Published: March 2016

Resumo Este estudo aborda as representações de cuidadores familiares de idosos com Alzheimer considerando o cuidado à luz da Teoria das Representações Sociais. Objetiva observar e identificar as representações dos cuidadores familiares sobre o cuidado e analisar como influenciam em suas práticas de cuidado. É do tipo empírico, exploratório, qualiquantitativo e utiliza como método o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Participaram 21 cuidadores familiares de idosos com Alzheimer, sendo 24% homens e 76% mulheres, com faixa etária de 32 a 69 anos. Sobre o suporte fa miliar, 57% afirmaram possuir ajuda de parentes no cuidado com o idoso e 42 % declararam cuidar sozi nhos deles. Quanto à renda, 24% afirmaram que era confortável, 63%, que era razoável. Quanto à ajuda de profissionais, 63% afirmaram não possuir qual quer tipo de ajuda em casa e 38% possuíam ajuda, mas frequentemente relacionada aos serviços do mésticos. Emergiram as seguintes representações sociais: o cuidado como prisão; como missão; como desarmonia de identidades sociais e como gratidão. As representações atreladas às ideias de prisão e desarmonia de identidades acrescentam ansiedade, estresse e insegurança à vida dos cuidadores. Foram encontradas representações sobre o cuidado, sendo ao menos duas delas representações negativas, as sociando o cuidado às ideias de prisão e desarmonia de identidades sociais. Não foi possível alcançar de forma direta suas repercussões sobre a prática de cuidado pela ausência de observação da rotina de cuidado durante esta pesquisa.
Terapeuticalização e os dilemas preemptivistas na esfera da saúde pública individualizada
Authors: Castiel Luis David , Moraes Danielle Ribeiro de , Paula Igor Juliano de
Published: March 2016

Resumo Este ensaio pretende abordar o enfoque preemptivo no campo das práticas preventivas em saúde, espe cialmente quanto à ideia de ataque antecipatório no enfrentamento dos riscos que nos ameaçam. Há perspectivas que apontam para uma suposta imprecisão teórica do conceito "medicalização". Mesmo sendo este ponto de vista passível de dis cussões, propomos a expressão "terapeuticalização" para designar práticas relacionadas ao cuidado em saúde, com especial ênfase nas tecnologias de au tomonitoramento da saúde que coletam dados que permitem às pessoas um esquadrinhamento cons tante de funções biológicas como forma somática de produção de subjetividade. Parece haver uma abrangência que está se ampliando gradualmente para o uso de automonitoramento, que provavelmen te deve se expandir, na medida em que um crescente número de organizações e instâncias se dê conta do potencial dos dados produzidos a partir dessas práticas. O automonitoramento pode ser visto como uma estratégia biopolítica utilitarista que coloca o "si mesmo liberal" como um cidadão responsável, com vontade e capacidade de tomar cuidado de si, de sua felicidade, de seus autointeresses.
Entre saúde e aprimoramento: a engenharia do corpo por meio de cirurgias plásticas e terapias hormonais no Brasil
Authors: Edmonds Alexander , Sanabria Emilia
Published: March 2016

