JUVENTUDE(S) E ENSINO MÉDIO: DA INCLUSÃO ESCOLAR EXCLUDENTE AOS JOVENS CONSIDERADOS NEM-NEM
Authors: Bernardim Márcio Luiz , Da Silva Monica Ribeiro
Published: December 2017

Neste estudo discorremos sobre as tensões que marcam a(s) juventude(s) no século 21 e suas interrelações com o processo educativo escolar. Retomamos as principais correntes teóricas que versam sobre o conceito de juventude, analisando as limitações das abordagens que a consideram como um sujeito idealizado e destituído de materialidade histórica. Ao demonstrar a amplitude e demarcar a compreensão da categoria juventude, discutimos as condições e expectativas acerca do Ensino Médio a partir dos dados primários coligidos, concluindo com a análise das relações entre escola e trabalho e das dificuldades enfrentadas pelos jovens diante do universo escolar. Tanto a pluralidade que caracteriza a condição juvenil quanto as formas de manifestação da subjetividade dimensionam o desafio que é compreender hoje a(s) juventude(s) em sua dinâmica relação com a escola.
Fatores organizacionais internos que facilitam ou dificultam a inovação de produtos: estudo de caso em uma empresa que utiliza a tipologia eto
Authors: Donha Rogério Gonçalves , Guimarães Márcia Regina Neves
Published: December 2017

A inovação é considerada importante quando se trata da competitividade das organizações em geral. Assim, a compreensão dos fatores que facilitam e também dos que dificultam a sua prática torna-se relevante. Nesse contexto, esse artigo tem por objetivo identificar fatores organizacionais internos que podem facilitar ou inibir a inovação de produto no desenvolvimento de produtos ETO (engenharia sob encomenda ou engineer to order). Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa que utiliza o estudo de caso único em uma empresa multinacional como método de procedimento. Entre os principais resultados é possível citar, como fatores internos à organização que favorecem a inovação, a liberdade e a autonomia na condução de projetos, a disponibilidade de recursos financeiros, o aprendizado contínuo e o compartilhamento de experiências e a existência de indivíduos chave. Por outro lado, como inibidores, destacam-se: a falta de tempo por alta carga de trabalho, a política de treinamentos ineficiente e a falta de integração interfuncional.

Der Beitrag zeigt, wie mit Hilfe der Methode der agentenbasierten Modellierung und Simulation (ABMS) ein Beitrag zur ex-ante Policy-Beratung geleistet werden kann. Anhand eines exemplarischen Anwendungsfalls, der VISIBLE Simulationsumgebung („Virtual Simulation Lab for the Analysis of Investments in Learning and Education“), diskutieren wir die Konsequenzen unterschiedlicher Kooperationsförderinstrumente für Wissensdiffusionsprozesse in Netzwerken am Beispiel der Region Heilbronn-Franken. Die Simulationsergebnisse zeigen, dass die strukturelle Konfiguration eines regionalen Innovationssystems eine zentrale Bedeutung für die Gestaltung von Kooperationsfördermaßnahmen hat und dass Interventionen, die darauf abzielen, Wissenstransfer zwischen den Akteuren anzuregen, genau die entgegengesetzten Wirkungen entfalten können.

Published: December 2017

Oral anticoagulation is mandatory for patients at high risk of thromboembolism, but the risk of bleeding should also be taken into account. Direct oral anticoagulants are now recommended for non-valvular AF as a potential alternative to warfarin. In this article we discuss methods to assess the anticoagulant effect of these agents, specific and general antidotes, and management of complications such as embolic and haemorrhagic stroke, and significant bleeding.
Alfred Schutz as a critic of social ontological: robinsonades Revisiting his objections to Husserl’s 5th Cartesian meditation
Authors: Gros Alexis
Published: December 2017

