Published: August 2018

Background: One of the mortality causes for burned children is Acinetobacter infection. In this study, we aimed to investigate the possible causes of Acinetobacter infections in our burn centre. We also investigated the possibility reasons of the spread from other centres to our burn unit. Material and MethodsDuring the evaluation of clinical course of burned patients, presence of Acinetobacter baumannii infections were also investigated in wound and blood cultures. Archives from August 2011 to May 2014 were evaluated for ages, percentages, hospitalization days, reasons of burns, transferring centres, infection existence time, culture types, antibiotics, exitus and discharges. Results were evaluated statistically (p<0.05).Results Reasons of burns and time of acinetobacter existence were significantly different in the clinical course (p=0.024). Also, the existence of acinetobacter infections was correlated with increase in burn percentage (p=0.011). Finally, culture findings about Acinetobacter infections affect remissions (p=0.047).ConclusionReasons of burns, hospitalization days and culture findings are very important for burned children infected with acinetobacter. Clinicians must be cautious in these aforementioned situations. Death may be seen if not precautions are taken. Literature is lacking on risk parameters, therefore our study will have an additive affect to literature in this subject.
Information Behavior Factors Related to Satisfaction with Treatment Decisions in Parents of Children with Cancer (Preprint)
Authors: Watanabe Makiko
Published: August 2018

BACKGROUND

Information behavior studies in modern medicine are indispensable not only for medical professionals but also in considering health outcomes for patients and health consumers. However, quantitative surveys do not provide sufficient information, and the medical information available on the Internet has not been analyzed in detail.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between information behavior and satisfaction with treatment decisions in patients and their family members and explore the characteristics of information behavior involved in treatment decisions.

METHODS

A retrospective, cross-sectional survey was conducted using a questionnaire (58 respondents, response rate 59.2%) for 105 parents of children with cancer at a children’s hospital in Japan. Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine whether information behavior influenced satisfaction with treatment decisions, and correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationships between information behaviors. The analysis included 15 information sources and information behavior measured as the communicative health literacy, critical health literacy, and Shared Decision Making measured using the Functional, Communicative and Critical Health Literacy Scale and the Treatment Decision Satisfaction Scale consisting of 6 items.

RESULTS

The results regarding the RQ1 showed that the attending physician (P = .044), medical institution websites (P = .038), medical books/scientific papers (including those published in English; P = .020), and communicative health literacy (which reflects information utilization capability; P = .048), influenced satisfaction with treatment decisions. The results regarding the RQ2 showed that parents who used the attending physician as an information source did not receive information from other sources apart from a hospital medical professional. On the other hand, parents who used medical institution websites as information sources received various descriptive information.

CONCLUSIONS

We identified Internet-based information sources that influenced satisfaction with treatment decisions. We identified that the parent's information behavior tended to have a positive influence on the treatment decision when the attending physician and the medical institution’s Health Practitioner, HP, were the information sources, or when they recognized that there was a high communicative HL and utilized the information. Furthermore, the variables used to measure information behavior were divided into several groups based on association. Regarding satisfaction with treatment decisions correlating with each other, information behavior reflected the possibility of establishing links with information sources with direct influence, related information sources, and information utilization capability.
Effects of Mock Facebook Workday Comments on Public Perception of Professional Credibility: A Field Study in Canada (Preprint)
Authors: Weijs Cynthia , Coe Jason , Desmarais Serge , Majowicz Shannon , Jones-Bitton Andria
Published: August 2018

BACKGROUND

There is considerable discussion of risks to health professionals’ reputations and employment from personal social media use, though its impacts on professional credibility and the health professional-client relationship are unknown.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to test the extent to which workday comments posted to health professionals’ personal Facebook profiles influence their credibility and affect the professional-client relationship.

METHODS

In a controlled field study, participants (members of the public) reviewed randomly assigned mock Facebook profiles of health professionals. The 2×2×2 factorial design of mock profiles included gender (female/male), health profession (physician/veterinarian), and workday comment type (evident frustration/ambiguous). Participants then rated the profile owner’s credibility on a visual analog scale. An analysis of variance test compared ratings. Mediation analyses tested the importance of credibility ratings on participants’ willingness to become a client of the mock health professional.

