Authors: Roder Marcus Paulo , Richter Vieira Kirstin Elise
Published: April 2021

O artigo sustenta a existência de um habitat possível e pertinente para a celebração de negócios jurídicos processuais (especialmente os ditos atípicos e permitidos a partir da cláusula aberta do art. 190 do Código de Processo Civil de 2015): os contratos empresariais, em razão das suas características e peculiaridades. Em seguida, valendo-se dos pressupostos da Análise Econômica do Direito, apresentam-se argumentos pelos quais as partes contratantes, inseridas no contexto específico de contratos empresariais, podem se valer dos negócios jurídicos processuais com o objetivo de racionalização do processo, de aumento da eficiência processual e, consequentemente, de redução de custos de transação.

Um survey sobre as fricções financeiras em modelos DSGE
Authors: Wendler Suelen Aparecida
Published: April 2021

O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar um survey da pesquisa sobre modelagem de fricções financeiras em modelos de equilíbrio geral dinâmico estocástico (DSGE). Pois, dada a crise financeira mundial de 2008, os pesquisadores perceberam que os modelos propostos até aquele momento não eram capazes de apresentar uma resposta adequada para as origens e evolução daquela crise, e o motivo estaria no fato desta modelagem não incluir interação do mercado financeiro com o resto da economia. Então, na última década muito esforço acadêmico foi usado para analisar a condução de políticas monetárias dos bancos centrais em um ambiente com fricções financeiras e o papel das medidas macroprudenciais. Deste modo conclui-se que as fricções financeiras explicam grande parte das variações ocorridas no produto frente a demais variáveis macroeconômicas, fazendo com que alterações  nas  condições  financeiras  decorrentes do  aumento  ou  diminuição dos spreads de crédito influenciem a relação  de equilíbrio entre a taxa básica de juros e demanda  agregada, bem como a  relação entre atividade econômica e inflação.
The Olympic Games and the Problems of Legacy: The London Stadium Story
Authors: Whannel Garry
Published: April 2021

The main stadium is the most high-profile part of any Olympic legacy plan. The London stadium has an end user, West Ham United Football Club. The process resulted in extra capital expenditure from public sources and a commitment to extensive annual expenses. The private tenant, by contrast, benefits from a remarkable deal that increases their income, reduces their expenditure, and enables them to make a capital gain from disposal of their previous ground. As this article reveals, there were failures in public policy and legacy planning from the start of the process. A flawed model, which was not economically viable, was adopted. Subsequent decision-making was handicapped by the complexity of governance, and the public interest was undermined. By contrast the eventual private stakeholder, West Ham United Football Club, exploited the second round of bidding brilliantly, recognizing there was a desperate landlord and only one possible tenant. This article traces the story and offers pointers for future Olympic Game host cities.

The Manifestations and Characteristics of School Bullying in China: An Analysis Based on 50 Typical Cases Reported on the Internet
Authors: Li Ruohan , Gao Na
Published: April 2021

This is a case study of school bullying in China. There are two main types of school bullying: mental bullying and physical bullying which is the main form of school bullying in China. It is worth noting that the frequency of sexual bullying and derivative behaviors of school bullying are in increasing now. School bullying is often a repetitive and long-term behavior and often committed by multiple people. The study shows that high school is the main place of school bullying in China and the frictions of daily life is the main cause of school bullying. The study also shows that, compared with the opposite sex, bullying behaviors between the same sex occur more frequently, and girl students are more likely to be the victims of school bullying.

Dry ground corn kernels are widely used as sources of energy readily available for microbial synthesis in the rumen. The objective of the present study was to measure the effect of particle size on the storage length of rehydrated and ensiled corn grain. Commercial corn was milled in 2-, 4-, 6-, 8-, and 10-mm sieves, rehydrated until reaching 65% DM, and ensiled for 14, 28, and 56 days, in a completely randomized design with a 5 x 3 factorial arrangement, with six replications per treatment. PVC mini-silos were used, with dimensions of 25 cm height x 10 cm of diameter. The variables DM, MM, CP, NDF, ADF, pH, molds and yeasts count, fermentative losses, in vitro degradability and aerobic stability were subjected to analysis of variance. The Tukey test was used to compare means. LAB counts was subjected to Wilcoxon's non-parametric test, considering significance at p < 0.05. Rehydrated corn silages with smaller particles (2 and 4 mm) showed higher LAB and mold counts, higher levels of CP and EE and higher density at opening silos than that of coarser particles. However, they showed lower percentages of DM, and were susceptible to microbial attack and faster temperature increases than were coarse particles during the chosen storage times. Silage subjected to 56 days of fermentation showed lower contents of NDF, ADF and CP, lower gas losses and lower pH values in aerobiosis, and increased levels of soluble protein (A + B1 fractions), losses by effluents, number of hours to reach maximum temperature, and time to break aerobic stability. Coarse-grind silages subjected to 56 days of storage showed better chemical composition, lower LAB and mold counts, and less susceptibility to microbial degradation when exposed to air.

