Automated tableau generation using SPOT (Syntax Prosody in Optimality Theory)
Authors: Bellik Jennifer , Kalivoda Nick
Published: May 2019

Much recent work on the syntax-prosody interface has been based in Optimality Theory. The typical analysis explicitly considers only a small number of candidates that could reasonably be expected to be optimal under some ranking, often without an explicit definition of GEN. Manually generating all the possible candidates, however, is prohibitively time-consuming for most input structures – the Too Many Candidates Problem. Existing software for OT uses regular expressions for automated generation and evaluation of candidates. However, regular expressions are too low in the Chomsky Hierarchy of language types to represent trees of arbitrary size, which are needed for syntax-prosody work. This paper presents a new computational tool for research in this area: Syntax-Prosody in Optimality Theory (SPOT). For a given input, SPOT generates all prosodic parses under certain assumptions about GEN, and evaluates them against all constraints in CON. This allows for in-depth comparison of the typological predictions made by different theories of GEN and CON at the syntax-prosody interface.
Effects of average and specific context probability on reduction of function wordsBEandHAVE
Authors: Barth Danielle
Published: May 2019

In a study of word shortening ofHAVEand contraction ofBE, it is found that both high transitional probability and high average context probability (low informativity) result in reduction. Previous studies have found this effect for content words and this study extend the findings to function words. Average context probability is by construction type, showing that words are shorter in constructions with high average predictability, namely in perfect constructions forHAVEand in future and progressive constructions forBE. These findings show that in cases of grammaticalization, it is not an increase in frequency that results in reduction, but a decrease in informativity.

Willingness to Pay for Energy Efficient Refrigerating Appliances in Accra, Ghana: A Choice Experiment Approach
Authors: Asinyaka Michael
Published: May 2019

The use of energy efficient refrigerating appliances in the domestic sector holds promise for savings on energy, CO2emissions and CFC leakages, and more so for developing countries than for developed countries. However, the low saliency of energy efficiency and monetary savings impedes the uptake of energy efficient appliances by end-use consumers and suppliers of residential appliances. Moreover, there is the lack of information on how consumers value different refrigerating appliances and appliance features as well as how much they are willing to pay for same. Applying a choice experiment approach, this paper valued consumers’ preferences for energy efficient refrigerating appliances and found that willingness to pay (WTP) is significant and positive at GH¢3,078.12 ($690). However, evidence of the influence of socio-demographics on WTP and preferences is inconclusive.
Does It Pay to Be Active on Many Foreign Markets? Profitability in German Multi-Market Exporters and Importers from Manufacturing Industries
Authors: Wagner Joachim
Published: May 2019

This paper provides the first empirical evidence on the link between the number of foreign markets (where a market is defined as the combination of one traded good and one country traded with) a firm is active on and its profitability. We find that in German manufacturing industries the profitability of a firm is neither positively nor negatively related to the number of foreign markets. The extra costs associated with being active on more foreign markets tend to be balanced by the extra benefits. Therefore, we have evidence that it does not pay to be active on many foreign markets.
Tourism development in transition economies of the western Balkans
Authors: Lehmann Tine , Gronau Werner
Published: May 2019

Tourism development in transition economies is characterized by hazards and incomplete setups. Tourists encounter lacking accommodation standard, full trash bins, insufficient health care and security infrastructure. Hence, tourism development actors in transition economies are often criticized for the incomplete touristic product. In this article we will have a more detailed look on this criticism and analyse the background of this discussion. We follow the criticism and analyse the given institutional constrains that influence tourism development in transition economies. We therefore question, what are the effects of these institutional constrains on tourism development in transition economies. We follow a qualitative approach with a single case study from a cross-border hiking trail in southeast Europe. Our data is based on secondary data, participant observer material and interviews with local actors. We demonstrate that transition economies face institutional voids, while performing well, when it comes to increasing tourism numbers. Therefore, the contribution aims on providing possible explanation on the obvious contradiction of a partly incomplete, but successful tourism product. The authors question the importance of classical quality criteria in case of the specific tourism product and the specific clientele while stressing the dimensions of authenticity, credibility and homogeneity of the given tourism setting.
Mechanical Properties of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube–Reinforced Cement Composites
Authors: Sharma Sumit , Dubey Krishan Mohan , Setia Prince
Published: May 2019

