Several Words on Fragments from Earlier Book Collections in the Library of the Monastery of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin in Roudnice nad Labem
Authors: Šípek Richard
Published: August 2018

The monastery of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin was founded in Roudnice by members of the Roudnice branch of the Lobkowicz family at the beginning of the 17th century, when also its library was established. With its approximately 1,800 volumes, it ranks among smaller, unexplored monastic libraries. Nevertheless, it contains a number of interesting and valuable fragments of earlier private book collections, coming from early modern aristocratic libraries as well as libraries of clergymen from nearby parishes. This article presents the most important of them. Particular attention is devoted to the fragment of the library of Ladislav Zejdlic of Schönfeld, originally placed at Encovany Castle in North Bohemia, and to book donations by members of the Roudnice branch of the Lobkowicz family, the main sponsors of the monastery.
Hybride Zeiten
Authors: Kiening Christian
Published: August 2018

Not only the postmodern era is characterized by manifold, contradictory, and hybrid temporalities. Earlier epochs were already marked by temporal and medial pluralities. Examining these pluralities expands both our knowledge of the past and of the present. The 15th and 16th centuries are particularly suitable for this. This period sees not only spatial expansion, religious diversification and media restructuring. It also sees temporal changes: a growing presence of measured time, rigorous time management, and the formation of a notion of time independent from the Aristotelian tradition. In particular, literature and the arts – in new media forms – explore the whole range of temporal semantics and dynamics, and play their part in pluralizing and hybridizing the idea of time, largely shaped by Christian models of salvation history.
Ikonische Prägnanz von Schrift und die Prägung der Überlieferung
Authors: Malcher Kay
Published: August 2018

Editing Middle High German texts today is led much more by the ventilation of practical necessities than by theoretical consideration. Especially lacking discussions of a basic concept of ›text‹ raises the risk of developing blind spots. The article will try to identify these blind spots as places where the traditional strategy of editing texts on the basis of the faulty-replication model persists. This will be illustrated by new editions of the ›Wunderer‹ and the ›Rosengarten‹. Furthermore, the article evolves a semiotic model of the philological praxis of editing Middle High German heroic epics.
Information needs of financial market professionals in the big data and social media era. The empirical evidence from Poland
Authors: Cwynar Andrzej , Cwynar Wiktor , Pater Robert , Kaźmierkiewicz Piotr
Published: August 2018

To meet general objectives of the article, i.e. to check the extent to which the information needs of financial market institutions are satisfied, and to learn about whether there is a transition in this realm triggered by the advent of social media and big data, we surveyed a sample of 415 financial market professionals working in Poland. We also used logit regression models, through which we processed the survey results, to identify which factors are responsible for meeting the needs. We showed that although the information needs of financial market professionals are met to a large degree, still some potential for improvement remains in this regard. We found also that respondent-specific traits are insignificant in explaining the degree of satisfaction with data and information that is used by financial market professionals. Out of firm-specific characteristic and, the value of assets under the institution’s management turned out to be the key factors explaining the distribution of responses concerning satisfaction.
The influence of the recent financial crisis on the financial situation of Polish listed companies
Authors: Różański Jerzy , Kopczyński Paweł
Published: August 2018

The recent financial crisis that began in 2007, also known as the Global Financial Crisis, had a huge influence on the financial situations of enterprises and financial institutions around the world. The situation on world stock markets was also strongly affected by the crisis. As the behavior of investors may be affected by various factors which can impact their decisions on the stock exchanges, some of them may be unable to act in a rational manner and make the right decisions. The huge drop in share prices on world stock markets was visible in the early stages of the crisis. The share price does not always reflect the real situation of the company. The main purpose of this article is to evaluate the influence of the recent financial crisis on the financial situation and performance of Polish listed companies. Financial ratios will be utilized to evaluate the real changes in the financial situation of Polish listed companies during the crisis. A large group of companies will be covered by the survey in order to assess the impact of macroeconomic factors on the financial situations of enterprises in different phases of the crisis. Market tests will not be applied because they may be affected by changes in share prices which in turn are often affected by irrational decision-making and fear.
A calcite crisis unravelling Early Miocene (Ottnangian) stratigraphy in the North Alpine–Carpathian Foreland Basin: a litho- and chemostratigraphic marker for the Rzehakia Lake System
Authors: Palzer-Khomenko Markus , Wagreich Michael , Knierzinger Wolfgang , Meszar Maria , Gier Susanne , Kallanxhi Mădălina-Elena , Soliman Ali
Published: August 2018

