One of the main objectives of the enterprise in modern business conditions is to increase the level of its capitalization, which is considered as the amount of capital and its structure by sources and types of assets. The structure of liabilities of Ukrainian enterprises by types of economic activity and trends in its change in 2012-2019 are considered. The negative phenomena of reducing the share of equity by almost one and a half times and the very significant dependence of construction and trade enterprises on borrowed capital, the share of which exceeds 90%, have been identified. It was revealed that the peculiarity of the activity of Ukrainian enterprises is the high level of receivables, the share of which in the assets of enterprises in 2019 was the largest and amounted to 35.1%. In the context of a broad understanding of capital, it is proposed to take into account in its structure hidden assets that are not accounted for in the balance sheet of the enterprise and are not its property, but to which it has the right to use and receive income.

It is established that intellectual migration is a special threat to the socio-economic development of Ukraine and sustainable development of society, as the formation of highly qualified scientific personnel, growth of scientific and technical potential of Ukraine is one of the important factors of economic and social progress. The difficult economic situation of education, low wages, working conditions, problems of self-realization are important factors in intensifying migration flows among scientists. It is proved that the imperfection of organizational forms, which would provide a close connection between science and higher education, makes it difficult to maintain education at a level that meets modern requirements, and to fully solve the problem of reproduction of scientific personnel. The factors that influence the outflow of personnel from the educational and scientific spheres to other countries (intellectual emigration) and to other spheres of activity (change of profession) are systematized.

Scavenger receptor B1 involvement in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease pathogenesis
Authors: Cervellati Carlo , Casolari Paolo , Pecorelli Alessandra , Sticozzi Claudia , Nucera Francesco , Papi Alberto , Caramori Gaetano , Valacchi Giuseppe
Published: August 2023

Objective

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Oxidative stress due to cigarette smoking seems to be one of the major driving mechanisms in COPD pathogenesis. Since the scavenger receptor B1 (SR-B1) appears to play a key role in mediating the uptake for ɑ-tocopherol and other antioxidants in lung tissue, we aimed to investigate its role in COPD pathogenesis.

Methods

Lung tissue biopsies were obtained from 12 subjects; 6 of these had a diagnosis of COPD in a stable clinical state, the others 6 were current (n = 1) or ex-smokers (n = 5) with normal lung function (controls). 4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE)–SR-B1 adducts were detected by immunoprecipitation. ɑ-tocopherol concentration was determined by HPLC.

Results

SR-B1 levels were lower in COPD patients and these results parallel with lower levels of vitamin E in lung tissue found in COPD patients. This effect can be the consequence of oxidative posttranslational modifications, confirmed by the binding of the peroxidation product 4-HNE to SR-B1 possibly leading to its degradation.

Conclusions

The loss of SR-B1 may be involved in lung ɑ-tocopherol content decrease with the consequence of making lung tissue more susceptible to oxidative damage as suggested by the SR-B1–4-HNE adduct formation, and more prone to COPD development. Thus, our findings suggest a novel role of SR-B1 in pathomechanisms underlying COPD.

Significance statement

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Oxidative stress has been suggested to be the major driving mechanism in COPD pathogenesis. Loss of scavenger receptor BI (SR-B1) significantly decreases tocopherol lung content making lung tissue more susceptible to oxidative damage. The results of our study show that SR-B1 levels were lower in COPD patients and these results parallel with lower levels of vitamin E in lung tissue. Our findings suggest a novel role of SR- B1 in pathomechanisms underlying COPD.

Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVES

Some pediatric institutions have developed adult inpatient services to enable quality care of hospitalized adults. Our objectives were to understand the characteristics of these adult inpatient services in pediatric hospitals, barriers and facilitators to their creation and sustainability, and patient and system needs they addressed.

METHODS

An explanatory mixed methods study was conducted using a distribution of an electronic survey followed by targeted semi-structured interviews of directors (or designates) of adult inpatient services in US pediatric hospitals. The survey identified institutional demographics, service line characteristics, and patient populations. An interview guide was created to explore survey findings and facilitators and barriers in the creation of adult inpatient services. Interviews were conducted after survey completion. A codebook was created using an inductive thematic approach and iteratively refined. Final themes were condensed, and illustrative quotes selected.