Cement is a great resource for the construction of buildings, dams, bridges, etc. because of its high compressive strength, but it has low tensile and flexural strength. Thus, to improve its properties, cement has been reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Three groups of specimens of cement composites containing multiwalled CNTs (MWCNTs) with different concentrations of MWCNTs (0, 0.2, and 0.3 % by weight of cement) were prepared. From the results, it was observed that the 0.3 wt. % MWCNT-cement composites had higher flexural strength compared to the 0.2 wt. % MWCNT-cement composites at 21 days, but the reverse was the case at the age of 14 days. The 0.2 wt. % MWCNT-cement composites had greater strain-to-failure than the 0.3 % MWCNT-cement composites at 14 as well as 21 days.

À luz de preceitos da semiótica discursiva, principalmente dos trabalhos de Fiorin (2005, 2009, 2012), Barros (1997) e Teixeira (2008, 2009), neste artigo realizamos a análise de três peças de publicidade social buscando explicitar como mecanismos de ordem verbal e visual se inter-relacionam de modo a atribuírem peso argumentativo aos textos. Mais especificamente, buscamos evidenciar o modo de articulação entre figuras e temas que, nestes textos, entrelaçam universos semânticos distintos e se configuram como estratégias enunciativas de persuasão do enunciatário.
Estratégias de aprendizagem de alemão como língua estrangeira na coleção de livros didáticos Studio [21]
Authors: Kunrath Milena Hoffmann , Limberger Bernardo Kolling
Published: May 2019

Estratégias de aprendizagem podem ser definidas, segundo Oxford (1990), como ferramentas para o envolvimento ativo e autodirigido do estudante no seu processo de aprendizagem. Tais ferramentas são essenciais para o desenvolvimento da competência comunicativa e da autonomia na aprendizagem da língua estrangeira. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo é investigar como são abordadas as estratégias de aprendizagem na coleção de livros didáticos de alemão como língua estrangeira (DaF) Studio [21] e se a coleção bem desenvolve o que propõe sobre essas ferramentas. A coleção foi escolhida para analisá-la criticamente sob o viés da promoção da autonomia dos nossos estudantes e porque a adotamos nas nossas aulas de alemão como língua estrangeira. As estratégias são analisadas quantitativamente, por meio da contagem das ocorrências de apresentação das estratégias e de atividades correspondentes, e qualitativamente, por meio da análise de alguns excertos selecionados do livro e dos tipos de estratégias de aprendizagem enfatizadas. Os resultados mostram que um dos pilares da coleção é a apresentação de estratégias de aprendizagem, pois há várias ocorrências ao longo de toda a coleção. Entretanto, há predomínio de estratégias diretas (de memorização e cognitivas), em detrimento das estratégias indiretas, aquelas que não têm relação direta com a língua-alvo. Acreditamos que a contribuição deste estudo esteja situada na reflexão sobre as estratégias na aula de DaF e no consequente aprimoramento e expansão do repertório e uso de estratégias por nossos alunos. Por extensão, o estudo pode contribuir para atingir os mesmos objetivos de outros professores.
Alinhando à tese de Charles Goodwin: “o afásico é um falante competente que não pode falar”
Authors: De Oliveira Lívia Miranda , Dias Julia Gonçalves , Leite Ingrid Santos
Published: May 2019

