Inseguridad, precariedad e inestabilidad: retrato de la inserción laboral femenina || Insecurity, precariousness and instability: portrait of female employment
Authors: Rebollo-Quintela Nuria , Muñoz-Cantero Jesús-Miguel
Published: December 2017

Una de las principales consecuencias de la crisis mundial ha sido el aumento de las tasas de desempleo y la proliferación en la mayoría de los países del empleo precario, entendiendo este como incierto, imprevisible y que puede desentrañar un riesgo para el trabajador. Esta situación ha desencadenado una percepción negativa del mercado laboral ya que está asociada, en parte, a los episodios de empleo que las personas hayan tenido en su historia más reciente. La presente investigación pretende analizar la percepción del mercado laboral de una muestra 144 mujeres (98 que han accedió al mercado en el último año y 46 paradas de larga duración) a través de un análisis de contenido de entrevistas telefónicas semiestructuradas. Los resultados determinan que el acceso al empleo viene caracterizado por miedo a su pérdida, mayor precariedad laboral, aumento de los contratos temporales y de jornada a tiempo parcial, características aludidas en investigaciones precedentes, ya que reflejan el cambio de modelo económico resultante en parte, por la condición de flexibilidad en el mercado de trabajo.
Indicadores precoces da dislexia de desenvolvimento: um estudo longitudinal || Early indicators of dyslexia: a longitudinal study

Published: December 2017

A dislexia do desenvolvimento é frequentemente diagnosticada quando os problemas na aprendizagem da leitura já afetaram negativamente outras áreas académicas e até o bem-estar emocional. A pesquisa internacional aponta para a existência de alguns preditores desta perturbação da aprendizagem, permitindo uma intervenção atempada e preventiva. No entanto, as diferenças relativas ao código ortográfico do Português Europeu não nos permitem tirar ilações de estudos realizados noutros contextos linguísticos. Com este problema em mente, desenvolvemos um estudo longitudinal que pretende destacar os preditores da dislexia em crianças portuguesas. A investigação seguiu um plano longitudinal ao longo de três anos e os resultados obtidos junto de uma amostra de 200 crianças permitem identificar a existência de poder preditivo em duas variáveis: no conhecimento que a criança tem do nome das letras e no seu desempenho em tarefas de fluência verbal, mostrando a influência que os fatores relativos às dificuldades na aquisição do princípio alfabético e no acesso ao léxico terão na manifestação posterior de problemas na aquisição da leitura.

Objetivou-se avaliar em laboratório, o efeito de subdoses de glyphosate sobre o processo germinativo e o desenvolvimento de plântulas de cultivares convencionais de milho. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 2 x 6, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram da interação de dois genótipos convencionais de milho (Sintético UEL e AG 9010 PRO) submetidas a seis subdoses de glyphosate (0; 3,5; 7,0; 10,5; 14,0 e 17,5 g e.a ha-1). As avaliações consistiram da germinação de sementes (plântulas normais, anormais e sementes mortas), comprimento e massa seca de plântulas (parte aérea, raiz e total). O desempenho germinativo e o crescimento inicial das plântulas de milho são alterados pelas subdoses de glyphosate. Existe efeito de hormese para germinação e massa seca de parte aérea nas subdoses de 0,084 e 7 g e.a ha-1 respectivamente para o genótipo AG9010 e para massa seca da parte aérea na subdose de 8,16 g e.a ha-1 para o genótipo Sintético UEL. O incremento das subdoses de glyphosate favorece a anormalidade de plântulas e a mortalidade de sementes, além de diminuir o comprimento e a massa seca das radículas e de plântulas.

High prolificacy, stay green, and a reduced interval between male and female flowering are among the traits most used for indirect selection for drought tolerance. The objective of this research was to evaluate five maize lines from the maize breeding program of the company Geneseeds Recursos Genéticos Ltda, as drought tolerance, grown at four plant population, 40, 60, 80 and 100 thousand plants ha-1. In these conditions, the following characters evaluated indirectly related to drought tolerance: prolificacy, stay green and interval between female and male flowering, as related to drought tolerance. We also evaluated the physiological quality of seeds and expression of the enzymes alpha amylase, esterase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, alcohol dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, and, heat resistant proteins. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design in a split plot layout. There were differences between the lines for all traits analyzed. Lines 63, 64 and 91 showed the greatest yields and prolificacy, and lines 63, 64, 54 and 91 had the lowest intervals between male and female flowering. There was no influence of plant population on the physiological quality of maize seeds, and the highest values of germination and seed vigor were observed in lines 64, 44 and 91. Lines 63, 64 and 91 are considered as promising for drought tolerance.

