Authors: Ilyinskikh Ekaterina Nikolaevna , Ilyinskikh Nicolai Nikolayevich , Zamyatina Evgeniya Vladimirovna
Published: August 2018

Цель. Выявить основные клинические прогностические критерии ранней диагностики очаговой формы (ОФ) клещевого энцефалита (КЭ), создать модели бинарной логистической регрессии и составить диагностические алгоритмы, позволяющие дифференцировать очаговую и менингеальную формы (МФ) заболевания.Материалы и методы. Проведено ретроспективное клиническое исследование типа «случай-контроль» с анализом рутинных данных историй болезней 138 пациентов с подтвержденным диагнозом МФ и 26 больных ОФ острого КЭ. Все полученные данные были занесены в компьютерную базу данных, которая была подвергнута статистическому анализу с применением программного обеспечения Epi Info, версия 3.3.2 (США) и приложения Scorecard STATISTICA 12.0 (StatSoft, США) для создания диагностических моделей. Оценка качества прогноза модели проведена с помощью ROC (receiver operating characteristic)-анализа.Результаты. Проведенное исследование позволило выделить наиболее прогностически значимые для ранней диагностики ОФ параметры объективного и неврологического статусов. К ним можно отнести: возраст больного более 41 года, частоту пульса более 80 в мин, показатели систолического давления более 130 мм рт. ст., нарушение речи и сознания, функции черепных нервов, координации движений и исчезновение брюшных рефлексов. Кроме того, к числу дополнительных факторов существенно повышающих риск летального исхода при ОФ КЭ можно отнести наличие у больного сахарного диабета, гипертонической болезни, ишемической болезни сердца и ожирение.Заключение. На основе полученных данных созданы три модели и составлены диагностические алгоритмы, позволяющие улучшить тактику ведения больных за счет раннего прогнозирования развития ОФ КЭ.

Does Institution Explain Natural Resource Curse?
Authors: Pelzman Joseph , Oskenbayev Yessengali , Issabayev Murat
Published: August 2018

In this paper we study the natural resource curse by analyzing the cross-regional sample from Kazakhstan. Our focus is to understand if the institutional quality within the country explains the resource curse. Using the data for 14 regions in Kazakhstan between 2000 and 2010 and employing various panel data approaches, we find that the institutional quality is not a determinant of the resource curse as institution changes very slowly within the country over time. This statement surely contradicts with previous resource curse literatures that utilized cross-country sample counting the fact that institutions vary across countries. Instead here, we argue that the resource curse within the country arises as a result of commodity price volatility.
The interdependence of frequency, predictability, and informativity in the segmental domain
Authors: Cohen Priva Uriel , Jaeger T. Florian
Published: August 2018

It has long been noted that language production seems to reflect a correlation between message redundancy and signal reduction. More frequent words and contextually predictable instances of words, for example, tend to be produced with shorter and less clear signals. The same tendency is observed in the language code (e.g. the phonological lexicon), where more frequent words and words that are typically contextually predictable tend to have fewer segments or syllables. Average predictability in context (informativity) also seems to be an important factor in understanding phonological alternations. What has received little attention so far is the relation between various information-theoretic indices – such as frequency, contextual predictability, and informativity. Although each of these indices has been associated with different theories about the source of the redundancy-reduction link, different indices tend to be highly correlated in natural language, making it difficult to tease apart their effects. We present a computational approach to this problem. We assess the correlations between frequency, predictability, and informativity, and assess when these correlations are likely to create spurious (null or non-null) effects depending on, for example, the amount of data available to the researcher.
Reconstruction attempt in the case of the hoard of the deniers dating back to the 10th century found near Ústí nad Labem (Based on hand-written notes by E. Fiala)
Authors: Lukas Jiří
Published: August 2018

