Theatre and democracy in the Athenian city state
Authors: Allern Tor-Helge
Published: December 2017

This article discusses the relationship between theatre and democracy in the Athenian city-state. The multivocal form of theatre and its dialogical character were essential to a functioning democracy. In tragedy, the dialogical and participatory aspect also involved the staging of ambivalence, linguistic ambiguities, the characters’ misunderstandings, their selfish hubris and fatal choices. Tragedy shows the democratic potential of theatre to open up the acknowledgement that no single voice or way of living is absolutely or completely true. Tragedy was also an option when it came to giving marginalized groups (women, youth, slaves and foreigners) a voice, and challenging hegemonic perspectives and traditional conceptions; however, I will also show how both these institutions fortified men’s dominance in society.
Drama, dissensus, remediation and a fluttering butterfly
Authors: Kusk Hanne
Published: December 2017

Why is it important to pay attention to democracy and polyphony when working with remediation in a multimodal drama project in introductory schooling? This question is elucidated and investigated in this article on the basis of a drama project case study conducted at Hundborg Friskole. The study is analysed on the basis of the concepts of remediation (Bolter and Grusin 1999; Christoffersen 2009), dissensus (Biesta 2013; Rancière 2013), dialogue and polyphony (Dysthe, Bernhardt and Esbjørn 2012). The examples in the investigation show how dialogue, polyphony and dissensus influence the art-based process of remediation, and how this impacts children’s democratic education.
The teacher as leader of democratic processes in the drama classroom
Authors: Vangsnes Vigdis , Økland Nils Tore Gram
Published: December 2017

This is a follow-up study to a previous large-scale qualitative study that explored teacher practice, in which it was suggested that the teacher’s role is best understood by considering three main categories of activities: the directing, the supportive and the distal teacher roles. These three are dynamic roles or positions among which the pedagogue continuously alternates to achieve the aims that foster learning and socialization in students. Based on new data from primary school classrooms, where the teaching method is process drama, we analyse how the teacher can stimulate democratic bildung in the drama classroom through alternation between the directing, the supportive and the distal teacher roles. A dramaturgical and educational analysis of the participants’ actions and communication in the classroom shows that one important factor in democratic bildung in the classroom is the teacher’s pedagogical judgement. The alternation between teacher roles shows that the teacher has a conscious perspective of their professional role in the learning process. The analysis also shows that process drama is a teaching strategy that provides space and opportunity for the directing, the supportive and the distal teacher roles – all of which, when practised dynamically, make possible different forms of democratic student participation.
Towards a new ‘we’: Applied theatre as integration
Authors: Bruun Ellen Foyn
Published: December 2017

This article presents the Norwegian applied theatre project called P:UNKT, which suggests a meeting point, a crossroads and encounters. The aim of the project was to stimulate integration and cultural diversity, with the outreach nature of P:UNKT resulting in new ways of interaction and collaboration across groups and institutions. I conducted research on the project from 2010 to 2012 and three years later, in 2016. I claim that the project enabled ethnic Norwegians and immigrants to create unique storytelling theatre together that transcended the conventional preconceptions of us and them, resulting in the emergence of a new ‘we’. This type of social and applied theatre run by a professional, state-funded theatre is not common in Norway. The findings of my research are therefore of relevance to local communities, theatre companies and politicians. The P:UNKT project is an example of the active role that applied theatre can play in shaping Norwegian identity construction in the twenty-first century.
Our Lady’s Folk: Creating authoritative aesthetic communication in documentary theatre
Authors: Aune Vigdis
Published: December 2017

In 2014 there was a constitutional anniversary in Norway. The documentary theatre Vår Frues Folk (Our Lady’s Folk) was based on a hypothesis that staged experiences by people who function and live on the margins of the welfare state serve as a critical contribution to the celebration of the constitution. The director is at the heart of any theatre production, and is therefore at risk of colonizing the material and reproducing the interviewees’ voices from their own perspectives and artistic interests. A major question was therefore how ownership and authority could unfold thematically and aesthetically in collaboration with the interviewees. The theatre project was inspired by Hannah Arendt’s thoughts about authority and about creating arenas where the potential for spontaneous actions, dialogue and aesthetic experiences can be linked to debate about democratic politics. This article explains and discusses how design-based artistic strategies safeguarded the ability to act as an authority, act with authority, and create authoritative, aesthetic communication in documentary theatre.