RESUMO Este artigo procura avançar na tentativa de demonstrar como a afirmação de que a inter-net inauguraria uma nova era para a humanidade é a mais recente expressão do feti-chismo da tecnologia. Aponta a mistificação da propalada “horizontalidade”, que enco-bre as relações de poder e escancara as portas para a disseminação das “fake news”, ins-taurando um ambiente de absoluta insegurança informativa. Sustenta que hiperinforma-ção, que leva ao aprofundamento da alienação pelo excesso de oferta, é essencial para a manutenção do sistema. Conclui que a tendência de formação de “bolhas” favorece a constituição de comunidades seguras de si e infensas ao contraditório, o que é o avesso de qualquer perspectiva democrática.Palavras-chave: Hiperinformação; Alienação; Fetichismo; Tecnologia; Redes Sociais.ABSTRACT This article seeks to demonstrate how the statement that the internet would inaugurate a new era for humanity is the latest expression of technological fetishism. It points to the mystification of the so-called “horizontality” which hides power relations and opens the door to the dissemination of “fake news”, creating an environment of absolute informational insecurity. It argues that hyperinformation, which leads to the deepening of alienation by oversupply, is essential for the maintenance of the system. It concludes that the tendency to form “bubbles” favours the constitution of communities that are self-assured and closed to conterarguments, which is the opposite of any democratic perspective.Keywords: Hyperinformation; Alienation; Fetishism; Technology; Social Network.
The Ozobot and education of programming
Authors: Fojtik Rostislav
Published: December 2017

This paper aims to show the possibilities of teaching programming using the Ozobot. The survey shows that teachers skip teaching programming. Teachers often consider teaching programming unnecessary and schools would not be them into thematic plans ever marshaled. This situation is often attributed to the fact that many teachers do not know the appropriate procedures and methodology for teaching the basics of programming and algorithms. Teachers at some schools have already started to use appropriate applications such as Scratch, Logo, code.org and others. For teaching, it is advisable to use only software tools but also the hardware. We used a case study and we verified the teaching of programming a robot Ozobot. It turns out that Ozobot is not only suitable for small children, but also for older pupils. Keywords: Case study; mobile technologies; programming; a questionnaire; an observation; the virtual world

University Housing Development: A PPP Approach
Authors: Blair Bruce L. , Williams Adam M.
Published: December 2017

Growth and financial constraint continue to hinder development in a multitude of areas in the public sector. Higher education has joined the growing list of public sector organizations turning toward the private sector for innovative solutions to the negative externalities of growth. On April 14, 2014, the University System of Georgia posted a request for qualified contractors for a first of its kind public–private partnership. Wishing to move away from its current long-term asset financing plan that utilized public–private ventures, and to move much of the bonded debt, the university system issued a call for contractors for the construction of campus housing on nine system-member institutions across the state of Georgia. In an effort to evaluate the importance of this contractual arrangement, a thematic analysis of publicly available contract documents is analyzed. We find that the university system’s values associated with the project are best described as risk-averse behavior.

The Use Of Cronbach Alpha Reliability Estimate In Research Among Students In Public Universities In Ghana.
Authors: Quansah Frank
Published: December 2017

This study examines the use of Cronbach alpha reliability estimate in research among university students in Ghana. An exploratory research design was employed in the study. University students’ (both undergraduate and post-graduate) research works were selected from three public universities in Ghana. With the use of inclusion criteria, purposive sampling technique was used to sample 100 research works conducted by students. The sampled research works were examined to evaluate how the students used Cronbach alpha reliability estimate. It was revealed that 91% of the works properly satisfied the conditions for the use of Cronbach alpha. However, 81% of the students calculated for the alpha for multiple constructs which suggests that alpha was treated as a measure of multidimensionality instead of internal consistency. It is recommended that applied courses in research and statistics should be mounted in the various public universities in Ghana. Workshops and seminars should also be organized for both students and lecturers on the use of Cronbach alpha reliability estimate.

