Efficiency of Pay for Performance Programs in Romanian Companies and the Mediating Role of Organizational Justice
Authors: Uriesi Sebastian
Published: June 2017

The present research examined the influences of pay for performance programs on employee performance in the Romanian context, by comparing a sample of employees in companies in which such programs are implemented to a sample of employees in organizations in which performance is not used as a criterion in deciding financial rewards. Results show that the work performances of the former, as evaluated by the direct supervisors of each employee, are significantly higher than those of the latter, and that this effect of performance pay is partly mediated by its positive effects on employee perceptions of distributive and procedural justice. Furthermore, results indicate that the individual – level financial incentive systems are more efficient in fostering work performance than the team – level performance pay programs in the Romanian employee sample, and that they also have stronger effects on the two dimensions of organizational justice.
Macroeconomic Dimensions in the Clusterization Processes: Lithuanian Biomass Cluster Case
Authors: Navickas Valentinas , Svazas Mantas
Published: June 2017

The Future production systems’ increasing significance will impose work, which maintains not a competitive, but a collaboration basis, with concentrated resources and expertise, which can help to reach the general purpose. One form of collaboration among medium-size business organizations is work in clusters. Clusterization as a phenomenon has been known from quite a long time, but it offers simple benefits to researches at micro and medium levels. The clusterization process evaluation in macroeconomic dimensions has been comparatively little investigated. Thereby, in this article, the clusterization processes is analysed by concentrating our attention on macroeconomic factor researches. The authors analyse clusterization’s influence on country’s macroeconomic growth; they apply a structure research methodology for clusterization’s macroeconomic influence evaluation and propose that clusterization processes benefit macroeconomic analysis. The theoretical model of clusterization processes was validated by referring to a biomass cluster case. Because biomass cluster case is a new phenomenon, currently there are no other scientific approaches to them. The authors’ accomplished researches show that clusterization allows the achievement of a large positive slip in macroeconomics, which proves to lead to a high value added to creation, a faster country economic growth, and social situation amelioration.
Empirical Analysis of the Financial Behavior of Investors with Brand Approach (Case Study: Tehran Stock Exchange)
Authors: Asgarnezhad Nouri Bagher , Motamedi Samira , Soltani Milad
Published: June 2017

Behavioral science in the field of finance and investment is among new topics raised in recent years. The relationship between financial sciences and other fields of social sciences such as financial psychology has caused researchers to do many researches regarding the behavior of investors in the financial markets and their reactions to different situations. Based on the theories of financial behavior, shareholders' decision to buy and sell stocks is under the influence of internal and external psychological factors. Through designing and experimental testing of the model of investors' financial behavior in the Tehran Stock Exchange with an emphasis on brand, this study was an attempt to investigate the influence of these factors. To this end, financial, psychological and social factors were considered as the most important external factors influencing the behavior of investors and, considering the mediating role of brand awareness, their impact on perceived risk and perceived return as well as investment intention was tested. The research population consisted of all individual investors in the Tehran Stock Exchange. In order to determine the sample size, considering unlimited population, Cochran formula was used and hence the sample size was determined to be 145. For data collection, standard questionnaire was used. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the reliability of the questionnaire and the research hypotheses were tested using path analysis. The results showed that psychological factors have a positive impact on perceived risk and returns. Financial factors had a positive impact on perceived risk but no impact on perceived return. The impact of social factors on perceived risk and perceived return was not confirmed. Moreover, the results showed that brand awareness has a moderating role in the relationship between social factors and perceived risk and return. However, its moderating role was not confirmed in the relationship between the psychological and financial factors and perceived risk and return. Perceived risk had a positive effect on attitude toward the brand. However, the impact of perceived return on attitude toward the brand was not significant. Finally, the attitude toward the brand had a positive effect on shareholders' investment intention.
Solvent selection for fatty acid residue analysis of archeologicial artifacts
Authors: Rosentreter Jeffrey J. , Malamakal John , Barnes Kelli , Alexander Matt
Published: June 2017

