3. The Role of Arts in School Education
Authors: Aprotosoaie-Iftimi Ana-Maria
Published: May 2020

Contemporary psychologist Didier Anzieu220 speaks of five phases of the process of creation: creative emotion, gaining consciousness, transposition, elaboration, and exposure. Each of the five phases has a correspondent in the stages of development of visual-plastic educational activities, and the role of the teacher is essential in each of them. Starting from the five phases, we propose an approach pattern to the creative process, adapted and developed during the years of experience in pre-university educational environment, and refined throughout the research activity carried out in the university environment.
9. The Critical Role of Art Education in Community Building as Viewed by Art Teachers. A Qualitative Study
Authors: Assante Gabriela Monica , Enescu Florin
Published: May 2020

The present study aims to describe the ways in which art education impacts community life through art products. The sample consists of 32 teachers/creators in various fields of work such as fine arts, composition, literature, musical interpretation, choreography and acting. Categorical content analysis is used for data analysis. The highest-ranking emerging theme is related to the means of educational intervention in the community through art. Artistic education leads to empowerment and emancipation by provoking people to think differently while the exposure to artistic creations has a therapeutic effect and contributes to identifying new ways of action. Artists in the role of teachers feel a responsibility both for the educational process and also for the emotional message that their creative product transmits to the audience.

Authors: Wiest Nathaniel E. , Moktan Varun P. , Oman Sven P. , Chirilă Răzvan M.
Published: May 2020

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is an exceptionally lethal malignancy with increasing incidence and mortality worldwide. One of the principal challenges in the treatment of PC is that the diagnosis is usually made at a late stage when potentially curative surgical resection is no longer an option. General clinicians including internists and family physicians are well positioned to identify high-risk individuals and refer them to centers with expertise in PC screening and treatment where screening modalities can be employed. Here, we provide an up-to-date review of PC precursor lesions, epidemiology, and risk factors to empower the general clinician to recognize high-risk patients and employ risk reduction strategies. We also review current screening guidelines and modalities and preview progress that is being made to improve screening tests and biomarkers.

It is our hope that this review article will empower the general clinician to understand which patients need to be screened for PC, strategies that may be used to reduce PC risk, and which screening modalities are available in order to diminish the lethality of PC.

Authors: Akcay Omer Faruk , Yeter Haci Hasan , Buyukasik Yahya
Published: May 2020

Background. After the inclusion of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) into the treatment of Acute Promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a notable improvement concerning the survival rates of patients with APL has been observed. However, the population-based studies demonstrated that there was no marked improvement in the survival of patients after the 2000s. We aim to describe the clinical response and prognosis of adult patients diagnosed with APL and examine the change in these outcomes by the time period of diagnosis.

Methods. We retrospectively reviewed thirty-six unselected APL patients who were diagnosed between September 2003 and February 2016.

Results. The probability of survival at two years was 58%, while disease-free survival (DFS) was 87%. The overall early death (ED) rate was 33% and remain stable over time [42% in 2003–2009 vs. 24% in 2010–2016 (p=.20)]. In addition, the 2-year overall survival (OS) rates were 47% in 2003–2009 and 70% in 2010–2016 (p=.29), and no differences were noted. Univariate analyses showed possible predictors of poor OS were defined as leukocytosis (≥10x109/L), high Sanz score, hemorrhage, infection, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) at presentation and microgranular morphologic subtype.

Conclusions. This study shows that long-term survival remains low in APL patients, particularly related to a high ED rate. Initiatives to reduce ED are exceedingly substantial for improving the survival in APL.
Sepsis, a 2020 review for the internist
Authors: Purcarea Adrian , Sovaila Silvia
Published: May 2020

Sepsis is an overwhelming reaction to infection that comes with high morbidity and mortality, which requires urgent interventions in order to improve outcomes.

Surviving Sepsis is an international campaign that aims to improve sepsis outcomes. The 2016 guideline modifies the previous definition of sepsis and proposes some specific diagnostic and therapeutic measures, such as the protocolized use of fluid resuscitation and antibiotics.

We aim to summarize the main recommendations of the 2016 guideline that are relevant to the internist and evidence-base update them to the year 2020. In the current context, this review doesn’t address patients affected by SARS-COV2 induced disease.