Published: April 2021

In present days, the growing number of people suffering from cancer has been a major cause for concern worldwide. Glioblastoma in particular, are primary tumors in glial cells located in the central nervous system. Because of this sensitive location, mathematical models have been studied and developed as alternative tools for analyzing tumor growth rates, assisting on the decision-making process for treatment dosage, without exposing the patient’s life. This paper presents two time series models to estimate the growth rate of glioblastoma in response to ionizing radiotherapy treatment. The results obtained indicate that the proposed time series methods attain predictions with a Mean Absolute Percentual Error (MAPE) of approximately 1% to 4%, and simulations show that the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) method surpasses the Holt method based on the Mean Square Error (MSE) and MAPE values obtained. Furthermore, the results show that the time series method is applicable to data from two different mathematical models for glioblastoma growth.

Authors: Hadley Christopher , Atlee Thomas R. , Chalmers Peter N. , Bassora Rocco , Bishop Meghan E. , Romeo Anthony A. , Erickson Brandon J.
Published: April 2021

Introduction:

There has been recent interest in throwing from flat-ground versus the mound regarding stress on the elbow. Typical throwing progression programs begin with flat-ground work and progress to mound work.

Methods:

All baseball pitchers of ages 10 to 17 years who completed a 15-week pitching mechanics and velocity-training program were included. Players' pitch velocity was tested at four time points during training. Average velocity and maximum velocity of pitches from flat-ground were compared with those of mound, and change in velocity between testing sessions was also compared.

Results:

Thirty-six male pitchers (average age: 14.4 ± 1.6 years) were included. Fastball velocity increased by an average of 5.2 mph (95% confidence intervals 2.0 to 8.8 mph) at the end of the training program. When change in average and maximum velocity was compared between the four testing sessions, the most notable increase in velocity occurred between the third and fourth testing sessions. Both sessions were thrown from the mound.

Conclusion:

The 15-week baseball pitcher-training program markedly improved pitching velocity. Throwing from a mound compared with flat-ground resulted in the largest velocity increase. Therefore, when attempting to increase a pitcher's velocity, throwing from the mound should be an integral part of any velocity program.
Charter School Closure in Ohio’s Largest Urban Districts: The Effects of Management Organizations, Enrollment Characteristics and Community Demographics on Closure Risk
Authors: Gilblom Elizabeth A. , Sang Hilla I.
Published: April 2021

This study builds on previous research investigating management organizations (MOs), charter school locations, and closure by examining the effects of MO type (EMO, CMO and freestanding schools), racial enrollment, student achievement, and the community characteristics surrounding each charter school in Ohio’s eight largest counties with the largest urban school districts on the likelihood of closure between 2009 and 2018. We conducted a discrete-time survival analysis using life tables and binary logistic regression. Findings indicated that freestanding charter schools experience higher risks of closure than EMO and CMO managed charter schools in those counties. Although they are more likely to close, freestanding schools have higher student achievement in math and reading. Higher math proficiency reduces the likelihood of closure by 2.8%. However, community and enrollment characteristics are not statistically significant predictors of closure.
The COVID-19 Period: A Crisis for on-Site Learning or an Opportunity for Optimal Distance Learning? Examination of Student Attitudes
Authors: Ben-Amram Miri , Davidovitch Nitza
Published: April 2021

