impacts from the (dis)satisfaction of information needs for decision making concerning strategic planning of a public organization
Authors: Cruz Felipe Lopes , Fernandes Jorge Henrique Cabral
Published: October 2019

This article presents the results of a study conducted in the framework of the doctoral thesis that investigates the impacts from the (dis) satisfaction of information needs for decision making concerning strategic planning of a public organization. The research strategy adopted was the case study, involving the use of sequential methods of approach in the search for convergence and triangulation of data from different sources of evidence. The first phase consisted of document analysis, and the second expansion and validation of findings through in-depth interviews and participant observation third. Grounded in literature from the areas of Administration, Public Management and Information Science, notably, the last one, with regard to the model of information use within the ‘knowledge organizations’ proposed by Choo, investigations were carried out with the actors involved in context studied to understand the problems related to the need of information relating to strategic planning. We identified the steps and decisions related to the construction process of organizational strategy, the main difficulties of the builders of the strategic planning, focusing on the problems of information, as well as the strategies used to circumvent the unfavorable scenarios originated by informational deficiencies associated with the decision. The study shows that the unavailability of the necessary information, the lack of technical knowledge of those responsible for the search and presentation of information, associated with low quality of information obtained were the most relevant information problems. Furthermore, it is shown that, to achieve make decisions in situations where there were informational deficiencies, the stakeholders developed boundary strategies outline how decisions on grounds of personal experience (empiricism), generalization, interpretation (subjective) and indirect use of information.

Rektor C.J.L. Almqvist och personlighetsprincipen
Authors: Ullman Annika
Published: October 2019

Principal C.J.L. Almqvist and the principle of personalityThe Swedish author and visionary Carl Jonas Love Almqvist (1793–1866) was the principal for twelve years (1829–1841) of the government-initiated pilot school ”Nya Elementarskolan” (New Elementary School) in Stockholm. In this position, he argued that both the school and the state should be built on the same basic idea: the right of individual freedom. This argument is often referred to as ”personlighetsprincipen” (the principle of personality), a concept launched by another prominent figure of the liberal culture of the time, Erik Gustaf Geijer (1783–1847). This article explores how the principle of personality is expressed in the texts of Almqvist and is mainly built upon the concept’s allegorical resources. It examines the thesis that Almqvist’s use of the term is best understood if one distinguishes between the political, pedagogical, and existential dimension of the concept. The article ends with some thoughts about the context of the concept and a discussion on whether Almqvist had a greater interest in personalities than in principles.
Ett nationellt metasystem för utbildning och fostran i Tornedalen
Authors: Elenius Lars
Published: October 2019

A national metasystem for education and fostering in TornedalenA national interacting metasystem of national education and fostering developed in the Finnish speaking region Tornedalen in northern Sweden from the late 19th century to the 1950s. It was not formally agreed as a deliberate education system, but was more of a tacit understanding of a common nationalistic goal within different educational institutions such as primary schools, the residential industrial schools [arbetsstugor], the folk high-schools and the different forms of explicit military education. The aim was to help the poor region economically, to spread the Swedish language and culture in the area, to break the isolation of the region through education and to integrate this geopolitically sensitive border region into the nation. The integrative phase of Swedish nationalism was a common denominator. Leading persons in the educational and fostering activities were many times the same persons. There was a consensus over party lines about the need of acculturation and assimilation of the Tornedalians. The school, the nation and the family was regarded as central concepts in the fostering of the minority into Swedish citizens. By regarding the educations in Tornealen as a metasystem of ideological influences you get an imagination of the ideological power single educations gets when interconnected as a system.
The Economy of Scandinavian-American Exchange: Donations and Scholarships in the American-Scandinavian Foundation, 1912–1995
Authors: Mays Christin , Åkerlund Andreas
Published: October 2019