RESULTS

Participants (N=357) rated health professionals whose personal Facebook profile showed a comment with evident frustration rather than an ambiguous workday comment as less credible (P<.001; mean difference 11.18 [SE 1.28]; 95% CI 8.66 to 13.70). Furthermore, participants indicated they were less likely to become clients of the former when they considered credibility (standardized beta=.69; P<.001). Credibility explained 86% of the variation in the relationship between the type of workday comment and the participant’s willingness to become a client of the health professional.

CONCLUSIONS

This study provides the first evidence of the impact of health professionals’ personal online disclosures on credibility and the health relationship. Public perceptions about professionalism and credibility are integral to developing the evidence base for e-professionalism guidelines and encouraging best practices in social media use.
Deep Semantic Segmentation of Kidney and Space-occupying Lesion Area Using SCNN and ResNet models combined with SIFT-Flow Algorithm (Preprint)
Authors: Kaijian Xia
Published: August 2018

BACKGROUND

Renal segmentation is one of the most fundamental and challenging tasks in computer aided diagnosis systems.

OBJECTIVE

In order to overcome the shortcomings of automatic kidney segmentation based on deep network for abdominal CT images, a two-stage semantic segmentation of kidney and space-occupying lesion area based on SCNN and ResNet models combined with SIFT-flow transformation is proposed in paper,

METHODS

To facilitate the image retrieval, a Metric Learning-based approach is firstly proposed to construct a deep convolutional neural network structure using SCNN and ResNet network to extract image features and minimize the impact of interference factors on features, so as to obtain the ability to represent the abdominal CT scan image with the same angle under different imaging conditions. And then, SIFT Flow transformation is introduced, which adopts MRF to fuse label information, priori spatial information and smoothing information to establish the dense matching relationship of pixels so that the semantics can be transferred from the known image to the target image to obtain the semantic segmentation result of kidney and space-occupying lesion area.

RESULTS

In order to validate effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed method, we conduct experiments on self-establish CT dataset, focus on kidney organ and most of which have tumors inside of the kidney, and abnormal deformed shape of kidney. The experimental results qualitatively and quantitatively show that the accuracy of kidney segmentation is greatly improved, and the key information of the proportioned tumor occupying a small area of the image are exhibited a good segmentation results.

CONCLUSIONS

The proposed segmentation algorithm can be effectively applied in clinical diagnosis, help doctors to assist diagnosis, greatly improve the efficiency of work, less error probability.

Conflictos territoriales y perspectivas de desarrollo de la energía eólica en el istmo de Tehuantepec
Authors: Avilés Hernández Olinca Valeria
Published: August 2018

El presente artículo versa sobre los conflictos territoriales que surgieron a partir del desarrollo de energía eólica en el istmo de Tehuantepec oaxaqueño. Tal problemática se inició en 1994, con la instalación de la primera central eólica en Latinoamérica, denominada “La Venta I”, y en la actualidad continúa profundizándose debido a la llegada de más proyectos del mismo tipo. El trabajo se elaboró desde la perspectiva de la sociología política, orientación teórica con la que se analiza el proceso de transformación de la estructura territorial agraria mexicana en el istmo de Tehuantepec, el cual devino un plan de desarrollo energético, que provocó una confrontación entre dos grupos de interés sobre un mismo territorio: propietarios rurales y empresas eólicas. ¿Quiénes son los protagonistas de esta transformación territorial?, ¿qué cambia y qué permanece en este proceso histórico? Para el análisis de este complejo proceso de “modernización” y cambio de política energética, se compuso este texto, organizado en tres apartados que intentan englobar los aspectos más relevantes del problema.
Jürgen Habermas o la crítica pragmática de la comunicación: las posibilidades de un diálogo social
Authors: López Veneroni Felipe
Published: August 2018