RESULTS

Ten institutions identified as having an adult inpatient service. Service staffing models varied, but all had dually trained internal medicine and pediatrics physicians. All participants voiced their respective pediatric institutions valued that these services filled a clinical care gap for hospitalized adults adding to whole-person care, patient safety, and health system navigation.

CONCLUSIONS

Adult inpatient services in pediatric institutions have been present for >15 years. These services address clinical care gaps for adults hospitalized in pediatric institutions and use specialized internal medicine and pediatrics knowledge. Demonstrating return on investment of these services using a traditional fee for service model is a barrier to creation and sustainability.
Cardiac Resynchronisation with Conduction System Pacing
Authors: Ezzeddine Fatima M , Leon Isaac G , Cha Yong-Mei
Published: August 2023

To date, biventricular pacing (BiVP) has been the standard pacing modality for cardiac resynchronisation therapy. However, it is non-physiological, with the activation spreading between the left ventricular epicardium and right ventricular endocardium. Up to one-third of patients with heart failure who are eligible for cardiac resynchronisation therapy do not derive benefit from BiVP. Conduction system pacing (CSP), which includes His bundle pacing and left bundle branch area pacing, has emerged as an alternative to BiVP for cardiac resynchronisation. There is mounting evidence supporting the benefits of CSP in achieving synchronous ventricular activation and repolarisation. The aim of this review is to summarise the current options and outcomes of CSP when used for cardiac resynchronisation in patients with heart failure.
Psychedelics, embodiment, and intersubjectivity
Authors: Blevins Kai River
Published: August 2023

Background and aims

Research into the social aspects of set and setting have demonstrated that race is a significant factor in psychedelic experiences for racially marginalized populations. Yet, many studies of psychedelic-induced experiences continue to proceed without collecting data on or considering the influence of race or other social categories. These approaches abstract subjectivity from its embodied and historical conditions, isolating consciousness in ways that do not accord with lived experience.

Methods

This article draws on critical phenomenology, anthropology, and treatments of race in the field of psychedelic studies to outline how social categories mediate subjective experience in historically specific ways through the framework of embodiment.

Results

I argue that consciousness is fundamentally intersubjective, including during psychedelic-induced experiences. Intersubjectivity is an existential condition that makes possible meaning, communication, and socialization, processes which rely on and are perpetually (re)enacted through social categories. Therefore, studies of psychedelic-induced experiences must account for the foundational role that social categories play in constituting such embodied experiences and their effects.

Conclusions

This approach makes embodied differences matter to the study of psychedelic-induced experiences, opening new avenues of inquiry that foreground identity, power, and context in both clinical and naturalistic research.
Peculiarities of the course of pregnancy and childbirth in women with early and late forms of fetal growth retardation
Authors:   SI «Uzhhorod National University», Ukraine, Lemish N.Y.
Published: August 2023