Published: December 2017

This work intends to study a set of Hispano-Moresque tile fragments from the Lisbon Roman Theatre Museum collection. The chemical and morphological characterization of the glazes and the ceramic body was presented and also the mineralogical characterization of the latter. The glazes are plumbic, being the opacity of the white and blue colors due to SnO2 (4-11 %). The other colors present amounts of SnO2 lower than 2 %. The ceramic body is typical of calcite-based pastes with CaO between 16-28 % and Fe2O3 between 4-5 %, the latter being responsible for the cream/ rose color. The mineralogical study identified wollastonite, calcite, diopside and calcic plagioclases. The results indicate that the firing temperature was generally around 1000 ºC while in some cases it was probably closer to 900 ºC. Physical characterization revealed values of 30-42 % for open porosity, a bimodal pore size distribution, a maximum water absorption of 16-26 % and a water absorption coefficient by capillarity of 1,5-6,1 kg·m-2·h-1/2.
Outsourcing as a solution of problems of transfer price in multiple companies: A case study
Çokuluslu şirketlerde transfer fiyatlandırması sorunlarının çözümü olarak dış kaynak kullanımı (outsourcing): Bir vaka çalışması
Authors: Ayvaz Ednan
Published: December 2017

The scope and complexity of international tax regulations on transfer pricing is largely focused on adhering to taxation rather than market competition. Outsourcing has been extensively described in order to comprehend it better for comparability functions and analysis, transfer pricing methods accepted by the OECD and the arm's length principle to identify similar transactions between independent parties. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the necessity of minimizing of the conflict between the tax auditors and multinational corporations and of the inefficiencies of tax rules and the arbitration mechanisms in transfer pricing. As a result of the work, it was explained in the case study that enterprises exposed to tax and tax penalties in large quantities because the tax authorities independently considered the comparable function analysis of the OECD guideline as outsourcing in determining the cost of the proposal in the framework of transfer pricing.Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetTransfer fiyatlandırması konusunda uluslararası vergi düzenlemelerinin kapsamı ve karmaşıklığı genel olarak piyasa rekabetinden ziyade vergiye riayet etmeye odaklıdır.

Bağımsız taraflar arasındaki benzer işlemleri belirlemek için emsallerine uygunluk ilkesi (the arm’s length principle), OECD tarafından kabul edilen transfer fiyatlandırma yöntemleri ve karşılaştırılabilirlik fonksiyonları ve analizinin daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi için dış kaynak kullanımı (outsourcing) geniş şekilde açıklanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı transfer fiyatlandırmasında çokuluslu şirketlerle vergi denetçilerinin arasındaki çatışmayı ve vergi kurallarında ve tahkim mekanizmalarındaki verimsizlikleri en aza indirme gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, transfer fiyatlandırması çerçevesinde emsale uygun bedelin tespitinde vergi idaresinin, OECD rehberindeki karşılaştırılabilir fonksiyon analizini dış kaynak kullanımı olgusundan bağımsız olarak ele alması nedeniyle işletmenin yüklü miktarda vergi ve vergi ziyaı cezasına maruz kalması vaka çalışması çerçevesinde açıklanmıştır.
General high school administrators’ views about budget management competencies
Bütçe yönetimi yeterliklerine ilişkin genel lise müdürlerinin görüşleri
Authors: Karakütük Kasım , Özdoğan Özbal Ece
Published: December 2017

The purpose of this research is to determine the competencies which the high school principals already have or should have about budget management. Within the scope of research, out 2412 high school principals, which create the population of the research, 332 were counted as a 5% margin of error  and 385 principals were reached out in total. Collection of the research data was conducted via “The Survey of School Principals’ Budget Management Competencies”, which was prepared by researchers. While analyzing the data, frequency tests and chi square analysis were used.  Within the scope of the research, it was found out that the high school principals were not as qualified as they though they should have been about budget planning, budget application and legal regulations about budget. In addition, it was also found out that there was not a huge difference but a visible one in terms of the competencies that high school principals should have and already have in accordance with the education they received. This result shows that there is the need of in-service-training for high school principals in order to raise their level of sufficiency about budget management.Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı genel lise müdürlerinin bütçe yönetimi konusundaki yeterliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlamaktadır.