The article offers a partial reconstruction attempt focused on the hoard of the Bohemian deniers struck under Boleslaus II (972–999) discovered in the surroundings of Ústí nad Labem sometimes before 1895. The reconstruction is based on analysis of older literature and the hand-written notes produced by the Czech numismatist Eduard Fiala.
Saints and sinners. Coins in medieval ritual context
Authors: Travaini Lucia
Published: August 2018

This article is a revised version of papers prepared for the conferences in Cambridge and Oslo. It is focused on the way how to interpret coins occurring in the medieval graves of saints as well as in the graves of ordinary people defined by L. Travaini as ‘sinners’. In the case of the term ‘ritual’, the author is interested in its general religious use, public and private, having in mind that medieval people had an uninterrupted relationship with the other world. Angels, saints and demons were integrated into any ritual, even in that which can appear as ‘civic’ today, including blessing and presence of clerics. In that way, any contexts – once seen as ‘ritual’ – must be seen as ‘economic’ in present numismatic research, and the author shows it on concrete examples from Italy and other European countries. Some finds, once seen as signs of economic activities, can be seen as rituals today.
What educational leaders should know about social media, collaboration and doctoral learning
Authors: Johnson Karen , Roberts J. Medgar , Stout Mary W. , Hill Michelle Susberry , Wells Lisa
Published: August 2018

In a global society where knowledge, degrees, and credentials cross international borders, understanding what and how doctoral students think and communicate about learning is relevant to educational leadership. An implication could be in creating new solutions to the age-old problem of students completing coursework but not a dissertation, and therefore, not graduating. United States doctoral students are taking advantage of social media platforms to create, develop, or enhance Personal Learning Networks (PLN). A team of researchers using a qualitative research methodology studied both the views and experiences of nine doctoral students, who were members of a closed Facebook group created specifically as a PLN. The results of the research study confirmed that the students use social media for academic and personal communication, emotional support, and direction through the dissertation stage of doctoral studies. Thematic results concluded that the participants sought help with questions and answers about research, guidance on the Institutional Review Board (IRB) process, and celebrating achievements. Trust was also a significant factor in ensuring the completion of dissertations. The results provide educational leaders useful information and insight into the impact of social media on teaching, research, culture, and learning environmental designs.
Commons and Cognition
Authors: Rose Carol M.
Published: August 2018

Garrett Hardin’s Tragedy of the Commons primarily concerns actions rather than thoughts. But he did famously describe the cognitive state of a hypothetical herder on a grassy field. With respect to the field and its other users, Hardin’s herder is both ignorant and indifferent; he coolly calculates that his best option is to take the full benefit of grazing his stock while suffering only a fraction of the cost — an action that contributes to the decimation of a common resource. While Hardin viewed the herder’s attitude as identical to that of actors in many other collective action situations, the work of other commons theorists suggests several different cognitive stances among such actors, largely depending on the scale of the commons issues they face. Thus participants in the Prisoner’s Dilemma (a very small commons) would appear to be dominated by distrust rather than the hypothetical herder’s ignorance or indifference. Participants in mid-sized commons — such as Hardin’s herders in real life — show some distrust, but also great knowledge and engagement in common pool management. Participants in the largest-scale commons issues are actually those most likely to exhibit the ignorance and indifference that Hardin attributed to the herder. This Article discusses the ways in which these different cognitive stances track the scale of collective action “tragedies” as described by major theorists and concludes with some observations about the cognitive aspects of climate change.
Give Us Back Our Tragedy: Nonrivalry in Intellectual Property Law and Policy
Authors: Bracha Oren
Published: August 2018

