El desarrollo tecnológico es un conjunto de actividades que implican avances cualitativos y cuantitativos de los instrumentos o recursos usados para responder a las necesidades de la especie humana en diferentes ámbitos. Desde la adaptación del pulgar oponible para el uso de herramientas, la condición humana tuvo grandes transformaciones que hasta hoy y de forma vertiginosa han permitido a las organizaciones sociales mejorar sus condiciones de vida. Junto con el pulgar, otra herramienta fue la capacidad de entender, comprender y transformar lo que nos rodea, a tal punto de necesitar un sistema de ideas, que lo explique; la ciencia. Bunge (2018) describió este sistema con características como: sistemático, verificable y falible. Este sistema permitiría la verificación o la demostración de los fenómenos (Bunge, 2018), llama la atención para el desarrollo tecnológico la verificación, vale la pena mencionar que la ciencia es una de las columnas vertebrales de la educación y en particular de los fines misionales de Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES).

Published: February 2021

El Co-Branding se ha constituido como una oportunidad estratégica de cooperación entre marcas, a partir de la cual aquellas involucradas en la alianza están en la búsqueda de beneficios particulares, sin perder la identidad de cada una y generando valor añadido. Desde esa perspectiva, ha tenido como meta el desarrollo efectivo de constructos como la conservación o mantenimiento del brand equity, la obtención de lealtad en los clientes y la generación de favorables niveles de valor percibido, principalmente. Particularmente, el tema relacionado con las tarjetas de crédito de marca compartida entre instituciones bancarias y establecimientos de comercio, se viene desarrollando como una tendencia a nivel mundial desde los años 90. En Colombia, Colpatria fue el pionero al respecto y hoy ocupa el segundo puesto en dicho mercado; a la par, se destacan bancos como Davivienda, Banco Caja Social, Banco de Occidente, Banco de Bogotá, Citibank, Av Villas, Bancolombia, BBVA y Helm Bank. Por lo mismo, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo identificar el impacto del consumo de tarjetas de crédito de marca compartida para la categoría “institución bancaria – tienda minorista de ropa, accesorios y calzado”, en la percepción de valor y en la lealtad de los clientes en Bogotá. La metodología se enmarca dentro de una investigación cuantitativa a través de un estudio descriptivo – correlacional con corte transversal, con el fin de conocer y concluir sobre la relación existente entre la intención de las entidades participantes en el Co-branding y los resultados de las variables objeto de estudio.

A discrete element method model of corn stalk and its mechanical characteristic parameters
Authors: Zhang Tao , Zhao Manquan , Liu Fei , Tian Haiqing , Wulan Tuya , Yue Yao , Li Dapeng
Published: February 2021

In a simulation model of the process of corn straw crushing, its physical parameters and the model itself influence the accuracy of the numerical calculations of the discrete element method. This study attempts to improve the simulation accuracy of the crushing process and to find the optimal combination of parameters. Based on the Hertz-Mindlin with Bonding contact model, multiple particle replacement and bonding programs written using Visual Studio were imported through the application programming interface (API) of a discrete element method (DEM) model to establish three particle-bonding materials for a numerical simulation of the crushing process. Using results of mechanical corn stalk tests, DEM simulations of impact fracture, compression fracture, and bending fracture were conducted to determine the optimal combination of parameters. The resultant DEM-parameter combination led to simulation errors of 3.83%, 5.95%, and 7.86% in numerical simulations of impact fracture, bending fracture, and compression fracture of corn stalks, respectively. The performance of the corn stalk DEM using the proposed optimal parameter combination was validated using a 9RS-60 corn stalk crusher, revealing that the numerical simulation error was 8.77%. This study can improve the accuracy of the discrete element method in the simulation of the corn straw breaking process.
Image of Vilnius in Joseph Arthur Gobineau‘s Novel The Pleiades
Authors: Bikulčius Vytautas
Published: February 2021