Resumo Este estudo explora as margens da medicina, em que práticas de saúde e aprimoramento se confundem. Ele é baseado no trabalho de campo desenvolvido no contexto de dois projetos de pesquisa distintos no Brasil sobre cirurgia plástica e terapias de hormônio sexual. Há uma significativa sobreposição clínica dessas duas terapias. Ambas estão disponíveis nos sistemas de saúde público e privado de tal forma que revelam a dinâmica de classes subjacente à medicina brasileira. Essas terapias também têm uma dimensão experimental enraizada no contexto normativo do Brasil e nas expectativas da sociedade em relação à medicina como forma de controlar a saúde reprodutiva e sexual da mulher. O uso medicinal experimental desses tratamentos está associado a um uso experimental “social”: as mulheres os adotam em resposta a pressões, ansiedades e aspirações no âmbito profissional e na vida pessoal. Argumenta-se aqui que essas técnicas experimentais estão se tornando moralmente autorizadas como um controle rotineiro da saúde da mulher, integradas aos tratamentos predominantes de obstetrícia e ginecologia, e sutilmente confundidas com práticas de cuidados pessoais que são vistas no Brasil como essenciais para atingir uma forma de feminilidade moderna.
Internal consistency of the self-reporting questionnaire-20 in occupational groups
Authors: Santos Kionna Oliveira Bernardes , Carvalho Fernando Martins , Araújo Tânia Maria de
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To assess the internal consistency of the measurements of the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) in different occupational groups. METHODS A validation study was conducted with data from four surveys with groups of workers, using similar methods. A total of 9,959 workers were studied. In all surveys, the common mental disorders were assessed via SRQ-20. The internal consistency considered the items belonging to dimensions extracted by tetrachoric factor analysis for each study. Item homogeneity assessment compared estimates of Cronbach’s alpha (KD-20), the alpha applied to a tetrachoric correlation matrix and stratified Cronbach’s alpha. RESULTS The SRQ-20 dimensions showed adequate values, considering the reference parameters. The internal consistency of the instrument items, assessed by stratified Cronbach’s alpha, was high (> 0.80) in the four studies. CONCLUSIONS The SRQ-20 showed good internal consistency in the professional categories evaluated. However, there is still a need for studies using alternative methods and additional information able to refine the accuracy of latent variable measurement instruments, as in the case of common mental disorders.
Effects of N-acetylcysteine and pentoxifylline on remote lung injury in a rat model of hind-limb ischemia/reperfusion injury
Authors: Takhtfooladi Hamed Ashrafzadeh , Hesaraki Saeed , Razmara Foad , Takhtfooladi Mohammad Ashrafzadeh , Hajizadeh Hadi
Published: March 2016

Objective : To investigate the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and pentoxifylline in a model of remote organ injury after hind-limb ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats, the lungs being the remote organ system. Methods : Thirty-five male Wistar rats were assigned to one of five conditions (n = 7/group), as follows: sham operation (control group); hind-limb ischemia, induced by clamping the left femoral artery, for 2 h, followed by 24 h of reperfusion (I/R group); and hind-limb ischemia, as above, followed by intraperitoneal injection (prior to reperfusion) of 150 mg/kg of NAC (I/R+NAC group), 40 mg/kg of pentoxifylline (I/R+PTX group), or both (I/R+NAC+PTX group). At the end of the trial, lung tissues were removed for histological analysis and assessment of oxidative stress. Results : In comparison with the rats in the other groups, those in the I/R group showed lower superoxide dismutase activity and glutathione levels, together with higher malondialdehyde levels and lung injury scores (p < 0.05 for all). Interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration of the lungs was also markedly greater in the I/R group than in the other groups. In addition, I/R group rats showed various signs of interstitial edema and hemorrhage. In the I/R+NAC, I/R+PTX, and I/R+NAC+PTX groups, superoxide dismutase activity, glutathione levels, malondialdehyde levels, and lung injury scores were preserved (p < 0.05 for all). The differences between the administration of NAC or pentoxifylline alone and the administration of the two together were not significant for any of those parameters (p > 0.05 for all). Conclusions : Our results suggest that NAC and pentoxifylline both protect lung tissue from the effects of skeletal muscle I/R. However, their combined use does not appear to increase the level of that protection.
Fake Academic Degrees in the 18th Century?
Authors: Zaretskiy Yury
Published: March 2016

Analyzing the most recent historical studies and sources dating back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the article reconstructs the fundamentals of degree awarding practices used in German universities of the Early Modern Period to understand whether they are comparable to present-day degree fraud practices. It examines into the academic degree concepts accepted in the pre-Modern Europe, analyses master’s and doctoral theses of the time, discusses the problem of their authorship, and traces back changes in the defense procedure as well as the historical and cultural factors which advanced the development of the modern doctoral degree. As long as social, cultural and intellectual transformations that prompted the emergence of the modern academic degree had only been completed by the beginning of the nineteenth century, the study considers it unreasonable to apply the currently existing academic and ethical criteria to the degree awarding practices of earlier historical periods. It does not mean fake degrees were a rare case or didn’t exist at all in the Early Modern Europe — it just means that academic fakeness was understood differently way back then.
The English Language and Afro Saxons: A Systemic Study of the Communicative Qualities of a Selection of African Prose Passages
Authors: Ufot Bassey , Thomas Idara E.
Published: March 2016

