A Latent Class Analysis of Personal Values in Young Adults
Authors: Smack Avanté J. , Herzhoff Kathrin , Tang Rui , Walker Rheeda L. , Tackett Jennifer L.
Published: December 2017

Human values and motivations are a powerful predictor of behavior, and Schwartz’s taxonomy offers a meaningful organizational system for robust value dimensions (Schwartz, 1992). Although values clearly represent a meaningful and culturally relevant dimension of individual differences, they remain poorly understood particularly in regards to how values co-occur and manifest within individuals. The purpose of the present study was to examine how values co-occur and manifest within individuals. A racially/ethnically diverse sample of 1, 308 undergraduate students (351 males, Mage = 21.70, SD = 5.22) reported on their personal values and personality traits. Latent class analyses revealed support for two value classes: personal-focused (N = 210) and social-focused (N = 1098), which map onto hypotheses of value configurations based on Schwartz’s taxonomy (Schwartz, 1992). The value classes also exhibited differences based on racial/ethnic composition, gender composition, and personality trait association, also consistent with previous research. The current study provides evidence for two value types that manifest across two countries in North America.
Loss of Drosophila Mei-41/ATR Alters Meiotic Crossover Patterning
Authors: Brady Morgan M , McMahan Susan , Sekelsky Jeff
Published: December 2017

Meiotic crossovers must be properly patterned to ensure accurate disjunction of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I. Disruption of the spatial distribution of crossovers can lead to nondisjunction, aneuploidy, gamete dysfunction, miscarriage, or birth defects. One of the earliest identified genes involved in proper crossover patterning is Drosophila mei-41, which encodes the ortholog of the checkpoint kinase ATR. Analysis of hypomorphic mutants suggested the existence of crossover patterning defects, but it was not possible to assess this in null mutants because of maternal-effect embryonic lethality. To overcome this lethality, we constructed mei-41 null mutants in which we expressed wild-type Mei-41 in the germline after completion of meiotic recombination, allowing progeny to survive. We find that crossovers are decreased to about one-third of wild-type levels, but the reduction is not uniform, being less severe in the proximal regions of chromosome 2L than in medial or distal 2L or on the X chromosome. None of the crossovers formed in the absence of Mei-41 require Mei-9, the presumptive meiotic resolvase, suggesting that Mei-41 functions everywhere, despite the differential effects on crossover frequency. Interference appears to be significantly reduced or absent in mei-41 mutants, but the reduction in crossover density in centromere-proximal regions is largely intact. We propose that crossover patterning is achieved in a stepwise manner, with the crossover suppression related to proximity to the centromere occurring prior to and independently of crossover designation and enforcement of interference. In this model, Mei-41 has an essential function in meiotic recombination after the centromere effect is established but before crossover designation and interference occur.

Published: December 2017

To improve the single-procedural success and long-term outcomes of catheter ablation techniques for AF, there is a need for durable, contiguous and transmural lesions encircling the pulmonary veins (PV). Measurement of contact force (CF) between the catheter tip and the target tissue can optimise ablation procedures. A new approach to obtain single-procedure durable PV isolation (PVI) using the latest CF technology combined with the CARTO VISITAG™ Module with Ablation Index (Biosense Webster) has been shown in small studies to almost eliminate recurrence of paroxysmal AF at 1-year follow up and to make PVI procedures more reproducible. The use of a standardised workflow is expected to increase the reproducibility of results and to increase the efficiency of PVI procedures.

Authors: Stavrakis Stavros ,   University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA, Po Sunny ,   University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA
Published: December 2017

Ganglionated plexi (GP), consisting of conglomerations of autonomic ganglia on the epicardial surface of the heart, have been shown to play a significant role in different arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation. GP ablation has become an adjunctive procedure in the treatment of atrial fibrillation, while it has been used successfully in preliminary studies in vasovagal syncope. This review will present the current data on the physiology and clinical applications of GP ablation in the treatment of atrial fibrillation and other diseases.