***Alfred Schutz como um crítico de robinsonadas social-ontológicas :revisitando suas objeções à 5ª meditação cartesiana de Husserl***Alfred Schutz tende a ser equivocadamente considerado como um ilustre representante do individualismo ontológico social. Neste artigo, busco corrigir esta interpretação deturpada da sua obra por meio de uma revisão de sua crítica ao que eu chamo de “Robinsonadas” – tomando emprestado um termo marxiano – intrínsecas à 5ª Meditação Cartesiana de Husserl. Meu argumento é que a reconstrução sistemática desta crítica clássica permite esclarecer a verdadeira preocupação ontológica de Schutz, a saber: o intersubjetivismo ontológico social.
Does subinhibitory concentrations of clinically important antibiotic induce biofilm production of Enterococcus faecium strains?
Authors: Yuksel Fatma Neslihan , Karatug Neslihan Taskale , Akcelik Mustafa
Published: December 2017

Biofilm structures are the most resistant form of active microorganisms against sanitation, disinfection, and sterilization processes. One of the specific properties of biofilm is the development of antibiotic resistance that can be up to 1,000-fold greater than planktonic cells. Enterococcus faecium is a human pathogen that causes nosocomial bacteremia and at the present time, it is well known that most of the chronic infections are biofilm-based. Recent evidence suggested that subinhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of antibiotics have an important role in the evolution of antibiotic resistance and induction on biofilm formation. Based on this information, we aimed to determine the effect of subinhibitory antibiotic concentrations on biofilm formation and the role of the antibiotic concentrations on the enterococcal surface protein gene (esp). To determine the impact of clinically important antibiotics on biofilm production, crystal violet assay was used. Then, the effect of sub-MICs of antibiotics on the expression of the esp gene was investigated by quantitative real-time PCR. Biofilm production assays show that MIC/2 of erythromycin (ERT; 512 μg/ml), MIC/32 of vancomycin (VAN; 16 μg/ml), MIC/64 of streptomycin (STR; 32 μg/ml), and MIC/128 of kanamycin (KAN; 4 μg/ml) values induce maximum biofilm production compared with the control. According to q-PCR results, sub-MIC values of ERT, VAN, and STR antibiotics were found to enhance esp gene expression. In addition, despite the increasing biofilm production after KAN treatment, the antibiotic was not effective on the esp expression.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate if middle-aged and older adults with a higher education would differ from those with an average education in cognitive-motor tasks involving lower limb function. Methods: A walking version of the Trail Making Test (Walking Executive Function Task, [WEFT]) was used. Eighty volunteers (40: 50–65 years; 40: 66–80 years) were subdivided into average (6–11years of education) and higher education (12–17 years). They received two training sessions (session 1: eight repetitions, session 2: four repetitions), with a one week-interval between them. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test was performed before and after the training. Results: Volunteers with an average education showed longer times on the WEFT than those with a higher education. Older adults showed lower retention than middle-aged adults (p < 0.001). The TUG was faster after the WEFT training (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The impact of education was observed when locomotion was associated with cognitive tasks. Average education resulted in poorer performance and learning than higher education, mainly in older adults. Gait speed increased after training.
DA INSERÇÃO AO EMPODERAMENTO: ANÁLISE DA TRAJETÓRIA DE DIRETORAS DE INSTITUIÇÕES PRIVADAS DE ENSINO SUPERIOR DE BELO HORIZONTE
Authors: Gontijo Míriam Rabelo , Melo Marlene Catarina de Oliveira Lopes
Published: December 2017

RESUMO Este estudo analisa as relações de gênero no setor educacional, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e análise de relatos de histórias de vida de diretoras de Instituições de Ensino Superior privadas. A participação das mulheres no mercado de trabalho vem se consolidando com o passar dos anos, com destaque para a área da educação, fazendo com que esse processo de inserção do gênero feminino seja constante e gradativo. No entanto, ao assumir cargos na escala hierárquica, principalmente nas instituições de ensino superior, percebe-se que, pouco a pouco, seus lugares passam a ser ocupados por homens que, em grande parte das situações, estão no comando e são os responsáveis pelas principais tomadas de decisões que dizem respeito ao futuro das instituições. Neste estudo, três diretoras de instituições de ensino superior privadas pertencentes a grupos educacionais localizados em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, foram convidadas a compartilhar um pouco de sua trajetória rumo ao empoderamento. Constatou-se, ao final do estudo, que, embora as três diretoras estejam adiantadas em seu processo de empoderamento, situações cotidianas mostram a existência de um “teto de vidro” construído por meio de um preconceito velado no ramo educacional.