En este artículo se hace un análisis del concepto de acción comunicativa ligando su desarrollo a varios puntos teóricos que guían la obra de Jürgen Habermas, particularmente su relación con el pensamiento de Max Weber. En este sentido, se establece la idea de la racionalidad argumentativa como un plano intermedio entre los extremos de una racionalidad instrumental y la racionalidad ético normativa, donde la pragmática permite reencauzar el discurso mediante la clarificación de las condiciones ideales del diálogo público como una forma de praxis política, que aspira a superar la dicotomía entre mundo de vida y sistema.
Percepción sobre la democracia en Aguascalientes
Authors: Reyes Rodríguez Andrés
Published: August 2018

El avance democrático de México es muy reciente y, pese a ello, vive ya una etapa de insatisfacción. La encuesta de percepción aplicada en los hogares de Aguascalientes confirma esta tendencia, pese a las diferencias en la edad, el ingreso y la escolaridad. Las respuestas obtenidas coinciden en lo general con las tendencias observadas en América Latina, donde se han encontrado categóricos rechazos a la política y a los políticos y, sin embargo, se encuentra en pie una valoración positiva sobre la democracia.

Los aguascalentesenses identifican este sistema político desde una óptica contrastante: ven la democracia ligada principalmente con la libertad y la igualdad, pero un porcentaje significativo de ciudadanos prefiere un sistema autoritario con tal de tener resultados eficaces. En esta parte de México un alto porcentaje de ciudadanos percibe la democracia vinculada con el desarrollo económico y con la seguridad pública. El desencanto democrático tiene matices que invitan a la reflexión.

Las respuestas indican que existe mayor interés democrático entre los grupos de adultos y las personas de mayor ingreso y escolaridad que entre los jóvenes y los grupos de menores ingresos y de bajo nivel educativo. Una probable explicación de los contrastes descritos se encuentra en la aceptación de una nula o baja convivencia democrática en los ámbitos familiar, educativo y laboral. La encuesta motiva más preguntas que respuestas y deja en claro la necesidad de realizar de forma permanente más estudios sobre el mismo tema.
Educação, estudos pós-coloniais e decolonialidade: Diálogos com a Lei 11.645/08
Authors: Santos Cledineia Carvalho
Published: August 2018

Este artigo surge das inquietações que foram nascendo à medida que fui tendo acesso as leituras de teóricos Pós-coloniais e Decoloniais no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Cultura e Sociedade - IAHC/UFBA e realçado ao participar do Curso Pensar em Movimento: Diálogos de saberes na sala de aula. No decorrer das leituras, debates e experiências fui motivada a relacionar os discursos promovidos com o campo da educação tanto no âmbito da sala de aula e enquanto atuante em programas de formação de professores no qual por muitas vezes voltamos nossos estudos e apreciação para a Lei 11.645 para a educação básica. Assim este artigo traz para o centro das discussões os paradigmas pós-coloniais e decoloniais do pensamento no intuito de fomentar as reflexões necessárias para a aplicabilidade da referida Lei, seus desafios e dilemas. Busca-se direcionar um olhar para o currículo oculto e subalternizados historicamente de forma a contribuir para colocar os povos afrodescentes e indígenas como protagonistas de sua própria história.
The use of an anthropogenic structure by Eastern Red-backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus)
Authors: LeGros David L.
Published: August 2018

Eastern Red-backed Salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) are abundant in much of eastern North America. Although they typically live on the forest floor, individuals may venture off the ground while foraging. An adult salamander was observed using a backcountry privy as cover; after being displaced, it returned to the original location within 9 h. Furthermore, the salamander scaled a 50-cm vertical height to return to that location. The salamander may have been using the privy as part of its territory and feeding on flies attracted by the faecal matter inside.
Ready for bed: pre-hibernation movements and habitat use by Fowler’s Toads (Anaxyrus fowleri)
Authors: Green David M. , Yagi Katharine T.
Published: August 2018