Na perspectiva da teoria da ecologia organizacional as organizações que melhor sobrevivem aos imperativos ambientais são aquelas que reproduzem estruturas consideradas legítimas, sendo, portanto, selecionadas pelo conjunto de valores referentes à sua aceitação social. Este artigo tem o objetivo de esboçar um panorama da produção científica sobre ecologia organizacional no período de 2006 a 2016. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva-exploratória, com a utilização da técnica bibliométrica, realizada por meio de análise de citação, palavras-chave, métodos empregados, cronologia da produção e criação de redes de colaboração. Os resultados indicam que as publicações sobre o tema crescem a cada ano com a predominância dos estudos nos Estados Unidos e Europa, não havendo produção relevante em língua portuguesa. Percebe-se, também, que o tema ecologia organizacional está presente nas diversas áreas do conhecimento, predominantemente com foco no meio empresarial, como organizações religiosas, políticas, criminais e cuidados da saúde.

Published: December 2017

Background: In cost-effectiveness analyses, Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALY) remains one of the most widely used health effect measure. Among the various methods of estimating utility values, time trade-off (TTO) has traditionally been one of the dominant methods for eliciting utilities, however it has been presenting several practical impediments to provide a high and fast collecting process.Objective: To test a method of collecting TTO-derived utilities using a platform called Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk) that provides reliable, fast and inexpensive data.Methods: A pre-programmed interactive questionnaire was design to simulate a live TTO interview using Qualtrics. To validate the results members of the Research on Research (RoR) Group not aware of the research agreed to answer the same questions on a videoconference live interview. We determined feasibility through assessment quality and cost/benefit relation indicators. In addition, this paper followed the framework for reproducible research reports proposed by our group.Results: Results: Our results showed that the MTurk population is representative of the US population (based on 2012 census) and there were no differences on the willingness to live when comparing the MTurk sample and the live interview sample, and also no differences of the WTL when comparing the different questionnaire designs developed. Preference results showed differences only for race (between others and African-Americans, and other and white), and overall median values of 0.83 (Q1=0.83;Q3=0.90).Conclusions: MTurk is a reliable web place to collect large sample using the TTO method, and should be used to collect utility data for CEA.

Authors: Lymarenko Yuliia , Tatievskyi Dmitry
Published: December 2017

In the course of studies on the problem of restoring hands relief, using the de Bruijn structured illumination, methods of solving this problem are proposed. This is a method of simple quantitative detection of Hough segments on the skin of the hand, a method of qualitative visual evaluation of the effectiveness of the color palette using the dominant color, and a method of the weight coefficients of the components of the color palette.

The proposed methods make it possible to quantitatively determine the optimal choice of the color scheme for generating the de Bruijn bands when illumination of the hand, to restore its relief.

The work describes the stages of this study, led from visual observation to a full quantitative calculation of the quality of calibration illuminations, with the possibility of their optimal choice.

In the course of experiments and observations, the requirements for the technical support of research were developed to achieve the best quality of the images of the hands. Also, the paper presents a high-speed de Bruijn sequence generating algorithm using Lyndon's words, which excludes the search for Euler chains or Hamiltonian cycles, for various kinds of de Bruijn graphs. With its help, the generation of structured light patterns with various color schemes was carried out, with the purpose of further analysis of their use in 3D reconstruction systems of hands.

Published: December 2017

The aim is to consider the development of different elements of European insurance market infrastructure. The next tasks of the study were done: to generalize main indicators of the development of European insurance market from 2012 to 2016; to characterize elements of European insurance market infrastructure and define their collaboration with elements of the world insurance market infrastructure. Methodology. Such methods were used to do an abovementioned tasks: information collection about elements of European insurance market infrastructure; analysis of tendencies of the main indicators of the development of European insurance market from 2012 to 2016; generalization to characterize the elements of European insurance market infrastructure, define their collaboration with the elements of the world insurance market infrastructure and make conclusions. Results. Main indicators of the de-velopment of European insurance market were increasing from 2012 to 2014 and decreasing from 2015 to 2016. Total premium volume as a share in GDP of Europe (insurance penetration) did not exceed 7% from 2012 to 2016 and as a share in the world GDP declined from 2.1% in 2014 to 1.95% in 2016. It was connected with results of the United Kingdom referendum on the European Union membership. The development of European insurance market is also under the influence of activity of elements of insurance market infrastructure such as Actuarial Association of Europe (AAE), Association of Mutual Insurers and Insurance Cooperatives in Europe (AMICE), European Financial Management Association (EFMA), European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), European Federation of Insurance Intermediaries (BIPAR), European insurance and reinsurance federation (Insurance Europe), Geneva Association, Insurance Institute of London (IIL).