Selected methods for improving photointerpretation features of ultrasonographic images with the practical application of wavelet transformation
Authors: Jankowicz Bogdan , Piotrowski Piotr
Published: December 2017

Images of different sections of the examined tissue, and in the result, the spatial image of the
examined organ on the flat screen of the monitor, are obtained using the mobile apparatus head,
which is moved by the physician over the patient’s body surface. The obtained image exactly
reproduces the reality, but its interpretation always depends on the physician.
Only the proficient knowledge of anatomy enables the correct interpretation of the image. For
example, a cyst looks like a homogeneous dark spot with regular shape and smooth edges, while
the tumour has a heterogeneous structure, visible as different shades of grey and ragged edges.
Of course, the interpretation of the image is not always as simple as that, and therefore, among
the professionals it is considered, that good diagnostics is more important than even the most
modern equipment. However, the technology and methodology of processing and visualization
of images is not without significance. By using the wavelet filtration to transform original images
– their photointerpretation becomes easier, and more accurate.
Synthesizing the Practice of SCMC-based Telecollaboration: A Scoping Review
Authors: Akiyama Yuka , Cunningham D. Joseph
Published: December 2017

Telecollaboration is a type of online learning arrangement between geographically distant participants for the development of language and intercultural competence. After two decades of research, it is an apt time to engage in a systematic review of previous studies in the form of a scoping review in order to illuminate the pedagogical practices commonly used in telecollaboration. The study synthesized 55 distinct telecollaboration projects that took place in university foreign-language classes and utilized synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) tools to answer (1) What are the typical arrangements of SCMC-based telecollaboration (e.g., participants, project set-ups, and interaction set-ups)? and (2) How have SCMC-based telecollaboration projects changed over the last two decades? We identified six commonly adopted arrangements of SCMC-based telecollaboration. We also found that, while certain pedagogical practices in telecollaboration have matured, the field is undergoing reconceptualization and expansion with the advancement of technology and diversification of participants. We conclude the article with suggestions regarding reporting practices in telecollaboration research, thereby enabling more rigorous synthesis in the future.
APRENDIZAGEM, MENTORIA E CULTURA ORGANIZACIONAL DE APRENDIZAGEM: O ESTUDO DO CASO DA PERFORMANCE CONSULTORIA E AUDITORIA
Authors: Oliveira Neto Constantino de Carvalho , Souza-Silva Jader Cristino de
Published: December 2017

RESUMO Na literatura sobre aprendizagem organizacional, alguns autores (DONALDSON; ENSHER; GRANT-VALLONE, 2000; BOZEMAN; FEENEY, 2007) sinalizam para o fato de que existem ambientes que são mais propícios que outros em relação ao desenvolvimento de processos de aprendizagem. Outros pesquisadores (JOO; LIM, 2009) afirmam que os valores e crenças presentes em uma cultura organizacional afetam como as pessoas reagem e se comportam em relação ao processo de aprendizagem. Ora, sendo a mentoria marcadamente uma modalidade de aprendizagem organizacional, pode-se presumir que a cultura é um forte elemento influenciador para que um contexto organizacional seja mais ou menos propício ao desenvolvimento da mentoria. Assim, o artigo tem como propósito investigar como a cultura organizacional influencia o processo de mentoria em uma empresa de consultoria e auditoria. A abordagem da pesquisa empírica foi fundamentalmente qualitativa, tendo sido adotado o estudo de caso simples e a análise do discurso do sujeito coletivo (DSC), visando à interpretação dos achados empíricos. Como resultado e resposta ao problema dessa investigação constataram-se, na organização estudada, três categorias de valores que exercem forte influência no surgimento e desenvolvimento de mentorias, a saber, valores ligados à valorização do desenvolvimento técnico-profissional, da interação social e do ser humano.