Using insights from comparative imagology the image of Vilnius in Joseph Arthur Gobineau’s novel The Pleiades (1874) has been analysed in the paper. Presumably, the name of Vilnius was first mentioned by Olympe Chodzko, his Parisian acquaintance, in her short story, its scene is laid in Vilnius. The way Vilnius is imaged depends on context. Where Vilnius is compared to the privileged Saint-Honoré quarter in Paris a tinge of phobia arises unavoidably because Vilnius in no way is comparable to Paris. Likewise is imaged Vilnius by Sophie Tonska, Marquis Candeuil’s sweetheart. Marquis Candeuil selected Vilnius for his residence from seven possible cities accidentally, by drawing lots. That attitude of the protagonist can be related to idiocracy. Where the author writes about Vilnius in the St. Petersburg-Warsaw railroad construction context his philia can be felt. Vilnius is imaged not only in this context, but also through Marquis Candeuil’s thoughts pertaining to the essential problems raised in the novel. Finally, all that reveals that the image of Vilnius in the novel, at first glance so unintentional, actually pertains to the whole system of the novel.
The phenomenon of medieval Ius commune: the past of Europe’s legal future?
Authors: Lukošius Tadas
Published: February 2021

The historical approach enables us to perceive the specific legal phenomenon as continuous and to study the antecedents of current (or even future) legal challenges. This article discusses the possibilities of invoking the historical notion of ius commune (and various new concepts based on it) in a contemporary legal discourse on the future of the European Union (EU) law. Since issues of integrity and homogeneity remain central to the consideration of further legal developments of the EU legal framework it is especially relevant to look back at one of the most prominent phenomena in the Western legal tradition – ius commune, which to some extent united legal thought throughout pre-modern Europe. By analysing inherent characteristics related to its sources, methods and interaction with other (local) legal systems, we attempt to define the limits of such historical analogy. This may allow answering the questions as to whether and to what extent the model of medieval-originated ius commune could inspire further development of the EU legal framework (as a new ius commune).

Published: February 2021

A previously healthy 15-year-old boy from a rural county in the southeastern United States was evaluated in the emergency department with fever and worsening toe pain in the absence of trauma. He initially presented to his primary care physician 4 weeks before with upper respiratory symptoms and was treated with corticosteroids for presumed reactive airway disease. His respiratory symptoms resolved. One week after this presentation, he developed fever and right great toe pain and presented to an outside hospital. Inflammatory markers were elevated. MRI confirmed a diagnosis of osteomyelitis with associated periosteal abscess. He was treated with intravenous antibiotics and drainage of the abscess. Ten days after his discharge from the outside hospital, he developed fever and had increasing drainage of the toe and pain refractory to oral pain medications. He presented to our facility for further evaluation. Repeat MRI and inflammatory markers corroborated his worsening disease, and he was admitted to the hospital for intravenous antibiotics and underwent serial surgical debridement. He developed painful subcutaneous nodules on his lower extremities and was found to have lung abnormalities on chest radiograph. A multispecialty team collaborated in the management of this patient and unveiled a surprising diagnosis.
Tecnologias Digitais Móveis e o ensino de Língua Portuguesa para estrangeiros
Authors: Cani Josiane Brunetti
Published: February 2021

A multiplicidade de recursos oferecidos pela internet, ampliando os serviços móveis, fez surgir a modalidade de ensino mobile learning. Por meio dessa estratégia, aplicativos (apps) instalados em aparelhos móveis utilizam tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação para promover o ensino-aprendizagem de idiomas. A fim de compreender como ocorre esse processo, este estudo analisa três apps voltados ao ensino da língua portuguesa: Duolingo, Babbel e Busuu. Com base nos estudos da gamificação e aprendizagem de línguas por computador, os apps são classificados segundo quatro paradigmas, fundamentados no destaque (i) à teoria de aprendizagem; (ii) às concepções de linguagem; (iii) ao conteúdo abordado, como leitura, produção de textos, vocabulário, tópicos gramaticais, tarefas orais e pronúncia; e (iv) ao emprego de imagens para representar vocabulário e situações diárias. A análise dos dados permitiu compreender que, embora predomine uma estrutura behaviorista, trabalhando a língua de forma fragmentada, como objeto de estudo e não como forma de comunicação e interação social, os três aplicativos apresentam um sistema bem planejado em termos de gamificação. Conclui-se que essas ferramentas não ensinam de fato a língua, mas, usadas como suporte, contribuem para a aprendizagem.
Transferência de padrões linguísticos do mandarim e do cantonês em aprendentes de PLA
Authors: Jatobá Júlio Reis , Ho Weng Fong
Published: February 2021