ABSTRACT Objective: To construct and validate a nursing care protocol in anesthesia. Method: methodological study of face and content validation, judging clarity, relevance, pertinence and comprehensiveness of a care protocol, elaborated from the integrative review of previous literature and based on the conceptual model of assistance perioperative nursing of Castellanos and Jouclas. The protocol was evaluated by five anesthesiologists and nurses from the surgical center. The results were analyzed through the content validity index. Results: among the 119 items assessed by experts, 11 (9.2%) instrument items presented content validity index of <80% and were changed. The items with disagreement were related to the selection and availability of materials and equipment, especially before anesthetic induction. The content validity index, obtained for the different items, proposed after the amendments mentioned, ranged from 80 to 100%, in the three periods of anesthesia, indicating the proper validity of the proposed content. Conclusion: the nursing care protocol in anesthesia was considered valid.
GESTÃO DO TRABALHO EM SAÚDE: SENTIDOS E USOS DA EXPRESSÃO NO CONTEXTO HISTÓRICO BRASILEIRO
Authors: Viana Dirce Laplaca , Martins Cleide Lavieri , Frazão Paulo
Published: December 2017

Resumo No Brasil, a expressão ‘gestão do trabalho’ passou a ser utilizada após a 12a Conferência Nacional de Saúde em substituição a ‘recursos humanos’. O objetivo foi analisar, com base no contexto histórico brasileiro, os sentidos atribuídos à expressão ‘gestão do trabalho em saúde’ na literatura científica brasileira, por meio de scoping review na base Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs), entre 1990 e 2010. De 436 estudos identificados, 34 foram incluídos. Houve crescimento absoluto das publicações após a 3a Conferência Nacional de Gestão do Trabalho e Educação em Saúde, 2006. O conteúdo foi sintetizado em cinco unidades temáticas: conceitos de gestão do trabalho em saúde, formulação de políticas, participação dos trabalhadores nos processos de trabalho, precarização do trabalho e novos desafios. Observou-se consenso sobre a complexidade da expressão e os aspectos distintos foram explorados dependendo das características políticas, sociais e econômicas no momento da construção do pensamento. As discussões teóricas deveriam estimular mudanças nas práticas de gestão e cultura dos modelos de produção, porém as mudanças são escassas, restando um questionamento não desvelado: gestão do trabalho em saúde, uma mudança terminológica ou de paradigma?

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to integrative review of publications concerning the role of speech and language therapists in regards to communication strategies in palliative care, as well as the characterization of the types of communication used in these cases. The search was conducted in the databases SciELO, LILACS and PubMed from 2001 to 2016. The studies selected included abstracts or full articles addressing aspects of communication in palliative care, especially those related to speech and language therapy, with an emphasis on communication. Ten articles focused on communication, and published after 2004, were selected, half being literature reviews, two, case reports, two others, quantitative exploratory studies, and one, a qualitative exploratory study, with only 3 specifically describing the communication strategies used by speech and language therapists in patients in palliative care. The descriptors found were: palliative care, communication, speech and language therapy, quality of life, dysphagia, swallowing and elderly. Four of the ten articles showed the importance of patients communication in palliative care. When described, it is up to the speech and language therapist to provide family support, evaluate the patient, favore patient-family and patient-team intervention, manage and intervene in communication and swallowing. Finally, the most used communication strategies were non-verbal communication, communication board, electronic equipment, verbal communication and speech valve. The analysis of the characterization of the communication in palliative care over the past 15 years allowed concluding that the attention to communication is recent and is only described in a few reports, includes non-verbal communication in different ways as the most frequent resource, but provides oral communication as an important factor for maintaining dignity and comfort in this scenario. Speech and language therapist are the main interlocutors for the maintenance, mediation and adaptation of communication, within the multidisciplinary team as well as among patients, their family and the care team.