ABSTRACT Objective: Despite advances in medical care, patients who are hospitalized or have spinal cord injuries often develop pressure sores. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiological characteristics of pressure sores and evaluate factors associated with recurrence and cure. Methods: In this historical cohort study, clinical and laboratory data were collected from medical records between 1997 and 2016. Results: Sixty individuals with pressure ulcers were included; mean patient age was 38.1±16.5 (37.0) years, 83.3% were men, and 86.8% identified as white. Most patients (85.1%) had paraplegia, amputation, or trauma of the lower limbs with motor sequelae; the remainder (14.9%) were quadriplegic. Most (78.3%) underwent surgery, and the mean follow-up time was 1.8±2.5 years. The lesions were cured in 25 patients; they recurred in 25% of the patients, and recurrence was seen to be associated with the location of the lesions. Patients with recurrent lesions had more medical consultations and a longer treatment time. Individuals whose ulcers had healed had fewer lesions, higher body mass index (BMI), and a higher proportion of these patients underwent surgery. Conclusions: BMI and location and number of lesions are prognostic factors. Level of Evidence IV, Case Series.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: Surgical treatment options should be discussed in cases of frozen shoulder, which is usually treated in a conservative manner. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of manipulation and arthroscopic release in cases of frozen shoulder which resisted conservative treatment. Methods: A total of 32 patients who underwent manipulation and arthroscopic capsular release in 34 shoulders were included in the study. The average follow-up period was 49.5 months (range: 24-90 months). No reason for onset could be found in 8 (25%) patients, who were classified as primary frozen shoulder; twenty-four (75%) patients were classified as secondary frozen shoulder due to underlying pathologies. The average pre-operative complaint period was 11 months (range: 3-24 months). After arthroscopic examination, manipulation was performed first, followed by arthroscopic capsular release. The range of motion in both shoulders was compared before the procedure and in the last follow-up visit. Constant and Oxford classifications were used to assess functional results, and the results were assessed statistically. Results: Patient values for passive elevation, abduction, adduction-external rotation, abduction-external rotation, and abduction-internal rotation increased in a statistically significant manner between the preoperative assessment and follow-up evaluation (p<0.01). The average change of 47.97±21.03 units observed in the patients’ values obtained in the control measurements against the pre-op Constant scores was determined to be statistically significant (p<0.01). According to the Oxford classification, 29 shoulders were sufficient. Conclusion: Successful results can be obtained with arthroscopic release performed after manipulation in patients with frozen shoulder resistant to conservative treatment.

Published: December 2017

RESUMO Como consequência da ampliação do setor energético e da instalação de novas linhas de transmissão de energia (LTs), as aves estão expostas a um risco crescente de mortalidade direta em virtude da colisão com essas estruturas. Com o propósito de minimizar as colisões, sinalizadores de avifauna são instalados nos cabos para-raios das LTs. Buscamos testar a eficiência dos sinalizadores por meio de observações da alteração no comportamento de voo de aves avaliado em nível de famílias taxonômicas. Consideramos duas variáveis de exposição ao risco de colisão - posição do voo de transposição da linha e distância perpendicular em relação aos cabos - observadas em vãos sinalizados e não sinalizados de uma LT localizada no litoral norte do Rio Grande do Sul - Brasil. Realizamos o teste Qui- Quadrado (α = 0,05) para as duas variáveis de risco e para cada família em separado. Das famílias analisadas (n = 13), somente uma (Hirundinidae) apresentou alteração do comportamento de voo na presença dos sinalizadores. Apesar da sinalização dos cabos ser indicada como a medida mais apropriada para a mitigação dessas fatalidades, nossos resultados não revelaram isso quando avaliados em nível de família. No entanto, antes de abandonar essa estratégia de mitigação, nós discutimos a necessidade da aplicação de meta-análises para verificar a efetividade desses dispositivos nas TLs instaladas no Brasil, assim como a necessidade de aperfeiçoamento nos desenhos amostrais dos estudos de monitoramentos dessas infraestruturas.

Abstract Objectives: to present a methodology used by the Policy, Planning and Region Management research and the Health Care Networks in Brazil - the Regions and Networks research. Methods: description of the analytical scheme in the process of choosing health regions and criteria to select cities and health units, instruments for collecting primary and secondary data and the indicators database, besides the regional typology elaborated for data analysis. Results: the analytical scheme is based on the health policy analysis; policy, structure and organization were defined as the macro dimensions. For each one of these, sub-dimensions were defined. The questionnaire was elaborated by variables that were possible to analyze the regionalization process determinants. Five health regions were selected from the previously defined criteria. Conclusions: the method allowed to establish attributes in the regionalization, constructed by specific components - integration, coordination and regulation. The multilevel approach was important because it portrayed different perceptions from the stakeholder managers and providers according to their bonds in the city, regional and state scenarios.