Background. In December 2019, China has experienced an outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Coronavirus has now spread to all of the continents. We aimed to consider clinical characteristics, laboratory data of COVID-19 that provided more information for the research of this novel virus.

Methods. We performed a retrospective cohort study on the clinical symptoms and laboratory findings of a series of the 100 confirmed patients with COVID-19. These patients were admitted to the hospitals affiliated to Babol University of Medical Sciences (Ayatollah Rohani, Shahid Beheshti and Yahyanejad hospitals) form 25 February 2020 to 12 March 2020.

Results. Nineteen patients died during hospitalization and 81 were discharged. Non-survivor patients had a significantly higher C-reactive protein (CRP) (MD: 46.37, 95% CI: 20.84, 71.90; P = 0.001), white blood cells (WBCs) (MD: 3.10, 95% CI: 1.53, 4.67; P < 0.001) and lower lymphocyte (MD: –8.75, 95% CI: –12.62, –4.87; P < 0.001) compared to survivor patients Data analysis showed that comorbid conditions (aRR: 2.99, 95% CI: 1.09, 8.21, P = 0.034), higher CRP levels (aRR: 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.03, P = 0.044), and lower lymphocyte (aRR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.73, 0.93, P = 0.003) were associated with increased risk of death.

Conclusions. Based on our findings, most non-survivors are elderly with comorbidities. Lymphopenia and increased levels of WBCs along with elevated CRP were associated with increased risk of death. Therefore, it is best to be regularly assessed these markers during treatment of COVID-19 patients.

Introduction: Our study investigated the importance of inflammation markers – ratio of platelets and lymphocytes (PLR), ratio of neutrophils and lymphocytes (NLR) and ratio of lymphocytes and monocytes (LMR) – as predictive markers in the occurrence of fistula or stenosis in patients diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent gastric resections.

Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 178 patients diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma. The included patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1 (77 patients, who underwent lower gastrectomy), group 2 (27 patients, who had upper polar gastrectomy otherwise known as proximal gastrectomy), group 3 (74 patients, who underwent total gastrectomy). Ratios of PLR, NLR, respectively LMR were calculated for all patients.

Results: Out of 178 patients 52 (29.2%) developed postoperative stenosis and 16 patients (9.0%) had postoperative fistulae. The occurrence of anastomotic stenosis was associated with significantly higher preoperative platelet counts (p=0.043) and PLR values (p=0.023). ROC curve analysis indicated that the optimal PLR value for the prediction of gastric stenosis was 198.4 (AUC= 0.609, sensitivity: 59.6%, specificity: 61.9%). For the prediction of fistulization PRL also displayed the highest performance among the analyzed hematological parameters (AUC=0.561, sensitivity: 43.7%, specificity: 81.5%, cut-off value 116.6.

Conclusion: Our study indicates the importance of PLR as e predictive factor in the occurrence of anastomotic complications (fistulae or stenosis) immediately following surgery in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma that undergo gastric resections. Further prospective studies on larger groups of patients are required, considering that PLR, NLR and LMR will be key markers in the clinical management of patients with gastric cancer.

Authors: Hladíková L. , Jebavý M.
Published: May 2020

Although the issue of urban greenery is a frequently discussed topic and numerous case studies have already documented the beneficial functions of green spaces in the cities, studies on the balance of urban greenery during the past 20th century are few. This research follows up the issue of Prague urban green spaces during the years 1901–2010 and documents the changes in Prague public greenery in that period. The analysis specifies the development of public greenery and characterizes its categories in the individual decades of the 20th century. The percentage of public greenery and its area in hectares are given for each decade. Furthermore, the total green area is confronted with the number of inhabitants then living in Prague. The results have shown a continuous development and expansion of urban greenery. Their application will be beneficial to the city planning for sustainable development and further management of current and future public green areas as a part of the capital’s urban structure.