Published: December 2017

Abstract Aim: In this study, we analyzed the structure of the copepod community along a longitudinal axis of the last undammed stretch of the Upper Paraná River floodplain, downstream of Porto Primavera reservoir. We hypothesized that (i) copepod assemblage would show an increase in the abundance of organisms, species richness and specific diversity with the distance from the Porto Primavera reservoir, due to the arrival of species from adjacent lakes and tributaries; (ii) copepod abundance and species richness would be higher in tributaries and adjacent lakes located at the floodplain, which show higher environmental heterogeneity and function as a species source; and (iii) spatial patterns of copepod assemblage structure are related to the environmental gradient, since copepods show a rapid response to the variation of environmental conditions. Method Sampling was performed quarterly from August 2013 to July 2014, at the subsurface of the pelagic region. Sampling sites were located along the Paraná River, in seven of its tributaries, and in eight lakes located in its floodplain. Results We identified 29 species belonging to two families: Cyclopidae (21 species) and Diaptomidae (eight species). On contrary of our first hypothesis, ANOVA results showed a significant decrease in copepod abundance in the downstream direction. Similarly, the tributaries showed higher values of ecological attributes in the upstream stretch. RDA results showed that in axis 1, the Paraná River and the lakes were positively correlated with conductivity, pH, temperature and suspended organic matter, characterized by the most abundant copepod species. The tributaries, on the other hand, were negatively correlated with turbidity, total nitrogen, total phosphorus and depth. Axis 2 showed a positive correlation of the Paraná River with conductivity and suspended organic matter, and a higher abundance of Argyrodiaptomus azevedoi, Notodiaptomus iheringi, N. henseni, N. cearensis and N. cf. spinuliferus. On the other hand, the lakes were positively correlated with temperature and pH and also with a higher abundance of Thermocyclops minutus and T. decipiens. Conclusion We highlight the importance of the maintenance of the ecological integrity of the Upper Paraná River floodplain, especially of its tributaries, in order to support the high biodiversity registered in the last undammed stretch. Furthermore, we highlight the importance of manipulation of water levels in reservoirs located upstream of this stretch, a necessary condition to maintain the hydrological connectivity between floodplain habitats and the main river.

Discovering critical intersections in a road network
Authors: Guo Haifeng , Xu Jia , Cai Huabo , Jiang Guiyan , Liu Songzhen
Published: December 2017

A sound understanding of the importance of intersections within a road network is a key factor for the efficient and effective management and control of transport networks when traffic operations are saturated. Conventional indices (e.g. level of service, degree of saturation, capacity, or delay) reflect only the states of an intersection itself, but lack the ability to describe the influences among the intersections within a road network. This study specifically presents a novel index, the intersection rank, to evaluate the importance of an intersection within a road network; this index refers to the view of the PageRank algorithm and further considers static connection structures and dynamic influences of traffic volumes between intersections. The experiment, conducted using a simulated road network with 30 intersections, shows that the presented method has superior capability in discovering critical intersections and reveals the interrelationships between intersections. These findings can be used to discover important intersections and adjust scarce spatiotemporal resources of the road transportation system during saturated traffic operations; moreover, they will be helpful for practitioners in undertaking efficient control and management of the road network.

Published: December 2017

We have three program files that produced all of the results we discuss in the paper. Allare iPython Jupyter Notebook files. The names are: wasps_replicator_11-single_caste.ipynb, wasps_replicator_11.ipynb, and dothegraphics.ipynb. The main code is in wasps_replicator_11.ipynb, with the first file simply modified for convenience for running the case in which every agent has the same caste. The results here were obtained in order to assure the conclusion that social hierarchy is influencing the results. The third file, dothegraphics.ipynb, accesses the data in the .csv files produced by the first two files. Because this is straightforward we include the here, but do not discuss it further. So, our protocol amounts to little more than: put the files in the right directory structure, open the notebook file, edit it to set the desired parameter values (defaults are given), and run it. We note that the iPython Notebook files have been given extensive annotation for the sake of documentation. The right directory structure is this: codeandoutputs/ code/ outputs/ And the three code files mentioned above (the *.ipynb files) go into the code/ directory and are run from there.
ALT/GPT Detection Assay v1
Authors: Carneiro Zumira
Published: December 2017

Intended use: Kinetic system for Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT/ GPT) activity determination. Teste Principle: ALT catalyzes the transfer of amino groups from Alanine to Ketoglutarate, yielding pyruvate and Glutamate. The pyruvate is reduced to lactate by for action of the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) which oxidizes NADH to NAD+. The reduction of the absorbance at 340 nm, as consequence of NADH oxidation, must be photometricaly monitored, and is proportional to the ALT activity in the sample. Aminotransferase determination involves the following reactions: L-alanine + Ketoglutarate ---(ALT) → Pyruvate + L-Glutamate Pyruvate + NADH ---(LDH)→ NAD+ L-lactate

