FREE-HAND PLACEMENT OF C7 PEDICLE SCREWS: A CADAVERIC STUDY
Authors: Vialle Emiliano , Herrera Luis , Vialle Luiz Roberto , Gomes Luis
Published: December 2015

Objective : To evaluate the accuracy of free-hand pedicle screws placement at the seventh cervical vertebra. Methods : The authors have exposed the cervicothoracic junction of 9 adult cadavers (7 male and 2 female) preserved in formalin from the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad Andina Néstor Cáceres Velásquez, city of Juliaca, Puno - Peru, locating the C7 vertebra based on anatomical parameters. According to previous publications, the entry point for the C7 pedicle was determined as 3-4mm lateral and 5-6mm superior to the center of the lateral mass, and the pedicle was drilled manually and instrumented with 3.5mm screws. After the screws placement, the C7 vertebrae were removed for radiographic analysis. Results : The authors were able to adequately locate the C7 entry point in 12 pedicles (66.6% accuracy), finding a great variability both laterally (2-5mm) and cranially (3-10mm). The angulation in the coronal plane was correct in 13 pedicles (72.3%), despite the incorrect location of the entry point. Angle values in the coronal plane ranged from 38 to 62 degrees. In the sagittal plane angulation, 2 screws were placed in the C6-C7 disc. The midtransversal diameter of the 18 pedicles ranged from 4 to 7mm. Conclusions : The location of the entry point for placement of C7 pedicle screws with pure free-hand technique is very variable due to anatomical differences and the authors recommend some type of guidance for increased safety and accuracy.

Published: December 2015

Abstract The aims of this survey were to determine the frequency of anti-Toxoplasma gondii and anti-Neospora caninum antibodies and to identify the risk factors associated with seropositivity among buffaloes in the state of Paraíba, Brazil. This survey included 136 buffaloes belonging to 14 herds. To detect anti-T. gondii and anti-N. caninum antibodies, the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) was used. Among the 136 samples analyzed, 17 (12.5%) were positive for anti-T. gondii antibodies with titers ranging from 64 to 1,024, and 26 (19.1%) for anti-N. caninum with titers from 200 to 1,600. Animals seropositive for both T. gondii and N. caninum were found in 10 of the 14 herds (71.4%). Semi-intensive management systems (odds ratio = 2.99) and presence of pigs (odds ratio = 4.33) were identified as risk factors for T. gondii and N. caninum, respectively. It can be suggested that T. gondii and N. caninum are widespread in buffaloes in Paraíba, and that additional surveys are needed in order to ascertain the importance of these agents for this species and for pigs, and the influence of the farming type on occurrences of seropositive animals.
Stochastic analysis of seepage under water-retaining structures
Authors: Ahmed Ashraf A. , Moutari Salissou , Oyedele Lukumon
Published: December 2015

This paper investigated the problem of confined flow under dams and water-retaining structures using stochastic modelling. The approach advocated in the study combined a finite-element method based on the equation governing the dynamics of incompressible fluid flow through a porous medium with a random field generator that generates random hydraulic conductivity based on log normal probability distribution. The resulting model was then used to analyse the confined flow under a hydraulic structure. Cases for a structure provided with cut-off wall and when the wall did not exist were both tested. Various statistical parameters that reflected different degrees of heterogeneity were examined and the changes in the mean seepage flow, the mean uplift force and the mean exit gradient observed under the structure were analysed. Results reveal that under heterogeneous conditions, the reduction made by the sheet pile in the uplift force and exit hydraulic gradient may be underestimated when deterministic solutions are used.
Does Realized Volatility Help Bond Yield Density Prediction?
Authors: Shin Minchul , Zhong Molin
Published: December 2015

We suggest using "realized volatility" as a volatility proxy to aid in model-based multivariate bond yield density forecasting. To do so, we develop a general estimation approach to incorporate volatility proxy information into dynamic factor models with stochastic volatility. The resulting model parameter estimates are highly efficient, which one hopes would translate into superior predictive performance. We explore this conjecture in the context of density prediction of U.S. bond yields by incorporating realized volatility into a dynamic Nelson-Siegel (DNS) model with stochastic volatility. The results clearly indicate that using realized volatility improves density forecasts relative to popular specifications in the DNS literature that neglect realized volatility.

