Adverse drug reactions reporting among nursing staff and students: a validated questionnaire based knowledge, attitude and practice study
Authors: K Lohit , A. Leena , Maria Jose , Pandit Amruta A.
Published: February 2017

Background: Lack of knowledge regarding pharmacovigilance and adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting among healthcare providers have been identified as major factors for under reporting of ADR in developing countries. Hence this study was planned to assess the knowledge and attitude of nursing faculty and students towards ADR reporting and also to determine the barriers to reporting ADR.Methods: A validated questionnaire based cross sectional study conducted among the nursing faculty and students in a tertiary health care center. Data was assessed by frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS version 22.Results: The composite score on knowledge on ADR reporting was found to be moderate among nursing staff, GNM and BSc nursing students. The knowledge on burden due to ADR was found to be poor among all the three categories. Around 70% of all the respondents were of the opinion that ADR reporting by one person can make a significant difference to the community. More than 80% of nursing staff and GNM students opined one should have a suspicion of possible ADR during treatment. Majority of the nursing staff were in favour of mandatory and voluntary ADR reporting in the hospital.Conclusions: The nurses were only moderately aware of pharmacovigilance and adverse drug reaction reporting. Though the attitude towards ADR reporting was adequate, our study has shown that the actual practice of ADR reporting is unsatisfactory. Hence, it is essential to include pharmacovigilance training in the undergraduate teaching programs of nurses to promote reporting of adverse reactions.

La Evolución del Mestizaje en la Nueva España. Las aportaciones recientes de la historia demográfica
Authors: Vallet Chantal Cramaussel
Published: February 2017

Resumo: no século XVII foi configurado um segmento da sociedade colonial da Nova Espanha de sangue misturado, designado como mestiço ou mulato, que eram categorias equivalentes. As pessoas que integravam esses grupos aparentemente se multiplicaram muito rápido

em detrimento dos índios. Mas essa rápida mestiçagem não era biológica. Quando os índios deixavam seus povos e se incorporavam às fazendas para estarem livres dos tributos, eles e seus filhos adquiriam a categorização de mestiços ou mulatos. Outros se juntaram a pessoas

de outras classes e surgiram assim, famílias pluriétnicas cujos filhos possuíam fenótipos e categorizações diferentes entre si. Ao final da época colonial, caiu em desuso a categoria de mulato e a sociedade se dividiu em índios, mestiços e espanhóis. A divisão entre pessoas “de

razão” e índios ou índios e “vizinhos” é uma herança colonial que permanece até hoje em muitas regiões indígenas do México.

Published: February 2017

Atualmente, milhões de indivíduos praticam o mergulho autônomo recreativo em busca de prazer na observação e interação com a flora, fauna, geologia e arqueologia submarinas. A prática do mergulho autônomo motiva inúmeras viagens com pernoite fora do entorno habitual do mergulhador, dando origem ao chamado turismo de mergulho (autônomo). Esse segmento da atividade turística tem crescido substancialmente, oferecendo oportunidades e ameaças relevantes para empresas e destinos turísticos. Portanto, entender o comportamento de viagens dos turistas do segmento de mergulho autônomo pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento social e econômico, favorecendo também a preservação ambiental. O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o comportamento de viagem do turista de mergulho brasileiro. A análise, de abordagem quantitativa, foi feita a partir de questionários aplicados a 171 mergulhadores do país. Com base nesses dados e na revisão bibliográfica realizada, este trabalho traz sugestões para o aproveitamento do potencial turístico de destinos com vistas a otimizar os benefícios oferecidos pela atividade.