Partindo da premissa de que falar sobre “língua materna chinesa” é falar de um espectro de diferentes línguas e dialetos, o objetivo do presente artigo é verificar a transferência de padrões linguísticos das línguas maternas de aprendentes chineses de PLA durante práticas de interpretação consecutiva do português ao mandarim (putonghua) e, ainda, verificar as variáveis que eventualmente afetam as produções em mandarim de falantes de língua materna cantonesa. Para isso, analisamos a produção de interpretações consecutivas de 16 aprendentes divididos em dois grupos de controle: um com oito falantes de cantonês e outro com oito falantes de mandarim. Os resultados apontam que, apesar de os falantes de cantonês terem menor proficiência na língua de chegada, suas interpretações expressam com maior eficácia os textos originais, alimentando a hipótese de que a educação linguística e o caráter multilíngue e multicultural da sociedade de Macau contribuem positivamente para a prática da interpretação.
Português como Língua Adicional nas universidades federais brasileiras
Authors: Aurea Martins Marques Aline , Roquele Schoffen Juliana
Published: February 2021

Este artigo apresenta um mapeamento da área de Português como Língua Adicional (PLA) nas universidades federais brasileiras. Muito importante para o processo de internacionalização das universidades e para o atendimento do crescente número de imigrantes que o Brasil tem recebido nos últimos anos, a área de PLA ainda é relativamente pequena no Brasil. A fim de contribuir para o fortalecimento da área e para o reconhecimento da sua importância na rede educacional, traçamos um histórico da área no Brasil e discutimos ações e políticas que colaboraram para seu crescimento e consolidação. Apresentamos e discutimos, na sequência, dados gerados entre novembro de 2016 e julho de 2017 sobre a oferta de cursos de PLA nas universidades federais. Considerando a expansão do ensino de PLA nos últimos anos e a escassez de informações publicadas sobre a sua inserção nas instituições de ensino superior, entendemos que os dados aqui apresentados contribuem como um importante subsídio para o debate sobre políticas para a institucionalização da área de PLA no Brasil.
A test of the pathway model of problematic smartphone use

Published: February 2021

Background and aims

Problematic smartphone use (PSU) has been described as a growing public health issue. In the current study, we aimed to provide a unique and comprehensive test of the pathway model of PSU. This model posits three distinct developmental pathways leading to PSU: (1) the excessive reassurance pathway, (2) the impulsive pathway and (3) the extraversion pathway.

Methods

Undergraduate students (n = 795, 69.8% female, mean age = 23.80 years, sd = 3.02) completed online self-report measures of PSU (addictive use, antisocial use and dangerous use) and the psychological features (personality traits and psychopathological symptoms) underlying the three pathways.

Results

Bayesian analyses revealed that addictive use is mainly driven by the excessive reassurance pathway and the impulsive pathway, for which candidate etiopathological factors include heightened negative urgency, a hyperactive behavioural inhibition system and symptoms of social anxiety. Dangerous and antisocial use are mainly driven by the impulsive pathway and the extraversion pathway, for which candidate etiopathological factors include specific impulsivity components (lack of premeditation and sensation seeking) and primary psychopathy (inclination to lie, lack of remorse, callousness and manipulativeness).

Discussion and conclusions

The present study constitutes the first comprehensive test of the pathway model of PSU. We provide robust and original results regarding the psychological dimensions associated with each of the postulated pathways of PSU, which should be taken into account when considering regulation of smartphone use or tailoring prevention protocols to reduce problematic usage patterns.

Long-term monitoring is critical to guide conservation strategies and assess the impacts of climatic changes and anthropogenic activities. In High Arctic ecosystems, information on distribution and population trends of plants is dramatically lacking. During two field expeditions in 2018 and 2019, we conducted a systematic floristic survey together with opportunistic collecting in the polar desert surrounding Alert (Nunavut, Canada) to update past vascular plant inventories. We recorded 58 species, of which 54 species were recorded over the last seven decades, and four species that are additions to the local flora (Draba pauciflora R. Brown, Festuca edlundiae S.G. Aiken, Consaul, & Lefkovitch, Festuca hyperborea Holmen ex Frederiksen, and ×Pucciphippsia vacillans (T. Fries) Tzvelev). With the addition of 19 species that were previously reported but not found in our survey, we estimate the species richness in the study area at 77 species.
La evolución de un mismo cantar heroico desde su transmisión oral a su transmisión escrita: el caso del «Cantar de Hildebrando» alemán
Authors: Ayerbe-Linares Miguel
Published: February 2021