Purpose - to determine the features of the course of pregnancy and childbirth in women who had complications from the group of major obstetric syndromes (MОS), which were clinically manifested by early and late forms of fetal growth retardation syndrome (GRS). Materials and methods. A prospective analysis of the characteristics of the course of pregnancy and childbirth was conducted in 99 women who had complications from the group of MОS and were clinically manifested by fetal GRS, of which the Group I - 21 pregnant women with an early form of GRS, the Group II - 78 pregnant women with a late form of GRS. The diagnosis of GRS was established on the basis of ultrasound and Doppler examination data using percentile curves. Statistical processing of research results was carried out using standard Microsoft Excel 5.0 and Statistica 6.0 programs. Results. The analysis of the course of the II trimester in the Group II of pregnant women showed that the threat of termination of pregnancy occurred in 22 (28.2%) cases, with the transition to isthmic-cervical insufficiency and was 5 (6.4%) cases. An increase in the frequency of arterial hypertension was noted up to 3 (14.3%) cases in the Group I of pregnant women, while acute respiratory diseases in 6 (7.7%) cases and gestational pyelonephritis in 4 (5.1%) cases occurred only in the Group II female patients. The diagnosis of placental insufficiency and GRS was made more often in the Group I and amounted to 6 (5.8%) cases. In the III trimester of pregnancy in the examined patients, it was found that the diagnosis of placental insufficiency was in 7 (33.3%) patients, preeclampsia in 6 (28.6%) pregnant women and arterial hypertension in 3 (14.3%) patients and met reliably more often in the Group I (p<0.05), and such complications as fetal distress in 4 (5.1%) cases, acute respiratory diseases in 6 (7.7%) cases occurred only in the Group II. It was established that in the group with the early form of GRS, the average delivery time was 31 weeks, and in the group with the late form of GRS - 39 weeks. The frequency of delivery by caesarean section in the Group I was significantly higher and amounted to 13 (61.9%) cases against 21 (26.9%) cases in the Group II (p<0.05). Conclusions. The course of pregnancy in women with various forms of the GRS syndrome has its own characteristics, namely: with the early form of the GRS, pregnancy is significantly more often complicated by the threat of termination, gestational anemia, bacterial vaginosis, early development of placental insufficiency, and preeclampsia, which in turn leads to a significant increase in the frequency of cesarean delivery autopsy in case of premature pregnancy. The research was conducted according to principles of Declaration of Helsinki. Protocol of research was proved by local ethical committee, mentioned in institution’s work. Women’s informed consent was obtained for the study. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.

Authors:   Shupyk National Healthcare University of Ukraine, Kyiv, Mudra Yu.S.
Published: August 2023

Purpose - to assess the quality of life (QoL) and psycho-emotional state of pregnant women with hepatitis B virus (HBV). Materials and methods. 86 pregnant women with HBV were examined, who were divided into two subgroups: HBV1 - 38 women with obstetric and perinatal complications, HBV2 - 48 pregnant women without significant gestational complications. The QoL was assessed using the WHOQOL-BREF and CLDQ questionnaires and the level of anxiety and depression according to the HADS scale. Results. According to the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, the quality of life of HBV1 patients was significantly reduced in all domains except for D4 Environment. These women experience the greatest decline in QoL in the field of physical health (the estimate is 40% lower). For domains D2 Mental health and D3 Social relations, there was a decrease in the score by 23.6 and 28.7%, respectively. According to the CLDQ questionnaire of quality of life in chronic liver diseases, a significant difference between groups of pregnant women was established in 2 of 6 domains: AS abdominal symptoms 4.18±0.33 versus 5.19±0.24 points in the HBV2 group (p<0.05), WO Anxiety 3.41±0.21 vs. 4.35±0.36 points, respectively (p<0.05). According to the HADS Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, women in the HBV1 group are significantly more likely to be diagnosed with anxiety (60.5%), in particular, clinically pronounced anxiety in 15.8%. Almost half (44.8%) of the patients had depression, in 5.3% it was clinically pronounced. Conclusions. The results obtained confirm the role of psychological changes and a decrease in the QoL in the occurrence of obstetric and perinatal complications in HBV and indicate the need for their assessment, correction, and the possibility of using them as criteria for predicting complications and assessing the quality of treatment. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interests was declared by the author.