Authors: Rodrigues Luana De Oliveira , Gama Sonia Vidal Gomes , Chirol Achilles D'Ávila
Published: February 2017

Distrito de Angra dos Reis, a Ilha Grande, situa-se no litoral sul fluminense. Protegida por diferentes Unidades de Conservação, abriga reservas naturais relativamente preservadas onde o turismo é a principal atividade econômica com destaque para a visitação por trilhas terrestres ou por rotas marítimas. O presente estudo tem como objetivo identificar as potencialidades e fragilidades ambientais no percurso entre as enseadas de Abraão e Lopes Mendes em relação ao uso atual com ênfase na prática do trekking ou caminhada cujo ponto de atração é a Praia de Lopes Mendes na costa oceânica. O diagnóstico de campo fundamentado por Santos (2004) e Ross (2006), investigou a ocorrência de impactos nas trilhas (compactação e impermeabilização dos solos, alteração do escoamento superficial, inibição do restabelecimento da vegetação nas margens da trilha, exposição de raízes, remoção dos solos, ausência de serapilheira, diminuição da cobertura vegetal ao longo do eixo da trilha, abertura de clareiras e processos erosivos) e o perfil dos visitantes e usuários (motivação da visitação). Associados à legislação e ação dos gestores, os dados apontam lacunas onde as trilhas mal conservadas são vetores de pressão antrópica, potencializam as fragilidades inerentes ao uso e causam degradação ambiental.

Authors: Tomazin Mariana , Ramiro Patrícia Alves
Published: February 2017

São Luiz do Paraitinga, estância turística localizada no estado de São Paulo, é conhecido por seus casarões do século XIX e suas festas populares. Em 2010, o município sofreu com a maior enchente de sua história, quando viu parte de seu patrimônio arquitetônico ruir. Doravante, o período de reconstrução pós-enchente reforçou o olhar de gestores públicos e de alguns segmentos sociais locais para a relevância do turismo para o desenvolvimento local. Em consonância com o contexto vivido, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo pensar com os moradores do bairro Alto do Cruzeiro suas potencialidades para o planejamento de um turismo mais sustentável, visto que vivem em condições mais precárias no que se refere ao acesso a bens e serviços. Com base na metodologia da história oral e na realização de um diagnóstico rápido participativo pode-se constatar a existência de um bairro com fortes vínculos de amizade e portador de um sentimento enraizado de pertencimento ao lugar, características que, somadas às manifestações culturais identificadas, poderão servir de suporte para o desenvolvimento do turismo de base comunitária no bairro.
Kościół parafialny św. Mikołaja i św. Doroty w Kwiatkowicach
Authors: Jarno-Cichosz Katarzyna
Published: February 2017

Kościół parafialny w Kwiatkowicach to przykład świątyni pochodzącej z fundacji szlacheckiej i pełniącej funkcję mauzoleum rodowego fundatorów wzniesionej na początku XVII w. przez Kacpra Puczka i jego żonę Annę z Sarnowa. Walory kościoła stanowią dobrze zachowane nowożytne wyposażenie oraz niewielkie zmiany, jakim na przestrzeni lat podlegały jego formy. W kościele znajdują się trzy ołtarze: główny św. Mikołaja oraz dwa ołtarze boczne – Trójcy Świętej (południowy) i Serca Jezusa (północny) – usytuowane w części korpusu przylegającej do prezbiterium. Ołtarz główny powstał w pierwszej połowie lat 30. XVIII w., najprawdopodobniej z inicjatywy zmarłej w 1732 r. Konstancji Kossakowskiej. Ołtarz p.w. Świętej Trójcy powstał w latach 20.–30. XVII w., stanowi pierwotny element wyposażenia świątyni podobnie jak ołtarz Św. Trójcy. Z początku XVII w. pochodzą także dwie drewniane, polichromowane rzeźby: Madonna Immaculata oraz św. Jan Nepomucen. Omawiany obiekt świadczy o pozycji i zamożności fundatorów, którzy zdecydowali się na budowę świątyni murowanej, wyposażonej zgodnie z panującymi na tym obszarze w początku XVII w. trendami.