Information goods form the most distinct category of nonrival resources in regard to which one person’s ability to use the resource is not lessened by another person’s use. Nonrival goods are not subject to the tragedy of the commons and as a result the most common modern justification for property rights is absent in regard to them. Therefore intellectual property rights, unlike many other property rights, may perform a beneficial function only with respect to the dynamic incentive to produce information goods. With respect to static use of existing information, intellectual property rights serve no beneficial function and always have a negative effect. This fundamental and ostensibly well-understood element of intellectual property theory has important implications for the policy analysis of intellectual property rights compared to other institutional alternatives (including a commons) and for the design of such rights. Because it poses a fundamental challenge to the idea of a uniform theory of property, the assumption of nonrivalry of information has been subjected to attacks by scholars who sought to introduce the tragedy of the commons to this realm and reintegrate intellectual property rights into standard property analysis. Other scholarship rejects the attacks on nonrivalry but often obscures the full implications of this feature of information goods. This article explains the centrality of nonrivalry in the policy analysis of information goods and the challenge it poses to a unified theory built on the concept of the tragedy of the commons. It explains the unfortunate tendency to obscure the full implications of nonrivalry, explores the various attempts to restore a tragedy of the commons framework to the analysis of information goods, and exposes the flaws of these arguments. The article concludes by explaining the implications of the nonrivalry of information goods for a properly understood general theory of property built around the salient positive and normative features of resources.
Renalase, Catecholamine and Nitric Oxide Changes Before and After Sodium Nitroprusside Administration to Patients who Develop Post-Coronary Artery By-Pass (CABG) Hypertension
Authors: Aydin Suna
Published: August 2018

Background: Hypertension develops at a rate of 33 to 70% after Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations. One of the most commonly used drugs to control hypertension is sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Additionally, renalase enzyme destroys catecholamines and mediates the regulation (reduction) of blood pressure. Thus, this clinical study aims to reveal how renalase, catecholamines and nitric oxide (NO) change and how certain hemodynamic parameters are affected in randomly and prospectively selected cases who are administered SNP for the treatment of blood pressure elevation within 6 to 8 hours after CABG surgery.Methods: The study included 26 patients who developed hypertension after CABG, 12 patients who had normal blood pressure after CABG, and 22 healthy individuals. Renalase and catecholamine levels of the patients were measured using ELISA method and NO levels were determined by spectrophotometry.Results: Renalase and NO levels of the patients who developed hypertension after CABG were found statistically significantly lower than those of healthy controls and patients who did not develop hypertension after CABG, while catecholamine levels were significantly higher in the former. After SNP was started, renalase and NO levels increased, and a significant decrease was observed in the catecholamine levels. Additionally, administration of SNP produced a slight increase in the heart rate and a decrease in systolic arterial pressure (SAP), diastolic arterial pressure (DAP) and means arterial pressure (MAP).Conclusion: SNP elevates NO and renalase levels; thus, administration of renalase preparations, which act in the destruction of catecholamines to contain persistent hypertension that develops in association with catecholamine elevation after CABG surgery, along with SNP and other medications used to lower blood pressure can be an effective therapeutic method to control hypertension.

Published: August 2018

Resumo Foi realizado estudo transversal com objetivo de avaliar e comparar o consumo alimentar de usuários do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), segundo tipo de assistência (Unidades Básicas de Saúde-UBS e Estratégias de Saúde da Família-ESF) e participação no Programa Bolsa Família (PBF). A amostra foi composta por indivíduos de 18 a 78 anos, de ambos sexos, de Porto Alegre-RS. Foram coletados dados socioeconômicos, clínicos e de consumo alimentar através de questionário adaptado dos inquéritos nacionais SISVAN e VIGITEL. As análises foram realizadas no software R3.1. Dos 187 entrevistados, 91 pertenciam à ESF, 96 à UBS e 40 eram beneficiários do PBF. O padrão alimentar saudável foi identificado em apenas 41% dos usuários do SUS. Entre os beneficiários do PBF, consumo de hortaliças foi menor (67,5% vs 75,9;p = 0,02) e 55% não consumiam salada crua (37%;p = 0,04). Não houve diferença significativa no consumo considerando o tipo de assistência recebida (ESF ou UBS). O padrão de consumo saudável não foi associado às variáveis demográficas e socioeconômicas. A maioria dos beneficiados pelo PBF também não demonstrou padrão alimentar saudável. Portanto, maiores esforços para efetiva promoção e prevenção da saúde são necessários para essa população, principalmente entre os beneficiados pelo PBF.
Maternidade e amamentação: identidade, corpo e gênero
Authors: Giordani Rubia Carla Formighieri , Piccoli Daniele , Bezerra Islândia , Almeida Claudia Choma Bettega
Published: August 2018

