Published: September 2017

Background: Periodontal disease (PD) is characterized by inflammatory tissue destruction in tooth supporting apparatus. Many studies indicate that the underlying pathogenesis is in concordance with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) sharing immune-inflammatory events affect both diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate serum cytokine levels in association with periodontal disease in PD and RA subjects. Materials & Methods: Periodontal examination was performed in RA (n=38), PD (n=38) and healthy subjects (n=14). Bleeding on probing (BOP) and probing pocket depth (PPD) were measured. Marginal bone loss (MBL) for premolars and molars was measured on digital panoramic radiographs. PD was defined as present if the PPD was ≥5mm in ≥ 3 different sites. Serum samples were collected from all subjects. A multiplex proximity extension assay (PEA) was used to analyze the samples for simultaneous measurement of 92 cytokines. Cytokines with more than 60% quantitative results were included. Results: A significant correlation was seen between BOP and IL-8, VEGF-A and CCL28. Serum levels of VEGF-A, MCP-3, LAP TGF-beta-1, uPA ,MCP-1,IL-17A, CXCL11,TRAIL,CXCL9,CST5, OSM, CXCL1, CCL4, CD6, IL-18, SLAMF1, TGFA, MCP-4, CCL11, TNFSF14, MMP-1, CCL19, IL-15RA, IL-10RB, Beta-NGF, CXCL5, TRANCE, IL-12B, MMP-10, IL-10, CD5, MIP-1 alpha, CXCL6, CXCL10, 4E-BP1, SIRT2, CCL28, DNE, FGF-19, MCP-2, CASP-8, CCL25, CX3CL1, TNFRSF9, NT-3, TWEAK, ST1A1, STAMPB, ADA, and TNFB were negatively correlated with PPD measuring 3-<5mm. Eight cytokines were positively associated with PPD ≥5mm (OPG, IL-6, CD5, CD6, LIF-R, HGF, CASP-8). Number of teeth were associated with 16 markers (IL-8, OPG, CXCL11, OSM, IL-18, SLAMF1, CCL11, FGF-21, CCL19, IL-15RA, Flt3L, CXCL10, 4E-BP1, SIRT2, CCL25, CX3CL1, and ST1A1). MBL in mandibular molars and premolars was significantly correlated to CST5 and CD6. Conclusion: Systemic inflammatory burden is associated with deep periodontal pockets. Shallow pockets are not associated with a higher inflammatory state. Higher IL-8 is a marker for increased gingival inflammation.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of death in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In addition to glycemic control, a major focus of diabetes treatment involves cardiovascular (CV) risk reduction. In 2008, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) instituted a new requirement that new drugs developed and studied for the treatment of T2D must undergo CV safety testing. Since the advent of this new policy, canagliflozin, empagliflozin, liraglutide and semaglutide have demonstrated superior CV event reduction – via a composite of reduction in CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), and nonfatal stroke – compared with placebo in patients with T2D and existing CVD, or at high risk of CVD. Multiple studies are underway to evaluate the CV outcomes of other antihyperglycemic agents. In a time when there are numerous drugs in the T2D armamentarium, positive CV outcomes data influence drug selection and aids practitioners in making more individualised therapeutic recommendations for their patients.

Introduction: The structured Benefit–risk Action Team (BRAT) approach aims to assist healthcare decision makers in treatment assessments. We applied BRAT to compare the benefit–risk profile of ranibizumab 0.5 mg versus laser photocoagulation for the treatment of diabetic macular oedema (DMO). Methods: One-year data for the ranibizumab 0.5 mg pro re nata (PRN) and laser arms of the phase III trials RESPOND (NCT01135914; n=220), RESTORE (NCT00687804; n=345), and REVEAL (NCT00989989; n=396) were included in the analysis. The benefit measures included ≥10 letters gain/avoidance of loss in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), achieving central retinal thickness (CRT) <275 μm, and 25-item Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25) outcomes. The risks measures included endophthalmitis, intraocular pressure increase, hypertension, proteinuria, arterial/venous thromboembolic events and deaths. Results: Ranibizumab treatment provided significant benefits compared with laser for ≥10 letter BCVA gain at month 12 (387/1,000 versus 152/1,000 patients), CRT <275 μm at 12 months (474/1,000 versus 348/1,000 patients), and improvement of ≥6.06 on the VFQ-25 near activities subscale (325/1,000 versus 245/1,000 patients). Results for the risk measures were similar for both treatments. Conclusions: Superior clinically relevant outcomes were observed with ranibizumab 0.5 mg PRN compared with laser without compromising on safety. This analysis further supports the positive benefit–risk profile of ranibizumab 0.5 mg PRN.