Residue analysis has rapidly become one of the most useful techniques for determining an artifact function and revealing insight into paleodiets. The success of analytical residue analysis often lies with the first preparatory step, where the residue is extracted from the object. Detection of a residue requires effective solvation of the material, and there is a large range of potential solvents. One purpose of this study is to determine the efficiency of various solvents for the extraction of fatty acids from charcoal, a material that is ubiquitous, easily identified, remarkably stable in the archaeological record but, most importantly for this research, retains fats extremely well. This investigation examines the removal efficiency of model fatty acids from carbonized wood samples. The strong affinity of lipids to charcoal makes carbonized wood ideal for retaining them, but also makes their extraction extremely challenging and thus an ideal benchmark for solvent extraction characterization. Several solvents (benzene, chloroform, hexane, methanol and water) are used to determine the quantitative extraction efficiency of tripalmitin. While benzene and chloroform perform best for some wood types, neither solvent is better for all carbonized wood. Correlations between the chemical properties of the solvents and the effectiveness of the extraction provide guidance for solvents. Findings indicate solvent characteristics including dipole moment, dielectric constant, hydrogen bonding, and molecular weight all play an important role in extraction of fat from a charcoal matrix. Results presented should provide guidelines to allow for more effective residue extration and more accurate lipid analysis.
Asserting Moral Sentences
Authors: Reichardt Bastian
Published: June 2017

During the last century of meta-ethical debates, moral realism was much criticized for its ontological assumptions. These assumptions arise from the semantic intuition that lies at the heart of realist theories – namely, the intuition that language represents states of affairs. This makes moral realism hardly compatible with a naturalist world view and gives rise to consider ontologically more economic approaches. Moral constructivists can explain objectivity in ethics without inheriting the realist’s ontological burden. Nevertheless, constructivists tend to ignore the semantic task of giving an account of what moral sentences mean. The semantics of moral discourse, however, cannot be considered representational because, then, constructivism would lapse back into realism. I argue that semantic pragmatism is an appropriate partner for moral constructivism. Thereby, we can see the personal standpoint as an engagement in asserting moral sentences.
Den Trumpismus verstehen: Die Außenpolitik des neuen amerikanischen Präsidenten
Authors: Thompson Jack
Published: June 2017

Kurzfassung:

Der Artikel fragt nach den außenpolitischen Prioritäten der Trump-Administration. Er gelangt zu dem Ergebnis, dass der neue US-Präsident keine strategische Leitvision hat, abgesehen von der vagen Überzeugung, dass die liberale Weltordnung den Vereinigten Staaten nicht nütze. Im Zentrum des Trumpismus steht vielmehr das Bemühen, die Unterstützung der politischen Basis des Präsidenten zu erhalten, die mit der Richtung, in die sich das Land entwickelt hat, unzufrieden ist. Dazu bedarf es primär einer Botschaft aus strammem Nationalismus, Anti-Elitismus und Globalisierungskritik. Das scheint zu funktionieren.
Understanding Trumpism: the New President's Foreign Policy
Authors: Thompson Jack
Published: June 2017

This article argues that the president does not have a grand strategic vision, aside from a vague conviction that the liberal world order is not benefiting the U.S. Instead, at the heart of Trumpism is an effort to mobilize and maintain the support of the president's political base, which is displeased with the direction of the country, around a message of staunch nationalism, anti-elitism, and anti-globalization. It appears to be working.
The end of a military-industrial triangle: arms-industrial co-operation between China, Russia and Ukraine after the Crimea crisis
Authors: Kirchberger Sarah
Published: June 2017

Due to a U.S./EU arms embargo that was imposed on China in 1989, China remains excluded from trading with any of the leading arms producers except for Russia and Ukraine. The previously existing military-industrial symbiosis between Ukraine and Russia, however, came to an abrupt end in 2014 with Russia‘s invasion and resulting occupation of Crimea. The sudden breaking off of defense-industrial ties between these two closely interwoven military-industrial complexes offers analysts the unusual chance to study the nature of transnational arms production arrangements and their strategic implications under crisis conditions. China is poised to benefit from this, while Western sanctions create incentives for China and Russia to enhance their mutual strategic co-operation.
Hacia una propuesta metodológica para el estudio de la atenuación fónica en Es.Var.Atenuación

El proyecto Es.Var.Atenuación se interesa por el estudio de la atenuación pragmática a nivel lingüístico, estructural, enunciativo y situacional, en corpus discursivos del español, a fin de reconocer las posibles estrategias atenuantes de un acto comunicativo. Para llevar a cabo el análisis se parte de una ficha de trabajo (Briz y Albelda, 2013. Una propuesta teórica y metodológica para el análisis de la atenuación lingüística en español y portugués.