El cantar de Hildebrando nos ha sido transmitido en dos momentos temporales: primero, durante el periodo del alto antiguo alemán (750-1150), y, más tarde, durante el periodo del alto alemán paleomoderno (1350-1750). La diferencia temporal entre ambos no solo muestra cambios en la lengua alemana, desde una perspectiva puramente lingüística, sino también diferencias significantes en el modo en el que esta misma historia es narrada y transmitida. Cuando tiene lugar la primera constancia del cantar heroico de Hildebrando (Älteres Hildebrandslied-cantar antiguo) durante la primera mitad del siglo IX, el texto muestra muchos rasgos de la poesía germánica oral tradicional, como, por ejemplo, el denominado lenguaje oralformulaico, aún muy extendido en aquel tiempo. Más tarde, durante el alto alemán paleomoderno, la misma historia de Hildebrando y su hijo (Jüngeres Hildebrandslied-cantar moderno) se presenta en un formato literario bien diferente, que apenas muestra rasgos de la tradición oral previa. Basándonos en estos hechos es posible trazar la evolución de un mismo relato desde un formato de transmisión oral a otro de carácter escrito. Sirviéndonos de un análisis comparado, en el presente trabajo se examina cómo la transmisión de esta historia evoluciona desde un formato oral a otro escrito, es decir, cómo los rasgos propios del lenguaje oral-formulaico del cantar antiguo desaparecen en el moderno sin apenas dejar huella.
Writing on Islamic Apologetics in an Unwritten Tongue. An Unusual Sample of Transitional Prose from the Island of Soqotra
Authors: Kogan Leonid
Published: February 2021

Soqotri is a Modern South Arabian language spoken by 100 000 inhabitants of the Island of Soqotra. The island is famous for its narrative art, first revealed to the Western world by the Austrian South Arabian Expedition around 1900. Until recently, Soqotri functioned as an unwritten language, and Soqotra’s traditional lore has mainly been transmitted orally. From 2014 on, an Arabic-based writing system for Soqotri has been implemented by a Russian-Yemeni research team. Originally intended as a means of preservation of the traditional oral lore, the writing system proves to be capable of meeting other intellectual demands – notably, to create original, non-traditional compositions. Apologetic and propagandistic works pertaining to the Muslim faith are among the first genres of the nascent Soqotri prose. The article analyzes one such composition in an attempt to trace the thorny path from orality to literacy on Soqotri soil: the adaptation of traditional narrative techniques; the difficult balance between purism and innovation; and interaction with Arabic. It shows that the concept of transitional text, mostly applied to poetry in modern literary research, can also be used about prose, including religiously motivated writing.
El campeonato de «bertsolaris» de Euskal Herria como institución canonizadora de las melodías, de los ejercicios y de las estrofas de «bertsos»
Authors: Barandiaran-Amarika Asier
Published: February 2021

Las competiciones de bertsolaris tienen su culmen en la Euskal Herriko Bertsolari Txapelketa (Campeonato de Bertsolaris de Euskal Herria) cada cuatro años. Es un campeonato con diversas fases y con una gran final donde compiten ocho bertsolaris y donde se decide quién ostentará la txapela (el trofeo dado al ganador) durante los siguientes cuatro años. Se trata de un acto de canonización en donde repertorios de ejercicios, tipos de bertsos (métricas de estrofas) y melodías (algunas nuevas y otras “recuperadas de la periferia”) se muestran al gran público, son difundidas en los medios y son juzgadas por el jurado. Todo ello hace que algunas melodías, algunos ejercicios bertsolarísticos y algunas estrofas se incorporen al centro del sistema cultural del bertsolarismo. En este trabajo se intenta hacer un seguimiento de estos tres parámetros tomando como referencia básica las últimas tres finales de bertsolaris (2009; 2013; 2017) y también se trata de constatar si esa canonización de la final del campeonato tiene alguna repercusión en sesiones de bertsolaris ordinarias o en campeonatos territoriales. Algunos artículos de personas estudiosas del bertsolarismo se utilizarán como información cualitativa que sostenga la explicación de los procesos de canonización en géneros orales improvisados como este, en donde los campeonatos, como institución, juegan un papel clave. El condicionante psicológico que la Txapelketa juega en el bertsolari y en el jurado también será inquirido, sopesado y valorado en este trabajo.
Models and Methods for Discovery of Local Area Network Topology with Incomplete Data
Authors: Aleshkin Andrey , Balakirev Stanislav , Nevzorov Valery , Savochkin Pavel
Published: February 2021