Authors: Stefańska Dorota
Published: February 2017

Pierwszym kółkiem rolniczym w Szadku było powstałe w 1906 r. Kółko Rolnicze im. Stanisława Staszica założone z inicjatywy właściciela dóbr Wola Krokocka, Jerzego Karola Kurnatowskiego, które jednak ze względu na brak wsparcia finansowego wkrótce upadło. W 1907 r. z inicjatywy właściciela majątku ziemskiego w Prusinowicach, Kazimierza Czarnowskiego, w Szadku powstało większe i dysponujące środkami finansowymi kółko rolnicze, które działało w strukturach Centralnego Towarzystwa Rolniczego i podlegało najpierw terenowemu gubernialnemu oddziałowi tego towarzystwa w Kaliszu, a następnie powiatowemu oddziałowi w Sieradzu. W latach 1907–1926 kolejnymi prezesami kółka rolniczego byli: Kazimierz Czarnowski (1907–1908), ks. Stanisław Mirecki (1908–1911), Franciszek Paczkowski (1911–1914), Hoppe (1914–1920), Jan Wróblewski (1920–1922), Adam Nencki (1923–1925), Stanisław Leopold (1925) i Michał Zabłocki (od 1926). Działalność kółka koncentrowała się na modernizacji i odbudowie rolnictwa przy wsparciu ziemiaństwa i duchowieństwa.

Seed treatments are the biological, physical and chemical agents and techniques applied to seed to provide protection and improve the establishment of healthy crops. The benefits of seed treatments are increased germination, uniform seedling emergence, protect seeds or seedlings from early season diseases and insect pests improving crop emergence and its growth. Anthropogenic changes of the soil, water and atmosphere due to the use of different chemical additives for raising plants productivity led to searching alternative ways. Safe methods for increasing the yield includes the reasonable use of chemicals and substitution of some of them by appropriate physical treatments viz., magnetic field, gamma irradiation, electric field, laser irradiation, sound, healing energy, light and heat.

Authors: Nurmalina Rita
Published: February 2017

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis keberlanjutan sistem ketersediaan beras berdasarkan penilaian indeks dan status keberlanjutan dengan metode RAP-RICE menggunakan Multidimensional Scalling (MDS). Data yang digunakan data primer dan data sekunder. Hasil teknik ordinasi RAP-RICE metode MDS menunjukkan bahwa indeks keberlanjutan ketersediaan beras regional berkisar 33,37 – 67,23. Wilayah Jawa dan Sumatera kategori status cukup berkelanjutan dalam sistem ketersediaan beras, sedangkan Kalimantan, Sulawesi, dan wilayah lainnya kategori kurang berkelanjutan dalam sistem ketersediaan beras. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pengembangan wilayah padi/beras selain fokus di Jawa juga sebaiknya diarahkan ke Sumatera. Analisis keberlanjutan sistem ketersediaan beras masing-masing dimensi pada 5 dimensi (ekologi, ekonomi, sosial budaya, kelembagaan, dan teknologi) menunjukkan bahwa dimensi ekonomi yang terendah di Kalimantan, sedangkan ekologi di Jawa, sosial budaya di Sumatera. Sedangkan di Kalimantan yang baik hanya ekologi dan wilayah lain adalah ekologi dan kelembagaan. Dari analisis leverage RAP-RICE didapatkan bahwa dari 60 atribut yang dianalisis ada 23 atribut yang sensitif berpengaruh pada indeks keberlanjutan sistem ketersediaan beras. Berdasarkan analisis prospektif diketahui bahwa ada tujuh faktor kunci atau faktor dominan yang sangat berpengaruh dalam sistem ketersediaan beras yaitu produksi, produktivitas, konversi lahan, pencetakan sawah, kesesuaian lahan, konsumsi per kapita dan jumlah penduduk.