Ficha metodológica para el análisis pragmático de la atenuación en corpus discursivos del español. (ES.POR.ATENUACIÓN).Oralia, 17, pp. 7–62) organizada en cinco bloques de factores: funciones de la atenuación, procedimientos lingüísticos de la atenuación, factores estructurales, factores enunciativos y factores situacionales. A partir de esta ficha de trabajo, el propósito de nuestra investigación es considerar la implicación del componente fonoprosódico de la lengua, de modo que nos centramos en el segundo bloque de factores de la ficha indicada (Procedimientos lingüísticos de la atenuación). Dicho bloque contiene 22 tácticas lingüísticas (y no lingüísticas) de atenuación; de ellas, la táctica 21 se refiere a los elementos prosódicos, paralingüísticos o gestuales y su papel en la expresión de atenuación. Esta táctica, no obstante, debe ser desarrollada para valorar mejor el peso de lo prosódico en la atenuación; se cuenta para ello con la experiencia previa del proyecto Fonocortesía, donde se manejan parámetros segmentales y suprasegmentales (F0, intensidad, duración, curva melódica o pausa, entre otros parámetros) relevantes para la expresión de (des)cortesía verbal (la atenuación es, de hecho, una forma frecuente de cortesía). El objetivo de este trabajo es, en fin, desarrollar metodológicamente la descripción del componente prosódico en la actividad atenuadora, y precisar a través de parámetros acústicos objetivables en qué pueda consistir ese papel atenuante

Religion und Staat in der europäischen Religionsgeschichte
Authors: Trein Lorenz
Published: June 2017

Der folgende Beitrag geht Verhältnisbestimmungen von Religion und Staat in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts am Beispiel der Religionsgeschichtsschreibung von Jacob Burckhardt (1818–1897) nach. An der Schnittstelle von Religionswissenschaft, Historik und Historiographiegeschichte wird Geschichtsschreibung der Religion dazu als spezifische Form historischer Sinnbildung in den Blick genommen. Burckhardts Diagnose einer Veränderung des Staatsverständnisses verweist auf eine semantische Verhältnisbestimmung von Religion und Kirche, die Aufschluss über eine Verschiebung des Religionsverständnisses in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts gibt. Darüber hinaus wird eine Ähnlichkeit zwischen Verhältnisbestimmungen von Religion und Staat im öffentlichen Religionsdiskurs der Gegenwart und in der Religionsgeschichtsschreibung im 19. Jahrhundert aufgezeigt.
Corruption in Transition Economies: Cause or Effect?
Authors: Arapović Adisa , Depken Craig A. , Hadžikadić Mirsad
Published: June 2017

This paper investigates the empirical relationship between corruption, economic growth, and government spending in fourteen transitioning economies from 1995-2013. We find strong evidence of bilateral Granger causation between economic growth and corruption for the full sample but weaker evidence of such a relationship for four former Yugoslav republics. We also find bilateral Granger causality between government spending and corruption but a weaker unidirectional Granger causality from government spending to corruption in four former Yugoslav republics. Our results recommend caution when assuming that corruption is purely exogenous in empirical models.
Konzeptionen religiöser Bildung an staatlichen Schulen in Deutschland und Frankreich. Der Ansatz der Kulturtransferforschung
Authors: Weidlich Laura
Published: June 2017

In Deutschland und Frankreich wird grundsätzlich unterschiedlich mit Religion umgegangen, da die Rollen von Kirche und Staat anders verteilt sind. Deswegen gibt es an deutschen Schulen das ordentliche Lehrfach Religion in konfessioneller Ausprägung, während dies in Frankreich an staatlichen Schulen wegen der Laizität nicht umsetzbar ist. Gleichwohl gab und gibt es zwischen beiden Ländern vielfältige Transfer- und Austauschprozesse. Mit dem Ansatz der Kulturtransferforschung können diese beschrieben und Möglichkeiten eines gemeinsamen europäischen Bildungsraums ausgelotet werden.
Religiöse Pluralitätsfähigkeit als Bildungsziel in Norwegen und Deutschland. Eine vergleichende Analyse
Authors: Wolking Lena
Published: June 2017