Within the Lower Austrian part of the North Alpine Foreland Basin (NAFB), up to 1000 m of sediments were deposited throughout the Ottnangian (Early Miocene, Burdigalian). According to homogeneous compositions and sparse biostratigraphic resolution, a consistent stratigraphic concept from the basin margins into the foreland depocenter was still lacking. New investigations on several deep drill cores throughout the basin provide comprehensive sedimentological, mineralogical, chemical and micropaleontological data. A calcite poor, fossil- and pyrite-free, smectite-rich, up to 800 m thick interval was identified and correlated to the time interval of the late Ottnangian brackish Rzehakia Lake System. For this section, we introduce the term Calcite Minimum Interval (CMI). We define the onset of the CMI by a sharp decrease of calcite contents and the disappearance of autochthonous (and reworked) calcareous nannofossils. We define the termination of the CMI by the permanent increase of pyrite contents and the reappearance of calcareous nannofossils. The CMI as a litho- and chemostratigraphical marker for the Rzehakia Lake System constitutes a stratigraphic key horizon. Within the NAFB in Lower Austria, its onset corresponds to the middle/upper Ottnangian transition while its termination correlates roughly to the Ottnangian / Karpatian boundary. This allows a precise definition, identification and correlation of (upper) Ottnangian stratigraphic units of the NAFB. For the central basinal parts of the Rzehakia Lake System, we introduce the new lithostratigraphic term Wildendürnbach Formation which correlates to the marginal Traisen Formation.
Usage of ICT in EU Culture Sector as a Tool of Cultural Participation
Authors: Ardielli Eva
Published: August 2018

Culture is not only an inherent part of human life but it also creates the potential for economic growth, employment and innovation. For this reason, the European Union considers the development of culture sector and Cultural and creative industries as very important. Nowadays the culture sector is confronted with the penetration of Information and communication technologies. The widespread use of Internet and Information and communication technologies implies more participatory behaviours on the side of users, who are increasingly involved in cultural activities electronically.

The presented article is focused on the issue of electronic cultural participation in European Union member countries. The aim is to evaluate the usage of Information and communication technologies for cultural purpose. For the purpose of this aim the selected multi-criteria decision-making method MAPPAC is applied. In the result is presented the ranking of European Union member countries according to the participation of citizens in culture through Information and communication technologies. In the research there was confirmed the importance of Information and communication technologies in European Union culture sector. High involvement of individuals in electronic cultural participation is obvious in developed European Union countries; in less developed countries the electronic cultural participation is habitually lower.
Pharmacotherapy of ulcerative colitis – current status and emerging trends
Authors: Ahmad Hilal , Kumar Vijay L.
Published: August 2018

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic mucosal inflammation of the large intestine restricted to the rectum and colon. Its clinical course follows an intermittent pattern with episodes of relapse, followed by remission and eventually resulting in mucosal damage. Although there is no permanent cure for UC, the currently available pharmacotherapy aims to induce and maintain clinical remission, promote the healing of colonic mucosa and avert any surgical intervention. The conventional drug therapy comprising of 5-aminosalicylates, thiopurines and corticosteroids has advanced recently in terms of formulations and dosing schedule, resulting in improved efficacy, safety and compliance. Calcineurin inhibitors, such as cyclosporin and tacrolimus, have emerged as steroid sparing agents. The treatment paradigm of UC patients who are refractory to conventional drugs has changed in view of the availability of biologics. Currently, there are four biologics approved by the US FDA for the treatment of UC, namely, infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab and vedolizumab, and several others are undergoing clinical trial. In this comprehensive review, the advantages and limitations of the medical therapy of UC are elaborated with an emphasis on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic aspects of the drugs.