This paper studies the discourse strategies and communicative potential of the English language in a selection of Afro Saxon prose passages. The term ‘Afro Saxons’ was first coined by Kenyan scholar, Ali Mazrui, in 1975, by analogy with ‘Anglo Saxons’, to refer to the linguistic phenomenon in which the English language is increasingly becoming the ‘first language’ functionally of a great many black and African people. This study, therefore, enlarges upon this concept and undertakes to elaborate on the ways in which the communicative and expressive possibilities of English are exemplified in a selection of some of the most lyrical and dramatic prose extracts by some African writers. Mounted upon the theoretical platforms of Mazrui, and Halliday’s systemic functional grammar (SFG) with its contextual parameters of the ideational (field), interpersonal (tenor) and textual (mode) metafunctions, the research appraises the attitudes to the increasing global status of English. Then employing two Anglo Saxon prose passages as the control, it investigates in some detail the organic configurations of discourse such as transitivity, mood, thematic structure, cohesion and coherence in passages from Armah, Achebe and Soyinka, and concludes that, based on the effective use of the figurative and expressive metafunctions of the language, these authors may indeed be referred to as Afro Saxons.

Authors: Kozłowski Waldemar Ryszard
Published: March 2016

Rozwój infrastruktury stanowi niezbędny element rozwoju gospodarczego i społecznego kraju, regionu
czy gminy. Istotnym wyzwaniem dla samorządów lokalnych jest obecnie planowanie inwestycji
infrastrukturalnych przez pryzmat trzech wymiarów tj. gospodarczego, społecznego oraz środowiskowego.
Tematem artykułu jest opracowanie modelu planowania inwestycji infrastrukturalnych w oparciu
o wskaźniki zrównoważonego rozwoju. Celem takiego podejścia jest pomiar trzech ważnych wymiarów
(gospodarka, społeczeństwo, środowisko), związanych z planowaną inwestycją.
Uwarunkowania przyrodnicze w polityce przestrzennej na przykładzie gminy Mikołajki, położonej na szlaku Wielkich Jezior Mazurskich
Authors: Łaguna Dariusz
Published: March 2016

Wielkie Jeziora Mazurskie (WJM) to umownie przyjęta nazwa określająca obszar o niespotykanych walorach przyrodniczych, rozpoznawalny w przestrzeni Polski przede wszystkim ze względu na walory turystyczne. Obszar ten obejmuje 12 gmin i rozciąga się od małego jeziora Brzozolasek w pobliżu miasta Pisz, dalej przez miasta Mikołajki i Giżycko, aż do Węgorzewa na północnym brzegu jeziora Mamry. Znaczna część obszaru badań objęta jest prawnymi formami ochrony przyrody, co z punktu widzenia formułowania podstawowych celów polityki przestrzennej na poziomie lokalnym (gminnym) ma decydujące znaczenie. Prawne formy ochrony przyrody, często nakładające się na siebie, w istotny sposób ograniczają możliwość lokalizacji inwestycji w gminach położonych nad jeziorami mazurskimi. Nawet przedsięwzięcia z zakresu turystyki, które ze względu na potencjał obszaru, powinny być traktowane jako priorytetowe w polityce przestrzennej, są w znacznym stopniu ograniczone ze względu na nadrzędność celów ochrony przyrody. Dysponując bogatym materiałem badawczym, powstałym w trakcie prac na studium uwarunkowań i kierunków zagospodarowania przestrzennego gminy Mikołajki, podjęto próbę krytycznej oceny, z punktu widzenia możliwości rozwoju społeczności lokalnych, wpływu uwarunkowań przyrodniczych na formułowaną przez samorząd lokalny politykę przestrzenną. Przedstawiono próbę odpowiedzi na podstawowe pytanie: czy przy tak znacznych ograniczeniach (przyrodniczych) możliwe jest zarządzanie przestrzenią gminy bez wchodzenia w konflikt z celami ochrony przyrody oraz czy z punktu widzenia celów rozwojowych społeczności lokalnych ochrona przyrody jest czynnikiem wspierającym, czy hamującym rozwój.
Stan zrównoważenia dostępu do infrastruktury liniowej ochrony środowiska w regionach o dużym udziale obszarów prawnie chronionych
Authors: Witkowska-Dąbrowska Mirosława
Published: March 2016