An Evaluation of the Mathematical Models of Energy Piles
Authors: Oravec Jakub , Šikula Ondřej , Nováková Iva
Published: May 2020

A current trend is to reduce the energy performance of buildings by using alternative sources for heating and cooling. One of the most promising, and so far unprecedented sources of heating and cooling, is the use of energy from the earth using the thermally-activated foundation piles of a building, the so-called energy piles. The paper deals with an overview and comparison of computer-aided analytical models of energy piles. The individual analytical models are compared (categorized) from the point of view of their physical complexity, computational costs, and thus their usability for the purpose of optimizing energy-pile equipment or assessing the long-term energy efficiency of an energy pile field. Selected mathematical models were algorithmized, and the results obtained were compared with a more robust numerical solution performed using CalA 4 software.
The Role of Telecardiology in Dealing with Patients with Cardiac Rhythm Disorders in Family Medicine – Systematic Review
Authors: Vodička Staša , Naji Husam Franjo , Zelko Erika
Published: May 2020

Purpose

Heart rhythm disorders (HRD) are often present in patients visiting their family physician (FP). Dealing with their problems is not always simple, efficient and cost effective. The aim of this paper is to review the existing literature about the use and experience of telecardiology in patients experiencing HRD.

Methods

We conducted a review of literature in PubMed biographical databases (MeSH thesaurus), Web of Science and Cochrane, between 1995 and 2019. We included original articles in English that describe the use of telecardiology at primary and secondary healthcare levels. Exclusion criteria are those publications that discuss heart failure or observation of the activity of pacemakers or defibrillators and the age of patients under 18 years. A total of 19 papers met the inclusion criteria, thirteen of them were original scientific articles and we included them in the analysis.

Results

Use of telemedicine can shorten the time from diagnosis to the necessary treatment (2/13), telemedicine can reduce mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (4/13), it can shorten the time to diagnose atrial fibrillations (4/13), it can help determine the diagnosis for patients complaining about heart rhythm disorders which were not detected on the standard ECG recording (2/13) and can also help identify cardiac causes for syncope or collapse (2/13). All studies have confirmed that the use of telecardiology significantly reduces the number of unnecessary referrals to a cardiologist or hospitalization, and shortens the time needed to treat patients with life-threatening conditions.

Conclusion

The use of telecardiological techniques increases the quality and safety of work in managing patients with cardiovascular disease in FP practice. Usage of telecardiologic devices can also save money and bridge the gap between the primary and secondary healthcare levels.
Scientific Events as Constitutive Characteristics of New Fields of Science and Research. The Example of the “Swiss NanoConvention”
Authors: Biniok Peter
Published: May 2020

Scientific events are rarely discussed in the formation and development of new fields of science. Using the example of the Swiss NanoConvention, it will be shown to what extent a long series of events shapes the Swiss nanosciences and is shaped by them. The convention offers the opportunity to both, present and legitimize new forms of science and research to heterogeneous publics, and to consolidate internal structures of the field. The analysis thus provides insight into the contours of nanoscience.
Reputation as a Mechanism for Coping with the Contingency of Social Addressing
Authors: Räwel Jörg
Published: May 2020

The transformation towards a functional differentiation of society and the current emergence of social media have increased the importance of reputation, because persons have become comparable and contingently addressable throughout society. We examine both social media and China’s emerging “social credit system” to determine whether and to what extent these developments point to the development of a symbolically generalized communication medium of reputation, respectively, to a social change from functional to individual differentiation.

Published: May 2020

Selecting online the most suitable product or service can be a draining process, and the broad diversity of products on retailers’ websites is overwhelming. Following this, there has been a high interest in examining buyers’ motivations and recognizing the determinant factors that affect the decision-making process in the case of online shopping. Hence, in this article, we carried out an empirical study and we analyzed to what extent certain factors such as product features, confidence in the online shop, product reviews, product price, consumer evaluations, the trust of the sources, usability of the online shop, convictions and commitment to the brand, product notoriety, consumer loyalty programs, WOM, and eWOM influence the purchasing decision. The findings reveal that the most significant variables determining the acquisition decision are product features, confidence in the online shop, reviews of the product, product price, and evaluations of customers from trusted sources. The most relevant information resources are trustworthy websites that offer specialized product reviews and reliable websites that offer customer product reviews.
The Impact of Operating Cash Flow and Current Ratio on the Profitability in Construction Industry
Authors: Pordea Daniela , David Delia , Mateș Dorel
Published: May 2020