Authors: Zheng M. , Shuai M. , Yu J.
Published: August 2018

The influence of deformation on electrochemical properties of Q235 steel is studied. The uni-axial tension of the steel is conducted on universal testing machine to get a series of strain, 0.07%, 6%, 11% and 24%, respectively. The deformation process for strain of 0.07% is controlled by load, and the others are controlled by displacement correspondingly. Afterward, the tests of potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are conducted for the deformed steel in 0.01 mol.dm−3 NaCl solution. The results showed that plastic deformation leads to crystalline grains refine and elongate, and crystalline boundary increases, it induces more corrosive possibility and lower corrosive resistance; the corrosion potential of Q235 steel becomes more negative with the increase of deformation amount, and the corrosion current density increases with the amount of deformation; the corrosion resistance decrease with the increase of deformation seriously.
On certain functional equations related to Jordan *-derivations in semiprime *-rings and standard operator algebras

The purpose of this paper is to investigate identities with Jordan *-derivations in semiprime *-rings. Let ℛ be a 2-torsion free semiprime *-ring. In this paper it has been shown that, if ℛ admits an additive mapping D : ℛ→ℛsatisfying either D(xyx) = D(xy)x*
+ xyD(x) for all x,y ∈ ℛ, or D(xyx) = D(x)y*x*+ xD(yx) for all pairs x, y ∈ ℛ, then D is a *-derivation. Moreover this result makes it possible to prove that if ℛ satis es 2D(xn

Auswirkungen des gesetzlichen Mindestlohns im Handwerk in Sachsen-Anhalt
Authors: Brautzsch Hans-Ulrich , Schultz Birgit
Published: August 2018

This paper examines the effects of the minimum wage introduction in Germany in 2015 on the skilled crafts sector in Saxony-Anhalt.

Using novel survey data on the skilled crafts sector in Saxony-Anhalt, we examine three questions: (1) How many employees are affected by the minimum wage introduction in the skilled crafts sector in Saxony-Anhalt? (2) What are the effects of the minimum wage introduction? (3) How did firms react to wage increase?

We find that about 8 % of all employees in the skilled crafts sector in Saxony-Anhalt are directly affected by the minimum wage introduction. A difference-in-difference estimation reveals no significant employment effects of the minimum wage introduction. We test for alternative adjustment strategies and observe a significant increase of output prices.
Verbesserte Finanzbedarfsmessung im nordrhein-westfälischen Finanzausgleich und ihre Verteilungswirkungen
Authors: Brenner Thomas , Döring Thomas
Published: August 2018

Within the local fiscal equalization system of North Rhine-Westphalia, anticipated financial needs of municipalities are estimated by the use of regression analysis. In the recent past the previously exercised regression approach shows unexpected results concerning the main parameters determining intra-system allocation of general grants. Against this background the paper analyses the reasons for these parameter variations in order to identify an alternative approach to achieve regression results with higher accuracy and time stability both of which are of particular importance from a fiscal equalization policy perspective. It will be shown that the so-called robust regression is such an alternative method which leads – in case of its implementation – to divergent distributional effects compared to the status quo.
A Novel Tribometer Designed to Evaluate Geological Sliding Contacts Lubricated by Drilling Muds
Authors: Egberts Philip , Simin Nicholas , Wong Calvin , Czibor Jan , Ewanchuk Curtis , Park Simon
Published: August 2018

Great interest in improving lubricity, or reducing friction, of drilling muds used for horizontal oil well drilling is motivated by increasing the horizontal reach that can be attained by a single drilling site. However, there are a limited number of commercially available devices that can be used to evaluate novel drilling mud solutions under sliding conditions that accurately replicate those encountered in the field, and those that are available are often prohibitively expensive. Here, the design of a low-cost lubricity meter, or tribometer, is documented. The purpose-built tribometer is capable of varying rotating speeds, applied normal loads, temperature, and counter surface materials. In particular, the counter surface of the tribometer can be either a steel surface, as is often used in the industrial lubricity meters available in corporate laboratories, or a geological core specimen taken from the drill site. The novel instrument was then used to evaluate four commercially available water-based drilling fluid lubricant additives, dissolved in distilled water, for both a steel-on-steel contact and a steel-on-rock contact. The steel-on-steel contact shows that the tribometer replicates the results of tests typically conducted in drilling fluid labs, thus verifying the performance of the newly developed tribometer. Additional results show that the friction and performance of the lubricant depend significantly on the materials used: steel-on-steel contacts show much lower friction than steel-on-sandstone contact. Finally, a weak dependence on the applied load is shown for a number of lubricant additives examined.
A Comparison of the ASTM F2508 and ANSI/NFSI B101.3 Walkway-Safety Tribometry Standards Using Measurements from Two Different Tribometers
Authors: Bevill Grant , Baker H. Thomas
Published: August 2018