This study, which explores student attitudes to online learning, is based on a psychoanalytic theory (Existence-relatedness-growth, ERG) on relatedness and growth, developed by American psychologist Clayton Alderfer. The purpose of the study was to examine whether online learning is merely a short-term temporary solution necessitated by the COVID-19 crisis, or will it enable a transformation of teaching and learning patterns in educational systems in the post-COVID era? What is students’ personal preference regarding online learning after having inadvertently experienced it? What dimension of online teaching was meaningful for them: social presence, instructional-cognitive presence, emotional-personal presence? The research population consisted of 306 students, with a mean age of 15.5. Only 85% of the students who participated in the study had technological resources for online learning at home. About 41% of the students preferred lessons that combine online teaching with frontal teaching in the classroom. In addition, the dimensions of online teaching reported by students as meaningful were, in descending order, social presence (M = 3.54), emotional-personal presence (M = 2.96), and instructional-cognitive presence (M = 2.73). The research findings might have an effect on policy makers in education with regard to maintaining an “innovative pedagogy” aimed at shaping students’ image in order to prepare them for the new post-COVID era. In this period of global crisis, online learning afforded students innovative learning, where students enhanced their awareness of the significance of social presence, which was more meaningful than the dimension of instructional-cognitive presence. The significance of interpersonal interaction in teaching and learning received support, more so than ever before.
Good Governance and Economic Growth in South European Countries
Authors: Mitsi Dimitra
Published: April 2021

Economic growth is a prerequisite for economic development. However, there is no “recipe” for countries to create an environment of prosperity and to achieve high rates of economic growth. Many researchers have examined the drivers of economic growth and find that economic growth depends on many economic and institutional variables. In this context, the main objective of this paper is to examine the role of good governance on economic growth in piicgs countries (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Cyprus, Greece, and Spain). The database was collected from many sources and the empirical analysis is based on a 2SLS (two-stage least squares) technique. In our empirical results, we find that trade openness, gross capital formation, inflation, political stability, rule of law, debt rule, budget balanced rule, and the combination between debt rule/budget balanced rule with political stability and combination between debt rule/budget balanced rule with rule of law are significant drivers of economic growth in piicgs countries while foreign direct investments, government effectiveness, voice and accountability, regulatory quality, fiscal rule index and expenditure rule are insignificant. However, the results may be different if we use other sample groups and/or different periods.
European Entrepreneurship Reinforcement Policies in Macro, Meso, and Micro Terms for the Post-COVID-19 Era
Authors: Chatzinikolaou Dimos , Demertzis Michail , Vlados Charis
Published: April 2021

In today’s unprecedented transformation in the global socio-economic system caused by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis and the escalating fourth industrial revolution, reinforcing innovative entrepreneurship appears a significant policy objective that can lead to overall socio-economic development. In this drastically changed context, entrepreneurship support policies seem that they need to be both conceptually and practically readjusted, simultaneously at the macro, meso, and micro levels. This paper investigates the case of public entrepreneurship policies in the European Union (EU), aiming to find specific patterns and suggest a new multilevel policy framework. Initially, the article offers a brief overview of the related trends created in the emerging post-COVID-19 era. Next, the “competitiveness web” perspective in terms of “macro-meso-micro” level synthesis is presented, considering that it can function as a theoretical framework for entrepreneurship reinforcement. Recent EU entrepreneurship support policy guidelines are then explored, emphasizing the latest trends and the development opportunities arising with the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility establishment to deal with the consequences of the current health and socio-economic crisis. Upon this basis, the paper concludes in a proposal for an integrated “macro-meso-micro” policy, placing at the epicenter the mechanism of the Institutes of Local Development and Innovation (ILDI). This policy aims to strengthen the spatially-located firms to reposition and readapt the “Stra.Tech.Man” potential they have and activate in their local business ecosystem (strategy-technology-management synthesis).
Green’s Relations on Regular Elements of Semigroup of Relational Hypersubstitutions for Algebraic Systems of Type ((m), (n))
Authors: Leeratanavalee Sorasak , Daengsaen Jukkrit
Published: April 2021

Any relational hypersubstitution for algebraic systems of type (τ,τ′) = ((mi)i∈I,(nj)j∈J)
is a mapping which maps any mi-ary operation symbol to an mi-ary term and maps any nj - ary relational symbol to an nj-ary relational term preserving arities, where I,J are indexed sets. Some algebraic properties of the monoid of all relational hypersubstitutions for algebraic systems of a special type, especially the characterization of its order and the set of all regular elements, were first studied by Phusanga and Koppitz[13] in 2018. In this paper, we study the Green’srelationsontheregularpartofthismonoidofaparticulartype(τ,τ′) = ((m),(n)), where m, n ≥ 2.

