Published: September 2017

O segmento do Turismo Rural no Brasil ganha força no século XXI a fim de atender as expectativas dos homens urbano e do campo proporcionando a revalorização do modo de vida simples e o surgimento de novas funções econômicas, sociais e ambientais no espaço rural. A legislação brasileira aplicável ao Turismo Rural, relativos às legislações fiscal, tributária, trabalhista, sanitária e previdenciária, bem como uma lei federal e leis estaduais que regulem a atividade, sempre foram um grande entreve ao seu desenvolvimento. Assim, objetivou-se realizar uma análise histórica do avanço da legislação brasileira a níveis federal e estadual aplicável ao segmento Turismo Rural no século XXI através de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Percebeu-se um avanço da legislação estadual aplicada ao Turismo Rural com proposições de projetos-lei e a promulgação de outras, as quais, dentre outras, apresentem seus objetivos, as competências governamentais e a definições de linhas de apoio financeiro e administrativo para incentivo a atividade. A nível federal o maior avanço foi a Lei 13.171/2015, o qual se torna um marco jurídico a atividade, permitindo seu fortalecimento no Brasil.
TRATAMENTO DE FERIDAS CUTÂNEAS DESENVOLVIDAS EM RATOS WISTAR ATRAVÉS DA UTILIZAÇÃO DOS EXTRATOS DE MARACUJÁ (PASSIFLORA EDULIS)
Authors: Gonçalves Chirlaine Cristine , Almeida Francisco de Assis Cardoso , Almeida Isabella Barros
Published: September 2017

A pele é o maior órgão do corpo, e corresponde a aproximadamente 10% do peso corporal. A lesão da pele, ou ferida, pode atingir desde a epiderme, até as estruturas mais profundas e, aproximadamente, 30% da população adulta apresentará lesão cutânea aguda e precisará utilizar algum dispositivo na lesão. Dentre os fitoterápicos utilizados no Brasil, a Passiflora edulis (maracujá amarelo) destaca-se por já possuir efeitos positivos na população. Assim, o objetivo da presente pesquisa foi: Desenvolver o extrato hidroalcóolico vegetal das folhas de passiflora edulis a 100% e a 50%. Testar o efeito positivo do extrato sobre cepas de Staphylococcus aureus. Estudar a eficácia do extrato em relação a outros métodos de cicatrização de feridas cutâneas em ratos Wistar. Os resultados permitem concluir que o uso tópico do extrato de Passiflora edulis apresentou um efeito significativo na cicatrização da pele de ratos em relação à área lesionada, sendo o extrato a 100%, o que obteve melhores resultados. Observou-se também que, o uso tópico do extrato associou-se diversos fatores que sugerem efeito benéfico do processo cicatricial, interferindo na celularidade, moderando a reação inflamatória, a qual favoreceu a aceleração da cicatrização em ambas as fases (aguda e crônica).
O EMPREGO DE CORTICOTERAPIA DE USO SISTÊMICO NO PERÍODO INFANTO JUVENIL: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Almeida André Luiz Barros , Nunes Franklin Augusto de Araújo , Albuquerque Esther Maria Barros de
Published: September 2017

Os glicocorticoides sintéticos são substâncias produzidas a partir do hormônio cortisol e apresentam uma variedade de possibilidades para o tratamento de doenças reumáticas, dermatológicas, imunológicas e outras. Porém, se administrados de forma desnecessária e exagerada, pode apresentar efeitos colaterais indesejáveis. Nos últimos anos, verificamos uma maior recorrência na escolha da corticoterapia, pelos médicos e pacientes. Por esse motivo, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar o emprego da corticoterapia de uso sistêmico no período infanto juvenil, através de uma reflexão sobre quais as abordagens que o médico deve levar em consideração ao optar pela corticoterapia sistêmica e quais são os principais efeitos colaterais causados em pacientes pediátricos. Para tanto, a presente pesquisa se apoia nos aportes teórico-metodológicos de Freitas (2007) e Pereira (2014), reconhecendo a importância do tratamento e controle de inúmeras patologias com a droga corticosteroide, mas também, a necessidade em se adotar posturas pré-corticoterapia e pós-corticoterapia com o seguimento clínico do paciente durante e após o tratamento. Sendo assim, o médico deve estar familiarizado com a farmacologia e a administração dos efeitos colaterais dos corticoides, para que possa realizar a intervenção medicamentosa de forma mais benéfica ao seu paciente. Dessa forma, conclui-se que decidir qual o melhor tratamento para uma patologia específica é uma das tarefas mais difíceis para o médico pediatra, que deve escolher pela corticoterapia de uso sistêmico no período infanto-juvenil de forma residual, e não como prioridade, levando sempre em consideração os riscos e benefícios que podem gerar no organismo das crianças e adolescentes.
A POLÍTICA LEGISLATIVA E A PROTEÇÃO À PARTICIPAÇÃO POLÍTICA DA MULHER NO BRASIL: UMA INTERPRETAÇÃO HISTÓRICA DE PROCESSOS LEGISLATIVOS
Authors: Pimentel Filho José Ernesto , Rodrigues Mariana Ramos
Published: September 2017