Published: December 2015

Atualmente, estudos sugerem que cerca de 40% a 60% da população em geral é acometida por algum tipo de Disfunção Temporomadibular (DTM), e sabe-se que essa disfunção pode ocasionar prejuízos à integridade do indivíduo. Objetivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida e da dor em indivíduos com Disfunção Temporomandibular. Material e Métodos: Foram entrevistadas 27 mulheres, submetidas à aplicação de um questionário contendo informações acerca do perfil sócio-demográfico, assim como instrumentos para coleta de informações clínicas sobre a qualidade de vida e sobre a dor existentes pela DTM. Os materiais utilizados foram Oral Health Impact Profile – 14 e Questionário de Dor Br-MPQ. Resultados: Identificou-se uma média de 31,74 anos de idade entre as participantes, a maioria com estado civil sendo solteiras e como ocupação predominante as estudantes. Quanto aos aspetos de dor, as pesquisadas apresentaram interferência em atividades como o sono (35%) e grande acometimento quanto ao apetite (30%). Prejudicando a qualidade de vida em aspectos como a dor persistente, com sensação de desconforto ao comer e tensão pelo problema bucal. Conclusão: Pôde-se observar que a DTM interferiu diretamente em aspectos da qualidade de vida das participantes (trabalho, sono e apetite), apesar do reduzido tamanho amostral, sugere-se novos estudos visando à necessidade de orientações e tratamento adequados para este público, como estratégia para minimizar os acometimentos da disfunção na vida do portador de DTM.

Rightful Radical Resistance: Mass Mobilization and Land Struggles in India and Brazil*
Authors: Schock Kurt
Published: December 2015

An examination of mass mobilizations to promote land rights of the landless and near-landless by Ekta Parishad in India and the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST) in Brazil identifies a similar strategy of rightful radical resistance that incorporates key elements of rightful resistance but also transcends it. The comparable strategy is due to similarities in context: India and Brazil are semiperipheral countries with relatively high-capacity states and representative democratic political structures, but have inequitable distributions of agricultural land despite constitutional principles and laws that embody equitable land distributions. However, given the substantial variation across India and Brazil in culture, geography, and demography, the specific forms assumed by rightful radical resistance vary. This study contributes to the social movements and civil resistance literatures by explicating the strategic logic of the mass mobilizations, explaining similarities and differences across the two cases, and illustrating the potential of civil resistance for challenging the structural violence of land dispossession and inequality.

Authors: Porto Paula , Mello Renato Cotta de
Published: December 2015

O objetivo deste estudo é investigar o papel do empreendedor e as características do processo de internacionalização de uma pequena empresa brasileira produtora de café, Yaguara Ecológico, à luz de diferentes abordagens teóricas. Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura com atenção especial às teorias de Empreendedorismo Internacional e Effectuation. O presente trabalho trata do fenômeno da International New Venture (OVIATT; McDOUGALL, 1994) e, com intuito de compreender a relevância dos empreendedores no processo de internacionalização da empresa, foi eleita a teoria Effectuation que oferece alternativas para descrever como estes pensam e se comportam ao iniciar um novo empreendimento (PERRY et al., 2012). O método para a pesquisa foi o estudo de caso único e entrevistas em profundidade foram realizadas com gestores da empresa. Os resultados sugerem que as teorias ofereceram explicações para os movimentos de internacionalização da empresa, entretanto, algumas características dessa trajetória não aderiram às proposições teóricas.
INTERLOCUÇÕES ENTRE EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA E SUPERIOR: POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS COMO REGULADORAS DA EDUCAÇÃO/DIALOGUES BETWEEN BASIC AND HIGHER EDUCATION: PUBLIC POLICIES AS REGULATORY OF EDUCATION

Objetivou-se analisar os limites e as possibilidades das ações pedagógicas no contexto da gestão educacional, a partir dos impactos, impasses e desafios enfrentados pelos sistemas e respectivas instituições no contexto de implementação das políticas públicas educacionais nas reformas educacionais, a partir da interlocução entre Educação Básica e Superior. Utilizou-se pesquisa documental, consulta à base de dados do Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira, entrevistas semiestruturadas e observação participante. Conclui-se que todos os sujeitos envolvidos precisam se apoderar dos conceitos basilares que promovem as reformas, evitando uma pseudogestão democrática, que acaba por mascarar o interesse em regulação e controle que perpassa sua formulação das mesmas.

GLOBALIZAÇÃO, LIBERALISMO ECONÔMICO E EDUCAÇÃO BRASILEIRA: QUEM CONTROLA A PRODUÇÃO DO CONHECIMENTO CIENTÍFICO?/GLOBALIZATION, ECONOMIC LIBERALISM AND BRAZILIAN EDUCATION: WHO CONTROLS THE PRODUCTION OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE?
Authors: Pinto Almeida Maria De Lourdes
Published: December 2015