Published: April 2021

Climate insurance is already a hot topic due to the increased number of climate-related catastrophic events accompanied by associated losses for the economy in general and insurance companies, in particular. The extremely hot and dry summer of 2018 in some European countries highlighted existing weaknesses of the agricultural insurance mechanisms in Europe, where the farmers had to wait for months before compensation payments could bemade. Our paper aims to compare features of the yield-based insurance2and the index-based insurance (IBI)3in agriculture in the light of new developments and trends in information technologies (IT). The results show that an application of the distributed ledger technologies (DLT) in combination with IBI could not only resolve existing problems, but also facilitate development of the innovative insurance mechanisms at the EU level –providing effective protection against climate-related risks and preventing a systemic risk escalation
Preparedness of future medical personnel to support women with stress urinary incontinence: knowledge of
absorbent products and important factors to consider in choosing these products
Authors: Witkoś Joanna
Published: April 2021

Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a chronic disease and a serious health problem in modern
society.
Aim of the study: The present study aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge among students graduating
from medical faculties regarding absorbent products for women suffering from SUI.
Material and methods: The study involved 1,581 participants who were students in the final year of their
medical studies attending several different universities. The author’s survey was used for the research. The
chi2 test was used for analysis. Differences with a P-value of<0.05 were considered statistically signiﬁcant.
Results: Approximately 72% of nursing and midwifery students were familiar with absorbent products available
on the Polish market used in cases of urinary incontinence, compared to about 54% of physiotherapy
students and 35% of medical students. Approximately 77% of nursing and midwifery students were able to
indicate which factors are important when selecting products for women suffering from SUI. About 55% of
future physicians were knowledgeable about this subject and only 0.7% of physiotherapy students.
Conclusions: The group of nursing and midwifery students had the best level of knowledge necessary to assist
a woman suffering from SUI in the selection of absorbent products.
Interpretation of ECG recordings: part 1.
Authors: Szurgot Michał
Published: April 2021

Background: Despite having an academic background in the medical sciences, including students in the
field, many encounter issues in evaluating electrocardiogram (also known as electrocardiograph or ECG) recordings
to make appropriate diagnoses. The prevalent idea among most students currently is that ECG recordings
are difficult to comprehend and even more difficult to interpret. Unfortunately, it is still possible
today to come across a doctor (that is not a cardiologist) who cannot correctly evaluate an ECG, despite being
frequently used as a diagnostic indicator of serious health conditions. Evaluation of an ECG recording is a key
cardiac assessment that is safe, inexpensive, simple, and quick to complete. Some of the many reasons that
require an ECG include: health problems that are cardiologic or related to other internal organs, evaluation of
the risk of cardiovascular diseases, exclusion of potential pathological changes associated with age, and goals
of disease prevention. Evaluation of the test is made difficult due to a lack of understanding of the functional
mechanisms of an ECG as well as how to use it properly, which can distort the interpretation of the test.
Aim of the study: This article aims to explain the basic mechanisms of how an ECG functions, the proper
method of conducting the test, and will review the basics of interpreting recordings.
Material and methods: The hope is that the knowledge and information presented here will assist in laying
a foundation for better understanding disease mechanisms detected using ECG imaging, and help students
current and future students effectively learn about the test.
Results: This work is a proof of concept with simulations that appropriately reflect the physiological functioning
of the heart that are evaluated by ECG recordings.
Conclusions: This should make it easier for students to understand the basics of conducting and interpreting
ECG tests.
Diagnostyka i leczenie niedoboru testosteronu u mężczyzn na podstawie wytycznych europejskich i amerykańskich towarzystw urologicznych

Streszczenie

Niejednoznaczne dane dotyczące zarówno terminologii, diagnostyki, jak i leczenia niedoboru testosteronu u mężczyzn, skłoniły autorów do podjęcia próby krytycznej analizy dotychczasowej wiedzy. Aktualne wytyczne zarówno Amerykańskiego jak i Europejskiego Towarzystwa Urologicznego (EAU i AUA) określają terapię testosteronem jako skuteczną i bezpieczną. Jednak wiele doniesień wskazuje na negatywne skutki tej terapii budząc niechęć do jej stosowania przez lekarzy i potencjalnych pacjentów, głównie w obawie przed rozwojem u tych chorych raka gruczołu krokowego i incydentów sercowo-naczyniowych. Najwięcej wątpliwości zaobserwowano po opublikowaniu w 2013 i 2014 r. dwóch badań retrospektywnych, skutkiem czego było przerwanie terapii u wielu pacjentów, u których obserwowano korzystne działanie terapii testosteronem. Ponadto, u wielu mężczyzn ze wskazaniami do leczenia testosteronem, terapii tej nie zastosowano, w obawie o ich bezpieczeństwo. Najnowsze dane obaw tych jednak nie potwierdzają. W ponad 100 opublikowanych niedawno pracach naukowo-badawczych wykazano korzystny wpływ terapii testosteronem. Amerykańskie Towarzystwo Endokrynologów Klinicznych (AACE) i Amerykańskie Kolegium Endokrynologii (ACE) opracowały wspólnie własną ocenę piśmiennictwa stwierdzając, że nie ma przekonujących dowodów na to, że terapia testosteronem zwiększa ryzyko incydentów sercowo-naczyniowych. Tożsame wnioski płyną z aktualnych wytycznych EAU i AUA.