The quality of works and a good reputation on the market are the main factors that lead to the success of a construction business. That is why most of the projects carried out in this sector involve the provision of performance guarantees which are mainly constituted by retaining the amounts from each payment. This impacts the cash, but also the liquidity ratios of the entities. The purpose of our research is to analyze the influence of the operating cash flow and the current liquidity ratio on the profitability in the case of construction companies. For this, we have developed a linear regression model on cross-section financial data related to a single reporting year and obtained from construction companies in western Romania. The results we have obtained did not reveal statistical significance for the exogenous variables used in the model. However, we consider it important to deepen the problem of cash flows and the ability of construction companies to meet their short-term obligations in the context of retaining performance guarantees. Further research in this regard based on panel data for several financial periods could provide relevant results
Fiscal Reforms and Deficits in Tanzania: An Exploratory Review
Authors: Mawejje Joseph , Odhiambo Nicholas M.
Published: May 2020

This study provides an exploratory review of the trends, policy reforms, and determinants of fiscal deficits in Tanzania during the period 1980-2017. During this period, the country undertook various fiscal policy reforms intended to improve revenue mobilization and expenditure efficiency. The most significant of these reforms included the introduction of the semi-autonomous revenue authority and an extensive public financial management reform program. While the post-independence period was characterized by large fiscal deficits, recent trends show that fiscal deficits in Tanzania have been contained, even as some public investment management challenges exist. The review of trends and literature suggests that fiscal deficits are linked to the structure of the economy, low levels of development, donor aid and grants, as well as the overall macroeconomic environment. In particular, fiscal deficits are associated with growth cycles, inflationary episodes, and external sector developments.

Sorana Ţopa – Journal Pages
Authors: Ciobotaru Anca Doina , Antochi Elena Carmen
Published: May 2020

Sorana Ţopa’s Journal, whose manuscript was donated by Mrs. Lucreţia Angheluţă to “George Enescu” National University of Arts, is not just an unsettling testimony of the qualms that marked the actress’ life, but also an essayistic guide, which can lead us to ourselves. The fragments we have chosen – dated October 31st 1971, November 5th 1971, November 9th 1971 and November 14th 1971 – help us understand that she lived under the sign of empathy; her angsts were generated by the worry for others and the deterioration of man’s relationship with nature. The events of the day go through the filter of reflection on human destiny, seen as a journey between self and ego. Her pages are a plea for a life lived in harmony with oneself and others, an invitation to abandon frivolity, egoism, and to re-establish non-negotiable value axes (“It means not allowing yourself to trade with them”); a return to the natural matrix. But how many of us are able or willing to do this?

I am reading and I am shaken by the actuality of her words, of her vision on (ir)responsibility, survival, humanity; and all these starting from our attitude when we suffer from... “a trivial flu”. I have the feeling that I’ve opened a window into time, to receive a deep warning signal about a trap swallowing us: “An almost bestial, animal-like attention – regarding physical survival, this we know, yes, and we fully feed it. But God forbid the winds of the unforeseeable blow and stir deeper than the surface the murky waters of our consciousness, as our attention doesn’t instantly grow in a significant way! Do not stir dead waters – is a book title that would have tempted me at some point.” Questions spring from between the lines, with the sound of shards.

Sorana Ţopa’s Journal shows us a broken mirror of our prejudices and nothingness, it urges us to feel the smell of “self-awareness”, to accept that life cannot be lived from the outside, or in pieces. Reading her testimonies and confessions must be done in the key of responsibility and accountability, of recovering spiritual dimension.

Sorana Ţopa remains a still insufficiently known actress; perhaps the road to understanding the thoughts she laid on paper is longer than it seems, the vibrations are on another frequency, and the meaning... different. Comments can only push us even further away; “the cinder of words can hurt”. Perhaps the silent, interiorized, multiplied reading will draw us closer, giving some meaning to the liquefied passage of time.
Slava’s SnowShowSearching For The Divine Child
Authors: Darie Andreea
Published: May 2020

The performanceSnowShow, created by Russian artist Slava Polunin, had its premiere in Moscow in October 1993. It won Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and was nominated at Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event. Currently, this performance-event has world tours periodically.