Published: September 2017

Employees are the building blocks and valuable assets in an organization. Organizational researchers and practitioners have shown a burgeoning attention to satisfy and retain key performer as the cost of leaving a job is very high for the employing organizations. Discovering turnover intention in its formation stages is very crucial, not only to resist its’ piled up effect but also to control the actual turnover in the future. Most of the times, management is not aware of the employee’s quit intention because employees don’t show their intention explicitly until they actually leave the organization. However, majority of the times employees share their feeling with their colleagues or other close work mates. Based on positive relationship at work, we argued that the individuals who work together normally share their feelings with their close colleagues regarding their decision of leaving or staying (expressed turnover intention) with the current employer. Therefore, the objective of the current study is to investigate the relationship between turnover intention and expressed turnover intention. Furthermore, we offer a new perspective to data collection from other sources, which will assist us in shortening the questionnaire, also minimizing the common method bias and knowing the quit intention from other source. Finally, theoretical and practical implications along with direction for future studies are also discussed.

The paper presents the decision for the question of the excessive catalytic collector high frequency noise in the automobile engine exhaust system. The high level noise has been observed under the idle state engine condition. In order to understand the causes of the high catalytic collector noise emission the research of its vibroacoustic internals has been performed. An experimental stand for the acoustic and vibration response on broadband dynamic excitation tests has been created. The power of the acoustic noise, emitted by the catalytic collector and vibration distribution of its surface have been defined. It was found that the catalytic collector surface has the low acoustic impedance in the high frequency range. The surface vibration damper design has been developed. A special material, so called metal rubber, has been used to damp the vibration. The main advantage of this material is the temperature tolerance, quite useful for the engine exhaust system unit. The use of the damper has allowed to reduce the structure-born noise of the catalytic collector.

Thermoacoustic Oscillations in Resonators
Authors: Matveev Konstantin I.
Published: September 2017

Thermoacoustic processes involve heat and sound interactions. Their appearances and applications range from combustion instabilities to novel refrigerators and imaging techniques. The focus of this paper is on thermoacoustic oscillations occurring in gases inside chambers. The conversion of heat to sound energy in resonators generally requires in-phase fluctuations of acoustic pressure and heat addition, whereas in specially designed systems the supplied sound can pump heat along solid surfaces from low to high temperature regions. Fundamentals, investigation methods, and some applications of thermoacoustic oscillating phenomena in resonators are reviewed in this paper.
VIBROACOUSTIC DIAGNOSTICS OF OPEN-TYPE (UN-PRESSURIZED) SPACECRAFTS
Authors: Lysenko E. A. , Berns V. A.
Published: September 2017

A special feature of the open design spacecraft is the presence of a CFRP (carbon-fiber reinforced plastic) cylinder around which three-layered honeycomb panels are fixed by means of pylons. The electronic equipment, antenna and feeder relay systems, units and instruments of the satellite control system are installed on these panels. Vibration loading of such structures is proposed to carry out both with the help of an electrodynamic shaker (up to 100 Hz) and a diffuse sound field in the reverberation chamber. The structure response to acoustic and vibration loading is fixed by accelerometers and presented in the form of amplitude-frequency characteristics and the power spectral density function of the random signal from the vibration frequency. The spacecraft defects are determined by parametric variations of its vibration response. To do this, vibration and acoustic tests are carried out in three stages. At the first stage the probing vibration loading the structure with low intensity is performed. Test results - resonant frequencies and vibration amplitudes are compared with the design values or the values defined at the ground experimental development of the spacecraft. At the second stage the tests are performed at high loads, but in safe modes, calculated by a special technique. The third stage is a repetition of the first one. As a result, the defect location and nature are determined by the vibration parameters deviations. The article presents the methodology main statements and the spacecrafts vibroacoustic diagnostics results. It is concluded that the use of such diagnostics in the final stages of products manufacturing is reasonable.