Streszczenie

Pyretroidy, syntetyczne pochodne naturalnych pyretryn pochodzących z Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolim, powszechnie stosowane do ochrony roślin, w leśnictwie, przemyśle rolniczym, farmaceutycznym, a także w medycynie oraz weterynarii. Do organizmu mogą się dostać poprzez wdychanie, spożycie oraz kontakt ze skórą. Przyjęto, że charakteryzują się niewielką toksycznością dla ludzi, są szybko metabolizowane i nie kumulują się w tkankach, a wydalane są z moczem. Mimo istniejących licznych obostrzeń, ich stosowanie niesie duże ryzyko, ponieważ związki te oraz ich metabolity mogą przedostawać się do środowiska naturalnego, zanieczyszczając wodę, glebę oraz żywność. Od wielu lat opisywane są skutki stosowania pyretroidów jako bezpośrednie zagrożenie dla zdrowia zwierząt oraz ludzi. Na bieżąco publikowane są informuje o zatruciach tymi związkami u ludzi i zwierząt oraz o ofiarach śmiertelnych po ich zażyciu. Najbardziej narażone są dzieci, gdyż pyretroidy mogą występować w mleku matki. Związki te działają nefrotoksycznie, hepatotoksycznie, immunotoksycznie, neurotoksycznie oraz negatywnie na układ rozrodczy oraz na płód. Pyretroidy takie jak: permetryna, deltametryna, alfa-cypermetryna są dopuszczane przez Światową Organizację Zdrowia do codziennego użytku, jednak liczne badania naukowe informują, że mogą wywołać stres oksydacyjny. Doprowadzają do uszkodzenia DNA, białek, lipidów oraz do indukcji apoptozy. Celem pracy było zebranie oraz usystematyzowanie dostępnej wiedzy dotyczącej wywoływania stresu oksydacyjnego przez wybrane pyretroidy.

Published: April 2021

O objetivo da pesquisa foi identificar a propensão para colaboração entre ofertantes e demandantes de tecnologia na Indústria 4.0 do Ceará. Para isso, foi realizado uma survey aplicada nos ofertantes de tecnologia que buscou compreender a tecnologia da instituição, bem como a sua aplicação e a sua proposta de valor para o setor industrial. As questões objetivas visavam medir o nível de maturidade da tecnologia, e também levantar a disposição em colaborar com uma empresa interessada em investir na tecnologia para desenvolvê-la. No caso da demanda, buscou-se levantar de um a dois problemas ou oportunidades existentes na empresa que pudessem ser solucionados por meio do desenvolvimento de uma tecnologia, os quais o respondente deveria descrever e apontar o nível de gravidade, urgência e tendência dos problemas ou oportunidades. Foi possível identificar que a maioria dos ofertantes já possuem produto pronto para o mercado, enquanto os demandantes têm maior necessidade justamente por esses produtos prontos. Seguido dos produtos acabados, a pesquisa demonstrou que as indústrias também possuem muito interesse em colaborar no desenvolvimento de tecnologias que ainda estão em fase de pesquisa, retratando que parte dos seus problemas não serão resolvidos com um produto padrão e deve ser individualizado.

O objetivo foi analisar o efeito da política pública no desenvolvimento dos APLs de Minas Gerais. Foram utilizados dados dos 853 municípios do estado, referentes a 2005 a 2016, extraído das bases FIRJAN e IMRS FJP. Para o tratamento e a análise dos dados utilizou-se o software Stata®. Para capturar esse efeito, foi empregado um modelo de efeitos fixos com dummy. Verificou-se, nos municípios pertencentes a APLs beneficiados pela referida política, um efeito positivo e significativo, indicando um incremento de 9,35% nos indicadores de desenvolvimento. Tais resultados oferecem uma sinalização positiva para a continuidade da política analisada, ou de ações semelhantes. Os APLs são reconhecidos como vetores de desenvolvimento muito em função de sua capacidade de potencializar a geração de emprego e renda. Assim, entende-se que a manutenção de ações para fortalecer as economias locais ao apoiar seu desenvolvimento tende a implicar positivamente no contexto onde os mesmos estão inseridos.