Badania objęły obszar województwa warmińsko-mazurskiego, które charakteryzuje się dużym udziałem obszarów prawnie chronionych. Opierając się na danych statystycznych publikowanych przez GUS oraz danych GDOŚ i RDOŚ w Olsztynie przeprowadzono analizę poziomą i pionową uwzględniającą podział na gminy wiejskie, miejskie i miejsko-wiejskie. Analiza dotyczyła zmian w dostępie do infrastruktury liniowej ochrony środowiska oraz zmian w udziale obszarów prawnie chronionych w trzech typach gmin, w latach 2005–2012. W wyniku badań stwierdzono duże dysproporcje w dostępności do infrastruktury ochrony środowiska w trzech typach gmin. Dysproporcje, choć wolnym tempie zmniejszały się. Jednocześnie przy utrudnionym dostępie do infrastruktury ochrony środowiska w gminach wiejskich stwierdzono znacząco wyższe udziały obszarów prawnie chronionych niż w gminach miejskich i miejsko-wiejskich. Jednak dynamika zmian w przypadku obszarów prawnie chronionych charakteryzowała się stałym wynikiem od 2007 roku.
Mexicos MBA Programs: Seven Years Into NAFTA
Authors: Martinez Rutilio
Published: March 2016

In its first seven years the North American Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA, has generated growth and stability for the Mexican economy. As a result of this success, the demand for academically trained managers increased and enrollment in MBA programs almost quadrupled. Despite this remarkable growth in enrollment, the total student population in MBA programs is relatively small and their academic standards are rather low. It is expected, however, that as NAFTA and other similar treaties continue modernizing Mexicos economy, the academic standards will rise and enrollment will be in proportion to the size of the economy.
Will They Use What You Taught Them? Course-Embedded Assessment Of Accounting Students Information Technology Self-Efficacy
Authors: Moore John W. , Mitchem Cheryl E.
Published: March 2016

This paper provides a model of course-embedded assessment for use in an undergraduate Accounting Information Systems course, and reports the results obtained from implementation.  The profession’s educational objectives are mapped to specific computer skills and assignments, to provide direct evidence of learning outcomes.  Indirect evidence of learning is provided by data collected with computer self-efficacy instrumentation.  The paper addresses an important issue for persons entering the profession, in that they may have learned to use specific computer applications, but may lack the confidence in their own ability to use these skills.  This may impact their ability to gain employment, or to maintain employment in accounting.  The data collected may be employed to assess how well an AIS course supports the mission of its school, by demonstrating the acquisition of IT skills and the necessary self-efficacy to use those skills.

A Domain Specific Innovativeness Perspective Of Student Enrollment In New Major Offerings
Authors: O'Donnell Joseph , Sauer Paul
Published: March 2016