Stereotypes in health professional students – perspectives for research about interprofessional learning, teaching and working / Stereotype von Lernenden in den Gesundheitsprofessionen – Perspektiven für die Forschung zum interprofessionellen Lernen, Lehren und Arbeiten
Authors: Wild Heike , Ewers Michael
Published: December 2017

Background

As the scientific discourse about interprofessional learning, teaching, and practice has been gaining momentum in recent years, German-speaking countries still have a considerable amount of catching up to do compared with other countries. The discourse about stereotypes and their effects may serve as an example in this respect.

Objective

We set out to establish which theoretical and methodological approaches have been used in research on stereotypes endorsed by health professions students and which empirical findings are currently available on the effects of such stereotypes on interprofessional learning, teaching and practice. The main goal was to summarize the current research, to point out research desiderata and identify starting points for further research about this topic.

Methods

A broad narrative review of English and German literature was performed. Results were prepared, reflected and descriptive and analytical summarized.

Results

International research on stereotypes of health professions students in the interprofessional discourse is characterized by social-psychological theoretical and quantitative-empirical methodological approaches. Heterogeneous study designs limit the comparability and generalizability of current study findings. Answers to questions of whether and how stereotypes can be influenced through interprofessional learning, teaching, and practice were inconsistent in the literature.

Conclusion

Research findings on stereotypes endorsed by health professions students provided interesting theoretical and empirical perspectives for the debate surrounding interprofessional learning, teaching, and practice. These perspectives should be used to guide and stimulate further research on this topic in German-speaking countries.
Back to Pupillometry: How Cortical Network State Fluctuations Tracked by Pupil Dynamics Could Explain Neural Signal Variability in Human Cognitive Neuroscience
Authors: Schwalm Miriam , Rosales Jubal Eduardo
Published: December 2017

The mammalian thalamocortical system generates intrinsic activity reflecting different states of excitability, arising from changes in the membrane potentials of underlying neuronal networks. Fluctuations between these states occur spontaneously, regularly, and frequently throughout awake periods and influence stimulus encoding, information processing, and neuronal and behavioral responses. Changes of pupil size have recently been identified as a reliable marker of underlying neuronal membrane potential and thus can encode associated network state changes in rodent cortex. This suggests that pupillometry, a ubiquitous measure of pupil dilation in cognitive neuroscience, could be used as an index for network state fluctuations also for human brain signals. Considering this variable may explain task-independent variance in neuronal and behavioral signals that were previously disregarded as noise.
PRC2 Is Dispensablein Vivofor β-Catenin-Mediated Repression of Chondrogenesis in the Mouse Embryonic Cranial Mesenchyme

Published: December 2017

A hallmark of craniofacial development is the differentiation of multiple cell lineages in close proximity to one another. The mouse skull bones and overlying dermis are derived from the cranial mesenchyme (CM). Cell fate selection of the embryonic cranial bone and dermis in the CM requires Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and loss of β-catenin leads to an ectopic chondrogenic cell fate switch. The mechanism by which Wnt/β-catenin activity suppresses the cartilage fate is unclear. Upon conditional deletion of β-catenin in the CM, several key determinants of the cartilage differentiation program, including Sox9, become differentially expressed. Many of these differentially expressed genes are known targets of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2). Thus, we hypothesized that PRC2 is required for Wnt/β-catenin-mediated repression of chondrogenesis in the embryonic CM. We find that β-catenin can physically interact with PRC2 components in the CM in vivo. However, upon genetic deletion of Enhancer of Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), the catalytic component of PRC2, chondrogenesis remains repressed and the bone and dermis cell fate is preserved in the CM. Furthermore, loss of β-catenin does not alter either the H3K27me3 enrichment levels genome-wide or on cartilage differentiation determinants, including Sox9. Our results indicate that EZH2 is not required to repress chondrogenesis in the CM downstream of Wnt/β-catenin signaling.
Optimizing the use of anti VEGF targeted therapies in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: review of literature
Authors: Hopirtean Claudiu , Nagy Viorica
Published: December 2017

Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequent forms of cancer both in men and women, and patients with metastatic disease are now being exposed to an increasing number of therapeutic agents to improve the survival outcomes.Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has o key role in the tumor growth and spreading. The approval of 4 agents that target angiogenic pathways in combination with standard chemotherapy improve overall and progression free survival and offer many opportunities to sequencing the treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).However, the most effective strategy for the use of these agents remains unclear. This article presents an overview of the actual evidence for the use of agents that target angiogenesis in the treatment of mCRC.
Comparison Study of the Effects of a Story-based Video Instructional Package Versus a Text-based Instructional Package in the Intermediate-level Foreign Language Classroom
Authors: Herron Carol , York Holly , Corrie Cathleen , Cole Steven
Published: December 2017

This study compared a story-based video instructional package, with a feature-length film as its focus, to a text-based program. It explored the effectiveness of each approach to enhance the listening and grammar performances of intermediate-level college French students. Twenty-seven students at two institutions participated. A pretest-posttest design assessed long-term gains in listening performance and grammar performance. Results indicated that students significantly improved their listening skills and grammar knowledge when exposed to the story-based video package. For the text-based group, students did not significantly improve in listening, but they significantly improved in grammar. For grammar only, the increase in mean scores for the video-based group was significantly higher than the increase in mean scores for the text-based group. The video-based curriculum used a narrative approach to teach grammar and foster listening. Results support using a film with an engaging storyline and with embedded targeted structures as effective input to enhance linguistic performance.

Burnout and depressive symptoms in intensive care nurses: relationship analysis
Authors: Vasconcelos Eduardo Motta de , Martino Milva Maria Figueiredo De , França Salomão Patrício de Souza
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the existence of a relationship between burnout and depressive symptoms among intensive care unit nursing staff. Method: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study with 91 intensive care nurses. Data collection used a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory - Human Services Survey, and the Beck Depression Inventory - I. The Pearson test verified the correlation between the burnout dimension score and the total score from the Beck Depression Inventory. Fisher's exact test was used to analyze whether there is an association between the diseases. Results: Burnout was presented by 14.29% of the nurses and 10.98% had symptoms of depression. The higher the level of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, and the lower professional accomplishment, the greater the depressive symptoms. The association was significant between burnout and depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Nurses with burnout have a greater possibility of triggering depressive symptoms.
Impact of critical illness news on the family: hermeneutic phenomenological study
Authors: Mendes Anabela Pereira
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: Understand the impact of critical-illness news on the experience of family members at an Intensive Care Unit. Method: Phenomenological approach according to Van Manen's method. Open interviews were held with 21 family members. From analysis and interpretation of the data, three essential themes were identified: the unexpected; the pronouncement of death; and the impact on self-caring within the family. The study complied with the ethical principles inherent to research involving humans. Results: The unexpected news and death of the sick person influence the well-being and self-care of family members, affecting their ability for analysis and decision making. It was observed that the family experiences the news with suffering, mainly due to the anticipation arising from the events. Final considerations: The humanity of nurses was revealed in response to the needs of the family. In view of the requirements for information, it was verified that the information transmitted allowed them to become aware of themselves, to become empowered in their daily lives and to alleviate the emotional burden experienced.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the available evidence in the literature on health-related quality of life in adults with sickle cell disease. Method: integrative review of MEDLINE, CUMED, LILACS and SciELO databases, from articles developed in this area, published between 2005 and 2015, in English, Portuguese or Spanish. Results: 22 articles were included, six scales were used to evaluate health-related quality of life scores: three generic and three specific. No specific scale for adults with sickle cell disease has been adapted to Brazilian Portuguese so far. Patients affected by frequent painful crises, with low adherence to treatment, had a compromised quality of life. Conclusion: Selected studies have shown that patients with sickle cell disease have worse scores than the general population. These indicators should be instrumental to the nurse in the proposal of interventions and strategies of assistance and socio-educational, with a view to improving the quality of life of this clientele.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: To measure the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression of nurses working in ICUs, relating them to levels of attention before and after 24 hours. Method: An observational, quantitative, analytical study with 18 nurses undergoing an inventory of stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as assessment of attention levels and psychomotor functioning. Results: Sixty-one percent showed positive for stress. Depression was observed in 33%; and anxiety in 99.9%. A strong correlation between stress and depression (ρ = 0.564 with p <0.05) and anxiety (ρ = 1 with p <0.05) was observed. There was a weak correlation between stress and task execution time in M2 (ρ = 0.055) for TMT A, a fact that did not occur in M0 (ρ = -0.249). Conclusion: The study shows that the workload of the nurses working in 24-hour shifts in the ICU is correlated with high levels of stress, decreases in the attention process, and psychomotor decline.