Este estudo objetivou investigar a competência pragmático-interacional de um sujeito afásico, partindo de dados naturais de fala em interação e alinhando-se à tese de Charles Goodwin de que afásicos são falantes competentes que não podem falar. Nele, elegemos olhar para a performance de um sujeito afásico via estratégias discursivas por ele engenhosamente utilizadas para dar conta da comunicação com o outro. Para dar suporte às nossas escolhas teóricas e metodológicas, recorremos aos fundamentos do campo da Linguística Sociointeracional, área que se caracteriza por articular diferentes tradições de pesquisa, como a AC, a Linguística, a Antropologia (etnografia), a Sociologia, a Filosofia (Pragmática) (cf. Gumperz 1982). Seguindo esse caminho, foi possível observar que o sujeito afásico se engajou proativamente na interação, empenhando-se muito (e colaborativamente) para que os seus interlocutores o compreendessem, e, assim, de um modo extremamente habilidoso, mostrou sua grande competência pragmático-interacional em performances de um falante competente.

Objectives

Inoperable or metastatic paragangliomas (PGLs) and malignant pheochromocytomas (PCCs) are rare tumours with limited options for systemic treatment. Aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the radiolabelled somatostatin analogue (177LutetiumDOTA0-Tyr3)octreotate (177Lu-DOTATATE) for the treatment of PGLs and PCCs.

Methods

Patients with histologically proven inoperable or malignant PGLs and PCCs treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE at our centre were retrospectively analysed. Patients were treated with up to four cycles of 177Lu-DOTATATE with an intended dose of 7.4 Gb per cycle. Response was assessed with use of RECIST 1.1.

Results

Thirty patients were included: 17 with parasympathetic, 10 with sympathetic PGLs and 3 with PCCs. Grade 3/4 subacute haematotoxicity occurred in 6 (20%) of patients. A reversible subacute adverse event due to cardiac failure following possible catecholamine release occurred in two patients. Best tumour response was partial response in 7 (23%) and stable disease in 20 (67%), whereas 3 (10%) patients had progressive disease. In 20 patients with baseline disease progression, tumour control was observed in 17 (85%); the median progression-free survival was 91 months in patients with parasympathetic PGLs, 13 months in patients with sympathetic PGLs and 10 months in patients with metastatic PCCs.

Conclusion

This study suggests that PRRT with 177Lu-DOTATATE is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with inoperable or malignant PGL and PCC.
Pulmonary Function Testing and Outcomes after Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation
Authors: Raheja Suraj , Nemeh Hassan , Williams Celeste , Tita Cristina , Selektor Yelena , Chamogeorgiakis Themistokles , Lanfear David
Published: May 2019

Background: Pulmonary function testing (PFT) is often done during workup prior to left ventricular assist devices (LVAD), but its utility for predicting outcomes and changes in pulmonary function post-LVAD is not well established. We assessed the association of baseline PFT metrics with outcomes after LVAD, and quantified the changes in PFTs post-LVAD.
Methods and results: A retrospective study of 178 patients receiving continuous flow LVADs was conducted. A total of 129 subjects had baseline PFT data and 54 of these had repeat tests after LVAD. We collected PFT data (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC ratios, and DLCO) at baseline and post-LVAD, and tested the association with survival, right heart failure, quality of life (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire [KCCQ]) and functional capacity (six-minute walking distance [6MWD]). Proportional hazards and linear regressions determined relationships between baseline PFT data and survival time and functional outcomes, respectively. Paired t-tests compared pre- and post- LVAD PFT variables. There was no association of baseline PFT parameters with survival time post-LVAD (all P > .2), nor the incidence of perioperative RV failure (all P > .15). There were no significant associations of the baseline PFT metrics with the change in KCCQ or 6MWD.  There were statistically significant declines in FEV1, FEV1/FVC ratio, and DLCO after LVAD (P < .05).
Conclusion: In this single center study, there was no relationship between baseline PFTs and post-LVAD outcomes, and PFT parameters often worsened after LVAD. Further studies are needed to determine whether PFTs are useful in this setting, and what, if any, impact LVAD therapy has on pulmonary function.