Colleges and universities have embraced educational innovation as a way to meet needs of students and provide flexibility in delivery of course content. Innovation includes launching new majors such as Digital Media Arts and Accounting Information Systems. Successful new majors must attract students to sustain the major and build a critical mass of students. Schools have often spent little time and effort on marketing new majors and targeting prospective students for the new major. It would be useful for schools to identify prospective students who are innovators, and more likely to enroll in new majors.  Prior research on adoption of educational innovations has focused on the educators accepting and implementing new approaches. There is a paucity of research on students’ adoption of educational innovations.  This study addresses this gap in the research Diffusion of Innovation research has identified that personal characteristics of the adopter influence the likelihood of if and when an individual will adopt an innovation. Goldsmith and Hofacker (1991) found that domain specific innovativeness (DSI) is a useful predictor for consumers purchasing new products. This study extends the application of the DSI scale to the student decision of whether to enroll or not to enroll in a new major. Two hundred and fifty-nine undergraduate business students enrolled in new and old majors were sampled in the study. Students completed a survey that included Goldsmith and Hofacker’s (1991) six item DSI scale adapted to the domain of new majors. Exploratory factor analysis identified that three of the six DSI items constituted a unidimensional scale which is consistent with Grewal, et. al (2000). The resulting scale demonstrated strong psychometric properties suggesting that the three item scale is well suited for measuring student innovativeness.  Study results suggest higher levels of DSI, math SAT score, and high school average for students selecting a new major.  Gender and verbal SAT scores do not differ significantly between new majors and old majors. The results of the study are useful to administrators interested in launching a new major and to academic researchers’ in understanding innovativeness in the context of students’ course of study decisions.
Using PHStat And Camtasia Studio 2 In Teaching Business Statistics
Authors: Patel Ranjna , Feinson Carla
Published: March 2016

More and more business professors are integrating technology into their courses to create a more stimulating learning environment and develop better communication channels between students and instructors. Online lessons, whether used as a study aid in the hybrid classroom or, as a complete package for the distance learner, create additional workloads for instructors who are willing to commit to the online environment. Any tool that can ease the creation process is a welcome addition to even the most technologically savvy professor. This paper shows how a statistics application program, such as PHStat, can be fully integrated into a complete online reenactment by using a video/sound capture program such as Camtasia Studio 2.
Evaluating An Online Learning Programme from Students Perspectives
Authors: Ogunleye Ayodele O.
Published: March 2016

Today, we are in an information age and the goal of education is to help teachers incorporate technology into the education curriculum This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of students’ participation in a blended first-class online programme for 40 practicing teachers and administrators in one of the colleges of the University of London with respect to sex, age and occupation. The study employed the use of a questionnaire, which was divided into four parts viz: Learning environment, Personal factors, Pedagogical strategies and Learning process. The major findings of the study showed that sex and age are the major variables that contribute to successful online learning, while participants’ occupations seem not to have any effect. Furthermore, online learning contributes more to the acquisition of the following skills with respect to age and sex: browsing and searching skills, information gathering skills, and library references searching skills. Online learning programs, however, do not generally contribute to arousing students’ interest. The implications of the findings were further discussed.
The Effects Of Using Collaborative Learning To Enhance Students English Speaking Achievement
Authors: Pattanpichet Fasawang
Published: March 2016

This experimental study aims to investigate the effects of using collaborative learning to enhance students speaking achievement. The study using a pre-test and post-test design was conducted with 35 undergraduate students enrolled in a fundamental English course at Bangkok University to examine their speaking achievement on an English oral test before and after they had participated in provided instructional tasks based on collaborative learning. To explore the students views on the use of the collaborative learning, all of the students were asked to complete a student diary after finishing each task, fill in a four scale-rating questionnaire and join a semi-structured interview at the end of the course. The data was analyzed by frequency, means, standard deviation, t-test, effect size (Hedges g) and content analysis. The findings reveal the improvement of the students speaking performance and positive feedback from the students on the use of collaborative learning activities. The study provides some pedagogical implications and suggestions for further investigations.
College Students Attitudes Toward Learning Process And Outcome Of Online Instruction And Distance Learning Across Learning Styles
Authors: Nguyen Dat-Dao , Zhang Yue Jeff
Published: March 2016

This study uses the Learning-Style Inventory LSI (Smith & Kolb, 1985) to explore to what extent student attitudes toward learning process and outcome of online instruction and Distance Learning are affected by their cognitive styles and learning behaviors. It finds that there are not much statistically significant differences in perceptions on many learning process and outcome indicators across learning styles. However, students who learn from concrete experience and reflective experimentation/observation didnt appreciate the flexible class schedule, need instant questions and feedback, and expect more leniency from the instructor.