Abstract Objectives: to analyze the influence and performance on Policy, Structure and Organization dimensions in the regionalization process in five health regions in Brazil. Methods: a quantitative, cross-sectional study using primary data from 217 fulfilled interviews with managers, service providers and representatives of society in five health regions in Brazil. Calculation on the Influence Index that measures the contribution level of three dimensions in regionalization. Results: after analyzing the three dimensions that influence the regionalization process separately, it is necessary to point out that there is a better performance on the Policy dimension in front of all the others; on the other hand, Structure dimension shows itself to be feeble, configuring a real obstacle to progress the regionalization process; Organization occupies an intermediate place in all the regions of the study. The insufficient availability of physical, human and financial resources impedes to advance the regionalization and the achievement of its major objectives, which are the integration of services and coordination care. Conclusions: regionalization follows an uncertain path and without clear direction of its objectives, goals and deployed instruments. The Regional planning, in the case of health, is still a theoretical exercise.

Abstract Objectives: to characterize the medical circularity in Brazil and to discuss the case in the North and South Barretos regions, São Paulo. Methods: a cross-sectional study using secondary data from the national registrations and a case study of physician’s sample in the North-Barretos and South-Barretos regions. Results: in the health regions in Brazil, on an average, 45% of the physicians in activities circulate in more than one region. The Capitals of the States have more stable physicians while more than 50% of the medical workforce work in other regions. The professionals with the greatest tendency to move from one work place to another are those who work in surgical specialties in services to uphold the diagnostic and therapy. Conclusions: there is a high circulation of physicians among the regions, with distinct characteristics between geographical and health regions. In case of Barretos area, the professionals move from one workplace to another according to their professional association and specialized practice.

Published: December 2017

Resumo Nosso trabalho se insere no campo da Formação de Professores que ensinam Matemática, tendo como proposta analisar a rede social e intelectual dos artigos que tratam sobre o tema, publicados no periódico BOLEMA (1985-2015). Tem aporte teórico na epistemologia fleckiana, considerando que o conhecimento é produzido coletivamente, de forma que os pesquisadores ao compartilharem um problema, referencial teórico e práticas comuns formam um coletivo de pensamento. A pesquisa que dá origem ao texto é quali e quantitativa, desenvolvida a partir da metodologia de Análise de Redes Sociais (ARS) e com o auxílio do software Gephi que forneceu estatísticas para a análise. Apoiada nas categorias fleckianas, a análise nos permite inferir que: a produção do conhecimento disponibilizada no periódico está fortemente vinculada à pós-graduação; a maioria dos artigos é oriunda de instituições da região Sudeste; a rede de coautoria que emerge tem baixa densidade, o que implica em pouca representatividade perante as relações compartilhadas; a rede intelectual concentra-se em três clusters: a Formação Inicial; a Formação Continuada e a Formação Contínua e Desenvolvimento Profissional, as quais apresentam circulação intra e intercoletiva de ideias que possibilitam emergir novas categorias, tratando de questões mais específicas.
Excelencia en la ciencia: uma reflexión crítica afirmativa
Authors: González Ramos Ana M. , Benavente Beatriz Revelles
Published: December 2017

RESUMEN La excelencia en la ciencia es definida como un proceso neutro para la selección y el reconocimiento de las teorías e investigaciones más valiosas. Este principio está basado en la metrización de la vida académica a través del empleo de criterios universales que apoyan el juego justo y la igualdad de oportunidades. Sin embargo, las teorías feministas han reclamado que la organización de la ciencia basada en la excelencia nunca es neutral ni objetiva. La meritocracia reproduce las desigualdades de todas las estructuras sociales, particularmente aquellas relacionadas con los estereotipos de género y las barreras en la evaluación de las carreras de investigación y los resultados de investigación. En este artículo, proponemos que la excelencia en el conocimiento es producido sólo cuándo el género y la ciencia se crean procesualmente.
O conceito de profissionalidade docente nos estudos mais recentes
Authors: Gorzoni Sílvia De Paula , Davis Claudia
Published: December 2017