Perekonomian dunia yang berkembang pesat menyebabkan semakin tingginya integrasi dan dinamika perdagangan antarnegara. Dengan latar belakang krisis keuangan global, strategi diversifikasi pasar dianggap tepat untuk meminimisasi dampak yang merugikan bagi performa neraca perdagangan Indonesia. Komitmen strategi diversifikasi destinasi pasar memunculkan kawasan Timur Tengah sebagai kawasan yang potensial, meliputi Turki, Tunisia, dan Maroko. Analisis Intra Industry Trade (IIT) menunjukkan bahwa derajat integrasi perdagangan Indonesia–Turki lebih erat dibandingkan dengan Tunisia dan Maroko. Sementara itu, analisis Constant Market Share (CMS) mengindikasikan bahwa terdapat fenomena yang konvergen bagi dinamika ekspor Indonesia, dimana  minyak yang berasal dari tumbuhan dan hewan, kayu dan produk kayu, serta karet dan produk karet menjadi produk yang potensial dengan efek dekomposisi yang bervariasi pada setiap mitra dagang. Kombinasi penguatan market intelligence (sisi permintaan) dan diferensiasi produk ekspor (sisi penawaran) merupakan rekomendasi komprehensif bagi tahap inisiasi FTA Indonesia-Timur Tengah.

Published: February 2017

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk 1) menganalisis pengaruh keterdedahan informasi inovasi, modal manusia, promosi inovasi, dan tingkat adopai inovasi jagung terhadap modal sosial dan 2) menganalisis pengaruh modal sosial, keterdedahan informasi inovasi, modal manusia, dan promosi inovasi terhadap tingkat adopsi inovasi jagung. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kabupaten Lombok Timur, Nusa Tenggara Barat, dari bulan Juli - Oktober 2008. Penelitian menggunakan metode survai dengan mengkombinasikan pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam pada 220 responden dan 12 orang informan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa modal sosial dalam adopsi inovasi jagung dipengaruhi oleh faktor frekuensi komunikasi inovasi, intensitas komunikasi inovasi, motivasi kerja, sikap petani, nilai manfaat ekonomi inovasi, ketersediaan pasar, dan tingkat adopsi inovasi. Faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh nyata terhadap tingkat adopsi inovasi jagung adalah modal sosial, akses informasi inovasi, ketersediaan inovasi, dan ketersediaan pasar. Bagaimanapun dalam proses adopsi inovasi jagung bahwa keterdedahan petani terhadap informasi inovasi, modal manusia, dan promosi inovasi adalah bekerja melalui modal sosial. Modal sosial merupakan salah satu faktor yang perlu dipertimbangkan dalam peningkatan adopsi inovasi jagung, sehingga sangat perlu untuk melakukan revitalisasi modal sosial dengan menggunakan berbagai pendekatan secara kohesif.

Valuasi ex ante dilakukan untuk menentukan kelayakan ekonomi dan keberlanjutan adopsi jagung transgenik BT dan RR pada tingkat usahatani. Survai usahatani dilaksanakan di dua provinsi, Jawa Timur dan Lampung, untuk mengumpulkan data usahatani jagung. Data diolah dengan beberapa metode, yakni analisis input-output, contingent valuation method (CVM) dan multi-attribute value theory (MAVT). Analisis input-output yang disimulasikan (dengan vs tanpa) dilakukan dengan menggunakan data percobaan sebelumnya dan merujuk pada data dari negara tetangga. Untuk analisis faktor-faktor penentu adopsi tanaman transgenik yang efektif dilakukan wawancara dengan beberapa pakar untuk menimbang alternatif-alternatif potensial berdasarkan berbagai kriteria, subkriteria dan indikator dengan menggunakan teknik analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Hasil valuasi kelayakan menunjukkan bahwa jagung transgenik memberikan penerimaan usahatani lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan jagung hibrida konvensional, yakni masing-masing Rp 10,7 – 14,4 juta dan Rp 10,2 – 12,4 juta per hektar. Sebagian besar petani bersedia membayar lebih mahal untuk benih jagung transgenik, namun tidak melebihi 10% dari harga benih jagung hibrida saat penelitian ini. Indeks keberlanjutan yang dihitung pada tingkat usahatani menunjukkan indeks agregat yang sedikit lebih tinggi dengan adopsi benih jagung transgenik dibandingkan dengan jagung hibrida. Kerangka dan kapasitas kelembagaan, regulasi, dan persepsi publik dinilai sebagai faktor-faktor paling kritikal bagi keberhasilan adopsi benih tanaman transgenik di Indonesia.