In Deutschland wird für das Bildungsziel der Pluralitätsfähigkeit im Evangelischen Religionsunterricht geworben. Die Zunahme religiöser Pluralität nicht nur in Deutschland, sondern auch in Ländern wie Norwegen lässt fragen, inwiefern religiöse Pluralitätsfähigkeit als Bildungsziel auch dort realisiert wird: Wie stellen sich religiöse Lernangebote im Umgang mit religiöser Pluralität dar? Norwegische und deutsche religiöse Lernangebote in Schule und Kirche werden für die Altersgruppe 13–15-Jähriger verglichen. Dies geschieht induktiv mit einer materialen Inhaltsanalyse religionspädagogischer Dokumente. Im Kontext historischer, systematischer und gesellschaftlicher Aspekte wird religiöse Pluralitätsfähigkeit in den Ländern und an den unterschiedlichen Lernorten als Bildungsziel zwar erkennbar, aber in unterschiedlicher Schwerpunktsetzung.
Zwischen Anpassung und Widerstand – Jugendliche im Dialog mit Exodus 1
Authors: Spiering-Schomborg Nele
Published: June 2017

„Warum waren sie so herzlos?“ fragt Lena und adressiert damit die Figuren von Ex 1. Die 14-jährige Schülerin hat soeben das erste Kapitel des Exodusbuches gelesen. Ex 1 gehört zu jenen Texten des Ersten Testaments, in welchen Gewalt und Ungleichheit z. B. durch die Interdependenz von Herkunft, ökonomischem Status oder das Geschlecht von Figuren ausgelöst werden. Um solchen kategorialen Verschränkungen auf den Grund zu gehen, hat sich in der deutschsprachigen Forschung die Signatur intersectionality etabliert. Im vorliegenden Beitrag möchte ich diese Perspektive zunächst fachwissenschaftlich bzw. -didaktisch zur Geltung bringen und daraufhin Interpretationen von Jugendlichen, die im Austausch mit Ex 1 entstanden sind, u. a. entlang von intersektionalen Einschreibungen abbilden.
Écriture et interlecte littéraire chez Senghor : étude de sociolinguistique poétique (post)coloniale
Authors: Jablonka Frank
Published: June 2017

The present article is an attempt to conceptualize Senghor’s poetic writing from a point of view of contact and variational linguistics. According to Senghor’s own formation in linguistics and anthropology, we take into account a perspective of anthropological linguistics of language contact between French and African languages in Senegal. By virtue of the colonial and postcolonial contact situation emerges an interlectal variety of French which impacts the literary writing. At the same time, Senghor’s poetic writing in an interlectal variety, which integrates also elements from Arabic and classical and modern European languages, enriches the repertoire of Francophony, one of his main political projects. The emerging French literary interlect represents a form of appropriation of African culture as a strategic aspect of Senghor’s civilizational project of Négritude.
Asignación de imprentas y años de publicación de las ediciones del Viaje de América a Roma, de José de Castro: valoración para su edición crítica
Authors: Rodríguez Domínguez Guadalupe
Published: June 2017

The article focuses, from a textual-bibliographical viewpoint, on the testimonies of the Viaje de America a Roma written by Jose de Castro and published during the second half of the 17th century. The lack of any editorial information in the testimonies required a deep analysis to establish their relationship in order to proceed to a critical edition of the text. The methodology followed in this study included three main aspects, 1) the material study of the text, 2) collecting archive data and 3) the information provided by the text itself. By joining all this information, it has been possible to identify the printer, place and year of the first edition of the text as well as the second edition. Besides that, the article provides information about the textual and bibliographical description of each edition, its bibliographical tradition and the libraries in which the remaining copies are kept.
Synergistic action of auxin and cytokinin mediates aluminum‐induced root growth inhibition in Arabidopsis

Published: June 2017

Auxin acts synergistically with cytokinin to control the shoot stem‐cell niche, while both hormones act antagonistically to maintain the root meristem. In aluminum (Al) stress‐induced root growth inhibition, auxin plays an important role. However, the role of cytokinin in this process is not well understood. In this study, we show that cytokinin enhances root growth inhibition under stress by mediating Al‐induced auxin signaling. Al stress triggers a local cytokinin response in the root‐apex transition zone (TZ) that depends on IPTs, which encode adenosine phosphate isopentenyltransferases and regulate cytokinin biosynthesis. IPTs are up‐regulated specifically in the root‐apex TZ in response to Al stress and promote local cytokinin biosynthesis and inhibition of root growth. The process of root growth inhibition is also controlled by ethylene signaling which acts upstream of auxin. In summary, different from the situation in the root meristem, auxin acts with cytokinin in a synergistic way to mediate aluminum‐induced root growth inhibition in Arabidopsis.
Cytonuclear Epistasis Controls the Density of SymbiontWolbachia pipientisin Nongonadal Tissues of MosquitoCulex quinquefasciatus
Authors: Emerson Kevin J , Glaser Robert L
Published: June 2017