Existe enorme defasagem entre o número de mulheres e de homens que ocupam cargos políticos no Brasil. De fato, as leis 9100/95, 9.504/97 e 12.034/09 trazem proteção política que objetiva proporcionar maior participação política das mulheres e visibilidade destas dentro dos parlamentos. As duas primeiras leis preveem reserva de vagas para mulheres candidatas em partidos políticos e coligações. Contudo, o texto das referidas leis trazem proteção meramente formal, tendo em vista que na prática isto não ocorreu a contento. Já a lei 12.034/09, além de modificar a redação dada à norma que estabelece cotas, traz dois importantes dispositivos que dão uma maior visibilidade às mulheres na política brasileira, como aspectos relacionados à propaganda eleitoral gratuita, bem como a destinação dos recursos oriundos do fundo partidário. Objetiva-se uma análise acerca da interpretação do texto normativo das leis 9.504/97 e 12.034/09, que modificou a lei 9.034/97, bem como a influência do texto normativo dessas leis em seu desempenho de eficácia, não deixando de destacar as questões históricas e momentos mais significativos do processo legislativo dessas leis, como forma de compreender melhor os problemas inerentes à ineficácia da chamada Lei de Cotas para Mulheres. Além de detectar a importância da participação política feminina. Neste trabalho, a metodologia aplicada pauta-se na história do processo legislativo e na hermenêutica histórica da lei. Procede-se uma análise dos textos normativos das respectivas leis, bem como de seus processos legislativos enquanto elementos que influenciam na ineficácia dessa proteção jurídica aos direitos políticos da mulher. A base teórica interpretativa fundamenta-se nas referências brasileiras para Women’s Studies e nos Direitos Humanos. A participação política das mulheres ainda é muito pequena porque, ao passo que são criadas leis de inclusão à mulher, deveriam ser criadas sanções quanto ao descumprimento dessas leis, bem como uma maior fiscalização pelo seu cumprimento. Vê-se que a participação de deputadas e senadoras foi fundamental para que essas e outras leis de proteção às mulheres fossem criadas.

Oxidase Catalysis via Aerobically Generated Hypervalent Iodine Intermediates
Authors: Maity Asim , Hyun Sung-Min , Powers David
Published: September 2017

Development of sustainable oxidation chemistry demands strategies to harness O2 as a terminal oxidant. In particular, oxidase catalysis, in which O2 serves as a chemical oxidant without necessitating oxygen incorporation into reaction products, would allow diverse substrate functionalization chemistry to be coupled to O2 reduction. Direct O2 utilization must overcome the intrinsic challenges imposed by the triplet ground state of O2 and the disparate electron inventories of four-electron O2 reduction and two-electron substrate oxidation. Here, we generate hypervalent iodine reagents, a broadly useful class of selective two-electron oxidants, from O2. Synthesis of these oxidants is achieved by intercepting reactive intermediates of aldehyde autoxidation. The use of aryl iodides as mediators of aerobic oxidation underpins an oxidase catalysis platform that couples a broad array of substrate oxidations to O2 reduction, including olefin functionalization chemistry, carbonyl a-oxidation, oxidative dearomatization, and aerobic C–H amination chemistry.

Dissertation 101: A Research and Writing Intervention for Education Graduate Students
Authors: Switzer Anne , Perdue Sherry Wynn
Published: September 2017

The vast breadth of information sources available in the field of education and the dearth of institutional resources for native graduate writers have left many graduate students overwhelmed, struggling to conduct an exhaustive review of the literature and to compose their literature reviews. To remedy this concern, collaboration between library and writing center faculty resulted in Dissertation 101, a seminar designed for graduate education students who are about to commence research for this high-stakes document. Bolstering the connections between academic librarians, writing center faculty, and graduate students has proven effective in refining the information seeking, evaluation, and synthesis skills of graduate education students. The seminar, now in its second year, is presented as a model intervention, a first step toward greater institutional accountability for graduate student writers.