Purpose - to carry out a systematic analysis of humoral and blood cellular immunity parameters in preschool children with a different frequency of acute respiratory infection (ARI) during the previous year using bootstrap analysis. Materials and methods. Twenty-six children (11 boys and 15 girls) aged 1 to 4 years old, undergoing inpatient treatment on ARI, were involved in the clinical study. Serum concentrations of immunoglobulins (Ig) of classes A, M, G, E and a number of blood cellular immunity parameters were studied. Also, two indicators of ARI recurrence were calculated, namely, the infectious index and the resistance index. The statistical processing of the primary digital material obtained was performed by IBM SPSS Statistics 28 licensed program. Results. A direct moderate bootstrap correlation between the resistance index and serum IgA concentration in the preschool children with the different frequency of ARI according to their anamnesis (Bρ=0.407; p<0.001 [0.397-0.418]) was established. A rank correlation analysis, a multiple linear and an ordinal logistic regression combined with bootstrapping showed no significant relationship between particular serum Ig, on the one hand, and particular blood cellular immunity parameters, on the other hand. A partial bootstrap correlation analysis revealed the significant influence of many covariates studied on the strength of relationship between the indicators in the selected pair combinations. Conclusions. Provided the initial quantitative limitation of the observation group of the preschool children suffering from recurrent respiratory infections, the bootstrapping procedure applied significantly expands the interpretive possibilities of the clinical and immunological study results. Besides the standard estimation of the asymptotic significance of partial correlation coefficients, the bootstrap definition of their 95% confidence interval is an additional and highly informative way to check the results’ statistical validity. The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the local ethics committees of the institutions mentioned in the paper. An informed parental consent was obtained for the study in children. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.

Published: August 2023

The treatment of somatotropic insufficiency (SI) remains one of the most important problems in paediatric endocrinology. Since 1985, recombinant growth hormone (rGH) has been widely used to correct the growth of children with SI. Sufficient clinical experience has been gained in the use of rGH preparations, and the efficacy and safety of rGH therapy in children and adolescents with various forms of short stature has been proven. However, there are a number of factors that can have a significant impact on the achievement of final height in adulthood, including a wide range of sensitivity to exogenous growth hormone (GH), the degree of endogenous GH deficiency, patient compliance, and other uncertain factors. Patients with GH deficiency require long-term treatment, the effectiveness of which decreases significantly over time, prompting the search for optimal treatment options. Purpose - to evaluate the effectiveness of combined therapy of pre-pubertal children with SI with rGH and vitamin D drugs. Materials and methods. 23 pre-pubertal children with isolated SI were examined, who took monotherapy with rGH for 3 years. When the effectiveness of monotherapy decreases, vitamin D are added to the treatment complex. The level of 25(OH)D in blood serum is determined by the immunochemiluminescence method on microparticles (Abbott, USA). The levels of GH and insulin-like growth factor-1 were studied by solid-phase enzyme immunoassay using Immulite 2000 XPI kits. Results. At the end of the first year of rGH monotherapy, all patients showed a significant (p<0.05) increase in height. However, already after the second and third years of treatment, height velocity (HV) decreased in all patients. The increase in HV in the third year of treatment with rGH was significantly lower (p<0.05) than in the first year. Thanks to the addition of vitamin D, the further decrease in HV was stopped after the third year of monotherapy with rGH. The increase in HV during the first year of combined therapy was significantly (p<0.05) greater than during the third year of treatment with rGH monotherapy. The same trend was observed after the second year of combined therapy. Conclusions. In the presence of a decrease in the effectiveness of therapy with rGH after the first years of treatment, it is considered appropriate to use combined therapy of children with SI with rGH and vitamin D. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.

Authors: Kovalev Nikolai Nikolayevich , Leskova Svetlana Evgenyevna , Mikheev Evgeny Valerevich
Published: August 2023

The research of the effect of gibberellic (0.4 - 3.8x 10-8 mol.L-1) and salicylic (0.4 - 3.8 x 10-5 mol.L-1) acids, in a wide range of their concentrations, on the growth indicators and biochemical composition of the cumulative culture of the microalgae Phaeodactylum tricornutum was carried out. It was determined that salicylic acid in a concentration of 0.4 x 10-5 mol stimulated cell growth by 184.6%, and gibberellic acid at a concentration of 0.39 x 10-8 mol by 181%, compared to the control. The effect of gibberellic acid during the experiment was expressed in the inhibition of protein accumulation in the culture, compared with the control. The use of salicylic acid led to a greater accumulation of protein in the culture than when using gibberellic acid. It was shown that salicylic acid had a positive effect on the accumulation of carbohydrates on day 9 and gibberellic acid on day 14 of culture. Gibberellic acid had no effect on the accumulation of lipids in the culture of microalgae. Under the action of salicylic acid for 14 days of cultivation, the lipid content increased by 18.5%, compared with the control. There were no quantitative differences in the content of chlorophyll when using two phytohormones. In this study, the optimal concentrations of gibberellic and salicylic acids for linear growth rate and the highest production of protein and carbohydrates for Phaeodactylum tricornutum were determined. Position, depending on the stage of microalgae growth, is noted.