Published: December 2017

Numa investigação sobre o impacto do bullying no Concelho de Viseu questionaram-se 1635 alunos do 3.º ao 12.º ano de escolaridade. Utilizou-se um questionário de autorrelato onde 9.3% referiram sentir-se vítimas e 21.6% indicaram agressões frequentes. O bullying e a agressão frequente apresentam maior incidência no 1.º ciclo e variam de forma diferenciada ao longo da escolaridade. As vítimas de bullying comparativamente com os agredidos de forma frequente apresentam maior isolamento nos intervalos, mais absentismo escolar e menor afeto positivo e bem-estar psicológico. Concluímos que o envolvimento na vitimização tem um impacto negativo, sobretudo nos alunos vítimas de bullying.

O movimento Law and Economics e a eficiência como critério de justiça: incompatibilidades entre direito, economia e democracia
Authors: Marcellino Jr. Julio Cesar
Published: December 2017

O presente artigo trata sobre a teoria da Análise Econômica do Direito, também conhecida por Law and Economics. Disserta sobre seu surgimento nos Estados Unidos da América, mostrando que inicialmente tal teoria estava ligada ao direito concorrencial, direito de marcas e patentes, leis antitruste, e posteriormente, passou a se relacionar com outros ramos do Direito, a exemplo, o direito de família, o direito penal, o direito processual penal e civil, o direito administrativo, e o direito constitucional. Tal teoria desde então tem ocupado importante espaço no universo jurídico, trazendo novas implicações ao direito latino-americano. A Law and Economics trabalha com um novo conceito de justiça, equiparando-o a eficiência, pautando, assim, todo o Direito pela busca da maximização de riquezas e criando um parâmetro normativo ligado a lógica do custo-benefício. Entende-se que a visão economicista do Direito se apresenta como incompatível com a tradição jurídica e democrática ocidental e com o perfil constitucional brasileiro.
Razão e crime

Published: December 2017

Destaca-se nesta sintética abordagem a apresentação de forma sucinta, porém elucidativa, as formas de organização e composição filosófica do pensamento e ação dos Grupos Criminosos organizados no sistema prisional de Santa Catarina. Sua gênese criminosa remonta os tempos duros do Regime Militar, onde a miscigenação de criminosos comuns com criminosos políticos trouxe uma simbiose perigosa, vindo a formar a capacitação intelectual de marginais aliando técnicas de guerrilha. Dos tempos de sua criação aos democráticos dias atuais muito se evoluiu em termos de pensamento criminoso. Os Grupos passaram a se organizar e estudar. Muitos líderes passam seu tempo de cárcere lendo pensadores e filósofos, dentre eles Marx, Hobbes, Kant, Maquiavel e mais recentemente descobriram Habermas e Hobsbawm. Seu crescimento foi inevitável, e atualmente existem diversos grupos criminosos, inclusive em Santa Catarina, representados pelo PGC, Primeiro Grupo Catarinense, todos entrelaçados e ligados ao Primeiro Comando da Capital, o PCC, que dita a ideologia, diretrizes e normatização de conduta. Esta constatação de aprimoramento intelectual criminoso está cada vez mais evidente nos procedimentos adotados em rebeliões e atentados contra o Estado.

Nowadays the Family Planning Extension (PKB) still plays crucial role in supporting the success of population programs and family development. The implementation of decentralization policies that impacting existence of family planning programs is interesting for further analysis in their relation to the performance of PKB. In Kabupaten Pemalang, their performance is still relatively good. This good performance due to a number of factors such as competence, work motivation, work environment and leadership style perception. This study aims to examine to what extent the influence of four variables on the performance of PKB as a single or common variables. The research used a quantitative approach. Research populations are PKB members which consist of 93 people, all of which are sampled (total sample technique). Data obtained through questionnaires which then analyzed using simple linear regression test and multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS version 20 program. The results showed there is a significant influence of competence on PKB performance of 44.7 percent. Similarly, the work motivation, work environment and perceptions of the leadership style of supervisors individually influence the performance of PKB respectively by 15.3 percent, 39.7 percent and 18.4 percent. These four variables also affect the performance of PKB of 52.8 percent. The research concluded that the effort to improve the performance of PKB in Pemalang Regency is by increasing the competence of PKB through education and training activities, support facilities and work infrastructure and execution of tasks democratic.