Este artigo identificou vantagens e desvantagens da implementação de uma estrutura dedicada à gestão de alianças, assim como avaliou os instrumentos criados e sua finalidade. Os resultados demonstram que as vantagens da estrutura dedicada -  mediação, organização e centralização da relação - superam as desvantagens - burocratização e lentidão no processo de tomada de decisões. A pesquisa contribuiu para a discussão sobre o papel do escritório e as relações entre ele e os mecanismos de formação das capacidades de aliança. Reafirmou sua importância no que se refere ao acúmulo e troca de conhecimento e identificação de oportunidades, confirmando a literatura. Outra contribuição relaciona-se à avaliação longitudinal - método pouco utilizado na literatura até então - da atuação do escritório - elucidando sua evolução e mecanismos de aprendizado. No que se refere à prática gerencial, o estudo contribuiu para demonstrar a necessidade de autonomia, apoio organizacional ao escritório e de treinamento específico em gestão de portfólio de alianças para os gestores envolvidos na coordenação de alianças.
PERSISTÊNCIA DAS PMES BRASILEIRAS NA EXPORTAÇÃO: UMA ANÁLISE DOS FATORES INTERNOS E EXTERNOS DE ESTÍMULO
Authors: Milan Edmilson , Machado Marcelo
Published: April 2021

A atividade exportadora de pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs) tem sido estudada há décadas e vários fatores internos e externos de estímulo associados a esse tipo de organização foram identificados. Contudo, para PMEs de um país emergente com grande mercado interno, ainda há lacunas a serem exploradas para se compreender melhor a persistência de PMEs na exportação. Assim, o presente artigo buscou compreender os fatores internos e externos que interferem na persistência das PMEs brasileiras nas exportações. Com base no caso de 14 PMEs gaúchas que exportaram ininterruptamente de 2003 a 2017, foi realizada uma pesquisa com o método QCA para conhecer as principais combinações de fatores internos e externos que auxiliaram essas empresas a persistirem na exportação. Os resultados revelaram que os fatores internos na persistência de PMEs exportadoras provêm da combinação dos recursos humanos, dos ganhos financeiros da exportação, da existência de inovação e de competências de marketing. Já os fatores externos às PMEs surgiram da combinação de condições do mercado externo, do apoio do governo, da competição e das demandas dos clientes. Um elemento interno não apontado na literatura, e que surge como fator de persistência, foi o planejamento estratégico prévio para a exportação.

Published: April 2021

Atualmente as grandes empresas estão cada vez mais próximas das startups. Para reduzir o risco do relacionamento e aumentar a segurança jurídica, entende-se que a propriedade intelectual necessita ser incorporada à tomada de decisão da empresa. Desta forma, buscou-se analisar junto às empresas de grande porte brasileiras associadas à ANPEI (Associação Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento das Empresas Inovadoras) se a propriedade intelectual é um fator relevante em suas estratégias de relacionamento com startups. Para tanto, uma pesquisa exploratória mista (quantitativa e qualitativa) intencional foi realizada utilizando um questionário enviado para 100% das empresas qualificadas (73) como respondentes pela associação supracitada. Com uma taxa de 26% de resposta (19), obteve-se uma amostra satisfatória neste tipo de abordagem. Os resultados mostraram que as empresas brasileiras entrevistadas consideram “Tecnologia e Inovação”, “Alinhamento entre a empresa e startup” e “Qualidade e capacidade da equipe” como os fatores mais relevantes para a tomada de decisão para firmar um relacionamento. A propriedade intelectual é caracterizada como relevante nas decisões estratégicas para um relacionamento com startup, pois é citada por 58% das empresas respondentes.

O contexto pluralista concerne as organizações onde há acentuada pressão de stakeholders e reguladores, cujadistribuição de poder internamente é difusa e onde o processo de trabalho éfortemente baseado no conhecimentoespecializado. Pesquisadores tem buscado entender melhor os desafios estratégicos nessas organizações, pois nelas hágrande dificuldade de coordenação e de engajamento para a busca de resultados coletivos. Alguns estudos apontam parao impacto positivo de práticas capitaneadas pela área de gestão de RH e para o papel das lideranças, agenciadoras deestruturas de coesão, para superar as dificuldades. A pesquisa descrita neste artigo investigou o efeito da capacitação emgestão para as lideranças de uma organização pluralista, a Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz), promovida pela área deGestão de RH com vistas a melhorar seu alinhamento estratégico. A análise dos achados, ancorada na perspectiva que foca práticas, identificou pelo menos quatro aspectos onde a capacitação contribuiu para incremento das práticas dos egressos que levam ao alinhamento: na ampliação da visão sistêmica, na adoção de práticas de planejamento e controle, na melhoria do exercício da liderança e na promoção da gestão de significados (sensemaking).