The importance of philanthropy for academic exchange cannot be overestimated. Especially in the first half of the twentieth century, scholarships for academic exchange originated from the private sector instead of the state. But what is the relationship between academic exchange and the donations which finance scholarships? How can specific donations and the restrictions placed on them change the flow of exchange? This article investigates donation and scholarship praxis within the American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) from 1912–1995, a philanthropic organisation devoted to academic exchange between Scandinavia and the United States. The period, 1912–1944, is characterised by various small donations and few scholarships to mostly American fellows. The second period, 1945–1995, represents an era of economic growth created from a surge in large, restricted donations invested in scholarship funds. This led to an increased number of scholarships to a more geographically diverse population.
For Goodwill, Aid and Economic Growth: The Funding of Academic Exchange Through the Swedish Institute, 1945–2010
Authors: Åkerlund Andreas
Published: October 2019

The article investigates the financial basis of state-sponsored international academic exchange through the Swedish Institute (SI). Founded in 1945 the SI is the main institution for Swedish public diplomacy and is as such part of modern foreign policy and Swedish soft power. This article maps the changing sources of funding as well as the sums spent on academic exchange from 1945–2010. It also discusses the various forms of exchange programs and gives an overview of the ideas behind and arguments for such programs. The overall picture is that state-sponsored exchange after 1945 has expanded. Not only has more and more money been spent on exchange, which led to an increase in the number of persons benefitted, but there has also been a diversification in exchange schemes towards parallel programs, each designed to fulfill a certain task. Though they fund different parts of the SI exchange scheme, the main sources of funding, however, have remained the same: the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, various development assistance agencies and programs as well as the Ministry for Education.
Curriculum History in Europe: A Historiographic Added Value
Authors: Tröhler Daniel
Published: October 2019

This article advocates for a particular understanding of curriculum history that enables educational research to emancipate itself from national idiosyncrasies. It suggests focusing, in the frame of a cultural history, on the interrelation between the constitutions, which define the ideal social order and the envisaged ideal citizens, and the curriculum, which provides “educational opportunities” – that is, pre-organised or preconfigured pathways of educational careers. The article thereby stresses that the fundamental notions of this research program – nation, society, and citizen – need to be handled as floating signifiers that are materialised differently in the various individual nation-states. The article argues that against this background, a European education history that respects national or cultural distinctions without getting trapped by national idiosyncrasies is possible.
Regional Differentiation and National Uniformity: Norwegian Elementary School Legislation in the Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Century
Authors: Skinningsrud Tone , Skjelmo Randi
Published: October 2019

Previous research on Norwegian educational reforms after 1814, the year when Norway became a constitutional state, has emphasized the conservatism of the elementary education acts of 1816 and 1827. Contrary to expectations for a constitutional state, these acts did not reflect a concern for fostering politically active citizens. Neither did they follow up the enlightenment idea of teaching secular knowledge to the common people. We raise a new question concerning post-1814 educational legislation in Norway: was there an increased emphasis on national uniformity after 1814? A close reading of the earlier 1739/41 acts and the 1827 act, including the Plan and Instruction from 1834, studies of the debates in the Norwegian Parliament 1815–1827 and the temporary 1816 act on elementary education, show that policy after 1814 emphasised national uniformity more than before. Despite continued local funding of elementary schooling, national policy and legislation promoted uniformity.
”En ny musikuppfostran”: Reformpedagogiska anspråk i Siljanskolans bildningsinnehåll
Authors: Liljas Juvas Marianne
Published: October 2019

”A new form of musical upbringing”: Pretenses of reform pedagogy content in the Siljan schoolIn this article, I describe the Siljan school in Tällberg as a Swedish example of alternative pedagogy. The overall questions relate to the reform pedagogy content of the school and its ability to give Swedish music teaching a new form of musical upbringing. An important issue is how the Siljan school as a model for Swedish reform has been inspired by the reform pedagogy movements in USA and Germany. The analysis is thus based on the Alm couple’s ability to give the school an international character which shines light on Swedish reforms in the greater context of reform pedagogy. With its basis in discursive education of the 1930s, two main questions are discussed: what perspective on musical education can be identified in the personal development ethos of the Siljan school? How can the school’s relation to the reform pedagogy music movement during the start of the 1900s be understood? From a hermeneutic perspective, the article contributes by investigating how the Siljan school can have affected decisions in education politics, Swedish schooling, and Swedish musical life. In summary, the article contributes with new knowledge on a chapter in the history of Swedish music pedagogy.
Silvi-kulturella möten: Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet och högre skoglig utbildning i Etiopien 1986–2009
Authors: Bruno Karl
Published: October 2019