EL CAPITAL RELACIONAL Y LA CAPACIDAD INNOVADORA
Authors: Quevedo Alejos María Isabel Alejandra
Published: May 2019

El estudio aborda la importancia del capital relacional y la capacidad innovadora, fuentes de ventaja competitiva. El capital relacional representa el conocimiento incorporado a la empresa producto de sus relaciones externas con los clientes, proveedores, competidores, alianzas, entre otros, permitiendo de esta manera generar un nuevo conocimiento que resulta ser superior, debido a que es producto de la combinación del conocimiento propio de la empresa y el de su entorno, lo cual favorece a la innovación porque el conocimiento es un recurso imprescindible.  La innovación es concebida como un proceso dinámico a través del cual, se realizan actividades, se desarrollan vínculos con el exterior y capacidades, para aprovechar el conocimiento con el propósito de mejorar los resultados y lograr una ventaja competitiva. La capacidad innovadora representa la habilidad de la empresa, que, a través de nuevas formas innovadoras, teniendo en cuenta los recursos del mercado y aprovechando los propios, permite crear nuevos productos, procesos o nuevas formas de organización y mercadotecnia, respondiendo de ésta manera a los entornos cambiantes. El conocimiento es esencial para la capacidad innovadora y el capital relacional resulta estratégico porque facilita el intercambio del conocimiento.
Pacemaker and Defibrillator Implantation and Programming in Patients with Deep Brain Stimulation
Authors: Elliott Mark , Momin Sheikh , Fiddes Barnaby , Farooqi Fahad , Sohaib SM Afzal
Published: May 2019

The need for cardiac device implantation in patients receiving deep brain stimulation (DBS) is increasing. Despite the theoretical risk of the two systems interacting, there are no clear guidelines for cardiologists carrying out cardiac device implantation in this population. We performed a review of the literature and describe 13 case reports in which patients have both DBS and a cardiac pacemaker or ICD implanted. Except for one early study, in which an ICD shock reset the deep brain stimulator, no significant interactions have been reported. We discuss the potential interactions between DBS and cardiac devices, and provide practical advice for implanting cardiologists. We conclude that, provided that specific precautions are taken, cardiac device implantation is likely to be safe in patients with DBS.

Authors: Schmidt Beatriz , Arenhart Vitória Santos , Lopes Rita de Cassia Sobreira , Piccinini Cesar Augusto
Published: May 2019

O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar a coparentalidade aos três meses de vida do bebê. Participaram 26 famílias nucleares, com filho único. Mãe e pai responderam a entrevistas. A análise de conteúdo qualitativa revelou responsabilidade predominantemente materna nos cuidados do bebê na maioria das famílias. A mãe parecia ocupar uma posição de guardiã da relação pai-bebê, apresentando comportamentos facilitadores ou inibidores do envolvimento paterno. Todos os participantes mencionaram apoio ao papel coparental, embora também tenha sido identificada depreciação materna à contribuição paterna. O envolvimento triádico ocorria principalmente nos cuidados básicos do bebê. Verbalizações dos genitores sugeriram boa qualidade na comunicação familiar, além de bons níveis de acordo sobre os cuidados. Salientam-se aspectos gratificantes e desafiadores da coparentalidade aos três meses de vida do bebê, período em que os genitores estão se adaptando à nova identidade e aos novos papeis, para atender às necessidades do filho.
A função reflexiva em adolescentes em conflito com a lei e em adolescentes escolares
Authors: Favaretto Taís Cristina , Both Luciane Maria , Benetti Sílvia Pereira da Cruz
Published: May 2019