Published: March 2016

Esta pesquisa buscou uma caracterização apropriada para a folksonomia em relação a sua inserção na Organização e Representação da Informação e na Organização e Representação do Conhecimento no escopo da Ciência da Informação. Por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, foi possível demonstrar que as folksonomias fazem parte, na Ciência da Informação, dos aportes teóricos da OI e RI. No contexto da OC e RC, as folksonomias compõem apenas os estudos da Organização Social do Conhecimento, o que é outro enfoque dos componentes da Organização do Conhecimento na CI. O trabalho considera também que as folksonomias e suas tags podem ser utilizadas como ferramentas auxiliares na elaboração de vocabulários controlados pelo Profissional da Informação.

Este trabalho apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa mais ampla que buscou verificar como ocorrem as buscas informacionais para realização de pesquisas acadêmicas de estudantes universitários dos cursos vinculados ao Instituto de Ciências Humanas e da Informação da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande, tendo como enfoque a competência informacional. Neste texto, focaliza-se a alfabetização digital, elemento importante e considerado inter-relacionado com a competência informacional. O estudo abrangeu uma amostra de 85 estudantes, sendo que sua metodologia constituiu-se de uma abordagem quanti-qualitativa. Os resultados mostraram que alguns estudantes julgam seu desempenho no uso de TIC como sendo entre ruim e péssimo. Já o acesso à internet é considerado entre ruim e péssimo por uma pequena parcela, enquanto a maioria aponta que saber utilizar o computador e a internet pode influenciar na realização de suas pesquisas. Percebeu-se em alguns investigados sentimentos de exclusão e identificou-se algum grau de dificuldade ou desconhecimento no uso de alguns recursos tecnológicos, como bases de dados e gestores de referências, entre outros. As dificuldades apresentadas pelos estudantes sugerem a necessidade de fomento à alfabetização digital e informacional, trabalhando-se, preferencialmente, com esses conceitos integrados.Abstract This paper presents results of a more extensive study that sought to evaluate how the informational searches occur in academic research by Instituto de Ciências Humanas e da Informação by Universidade Federal do Rio Grande focusing on the concept of information literacy. This text focuses on the digital literacy, which is considered an important element and is interrelated with the information literacy. The study covered a sample of 85 students and the methodology had a quantitative and qualitative approach. Among the youngers who answered the questionnaire, 34 consider they have good performance using a computer and 28 using the internet, between the age group above 30 years, nine considered having a reasonable performance in computer use and 12 believe they have a good performance using the internet. A significant portion of the students considers yourself good accessing the internet. It was noticed exclusion feelings in some students investigated. Most students believe that knowing how to use the computer and internet will influence in their research. Most reported having difficulty or ignorance in the use of reference managers, databases, and application programs, however, they said had no difficulty in using e- mail , social networking and library catalogs. The difficulties presented by the students suggest the need for promotion of digital and information literacy, preferably by working with the integration of these concepts.KeywordsInformation literacy.

O papel da biblioteca comunitária na construção dos direitos humanos
Authors: Salcedo Diego Andres , Alves Mariana
Published: March 2016

Pressupõe que a biblioteca comunitária, denominada aqui como instituição de educação não formal, busca emancipar os indivíduos da comunidade em que está inserida. Para isso, promove e provê acesso ao livro, a literatura e cria condições de práticas e mediação de leitura. Para fins da pesquisa, então, foi feito um trabalho exploratório de cunho qualitativo, dividido em três etapas: revisão bibliográfica, observação e entrevista. Focou a pesquisa na Biblioteca Comunitária Caranguejo Tabaiares, localizada numa favela do bairro do Recife. Verificou que as atividades de leitura literária proporcionaram alfabetização das crianças; apropriação da escrita pelos moradores e mediadores; consciência social e ambiental; contato com a língua estrangeira francesa e aspectos culturais da França. Constatou que esse tipo de atividade social cria as condições à emancipação e profissionalização dos mediadores envolvidos. Concluiu que não, apenas, é notória a perseverança diante das dificuldades econômico-sociais ou a crença numa militância pelo gosto da leitura e emergência dos afetos, mas, particularmente, que trata de uma ação coletiva em prol dos Direitos Humanos.Abstract:Assumes that the community library, named here as non-formal education institution, seeks to emancipate individuals from the community in which it operates, with practices that promote human rights. For this, promotes and provides access to books, literature and creates conditions and practices in reading mediation. For purposes of research, then, was made an exploratory qualitative work, divided into three stages: literature review, observation and interview. The research was focused at the Crab Tabaiares Community Library, located in a slum neighborhood at Recife. Found that the literature reading activities provided literacy of children; written appropriation by the residents and mediators; social and environmental awareness; contact with the French foreign language and cultural aspects of France. Verified that this type of social activity creates the conditions for emancipation and professionalization of the mediators involved. Concluded that not only is remarkable the perseverance in the face of economic and social difficulties or belief in militancy of reading taste and emergency affections, but particularly it is a collective action on behalf of Human Rights.Keywords:Caranguejo Tabaiares Communitiy Library.