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo de caso realizado na disciplina Banco de Dados, numa turma de um curso técnico em Informática na modalidade integrada. Com o objetivo de investigar os processos de ensino e aprendizagem na disciplina, sob a luz dos pressupostos da teoria da aprendizagem significativa, o estudo abordou as seguintes questões: 1) Como a relação entre hierarquia conceitual e organização do ensino na disciplina e a matriz curricular do curso influenciam elaboração de estratégias subjetivas de aprendizagem? 2) Como as relações com a instituição, o curso, o professor e a turma podem contribuir (ou não) para uma aprendizagem significativa na disciplina? Para isso, como instrumentos de coleta de dados, foram adotados observações diretas e participantes, questionário e entrevista semi-estruturada. Os resultados reforçaram a importância de uma abordagem de ensino recontextualizada para educação profissional e da atenção às relações docente e discente, ao currículo e ao contexto social por uma aprendizagem não-mecânica. Concluiu-se que a organização, os métodos de ensino e os instrumentos de avaliação relacionados devem ser pensados a partir de uma hierarquia conceitual e visando a integração dos componentes curriculares essenciais para a promoção de uma aprendizagem significativa em banco de dados.

Há uma demanda em identificar estudantes que irão necessitar de suporte pedagógico em introdução à programação como estratégia para combater a evasão e retenção. Diferentes características dos estudantes foram analisadas com este propósito, dentre elas o uso das notas de ingresso na instituição de ensino. No entanto, observa-se uma lacuna de dados do contexto educacional brasileiro. Apresenta-se neste estudo a análise estatística dos dados acadêmicos de 292 estudantes. As pontuações no vestibular foram correlacionadas com o desempenho alcançado em introdução à programação. Observou-se uma fraca correlação positiva, que corrobora outros estudos na literatura. Discute-se as implicações deste resultado para a construção de modelos de predição de desempenho acadêmico em programação. Além disto, um procedimento de meta-análise foi realizado para sumarizar o corpo de conhecimento de outros estudos sobre essa temática.

A sociedade contemporânea há tempos tem experimentado mudanças e transformações provocadas pelos avanços científicos e tecnológicos que afetam e modificam o mercado trabalho, as relações sociais, a cultura, a ciência e a educação. Entretanto, chama atenção o fato da Educação Básica brasileira ainda não estar alinhada a esta tendência mundial e ainda ensaiar experiências de integração das tecnologias digitais na rotina das escolas públicas. Isso se deve, em parte, à formação inicial dos professores que pouco contempla o uso pedagógico das tecnologias digitais para os processos de ensino e de aprendizagem. Além disso, também torna-se cada vez mais necessário incentivar práticas educativas que estimulem habilidades relacionadas à capacidade de resolver problemas, lidar com frustrações e criar soluções como condições essenciais para que as pessoas possam se desenvolver integralmente e profissionalmente, permitindo o ingresso e a manutenção no mercado de trabalho. Neste sentido, uma direção que vem se popularizando nos últimos anos e tem incentivado o aparecimento de um grande número de iniciativas relacionadas ao uso das tecnologias digitais na educação é a do Pensamento Computacional. É nesta direção que se insere o presente artigo que tem como objetivo relatar a experiência de um curso de formação continuada em Pensamento Computacional do Programa [omitido], realizado com professores do Ensino Fundamental dos anos finais. Esse curso uniu as metodologias da aprendizagem baseada em resolução de problemas, computação desplugada, jogos digitais e programação visual, a fim de estimular o desenvolvimento do Pensamento Computacional como um instrumento de aumento do poder cognitivo e operacional humano, integrando-o nas práticas pedagógicas dos professores. Como resultados da experiência, os professores adotaram novas estratégias no seu ambiente de trabalho, elaborando e aplicando práticas educativas integradas ao Pensamento Computacional em escolas públicas da rede de ensino.
Computational Thinking for All: What Does It Mean for Teacher Education in Brazil?
Authors: Pontual Falcão Taciana
Published: April 2021