A lot of network  management tasks require a description of the logical and physical computer network topology. Obtaining such a description in an automatic way is complicated due to the possibility of incompleteness and incorrectness of the initial data on the network structure. This article provides  a study on the properties of incomplete initial data on network device connectivity on the link layer. Methods for generalized handling of the heterogeneous input data on the link layer are included. We describe models and methods for deriving  a missing part of the data, as well as the condition in which it is possible to get a single correct network topology description. The article includes algorithms for building a link layer topology description from incomplete data when this data is possible to fulfill up to the required level. Also, we provide methods for detecting and resolving an ambiguity in the data and methods for improving incorrect initial data. The tests and evaluations provided in the article demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the build methods for discovering  various heterogeneous real-life networks. Additionally,  we show the advantages of the provided methods over the previous analogs: our methods are able to derive up to 99% data on link layer connectivity in polynomial time; able to provide a correct solution from an ambiguous data.
Critical path to a sustainable future of managing no-fee secondary schools in the Limpopo Province
Authors: Lumadi Rudzani Israel
Published: February 2021

The disparity in the socio-economic status of South Africa has forced the government to adopt a funding policy for public secondary schools. The policy is based on funding schools considered to be poor because they are in poverty-stricken communities. Most of these schools lack infrastructure, and physical and financial resources to be run successfully, while the former Model C schools have adequate resources. In this article I advocate for equitable funding for all learners, and the role played by the school governing body (SGB) in the management of funds is also identified. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 6 members of the SGB from 2 secondary schools in the Vhembe district of the Limpopo province, South Africa. The participants who were purposefully sampled were 2 SGB chairpersons, 2 treasurers and 2 secretaries. The findings suggest that the SGBs were aware of their financial management roles but did not execute their roles effectively. They lacked the knowledge and skills to perform their roles. The SGBs require mandatory training from the Department of Education. It is also suggested that a qualified financial management expert is included in the membership of every SGB.
School financial management: Insights for decision making in public primary schools
Authors: Aina Adebunmi Yetunde , Bipath Keshni
Published: February 2021

To realise the ideal of quality inclusive education, proper financial management is vital. Existing literature indicates that the mismanagement of school funds is largely due to principals and the school governing bodies (SGB) in many schools not having good working relationships with stakeholders and lacking the necessary financial skills, more specifically in schools in townships and rural areas. The study we report on in this article investigated the financial management of public primary schools situated in urban areas by adopting a qualitative research approach and employing a multiple case study research design. Five schools participated and data were collected through individual semi-structured interviews with the principal, school accountant and chairperson of the SGB of the selected schools. Findings revealed that, despite the fact that all South African schools are governed and controlled by the South African Schools Act, the financial management of fee-paying schools differs from no-fee schools situated in townships and rural areas. In many schools, the unavailability of the parent members of SGBs and their limited financial skills were barriers to effective financial decisions. Based on these findings, we recommend that the relevant stakeholders involved in school financial management obtain continuous training from the Department of Basic Education, in order to empower and support school governors to effectively carry out their financial functions.
School finance reform for curriculum innovation: An equity prospect
Authors: Lumadi Mutendwahothe Walter
Published: February 2021

The advent of democracy in South Africa triggered notable reforms to the financing of quality education, and curriculum design and innovation. The ulterior motive behind this study was to underscore the correlation between inadequate financial resources and learners’ achievement. School finance reform was found to contribute to learner achievement and was viewed as a building block of every discourse related to equity. In the Eastern Cape (EC) province, the dismal percentage of Grade 12 learners who achieve success in gateway subjects, as reflected in the National Senior Certificate Examination results, was linked to the grossly inequitable distribution of funding and even the defunding of education. The 3 high schools in question were stigmatised as chronic underachievers, having reported a 0% pass rate for 5 successive years. Establishing an intervention programme to finance quality education for schools in poverty-stricken communities was an arduous undertaking. Although the windfall was temporary, it was construed as the dawn of a new age of philanthropy. The project spurred the development of local education finance to motivate South Africa’s Dinaledi (stars).
Responding to school funding challenges in no-fee and fee-paying schools: Lessons from South African principals
Authors: Naicker Inbanathan , Myende Phumlani Erasmus , Ncokwana Zamokwakhe Thandinkosi
Published: February 2021