ABSTRACT Objective: To synthesize and interpret findings and conclusions of qualitative research addressing the experience of the father in the care of the child with cancer. Method: Meta-synthesis of 16 qualitative studies from six databases, analyzed through taxonomic analysis. Results: Child and adolescent cancer have several repercussions on the daily life of the father, especially related to the stigma around the disease, the fear of the unknown and the social and family role. Faced with the illness and the need to care for the child, the father seeks to recover normality in the family and transitions between hegemonic masculine behaviors and practices culturally recognized as female. Final Considerations: The complex experience of the father, influenced by masculinities, was evidenced. The limitations regard the restricted understanding of the contextual specificities of the experiences, due to the limited characteristics of the parents and children described in the studies. The knowledge produced is useful to promote involvement of fathers in the care of the child, as well as to strengthen and assist him in this task.
Association and mycorrhizal dependency in Jatropha curcas L. seedlings under salt stress
Authors: Oliveira Dilliani Felipe Barros de , Endres Lauricio , Silva José Vieira , Barros Juliany Mayra Teixeira de Moura , Santos Andréa Francisca da Silva , Gonzaga Elmadã Pereira
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT The cultivation of Jatropha curcas L. for biodiesel production is possible in salinized areas; however, biomass production is limited in these soils. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are a promising alternative for bioremediation in salinized soils. Yet, salinity also affects the AMF at the time of colonization and, in this case, the symbiosis is not always established. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test the hypotheses that three AMF species commonly found in saline soils are associated with J. curcas and if seedlings previously inoculated with these AMF are more tolerant to salt stress. Two trials were performed: the first one was carried out in a completely randomized design with five treatments (control, Rhizophagus intraradices, Gigaspora albida, Claroideoglomus etunicatum, and the three species together) and six repetitions to investigate the formation of symbiosis among species; and the second trial was carried out in randomized blocks in a 4 × 2 factorial scheme (2, 5, 8, and 10 dS m-1, with and without mycorrhizae) with eight repetitions to verify the development and mycorrhizal dependency (MD) of the seedlings previously inoculated, in salinized environment. The three species of AMF are associated with J. curcas both alone and together. Mycorrhizal dependency increased with salinity, indicating that J. curcas is a facultative species. The pre-colonized seedlings with AMF are an alternative to the establishment of J. curcas in salinized soils.
¿Hegel filósofo de la diferencia? Reflexiones sobre la concepción hegeliana de la identidad 1
Authors: Morales Camilo Andrés
Published: December 2017

RESUMEN La filosofía hegeliana en general, y en particular la “Ciencia de la lógica” y el tratamiento que en esta se hace sobre nociones como las de identidad y diferencia, generaron desde el momento mismo en que vio la luz, un sinnúmero de posiciones críticas tales como las de Schelling, los hegelianos de izquierda y, en general, de todos aquellos filósofos que, en virtud de las posibles implicaciones prácticas de una filosofía de la identidad buscaron “expurgar la semilla del dragón del panteísmo hegeliano”, entre las cuales es necesario mencionar la legitimación de estados totalitarios y los genocidios asociados a ellos. Esta búsqueda, fue realizada sobre la afirmación de que el pensamiento hegeliano, al estar soportado sobre la identidad (absoluto, estado, etc.), implica una negación y, por tanto, aniquilación y reducción de la diferencia. En este sentido, el presente artículo busca examinar la noción hegeliana de la identidad, la correspondencia o no de las críticas que sobre el particular se han hecho sobre Hegel y, finalmente, analizar una de las salidas que, desde las interpretaciones hegelianas más recientes, se han hecho para responder a las críticas: la filosofía hegeliana in stricto sensu, una filosofía de la diferencia.
Iconografia atomística e o papel da imagem segundo gaston bachelard
Authors: Queiroz Lídia
Published: December 2017