Resumo A amamentação é um fenômeno multifacetado que envolve a complexidade do mundo social, os papéis assumidos pela mulher, seus atributos e expectativas sociais. Este ensaio teórico propõe uma reflexão em torno da maternidade, problematizando a experiência da amamentação e a construção de identidade se aproximando de conceitos sociológicos do interacionismo de Anselm Levi Strauss. Procurou-se fazer associações entre o corpo, a identidade e os processos de socialização na vida adulta gerados pelas novas demandas sociais na realização de papéis de mulher e mãe, concentrando-se na experiência da amamentação. Problematiza-se a forma como a maternidade é concebida na sociedade contemporânea e a inscrição da amamentação como fenômeno da natureza, de tal forma que se confere à mulher uma vocação à maternidade e ao aleitamento, produzindo-se uma expectativa social de habilidade nata para o desempenho dos mesmos.

Published: August 2018

Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar o consumo alimentar de escolares conforme o tipo de alimentação consumida em escolas de zona rural. Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado com adolescentes de 12 escolas públicas rurais de Canguçu/RS. A investigação está vinculada à intervenção “Educação Física +: Praticando Saúde na Escola”. O consumo alimentar foi avaliado pelos marcadores do Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional. A variável independente principal foi o tipo de alimentação consumida (trazida de casa, fornecida gratuitamente e/ou comprada na escola). Foi utilizada a estatística descritiva e o teste de Qui-quadrado com nível de significância de p < 0,05. Participaram do estudo 526 escolares, 51,3% do sexo feminino e 88,0% que consumiram a alimentação gratuita. Entre 15-31% dos adolescentes consumiram mais de três dias na semana anterior alimentos considerados não saudáveis. Os escolares que relataram levar lanche de casa para a escola consumiram com maior frequência salada crua, frutas frescas ou salada de frutas, bolachas/biscoitos salgados e salgadinhos de pacote e refrigerante. Concluiu-se que o consumo de alimentos saudáveis entre os escolares da zona rural foi baixo e intervenções são necessárias a fim de melhorar o quadro atual de práticas inadequadas de alimentação.

Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar a tendência temporal e a distribuição espacial da Sífilis Congênita (SC) no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Todos os casos notificados pelo Sistema Nacional de Agravos de Notificação entre 2001 e 2012 foram incluídos. Os números de nascidos vivos foram obtidos do SINASC/DATASUS. As taxas de incidência de SC foram agrupados conforme as microrregiões do IBGE e analisados para todo o período e em triênios. A correlação espacial foi analisada pelo índice de Moran global (I) e local. Foram notificados 3.613 casos. Entre 2007 e 2012 morreram 89 neonatos (3,6%). As taxas de SC variaram de 1,03 em 2001 a 5,1 casos por 1.000 nascidos vivos em 2012, com um incremento anual de 0,84 casos por 1.000 nascidos vivos (p < 0,01) e 93,88% da variação explicada. As microrregiões foram espacialmente independentes (I = 0,06; p = 0,25), tendo Porto Alegre a maior incidência (4,19 casos/1.000 nascidos vivos) e Jaguarão a menor (0,23 casos/1.000 nascidos vivos). Observaram-se microrregiões com dependência espacial local significativa. O aumento dos casos de SC salienta um déficit na qualidade do pré-natal. A identificação das microrregiões com maior incidência é essencial para focalizar as políticas públicas sobre esse tema.