A função reflexiva (FR) é identificada como um constructo importante à compreensão psicopatológica e para a prática clínica. Sendo assim, neste artigo, busca-se ampliar o conhecimento sobre a função reflexiva em dois grupos de adolescentes com diferentes trajetórias, um em conflito com a lei (G1=91, M idade 16,57 anos, DP=0,77) e outro de escolares (G2=64, M de idade 15,89 anos, DP=0,75). Os instrumentos utilizados foram dados sociodemográficos, Questionário sobre Função Reflexiva para Jovens e Questionário de Capacidade e Dificuldades. Da amostra, identificou-se que 119 adolescentes eram não clínicos e 95 clínicos. A análise univariada demonstrou diferenças significativas na função reflexiva considerando a interação entre a variável G1 e G2 e as categorias clínico e não clínico. Assim, o G2 não clínico apresentou maior função reflexiva (M=8,60; DP=0,68; F=4,66; p<0,05), seguido pelo G1 clínico (M=8,29; DP=0,68). Tal característica no grupo clínico de adolescentes em conflito com a lei assinala hipermentalização. Aponta-se, portanto, a necessidade de avaliação e desenvolvimento da função reflexiva como prevenção em saúde mental.
O impacto do esporte competitivo na escolha alimentar: narrativas de atletas de ginástica artística masculina
Authors: De Oliveira Anna Vitoria Rodrigues Renaux , Juzwiak Claudia Ridel , Padovani Ricardo da Costa
Published: May 2019

Esportes que supervalorizam a estética e o baixo peso corporal são indicados como os com mais incidência de comportamentos alimentares de risco. Diante disto, investigou-se o impacto do esporte competitivo na escolha alimentar de atletas de ginástica artística masculina e, para tanto, foram entrevistados quatro ginastas adultos do gênero masculino. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com o uso das narrativas como abordagem metodológica. As entrevistas foram obtidas por meio de questões abertas e analisadas à luz da análise de conteúdo, evidenciando dois núcleos temáticos: “regras e estética” e “alimento como merecimento”. Os resultados indicam que as escolhas alimentares destes atletas no período competitivo, são desprovidas de prazer, norteadas pela preocupação com a estética, pelo controle exercido pelo técnico e por autorregras. Após a competição, as escolhas aparecem relacionadas ao prazer, livre de regras e vistas como recompensa. Portanto, conclui-se a vulnerabilidade deste grupo às escolhas alimentares prejudiciais à saúde.

Dendrorchis retrobiloba Volonterio & Ponce de León, 2005 was first described from the swim bladder of Astyanax fasciatus (Cuvier, 1819) from Montevideo, Uruguay. In this study, we necropsied specimens of A. aff. fasciatus collected from Lake Guaíba, in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, for the analysis of their helminths. The digeneans were identified as D. retrobiloba by their elongated body, oral sucker longer than ventral sucker, and 2 posterior lobes. This is the first report of D. retrobiloba in A. aff. fasciatus from Lake Guaíba and extends the known geographic distribution of this parasite.

Published: May 2019

Abstract Objective: To emphasize the most appropriate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diffusion protocol for the detection of lesions that cause transient global amnesia, in order to perform an accurate examination, as well as to determine the ideal time point after the onset of symptoms to perform the examination. Materials and Methods: We evaluated five patients with a diagnosis of transient global amnesia treated between 2012 and 2015. We analyzed demographic characteristics, clinical data, symptom onset, diffusion techniques, and radiological findings. Examination techniques included a standard diffusion sequence (b value = 1000 s/mm2; slice thickness = 5 mm) and a optimized diffusion sequence (b value = 2000 s/mm2; slice thickness = 3 mm). Results: Brain MRI was performed at 24 h or 36 h after symptom onset, except in one patient, in whom it was performed at 12 h after (at which point no changes were seen) and repeated at 36 h after symptom onset (at which point it showed alterations in the right hippocampus). The standard and optimized diffusion sequences were both able to demonstrate focal changes in the hippocampi in all of the patients but one, in whom the changes were demonstrated only in the optimized sequence. Conclusion: MRI can confirm a clinical hypothesis of transient global amnesia. Knowledge of the optimal diffusion parameters and the ideal timing of diffusion-weighted imaging (> 24 h after symptom onset) are essential to improving diagnostic efficiency.