Wolbachia pipientis, a bacterial symbiont infecting arthropods and nematodes, is vertically transmitted through the female germline and manipulates its host’s reproduction to favor infected females. Wolbachia also infects somatic tissues where it can cause nonreproductive phenotypes in its host, including resistance to viral pathogens. Wolbachia-mediated phenotypes are strongly associated with the density of Wolbachia in host tissues. Little is known, however, about how Wolbachia density is regulated in native or heterologous hosts. Here, we measure the broad-sense heritability of Wolbachia density among families in field populations of the mosquito Culex pipiens, and show that densities in ovary and nongonadal tissues of females in the same family are not correlated, suggesting that Wolbachia density is determined by distinct mechanisms in the two tissues. Using introgression analysis between two different strains of the closely related species C. quinquefasciatus, we show that Wolbachia densities in ovary tissues are determined primarily by cytoplasmic genotype, while densities in nongonadal tissues are determined by both cytoplasmic and nuclear genotypes and their epistatic interactions. Quantitative-trait-locus mapping identified two major-effect quantitative-trait loci in the C. quinquefasciatus genome explaining a combined 23% of variance in Wolbachia density, specifically in nongonadal tissues. A better understanding of how Wolbachia density is regulated will provide insights into how Wolbachia density can vary spatiotemporally in insect populations, leading to changes in Wolbachia-mediated phenotypes such as viral pathogen resistance.
Unique Allelic eQTL Clusters in Human MHC Haplotypes
Authors: Lam Tze Hau , Shen Meixin , Tay Matthew Zirui , Ren Ee Chee
Published: June 2017

The control of gene regulation within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) remains poorly understood, despite several expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies revealing an association of MHC gene expression with independent tag-single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). MHC haplotype variation may exert a greater effect on gene expression phenotype than specific single variants. To explore the effect of MHC haplotype sequence diversity on gene expression phenotypes across the MHC, we examined the MHC transcriptomic landscape at haplotype-specific resolution for three prominent MHC haplotypes (A2-B46-DR9, A33-B58-DR3, and A1-B8-DR3) derived from MHC-homozygous B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCLs). We demonstrate that MHC-wide gene expression patterns are dictated by underlying haplotypes, and identify 36 differentially expressed genes. By mapping these haplotype sequence variations to known eQTL, we provide evidence that unique allelic combinations of eQTL, embedded within haplotypes, are correlated with the level of expression of 17 genes. Interestingly, the influence of haplotype sequence on gene expression is not homogenous across the MHC. We show that haplotype sequence polymorphisms within or proximate to HLA-A, HLA-C, C4A, and HLA-DRB regions exert haplotype-specific gene regulatory effects, whereas the expression of genes in other parts of the MHC region are not affected by the haplotype sequence. Overall, we demonstrate that MHC haplotype sequence diversity can impact phenotypic outcome via the alteration of transcriptional variability, indicating that a haplotype-based approach is fundamental for the assessment of trait associations in the MHC.

Introducción. Aunque el sector justicia es un importante campo de actuación de la terapia ocupacional, son pocos los trabajos que documentan los alcances y las experiencias profesionales en Colombia.Objetivo. Aportar información para comprender el desarrollo de la terapia ocupacional colombiana en el ámbito penitenciario.Materiales y métodos. Investigación cualitativa con revisión sistemática de literatura y aplicación de encuestas a siete expertos.Resultados. Priman acciones de formación e inclusión productiva y social, fortalecimiento del autocuidado y tiempo libre con población reclusa, siendo los talleres para formación en oficios la estrategia más utilizada. Son frecuentes los modelos de la ocupación humana y canadiense del desempeño ocupacional. La academia, las problemáticas sociales y el desarrollo legislativo figuran como referentes que marcan el transcurrir profesional en el sector. Se deben fortalecer las acciones con familia y redes y cambiar la percepción de debilidad en la experiencia profesional que manifiestan los terapeutas ocupacionales frente a su quehacer en penitenciarías.Conclusiones. Se debe fortalecer la terapia ocupacional en el sector justicia y reconocer la ocupación como eje fundamental en procesos resocializadores. Los derroteros sectoriales y los contenidos normativos afines visibilizan la ocupación como estrategia e indicador de cambios en una población que, habiendo transgredido las normas jurídicas, puede aportar a la sociedad con su potencial ocupacional y productivo.