MICROBIOLOGICAL SPECTRE OF TERTIARY PERITONITIS AS A COMPONENT OF ITS DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT
Authors: Fomin Petro , Matviychuk Oleh , Korniychuk Olena
Published: December 2017

The aim of the research was to investigate the microbial spectre of tertiary peritonits (TP) and its antibiotic resistance as the way to improve the diagnostics and treatment of TP.

Materials and methods. Prospective research enrolled 109 patients with secondary peritonitis. Tertiary peritonitis developed in 18,3 % of cases. Samples of peritoneal exudate had been drawn upon index operation, relaparotomy and on the day of diagnosis of TP. Blood sampling was performed in patients with persistent fever, impaired consciousness, prolonged (>4 days) discharge from drainage tubes and on the 1st day of diagnosis of TP. Antibacterial susceptibility was evaluated using Hinton-Müller media.

Results and discussion. Patients were divided into 2 groups: with secondary peritonitis (89) and with TP (20). In TP group, cultivation of 76,2 % of primary specimens resulted in replantable and identifiable growth, presenting a shift towards Gram-negative flora and higher incidence of Candida albicans. Following the development of TP, hemocultures were positive in 15,1 %, presented mainly by Proteus spp. and non-albicans Candida spp. Second-group carbapenems, tigecycline and piperacillin-tazobactam had shown the highest activity in pathogens of TP. Caspofungin proved to be the most potent antifungal agent, especially towards non-albicans Candida spp. Antibiotic resistance in TP group was marked in 63,8 %.

Conclusions. Tertiary peritonitis is one of the most severe forms of abdominal sepsis with highest mortality. Causing pathogenic flora in case of TP is mainly Gram-negative and coccal with high rates of antibiotic resistance both in vitro and in vivo. Fungi, presented predominantly by Candida non-albicans substrains, show an increasing content in peritoneal exudate and major effect upon mortality in TP. In case of TP, a significant percent of peritoneal specimens do not provide any culture growth despite of observing stringent sampling, transportation and cultivation rules. Antimicrobial therapy of TP can never be standardized and should always be thoroughly based upon regular and proper peritoneal and blood sampling.
INVESTIGATION OF THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF A SINGLE PENDULUM UNDER THE ACTION OF THE FOLLOWER FORCE
Authors: Bambura Olha , Rezydent Oleksii
Published: December 2017

One of the main constructive elements of roadmakers, railway bridge supports and structures is a compressed rod, to the end of which a follower force is applied. Recently, the most frequently used model of such rod in the form of an inverted mathematical pendulum under the influence of an asymmetric follower force. Asymmetry is due to the simultaneous presence of both angular and linear eccentricities. The work is devoted to the study of vertical and non-vertical states of equilibrium of a single pendulum. The reduced mathematical model of a single inverted mathematical pendulum is generalized, since it takes into account both the angular eccentricity and the linear eccentricity of the follower force. In addition, the coefficients of influence allow to consider all types of elastic elements (rigid, soft or linear). In this case, both elements can have characteristics of the same type or of different types. For direct integration of the differential equation of the pendulum motion, and also the decoupling of the corresponding Cauchy problem, the authors use the method of extending the parameter of the outstanding Japanese scientist Y.A. Shinohara. Varying of the angular eccentricity of the follower force at zero linear eccentricity results in the inverted pendulum having one or three non-vertical equilibrium positions. The type of characteristics of the elastic elements affects the maximum possible deviation from the vertical, at which the pendulum will be in a state of equilibrium. Analysis of the results of computer simulation shows that the orientation of the follower force for fixed values of other parameters of the pendulum has a significant effect on the configuration of the equilibrium curve
THE SYNTHESIS OF STEERING RULES FOR STABILIZING ROAD TRAIN REVERSE MOTION TO SOLVE THE TASK OF REACHING A SET GOAL
Authors: Tatievskyi Dmitry
Published: December 2017