We used radio-tracking to investigate movement patterns and habitat use of Fowler’s Toads (Anaxyrus fowleri) during late summer and early fall in a relatively undisturbed lakeshore dune and beach habitat at Long Point, Ontario. Small radio transmitters were fitted to 11 adult toads with an external harness made from fine surgical plastic tubing wrapped around the body behind the front limbs. We located radio-tagged toads morning and evening, for a maximum of 9 days, recording their locations using Global Positioning System units. Initially, the toads were located on the upper beach or in the fore-dunes during the day, either dug in under the sand or hiding beneath debris; in the evening, they were generally active on the lower beach close to the water line. After a storm and the onset of cooler autumn weather, the toads tended to move further from the water line. They also curtailed their nightly activity and retreated deeper into the sand. As this sort of behaviour was not observed during the summer, we interpret it as pre-hibernation movement to more stable sites away from the beach where the animals can burrow deeply into the sand to lie dormant during the winter.
Sex-biased seasonal capture rates in Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta)
Authors: Moldowan Patrick D. , Brooks Ronald J. , Litzgus Jacqueline D.
Published: August 2018

We examined captures of Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta) in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, during the understudied summer–autumn transition period (August–September). The proportion of captured male turtles increased relative to the proportion of females during the late summer and early autumn sampling period, leading to male-biased capture rates in a population with a strongly female-biased sex ratio. We consider explanations for the capture bias in relation to sex-specific activity patterns and briefly discuss the implications of sampling period on the outcome of population structure studies.
Observations of Mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus) bycatch in a recreational ice fishery in northern Ontario
Authors: Lennox Robert J. , Twardek William M. , Cooke Steven J.
Published: August 2018

Bycatch in fisheries is a well-explored topic, although less so in recreational fisheries. We encountered frequent bycatch of Mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus), a neotenic aquatic salamander that is active in winter, in passively baited ice-fishing gear targetting teleost fishes. We noted hook location in Mudpuppies captured by two hook types: J-hooks and circle hooks. Our prediction was that circle hooks would reduce the frequency of deep hooking of Mudpuppies, which is often cited as an important predictor of post-release mortality in fishes. We found no difference in the frequency of deep hooking of Mudpuppies captured by circle or J-hooks, although, in a subset of Mudpuppies (n = 13) held for 24 h after capture, one death occurred (8%). Further research may be necessary to determine whether deeply hooked Mudpuppies can pass or shed hooks and survive beyond the 24-h period we monitored. However, our findings suggest that anglers and managers should consider refinements to handling practices for Mudpuppies captured as bycatch, because they are likely to survive if handled cautiously. These results, which are among the first describing non-fish bycatch in recreational fisheries, call for managers and anglers who encounter Mudpuppies during recreational fishing to seek more information and educational opportunities to improve the fate of this important component of temperate freshwater ecosystems and ecological indicator speciesthat is incidentally captured by ice fishing.
Continuously Monitoring Bank Risk, Reputation, and Opportunity
Authors: O'Leary Daniel E. , Spangler Scott
Published: August 2018

The explosion of social and other digital media now provides virtually a continuous stream of information about organizations, their people, and their products. Although CEOs and others see the use of that social and digital information as a potential opportunity for creating value, they also recently have noted that one of the biggest risks organizations face is the potential threat to organizational and brand reputations from those same digital media. Accordingly, organizations are seeking out systems that allow them to continuously review and monitor social and other digital media in time to respond to both threats and opportunities. This paper presents a case study that investigates a system that is designed to monitor and mine the rapidly growing amounts of digital data to help banks better understand changes taking place in their worlds—regarding their products, reputations, clients, vendors, competitors, and others. Critical decisions must be made on what issues, people, and products to monitor, what digital sources to monitor, and what to do whenever some potential problem is found. The purpose of this paper is to investigate issues associated with implementing continuous monitoring systems for brand and reputation in financial organizations, with a particular focus on the “information behavior” (Feldman and March 1981) of such systems. In particular, the computer science in continuous monitoring systems seems to be ahead of actual use of such systems in organizations. As a result, although continuous monitoring systems can help companies address the mechanics of “how to do continuous monitoring,” there are many open questions and implementation issues in the actual use of such systems. As a result, this paper first provides a brief background of digital disruption, some digital risks, and continuous monitoring systems. Second, the paper examines the structure and design of a system in a banking context, investigating the key system design capabilities associated with such systems. In particular, we page through different screen artifacts to gain an understanding of how the system works. Third, we examine some of the issues facing a CIO as she seeks a system to meet the bank's digital needs.