Catálogo técnico y sus zonas de intervención: análisis "bottom-up" de un encargo de traducción
Authors: Morón Martín Marián
Published: December 2017

El presente trabajo se centra en analizar algunas de las «zonas de intervención» (ZDI) (Morón, 2010: 125) del traductor de textos vinculados al comercio exterior, en este caso: un catálogo de productos de una pyme (pequeña y mediana empresa). Partiendo de una concepción amplia respecto a la traducción económica (Gallego, 2012), comercial (Mayoral, 2006) o empresarial (Suau, 1998), y basándonos en el modelo de análisis textual de Nord (1991), este trabajo abordará un enfoque de análisis y toma de decisiones bottom-up, centrado en las características del texto y la situación comunicativa, para desgranar las decisiones más globales que habrá de tomar el traductor en su ejercicio profesional. Nuestro posicionamiento respecto a la «intervención» del traductor, lejos de planteamientos epistemológicos o ideológicos, adopta una perspectiva meramente pragmática desde un enfoque profesional y didáctico. El docente «interviene» en el proceso con el objetivo de activar las competencias del alumnado, anima al estudiante a «intervenir» (poner en práctica conocimientos, destrezas y habilidades, fundamentalmente, estratégicas, y de acuerdo a la función comunicativa del acto traslativo), y plantea un escenario profesional de «intervención», donde prima la implicación e interacción del profesional con su entorno (Holz-Mänttäri, 1984: 1986).

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonosis caused by the Toxoplasma gondii protozoa. The congenital form happens when the parasite reaches the fetus through the placenta and causes damages of different intensities, which can be consequence of the strain virulence, of the immune response capability of the pregnant woman or even of the pregnancy stage, and can result in fetal death or severe clinical symptomatology. The aim of this paper was to determine the prevalence of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in pregnant woman seen at the Basic Health Units (BHU) in the city of Umuarama (PR) and check for possible toxoplasmosis associations with social-demographic characteristics, behavior and environmental variables. In this study, a total of 813 pregnant women who had their prenatal exams at the BHU in the city of Umuarama (PR) were included. Blood samples collected from these subjects were submitted to IgG and IgM anti-T. gondii antibody survey. Each pregnant woman answered an epidemiological questionnaire for the detection of variables, which were later analyzed by the EpiInfo program. The prevalence detected for IgG and IgM anti-T. gondii antibodies were 56.8% and 1.0%, respectively. The variables age group, education level, per capita income, number of pregnancies, ingestion of fresh sausage, presence of peridomiciliary cats in the backyard and the habit of ingesting farm milk showed association to the infection by T. gondii.
She-austerity. Precariedad y desigualdad laboral de las mujeres en el sur de Europa
Authors: Alcañiz Mercedes , Monteiro Rosa
Published: December 2017

El artículo presenta un análisis comparativo y longitudinal de la situación de las mujeres en España, Portugal e Italia, desde el inicio de la crisis. Los objetivos específicos son: exponer el mercado laboral femenino en los tres países, examinar la presencia laboral de las mujeres desde la perspectiva de la precariedad y analizar la posición de mujeres y hombres en las relaciones de género desde la perspectiva de la desigualdad de género. La investigación se llevó a cabo mediante la técnica de análisis documental de fuentes secundarias de estadísticas oficiales. Se concluye que la crisis ha afectado a las mujeres de los países europeos del sur de manera similar por su mayor continuidad en el desempeño del rol de género tradicional, pero, a la vez, se observan algunas diferencias entre ellos como consecuencia de las diferentes estructuras económicas, legislaciones laborales y protección social.
Papel de las instituciones en los territorios subnacionales