In order to provide the safest possible built environment for pedestrian use, care must be taken to supply walking surfaces that are slip resistant. However, there remains an inability to establish a method of consensus for determining whether a surface is slip resistant. Two current walkway-safety standards illustrate two different approaches to this issue—ANSI A137.1, American National Standards Specifications for Ceramic Tile, and ANSI/NFSI B101.3, Test Method for Measuring Wet DCOF of Common Hard-Surface Floor Materials, promotes a numeric threshold model, while ASTM F2508, Standard Practice for Validation, Calibration, and Certification of Walkway Tribometers Using Reference Surfaces, is a validation standard based on the relative ranking of walkway surface materials. The goal of this study was to determine whether these two standards are compatible in how they rank/evaluate surfaces. To do this, two tribometers, (the BOT-3000E (BOT) (Regan Scientific Instruments, Southlake, TX, USA) and English XL Variable Incidence Tribometer (XL) (Excel Tribometers, Chesapeake, VA, USA)) were used to take slip resistance measurements using the four reference surfaces designated in the ASTM F2508 standard. Measurements for the BOT were taken under three conditions: (1) styrene–butadiene–rubber (SBR) test foot with distilled water and surfactant (consistent with ANSI/NFSI B101.3), (2) SBR test foot with distilled water, and (3) Neolite test foot with distilled water. Measurements for the XL were taken using a Neolite test foot with distilled water. Results indicate that the vinyl composite tile was the reference surface nearest to the ANSI threshold for high slip resistance but fell approximately 11 % below the threshold value of 0.42. The two most slippery reference surfaces (granite and porcelain) fell well below the ANSI threshold for high slip resistance, while the most slip resistant (ceramic tile) was well above the threshold. Unexpectedly, we also found a strong linear correlation (R2 = 0.99) between the measurements from the XL versus the BOT with SBR and surfactant test condition, which allowed for conversion of slip resistance readings between the two tribometers under these conditions. These results provide new data that allow aspects of the ASTM and ANSI standards to be directly compared.

Building Homes for Black History
Authors: Ruffins Fath Davis
Published: August 2018

This essay investigates the cultural forces that shaped the development of the post 1945 founders, founding directors of African American museums and the pioneers at historically white institutions, such as the Smithsonian. All of these people were shaped by the “Negro Canon” whose principal components were the African American political and cultural activists of the earlier twentieth century such as Carter G. Woodson and Alain Locke, and their exposure to the society of “historically Black colleges and universities” (HBCUs). These experiences helped them creatively adapt to the rapidly shifting socio-political environment of the postwar era to change forever the cultural landscape of the United States.

Romare Bearden Graduate Museum Fellowship Program—Outreach to Inreach—A Generation of Cultivating Tomorrow’s Leaders
Authors: Franklin Renee Brummell
Published: August 2018

This article chronicles the twenty-six-year history of the Saint Louis Art Museum Romare Bearden Graduate Museum Fellowship, which was created to increase the number of professional staff from underrepresented backgrounds working in museums. It provides an overview of early supporters/founders of the program and details the trajectory of a generation of Bearden Fellows, most of whom are now professionally engaged in museums and arts-related careers. This case study also examines the benefits of staff diversity to the inclusive culture sought by museums as they cultivate new audiences and search for innovative strategies to maintain their relevance and community relationships. It calls upon museums to view diversity as an evolutionary conversation by examining the motivations and objectives that constitute the contemporary “diversity and inclusion” discourse.
The Impact of Social Movements on the Development of African American Museums
Authors: Fleming John E.
Published: August 2018