Celastrol, a plant-derived constituent of traditional Chinese medicine, has been proposed to offer significant potential as an antiobesity drug. However, the molecular mechanism for this activity is unknown. We show that the weight-lowering effects of celastrol are driven by decreased food consumption. Although young Lepob mice respond with a decrease in food intake and body weight, adult Lepdb and Lepob mice are unresponsive to celastrol, suggesting that functional leptin signaling in adult mice is required to elicit celastrol’s catabolic actions. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 (PTP1B), a leptin negative-feedback regulator, has been previously reported to be one of celastrol’s targets. However, we found that global PTP1B knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice have comparable weight loss and hypophagia when treated with celastrol. Increased levels of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in subcutaneous white and brown adipose tissue suggest celastrol-induced thermogenesis as a further mechanism. However, diet-induced obese UCP1 WT and KO mice have comparable weight loss upon celastrol treatment, and celastrol treatment has no effect on energy expenditure under ambient housing or thermoneutral conditions. Overall, our results suggest that celastrol-induced weight loss is hypophagia driven and age-dependently mediated by functional leptin signaling. Our data encourage reconsideration of therapeutic antiobesity strategies built on leptin sensitization.

Energia incorporada em habitações de interesse social na fase de pré-uso: o caso do programa Minha Casa Minha Vida no Brasil
Authors: Sposto Rosa Maria , Paulsen Jacob Silva
Published: August 2018

Nos últimos anos o governo brasileiro tem investido em programas de Habitações de Interesse Social para famílias de baixa renda; como exemplo, pode ser apontado o Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida. Considerando o grande porte deste programa, que consiste na produção de um número elevado de habitações, é importante analisar o impacto energético-ambiental negativo gerado, visando minimizá-lo, além de criar uma base de dados para futuras avaliações de projetos e tecnologia. O objetivo deste trabalho foi levantar a energia incorporada na fase de pré-uso por meio de um estudo de caso de uma Habitação de Interesse Social construída com um sistema convencional. A fase de pré-uso compreende a extração de matéria-prima, a fabricação de materiais e componentes, o transporte destes e a execução da habitação. O estudo de caso mostrou que a energia inicial incorporada desta habitação é 3,2GJ/m2. Cerca de 60% desta energia é utilizada na construção de vedações verticais, indicando que este é o elemento com maior potencial de melhorias para reduzir a energia incorporada.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Ciclo de vida. Energia incorporada. Vivência social.
História do urbanismo europeu: questões, instrumentos, casos exemplares
Authors: Andreotti Maria Beatriz
Published: August 2018

Embora tenha importância bastante significativa no contexto das pesquisas em urbanismo da atualidade, Donatella Calabi ocupa ainda, no Brasil, papel secundário nas disciplinas das escolas de arquitetura e urbanismo. Talvez seja por isso que, apesar de ter sido escrito em meados do ano 2000, é apenas 12 anos depois que o livro “História do Urbanismo Europeu” ganha sua tradução para o português. Dentro da série Estudos, da Editora Perspectiva, compõe com outras publicações da autora importante investigação acadêmica a que se dedica há mais de trinta anos1 . Essa ampla pesquisa justifica um projeto de tamanha envergadura como é a proposta deste livro, a saber, trabalhar a história do urbanismo desde o final do século XIX até as questões mais atuais.
Cuerpo humano y arquitectura: Analogías, metáforas, derivaciones
Authors: Ramírez Juan Antonio
Published: August 2018