O globalismo e a mundialização compreendem uma abertura histórico-geográfica de um campo de disputas entre capital e trabalho. O fordismo passa a combinar-se com ou ser substituído pela flexibilização dos processos de trabalho e produção. Vale agora, ao lado da produtividade, a capacidade de inovação e competitividade. As novas formas de organização social e técnica do trabalho formam um trabalhador coletivo desterritorializado. O mundo transforma-se em uma imensa fábrica, a fábrica global. Neste texto pretende-se discutir sobre a formação de professores no Brasil no terceiro milênio, totalmente inserido nesse processo de Mundialização do Capital, no qual o Estado que assessora a Universidade é liberal e, portanto, entende a Educação enquanto mercadoria de troca. O objetivo é mostrar que a responsável pela formação dos professores, a Universidade, possui rumos que estão diretamente ligados à sua fonte de financiamento, e se definem no interior dos programas políticos governamentais. Usaremos Gramsci, Castells e Ianni para fundamentar teoricamente essa discussão. Nosso foco estará na argumentação de que um governo que adere à concepção de mercado e pauta nela suas decisões trabalhará no sentido de tornar a Universidade uma empresa, cuja sobrevivência dependerá de sua inserção na rede global. Nesse caso, admitir-se-ia que, para sobreviver, a Universidade teria que se autoajustar conforme os fluxos aos quais estaria submetida.

Therefore, the main research objective of this work is to form an innovative competencies model focused on the realization of new management paradigm with dominating self-development and self-organization processes.
New Trends in the Regional Development
Authors: Przygoda Miroslaw
Published: December 2015

Regions are fundamental components in economic and administrative structures of each country. In present day, we can see the increase of their importance in the global dimension. This process is more and more visible from year to year and takes place on every continent. The regional policy is a special instrument, which serves for realization of topics in this subject. The assurance to equalize and permanent development, is one of the most significant regional policy issues. For areas designated as regions, the idea of development gives interesting perspectives of new possibilities and brings guarantee for better conditions of life to the society. The word: “development”, is strictly connected with the concept of constant economic growth. In the theory of regional policy, from the beginning of the industrial revolution in 18th century until the middle of 20th century, models of exogenous growth dominated. Those ideas were based on capital investment, consumption increase and expansion of big cities and industrial agglomerations. In the second half of last century, it turned out to be economically insufficient. The regional policy needed a new way of development. Scientists, business people and theoreticians of sociology and administration, began to search for a different and more effective method of regional growth. The answer for those efforts was models of endogenous growth. They are concentrated on: human capital, R&D, technical capital, self – government policy and ideas of citizens participation in the management. Those new ideas are opportunities for good prosperity, not only for well – developed areas, but also for poor – developed zones. Today, in the time of global economic stagnation, searching for new solutions in question of regional growth is strongly delimitated of those trends in regional development. They opened completely fresh notions and innovative dimensions in the surrounding world in which we exist.

Store brands, also known as private labels, own brands or retail brands, are experiencing a remarkable growth in various product categories and their acceptance by consumers seems to be unquestionable. The key drivers of the store brands’ success are the increased concentration in retailing, consumers’ much more positive attitudes towards the quality of store brands and critically, in the current economic downturn, their price, which is significantly lower than that of manufacturer brands. Sales of store brands in the Southeast European markets have not picked up yet, making these markets a compelling space to study, analyze and predict the future of store brand growth and success. Thus, this study focuses on consumer’s attitudes towards store brands in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina – an emerging market, which is highly attractive for international retailers. The main objective of this study is to analyze and validate the profile of a consumer of store brands in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the context of personal care products. For the purposes of this study, the mall-intercept survey was carried out at selected hypermarket locations. Based on the extent to which consumers perceive themselves to be consumers of store brands, three consumer segments have been identified: heavy buyers, sometimes buyers and seldom buyers. These segments were then described in terms of perceived quality and price of store brands as well as demographic characteristics of respondents. The findings allow drawing some useful reflection about who are the buyers of store brands in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and what drives their preferences towards store brands. Thus, this study provides valuable information for both retailers and manufacturers.

Authors: Jayathilake P.M. Bandula
Published: December 2015

China has achieved extraordinary economic growth and development in last three decades since launch of open economic policy in 1978. Sri Lanka restructured its economy in 1977 as well, with aspiration of achieving sustainable economic growth and development. However, the growth performance of Sri Lanka since the initiation of the reforms has been relatively low and falling behind on many of fronts relative to the Chinese performance indicators, whereas the initial characteristics of the two countries and reforms are mostly comparable. This paper basically aimed to investigate the factors influencing the creation of the gap in growth performance between China and Sri Lanka over the past three decades after their economic reforms. The findings show that attraction of foreign direct investment, governance related factors and approaches used in the post reforms period are more vital in driving divergence in growth performance between the two countries.