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo é contribuir para a compreensão teórica do conceito de profissionalidade docente. Para tanto, o presente artigo apresenta parte de um estudo de revisão integrativa sobre o tema, com trabalhos de autores internacionais. Também foram selecionados artigos das cinco revistas mais acessadas (segundo a base SciELO) da área de educação no período de 2006 a 2014. Os resultados mostraram que a profissionalidade docente está associada a diversos aspectos, tais como: o conhecimento profissional específico; a expressão de maneira própria de ser e atuar como docente; o desenvolvimento de uma identidade profissional construída nas ações do professor e à luz das demandas sociais internas e externas à escola; a construção de competências e o desenvolvimento de habilidades próprias do ato de ensinar conquistadas durante a formação inicial e/ou continuada e também ao longo das experiências de trabalho do professor. Finalmente, observou-se a necessidade de se reportar ao termo “profissão”, cuja origem é sociológica e polissêmica, de difícil definição unívoca.

Methods: a sample consisting of three distinct groups, equally subdivided into Nasal, Oral and Oronasal Respirators. The behavior of the orbicular muscle of the mouth (upper part) and mentual one was measured by surface electromyography at rest, swallowing and labial isometry. Results: in all situations investigated, the orbicular muscle of the mouth (upper part) and mental muscle showed no significant difference in relation to Root Means Square, that is, average electrical activity between Oral and Oronasal Respirators. The data showed a significant difference in In Nasal Respirators, as compared to the other groups. Conclusion: similarity was seen in the comparison of perioral muscles behavior between oral and oronasal respirators, however, a significant difference in relation to nasal respirators.
Effects of orofacial myofunctional therapy on the symptoms and physiological parameters of sleep breathing disorders in adults: a systematic review
Authors: Kayamori Fabiane , Bianchini Esther Mandelbaum Gonçalves
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Recently, the orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) has appeared as a possible alternative treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Systematic reviews are required to achieve scientific evidence, seeking to direct the decision on therapeutic issues. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature about the OMT proposals in adults with OSA related to symptoms and physiological parameters. Data sources were Lilacs, MEDLINE, Pubmed, Cochrane and Scielo using the descriptors: obstructive sleep apnea; myofunctional therapy; oropharyngeal exercises; breathing exercises; upper airway exercises; speech therapy. Studies published from 2000 to 2017 that evaluated the treatment with isolated OMT in subjects with OSA were included, obligatorily with polysomnographic data, pre and post therapy. Eight studies, out of 124 articles, were eligible according to the criteria adopted. Two systematic reviews, one clinical trial, three randomized clinical trials, and two case reports were included. Six studies showed a decrease in the Apnea and Hypopnea Index (AHI), five studies showed improvement in the minimum SpO2, decrease in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and in snoring. OMT proposals refer to a three-month program changing the parameters related to partial reduction of AHI, ESS index, snoring, and partial increase of SpO2. There are few randomized studies.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Purposes: to design a sentence identification test with pictures for adults (Teste de Identificação de Sentenças com Figuras (TIS-F)) as an alternative for evaluation of auditory figure-background ability for verbal sounds, based on the Pediatric Speech Intelligibility Test and also for assessment of unskillful individuals who cannot accomplish other tests with higher levels of difficulty and greater demands. Methods: the Adobe Illustrator software was used and the image vectorization technique applied for figures creation. The sentences and the competitive message were audio-recorded in a sound treated room by a female announcer, using the software - REAPER - FM Digital Audio Workstation. Results: the TIS-F consisted of a 32 x 45 cm card, containing 10 figures, each one measuring 12 x 12 cm; one compact disc containing a track with the test calibration tone and seven test tracks, each one containing ten sentences and a competitive message and a specific protocol. Conclusion: the TIS-F is composed of a compact disc with dual-channel recording, with seven tracks containing ten sentences and the competitive story, one card containing ten pictures and a labeling protocol for all presentations and S/N in use, as well as the established normality values.

A total of 189 subjects (mean age 53.06 years) divided into four groups. Group 1: subjects with normal auditory thresholds without tinnitus complaint; Group 2: subjects with normal auditory thresholds and tinnitus complaint; Group 3: subjects with sensorineural hearing loss without tinnitus complaint; Group 4: subjects with sensorineural hearing loss and with tinnitus complaint. Levels of quality of life were investigated through the World Health Organization Quality Of Life (WHOQOL) website - brief and psycho-emotional and functional aspects of patients with tinnitus through the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI). Statistical analyzes, comparisons among groups and descriptive analysis were performed, considering a significance level of 5%. Results: the overall mean scores of quality of life in group 4 (56.07) were smaller than those of group 1 (64.67) (p<0.05). The subjects with tinnitus complaint presented a moderate level of disturbance of the symptom. Conclusion: tinnitus interferes in the quality of life of individuals who had preserved or altered auditory thresholds. Therefore, means to reduce the discomfort caused by tinnitus symptom should be developed, in order to improve patients' quality of life.