Resources on the Net: Current Challenges to Public Education and Public Libraries and Responses from Academic Libraries
Authors: Bober Chris
Published: September 2017

The idea for the present theme originated from an upcoming Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) Librarians Conference called Contested Terrain: Shaping the Future of Academic Librarianship. The conference, to be held in Ottawa on October 26 and 27, 2012, will look at ways that academic libraries can withstand and fight back against efforts to marginalize our profession and devalue our libraries. This review of recently published web literature begins with a look at the underlying issues as to why privatization has become a burning issue in both the public education system and public libraries. There are lessons to be learned here by academic libraries that are now faced with similar challenges. Within this climate of uncertainty, academic libraries have begun to respond by demonstrating value to their stakeholders. [...]
Beyond a Fad: Why Video Games Should Be Part of 21st Century Libraries
Authors: Buchanan Kym , Vanden Elzen Angela M.
Published: September 2017

We believe video games have a place in libraries. We start by describing two provocative video games. Next, we offer a framework for the general mission of libraries, including access, motivation, and guidance. As a medium, video games have some distinguishing traits: they are visual, interactive, and based on simulations. We explain how these traits require and reward some traditional and new literacies. Furthermore, people play video games for at least three reasons: immersion, challenge, and connection. Finally, we offer guidelines and examples for how librarians can integrate video games into library collections and programming.

Published: September 2017

Transforming space to facilitate and compliment learning has become an integral component in the redesign and renovation of academic libraries. This article offers a framework of discussion based on the redesign and renovation of the existing curriculum materials center at East Carolina University Joyner Library. The curriculum materials center, better known as the Teaching Resources Center (TRC), is housed on the second floor of the four-story academic library. The TRC utilizes more than 17,800 square footage of the academic library. Planning, budgeting, implementation, promotion and assessment are discussed highlighting specific details of value in consideration when redesigning and renovating space in a curriculum materials center.

Resources on the Net: Digital Special Collections and Tools for Locating and Evaluating Them
Authors: Bober Chris
Published: September 2017

Inspiration for the theme of this annotated bibliography can be attributed in part to the pomp and ceremony that preceded the launch of the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) on April 18, 2013. In the eyes of its founders, the DPLA “brings together the riches of America’s libraries, archives, and museums, and makes them freely available to the world. It strives to contain the full breadth of human expression, from the written word, to works of art and culture, to records of America’s heritage, to the efforts and data of science.” The DPLA platform provides links to content from library collections located throughout the country and aggregates their metadata.

Editorial: Ethnography
Authors: Snider Jacqueline
Published: September 2017

What makes a population or group tick; how do we reach them? I came across two articles on homeless women in Chicago by T.J. Luhrmann (2008, 2010), an anthropologist from Stanford. Luhrmann’s research focuses on why some homeless women refuse housing. One way to get off the streets is to agree to a psychological examination. Many homeless women refuse even though they exhibit behaviors associated with mental illness. [...]
Library Outreach: Introducing Campus Childcare Providers to the Academic Library
Authors: Maxwell Edwards Melissa , Thornton Elaine
Published: September 2017

This case study describes a library outreach effort to university staff members employed by the campus child care center. Authors planned an instructional session to introduce child care staff members to library resources, focusing on the curriculum collection as a source of supplemental materials for classrooms. Surveys were administered before and after the workshop to gauge changes in participants' awareness of library resources and comfort level using the library. Results based on descriptive statistics and qualitative data indicated a significant increase in participants’ awareness of and comfort using campus library resources and services. The authors encourage similar efforts within other academic communities and provide examples of potential partnerships.

The SLA/Education Division: Beginnings and Early Days
Authors: Missar Charles D.
Published: September 2017

During the SLA annual conference in Boston in June 1972, a group of education librarians met informally to discuss the possibility of forming a separate section in the Social Science Division. There had been an Education and Library Service Section started in 1948, but it dissolved in 1955. Then, 17 years later Barbara Marks of New York University sensed renewed interest on the part of a number of librarians. [...]