Resumo Este artigo pretende avaliar o papel da imagem na história do atomismo e sua relação com a ideia da visualização do invisível da matéria, com enfoque nas perspectivas epistemológicas de Gaston Bachelard. As origens do atomismo estão ligadas à visão, mas é somente no final do século XVI que a iconografia atomística surge. No artigo, a autora procura evidenciar a tentação humana para o “reino das imagens”: (1) começando por explanar a importância da “metafísica da poeira” (segundo Bachelard, a poeira conferiu uma imagética fundadora à tese atomística); (2) fazendo notar que o termo “átomo” designou entidades diversas e ressaltando a importância conferida à geometria nas concepções atomísticas, tão presente ao longo da história do atomismo filosófico; (3) tecendo considerações sobre uma das primeiras imagens do átomo - Area Democriti, de Giordano Bruno; (4) colocando em destaque a problemática da imagem no atomismo contemporâneo e do seu radical abstracionismo; (5) explorando o paradoxo da utilidade das imagens a partir de várias obras bachelardianas; (6) mostrando que Bachelard não parece tomar a noção de imagem em sentido lato e que distinguir imagens de não-imagens é supor que ela tenha uma essência e classificação estável; e, por fim, (7) apontando para o fato de cada vez mais a filosofia da ciência tentar apurar qual a função que a iconografia pode ter na criação científica e na transmissão de conhecimento.
TEORIA POLÍTICA NORMATIVA E JUSTIÇA RAWLSIANA
Authors: Vita Álvaro de
Published: December 2017

Resumo Este artigo tem o propósito de examinar certo modo de praticar a teoria política, característico da perspectiva teórica que pode ser denominada, em termos amplos, “justiça rawlsiana”. Em primeiro passo, e valendo-se de um termo cunhado por Ian Shapiro, sustenta-se que a teoria política normativa de matriz rawlsiana é essencialmente “orientada por problemas”. Examinam-se, a seguir, três problemas controversos que exemplificam essa característica metodológica: como conceber o cultivo e fortalecimento do senso de justiça dos cidadãos de uma sociedade democrática; a métrica normativa apropriada à justiça social; e a questão do suposto excesso de idealismo da teoria política normativa de orientação rawlsiana. A ideia é tanto explicitar certo modo de praticar a teoria política como evidenciar os recursos que a justiça rawlsiana tem para enfrentar, de seu próprio ponto de vista, objeções que lhe são feitas nessas três áreas de discussão pública e teórica.

Authors: Vitorino Santuzza Arreguy Silva , Cruz Marly Marques da , Barros Denise Cavalcante de
Published: December 2017

Resumo: É objetivo deste trabalho descrever as etapas de desenvolvimento e os resultados do processo de validação do modelo lógico teórico da vigilância alimentar e nutricional na atenção primária à saúde (APS). Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e exploratório, no qual foram envolvidos vinte especialistas em alimentação e nutrição, incluindo pesquisadores, gestores, profissionais de saúde e usuários, por meio de uma técnica de consenso, realizada em duas rodadas. Nelas, os participantes classificaram os componentes estruturais necessários para a realização da vigilância alimentar e nutricional e seus respectivos resultados esperados segundo a pertinência e a relevância. Os itens foram consensuados quando alcançaram mais de 80% de concordância entre os participantes, confirmados pela análise da mediana e do intervalo entre o primeiro e o terceiro quartis. Os resultados refletem o conteúdo validado das matrizes organizadas segundo quatro componentes técnicos: planejamento estratégico, planejamento administrativo, gestão e organização das práticas, monitoramento e avaliação. A estrutura e os processos necessários para a realização das ações de vigilância alimentar e nutricional na APS, bem como os resultados esperados em curto, médio e longo prazos, foram descritos no modelo lógico teórico. A validação da teoria de funcionamento da intervenção cumpriu o seu objetivo de aumentar a validade de conteúdo do constructo e dar suporte à generalização analítica do método de estudos de caso, estratégia adotada para avaliar a implantação da vigilância alimentar e nutricional em um dado contexto, além de criar espaço para o diálogo entre a teoria e sua crítica ao envolver diferentes interessados no processo avaliativo e oportunizar uma ferramenta útil para a gestão.
La violencia juvenil contra emos: análisis etnográfico de su persecución en la Ciudad de México
Authors: Hernández-Rosete Daniel
Published: December 2017