Authors:   College of Humanities and Social Sciences, National Dong Hwa University, Universitas Kristen Indonesia, Sianipar Imelda Masni Juniaty
Published: August 2023

This article examines Chinese-Philippine cooperation within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This is an intriguing issue because, in 2016, many people predicted that China would exclude the Philippines from the BRI framework due to their dispute over the Scarborough Shoal. Former Philippine President Benigno Aquino III had criticized China’s South China Sea maritime expansion, but Duterte changed the country’s foreign policy in 2016. He followed China’s advice and moved forward, resolving differences between the two countries and developing a healthy bilateral relationship. This article found that the BRI framework is critical in this shift in diplomatic relations. China and the Philippines’ interdependence, as well as the shift in identity from an enemy to a partner, have both contributed to the improvement of China-Philippines relations.

Published: August 2023

This paper investigated the landscape, attractiveness, and contours of teleworking in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted purely qualitative techniques. The sample size was 40 participants purposively selected in 25 work organizations in both private and public sectors. Study instruments were Key Informant Interviews conducted with 20 Human Resource Practitioners and In-Depth Interviews conducted with 20 senior staff members of the selected organizations. Most organizations in Lagos were forced to adopt teleworking during or after the 2020 lockdown and its landscape in Lagos state has become wider and smoother. Study also revealed that teleworking is attractive to employees in terms of avoiding road/traffic challenges, enhances work-family balance and a viable option for individuals living with disabilities, pregnant and nursing mothers. To employers, it enhances business continuity, saves cost, and reduces concerns about disease and illnesses. The study identifies poor technological and infrastructural base, absence of labour policy framework, organizational policy, capacity building, data security issues as contours hindering effective teleworking in Lagos State. The practice of teleworking has been firmly established in Lagos State, Nigeria. Governments and Employers of labour stand to gain immensely from the adoption of teleworking if relevant social and organizational policies are made available, as well as making the operating economic and technological environments more conducive.

Authors:   Voronezh State University, Kyrchanoff M. W.
Published: August 2023

The aim of the study is to analyze the modern politics of memory in Georgia in the early 2020s. The author analyzes the role and place of liberal trends in modern Georgian social thought as a factor in the development and transformation of memorial culture and collective historical memory. The novelty of the study lies in the study of the current (modern) stage in the development of the historical policy of Georgian society in the context of an objective lack of interdisciplinary research focused on the analysis of the memorial cultures of the post-Soviet space, based of the original sources use. The article also shows that 1) the liberal segment of modern Georgian society makes a significant contribution to the developments and transformations of memorial culture; 2) the spectrum of memorial practices of Georgian intellectuals varies from historical revisionism to attempts to form a liberal memorial canon; 3) the participation of intellectuals in memorial policy contributes to a parallel co-development of various forms of historical memories. It is assumed that the role of Georgian civil society, including its liberal segment, in the historical politics of modern Georgia will increase, and the intellectual community will remain among the active participants in collective memorial politics.

Philosophy of bridge building
Authors: Vasiliev Alexander
Published: August 2023

The author presents a philosophical interpretation of the contribution of bridge construction to the development of civilization.

Bridges have always been an important element of civilization, an instrument of human interaction with each other and with nature, an object of not only physical, but, above all, intellectual human activity. Therefore, their philosophical understanding, penetration into the logic and dialectics of the development of bridge construction is justified and necessary.

The following main factors determine the development of bridge construction: concept and criteria, requirements, competition, experience and information.