Desde la Antigüedad, el cuerpo humano ha sido visto y entendido con fascinación, con curiosidad, con declarada admiración. Por ello no sorprende que, en repetidas ocasiones, se haya ensayado su proyección particular sobre el campo de la Arquitectura, aportando variopintas visiones que, en cualquier caso, exponen con especial atención el conocimiento de él y la sensibilidad frente a él, que tan magnífica y ejemplarmente han venido logrando, a lo largo de la Historia, tanto los médicos y filósofos como los teóricos y/o los prácticos del Arte. En un momento en el que el mundo actual rinde tan diverso y rendido culto a la realidad del cuerpo, el texto de este ensayo aparece como una auténtica "resurrección de la carne", explicitada a través de construcciones somáticas, literarias y literales.
AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE CONTENT VALIDITY OF A VIETNAMESE STANDARDIZED TEST OF ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (VSTEP.3-5) READING TEST
Authors: Thao Nguyen Thi Phuong
Published: August 2018

This paper investigated the content validity of a Vietnamese Standardized Test of English Proficiency (VSTEP.3-5) Reading test via both qualitative and quantitative methods.  The aim of the study is to evaluate the relevance and the coverage of the content in this test compared with the description in the test specification and the actual performance of examinees. With the content analysis provided by three testing experts using Bachman and Palmer’s 1996 framework and test score analysis, the study results in a relatively high consistency of the test content with the test design framework and the test takers’ performance. These findings help confirm the content validity of the specific investigated test paper. However, a need for content review is raised from the research as some problems have been revealed from the analysis.
METHOD OF SMS BASIC ELEMENTS DEVELOPMENT FOR THE AERODROME OPERATOR
Authors: Tolstykh S. A. , Sharov V. D.
Published: August 2018

In developing and implementing the safety management System (SMS), which is mandatory in accordance with ICAO SARPs and the requirements of the air legislation of the Russian Federation, civil aviation aerodrome operators face methodological problems mainly in two components of the SMS – risk management and calculation of the safety performance indicators. To solve these problems, the article proposes to use a new approach for risk management in the airlines, developed by the Airline Risk Management Solution Group (ARMS). When adapting the method to the activities of the airport operator, the specifics of aviation events at the airport are taken into account. Manifestations of hazard factors in the form of events and deviations from the norms are proposed to be structured in accordance with the classification of activities in ground handling according to ISAGO Manual. A method for calculating and monitoring the safety performance indicator for the airport operator having extremely rare aviation events is proposed. The advantages of the ARMS approach in the implementation of the main prognostic part of the risk assessment, which directly considers the ability of the system to counteract the dangerous situation under the influence of hazards are shown. A threelevel scheme of safety management at the airport is proposed. The method proposed in the article was used as a basis for SMS implemented at two international aerodromes of the Russian Federation.

Ästhetik und Politische Ikonographie der Briefmarke
Authors: Gabriel Gottfried
Published: August 2018

Die Briefmarke scheint ein so alltäglicher Gegenstand zu sein, daß ihr – von Motivsammlern einmal abgesehen – eine kunsthistorische oder gar ästhetische Aufmerksamkeit weitgehend versagt geblieben ist. Dabei hat Aby Warburg schon sehr früh die Briefmarke als ein Feld politischer Ikonographie erkannt, und auch von Walter Benjamin liegen Beobachtungen hierzu vor. Im Anschluß an frühere kulturgeschichtliche Arbeiten zur Bildersprache des deutschen Geldes untersucht der Vortrag am Bei- spiel der optischen Vergegenwärtigung des Brandenburger Tores auf Briefmarken der Weimarer Republik, des Dritten Reichs, der DDR und der Bundesrepublik die ästhetischen Darstellungs- und ikonographischen Propagandamöglichkeiten eines wenig beachteten Mediums.

Stamps are so familiar to us as everyday objects that we – with the exception of philatelists – are not used to considering their aesthetic value or their place in a history of art. They have therefore seldom been systematically investigated in this light. Nevertheless, these issues have been treated by some scholars. Aby Warburg, for instance, was one of the first to identify the importance of stamps for political iconography; and Walter Benjamin has also made insightful observations in this regard. This article takes up earlier work on the cultural history of the iconography of German money. It investigates exemplarily the presentation of the Brandenburg Gate on stamps of the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the GDR, and the Federal Re- public of Germany, in order to elucidate more generally aesthetic forms of representation and their exploitation for purposes of propaganda.
Confronting the Racial-Colonial Foundations of US Higher Education
Authors: Stein Sharon
Published: August 2018

Aim/Purpose: This paper invites readers to engage with analyses that diagnose the racial-colonial foundations of US universities as the root cause of many contemporary higher education challenges. To do so, it traces the “underside” of violence that subsidized three moments in US higher education history: the colonial era; land-grant legislation; and the post-War “golden age.” I argue that confronting these foundational violences, and our complicity in them, is a necessary part of any effort to unravel the harmful inherited patterns of representation, relationship, and resource distribution that continue to shape the present.