Published: June 2017

RESUMO Os manejos de água e de nitrogênio estão entre as intervenções necessárias para se atingir alto potencial produtivo nos sistemas agrícolas irrigados. Objetivou-se, com este estudo, determinar as influências de épocas de início da inundação e de aplicação do N em cobertura, nos estádios de desenvolvimento V3 - V4 a V12 - V13, nas características fisiológicas relacionadas positivamente com a produtividade de grãos do cultivar BRS Jaçanã, de arroz irrigado, em várzea tropical. Foi conduzido um experimento na Fazenda Palmital, da Embrapa Arroz e Feijão, em Goianira, GO, em um Gleissolo Háplico distrófico, por dois anos consecutivos. O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado, com seis repetições, no esquema de parcelas divididas, constituídas pelas épocas da inundação e, as subparcelas, pelas épocas de aplicação de 90 kg ha-1 de N em cobertura. Para os dois fatores, as épocas estabelecidas foram aos 15, 30, 45 e 60 dias após a emergência das plântulas, o que correspondeu aos estádios de desenvolvimento vegetativo V3 - V4; V6 - V7; V9 (VF-4) - V10 (VF-3) e V12 (VF-1) - V13 (VF). Na medida em que o início da inundação se atrasa, aumenta o perfilhamento, a razão de área foliar (RAF) e a área foliar específica (AFE) e decresce a biomassa da parte aérea (BPA), o índice de área foliar (IAF) e a duração de área foliar (DAF). Épocas tardias de aplicação de N em cobertura também provocam decréscimos desses índices fisiológicos. O emprego da inundação e da adubação nitrogenada no arroz irrigado tardiamente reduz proporcionalmente mais a área foliar que a produtividade de grãos, o que resulta em maior eficiência de área foliar. A adubação nitrogenada em cobertura, efetuada por ocasião do início do perfilhamento, e a inundação contínua no período médio de perfilhamento resultam em aumento dos índices fisiológicos, como RAF, IAF e DAF, que estão relacionados positivamente com a produtividade de grãos do arroz irrigado.

Published: June 2017

ABSTRACT Biodiesel stands out as an alternative for petroleum-based products, but its production generates a large amount of by-products. This study was carried out at the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Sul de Minas Gerais, Campus Machado, with the objective of evaluating the impacts of the disposal of crude glycerin on agricultural soil and its microbial activity as well as in plant development. An experiment with a completely randomized design, five treatments, and five replicates was developed in the laboratory to analyze microbial activity. Soil samples of 100 g were incubated for 36 days with concentrations of crude glycerin, namely: 0; 48.7; 146.1; 292.2 L ha-1. Besides these four treatments, flasks without soil and glycerin have composed one more treatment. During this period, the CO2 volume released in each sample was evaluated 11 times. Another experiment was developed in the laboratory with hairy beggarticks’ achenes to evaluate crude glycerin effects on plant development. A randomized complete block design was used in a 4x2 factorial scheme, with five replicates, the same glycerin concentrations, and two glycerin sources (laboratory and biodiesel plant-unit). Crude glycerin stimulated soil microbial activity for doses of up to 143.83 L ha-1, being a positive indicative for future studies on its application to agricultural soils. Glycerin applications reduced the hairy beggarticks’ root protrusion, even at the lowest doses. Residues have Na+ contents that limit their application in agricultural soils.

Published: June 2017

RESUMO A adubação orgânica pode fornecer grande parte dos nutrientes necessários à cultura da alface. No entanto, a taxa de mineralização de nutrientes pode ser limitante à absorção, sendo que outras formas de adubação complementares com fertilizantes solúveis podem ser utilizadas, como a fertirrigação. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da fertirrigação por gotejamento, com nitrogênio e potássio, aliada à adubação de plantio, no crescimento da alface Vera, cultivada em ambiente protegido. O experimento foi realizado entre agosto e outubro de 2012 (inverno e primavera; 67 dias). O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente aleatorizado, com três repetições. Os tratamentos foram formados pela matriz Plan Puebla III, isto é, da combinação entre cinco doses de nitrogênio (N) (9; 54; 90; 126 e 171 kg ha-1) e cinco doses de potássio (1,15; 6,90; 11,50; 16,10 e 21,85 kg ha-1), além da testemunha, que não recebeu fertirrigação. Concluiu-se que a fertirrigação pode ser utilizada para o crescimento da cultura mesmo com adubação orgânica de plantio. As maiores doses de N e de K2O resultaram no maior número de folhas comerciais por planta. Os aumentos das doses de N e de K2O promoveram incrementos da matéria fresca não comercial da parte aérea, sem prejuízo à qualidade comercial.