Authors: Shirley Melinda , Davies Iyla , Cockburn Tina , Carver Tracey
Published: December 2015

This paper explores the elements necessary for a university to create an academic model for a successful work-integrated learning experience in light of the current policy imperatives of the higher education sector in Australia. It identifies some of the practical issues encountered in attempting to implement those models and hypothesises on what an effective work-integrated learning experience for undergraduate law students should look like taking into account the available research on students’ perceptions of engaging learning experiences. It culminates in the proposal of a Virtual Work Integrated Learning Project which is currently under design in the Faculty of Law at the Queensland University of Technology.
Introducing Legal Clinics in Olomouc, Czech Republic
Authors: Bryxová Vendula , Tomoszek Maxim , Vlcková Veronika
Published: December 2015

In the Czech Republic, clinical legal education is not very developed. It does not fit into the traditional view of legal education, which itself is based mainly on an Austrian and German legal tradition which emphasizes legal positivism, legal history and a lecture style of lessons. The university environment in the Czech Republic is very conservative. Open minded teachers (mostly young assistants) have very little space for their own creativity during the lessons. Most of the Czech law teachers do not have any training in teaching methodology. Moreover the general attitude is that there is no special need for practical courses because “the students will receive their practical training once they are in practice after finishing the law school”. These attitudes result in very sceptical approach to the methodology of teaching, if we can speak about any methodology at all. To put it simply, the content of the lecture is seen as more important than the way the content is taught.
Constructing a Clinical Legal Education Approach for Large Multicultural Classes: Insights from the Nigerian Law School
Authors: Ordor Ada Okoye
Published: December 2015

This paper starts by discussing ways in which the current teaching system at the Nigerian Law School reflects a clinical approach. Issues examined include classroom participation, court and law office attachment, law dinners, moot court and other practice week activities. Certain issues are problematised and options for improving clinical teaching methods for large multicultural classes are proffered. Central to the options proffered is a project management approach where, for instance, students do not just participate in a moot court session, but the class executes a moot court project. This means that every stage of the project is constructed as a distinct, but integral exercise in which students need to develop competencies. This would create the opportunity for students to develop ‘extended’ lawyering skills of project management, reporting and evaluation in addition to the already established skills of research, interviewing, counselling, negotiation, advocacy and so on, much in the same way as medical doctors in training are involved in public health projects, within which they practice community medicine. Clinical projects would as much as possible, accommodate personal skills preferences, while methods of assessment suited to each area of competence would be developed and applied as part of the overall assessment of students’ performance.
“University Law Clinics and their value in undertaking client-centred law reform to provide a voice for clients’ experiences”
Authors: Curran Liz
Published: December 2015

This article examines how a clinical program can enlarge on the benefits of case work experience of enabling students by adding a course component which engages the students in identifying systemic issues in their case work which can be used to inform work on law reform issues as part of assessment in the clinical programs. The clinical program discussed in this article, demonstrates that assessment can be broadened to enable students to critique the contexts within which client issues emerge. The added component to student case work requires students to develop and use further skills in research, analysis and the evaluation of issues emerging from case work and suggest considered solutions to improve the operation of the legal system. My experience of such an approach is that it deepens students understanding not just of the law and how it is applied to their case work but also the mechanics of the law, how laws are made and how they are influenced. Student lawyers also see the important role of lawyers as members of a profession in ensuring the legal system retains public confidence. A side effect of this extension of the clinical work beyond only client work, is that students become motivated and are more employable (as they leave the course not only with skills in interviewing, communicating, letter writing, applying the law and preparing court cases) with skills in policy development and submission writing.
“On teaching students to ‘act like a lawyer’: What sort of lawyer?”
Authors: Hyams Ross
Published: December 2015

Teaching professionalism is a challenge for educators in any course of professional education. It is also often very confronting for students. In legal education, both students and teachers can find the concepts foreign because of the focus on analytical and logic skills and the lack of application to ‘real life’ requirements of legal practice. 

This paper investigates the intersection of clinical teaching and professional responsibility. It investigates the issue of teaching students to “act like a lawyer” and asks the fundamental question: “What sort of lawyer do we want students to act like?” In presenting this paper, it is accepted that, certainly in Australia, about 50% of law graduates end up in non-legal practicing, but related professions – and thus an approach to teaching needs to be developed which deals with this reality.
Legal Education and Clinical Legal Education in Poland
Authors: Krasnicka Izabela
Published: December 2015

The aim of this paper is to present the existing legal education system and development of clinical legal education in Poland. The first part briefly introduces the general Polish higher education system including the implications of the Bologna Process and other challenges for the law faculties as higher education institutions. It then focuses on the five different apprenticeships necessary to obtain license to practice law in Poland. The second part deals with the study program and teaching methods used at Polish law faculties. It argues that the present system does not meet the requirements of the contemporary legal job market as students are not, as a rule, exposed to practical aspects of legal problems and leave law school without training in the necessary skills. The third and most extensive part is dedicated to the legal clinics operating in Poland. Some statistical data is presented on legal clinics (i.e. numbers of students, teachers, cases etc.). This part also discusses basic clinical methodology instruments used in Polish clinics. Finally it describes the establishment of the Polish Legal Clinics Foundation (Foundation), its goals, tasks, challenges and
achievements.