Published: September 2017

Interactions between the polymers and amphiphiles in aqueous solutions have generated considerable interest among researchers because of the widespread applications, relatively complex behavior and improved physicochemical properties of the mixtures. Numerous studies on the surfactant-polymer systems have been carried out in recent years and the number of scientific reports has considerably increased. Various applications of polymers in different areas and many works concerning the amphiphiles are being published every year. Usually, the mixed systems containing polymers and amphiphiles show solution properties different from those of individual solutions due to interaction between the components. The present review article mainly focuses on the behaviour of polymers in aqueous solutions, in the absence or presence of amphiphiles, such as surfactants, drugs, etc. It also summarizes effect of the nature of amphiphiles on aggregation properties of polymers in aqueous solution, and interaction of conventional as well as gemini surfactants with polymers.

Published: September 2017

The experiment was designed for 42 days to assess dietary supplementation of Bacillus Subtilis (GalliPro-DSM 17299) on growth performance and intestinal health against C. perfringens induced necrotic enteritis in broiler birds. Birds (n=400) were divided in to four groups [healthy (control), infected, healthy supplemented with B. subtilis @ 500 g/T of feed (1.2 x 106 cfu/g); infected supplemented with B. Subtilis@ 500 g/T ] with five replicates of 20 birds in each group. Necrotic enteritis was induced in broiler birds via inoculation of 50,000 oocysts of mixed strains of Eimeria species on 14 days of age followed by C. perfringens (107 cfu/mL) on 17, 18 and 19 days of age. Study revealed that necrotic enteritis challenge suppressed the body weight gain significantly, whereas infected birds supplemented with Bacillus subtilis showed significantly higher body weight gain. The feed intake and feed conversion ratio was not significantly affected in any of the groups. Significant reduction was noticed in bacterial count of C. perfringens infected birds supplemented with B. subtilis. Intestinal damage was observed in the infected control birds while it was recovered in birds supplemented with B. subtilis. The significant beneficial effect of B. Subtilis was recorded in the production performance of broiler chicken even in the absence of necrotic enteritis challenge. Thus it was concluded that supplementation of B. Subtilis helps to improve body weight gain and gut health to control necrotic enteritis.

Published: September 2017

The present experiment was designed to evaluate the sweet sorghum (SS) silage which is both grain and forage yielding type, with or without supplementation in a 120 d growth-cum-digestion trial to develop SS silage based feeding system for growing ram lambs. Twenty four ram lambs (11.33 ±0.12 kg) were randomly divided into four groups of six each and fed SS silage, SS silage supplemented with dried subabul leaves, concentrate mixture and ground maize grain at 1% of their live weight. Digestibility study was conducted at the end of the growth trail following collection period of 7 days. The CP content of SS silage was 8.44%. ADG (g) was significantly (P>0.01) higher in lambs fed SS silage with supplements than without supplements. Feed conversion ratio (DMI kg/kg gain) in Nellore growing ram lambs ranged from 6.56-9.02 and significant difference (P>0.01) was observed among the experimental groups. Among the supplemental groups cost ()/kg live weight gain was significantly (P>0.01) highest in ram lambs fed with concentrate followed by supplementation with dried subabul leaves and ground maize grain. No significant difference was found among the four groups for digestibility coefficients except for EE (P >0.01). Lambs fed on sole SS silage had significantly lower DMI, DCP and TDN intake (P >0.01) than those fed on SS silage with supplemental diets. Feeding sweet sorghum silage with supplements like top feeds, compound feed and maize grain at 1% of their body weight improved performance, nutrient digestibility and met energy/protein requirements in growing lambs. It is concluded that supplementation of SS silage with ground maize at 1% of their live weight is considered to be economical for rearing of growing ram lambs.