Mathematical models of a road train are developed to study both its direct and reverse motion. The laws for the automatic steering system turning vehicle steering wheels to achieve the required trailer direction when moving reverse are synthesized. A road train with a hitching unit on the tractor truck rear axle directly schematic constructions (an “on-axle hitching” model) are used. The kind of kinematic mathematic model for describing a road train moving reverse at low speeds without wheels side slipping is satisfactory. In this condition its motion is defined by geometry only independent from masses, momentums and friction forces. The steering laws are synthesized with the help of alpha-stabilizing approach, according to Lyapunov’s direct method using fuzzy logics mathematical tool and a solution method depending on the Riccati equation state (SDRE). The task of reaching a set goal has been solved by calculating the folding angle when the target belongs to the calculated path for the case of curvilinear motion and via calculating the matching tractor truck and trailer orientation angles for direct motion. The received results have been rendered as phase portraits in the Maple environment and meshes in Meshlab, simulated in Unity 3D and with a robotic installation getting control information generated automatically
Underground taming of floods for irrigation (UTFI) in the river basins of South Asia: institutionalising approaches and policies for sustainable water management and livelihood enhancement
Authors: Reddy V. Ratna , Pavelic Paul , Hanjra Munir A.
Published: December 2017

Underground taming of floods for irrigation (UTFI) is a new approach for mitigating flood impacts through targeted floodwater storage in depleted aquifers for irrigating crops in the dry season. UTFI not only fosters the much-desired conjunctive use and management of water resources but also provides the environmental services that are of high socioeconomic value. UTFI interventions are individually established at the local scale (e.g. village pond, check dam) but to achieve more substantial positive benefits at the scale of meso watersheds (10 s of km2) or sub-basins (100–1,000 s of km2) in the flood-prone river basins requires area-based implementation. Given the nature and scale required, UTFI needs to be managed at the community level with the help of appropriate institutional arrangements taking into account both the upstream and downstream locations. This paper reviews the existing institutional approaches and proposes an institutional framework that can help to mainstream UTFI management in the context of South Asia. The proposed model is centred on the existing formal institutions and also integrates non-market (participatory) and market (payments for environmental services) instruments that can provide win–win strategies for water resource management to downstream and upstream communities.

A partir de la experiencia internacional en relación a las organizaciones de cuenca, se plantea un marco analítico para analizar la implementación de la Gestión Integrada de los Recursos Hídricos en los consejos de cuenca. Tres son las dimensiones clave que guían el estudio: la estructura que conforma a los consejos de cuenca, la dinámica interna de funcionamiento que llevan a cabo y los resultados brindados en la resolución de problemas y conflictos. Los resultados revelan limitaciones estructurales y operativas en los dos consejos de cuenca, lo que reduce su impacto para poner en práctica los principios de la Gestión Integrada de los Recursos Hídricos.
Spontaneous cerebellar activity and its role in neurotoxicity
Authors: Martac Ljiljana , Stojadinovic Gordana , Petkovic Branka
Published: December 2017

Introduction. In performed experiments, the parietal electrocortical activity
of the cerebral cortex and the activity of the cerebellar cortex were
simultaneously recorded. The main purpose was to compare their spontaneous
activity, as the recording was conducted during anesthesia. Material and
Methods. We used 2-3 months old rats weighing 200 - 350 g. Two groups of rats
with same characteristics were made. The first group of 15 rats (control
group) was recorded under anesthesia and there was a change in spectral power
in accordance with frequency ranges. The second group of 30 rats was recorded
under the same experimental conditions, but the rats were treated
intraperitoneally by aluminium chloride hexahydrate solution or with 1.5%
solution of aluminium chloride hexahydrate per os. Discussion. Changes in
spontaneous activity of the cerebellum during aluminium intoxication were
compared with control values. It was shown that lesion and neurotoxicity
during stable anesthesia led to desynchronization of the cerebellar activity.
This is described by the change in fractal dimension of cerebellar
electrocortical activity. The assumption is that the inhibition caused by
anesthetic is compensated during aluminium intoxication. Conclusion. The
cerebellum plays a role in compensation through changes in spontaneous
activity. This response involves an increase in the value of fractal
dimension of cerebellar electrocortical activity which is reduced in
neurotoxicity.
ASCA and XMM-Newton observations of the galactic supernova remnant G311.5−0.3