Integrating Computational Thinking (CT) and Computer Science (CS) concepts to childrens education is a hot topic nowadays. However, most research around this topic focuses on the students, how they learn and what they need to learn. Much less work has been done on the teachers needs to acquire and develop the necessary CT skills and knowledge to be teaching these students. Reflecting a general trend towards autonomous learning, many CT resources for educators are available, such as online courses for building capacity as well as activities and tools to be used in lessons. Nevertheless, little change is perceived in Brazilian schools, and knowledge about CT among schoolteachers is still incipient, indicating that, for teachers to integrate CT within their disciplines, in-service (and mostly autonomous) development might not be sufficient. Meanwhile, faculty from teacher education undergraduate programs have been mostly unresponsive to these new demands related to CT. In fact, instructors themselves need to develop this new competence, as they are not familiar with the concept of CT or how to apply it. Very particular to the Brazilian context, CS teacher education programs (Licenciatura em Computação) could be a key to solve this puzzle, as both faculty and student teachers are dealing with CS Education and CT. However, the CS student teachers remain isolated and often ignored by national policies, while most investment is made on in-service development for schoolteachers from all other disciplines. This paper presents CT research in Brazil related to teacher education, resources for in-service training, the potential contribution of the CS teacher education programs, and, within this context, discusses which directions could be followed to inform national policies and curricula adaptations in higher education institutions. In our opinion, more attention must be given to developing CT in higher education institutions, including both facultys CT abilities and knowledge, and curriculum redesign.

Background: Stuttering as a communication disorder can lead to serious problems in interpersonal communication and affect the quality of life of the affected person. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of telehealth in improving its treatment and its effect on maintenance phase of stuttering children. Methods: In this study, all 6 - 12 year-old stuttering children referred to the Speech Therapy Center of Shahid Beheshti Hospital in 2018 were selected by purposeful sampling method and divided into two groups of experiment and control. Children were healthy and without any disorder. All 12 children received a three-month course of treatment with a speech and language pathologist (SLP) weekly one session. Maintenance phase included 8 sessions of 30 minutes over a period of six months. Results: Six children in the experimental group received maintenance phase training exercises by the SLP in the form of audio and video files through the WhatsApp software. Average total satisfaction rating (4.22) the lowest satisfaction score (3.16) highest score (5). According to the total score of the questionnaire,17% of the parents were satisfied at a low rate, 33% of parents were satisfied with the average and 50% of parents were very satisfied. Conclusions: In this study, the efficacy of telehealth on the maintenance phase of stuttering children has been evaluated. Results showed that telemedicine, with its ability to completely remove distance and travel as barriers for both patients and health care professionals is one option. Telemedicine can be a viable alternative to traditional in-person physician-based care for stuttering.
Reflections on Citizen of the World

Published: April 2021

In my reflections on Peter Kemp’s Citizen of the World I first consider the link between cosmopolitanism and globalization. Second, I examine the historical analysis of the phenomenon of cosmopolitanism following it from its origins in ancient Greece to its manifestation in our contemporary world. Third, I reflect on the way in which cosmopolitanism can become the hermeneutic basis for a philosophy of education, the principal claim of the book.
Attention as the Way to Being
Authors: Berger Lawrence ,   The Heidegger Circle
Published: April 2021

I argue that staying with the movement of attention is the way to being. For attention moves in response to the appeal of being, which means that being shows itself in that movement. We are thus always already on the way to being, always already listening to its call. But something else is required, a special effort of attending to one’s own movement, a taking-heed (In-die-Acht-nehmen) that enables being to be made manifest in a more profound manner, which can transform our being in the world and associated ethical and political realities.
What if Oedipus or Polynices had been a Slave?
Authors: Chanter Tina ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2021

Examination of Sophocles’ Antigone reveals how the corpse remains a historically, culturally and politically inscribed subject. To leave Polynices’ corpse, by Creon’s decree, to the open air to be consumed by carrion is e!ectively to erase Polynice’s status as an Athenian citizen and transubstantiate the materiality of the corpse into one that is immaterial and non-human – that of a slave. Antigone’s refusal to leave the unburied remains of her brother - a refusal that has been traditionally romanticized as an act of rebellion against authoritarian control - circumscribes and rei”es class boundaries between the free, the civilized, and the unfree, uncivilized slave. In e!ect, Polynices’ unburied body unearths the ways in which a “western, hegemonic canon” has e!ectively buried a history of chattel slavery that has made much of this cultural output possible. An engagement with particularly notable ruminations on Antigone, such as Hegel’s and Derrida’s, serves to exemplify how the “gure of Antigone has been appropriated in ways that consolidate, rather than disrupt, a tradition of thought that evades its own implication in slavery and colonialism.