ABSTRACT Purposes: to evaluate spontaneous language development through the Mean Length of Utterance in words (MLU-w) of children with gestational age between 28 and 36 weeks. This research also aims to study if the gestational age, birth weight, gender, and parents’ level of formal education can influence that measurement. Methods: nineteen premature children (9 males, 10 females), in the age range 4-5 years old, enrolled on Lisbon area kindergartens, and considered as having typical development, participated in this research. Spontaneous speech of each child was recorded for 30 minutes and transcribed afterwards. Results: mean values of MLU-w of Portuguese premature children were significantly lower than those with typical development. A positive and significant correlation between the gestational age and the birth weight with the MLU-w was also found. The gender of the children and the parents’ level of formal education showed no influence on the results. Conclusion: these results reinforce the need to identify, on these children, possible deficits, in order to prevent negative impacts in school education, and stimulate their psychosocial development.

ABSTRACT Poeciliids comprise around 300 species inhabiting the fresh and brackish waters of the Americas and Africa. Poecilia reticulata is native to Northeastern South America and Trinidad and Tobago. In this paper, introduced specimens of P. reticulata collected in the lower Paraguay River in Argentina, were characterized by means of molecular and taxonomic approaches. We further explore, by means of DNA Barcoding, the singularity of the genetic identity of these specimens. Ocurrence of P. reticulata in the lower Paraguay River represents the first record of this species in Argentina. Thirteen individuals of P. reticulata were collected. DNA barcoding showed that all five specimens sampled belong to a single mitochondrial lineage, which was also present in 11 countries from five continents. The distance-based tree clearly grouped separetely four different clusters of P. reticulata when including public data. Genetic distance between the most divergent P. reticulata almost paralleled distance between this species and Poecilia mexicana and P. vivipara. Established populations from Paraguay could be one of the plausible sources for the introduced populations recorded in the lower Paraguay River. The presence of P. reticulata in an open waterway with known drainage to a natural stream is of major concern.
As Organizações e a Felicidade no Trabalho: Uma Perspectiva Integrada
Authors: Sender Gisela , Fleck Denise
Published: December 2017

Resumo A despeito do grande número de estudos relacionados à felicidade derivada do trabalho nas organizações, estes são dispersos, divergentes e, portanto, pouco conclusivos. Isto traz dificuldades para a evolução da pesquisa sobre este tópico e para a tomada de decisões no dia a dia quanto ao tema nas empresas. Tomando por base uma revisão de literatura abrangente, este artigo propõe uma perspectiva que engloba o conhecimento desenvolvido sobre o assunto até o momento. Para tanto, parte de três questões: como se define felicidade no trabalho; o efeito da felicidade no trabalho nos resultados das empresas; e o que torna os indivíduos felizes no trabalho. A proposta de perspectiva integrada utiliza os princípios de Kahneman e Riis (2005), concentrando-se principalmente nos antecedentes da felicidade no trabalho e seus possíveis impactos no comportamento do indivíduo na organização.

Resumo Este artigo revela o perfil de internacionalização dos pesquisadores brasileiros no campo de Administração de Sistemas de Informação (ADI) com base em análise de três dimensões: Formação, Disseminação de pesquisa e Colaboração em redes internacionais. Baseado na coleta de dados provenientes da Plataforma Lattes, Google Scholar e dos websites das instituições de ensino, referente a um total de 554 pesquisadores com doutorado completo, um grupo de 50 pesquisadores brasileiros neste campo foi identificado com algum grau de inserção internacional. Este estudo revela que os pesquisadores mais internacionalizados do campo são majoritariamente provenientes de instituições das regiões Sudeste (66%) e do Sul (28%) do País. Apenas uma parcela (16%) desses pesquisadores realizou doutorado no exterior, embora outros tenham tido experiências internacionais por intermédio de pós-doutorado (38%), cursos de extensão (45%) ou bolsa sanduíche (18%). A Disseminação internacional dos trabalhos deste grupo de pesquisadores cresceu 65% no período entre 2010 e 2015, com publicação em periódicos e participação em congressos internacionais. A rede de Colaboração internacional deste grupo de pesquisadores também foi identificada na pesquisa.