Published: December 2017

We present an analysis of X-ray observations made with ASCA and XMM-Newton of
the Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G311.5?0.3. Prior infrared and radio
observations of this SNR have revealed a shell-like morphology at both
wavelengths. The spectral index of the radio emission is consistent with
synchrotron emission, while the infrared colors are consistent with emission
from shocked molecular hydrogen. Also previous CO observations have
indicated an interaction between G311.5?0.3 and an adjacent molecular cloud.
Our previous analysis of the pointed ASCA observation made of this SNR
detected X-ray emission from the source for the first time but lacked the
sensitivity and the angular resolution to rigorously investigate its X-ray
properties. We have analyzed an archival XMM-Newton observation that
included G311.5?0.3 in the field of view: this is the first time that
XMM-Newton data has been used to probe the X-ray properties of this SNR. The
XMM-Newton observation confirms that the X-ray emission from G311.5?0.3 is
centrally concentrated and supports the classification of this source as a
mixed-morphology SNR. In addition, our joint fitting of extracted ASCA and
XMM-Newton spectra favor a thermal origin for the X-ray emission over a
non-thermal origin. The spectral fitting parameters for our TBABS?APEC fit
to the extracted spectra are NH = 4.63+1.87 ?0.85?1022 cm ?2 and kT =
0.68+0.20?0.24 keV. From these fit parameters, we derive the following
values for physical parameters of the SNR: ne = 0.20 cm ?3, np = 0.17 cm ?3,
MX = 21.4 M? and P/k = 3.18?106 K cm ?3.

Transición en los regionalismos sudamericanos: dinámicas domésticas y factores globales
Authors: Clemente Batalla Isabel
Published: December 2017

Este artículo analiza la transición en los regionalismos sudamericanos en una fase marcada por cambios políticos en la región y en el sistema global. El análisis se fundamenta en la discusión teórica sobre regionalismos y en aportes de la investigación empírica. La primera sección considera la formación del concepto de Sudamérica como unidad espacial diferenciada. Los resultados de este estudio establecen que UNASUR atraviesa una fase de estancamiento institucional y pérdida de capacidades de ejecución de su misión como foro de cooperación intra-regional, concertación política y solución de conflictos regionales sudamericanos. En cambio, en el nivel subregional, la coordinación de políticas orientada hacia la convergencia de los dos bloques sub-regionales mayores, Mercosur y Alianza del Pacífico, en el breve período que examina este trabajo revela avances y planeación realista pero el logro de sus objetivos de convergencia están condicionados a la capacidad de construir consenso entre modelos de integración diferentes.

57-year-old woman was recruited for a research study of muscle activation in persons with low back pain. She described a progressive worsening of left lower lumbar pain, which began 5 years prior without any precipitating incident, and intermittent pain at the left gluteal fold (diagnosed as a proximal hamstring tear 2 years prior). Ultrasound revealed marked anterior displacement of the L3-4 and L4-5 facet joints. The subject was recommended for a radiograph using a lateral recumbent view, which demonstrated a grade II spondylolisthesis.

Published: December 2017

A Pneumonia Associada à Ventilação Mecânica (PAVM) é considerada a segunda infecção mais frequente nas UTIs Americanas e a mais frequentes na Europa. Estudos nacionais demonstram que a PAVM é considerada uma das maiores infecções hospitalares que resultam em altos índices de internações prolongadas. A Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia define a PAVM como aquela que ocorre após 48h a instalação de ventilação mecânica. Um estudo realizado pelo DATASUS em 99 hospitais brasileiros demonstra que 50% dos pacientes em ventilação mecânica desenvolveram PAVM. Contudo, torna-se fundamental elaborar, implementar e discutir ações de prevenção da PAVM. Este trabalho teve como objetivo destacar a importância da implementação das medidas de prevenção e controle da pneumonia associada à ventilação mecânica em uma unidade de terapia intensiva. Foi adotada como metodologia a pesquisa exploratória, descritiva e observacional com abordagem quantitativa, tal pesquisa foi desenvolvida na UTI de um hospital de grande porte no município de Campos dos Goytacazes RJ, no período de setembro a dezembro/2015, e compuseram a amostra 51 pacientes que estavam em uso de prótese ventilatória. Conclui-se que na UTI do hospital referido foi obtido um percentual significativo de pacientes diagnosticados com PAVM referente a 27,4%. Pode-se ressaltar ainda a conformidade de geral das medidas de controle e prevenção com 33,3% e a não conformidade geral foi 66,6%. Este cenário demonstrou que as medidas foram realizadas de forma insatisfatória, ficando evidente baixa adesão dos profissionais a essas medidas que são essenciais para minimizar a incidência de PAVM.
Conversaciones sobre el espacio primeras aproximaciones a la ciudad de Cúcuta, Colombia, desde sus habitantes
Authors: Pérez Rodríguez Adriana Marcela
Published: December 2017