Published: May 2019

RESUMO Com a utilização crescente da máquina de perfusão no transplante renal, tem sido constatado que a isquemia dinâmica correlaciona-se à melhora da preservação orgânica. Nesse contexto, realizamos uma revisão sistemática que procurou avaliar a eficácia do uso de máquina de perfusão portátil (LifePort Kidney Transporter Machine®), utilizada no Brasil, comparada ao armazenamento estático, no que tange à função retardada do transplante renal de doadores com morte encefálica. Foi efetuada pesquisa bibliográfica, nas bases LILACS, MEDLINE via PubMed, Scopus, Clarivate Analytics, Cochrane Library, Embase, SciELO, além de busca manual no Google acadêmico. A revisão sistemática, finalizada em abril 2017, foi constituída somente por ensaios clínicos randomizados. Para metanálise, foram avaliadas Razão de Risco e Razão de Chance. Foram identificados 86 documentos e selecionados, ao final, dois artigos com critérios de elegibilidade para metanálise, de grupos europeus e brasileiros. Nestes, 374 rins foram alocados para a máquina de perfusão, e igual número para o armazenamento estático. A função retardada do enxerto foi constatada em 84 e 110 pacientes, respectivamente. Na metanálise, foram obtidas uma Razão de Risco de 0,7568 (p=0,0151) e uma Razão de Chance de 0,6665 (p=0,0225), ambas com intervalo de confiança de 95%. A máquina de perfusão reduziu a incidência de função retardada do enxerto de doadores com morte encefálica.

Resumo A estabilidade do arco tem sido estudada através de análises estatísticas obtidas dos sinais de tensão de arco e corrente de soldagem. Histogramas e cálculo de estatísticas dos parâmetros tempo de arco aberto e tempo de curto circuito são meios de avaliação da estabilidade dos processos de soldagem. Contudo, estudos relacionados aos picos de tensão de reignição do arco elétrico ainda são pouco explorados. Desta forma, este trabalho apresenta uma metodologia de avaliação da distribuição de picos de reignição do arco do processo Gas Metal Arc Welding por curto-circuito (GMAW-CC). Cordões de solda depositados em chapa plana, variando o gás, foram executados a fim de produzir diferentes distribuições de picos de reignição. O teste qui-quadrado foi aplicado para avaliar a distribuição de frequências observadas de picos de tensão e compará-la com a distribuição hipotética. Um cordão padrão foi comparado com sua repetição e testada a hipótese de distribuições iguais. Os resultados mostraram que existem distribuições estatisticamente iguais de picos de tensão entre cordões de solda.

Remaking everything: the clash between Bigfoot, the termites and other strange miasmic emanations in an old industrial design school
Authors: Anastassakis Zoy
Published: May 2019

Abstract This essay in speculative fabulation deals with the "ESDI Aberta" movement (2016-2017), in which students, alumni, professors and employees of the Superior School of Industrial Design, State University of Rio de Janeiro (ESDI/UERJ), have invested in alternative ways to live in difference, in response to the administrative and financial crisis that affects not only ESDI and UERJ, but all institutions of public education in the country. Accompanying the Esdian experiments with Donna Haraway and Tim Ingold, this essay suggests that the crisis affecting universities can be re-envisioned as an opportunity for resurgence and the collective production of spaces for living together in difference. Mobilizing notions such as correspondence and interstitial differentiation (Ingold), response-ability and sympoiesis (Haraway), it evokes the termites that occupied the campus of the school, the ex-Governor Luiz Fernando de Souza (Pezão), and other strange miasmatic emanations that have become unfastened from the buried Lagoa do Boqueirão da Ajuda.