Silvi-Cultural Encounters: The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Higher Forestry Education in Ethiopia, 1986–2009The article discusses the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences’ support to higher forestry education in Ethiopia, which took place between 1986 and 2009 in the context of Swedish-Ethiopian development cooperation. Against a growing historical interest in transnational encounters within the field of education, it analyses how Swedish forestry experts designed educational programs and taught in new environments. The concept of “silvi-culture” is introduced to signify that the tensions that arose within this aid effort related both to the technicalities of forestry education and to diverging academic and social cultures. The article is structured around three kinds of “silvi-cultural encounters” that describe the development of the project both chronologically and thematically. These encounters are used to demonstrate how the forest as a concrete, physical place was of central importance to the Swedish experts, as well as to show how they were guided by preconceptions developed within the framework of a Swedish silvi-culture that was only partially compatible with the conditions in Ethiopia.
In-between “Swedish Gymnastics” and “Deutsche Turnkunst”: Educating “National” Citizens through Physical Education in Switzerland in the Last Decades of the Nineteenth Century
Authors: Brühwiler Ingrid
Published: October 2019

In Switzerland, physical education was as important as it was in other European countries during the last decades of the nineteenth century. Different visions of physical education were adapted to the Swiss context to promote national citizens that were strong and healthy and thus capable of protecting their fatherland. Discussions of Per Henrik Ling’s “Swedish system” and Friedrich Ludwig Jahn’s “Deutsche Turnkunst,” both of which were adapted in the francophone and the germanophone parts of Switzerland, dominated the discourse. Until the end of the nineteenth century, patriotic ideals permeated the army-ruled physical education, although methodology and health topics were discussed as well. The national and civic aims of physical education were the same for girls and boys, with one very important exception: boys were prepared for military service, whereas girls were primarily prepared to be good future mothers.
Narratives of Sámi School History in Finland: The Histories of Assimilation Made Visible
Authors: Nyyssönen Jukka
Published: October 2019

This article analyses narratives that have been produced about the Sámi school experience in Finland. The sources consist of studies in Sámi school history and history of education in Finland, as well as in pedagogical studies made since the 1980s, comparing the narratives found in each case. The narrative of assimilation dominates the field for good, historically verifiable reasons. This genre of studies is contextualised and discussed in relation to the national development of Sámi tuition, the Sámi movement and international studies of history of education. The late emergence of this genre in Finland is evident in the approaches to bringing these affecting and usable histories to light, while the multiplicity of the historical voices in this field is only now emerging.

Avaliação da importância do sistema porta-renal em papagaios (Amazona aestiva)
Authors: Cruz Mariângela Lozano , Luna Stelio Pacca Loureiro , Castro Gladys Bastos , Massone Flávio , Teixeira Neto Francisco José
Published: October 2019