ABSTRACT Blackberry is a shrubby perennial tree with high economic importance among horticultural crops in several countries. The fruit has a good market value, both at national and international level. The objective of this work was to evaluate the multiplication of blackberry cv. Xavante cuttings under different seasons over the year, aiming to improve the production of nursery plants. The experiment was carried out from April 2012 to March 2013 and it was laid out in randomized complete block design with different types of cutting: tip, softwood, semihardwood and root, examined in different seasons: autumn, spring and summer, with 5 replications and 10 cuttings per plot. The variables studied were: cutting rooting, cutting survival, number of roots, length of major roots and roots dry weight. Cuttings of blackberry had a significant temporal variation in the percentage of successful rooting and survival of cuttings. It was verified that softwood and semihardwood cuttings collected in summer are the best option for blackberry cv. Xavante multiplication for commercial production of nursery plants.

Resumo: O objetivo foi investigar diferenças de gênero e idade na associação entre dimensões do apoio social e índice de massa corporal (IMC) com amostra de 1.465 adultos (20 a 59 anos) de estudo de base populacional realizado em Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Antropometria foi realizada por avaliadores treinados e o apoio social obtido pelo Medical Outcomes Study, adaptado e validado para a população brasileira. Análises foram conduzidas por meio de regressões lineares múltiplas, estratificadas por sexo e faixa etária, considerando o fator de expansão da amostra e desenho complexo. A prevalência de obesidade foi de 28% entre mulheres e de 16,2% entre homens. Ajustando para fatores de confusão, observou-se associação negativa para apoio social e IMC entre homens de 40-49 anos, nos apoios emocional/informação (β = -2,04) e interação social positiva (β = -2,40). Associação positiva para apoio social e IMC entre homens de 50-59 anos no apoio emocional/informação (β = 1,84). O estudo indica que o apoio social pode ser protetor para obesidade para homens em algumas dimensões e faixas etárias. Porém, o apoio social não parece ser fator de proteção entre as mulheres.
Association of adverse oral health outcomes with socioeconomic inequalities and dental needs in Brazilian adolescents
Authors: Figueiredo Daniela de Rossi , Bastos João Luiz , Peres Karen Glazer
Published: June 2017

Abstract: This study aimed to explore the relations between adverse oral outcomes and socioeconomic, demographic, and self-rated oral health variables and to describe their distribution. Principal component analysis was conducted on data from adolescents in the Brazilian National Oral Health Survey (N = 5,445). Higher loadings were found for crowding (0.6), maxillary and mandibular irregularities (0.5), and count of communitary periodontal index (CPI) sextants with bleeding and dental calculus (0.5). The mean rates for periodontal and occlusal disorders were at least two times higher in adolescents from lower income families and those reporting the need for dental prostheses, as well as those dissatisfied with their dental and overall oral health. Increased mean rates of occlusal disorders were associated with schooling delay and history of toothache in the previous six months. The mean scores suggested accumulation of at least one of the negative oral health indicators in the lower income strata, among adolescents with schooling delay, and in those reporting dental needs. The results suggest priorities for planning and monitoring as a function of oral health requirements.

RESUMO Foi realizado um estudo de avaliabilidade do Projeto de Mobilização Social para Prevenção e Controle da Dengue no Estado da Bahia, assim como foi descrito o modelo de intervenção prático. Foram conduzidas entrevistas junto a informantes-chave, análise documental e observação participante. Os resultados apontam que o Projeto pode ser considerado implementado, e seus principais resultados se situaram em torno da mudança do enfoque sobre dengue na pauta da mídia, bem como da maior integração dos entes federados e entre os Agentes Comunitários de Saúde e os Agentes de Endemias. Aspectos relacionados ao contexto municipal foram vistos como obstáculos para o alcance dos resultados esperados.