The effort to preserve African American history is firmly grounded in the struggle for freedom and equality. Black people understood the relationship between heritage and the freedom struggle. Such struggles in the pre and post Civil War eras spurred the preservation of African and African American culture first in libraries and archives and later museums. The civil rights, Black Power, Black Arts and Black Studies movements helped advance social and political change, which in turn spurred the development of Black museums as formal institutions for preserving African American culture.
Growth of Historic Sites
Authors: Leggs Brent
Published: August 2018

Cultural heritage sites that bring forward the African American narrative have served a crucial role in redefining our collective history and, ultimately, reconstructing a national identity that reflects the country’s true diversity. Preservation professionals and grassroots leaders harness the power of place and the influence of historical figures to inspire and advocate for equity, funding, and recognition of our shared cultural legacy. This paper examines a range of Black heritage sites to reinforce the notion that preservation comes in many different forms and can be used as a tool to empower Black communities. Through historic preservation practice, storytelling, and partnerships, the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund is scaling up the preservation movement to ensure the full American story will be shared with future generations.

Kam reikia istorijos didaktikos istorijos (ne pedagogikos) studijose?
Authors: Šermukšnytė Rūta
Published: August 2018

[article in Lithuanian; abstract and key words in English]

The purpose of this article is to answer the following question: why is history didactics needed in history (non-pedagogic) studies? The article begins with the existing definitions of the concepts of the didactics and history didactics as well as their statuses as academic disciplines. Further attention is paid to the German program of history didactics, an acquaintance with which has caused certain changes in the study programs at the Faculty of History of Vilnius University. The article concludes with a discussion of the reception of the German ideas in the studies of this faculty. The novelty of the article can be seen in the first attempt to scientifically legitimize the teaching of the history of didactics in history studies and to dispute the tradition, a popular one in Lithuania, of dissociating the research on teaching from the studies of historical consciousness, historical culture, memory etc. The article revealed that studies of history (non-pedagogy) can be substantially enriched by those history didactics that, with the help of the categories of historical consciousness and historical culture, treat history teaching (learning) as a part of daily communication and as an integral aspect of human life practice. Such a concept is typical of the German program of history didactics, associated with the 1960s and 1970s. The German program of history didactics was chosen as a theoretical basis when constructing the subject of history didactics for the Master’s Program in History (1997) of the Faculty of History in Vilnius University and when constructing the subject (later the module) of history didactics for the Bachelor’s Program in Cultural History and Anthropology (2003, 2012). German theory presents not only the framework for subject/module themes but it also serves as a theoretical basis that allows to conceptually combine the problems of historical consciousness, academic history, historical culture and school history. It is likely that the concept of history didactics, which goes beyond the school limits, will eventually return the consideration of conceptual issues to the discipline of Lithuanian history didactics.

Published: August 2018

Fraud is a serious threat to the organization and should prevent as early as possible. The prevention and detection of fraud is the responsibility of management. The fraud experts estimate that the fraud that has revealed is a small part of all the actual fraud that occurred. Therefore, the main effort is on prevention. This study aims to determine the effect of internal controls and anti-fraud awareness in the prevention of fraud. The samples used were employees of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Data were analyzed using multiple regressions. The results showed that the internal control does not affect the prevention of fraud. Meanwhile, the anti-fraud awareness significant positive effect on the prevention of fraud. The results of this study are not yet entirely following the conditions at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta has the concept of internal control and fraud prevention is good, but not yet implemented correctly by all parties. There are still some things that need to be improved practice, for example regarding employee performance evaluation, and program promotion of employees.DOI: 10.15408/etk.v17i2.7473

Synchronicity in Signage Promotes a Sense of Belonging
Authors: Sundar Aparna , Gonsales Flavia , Schafer Gracie
Published: August 2018

The role of synchronicity in signage is investigated in two studies. Synchronicity has been theoretically linked to solidarity or a feeling of unity. In this research, we empirically investigate the effects of depicting synchronicity in signage using the visual principle of rhythm. Rhythm in images to create synchronicity in signage increases entitativity and a sense of belonging. We demonstrate key effects that can be leveraged in shaping consumer inferences in community and commercial contexts. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of this strategy, but only when prior perceptions of belonging are absent. Implications for theory and future research are discussed.
Description of the growth of pequi fruits by nonlinear models
Authors: Ribeiro Thais Destefani , Mattos Ricardo Wagner Pacopahyba de , Morais Augusto Ramalho de , Muniz Joel Augusto
Published: August 2018