Quando um medicamento é administrado na musculatura da coxa de uma ave, é absorvido por capilares da região, o fluxo sangüíneo atinge a veia ilíaca externa, que possui uma válvula porta renal na altura do rim. Esta válvula é controlada pelo sistema nervoso autônomo, podendo estar aberta ou fechada, dependendo de estímulo simpático ou parassimpático, respectivamente. Quando aberta, o fluxo sangüíneo vai para a veia cava através da veia renal e atinge a circulação sistêmica. Porém, quando a válvula está fechada, o fluxo sangüíneo vai para o parênquima renal adicionando-se ao sangue arterial e, conseqüentemente, o medicamento administrado pode ser eliminado pelo rim, antes de atingir a circulação sistêmica. O objetivo desse experimento foi avaliar a eficácia da quetamina • administrada na musculatura da coxa ou do peito em papagaios. Foram utilizados 6 papagaios (Amazona aestiva), os quais foram anestesiados com 30 mg/kg de quetamina pela via intramuscular no peito (G I, n=6) ou na coxa (G2 n=6), utilizando-se os mesmos animais nos dois grupos. Foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: tempo da aplicação do fármaco ao decúbito, período de latência, período de duração anestésica e período de recuperação. Não foi constatada nenhuma diferença estatística significativa entre os grupos, porém, em G2, dois animais foram descartados da análise estatística por não manifestarem sinais clínicos de anestesia, provavelmente por uma subdose relativa, isto é, parte da quetamina pode ter sido eliminada com a participação do sistema porta renal, antes de atingir a circulação sistêmica, o que sugere que a musculatura da coxa deve ser evitada quando se utilizam fármacos que são excretados "in-natura" pelos rins.

Published: October 2019

O presente estudo teve como objetivo a utilização e correlação das classificações citohisto16gicas de Rappaport, Kiel, Lukes-Collins e Working Formulation, para a classificação dos linfomas não-Hodgkin caninos. Os resultados demonstraram que as classificações citohistol6gicas utilizadas em seres humanos podem ser aplicadas aos cães, em virtude das semelhanças da neoplasia em ambas as espécies. A maior freqüência foi a de linfomas de grau intermediário (52%), seguindo-se a dos de baixo grau (28,6%) e a dos de alto grau (19,4%). Quanto ao grau de malignidade, os linfomas demonstraram prevalência para um tipo celular em cada categoria, sendo a maior ocorrência do tipo Linfocítico células pequenas (17,4%) nos linfomas de baixo grau. Os resultados, referentes ao tipo celular mais freqüente para Linfomas de grau intermediário e de alto grau, demonstraram um percentual de 22,5% de linfomas do tipo difuso células pequenas c1ivadas e 11,2% do tipo imunoblástico, respectivamente. Diante dos resultados obtidos concluiu-se que os linfomas de grau intermediário são os de maior ocorrência, havendo um tipo celular de maior prevalência dentro de cada grau de malignidade.

Abstract

Public services are all activities in order to fulfill basic needs in accordance with the basic rights of every citizen and resident of an item, service and / or administrative service provided by service providers related to the public interest. Communities as customers have needs and expectations in the performance of professional public service providers. The task of the Central Government and Regional Government is to provide public services that are able to satisfy the public. The implementation of decentralization and regional autonomy policies in Indonesia has resulted in regional governments having responsibility and authority in determining minimum service standards. The fundamental problems in the process of public service in Indonesia are about ethics. There is no universal standard on norms or ethics and sanctions that specifically regulate violations committed by the authorities in public services.

The photoactive ligands feature non-aromatic ethene bridges (cyclopentene, cyclopentenone, and cyclohexenone), as well as closely spaced photoactive and metal coordination sites aiming a strong impact of photocyclization on the electronic structure of the coordinated metal ion. The ligands with cyclopentenone and cyclohexenone bridges show good cycloreversion quantum yields of 0.20–0.32. The thermal stability of closed-ring isomers reveals half-lives of up to 20 days in solution at room temperature. The ligands were used to explore coordination chemistry with iron(II) targeting photoswitchable spin-crossover complexes. Unexpectedly, dinuclear and tetranuclear iron(II) complexes were obtained, which were thoroughly characterized by X-ray crystallography, magnetic measurements, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The formation of multinuclear complexes is facilitated by two coordination sites of the diarylethene, acting as a bridging ligand. The bridging nature of the diarylethene in the complexes prevents photocyclization.