Published: December 2017

La teoría económica neoinstitucional argumenta que el desempeño económico de un territorio es influido por el papel de sus instituciones; sin embargo, las evidencias de tales estudios se han validado casi exclusivamente a partir de agrupación de países. El presente artículo explora la relación de diferentes variables institucionales formales e informales con el desempeño económico y la tasa de crecimiento del Producto Interno Bruto para los territorios subnacionales (departamentos) en Colombia. Se utilizan correlaciones para conocer el nivel de asociación entre variables institucionales con el crecimiento económico. Los resultados empíricos muestran una serie de variables institucionales que guardan relación estadísticamente significativa con el comportamiento económico subnacional, lo que demuestra el papel de las reglas de juego desde los territorios.
Feminización de la judicatura española
Authors: Gómez-Bahillo Carlos , Elboj-Saso Carmen , Marcén-Muñío Celia
Published: December 2017

La judicatura española está experimentando una transformación importante, y en las últimas promociones las mujeres superan a los hombres. No obstante, hasta fechas muy recientes la mujer ha estado discriminada en el acceso a puestos de máxima responsabilidad, donde su representación es reducida, a pesar de reunir las condiciones requeridas. Previsiblemente, en los próximos años la presencia de la mujer en los órganos de decisión y gestión judicial se habrá incrementado sustancialmente y, como consecuencia de ello, tal vez la justicia sea más efiaz y efiiente. La metodología utilizada es de carácter cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo y analítico, dado que se estudia el aumento creciente de la presencia de mujeres dentro de la carrera judicial española, y se hace un análisis del proceso de feminización de los profesionales de la justicia. Y también de carácter cualitativo, recogiendo sus opiniones sobre este fenómeno y las condiciones de igualdad existentes en la organización judicial española.
Perbandingan Metode Granulasi Basah dan Kempa Langsung Terhadap Sifat Fisik dan Waktu Hancur Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODTs) Piroksikam
Authors: Suhery Wira Noviana , Fernando Armon , Giovanni Buddy
Published: December 2017

Telah dilakukan penelitian mengenai perbandingan penggunaan metode granulasi basah dan kempa langsung terhadap sifat fisik dan waktu hancur orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) piroksikam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan metode pembuatan ODTs piroksikam yang menghasilkan sifat fisik tablet dan waktu hancur yang paling baik. Komposisi formula pada metode granulasi basah dan cetak langsung sama tiap tabletnya yaitu Piroksikam 20 mg, Primellose® 5%, PVP K30 1%, Mg stearat 1%, Manitol 10%, dan Comprecel® ad 175 mg. Tablet ODTs kemudian dievaluasi sifat fisiknya yang meliputi keseragaman bobot, keseragaman ukuran, kekerasan, friabilitas dan friksibilitas, waktu hancur, rasio penyerapan air, waktu pembasahan dan penetapan kadar serta uji disolusi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua metode menghasilkan sifat fisik tablet yang baik. Namun metode kempa langsung memberikan waktu hancur yang lebih cepat yaitu 55,51 detik dibandingkan dengan metode granulasi basah. Hasil uji statistik menggunakan metode independent sample T test menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan bermakna waktu hancur (P<0,05) antara formula dengan metode kempa langsung dengan granulasi basah.
The American Red Cross in Great War-Era Europe, 1914-1922
Authors: Irwin Julia
Published: December 2017

All too often, histories of the Great War identify two key events—the United States’ declaration of war against the German Empire on April 6, 1917 and the subsequent arrival of the first U.S. troops in Europe that June—as the start of U.S. participation in the conflict. American involvement in the Great War, such narratives go on to suggest, was relatively short-lived; commencing in the spring of 1917, it culminated just two years later, with Woodrow Wilson’s attendance at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference and the return of American soldiers to the United States.
The American Hospital of Paris: A Case Study in American Philanthropy in 1914-1918
Authors: Crawford John
Published: December 2017

Recent archival research in France and the United States has cast new light on the extraordinary role played by the American Hospital of Paris during the First World War. It is now clear that the Hospital, from the very outset of the War, took on broad responsibility for a range of functions, including the transportation of and medical care for large numbers of wounded French soldiers, and raised private gifts in unprecedented amounts which were sufficient to cover all its costs.
« Deux fléaux : le Boche et la tuberculose ». La Commission Rockefeller et le développement du modèle philanthropique
Authors: Wimpee Rachel
Published: December 2017