The present study 180, day-old broiler chicks (Vencobb) were randomly distributed into 3 treatment groups with three replicates in each group. The chicks were placed in 9 pens with 20 chicks in each pen and reared in deep litter system under uniform management conditions. Control starter (0-3 wk) and finisher (4-6 wk) diets were formulated to meet the entire nutrients. Subsequently two test diets were prepared by incorporating acid treated fish silage at 5 and 10% level. Each diet was offered ad libium to 3 pens of 20 chicks each throughout the experimental period (0-6 wks). Dietary incorporation of acid treated fish silage up to 10% had no influence on body weight gain and feed consumption of broilers. The feed conversion ratio improved significantly by incorporation of fish silage at both 5 and 10%, during starter phase, but no influence was noticed subsequently. Fish silage up to 10% in the diet did not affect the dressed percentage and relative weight of other carcass parameters such as liver, heart, gizzard, breast and abdominal fat. The albumin to globulin ratio increased significantly (P>0.05) due to incorporation of fish silage at 10% in the diet compared to that of control. The serum triglyceride concentration increased significantly (P>0.05) at 10% level of inclusion of fish silage in diet. Lowest cholesterol concentration was found in the dietary group fed the control diet. The serum cholesterol concentration increased significantly (P>0.05) and linearly by increasing the level of fish silage from 5 to 10%. It is concluded that acid treated fish silage can be incorporated upto 10% in the diet without any adverse effect on performance of broiler chickens.

Published: September 2017

Present experiment was conducted to study the effect of varied levels of metabolizable energy (ME) on performance and antioxidant status of Murrah buffaloes. Advance pregnant Murrah buffaloes (n=16) were randomly divided into three experimental groups i.e., 5, 5 and 6 animals in LME, MME and HME, respectively on the basis of most probable production ability (MPPA) and lactation number. They were fed graded levels of ME, namely low metabolizable energy (LME), medium metabolizable energy (MME), high metabolizable energy (HME) which is 85, 100 and 115 percent of ICAR, 2013 requirements for 130 days, duration i.e., 40 day prepartum to 90 days postpartum. Animals in group LME, MME and HME were offered concentrate with metabolizable energy content (MJ/kg DM) 11.80, 12.18, and 13.85, respectively. Green fodder (maize) and dry roughage (wheat straw) were fed as per the experimental protocol. No significant effect on dry matter intake (DMI), crude protein (CPI) and metabolizable protein (MPI) (% BW) were observed due to dietary variation in ME. ME intake (MJ/100 kg BW) before and after calving was statistical (P>0.05) higher in HME (15.01, 24.66) followed by MME (14.07, 22.11) and LME (12.33, 19.16) groups, respectively. Significant (P>0.05) higher milk yield efficiency (kg/kg DMI) and 6% FCM (kg/kg DMI) were observed in MME in comparison to HME group. The antioxidant profile revealed no significant influence of dietary treatment on superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ferric reducing activity of plasma (FRAP) whereas significant (P>0.05) lower level of antioxidant status i.e., glutathione peroxidase (GPx) (µmol/L) in HME (1834.60) than LME (2240.23) was observed. Considering optimum production performance and similar antioxidant activity among treatment groups, it can be concluded that ICAR, 2013 recommendations are suitable for feeding transition Murrah buffaloes.

The aim of this study was to investigate the macroanatomy and histology of the caecum in guinea fowl using light and scanning electron microscopy. Six adult male and six adult female guinea fowl were used as the study material. The cavum abdominis of the animals was opened under anaesthesia, and the caeca uncovered. The height and thickness of the villi were smaller in the apex and corpus caeca than in the basis caeci. The SEM image of the guinea fowl caeca showed that the villi send finger like extensions into the lumen, and the height of the villi towards the basis caeca increases and exhibits a tight structure.Thus, in this study, the anatomy and histology of guinea fowl caeca were examined in detail using light and scanning electron microscopy, and the similarities and differences with the caeca of other poultry species were investigated.