El objetivo de este artículo es describir las creencias que han alimentado el odio y las prácticas de violencia, ejercida por diversos sectores, contra varones y mujeres que se identifican a sí mismos como emos en la Ciudad de México. Se trata de un estudio etnográfico, realizado entre 2012 y 2015, apoyado en 24 entrevistas en profundidad a jóvenes estudiantes que en 2008 cursaban algún grado de bachillerato en universidades públicas en la Ciudad de México. Se privilegia la narrativa de los emos (10); sin embargo, se exploraron también los relatos de jóvenes que se consideran punks (6), darks (5) y metaleros (3). Los hallazgos sugieren que las agresiones contra emos tienen un fuerte arraigo en creencias de género, particularmente en la noción de masculinidad hegemónica. Destaca el hecho de que no sólo provienen de colectivos juveniles, también aparece la vida familiar y escolar como contextos de violencia naturalizada y construida como legítima por su vínculo con la noción de disciplina escolar. Las estrategias utilizadas por estos jóvenes para resistir la violencia sugieren posicionamientos reflexivos frente a su contexto histórico, escolar y familiar. Aunque como colectivo lograron colocar su exigencia del derecho a la educación y a la diversidad en aulas universitarias, se advierte la necesidad de diseñar políticas de prevención de violencia, particularmente en contextos escolares universitarios.

Entre 2008 e 2013, mais de 99% dos municípios possuíam indivíduos) cadastrados) e acompanhados) no sistema e as maiores frequências e variações totais de cobertura foram alcançadas no Nordeste e Norte. A cobertura nacional variou de 9,78% a 14,92%, com tendência estatisticamente significativa de aumento. O maior volume de informações advém de crianças e adolescentes. A participação do Programa Bolsa Família no SISVAN passou de 57,17% para 85,78% dos dados. O Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal e o Produto Interno Bruto per capita das UF mostraram-se inversamente correlacionados à cobertura, e as equipes de saúde da família, positivamente. Os resultados apontam para uma cobertura ainda baixa para um sistema que se pretende universal. Observa-se aumento significativo da cobertura no período e desvelam-se fatores relacionados a esse aumento.

This study aimed to assess the dimensional structure, reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and scalability of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The sample consisted of 1,447 pregnant women in São Luís (Maranhão State) and 1,400 in Ribeirão Preto (São Paulo State), Brazil. The 14 and 10-item versions of the scale were assessed using confirmatory factor analysis, using weighted least squares means and variance (WLSMV). In both cities, the two-factor models (positive factors, measuring resilience to stressful situations, and negative factors, measuring stressful situations) showed better fit than the single-factor models. The two-factor models for the complete (PSS14) and reduced scale (PSS10) showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha ≥ 0.70). All the factor loadings were ≥ 0.50, except for items 8 and 12 of the negative dimension and item 13 of the positive dimension. The correlations between both dimensions of stress and psychological violence showed the expected magnitude (0.46-0.59), providing evidence of an adequate convergent construct validity. The correlations between the scales’ positive and negative dimensions were around 0.74-0.78, less than 0.85, which suggests adequate discriminant validity. Extracted mean variance and scalability were slightly higher for PSS10 than for PSS14. The results were consistent in both cities. In conclusion, the single-factor solution is not recommended for assessing stress in pregnant women. The reduced, 10-item two-factor scale appears to be more appropriate for measuring perceived stress in pregnant women.

Resumo O estudo dos fatores temporais na flutuação populacional dos besouros é de fundamental importância para a compreensão da variação que ocorre em sua população. Assim, analisou-se relação entre tempo e flutuação populacional de coleópteros em Mata de Cocal no município de Teresina-PI no período de agosto de 2011 a julho de 2012. Coletaram-se besouros semanalmente em 12 armadilhas pitfall sem atrativos. Confirma-se correlação canônica entre o conjunto de registro de ocorrência mensal da flutuação populacional das famílias Scarabaeidae, Carabidae, Tenebrionidae, Curculionidae, Bolboceratidae, Histeridae e Chrysomelidae e o conjunto de dados mensais de insolação, de precipitação pluviométrica, da umidade relativa do ar e da temperatura média, com magnitude de 0,99, Qui-Quadrado igual a 66,62, com 28 graus de liberdade e o correspondente p-valor igual a < 0,0001. Significativamente (p < 0,0001), houve correlação canônica positiva entre os dados da insolação (0,81) e da precipitação pluviométrica (0,45), e negativa da umidade (-0,75) e da temperatura (-0,21) ao conjunto dos registros de ocorrência mensal da flutuação populacional de famílias de coleópteros. Deste modo, a flutuação populacional da comunidade de besouros é regida predominantemente pelas variáveis temporais da região em que se encontram e que a sua presença é estacional e condicionada por parâmetros meteorológicos, principalmente insolação e umidade relativa do ar.