El artículo indaga sobre los procesos de constitución subjetiva y del espacio social en relación con la creación de diferencias de género y clase. Estos procesos ocurren en constante referencia a unas representaciones de feminidad y masculinidad identificadas en Cúcuta, Norte de Santander: los «traquetos», «venezolanos» y «travestis», entre otras, en las que el cuerpo juega un papel central en su reconocimiento. Se evaluaron estos procesos constitutivos a partir de las relaciones de género y clase, mediadas por el lenguaje, los espacios socializantes, los grupos de pares. La población con la que se trabajó consistió en veinte estudiantes de décimo grado de dos colegios de la ciudad de Cúcuta –el Colegio Santo Ángel y el Colegio San José–, con los que se elaboraron entrevistas grupales en el trascurso del año 2014. Mi experiencia de vida consignada en el diario de campo, fue analizada de la misma manera en esta investigación.

ETNOMATEMATIKA: APLIKASI BANGUN DATAR SEGIEMPAT PADA CANDI MUARO JAMBI
Authors: Hardiarti Sylviyani
Published: December 2017

Matematika dan budaya adalah dua hal yang berkaitan erat. Tapi terkadang matematika dilihat sebagai sesuatu yang tidak terkoneksi dengan kehidupan sehari-hari. Padahal dalam mengajarkan matematika formal (matematika sekolah), guru sebaiknya memulai dengan menggali pengetahuan matematika informal yang telah diperoleh siswa dari kehidupan masyarakat di sekitar tempat tinggalnya. Lingkungan dapat menjadi sumber masalah matematika dalam kehidupan nyata. Lingkungan tersebut salah satunya berupa budaya. Matematika dalam budaya dikenal dengan istilah etnomatematika. Salah satu objek etnomatematika adalah artefak. Setiap daerah tentunya mempunyai budaya masing-masing, termasuk artefak berupa bangunan bersejarah yang menjadi ciri khas daerah tersebut. Candi Muaro Jambi merupakan salah satu bangunan bersejarah di Provinsi Jambi. Tujuan dari penelitian eksploratif dengan pendekatan etnografi ini adalah untuk menggali dan mengeksplorasi konsep matematika apa saja yang ada pada candi Muaro Jambi yang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai sumber belajar matematika serta sebagai upaya untuk mengembangkan etnomatematika sebagai basis pembelajaran matematika. Melalui eksplorasi, dokumentasi, studi literatur dan observasi di lingkungan candi Muaro Jambi, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat konsep bangun datar segiempat pada beberapa struktur candi Muaro Jambi. Struktur tersebut berbentuk persegi, persegi panjang, jajargenjang, trapesium, dan segiempat tidak beraturan. Pembelajaran matematika menggunakan objek etnomatematika dapat memperkaya aplikasi matematika yang ada di sekitar siswa serta dapat memfasilitasi siswa memahami matematika yang bersifat abstrak dengan menggunakan objek etnomatematika yang konkret.Kata Kunci: etnomatematika, bangun datar segiempat, candi.

Namun, pembelajaran berbasis masalah memiliki kelemahan yaitu kurang cocok untuk siswa dengan kemampuan rendah dan sedang. Selain itu pembelajaran barbasis masalah juga kurang meiningkatkan motivasi. Pada siswa sekolah berlevel sedang dan rendah, dibutuhkan alat atau cara yang apat menjembatani antara kondisi siswa disekolah level sedang dan rendah dengan pembelajaran berbasis masalah. Peneliti mencoba mengajukan solusi yaitu menyertakan pembelajaran berbasis masalah dengan green’s motivational strategies. Adapun tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis proses berpikir kritis yang siswa peroleh setelah pembelajaran berbasis masalah dengan green’s motivational strategies. Adapun metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah kualitatif. Siswa dengan kemampuan awal  rendah menguasai 5 indikator berpikir kritis sedangkan siswa dengan kemampuan awal sedang menguasai 6 indikator kemampuan berpikir kritis. Selain kemampuan awal siswa yang mengalami perubahan menjadi lebih baik, siswa juga merasa lebih nyaman dan lebih percaya diri.