Resumo Introdução O sono é um processo fisiológico cuja expressão nos seres humanos é influenciada por fatores sociais e ambientais. Objetivo Comparar as variáveis de sono e sonolência diurna de adolescentes de uma cidade do interior e de uma cidade metropolitana. Método Participaram do estudo 1.645 adolescentes provenientes de amostras representativas de duas cidades do Estado de Santa Catarina, uma do interior e outra metropolitana. Os adolescentes responderam a um questionário autoaplicável sobre questões sociodemográficas, horários de dormir e de acordar durante a semana e no final de semana, sonolência diurna e percepção de saúde. Resultados Observou-se que os adolescentes residentes na região metropolitana apresentaram horários de dormir (p < 0,001), horários de acordar (p < 0,001) e ponto médio de sono (p < 0,001) mais atrasados quando comparados aos adolescentes da cidade do interior. Já as médias de duração do sono identificadas não apresentaram diferenças (p = 0,645). Os adolescentes também tiveram índices de sonolência semelhantes (p = 0,082). Ainda, verificou-se associação da percepção de saúde negativa com altas pontuações da Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS), independentemente da cidade dos adolescentes. Conclusões O estudo fornece indícios de que variáveis contextuais e geográficas possuem alguma influência na fase de sono dos adolescentes. Assim, torna-se fundamental o melhor entendimento a respeito das medidas compensatórias realizadas pelos adolescentes.

ENHANCEMENT OF THE REINFORCED CONCRETE PLAIN STRUCTURES DESIGN METHODS WITH THE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE TRUE PROPERTIES OF HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETES
Authors: Karpenko Nikolay I. , Karpenko Sergey N. , Petrov Alexey N.
Published: August 2018

The enhancement of the reinforced concrete plain structures design methods on the basis of the deformation theory of the plasticity of reinforced concrete with cracks by N.I. Karpenko is considered. The deformation model of reinforced concrete with cracks taking into account the deformation diagrams of concrete and reinforcement is used for numerical analysis of a deep beam made of high-strength concrete of class B100. The analysis makes it possible to con­clude that taking into account the actual properties of materials significantly improves the accuracy of computer model­ing. The strength of concrete is the decisive factor determining the mechanism of structural failure and the efficiency of using reinforcement. At the design stage, the most reliable and accurate tool for assessing the operational fitness of pla­nar reinforced concrete structures is computer modeling based on a nonlinear deformation model, taking into account the actual strength and deformation properties of concrete and reinforcement

Published: August 2018

O presente trabalho apresenta os resultados de um estudo realizado com a utilização de reportagens sobre um tema do contexto social dos estudantes, com o intuito de desenvolver conhecimentos de química com enfoque CTS. O estudo foi desenvolvido com dez alunos da modalidade EJA, nível médio, de um colégio da rede estadual de ensino na região norte do Paraná. Inicialmente, os estudantes foram questionados se os aditivos alimentares são usados para o bem ou para o mal. Em seguida, foi proposta a leitura de dez reportagens selecionadas, as quais tratavam do uso de aditivos químicos alimentares, mais especificamente, sobre a polêmica gerada, em março de 2017, em torno da adulteração de carnes por frigoríficos, por meio do uso de ácido ascórbico. Para incentivar a participação dos alunos, as reportagens foram enumeradas e cada um deles sorteou um número. Os estudantes receberam por escrito algumas questões, que os nortearam no desenvolvimento da leitura e interpretação das referidas reportagens. Na sequência, apresentaram para o grupo a interpretação e reflexão que fizeram sobre o conteúdo das mesmas. Os dados, coletados por meio de um gravador de voz, foram analisados com base nos pressupostos da análise de conteúdo. Como resultados, destacamos o envolvimento dos estudantes com a atividade proposta e os argumentos apresentados em relação ao uso dos produtos químicos adicionados aos alimentos, bem como questionamentos a respeito do discurso da mídia. Podemos inferir que a atividade com as reportagens propiciou a reflexão dos estudantes sobre pontos importantes do contexto social deles relacionados à informação química.