Published: February 2017

Akhir-akhir ini di pasar dunia terjadi konversi jagung menjadi bahan bakar nabati (etanol) yang berdampak pada perdagangan jagung dunia dan ketersediaan jagung di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan (1) menganalisis perilaku pasar domestik dan pasar dunia jagung, (2) menganalisis dampak konversi jagung menjadi etanol terhadap ketersediaan jagung di Indonesia, dan (3) menyusun kebijakan untuk meningkatkan ketersediaan jagung di Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan data time series 1983-2006 dan model ekonometrik simultan yang diduga dengan prosedur 2SLS, dapat diketahui bahwa (1) terdapat keterkaitan perilaku antara pasar domestik dan pasar dunia melalui peubah harga impor jagung, (2) konversi jagung menjadi etanol di pasar dunia menurunkan ketersediaan jagung di Indonesia tetapi meningkatkan pangsa produksi domestik terhadap ketersediaan jagung, dan (3) kebijakan subsidi pupuk dan tarif impor mampu mendorong peningkatan produksi, sehingga  pangsa produksi domestik tehadap ketersediaan jagung meningkat.

ABSTRAK

Kabupaten Indragiri Hilir merupakan salah satu sentra produksi kelapa di Indonesia dan sebagian besar peduduknya berusaha di sektor kelapa sebagai mata pencaharian utamanya. Disisi lain, kabupaten ini memiliki persentase penduduk miskin yang tertinggi diantara kabupaten/kota yang ada di Provinsi Riau pada beberapa tahun terakhir. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak pengembangan sektor kelapa terhadap perekonomian wilayah, menganalisis indikasi dan potensi kebocoran wilayah sektor kelapa serta dampaknya terhadap perekonomian wilayah, dan menganalisis opsi kebijakan yang dapat meningkatkan pendapatan dan menurunkan kemiskinan. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data primer dan sekunder yang dianalisis dengan menggunakan Sistem Neraca Sosial Ekonomi, Indeks kemiskinan Foster-Greer-Thorbecke, dan analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sektor kelapa dan sektor industri pengolahan kelapa memiliki dampak yang besar terhadap pembentukan output, nilai tambah bruto, dan penyerapan tenaga kerja di Kabupaten Indragiri Hilir. Sektor kelapa mengalami kebocoran wilayah, terutama pada sektor industri pengolahan kelapa skala besar yang disebabkan oleh adanya aliran pendapatan modal dan tenaga kerja yang keluar wilayah. Kebijakan investasi pada sektor kelapa (simulasi 1), sektor industri kelapa skala besar (simulasi 2), dan sektor industri kelapa skala rumah tangga (simulasi 3) masing-masing 50 milyar rupiah hanya mampu menurunkan kemiskinan sebesar 2,8 persen untuk rumah tangga petani yang memiliki lahan 0,00-1,00 ha, dan 5,67 persen untuk rumah tangga petani yang memiliki lahan > 100 ha. Disisi lain, pada kelompok rumah tangga lainnya tidak mengalami penurunan kemiskinan. Simulasi 1 memberikan kontribusi yang lebih besar dalam peningkatkan pendapatan faktor produksi dan pendapatan rumah tangga, yaitu 2,07 persen dan 2,08 persen dibandingkan simulai 2 dan 3. Sedangkan simulasi 3 memiliki dampak yang tertingi dalam meningkatkan pendapatan pada sektor produksi yaitu sebesar 2,79 persen.