Resumo O presente artigo tecnológico tem como finalidade propor uma metodologia para gestão da inovação que objetiva atender às necessidades de micro e pequenas empresas de base tecnológica. O desenvolvimento dessa metodologia ocorre no âmbito do programa da Financiadora Nacional do Projetos (FINEP) para a estruturação de Núcleos de Apoio à Gestão da Inovação (Nagis), visando à elaboração de Planos e Projetos de Gestão da Inovação nas empresas brasileiras. Para o desenvolvimento da presente proposta, foi realizada uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa desenvolvida em duas etapas principais. Na primeira fase, desenvolveu-se uma revisão da literatura dos principais elementos para gestão da inovação, especialmente no contexto das micro e pequenas empresas. Na segunda, foram selecionados cinco NAGIs, dentre os 24 aprovados na chamada pública MCTI/FINEP, de acordo com sua trajetória desenvolvida até o momento da pesquisa, em janeiro de 2014. A metodologia proposta – Rota da Inovação – parte da Visão Baseada nos Recursos (VBR), com uma perspectiva processual e lúdica, relacionando o processo de inovação a uma rota de navegação. A lógica das ilhas na Rota da Inovação tem como base as etapas do processo de inovação. O objetivo dessa abordagem foi tornar a metodologia de fácil compreensão e implementação pelas micro e pequenas empresas.

RESUMO Introdução Na fissura de palato, a realização de um diagnóstico preciso das alterações de fala auxilia o processo de reabilitação, direcionando o tratamento para a disfunção velofaríngea. Objetivo Determinar o estímulo de fala que melhor identifica a hipernasalidade, comparando a nasalidade da fala e a nasalância em estímulos de alta e baixa pressão intraoral, em indivíduos com fissura palatina. Métodos Quarenta e quatro indivíduos com fissura de palato±lábio operada, de ambos os sexos, com idades entre 6 e 59 anos, foram submetidos, simultaneamente, à nasometria e gravação de fala. A nasalância foi determinada utilizando amostras de fala com consoantes de alta pressão intraoral (AP) e consoantes de baixa pressão intraoral (BP). Três examinadores experientes classificaram a nasalidade nas duas amostras (AP e BP), de acordo com uma escala de 4 pontos (1=hipernasalidade ausente, 2=hipernasalidade leve, 3=hipernasalidade moderada, 4=hipernasalidade grave). Resultados Os escores médios ±desvio padrão de nasalância obtidos para as amostras AP e BP foram 31±15% e 31±12%, respectivamente, sem diferença (p=1,0). A concordância entre os examinadores foi maior para as amostras AP. A média de nasalidade entre as duas amostras apresentou diferença (p=0,05). As amostras AP apresentaram forte correlação entre os escores de nasalância e hipernasalidade e as amostras BP apresentaram correlação substancial. Conclusão A amostra composta por consoantes de alta pressão intraoral mostrou maior eficácia na identificação da hipernasalidade, pois proporcionou maior concordância entre os examinadores na análise perceptual da nasalidade, apresentou forte correlação entre os dois métodos utilizados e permitiu o diagnóstico de hipernasalidade em maior número de indivíduos.

Abstract Online journalism is increasing every day. There are many news agencies, newspapers, and magazines using digital publication in the global network. Documents published online are available to users, who use search engines to find them. In order to deliver documents that are relevant to the search, they must be indexed and classified. Due to the vast number of documents published online every day, a lot of research has been carried out to find ways to facilitate automatic document classification. The objective of the present study is to describe an experimental approach for the automatic classification of journalistic documents published on the Internet using the Vector Space Model for document representation. The model was tested based on a real journalism database, using algorithms that have been widely reported in the literature. This article also describes the metrics used to assess the performance of these algorithms and their required configurations. The results obtained show the efficiency of the method used and justify further research to find ways to facilitate the automatic classification of documents.