The contemporary art can be characterized by the hybridization of the expression forms, by the impressive blend of antagonistic signs and concepts.SnowShowconsists of at least two spectacular forms: theater and clownery. There can be observed many overall compositional elements specific to clownery (the characters’ costumes, the expression of the relationships, the artist / audience ratio, the construction of the sequences). Likewise, the dramatization of the theme, the philosophical conceptualization, and the characters’ existence, the presence of various emotions, the placement of laughter and other clown-related motifs in the background are among the aspects indicating the fundamentally dramatic structure of the performance. The initially perceived individual anxiety and the singular nature get general, multiplied proportions.SnowShowis, perhaps, a recontextualization of Vladimir and Estragon in Samuel Beckett’sWaiting for Godot.

Parameter Estimation for the Forest Fire Propagation Model
Authors: Ambroz Martin , Mikula Karol , Fraštia Marek , Marčiš Marián
Published: May 2020

This paper first gives a brief overview of the Lagrangian forest fire propagation model [Ambroz, M.—Balažovjech, M.—Medl’a, M.—Mikula, K.: Numerical modeling of wildland surface fire propagation by evolving surface curves, Adv. Comput. Math. 45 (2019), no. 2, 1067–1103], which we apply to grass-field areas. Then, we aim to estimate the optimal model parameters. To achieve this goal, we use data assimilation of the measured data. From the data, we are able to estimate the normal velocity of the fire front (rate of spread), dominant wind direction and selected model parameters. In the data assimilation process, we use the Hausdorff distance as well as the Mean Hausdorff distance as a criterion. Moreover, we predict the fire propagation in small time intervals.

Published: May 2020

La instrumentación de conductos curvos siempre ha sido un reto para el Odontólogo, aún para el más experimentado. Los cambios en la morfología interna son mucho más rápidos y peligrosos en los conductos curvos y pueden conducir al fracaso. El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar el grado de curvatura de la raíz mesio vestibular del primer molar inferior con el propósito de planificar el tratamiento endodóntico a fin de conservar dicha curvatura. Se utilizaron 50 imágenes obtenidas con radiovisiografía, elegidas al azar de primeros molares inferiores y de acuerdo al Método de Schneider se clasificaron con respecto a grado de curvatura radicular, en leve, moderado y severo. Este método de evaluación se puede utilizar para todas las piezas dentarias que presenten algún grado de curvatura radicular. El análisis estadístico descriptivo se realizó mediante la distribución de frecuencia utilizando el programa Excel 2016, el cual arrojó como resultado que el 53% de dichas raíces presentó curvatura severa, el 37% moderada y el 10% leve. La conservación de la curvatura en el sistema de conductos radiculares es fundamental en endodoncia. Si no se realizan los recaudos pertinentes a conservarla se pueden producir accidentes operatorios como el transporte apical, entre otros, que pueden llevar al fracaso del tratamiento endodóntico.

Published: May 2020

A saúde bucal está relacionada com a saúde geral da mãe e do bebê. Evidências científicas mostraram que existe associação entre patologias orais e complicações obstétricas que podem evoluir para o parto prematuro. No período gestacional há alterações hormonais e na imunidade adaptativa da gestante acarretando um impacto no curso clínico de várias doenças infecciosas. Sendo assim, a formação do bioﬁlme e a inflamação dos tecidos periodontais aumentam drasticamente em tamanho e severidade durante o curso de uma gravidez normal, por isso é importante o pré-natal odontológico como forma de prevenir, diagnosticar e tratar as doenças orais durante a gestação. O objetivo deste trabalho foi, através de uma revisão de literatura, ressaltar a importância do pré-natal odontológico com foco no parto prematuro. As estratégias de pesquisa foram aplicadas no LILACS, PubMed e Scielo, por meio das palavras chaves em português e inglês: odontologia, pré-natal, gestantes e parto prematuro, no período de 2015 a 2020. Foi observada a associação entre doença periodontal e parto prematuro, assim, se faz necessário reconhecer a importância do acompanhamento odontológico durante a gestação, a fim de possibilitar o diagnóstico e tratar precocemente as patologias orais que acometem a gestante nesse período, e que independentemente de outros fatores que possam acarretar o parto prematuro, essa futura mãe possa ter uma gestação saudável. Afinal quem melhor do que o cirurgião-dentista para cuidar do sistema estomatognático? O pré-natal odontológico veio a somar, significativamente, na vida da gestante, do recém-nascido e consequentemente no sistema de saúde brasileiro.