The concept of the projected bridge should take into account the categories of purpose, reliability, economy, traditions, the level of design achieved, personal preferences and experience of the designer.

The goal pursued by the construction of a specific bridge in a specific location is determined mainly by current needs, is formulated in the Terms of Reference and is regulated by the levels of consumer properties set in the norms.

At the same time, the criteria of strength and reliability must be observed throughout the entire life cycle. The level of reliability is provided by design standards.

The requirements for bridges should contain social, technical and humanitarian aspects. The economy is almost always, at least in our country, the main criterion when choosing a bridge option.

Competition is one of the main conditions for the development of nature and human society. There are three types of competition in the field of bridge construction: between different countries (competition of prestige), competition of scientific and design schools, competition in bidding.

Experience and information are important for the development of bridge construction. We are talking here about the collective experience of the bridge community.

An effective means of exchanging experience and ideas is technical literature, and above all, technical journals and collections, various bridge forums.

Abstract Pseudoaneurysm of the palmar arch is a rare entity. Diagnosis is dependent on high clinical suspicion. We present a case referred to the emergency department, with a history of glass penetrating trauma to the palmar surface with a pulsatile mass and jet bleeding. Doppler ultrasound evidenced a partially thrombosed pseudoaneurysm. A CT angiography examination showed a saccular formation arising from the superficial palmar arch. A conventional surgical approach was indicated. A clinical suspicion must be ventured to arrive at the correct diagnosis. Imaging modalities are needed to identify the pseudoaneurysm and plan the treatment course. Nonetheless, the sequence of diagnosis is individual, because further evaluation with different imaging methods may not change the rationale for the intervention. In our experience, conventional surgical removal is preferable, due to its safety and well-established outcomes.
The Porto Maravilha Project and the 450 years of the city of Rio: on highlights and silences
Authors: Silva José Cláudio Sooma , Sepulveda José Antonio Miranda
Published: August 2023

Abstract This paper discusses certain political uses that the Administration of Eduardo Paes has undertaken concerning the Rio de Janeiro past during his two consecutive terms in charge of the city hall (2009-2016). To this end, anchored in the problematization of different places of memory and their relationship with what is made and taught by historians in their historiographic operations, it focuses on the Porto Maravilha Project that emerged within the celebrations of the city's 450th anniversary, celebrated in 2015. This event contributed both to erasing dimensions and public works related to the military dictatorship and the emergence of other (hi)stories for the city and its people.
Repercussions of the Empire in the Portuguese education (1906 - 1951). Breaking new ground in a little-explored field

Abstract Repercussions of the Empire in Portuguese Education (1906 to 1951). Breaking new ground in a little-explored field, this text addresses the question of the image of the colonies and the colonized in the context of Portuguese education (1906 to 1951) through Portuguese textbooks and a manual to teach indigenous Angolan children. The latter was edited in two moments - we suppose at the beginning of the Republic and in re-editions during the Dictatorship. We used materials referring to the first colonial exhibition in 1934 and the 1940 Portuguese World exhibition. The work is situated in the perspective of postcolonial studies, attempting to re-read colonialism in Portuguese education. We used heterogeneous sources and raised some questions to point out that much is yet to be studied.
Evidências de desindustrialização setorial no Brasil: uma análise por modelos ARDL
Authors: Rodrigues Regiane Lopes , Veríssimo Michele
Published: August 2023

Resumo A literatura kaldoriana argumenta que o processo de desindustrialização reduz o potencial de crescimento econômico no longo prazo. Assim, identificar suas causas é de suma importância para a formulação de políticas eficazes. Este artigo investiga as causas de desindustrialização no Brasil em uma perspectiva setorial, com base no conceito de desindustrialização pela reprimarização da economia, cuja perda de participação dos setores industriais nas exportações é justificada, sobretudo, pelos preços das commodities e pela apreciação cambial. Para tanto, são estimados modelos Autorregressivos de Defasagens Distribuídas (ARDL), com dados de 2002 a 2021. Visto que os efeitos das variáveis analisadas são discrepantes entre os setores, os resultados sinalizam que a desindustrialização no Brasil é heterogênea, tanto entre as categorias por intensidade tecnológica quanto entre os setores individuais. Todavia, os efeitos negativos de curto e longo prazos da valorização dos preços das commodities observado em diversos setores corroboram a hipótese de reprimarização da economia.
Uma investigação dos fatores direcionadores (drivers) da intensidade da interação entre pequenas e médias empresas brasileiras e universidades e institutos públicos de pesquisa
Authors: Oliveira Vanessa Parreiras , Garcia Renato
Published: August 2023