In this paper, large-area magnetic-plasmonic Ni@Au core–shell nanoparticle arrays (NPAs) with tunable compositions were successfully fabricated by direct laser interference ablation (DLIA) incorporated with thermal dewetting method. The magnetic properties of the Ni@Au core–shell NPAs were analyzed and the saturation magnetization (Ms) of the Ni80@Au20 nanoparticles was found higher than that of nickel-only nanoparticles with the same diameter. The surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) property of the Ni@Au core–shell NPAs was then examined using the Rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a Raman reporter molecule and a SERS enhancement factor of 2.5×106 was achieved on the Ni50@Au50 NPA substrate, which was of 9 times higher than that for Au nanoparticles with the same size distribution. It was due to the enhanced local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) between the ferromagnetic Ni cores and the surface polariton of Au shells of each nanoparticle. The fabrication of the Ni@Au core–shell NPAs with different compositions offers a new avenue to tailor the optical and magnetic properties of the nanostructured films for chemical and diagnostic applications.
The Response to and Cost of Meningococcal Disease Outbreaks in University Campus Settings: A Case Study in Oregon, United States
Authors: Candrilli Sean D. , Kurosky Samantha
Published: October 2019

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a contagious bacterial infection that can occur sporadically in healthy individuals. Symptoms are typically similar to other common diseases, which can result in delayed diagnosis and treatment until patients are critically ill. In the United States, IMD outbreaks are rare and unpredictable. During an outbreak, rapidly marshalling the personnel and monetary resources to respond is paramount to controlling disease spread. If a community lacks necessary resources for a quick and efficient outbreak response, the resulting economic cost can be overwhelming.
We developed a conceptual framework of activities implemented by universities, health departments, and community partners when responding to university-based IMD outbreaks. Next, cost data collected from public sources and interviews were applied to the conceptual framework to estimate the economic cost, both direct and indirect, of a university-based IMD outbreak. We used data from two recent university outbreaks in Oregon as case studies.
Findings indicate a university-based IMD outbreak response relies on coordination between health care providers/insurers, university staff, media, government, and volunteers, along with many other community members. The estimated economic cost was $12.3 million, inclusive of the cost of vaccines ($7.35 million). Much of the total cost was attributable to wrongful death and indirect costs (e.g., productivity loss resulting from death). Understanding the breadth of activities and the economic cost of such a response may inform budgeting for future outbreak preparedness and development of alternative strategies to prevent and/or control IMD.

Objects gravitationally captured by the Earth–Moon system are commonly called temporarily captured orbiters (TCOs), natural Earth satellites, or minimoons. TCOs are a crucially important subpopulation of near-Earth objects (NEOs) to understand because they are the easiest targets for future sample-return, redirection, or asteroid mining missions. Only one TCO has ever been observed telescopically, 2006 RH
120, and it orbited Earth for about 11 months. Additionally, only one TCO fireball has ever been observed prior to this study. We present our observations of an extremely slow fireball (codename DN160822_03) with an initial velocity of around 11.0 km s−1 that was detected by six of the high-resolution digital fireball observatories located in the South Australian region of the Desert Fireball Network. Due to the inherent dynamics of the system, the probability of the meteoroid being temporarily captured before impact is extremely sensitive to its’ initial velocity. We examine the sensitivity of the fireball’s orbital history to the chosen triangulation method. We use the numerical integrator REBOUND to assess particle histories and assess the statistical origin of DN160822_03. From our integrations we have found that the most probable capture time, velocity, semimajor axis, NEO group, and capture mechanism vary annually for this event. Most particles show that there is an increased capture probability during Earth’s aphelion and perihelion. In the future, events like these may be detected ahead of time using telescopes like the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, and the pre-atmospheric trajectory can be verified.