Une affiche de 1918 appelle les Français à combattre «deux fléaux : le boche et la tuberculose ». Cette assimilation de la menace guerrière à celle de la maladie est une traduction d’un slogan américain qui joue avec les mots anglais « germ » (microbe) et « German » (Allemand).
Adjacent-segment disease after thoracic pedicle screw fixation
Authors: Agarwal Nitin , Heary Robert F. , Agarwal Prateek
Published: December 2017

OBJECTIVE

Pedicle screw fixation is a technique widely used to treat conditions ranging from spine deformity to fracture stabilization. Pedicle screws have been used traditionally in the lumbar spine; however, they are now being used with increasing frequency in the thoracic spine as a more favorable alternative to hooks, wires, or cables. Although safety concerns, such as the incidence of adjacent-segment disease (ASD) after cervical and lumbar fusions, have been reported, such issues in the thoracic spine have yet to be addressed thoroughly. Here, the authors review the literature on ASD after thoracic pedicle screw fixation and report their own experience specifically involving the use of pedicle screws in the thoracic spine.

METHODS

Select references from online databases, such as PubMed (provided by the US National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health), were used to survey the literature concerning ASD after thoracic pedicle screw fixation. To include the authors’ experience at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database was performed to determine the incidence of complications over a 13-year period in 123 consecutive adult patients who underwent thoracic pedicle screw fixation. Children, pregnant or lactating women, and prisoners were excluded from the review. By comparing preoperative and postoperative radiographic images, the occurrence of thoracic ASD and disease within the surgical construct was determined.

RESULTS

Definitive radiographic fusion was detected in 115 (93.5%) patients. Seven incidences of instrumentation failure and 8 lucencies surrounding the screws were observed. One patient was observed to have ASD of the thoracic spine. The mean follow-up duration was 50 months.

CONCLUSIONS

This long-term radiographic evaluation revealed the use of pedicle screws for thoracic fixation to be an effective stabilization modality. In particular, ASD seems to be less of a problem in the relatively immobile thoracic spine than in the more mobile cervical and lumbar spines.
Adaptive State Feedback—Theory and Application for Wind Turbine Control
Authors: Thapa Magar Kaman , Balas Mark , Frost Susan , Li Nailu
Published: December 2017

A class of adaptive disturbance tracking controllers (ADTCs) is augmented with disturbance and state estimation and adaptive state feedback, in which a controller and estimator, which are designed on the basis of a lower-order model, are used to control a higher-order nonlinear plant. The ADTC requires that the plant be almost strict positive real (ASPR) to ensure stability. In this paper, we show that the ASPR property of a plant is retained with the addition of disturbance and state estimation and state feedback, thereby ensuring the stability of the augmented system. The proposed adaptive controller with augmentation is presented in the context of maximum power extraction from a wind turbine in a low-wind-speed operation region. A simulation and comparative study on the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) 5 MW nonlinear wind turbine model with an existing baseline Proportional-Integral-Derivative(PID) controller shows that the proposed controller is more effective than the existing baseline PID controller.
The Black Star: Lived Paradoxes in the Poetry of Paul Celan
Authors: Lemberger Dorit
Published: December 2017

Celan’s poetry is deemed universal and experimental, and its main characteristic is to “explore possibilities of sense-making.” His poetry is also acknowledged to be the apex of Jewish post-Holocaust poetry, contending with existentialist questions such as the existence God in the Holocaust and the possibility of restoring Jewish identity. In this paper I will examine how Celan uses paradoxes in his poetry to create atheistic and skeptical expressions. The technique of paradox expresses the concurrent existence of two contradictory possibilities; the article will present three types of paradox typical of Celan’s poetry: (1) the affirmation and denial of the existence of God; (2) the mention of rituals from Jewish tradition, while voiding them of their conventional meaning; (3) the use of German, specifically, for the reconstitution of Jewish identity. My main argument is that paradox in Celan’s work creates a unique voice of atheism and skepticism, since it preserves the ideas that it rejects as a source for fashioning meaning. In order to explore how Celan constructs paradox, I will use Wittgenstein’s resolutions of the paradoxes that emerge from the use of language, and I will show how they illuminate Celan’s use of this technique. The article will examine three Wittgensteinian methods of resolving the paradoxes that Celan employs in his oeuvre: highlighting, containing, and dissolving.