Published: May 2019

Abstract The enzyme-assisted extraction of bioactive compounds from plants has been studied as an alternative green technology and the carbohydrases have been candidates to improve the extraction process of numerous such compounds from plants. Polyphenols are secondary plant metabolites, generally involved in the defense against different types of stress and yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil., Aquifoliaceae) is a natural source of these antioxidant compounds. The aim of this work was to evaluate the enzyme-assisted extraction of polyphenols from green yerba mate employing response surface methodology (RSM), in order to determine the best extraction conditions. The independent variables were temperature (33.2 to 66.8 °C), enzyme concentration (0 to 336 FGBU/100g), reaction time (19 to 221 minutes) and pH (2.82 to 6.18). The use of carbohydrases increased the extraction of polyphenols from about 38.67% to 52.08%. The present results showed that all the independent variables were significant at the linear level and that temperature and pH were not significant at the quadratic level. The interactions of temperature and pH; enzyme and reaction time; and enzyme and pH were significant. The regression model presented a determination coefficient (R2) close to 0.85 and a fitted value close to 0.45. Considering the results of this study and their industrial viability, the best conditions for the extraction of polyphenols from green yerba mate are a temperature of 50.0 °C, enzyme concentration of 168 FGB/100 g, reaction time of 120 minutes and pH value of 4.50. This study was the first RSM-based report of the optimization of the enzyme-assisted extraction of total phenolic compounds from green yerba mate.

Authors: COSTA DANIELA , SILVA ISABEL SOARES
Published: May 2019

RESUMO A investigação tem privilegiado o estudo dos impactos do trabalho por turnos na saúde dos trabalhadores considerando a perspectiva dos próprios. Em contraste, o presente estudo avaliou os impactos dessa modalidade horária na vida familiar e social dos trabalhadores, segundo a perspetiva dos cônjuges/companheiros(as). Compararam-se também os impactos de dois horários de trabalho diferentes (trabalho por turnos vs. horário normal) na vida familiar e social. Participaram no estudo 515 cônjuges de policiais portugueses. Verificou-se que o trabalho por turnos tem impacto de moderado a elevado em todas as áreas avaliadas da vida familiar e social, tendo os cônjuges de trabalhadores por turnos relatado maiores impactos na reorganização familiar e na vida social conjunta. Quanto aos dois horários, foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas em todas as áreas avaliadas, tendo os familiares de trabalhadores por turnos relatado maiores impactos do horário de trabalho do cônjuge do que os familiares de trabalhadores diurnos.
Tunable CdS/TiO2 all-optical switches with defect layers
Authors: Shi Weilin , Shi Miaoyuan , Ma Xiying
Published: May 2019

The switching characteristics of one-dimensional photonic crystal (PC) all-optical switches of cadmium sulfide (CdS)/titanium dioxide (TiO2) with defect layers are investigated. The excited defect modes with high intensity, perfect symmetric and a very narrow band were found in the photonic bandgap range of the PC transmission spectrum when inserted cadmium sulfide defect layers in the PC structure. It results from the high optical non-linearity of the cadmium sulfide defect layer and the strong localized effects of the incident light. These effects are attributed to the light localization in the defect layers of the multilayer structures. Additionally, the number and position of the defect modes are tuned according to the number and separation of the defect layers. The steep response of on and off and the tuning properties of the perfect defect modes can be exploited for ultrafast all-optical switches in all-optical circuits. The results demonstrate that cadmium sulfide defective PCs are good candidates for the fabrication of ultrafast all-optical switching devices.