Resumo Esse trabalho tem como objetivo realizar previsões de séries temporais da velocidade do vento em termos de médias mensais no nordeste brasileiro. Foram testados os seguintes modelos de séries temporais, Auto-Regressivo Integrado de Médias Móveis (ARIMA) e Holt–Winters (HW), e também inteligência artificial computacional com o uso de Redes Neurais Artificiais (RNA). E ainda foram testados dois modelos híbridos, o primeiro com combinação dos modelos ARIMA e RNA, o qual existem trabalhos na literatura, e o segundo trata-se de uma tentativa de combinação dos modelos HW e RNA. As séries ajustadas obtidas pelos modelos híbridos, mostram-se eficientes em acompanhar o perfil das séries observadas das regiões de estudo, com semelhanças aos dados observados em termos de máximos e mínimos, indicando assim, a capacidade dos modelos em representar sazonalidades. O cálculo da estatística de erros envolvendo o modelo híbrido (HW e RNA) obteve os menores valores em Fortaleza, São Luís e Natal, por exemplo, com valores de erros percentuais de 3,80%, 4,91% e 2,85%, respectivamente. A redução das variáveis da estatística de erros por parte dos modelos híbridos quando comparado separadamente a utilização dos modelos (ARIMA, HW e RNA) poderá influenciar nas precisões das velocidades dos ventos previstas.

Abstract Modeling by multiple enchained imputation is an area of growing importance. However, its models and methods are frequently developed for specific applications. In this study the model for multiple imputation was used to estimate daily rainfall data. Daily precipitation records from several meteorological stations were used, obtained from system AGRITEMPO for two homogenous climatic zones. The precipitation values obtained for two dates (Jan. 20th 2005 and May 2nd 2005) using the multiple imputation model were compared with geo-statistics techniques ordinary Kriging and Co-kriging with the altitude as an auxiliary variable. The multiple imputation model was 16% better for the first zone and over 23% for the second one, compared to the rainfall estimation obtained by geo-statistical techniques. The model proved to be a versatile technique, presenting coherent results with the conditions of different zones and times.

Abstract This trial evaluated the preemptive and postoperative effect of dexamethasone and ibuprofen on prevention of pain/discomfort, edema and interference in daily life in patients undergoing root coverage combined with subepithelial connective tissue graft (CAF + CTG). Twenty patients were randomly assigned as follows: NSAID Group: 400mg Ibuprofen 60 min preemptive + 400mg Ibuprofen postoperative; or SAID Group: 4mg Dexamethasone 60 min preemptive + 4mg Dexamethasone postoperative. The postoperative medication was administered 8 and 16 h post-surgery. Each patient received questionnaires based on a numeric scale (101-point numeric scale rate [NRS-101]) and multiple choice questions (four-point verbal rating scale [VRS-4]) about trans-operative pain/discomfort, hourly for 8 h after surgery and once a day for three days. A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for edema and interference in daily life during the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th day was also answered. The degree of anxiety was rated statistically by the Chi-square test. The Mann-Whitney and Friedman tests were used for the other questionnaires. The surgery time and number of analgesic pills consumed were compared using Student’s t-test. Patients who used dexamethasone presented a trend toward less pain when compared to individuals who ingested ibuprofen, with a significant difference observed 3 h after the procedure (p<0.05). The use of dexamethasone also promoted less edema until the 2nd day and lower interference in daily life on the third day when compared with ibuprofen (p<0.05). We concluded that the use of dexamethasone as a preemptive and postoperative medication was more suitable as a drug therapeutic protocol for CAF + CTG.