Authors: Souza Maria Zélia Maia , Silveira Lima Solyane
Published: September 2017

Este artigo discutiu as estratégias de governo de crianças e jovens desvalidos por meio da análise de duas instituições públicas de proteção e profissionalização à esse grupo social. Tomou-se como referência a presença estatal na organização e manutenção da Companhia de Aprendizes Marinheiros de Sergipe e do Asilo de Meninos Desvalidos localizado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Nesse sentido, foram destacadas as práticas da emergência do assistencialismo público e, portanto, o protagonismo do Estado brasileiro na formação de crianças pobres, tanto para os quadros militares quanto para os postos de trabalho nos setores da sociedade civil. Para viabilizar a investigação foi constituída uma série documental composta por relatórios de ministros; normas e regulamentos das instituições em exame. A investigação ancorou-se nas noções de civilização, e Estado protetor/providência. A análise da intercessão existente entre essas duas instituições possibilitou compreender a heterogeneidade de um modo peculiar de organização da assistência pela profissionalização, ou seja, estabelecimentos civis e militares, que acumularam as funções de asilo e de educação escolar profissionalizante para além da escola regular
Del enseñar y el aprender

Enseñar estuvo relacionado con la transmisión de contenidos de orden formativo, con la razón y el conocimiento como eje de la actividad, y con un sujeto que al poseer el saber lo comunica y controla la apropiación por parte de sus aprendices. Este ejercicio privilegia no solo las formas de la transmisión, la memoria, el contenido y la evaluación heterónoma como axioma, sino que a su vez posiciona una manera determinada de hacerlo. De otra parte, el aprender ha sido considerado, a diferencia del enseñar, como el ejercicio propio de los sujetos sobre los cuales actúa el enseñar. En este sentido, el aprender está situado en las estructuras de pensamiento, el proceso, la actividad y la posibilidad de confrontación de los conocimientos cotidianos con los científicos.
Mogućnosti primene instrumenata upitničkog tipa namenjenih samoproceni kapaciteta za samozastupanje osoba sa intelektualnim teškoćama
Authors: Petrović Boban , Tadić Katarina , Stojisavljević Duška
Published: September 2017

U poslednjih desetak godina, u skladu sa filozofijom inkluzije, sve veća pažnja posvećuje se mogućnosti upitničke samoprocene osobama sa intelektualnim teškoćama u pogledu različitih psiholoških konstrukata. Međutim, podaci su različiti, od onih koji ukazuju na nemogućnost dobijanja pouzdanih i validnih odgovora na upitnicima, do onih koji pokazuju da upitnici namenjeni samoproceni OSIT mogu imati adekvatnu pouzdanost i validnost. Osnovni cilj ovog istraživanja ticao se ispitivanja mogućnosti dobijanja pouzdanih i validnih podataka na osnovu samoprocene osoba sa intelektualnim teškoćama na setu različitih instrumenata namenjenih ispitivanju kapaciteta za samozastupanje. U tom smislu, na uzorak od 35 osoba sa intelektualnim teškoćama različitog pola, starosti, tipa i stepena teškoća, primenjen je set od 6 instrumenata namenjenih samoproceni: samopoštovanja, samoodlučivanja, vršenja izbora, rešavanja problema, poznavanja prava i samoodređenja. Podaci su obrađeni analizom glavnih komponenti, kao i programom RTT10G za utvrđivanje metrijskih karakteristika instrumenata. Rezultati pokazuju da, uprkos blagom narušavanju pri drugom merenju, instrumenti poseduju adekvatne metrijske karakteristike (reprezentativnost, homogenost i pouzdanost), te da se radi o jednodimenzionalnim instrumentima. Stoga, može se reći da postoji mogućnost pouzdane i validne upitničke samoprocene različitih dimenzija samoodređenja i samozastupanja kod osoba sa intelektualnim teškoćama.
VALIDATION OF THE CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE SCALE ON A SERBIAN SAMPLE
Authors: Starčević Jelena , Petrović Danijela S. , Komnenić Darko
Published: September 2017