Published: March 2016

A evolução do conceito de projetos e o desenvolvimento e aceitação das metodologias e abordagens para seu planejamento e gerenciamento tem permitido sua aplicabilidade a diferentes áreas, realidades e culturas organizacionais. A busca por métodos e ferramentas capazes de conduzir seus projetos a um final bem-sucedido, a exemplo de um periódico científico, tem motivado muitas organizações a buscar, nas boas práticas de gestão de projetos, um melhor planejamento e gerenciamento. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o processo de produção de um periódico científico sob a ótica da gestão de projetos. Foi desenvolvido um estudo de caso único que verificou a aplicação dos processos de gestão de escopo, prazo e custo do projeto de produção de uma revista científica de especialidade médica. Como resultados, destaca-se que, mesmo não tendo conhecimento das boas práticas de gestão de projetos, a organização aplica algumas de suas ferramentas de maneira informal e embrionária. Foram identificados pontos que merecem atenção, pois impactam no atraso da veiculação da Revista. Proposições de melhorias foram apresentadas por meio da aplicação da metodologia da gestão de projetos, o que poderá contribuir para um melhor planejamento e gerenciamento do projeto.Abstract: The advancement of the concept of projects and the development and acceptation of methodologies and approaches for its planning and management, has permitted its applicability in different areas, realities and organizational cultures. The search for methods and instruments capable of conducting your project to a successful accomplishment, e.g. a scientific journal, has motivated many organizations to enhance planning and management by resorting to good project management practices. In this context, the objective of this paper is to analyze the process of making a scientific journal within a perspective of project management. A case study was developed that verified the application of management processes of scope, deadline and costs of the project of producing a specialized medical scientific journal. Within the results, emphasis goes to the fact that despite not having information about good project management practices, the organization applies some of its tools informally and embryonically. Some elements that impact on the delay of the magazines diffusion were identified as in need of enhancement. Improvement proposals were presented by applying project management methodologies that can contribute with enriched planning and project management.  Keywords: Scientific Journal. Editing.

El Principio de Pareto en el control documental de programas informativos televisivos
Authors: Caldera-Serrano Jorge
Published: March 2016

Se analiza la reutilización de las colecciones audiovisuales de las cadenas de televisión con el fin de detectar si se cumple el Índice de Pareto, facilitando mecanismos para su control y explotación de la parte de la colección audiovisual menos utilizada. Se detecta que la correlación de Pareto se establece no sólo en el uso sino también en la presencia de elementos temáticos y elementos onomásticos en el archivo y en la difusión de contenidos, por lo que se plantea formas de control en la integración de información en la colección y de recursos en la difusión. Igualmente se describe el Índice de Pareto, los Media Asset Management y el cambio de paradigma al digital, elementos fundamentales para entender los problemas y las soluciones para la eliminación de problemas en la recuperación y en la conformación de la colección.Abstract: Reuse of audiovisual collections television networks in order to detect whether the Pareto index, providing mechanisms for control and exploitation of the least used part of the audiovisual collection holds analyzed. It is found that the correlation of Pareto is established not only in the use but also the presence of thematic elements and onomastic elements in the file and in the distribution of content, so forms of control arises in the integration of information collection and distributing resources. Likewise, the Pareto index, the Media Asset Management and the paradigm shift to digital, essential to understanding the problems and solutions to eliminate problems in recovery and in the establishment of collection elements described.Keywords:  Information processing.