Authors: Salambieva Aminat Vakhaevna ,   Chechen State University
Published: August 2018

Based on regional press materials, the author describes the new forms of citizens’ charitable assistance to tuberculosis patients in the 20th century for the first time. Public health protection in Grozny is insufficiently studied by Russian historians. There are no works on providing charitable assistance to the population of the city. The research summarizes the archival and newspaper materials related to civil initiatives of citizens involved in fundraising for TB patients. An attempt is made to reconstruct the initiatives of voluntary public medical organizations. The activities of the local Anti-Tuberculosis League are analyzed. The research demonstrates the relationships between medical community, government and city society concerning the prevention of lung diseases and medical treatment of patients. The author noted that charitable assistance was provided to all those in need without regard to religion and nationality.

Published: August 2018

The study describes the backgrounds to the first institute of education in the Russian Far East established in Vladivostok in 1921 at the discretion of the local community. The historical environment and prerequisites for its creation are analyzed, the information on preceding Vladivostok Teachers’ Training Institute (1917–1920) is provided. Based on the archives, the author discusses the transformation of teachers’ training institute into institute of education, i.e. a new-type educational institution. The research identifies the challenges met by the Institute during its establishment, examines its structure, the number of students, the faculty. The Institute was restructured into Education Department of State Far Eastern University (in January 1923) as a part of the reform implemented in relation to the regional higher education system in the aftermath of the Civil War followed by the Sovietization of the Far East.
Monumental sculpture in Leningrad during the Thaw era
Authors: Kotova Ekaterina Sergeevna ,   Saint Petersburg State University of Economics
Published: August 2018

The research subject is the approval and erection system in relation to Leningrad monuments in 1953–1964. Based on the archive funds of the Culture Department of Leningrad City Executive Committee, the author identifies and describes connotations between the monument art control and the replication of monuments to party leaders. The research confirmed the assumption that the similar Soviet monuments were not the element of the planned ideologization of the public space aimed at providing the conceptual unity of Soviet society, and, on the contrary, were the result of the imperfect mechanism of central government. The bureaucratic erection of official monuments and first spontaneous monuments (park sculpture) in contemporary St. Petersburg often lead to contradictions between the authorities and society (for instance, the unnamed monument to Brodsky has been built in May 2018) that update the problematic coexistence of the official and unofficial strategy for building new monuments in the historical perspective.

Delayed recognition: recent developments and a proposal to study this phenomenon as a fuzzy concept
Authors: Rousseau Ronald
Published: August 2018

Purpose

New developments in the study of delayed recognition are discussed.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on these new developments a method is proposed to characterize delayed recognition as a fuzzy concept.

Findings

A benchmark value of 0.333 corresponding with linear growth is obtained. Moreover, a case is discovered in which an expert found delayed recognition several years before citation analysis could discover this phenomenon.

Research limitations

As all citation studies also this one is database dependent.

Practical implications

Delayed recognition is turned into a fuzzy concept.

Originality/value

The article presents a new way of studying delayed recognition.
Changes in the Level of Motor Preparation of Professional Soccer Players in Training
Authors: Kozieł Mateusz , Adamczyk Jakub Grzegorz
Published: August 2018

Introduction
. Since the competition period has been prolonged in modern football, it is important to know if a shortened preparatory phase is enough to improve motor fitness preparation. This study analysed the changes in the level of physical fitness in second-league soccer players with respect to training conducted during the preparatory period.

Material and methods
. Speed (5-m and 30-m sprint), endurance (progressive test), and power (Counter Movement Jump) were tested in 21 players at the beginning and at the end of the preparatory phase.

Results
. The results obtained indicate a significant improvement in physical capacity parameters as well as speed and strength abilities measured using 5-m and 30-m running speed tests and the CMJ test for muscle power. In the progressive test measuring anaerobic threshold speed, the players active in the central section of the pitch (centre-backs and central midfielders) achieved the best results, while in the speed trials and explosive strength trials, side-backs and side midfielders achieved the best results.