Abstract Pequi tree is a species native to the Brazilian cerrado, with wide geographic distribution, whose fruit is very appreciated in cooking, composing traditional dishes. In general, pequi fruit is consumed when ripe in the fresh form or in the various derived products such as oils, liqueurs, sweets, ice creams among others, involving important socioeconomic activity generating employment and income in family agriculture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adjustment of Brody, Gompertz, Logistic and Von Bertalanffy models in the growth and development of pequi fruits based on their physical characteristics such as longitudinal and cross-sectional diameter and fresh mass obtained over time. Parameters were estimated using R software routines, using the least squares method and the Gauss-Newton iterative process. The adjustment of models was compared using the following criteria: residual standard deviation, adjusted determination coefficient and corrected Akaike information criterion. In general, data presented no correlation error structure and the Von Bertalanffy model did not fit fresh mass data. The models presented good quality in the adjustment to pequi growth data, except for the Brody model for fresh mass. The Gompertz and Logistic models were those that best described variables, and the Gompertz model was the most suitable to describe diameter and mass data. Based on the adjustment, a slow initial growth was observed up to about 20 days after anthesis; after this period, the fruit developed more rapidly up to 90 days and then presented a tendency to stability until the end of the evaluation period at 117 days after anthesis, with sigmoid curve character. Pequi fruits obtained final average value of 7.1 cm for cross-sectional diameter, 6.8 cm for longitudinal diameter and 113g for fresh mass.

RESUMO Objetivo: discutir os aspectos contextuais relacionados ao gerenciamento do cuidado de enfermagem à criança hospitalizada com dor oncológica crônica. Método: pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvida com base no referencial metodológico da Teoria Fundamentada em Dados e no referencial teórico do Pensamento Complexo, a partir de Edgar Morin. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio da entrevista semiestruturada e da observação não participante. Os 21 participantes da pesquisa foram organizados em três grupos amostrais: o primeiro foi composto por sete enfermeiros; o segundo foi constituído por sete técnicos de enfermagem e o terceiro foi formado por sete profissionais da equipe multiprofissional de saúde. Os resultados da pesquisa foram validados por cinco examinadores, dos quais três apresentavam expertise no método de pesquisa. Resultados: a categoria intitulada “Desvelando aspectos contextuais sobre o gerenciamento do cuidado de enfermagem à criança com dor oncológica crônica” revelou por meio de suas subcategorias que a hospitalização dessa criança é longa, marcada por mudanças na dinâmica familiar, perdas e limitações impostas pela doença e/ou tratamento. O gerenciamento do cuidado de enfermagem é complexo, realizado por meio do trabalho em equipe e da demanda um planejamento que valorize as múltiplas necessidades da criança e do familiar. Conclusão: os resultados apontam para a necessidade do profissional de enfermagem contextualizar suas relações de cuidado, a partir da valorização de aspectos que transcendem a dimensão biológica da criança hospitalizada com dor oncológica crônica.

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar a relação entre os estressores percebidos na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva e a instabilidade hemodinâmica no pós-operatório de pacientes submetidos à primeira cirurgia cardíaca. Método: estudo observacional analítico, de coorte prospectiva, desenvolvido em hospital universitário do interior paulista. Uma amostra consecutiva e não probabilística foi constituída por pacientes submetidos à primeira cirurgia cardíaca de revascularização do miocárdio ou correção de valvopatias. A Escala de Avaliação de Estressores em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (com valores de 0-200; o maior valor indica maior estresse) e os marcadores de perfusão tecidual foram utilizados na avaliação das variáveis de interesse. Resultados: participaram do estudo 150 pacientes. Os pacientes com instabilidade hemodinâmica (n=91) apresentaram média de 75,6 pontos na avaliação dos estressores e aqueles sem instabilidade hemodinâmica (n=59) apresentaram média de 72,8 pontos, não havendo diferença estatisticamente significante entre eles (p=0,398; teste t de Student). Conclusão: na amostra estudada não foi constata relação entre estressores percebidos na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva e a instabilidade hemodinâmica no pós-operatório de cirurgias cardíacas.