A 78-year-old retired civil servant being managed for hypertensive heart disease and combined mixed cardiac valvular diseases (aortic stenosis and incompetence, mitral stenosis and incompetence), who has been on routine medication, accidentally swallowed his upper denture during the process of his medication. He presented to the private ENT hospital about 2 h post-ingestion. His other complaints were throat pain, dysphagia, and odynophagia. Clinical examination revealed an elderly man in painful distress and anxious looking. The throat and neck examination revealed tenderness at the level of the 6th cervical vertebrae and on the right side with some pooling of saliva in the throat. The oral cavity also revealed missing upper incisor tooth. His cardiovascular system revealed his apex beat at the 7th left intercostal space, heaving with irregular heart sounds and mixed beats and pansystolic murmur. His pulse rate and blood pressure were 64 beats/min and 170/65 mmHg, respectively. The other systems were essentially normal. A review by an experienced anesthetist (ME) placed the patient in the Association of American Anesthesiologist IV (ASA IV). An assessment of emergency impacted upper denture in elderly patient with cardiac valvular lesion and ASA 1V category was made. Cervical X-ray could not be done because the X-ray machine was faulty. The patient had the denture extracted under local anesthetic agent (10% lignocaine spray) and was successfully escorted out of the theater very excited. He was sent home 2 h post-extraction.

A person who has reached certain heights in scientific and technical development has forgotten about his biological component, which in the future can cost him very dearly. We can’t help but worry about what the state of the environment will be in 200–300 years, if many environmental organizations are already loudly declaring an environmental disaster. Therefore, the solution of environmental problems is not the task of a single state, but of the entire world community. Environmental pollution in the 60s of the XX century became a global problem and the situation has not changed at all, but rather the opposite.

Comportamento do Consumidor de Produtos de Acabamentos
Authors: Carvalho Gabriele Back , Santos Mirela Jeffman dos
Published: May 2020

No cenário dinâmico e competitivo, no qual as empresas disputam a preferência do cliente, analisar o comportamento do consumidor e as dinâmicas do processo de decisão de compra tornou-se uma necessidade para sobrevivência dos negócios. O setor de construção civil, especialmente, tem sofrido os efeitos diretos da crise econômica do país nos últimos anos, o que impacta diretamente no mercado de produtos de reforma e acabamentos. Esse cenário torna ainda mais desafiador a compreensão do comportamento desse consumidor, que se apresenta mais exigente e cauteloso para tomar a sua decisão de compra. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o comportamento do consumidor de produtos de acabamentos. O aporte teórico do estudo englobou comportamento do consumidor, especificamente o processo de decisão de compra e a satisfação. A pesquisa de campo foi de natureza quantitativa e abrangeu uma amostra de 50 consumidores de produtos de acabamentos abordados no ato da compra diretamente no ambiente de loja. Os resultados indicaram que os consumidores costumam buscar informações no mercado antes de realizar a compra de acabamentos e avaliam de forma criteriosa as ofertas disponíveis. A decisão de compra é tomada, principalmente, com base nos atributos de qualidade, preço, variedade de marcas, condições de pagamentos e atendimento. De um modo geral, os consumidores se revelaram satisfeitos com as suas compras e com o fornecedor escolhido, especialmente no que se refere à estrutura física da loja, à variedade de produtos e marcas encontrados e ao atendimento recebido no ato da compra. Os itens que apresentaram índices mais baixos de satisfação foram relacionados à comunicação – como divulgação de produtos e ofertas – e à disponibilidade de produtos – como prazo de entrega e quantidade de itens para pronta entrega. Para esses atributos, foram oferecidas propostas de melhorias para as empresas do ramo, como a contratação de profissional especializado na área de marketing para proceder com a atividade de divulgação e a realização de um estudo na área de gestão de estoques, com ênfase na utilização da curva ABC. Essas sugestões têm por objetivo organizar os processos de logística das empresas, o que interfere diretamente no cumprimento de prazos junto aos clientes, bem como modernizar o processo de comunicação de marketing, apoiado em ferramentas digitais como as redes sociais para divulgar ofertas de produtos e informações sobre a empresa. Por fim, foram apresentadas limitações e sugestões para novos estudos na área.
Tecnologia digital, turismo e os hábitos de consumo dos viajantes contemporâneos
Authors: Barbosa Daniella Pereira , Medaglia Juliana
Published: May 2020