Conclusions
. During the winter preparatory season, the most significant changes in the physical fitness of soccer players were observed in aerobic endurance expressed as threshold speed (an increase of 1.2 km/h) and running speed measured as the time needed to cover a distance of 5 m (time reduced by 0.04 s) and 30 m (time reduced by 0.07 s). These traits are crucial in the preparation of soccer players for league matches and have the greatest impact on their performance in sports competitions.
A blended quantitative-ethnographic method for describing vocal sonification in dance coaching
Authors: Trasmundi Sarah Bro , Harvey Matthew Isaac
Published: August 2018

In this paper we present a micro-analytic description of the role vocalizing plays in a single case of professional dance instruction. We use a novel mix of qualitative and quantitative tools in order to investigate, and more thoroughly characterize, various forms of vocal co-organization. These forms involve a choreographer using vocalization to couple acoustic dynamics to the dynamics of their bodily movements, while demonstrating a dance routine, in order to enable watching dancers to coordinate the intrabodily dynamics of their own simultaneous performances. In addition to this descriptive project, the paper also suggests how such forms of coordination might emerge, by identifying those forms of voice-body coupling as potential instances of “instructional vocal sonification”. We offer a tentative theoretical model of how vocal sonification might operate when it is used in the teaching of movement skills, and in the choreographic teaching of dance in particular. While non-vocal sonification (both physical and computer-generated) is increasingly well-studied as a means of regulating coordinated inter-bodily movement, we know of no previous work that has systematically approached vocal sonification. We attempt to lay groundwork for future research by showing how our model of instructional vocal sonification might plausibly account for some of the effects of vocalization that we observe here. By doing so, the paper both provides a solid basis for hypothesis generation about a novel class of phenomena (i.e., vocal sonification), and contributes to bridging the methodological gap between isolated descriptions and statistical occurrences of a given type of event.
The Lesson from the Modern American Federalism: A Challenge to Effective Public Policy Performance
Authors: Shin Geiguen
Published: August 2018

Contemporary U.S. federalism particularly since the late1960s has evolved over the course of pluralism alternating exercisable governmental powers between the federal and state governments. The complexity of the power relationship has been observed in a variety of policies during the past quarter-century as has the discussion of whether or not contemporary U.S. federalism has developed in a way that increase effective public policy performance. Focusing mainly on the period of the past 50 years of U.S. federalism history, this article suggests that federalism dynamics have not exercised either constant liberal or conservative influence on public policy performance. Instead, this article suggests that the clear functional responsibility between the federal government and state and local governments have characterized contemporary U.S. federalism-more federal responsibility for redistribution and more state and local responsibility for development, which in turn increased public policy performance. This feature has been quite substantial since 1970s. As a result, this article suggests that despite the increased complexity of the U.S. federal system, it has evolved in such an appropriate way that would increase the efficiency of federal system by dividing a clear intergovernmental responsibility on major policy platforms.
Avaliação do tempo de conclusão de processos acadêmicos dos cursos de graduação da Unifal-MG no campus Poços de Caldas