Methodology: This conceptual article reads mainstream histories of US higher education against the grain, and in conversation with critiques offered by decolonial and critical ethnic studies, in an effort to address the historical and ongoing racial-colonial conditions of possibility for our institutions.

Contribution: This paper contributes to scholarship on the foundations of higher education by inviting engagements with often-disavowed dimensions of those foundations.

Findings: Many of US higher education’s greatest achievements have not merely happened alongside, but have also been subsidized by racial-colonial dispossession. The fact that the higher education field rarely addresses these entangled histories may not be primarily due to a lack of information, but rather due to strong affective, material, and intellectual investments in the continuation of existing systems.

Recommendations for Practitioners: In addition to pluralizing our analyses of higher education’s foundations, scholars and practitioners will need to grapple with the difficulties and discomforts of facing up to the contemporary implications of those foundations.

Recommendation for Researchers: As for practitioners, in addition to pluralizing our analyses of higher education’s foundations, scholars and practitioners will need to grapple with the difficulties and discomforts of facing up to the contemporary implications of those foundations.

Future Research: With regard to both the ethical imperatives and political efficacy of responding to contemporary challenges, further research is needed that traces both the continuities and disjunctures between the past and the present of higher education.
Deep Learning On Code with an Unbounded Vocabulary
Authors: Cvitkovic Milan , Singh Badal , Anandkumar Anima
Published: August 2018

A major challenge when using techniques from Natural Language Processing for supervised learning on computer program source code is that many words in code are neologisms. Reasoning over such an unbounded vocabulary is not something NLP methods are typically suited for. We introduce a deep model that contends with an unbounded vocabulary (at training or test time) by embedding new words as nodes in a graph as they are encountered and processing the graph with a Graph Neural Network.

A Estratégia Saúde da Família, uma das mais bem sucedidas iniciativas para reorganização da Atenção Básica no Brasil, traz como diferencial o Agente Comunitário de Saúde (ACS), trabalhador da saúde que atua como interlocutor, facilitando o acesso da comunidade a ações promotoras de saúde. No entanto, é pouco conhecido o processo de orientação e formação destes trabalhadores para tratar de epidemias, como a dengue. Neste contexto, salienta-se a importância da aproximação entre estudantes de Medicina e ACS para que haja o fortalecimento não só da educação permanente destes trabalhadores, mas também da formação acadêmica dos futuros médicos. O método adotado foi o grupo focal com seis agentes de uma Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) no município de Jataí, Goiás, Brasil. O grupo focal foi conduzido por estudantes do curso de Medicina da Universidade Federal de Goiás, tendo como instrumento roteiro condutor elaborado por professores e estudantes. Este roteiro foi construído com enfoque em Educação em Saúde, para garantir a possibilidade de elaboração de futuras estratégias de ação pelos estudantes, contribuindo para a formação transdisciplinar dos alunos. Em seguida, foi feita a Análise de Conteúdo para análise e interpretação dos dados. Os estudantes observaram que os agentes acreditam que as estratégias comunicacionais adotadas são efetivas e acessíveis. Entretanto, constataram que há falhas comunicacionais a serem sanadas, pois a comunidade continua relutante em por em prática seus conhecimentos, encontrando assim um desafio a ser trabalhado com os agentes comunitários ao longo de sua formação acadêmica, em busca de novas estratégias de ação para o combate da doença. Os alunos já começaram a elaborar suas estratégias de ação, com base em conhecimentos construídos sobre comunicação e saúde coletiva. Acredita-se que este trabalho é de grande importância para desenvolver habilidades comunicacionais nos estudantes e para fortalecer seu compromisso com a responsividade social.