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar os fatores direcionadores (drivers) da intensidade da interação entre pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs) brasileiras e universidades e institutos públicos de pesquisa. Informações do Diretório dos Grupos de Pesquisa no Brasil referentes às áreas de Engenharia e Ciências Agrárias e da Relação Anual de Informações Sociais foram utilizadas na estimação de quatro modelos econométricos que exploram os drivers relacionados às características estruturais e comportamentais das empresas interativas, aos seus relacionamentos com grupos de pesquisa e à política de ciência, tecnologia e inovação. Os resultados mostram que o porte, a experiência prévia em colaboração e a capacidade de absorção, que refletem capacitações e recursos internos das empresas para cooperar, em adição ao acesso ao financiamento público, são fatores que influenciam a intensidade da interação das PMEs. Ademais, é possível identificar especificidades dos fatores direcionadores da intensidade da interação quando essas empresas são separadas por faixas de porte.
Privações múltiplas e homicídios: o caso da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (2001-2018)
Authors: Batista Henrique Rogê
Published: August 2023

Resumo A dinâmica da taxa de homicídios no Brasil entre 2001-2018 apresenta uma trajetória de certa estabilidade configurando-se como um problema crônico com desdobramentos econômicos e sociais. Neste cenário, a Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (RMSP) se destaca das demais pela queda dessa taxa e por apresentar o menor valor no final do período analisado. Paralelamente, a RMSP também assistiu ao decréscimo da privação múltipla dos seus indivíduos. Tendo isso em vista, este trabalho objetivou avaliar a evolução destas privações múltiplas na RMSP e sua relação com a taxa de homicídios. Em suma, observa-se que a situação de privação é multidimensional e determina a potencialidade do indivíduo para a prática criminal; das variáveis selecionadas, a educação e a condição do indivíduo de não estudar e nem possuir renda são as que apresentam maiores elasticidades positivas com a taxa de homicídios e; os riscos de punição da atividade ilegal desincentivam a sua prática.
Profissionais de apoio à inclusão escolar: quem são e o que fazem esses novos atores no cenário educacional?
Authors: Lopes Mariana Moraes , Mendes Enicéia Gonçalves
Published: August 2023

RESUMO O estudo é um recorte da dissertação publicada pela autora, que teve como objetivo geral descrever e analisar o perfil e a atuação dos profissionais de apoio à inclusão escolar em diferentes contextos municipais, envolvendo cinco municípios, três do estado da Bahia e dois do estado de São Paulo. Participaram do estudo 30 profissionais de apoio à inclusão escolar, por meio de grupos focais. O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar duas categorias: aspectos administrativos e funções exercidas por esses profissionais de apoio à inclusão escolar no contexto escolar. Apesar das lacunas na literatura, o referencial teórico utilizado foi suficiente para o embasamento da pesquisa. Os resultados evidenciaram: precariedade no perfil e na atuação dos profissionais, serviço de apoio adotado indiscriminadamente, péssimas condições de trabalho, desvio de função, profissional sem perfil adequado, precarização e privatização dos suportes de inclusão escolar. Além de apontar que os profissionais de apoio à inclusão escolar são, em algumas situações, os únicos profissionais, quando deveriam ser parte de uma rede de apoio, aponta-se a importância desse profissional para uma parcela de alunos do público-alvo da educação especial. Porém, há a necessidade de: definição de diretrizes, melhora das condições de trabalho, definição das atribuições do cargo formação continuada e supervisão.