Objetivo: Determinar la influencia de factores climáticos y del fenómeno El Niño 1997 – 1998 en la epidemiología de la bartonelosis en Ancash y Cusco, Perú. Materiales y Métodos: Se desarrolló un estudio ecológico. Se obtuvo información mensual climática de Urubamba y Carhuaz del SENAMHI, así como reporte de casos mensuales confirmados de la OGE, entre 1996 y 1999. Resultados: En los departamentos de Ancash y Cusco los coeficientes de correlación para los parámetros ambientales locales (temperatura máxima, media y mínima mensual, y precipitación total) no fueron estadísticamente significativos, mientras que la Temperatura Superficial del Mar fue el mejor parámetro que correlacionó con la tasa de incidencia de la bartonelosis, tanto a nivel local como regional. La tasa de incidencia de bartonelosis fue estadísticamente superior durante El Niño 1997 – 1998 en Ancash y Cusco, de manera simultanea. Conclusiones: Los incrementos significativos en la tasa de incidencia de bartonelosis durante El Niño en departamentos tan distantes como Ancash y Cusco de manera simultanea, evidencian que los factores climatológicos y el fenómeno El Niño modifican la epidemiología de la Bartonelosis humana.

Objetivo: Evaluar la calidad de los formatos de consentimiento médico informado para cirugía mayor utilizados en los diferentes servicios de los hospitales de nivel III–IV de Lima y Callao. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, cualitativo y transversal. Obtenidos los formatos de consentimiento médico informado para cirugía mayor utilizados en los servicios de los hospitales de nivel III – IV del Lima y Callao; se evaluó su calidad contrastándolos con una plantilla de requisitos elaborada con base en la literatura. Resultados: De los 28 formatos de consentimiento médico informado para cirugía mayor de 20 hospitales de nivel III–IV en Lima y Callao evaluados, 14,2% cumplían con más del 75% de los requisitos; 57,2%, con 75-50%; y 28,6%, con menos del 50%. Los requisitos acerca del procedimiento y sus características estuvieron ausentes en más del 75% de los formatos. Los formatos de los hospitales pertenecientes al Ministerio de Salud (MINSA) cumplieron en promedio con 12 requisitos (rango 4-21); los de las Fuerzas Armadas (FFAA), con 17 (rango 14-18); y los del EsSALUD, con 18 (rango16-22). Conclusiones: Los formatos de CMI de los servicios de los hospitales de nivel III–IV de Lima Callao evaluados no presentan uniformidad entre ellos y no garantizan que el paciente ha sido completa y correctamente informado ni que se ha respetado su autonomía en la toma de decisión. Los formatos de CMI del MINSA fueron los más deficientes y los que presentaron mayor variabilidad de calidad. Se propone un modelo de CMI para ser tomado como base por los diferentes servicios de hospitales para la elaboración de futuros CMI.

Se reportan dos casos de enfermedad de Graves relacionados con sindrome de Reconstitución Inmune en dos pacientes infectados con VIH luego de iniciar la terapia antiretroviral de gran actividad (TARGA). Se revisaron las historias clínicas de los pacientes y se hizo una revisión bibliográfica. Dos pacientes con historia de infección por VIH desarrollaron pérdida de peso, taquicardia, tremor en la manos y diarrea, luego de 30 y 48 meses después de iniciado tratamiento TARGA con zidovudina, lamivudina y atazanavir. Al momento de desarrollar este problema su conteo de células CD4 estaba en rangos de normalidad y su carga viral estaba en niveles indetectables. En el examen Físico se detectó un aumento de volumen de la glándula tiroides. Los niveles de tirotropina estaban suprimidos y los niveles de tiroxina libre elevados; se detectó niveles positivos de anticuerpos anti-TPO. Ambos pacientes mejoraron con el tratamiento metimazol y atenolol. La enfermedad de Graves ha sido reportada como complicación inusual en pacientes VIH como reconstitución Inmune luego del inicio de TARGA. Estos dos pacientes muestran un cuadro compatible.