This study deals with determining reliability, factorial validity, and convergent-discriminant validity of the Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS) and its subscales on a sample of university students in Serbia (N = 336). The convergent-discriminant validity of the scale and its four subscales are verified by testing the relationship with measures of social and emotional intelligence (Social Skills Inventory), personality (Big Five), and self-assessment of intercultural experience. The study results reveal high reliability of the scale and its subscales (.79 ≤ α ≤ .90), and confirm the four-factor structure of the CQS in accordance with the theoretical model that lies in its basis. In addition, the relationships of cultural intelligence measures and measures of other constructs are in line with the expectations. The correlations with measures of social and emotional intelligence are mostly statistically significant, ranging from low to moderate. Deviations from this pattern of correlations are explained by certain characteristics of the Social Skills Inventory, which imply the nature of the components of cultural intelligence at the same time. The CQS and its subscales reach the strongest correlation with Openness (.24 ≤ .r ≤ .41), compared to other basic dimensions of personality, but not to an extent that would suggest that they are indicators of the same construct. The correlations of the CQS and its subscales with the measures of intercultural experience are positive and mostly statistically significant. The results, in general, support the implementation of the CQS for assessment of individual differences in the intercultural interaction in the Serbian population.
DISTINKTIVNOST U OKVIRU POZITIVNOG I NEGATIVNOG AFEKTA: VALIDACIJA SRPSKE ADAPTACIJE INVENTARA ZA PROCENU POZITIVNOG I NEGATIVNOG AFEKTA (PANAS)
Authors: Drobnjaković Emilija , Dinić Bojana , Mihić Ljiljana
Published: September 2017

U prethodnim studijama konvergentna i divergentna validnost srpske adaptacije Inventara za procenu pozitivnog i negativnog afekta (PANAS) potvrđena je kako u ispitivanju korelacija sa osobinama ličnosti, tako i u slučaju indukcije tuge i strahopoštovanja. U ovom istraživanju je sprovedena dalja validacija PANAS-a, poređenjem sa sadržajima koji su više u vezi sa samim predmetima merenja supskala, a ne opštih skala pozitivnog (PA) i negativnog afekta (NA). Istraživanje je sprovedeno kroz dve studije. U prvoj studiji na uzorku od 410 studenata ispitivane su relacije između supskala PANAS-a i inventara ličnosti HEXACO–PI–R. Rezultati pokazuju da je dominantni korelat supskala PANAS-a ekstraverzija tj. njene facete, dok pojedine facete drugih osobina ostvaruju niske ili umerene korelacije sa supskalama PANAS-a. Rezultati ukazuju na kompatibilnost afekta i osobina, pri čemu je primećeno da supskala strah iz PANAS-a ostvaruje nešto višu korelaciju sa facetom anksioznost nego strašljivost iz inventara HEXACO–PI–R. U drugoj studiji ispitane su promene na supskalama PANAS-a pre i posle indukcije besa, straha, radosti i neutralnog afekta. U eksperimentu je učestovalo 87 studenata, podeljenih u četiri grupe u odnosu na indukciju određenog afekta, pri čemu je indukcija vršena preko filmskih isečaka. Rezultati pokazuju da supskale strah i radost uspešno detektuju promene u afektu, i to one koje su specifično vezane za njihov predmet merenja. Naime, dobijena je značajna promena na ovim supskalama usled indukcije kompatibilnog afekta, dok nema promena na ostalim supskalama u okviru istog domena afekta (NA ili PA). Međutim, u slučaju indukcije besa, dobijeno je povišenje samo na supskali strah, dok su skorovi na supskali hostilnost ostali nepromenjeni. Detaljnim uvidom u ajteme na kojima je došlo do promene primećeno je da su to ajtemi koji referiraju na bihejvioralnu napatost, a ne direktno na subjektivnu komponentu afekta straha. Pored toga, skorovi na supskali budnost su bili povišeni i pre i posle indukcije, što može ukazivati na to da se ovaj aspekt pozitivnog afekta razlikuje od ostalih. Rezultati generalno pokazuju da je srpska adapatacija PANAS-a validna mera afekta, s tim što prilikom tumačenja skorova na supskalama negativnog afekta treba uzeti u obzir i neke zajedničke karakteristike različitih afekata kao što je npr. bihejvioralna napetost.
SOME DETERMINANTS OF THE PERCEPTION OF WORK–FAMILY CONFLICT: A DYADIC APPROACH
Authors: Šimunić Ana , Pandža Maja , Gregov Ljiljana
Published: September 2017