A popularização da Internet e o surgimento de inovações advindos das tecnologias da informação e comunicação (TIC), tais como as redes sociais, os dispositivos móveis, dispositivos de geolocalização, entre outros; têm alterado o mercado tradicional de viagens e por consequência os hábitos de consumo dos viajantes no século XXI. Esses viajantes são capazes de planejar suas viagens de forma independente, compartilham suas experiências nas redes sociais em tempo real, avaliam os serviços utilizados e têm a capacidade de influenciar outros viajantes, ao produzirem conteúdo relevante sobre os destinos visitados. Nesse contexto, esse artigo tem por objetivo discutir a relação entre a tecnologia digital e os hábitos de consumo dos viajantes contemporâneos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem exploratória e descritiva, com análise de fontes documentais, especialmente secundárias. Assim, além de pesquisa bibliográfica em livros, páginas de web sites e artigos sobre os temas abordados; fez-se uso de relatórios recentes de diferentes entidades de referência no mercado de viagens e, ao mesmo tempo na web. Esses documentos, que apresentam como característica em comum o fato de terem sido disponibilizados online, além de abordarem comportamento do consumidor em turismo, são: Digital Report We Are Social and Hootsuite (2018), New Platform Tourism Services - OMT (2017), Trip Barometer TripAdvisor (2016), Managed travel 3.0 - Amadeus (2015) e The 2014 Traveler’s Road to Decision - Google (2014). Ao fim da análise dos cinco relatórios detectou-se que os viajantes contemporâneos são mais exigentes, conectados, informados e colaboram intensamente entre si; de maneira que é possível indicar que as plataformas digitais têm oferecido autonomia aos viajantes e contribuído para a construção de uma cultura colaborativa que intensifica as relações sociais, que permite a troca de experiências e movimenta uma rede mundial de viajantes. Ao mesmo tempo, percebeu-se que a produção científica acerca do tema, principalmente em âmbito nacional, ainda é recente e escassa, portanto, configurando-se como um campo interessante para o desenvolvimento de futuras pesquisas científicas.
Mobile Libraries & Information Needs in Refugee Camps
Authors: Easton Allison , Wells Katherine
Published: May 2020

In this extended abstract, we use a postcolonial lens with a focus on global citizenship to outline some of the information needs experienced by refugees in refugee camps. A postcolonial approach, as it is defined by Vanessa Iwowo, allows us to challenge the ways in which Western ways of knowing advance a Western hegemonic worldview. We note how mobile libraries are used to address information needs, and posit them as a useful tool for future work in this area. We suggest that LIS professionals ought to be actively involved in responding to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by considering and working to improve information access in refugee camps.

Authors: Anakotta Marthsian Y
Published: May 2020

Penagakan hukum adalah sebuah upaya yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah dengan menggerakan sistem penegakan hukum. Terorisme sebagai kejahatan luar biasa ditanggulangi oleh Indonesia menggunakan berbagai pendekatan, baik soft approach maupun hard approach. Penggunaan pendekatan keras terlihat dalam upaya penegakan hukum yang dilakukan oleh Kepolisian Negara Republik Indonesia sebagai leading sector pemberantasan terorisme di Indonesia. Dalam sistem penegakan hukum sendiri terdapat sub-sistem yang terdiri dari struktur, substansi dan kultur. Tulisan ini ingin mellihat bagaimana kemudian kebijakan sistem penegakan hukum terhadap penaggulangan tindak pidana terorisme melalui pendekatan intergral, dimana dengan menggunakan pendekatan integral tersebut maka seluruh komponen sub-sistem harus mengambil perannya masing-masing. Salah satu yang menjadi perhatian adalah peran Fakultas Hukum sebagai lembaga pendidikan tinggi yang menjadi tempat membangun kultur hukum itu sendiri. Kultur hukum yang dimaksud yaitu melalui peneilitian-penelitian yang menghasilkan kajian-kajian hukum terbaru dalam rangka penanggulangan tindak pidana terorisme. Hasil penelitian itu kemudian dapat menjadi sumber atau bahan hukum yang dapat dipergunakan dalam proses penegakan hukum tindak pidana terorisme di Indonesia.