Published: May 2019

This study was made to analyze the influencing factors and its results in policy change process of the Japanese interpretation guide qualification system since 2000s, using the Kingdon’s multiple streams framework. It analyzed how was the problem stream, the political stream, policy stream, policy window and who the policy entrepreneurs was in 3 stages, in early of 2010s, early of 2010s and mid of 2010s. Results159 show that main influencing factors to the change of interpretation guide qualification system was the political stream―like national new economic policy and tourism policy, Prime Minister Abe and Meeting of Regulation Reform as the policy entrepreneurs. Also, it was found out that a review committee was being held for a long period to revise the qualification system. Finally, Japanese interpretation guide qualification system was changed from market entry regulation in 2000s to abolishment of the regulation in June, 2017. This result of the policy output was totally opposite of Korea which chose the employment-obligation of a qualified person. This study will be the source to broaden the study of changes in tourism policy and search for new policy of licensed tourist guide in Korea.
The effect of Tourism Experience on Place Attachment and Behavioral Intention
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Kim Yong Hee , Choi Byoung-Kil

Tourism experience refers to what tourists have felt through tourism activities at their destinations. Tourism experience can vary depending on who they are with and where they go. Therefore tourism experience research has been limited despite its importance in the field of tourism since it is hard to measure tourist tourism experience including all dimensions of all the individuals’ perceived emotions. Based on literature review, tourism experience can be categorized into self-beneficial, companionship and local hospitality experience. This study focuses on the hypothesized empirical analysis of the relationship between tourism experience factors, place attachment and behavioral intention of tourists in Jeju Island, which is the representative tourist destination in Korea. The result of this analysis, self-beneficial, companionship and local hospitality experience influenced behavioral intention and place attachment. And place attachment partially mediated between the relation of tourism experience and behavioral intention. This confirms that tourists’ higher level of place attachment through tourism experience is able to increase the higher degree of their behavioral intention.

Published: May 2019

The purpose of this study is to differentiate contingent perceived risks from overall perceived risk of low cost carriers, and to test the differences in overall and perceived risk by demographic characteristics and use experiences. According to the results, contingent risk perceptions for domestic flight are lower than general perceived risks, while perceived risks of international flight are higher than general perceived risks. The results show that consumers perceive risks differently when particular situations are given, as compared to the situation when general risk perception is asked. For the difference in perceived risks by demographic characteristics, males perceive higher risks than females. In case of risk factor of performance and psychological/physical elements, the perceived risk level has positive(+) relationships with respondents’ age. Respondents’ use experience of low cost carriers shows negative(-) correlations with perceived risks. Theoretical and practical implications with the direction for further research are addressed based on the results.

Published: May 2019

Leisure activities play an important role in our lives. Leisure activities during the college years in particular can help students to develop their happiness, personal potential and self-realization skills, in addition to contributing to a successful college life. Accordingly, this research aims to present practical suggestions for understanding the importance of students’ leisure activities by examining the relationship among their leisure satisfaction, self-esteem and quality of life. This study also investigates whether the frequency of leisure participation influences students’ leisure satisfaction and influential factors (i.e., self-esteem, quality of life). The survey was conducted with college students attending universities in South Gyeongsangnam-do from March to April 2016, and 405 out of 420 questionnaires were used in the analysis. The analysis results of all university students showed that emotional and educational factors affected their self-esteem and quality of life. The frequency of leisure participation influenced leisure satisfaction, quality of life and self-esteem, aside from physical satisfaction. The results provide empirical proof that college students’ leisure activities influence their self-esteem and quality of life. In this context, the study emphasizes the need for institutions and colleges to develop and provide numerous leisure programs.
Management of severe haemophilia A during surgery: case report
Authors: Cordial Ma Hazel
Published: May 2019

We describe the case of a patient with severe haemophilia A and significant comorbidities who underwent surgery to remove a large intra-abdominal haematoma first diagnosed 12 years previously. The haemophilia team was instrumental in coordinating care, building a strong rapport with surgical and other medical teams to manage bleeding risk with continuous infusion of factor VIII (FVIII). Medical teams adjusted their working hours according to clinical need. Haemophilia nurses were available to offer support at all times, and developed management procedures and educated staff on haemophilia and its treatment. Perioperative complications included a thrombus occluding the right internal jugular vein, infection and paraesthesia. However, surgery was effective and the patient was pleased with the overall outcome. Haemophilia nurses established strong and rewarding relationships with other teams that will enhance the delivery of care in the future.