The general aim of this study was to examine the contribution of perceived social support from family, the quality of family functioning, attitudes about marital roles, and striving for achievement to the perceived conflict between work and family roles by using a dyadic approach. Namely, the interaction of spouses’ perceptions was taken into account (actor and partner effects) in predicting work-to-family and family-to-work conflicts. This study was conducted on a sample of 176 employed married couples in the territory of central and western Herzegovina and central Dalmatia. Self-assessment questionnaires were used. In women, social support from family was a significant predictor for both examined types of work–family conflicts, and partner effects were greater than actor effects, especially for family-to-work conflict. Both partners’ striving for achievement was a positive predictor of family-to-work conflict in women, while there was only a contribution of the actor striving for achievement to both types of work–family conflict in men. In men, the only partner effect was obtained in the relationship between social support from family and family-to-work conflict. In general, the results indicated that the assessments of male spouses were more related to their wife’s work–family conflict than vice versa, and that these variables were more related to family-to-work conflict than to work-to-family conflict.

Authors: Vogt Carlos
Published: September 2017

No Brasil, a importância da educação superior como forma de produção de conhecimento e de profissionalização tem se intensificado. Tendo consolidado o funcionamento desse sistema, as políticas do Estado de São Paulo voltadas para a área de ensino superior tem investido em programas de expansão do ensino superior para ampliar o número de vagas oferecidas e de ampliar sua distribuição geográfica. Diante dos limites físicos de expansão do ensino superior público paulista emerge a proposta do ensino virtual - uma concepção de educação que ultrapassa os limites geográficos – por meio do programa Universidade Virtual do Estado de São Paulo – UNIVESP. O programa, como abordado no presente artigo, amplia o número de vagas nas três universidades públicas paulistas – USP, UNICAMP E UNESP – utilizando metodologia inovadora, que associa o uso intensivo das tecnologias de informação e comunicação às práticas tradicionais do ensino presencial, o que permite uma grande qualidade na formação dos alunos.

Authors: Quadros Ronice Müller de , Stumpf Marianne Rossi
Published: September 2017

Em 2006, foi iniciado o primeiro curso de Letras Língua de Sinais Brasileira – LIBRAS – no Brasil. A Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina está oferecendo o curso para formar professores de língua de sinais. Esta iniciativa atende a exigências legais que requerem a inclusão da LIBRAS nos currículos dos cursos de licenciatura e de fonoaudiologia em todas universidades do país. O programa selecionou 500 estudantes, sendo que 447 são surdos e 53 são ouvintes bilíngües. Esses estudantes estão espalhados em nove estados brasileiros: Amazonas, Ceará, Bahia, Distrito Federal, Goiás, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul e Santa Catarina, representando cinco regiões do país. O sistema de educação utiliza a modalidade a distância, em que a LIBRAS é a língua de instrução com diferentes materiais: ambiente virtual de ensino e DVDs. Além disso, os alunos têm acesso a diferentes tipos de textos na LIBRAS. Toda a estrutura está sendo pensada juntamente com profissionais surdos que são designers instrucionais e demais profissionais. O objetivo é implementar um curso “surdo”, no sentido de atender ao público alvo do curso, ou seja, organizado a partir das experiências visuais e na língua de sinais. Neste artigo, nós apresentaremos como este curso está sendo implementado.

Authors: Miranda Carlos Eduardo Albuquerque , Prado Guilherme do Val Toledo
Published: September 2017

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar a experiência de EAD da disciplina ‘Escola, Gestão e Cultura’ no ‘Curso de Especialização em Gestão Educacional’ (CEGE) oferecido pela Faculdade de Educação da Unicamp. A proposta de EAD desta disciplina é trabalhar com educação visual e produção de narrativas de professores. Utilizamos as ferramentas de comunicação do ambiente virtual TelEduc para implementar uma dinâmica pedagógica assincrônica de trabalho docente. Esta dinâmica se apresenta como alternativa à lógica de concomitância entre parte presencial e parte em EAD do CEGE. Os resultados apresentados permitem-nos refletir sobre as potencialidades pedagógicas das tecnologias de informação e comunicação e alguns posicionamentos em relação ao trabalho docente em EAD.