Published: June 2017

RESUMO Este estudo elaborou um modelo lógico de atenção à pessoa com fissura labiopalatina, para subsidiar avaliações em centros de reabilitação do País. Foram revisadas as diretrizes internacionais da área, publicações de especialistas do Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais da Universidade de São Paulo e do Ministério da Saúde. O modelo contempla duas dimensões - Gestão da atenção e Reabilitação do paciente -, além de demarcar objetivos, atividades e resultados necessários para a reabilitação integral do indivíduo. A modelização da intervenção é passo essencial para a elaboração do instrumento de avaliação dessa atenção, que poderá ser reproduzida nos vários estados brasileiros.

Published: June 2017

RESUMO O estudo objetivou monitorar a execução e o grau de implantação do Programa de Pesquisa para o SUS: gestão compartilhada em saúde, no País. Utilizou como estratégia de pesquisa o estudo de casos múltiplos, na busca ativa nos documentos do programa e no Sistema Pesquisa Saúde, do Ministério da Saúde. O programa lançou cinco edições e investiu R$ 274,5 milhões na contratação de 2.923 projetos de pesquisa, tendo sido executado de forma descentralizada. Está 'implantado' em 20 estados, e 'parcialmente implantado' nos demais. O êxito da ação pode ser medido pelo aporte de recursos federais e estaduais, pela adesão da comunidade científica e dos gestores do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS).

RESUMO Constitui objetivo deste estudo o de avaliar a implantação das ações do Programa de Controle da Hanseníase (PCH) em nível distrital no município de Recife, Pernambuco. Trata-se de avaliação normativa, baseada em critérios e parâmetros orientados pela construção de um modelo lógico. O grau de implantação do PCH no distrito foi classificado como parcialmente adequado. Os critérios pior avaliados quanto à estrutura foram os recursos humanos e o espaço físico e quanto ao processo, o acolhimento, a educação permanente e a cogestão. A avaliação evidenciou que avanços ainda são necessários na descentralização das ações do PCH para o nível local.

Published: June 2017

RESUMO O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a implantação das ações do Programa de Controle da Esquistossomose (PCE) em três municípios da Mata Sul de Pernambuco. Trata-se de uma avaliação normativa, com a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais da vigilância em saúde e da atenção básica. Os resultados encontrados demonstram que os municípios estudados obtiveram o grau não implantado. Como pontos críticos, observaram-se deficiências na gestão e na execução de ações de educação em saúde. Porém, é importante ressaltar que, nos três municípios avaliados, foi possível constatar um envolvimento relevante da atenção básica nas ações do PCE.

Authors: Oliveira Egléubia Andrade de , Cardoso Gisela Cordeiro Pereira , Santos Elizabeth Moreira dos , Oliveira Margareth Martins , Cruz Marly Marques
Published: June 2017

RESUMO Este artigo reflete sobre o apoiador institucional do Ministério da Saúde a partir da avaliação de implementação do Projeto QualiSUS-Rede. Utiliza-se o referencial de atores intermediários, inspirado na Teoria Ator-Rede, adaptada ao objeto do estudo. Entrevistaram-se treze apoiadores, explorando-se as operações de translação e os domínios de mediação cognitivos, estratégicos e logísticos. Os resultados indicam a legitimação da função apoio como unidade organizacional, embora com pouca autonomia gerencial e financeira, diluindo a possibilidade desses atores de produzir e gerenciar conexões inovadoras para a construção de alianças, encaminhamentos e superação de conflitos e controvérsias.
Estudo exploratório dos modelos de avaliação de desempenho em saúde: uma apreciação da capacidade avaliativa
Authors: Reis Ana Cristina , Santos Elizabeth Moreira dos , Arruda Marcela Rocha de , Oliveira Paulo de Tarso Ribeiro de
Published: June 2017

RESUMO Este artigo identifica e analisa os modelos de avaliação de desempenho de sistemas de saúde, considerando-se a sua capacidade avaliativa. Realizou-se a revisão sistemática da literatura, identificando-se seis artigos que apresentaram o modelo adotado para a avaliação de desempenho. Procedeu-se à apreciação da capacidade avaliativa segundo critérios definidos de meta-avaliação. Conclui-se que o foco dos debates em torno dos modelos enfatiza as dimensões avaliativas, o perfil e qualidade dos indicadores em detrimento da compreensão pactuada do 'avaliando' e do processo de valoração. Espera-se ter contribuído para a sistematização de critérios de meta-avaliação de modelos avaliativos.