RESUMO Objetivo: compreender o processo histórico do ofício das parteiras do semiárido nordestino brasileiro por meio da história oral. Método: estudo qualitativo realizado em nove municípios do Cariri cearense com 16 parteiras, por meio do método da história oral. Foi utilizada, como instrumento de coleta de dados, a entrevista semiestruturada, com gravação das entrevistas em vídeo. Os relatos foram transcritos, textualizados e transcriados, sendo analisados segundo o método da história oral de vida. Resultados: a inserção de mulheres no ofício de parteiras ocorreu de forma transcendental ou essencial. Foi considerado um dom autônomo, divino ou aprendido pelo convívio com outras parteiras mais experientes. Seus conhecimentos variaram entre os saberes empírico e científico, tendo sido modificados ao longo do tempo, por conta do crescimento da medicalização, instigando a reflexão diante da atuação profissional voltada à saúde da mulher. Isto valorizou o parto, tornado um momento único, respeitando todos seus significados e devolvendo à mulher seu direito de ser mãe com humanidade e segurança. Conclusão: ficou evidente a forma natural e transcendental com que as parteiras foram inseridas neste ofício, motivadas pelo sentimento de altruísmo em um contexto histórico e social de ausência de acesso universal à saúde, de localização geográfica rural e de pouca disponibilidade de recursos humanos na saúde. Ficaram evidentes, deste modo, seus valores e sua importância no cenário da saúde obstétrica brasileira.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the cross-cultural validation process of the “DISABKIDS” questionnaire in Colombia, for both the children and adolescents’ version and the parents’ version, an instrument intended to measure the health-related quality of life of Colombian children and adolescents with chronic diseases. Method: the cross-cultural validation process was conducted according to an international consensual systematic methodology, called standardized linguistic validation, to ensure linguistic equivalence with the original questionnaire. Results: the pretest’s cognitive interviews revealed a need to adjust the questionnaire, which consisted of asking for “health condition” rather than only asking for “condition”. Due to the cultural context, the word “condition” used in the original version, when translated to Spanish, refers to socioeconomic conditions rather than health conditions. For this reason, 11 items in the children’s version and eight items in the parents’ version were adjusted. Conclusions: the Colombian version of DISABKIDS-37 to measure health-related quality of life among children and adolescents with chronic diseases in both the children’s and parents’ versions is equivalent to the original version and is appropriate for use in Colombia. Future studies can assess the questionnaire’s psychometric properties.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the risks of illnesses related to the work context of nursing workers in a psychiatric hospital. Method: Cross-sectional and quantitative study, developed in a psychiatric hospital with 74 nursing workers. The Work Context Assessment Scale was used to measure the risks of illness at work. Descriptive analyzes were performed with mean and standard deviation. To test the reliability of the data, the Cronbach’s alpha test was used. The correlation between the factors of the work context was tested using the Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: The organization of work was considered serious, social-professional relationships were considered satisfactory and working conditions were considered severe for risks of illness at work. The repetitiveness of tasks, work conditions that pose risks to safety, inadequate furniture and physical structure of the workplace, and the existence of noise in the work environment were indicated as severe risks to workers’ health. Conclusion: The factor working conditions is the one that contributes the most to illness among nursing workers.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify risk factors for falls in hospitalized adult patients. Methods: a matched case-control study (one control for each case). A quantitative study conducted in clinical and surgical units of a teaching hospital in Southern Brazil. The sample comprised 358 patients. Data were collected over 18 months between 2013-2014. Data analysis was performed with descriptive statistics and conditional logistic regression using Microsoft Excel and SPSS version 18.0. Results: risk factors identified were: disorientation/confusion [OR 4.25 (1.99 to 9.08), p<0.001]; frequent urination [OR 4.50 (1.86 to 10.87), p=0.001]; walking limitation [OR 4.34 (2.05 to 9.14), p<0.001]; absence of caregiver [OR 0.37 (0.22 to 0.63), p<0.001]; postoperative period [OR 0.50 (0.26 to 0.94), p=0.03]; and number of medications administered within 72 hours prior the fall [OR 1.20 (1.04 to 1.39) p=0.01]. Conclusion: risk for falls is multifactorial. However, understanding these factors provides support to clinical decision-making and positively influences patient safety.