O Regulamento Geral dos Cursos de Graduação da Universidade Federal de Alfenas e o Calendário Acadêmico estabelecem regras e prazos para a execução de diversos procedimentos acadêmicos. Contudo, como esses prazos são fixados de maneira arbitrária, nota-se que normalmente o tempo real de trâmite excede os prazos estipulados. Neste trabalho, analisou-se se um levantamento dos dados nos arquivos acadêmicos identificando, para cada processo protocolado nos anos de 2012 a 2014, seu tipo e tempo de trâmite. Foram feitas análises estatísticas para cada tipo de processo, que também foram agrupados em processos de início e final do semestre letivo. O método que se empregou para análise estatística foi o teste de análise de variância. Foram feitas seis análises de variância, acompanhadas das análises de resíduo e análises não paramétricas quando necessário. Concluiu-se, como se acreditava, que segundo as análises os prazos estipulados no Regulamente de Cursos de Graduação e Calendário Acadêmico não estão condizentes com a prática.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar o processo de trabalho do sistema de referência e contrareferência da área da Odontologia. Para subsidiar a análise normativa e comparativa foram realizadas entrevistas compostas de oito perguntas fechadas dirigidas aos Secretários Municipais de Saúde (SMS) e Coordenadores das Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) de uma Coordenadoria Regional da Saúde (CRS) do RS composta por doze municípios. Após a realização das entrevistas os dados foram tabulados em frequências simples. Para análise comparativa as respostas obtidas nas SMS(s) foram consideradas como padrão ouro para emitir juízo de valor. No final da análise foram identificadas potencialidades e limitações do processo de trabalho da interface de governabilidade municipal. Conclui-se que o processo de trabalho do sistema de referência e contra-referência da área da odontologia deve ser planejado pelos gestores das SMS(s) e UBS(s) com a coordenação da CRS para adequar as necessidades de cada município.

Este trabalho objetivou relatar a implementação do Pró-saúde no curso de Odontologia da Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM) e as atividades realizadas até o ano 2010. Trata-se de um estudo documental retrospectivo de consulta a relatórios técnicos e financeiros das duas cartas acordos do projeto. Uma equipe de seis docentes do Departamento de Odontologia daUEM se encarregou de avaliar todo o material e relacionar as principais ações desenvolvidas. Neste processo, foram fundamentais as constituições de comitês gestor e de acompanhamento e a contratação de assessorias administrativa e pedagógica de recursos humanos.Dentre as ações, destacam-se a atuação nas atividades extramurais, a re-inserção de acadêmicos nos serviços municipais de saúde de Maringá, o estabelecimento de parceria com a Secretaria de Saúde de Marialva, a criação da Clínica Ampliada em Odontologia, os fóruns para relato de experiência e avaliação,os levantamentos epidemiológicos e o projeto de heterocontrole das águas de abastecimento público deMaringá. Conclui-se que a implantação do Pró-Saúde serviu como marco inicial do processo de mudança com a constituição de uma massa crítica de docentes engajados na formação dos profissionais de saúde e trabalhando de forma colegiada. Persistem como desafios a integração multiprofissional e a mudança do paradigma curativista para o de promoção de saúde.

Published: August 2018

A Disciplina de Endodontia I da Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB) implantou a partir da turma 2008.1, o sistema de gerenciamento de cursos, mediante Plataforma Moodle. Ao final do período é empregado um questionário de avaliação disponível no ambiente Moodle. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar os resultados do questionário COLLES do tipo “experiência efetiva”, aplicados aos 57 alunos das turmas 2008.2 e 2009.1 da disciplina de Endodontia I. Oquestionário COLLES permite avaliar os quesitos: Relevância, Reflexão Crítica, Interação, Apoio dos Tutores, Apoio dos Colegas e Compreensão. A partir das respostas obtidas foram gerados gráficos com resultados numéricos que posteriormente foram analisados quantitativamente. Os resultados revelaram excelente relevância em que 73,6% dos alunos relatam a importância do aprendizado para prática daprofissão e 68,4% demonstraram a melhora no seu desempenho. Já em relação à reflexão crítica, 41%refletem criticamente com frequência sobre os conteúdos do curso e 43,8% refletem sobre como está sendo o seu aprendizado. A interatividade entre os alunos apresenta-se deficiente, pois uma pequena parcela (21%) se dispõe a explicar suas ideias aos outros participantes. No apoio dos tutores, apresentou frequente estímulo a reflexão e encorajamento à participação; já no apoio entre os colegas, houve baixa frequência de elogio e estima as contribuições. Os alunos também apresentaram frequente compreensãodas mensagens dos participantes (50,8%) e dos tutores (57,8%). Conclui-se que existe necessidade de estimular o apoio entre os alunos e interação de suas ideias para que haja um melhor aproveitamento dentro do meio de ensino à distância.