We explore the long-term evolution of a bias-free orbital representation of the cometary nuclei (with diameters above 2 km) of the Kuiper Belt, using the so-called L7 synthetic model from CFEPS, which consists of three dynamical subpopulations: the Classical, the Resonant, and the Scattering. The dynamical evolution of belt particles is studied under the gravitational influence of the Sun and the four giant planets, as well as of the 34 largest known trans-Neptunian objects (i.e., those with H

V
 < 4). Here, we indistinctly call Dwarf Planets (DPs) to the full sample of 34 large TNOs. Over a 1 Gyr timescale, we analyze the secular influence of the DPs over Kuiper Belt disk particles and their contribution to the injection rate of new visible Jupiter Family Comets (JFCs). We find that DPs globally increase the number of JFCs by 12.6%, when compared with the comets produced by the giant planets alone. When considering each population separately, we find the increment produced by DPs to be 17%, 12%, and 3% for the Classical, Resonant, and Scattering populations, respectively. Given the rate of escapes from the Kuiper Belt, we find upper limits to the number of objects in each population required to maintain the JFCs in steady state; the results are 55.9 × 106, 78.5 × 106, and 274.3 × 106 for the Scattering, Resonant, and Classical populations, respectively. Finally, we find that the Plutinos are the most important source of comets that were originally in a resonant configuration, where the presence of Pluto alone enhances by 10% the number of JFCs.

We present an analysis of the time-averaged spectrum of the Seyfert-2 active galaxy NGC 4388, obtained by NICER. The intrinsic strength of the reflection spectrum in NGC 4388, the large collecting area and favorable passband of NICER, and a net exposure of 105.6 ks yielded an exceptionally sensitive spectrum. Using two independent families of models, the intrinsic spectrum from the central engine is found to be highly obscured but not Compton-thick. Enforcing physical self-consistency within each model, the independent treatments give formally consistent results:

or

. Past measurements made with Suzaku and XMM-Newton are in broad agreement with these column density values. A more recent measurement with NuSTAR (in late 2013) recorded a column density about twice as large; the robustness of this variability is reinforced by the use of consistent models and procedures. The neutral Fe Kα line in the NICER spectrum is nominally resolved and consistent with an origin in the optical broad-line region). The data also require ionized absorption in the Fe K band, similar to the “warm absorbers” detected in Seyfert-1 active galactic nuclei. The low-energy spectrum is consistent with a set of ionized plasma components. We discuss these findings and note that the geometric inferences that derive from this analysis can be tested with XRISM and Athena.
Mitigating Internal Instrument Coupling for 21 cm Cosmology. I. Temporal and Spectral Modeling in Simulations

We study the behavior of internal signal chain reflections and antenna cross coupling as systematics for 21 cm cosmological surveys. We outline the mathematics for how these systematics appear in interferometric visibilities and describe their phenomenology. We then describe techniques for modeling and removing these systematics without attenuating the 21 cm signal in the data. This has critical implications for low-frequency radio surveys aiming to characterize the 21 cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) and Cosmic Dawn, as systematics can cause bright foreground emission to contaminate the EoR window and prohibit a robust detection. We also quantify the signal loss properties of the systematic modeling algorithms, and show that our techniques demonstrate resistance against EoR signal loss. In a companion paper, we demonstrate these methods on data from the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array as a proof-of-concept.
Multiple-point Modeling the Parker Spiral Configuration of the Solar Wind Magnetic Field at the Solar Maximum of Solar Cycle 24

By assuming that the solar wind flow is spherically symmetric and that the flow speed becomes constant beyond some critical distance r = R
0 (neglecting solar gravitation and acceleration by high coronal temperature), the large-scale solar wind magnetic field lines are distorted into a Parker spiral configuration, which is usually simplified to an Archimedes spiral. Using magnetic field observations near Mercury, Venus, and Earth during solar maximum of Solar Cycle 24, we statistically surveyed the Parker spiral angles and obtained the empirical equations of the Archimedes and Parker spirals by fitting the multiple-point results. We found that the solar wind magnetic field configurations are slightly different during different years. Archimedes and Parker spiral configurations are quite different from each other within 1 au. Our results provide empirical Archimedes and Parker spiral equations that depend on the solar wind velocity and the critical distance (R
0). It is inferred that R
0 is much larger than that previously assumed. In the near future, the statistical survey of the near-Sun solar wind velocity by Parker Solar Probe can help verify this result.