Authors: Khan Qaisar Maqbool , Kauser Rehana , Abbas Ulfat
Published: September 2017

This research focuses and examines the association among profitability of banks, along with bank specific and macroeconomic factors of Pakistan. With the help of financial data of thirty-two Pakistani banks over the period of 2011-2015. Pooled OLS (POLS)/Random Effect, Breusch and Pagan Lagrangian Multiplier Test for Random Effects estimations and Hausman Test for Fixed vs Random effects estimations used for further empirical analysis and interpretations. Further to explore the relationship of profitability indicator ROA along with Earning per Share (EPS), SIZE, Cash Equivalents, Spread Ratio and Capital Ratio as bank specific (banking/microeconomic indicators), while on the other hand Inflation, Interest Rate and GDP as external macroeconomic factors. Statistical results to this study established confirmation that EPS, SIZE, Capital Ratio and GDP have a significant impact on the ROA of banking sector in Pakistan. The calculated results of the study are of worthy to mutually academics and banking financial policy makers.
Evaluating the Constructive or Destructive Role of PowerPoint in Accounting Education
Authors: Imran Muhammad , Sharif Shumaila , Batool Faryal
Published: September 2017

Objectives:With change in technology teaching methodology also changed and technology penetrates into the class rooms. The most commonly used computer aided teaching methodology in class rooms is PowerPoint presentation. It replaces the traditional method of teaching i.e. whiteboard and marker. This study measure the impact of PowerPoint presentation on student' performance.

Methodology:We choose 282 students studying accounting courses in various universities of Multan, Pakistan. We used SPSS and Microsoft Excel to analyze the data.

Result:We found that PowerPoint has negative impact on the student's performance. But on the other hand, students feel tiresome with traditional method of teaching. Students prefer to take quantitative courses via traditional method, and they prefer to take qualitative courses by PowerPoint presentation.
Information Content of Earnings Managements: Implications on Growth and Value Companies
Authors: Mulyasari Windu , Sugiri Slamet , Herdhayinta Heyvon
Published: September 2017

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the pattern of earnings management on growth and value companies in Indonesia. This study predicts that earnings management has information contents. Therefore, earnings management tends to degrade the quality of earnings, then affect the future profitability. This study analyzes the effect of earnings management information content to the company's future profitability. This study provides an understanding about accounting information at certain market price levels for growth and value companies.

Findings: Findings of this study indicate the differences between earnings management influence on growth and value companies. The results also support the differences of relative incremental information content of earnings management on growth and value companies. The growth firms tend to do earnings management and have higher profitability compared to the value firms. The implication is that the incremental information content of earnings management on growth firms is lower than those of the value firms to predict future profitability.  

Implication: The contribution of this research is to provide an in-depth review on earnings management study associated with company life cycle (growth and value), as well as  to give additional understanding about the existence of incremental information content of earnings management. Thus, firms show different earnings management behaviors and ultimately those behaviors affect the quality of profit to predict future earnings
Impact of Net Stable Funding Ratio Regulations on Net Interest Margin: A Multi-Country Comparative Analysis
Authors: Kausar Rehana , Mahmood Zeeshan , Abbas Ulfat
Published: September 2017

We empirically investigate the impact of liquidity framework proposed under Basel III, namely Net Stable Funding Ratio on Net Interest Margin for 385 banks in SAARC countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) along with five developed countries i.e. Australia, Canada, China, Japan and United State over 2003-2013. The NSFR in Basel III liquidity necessity intended to limit funding risk emerging from maturity conflicts between assets and liabilities of overall countries. The results indicate that there is also a gap between developing and developed countries to managing the stability of their funding source as well as liquidity of its assets is a benefit to them and is also transformed into net interest margin by comparison of developing and developed countries. In addition, this study also proved the findings of previous researches in developed countries that are relevant to bank determinants and net interest margin in the world.
Stress and velocity fields in glaciers: Part II. Sliding and basal stress distribution
Authors: Blatter Heinz , Clarke Garry K. C. , Colinge Jacques
Published: September 2017

Numerical methods are used to examine the interaction between the spatial distribution of the basal shear traction and the corresponding basal velocity for an inclined slab geometry. In our improved treatment, we reject the common assumption that basal velocity is a simple function of local variables in favour of a non-local treatment that includes normal deviatoric stress and takes basal velocity to be an integrated response to spatially varying influences. Computationally, one must either iterate the basal velocity with a friction parameterization that relates basal shear traction to basal velocity or, alternatively, prescribe the basal shear traction that results from bed decoupling and substrate déformation.

The average of basal shear traction over the entire bed of the ice mass is invariant under changes in sliding distribution and thus constitutes a useful reference; any local relative reduction of traction leads to basal movement, either sliding over the bed or moving with a deforming subglacial layer. The local stress réduction is accompanied by a concentration of traction up-and down-glacier of the moving base. Growth, decay and possible migration of basal stress concentrations may be closely related to short-lived sliding events and to surges.