Drawing on the quintile system of categorising schools, South African public schools are bifurcated into no-fee and fee paying schools. Emerging research has shown that school principals in both categories of schools encounter several challenges with regard to school funding. In this article, we employ contingency leadership theory to examine how school principals respond to the school funding challenges they encounter. An interpretive, qualitative case study drawing on semi-structured interviews with 4 purposively selected principals was conducted. To augment the interview data, purposively selected school documents were reviewed. Through thematic analysis, it was found that principals in fee-paying and no-fee schools employ a cocktail of practices to respond to the challenges they encounter. From the findings, we learn that school funding challenges push principals to enact a form of transgressive leadership where they adopt a context-driven, as opposed to a policy-driven approach to school leadership. Furthermore, the funding challenges drive school principals to renegotiate their roles as professional managers of the school and as ex-officio members of the School Governing Body. This results in school principals becoming more entrepreneurial in their school leadership.
Ethnobranding and its role in increasing the investment and tourist attractiveness of rural areas in the context of the coronavirus pandemic
(on the example of the Bashkir TRANS-Urals)
Authors: Akhmetov Vilyur , Yakshimbetova Gulshat
Published: February 2021

This article uses the example of the Bashkir TRANS – Urals-South-Eastern regions of the Republic of Bashkortostan to describe the prospects for using ethno-branding tools in regional and municipal management of rural development in terms of increasing their investment and tourist attractiveness in the context of the coronavirus pandemic.
From the authors' point of view, the regions of the Bashkir TRANS-Urals have a number of competitive advantages, including a rich history, unique tourist and recreational resources, and preserved traditions and customs of the indigenous Bashkir population. But in order for these advantages to contribute to the growth of investment and tourist attractiveness of these rural areas, it is necessary to create recognizable and most attractive images, ethnobrands through the active use of tools of territorial marketing and branding, in particular, ethnobranding.
To increase the effectiveness of territorial ethnobranding, the authors justify the need to consolidate the efforts of Federal, regional and local authorities, the business community, research and educational institutions, and private firms professionally engaged in marketing, branding, advertising, and promotion of goods and services.

Assessment of the prospects for changing the demographic situation in the regions of Russia, taking into account the development of social infrastructure

Published: February 2021

The current situation in the field of demographic development in Russia is characterized by a combination of many heterogeneous factors, the overwhelming majority of which are negative. Thus, the risk is posed by the aging of the population, changes in reproductive behavior, an increase in the demographic burden, a decrease in real incomes of a significant share of the population, etc. Socio-economic factors and living conditions of the population have a significant impact on demographic processes. The article examines the issues of assessing the impact of the level of development of social infrastructure on demographic processes in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. It is pointed out that the current situation is characterized by a high degree of differentiation in all key indicators of regional development, including the relationship between the parameters of demographic development and the development of the social infrastructure of the region. An approach to the grouping of regions, taking into account the interval estimation of each of the considered parameters, is proposed. This approach has been tested on three key parameters of population movement – fertility, mortality and migration. The obtained results of the grouping of regions were used in the formation of a set of regression equations describing the dependence of the values of the parameters of population movement on the level of development of social infrastructure and the group numbers assigned to the regions. In the course of the study, rating assessments of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation were obtained from the standpoint of the parameters under consideration and a mid-term forecast of changes in the population growth rate was formed. Thus, the authors have shown that social infrastructure, acting as a component of the general regional infrastructure, with which people directly interact and which, itself being a reflection of the development of the regional economy, directly affects the reproductive and migratory behavior of Russian citizens.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the validity of a nursing care instrument content for unplanned extubation prevention in Intensive Care Units. Methods: a methodological study carried out with 40 nurses, containing 26 interventions distributed in the components: agitation/delirium/pain management; respiratory device stability; weaning from sedation and spontaneous breathing assessment; human resource management. Content Validity Index, average and universal proportion, and Fleiss’ Kappa coefficient were applied. Results: Brazilian female experts stood out, with an average age of 44.9 years and a standard deviation of 7.75 years. Two interventions did not reach a valid Content Validation Index (≥0.78), when considering the set of evaluated criteria. A universal agreement of 4.0% was identified among Brazilians and 26.6% among foreigners. Conclusions: the instrument is relevant and represents “unplanned extubation prevention in Intensive Care Units”, which can be implemented in Brazil and in Latin countries, in Brazilian and foreign versions.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the understanding of homeless people living in a city in the countryside of São Paulo about what health is and about their experiences in health services. Methods: a qualitative exploratory study developed through interviews with homeless people and a field diary. The data were organized by themes and the findings were compared to a collective health framework. Results: the explored themes were: “Being healthy for the homeless population”, “The search for health services” and “Being a user of health services from the perspective of homeless people”. We present the interviewees’ understanding of health and their experiences in healthcare services. Along this path, we outline aspects that show the network’s weaknesses, permeated by prejudices and discrimination. Final Considerations: this population has conceptions about health and needs that need to be singularly taken into consideration to facilitate access and care.
