Bedside Intracranial Hematoma Evacuation and Intraparenchymal Drain Placement for Spontaneous Intracranial Hematoma Larger than 30cc in Volume: Institutional Experience and Patient Outcomes
Authors: Carson Tyler , Ghanchi Hammad , Billings Marc , Cortez Vladimir , Sweiss Raed , Miulli Dan
Published: August 2018

Introduction: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for significant morbidity and mortality in the United States. Many studies have looked at the benefits of surgical intervention for ICH. Recent results for Minimally Invasive Surgery Plus Recombinant Tissue-type Plasminogen Activator for Intracerebral Hemorrhage-II trials have shown promise for a minimally invasive clot evaluation on improving perihematomal edema. Often rural or busy county medical centers may not have the resources available for immediate operative procedures that are nonemergent. In addition, ICH disproportionally affects the elderly which may not be stable for general anesthetics. This study looks at a minimally invasive bedside approach under conscious sedation for evacuation of ICH. Materials and Methods: Placement of the intraparenchymal hemorrhage drain utilizes bony anatomical landmarks referenced from computed tomography (CT) head to localize the entry point for the trajectory of drain placement. Using the hand twist drill intracranial access is gained the clot accessed with a brain needle. A Frazier suction tip with stylet is inserted along the tract then the stylet is removed. The clot is then aspirated, and suction is then turned off, and Frazier sucker is removed. A trauma style ventricular catheter is then passed down the tract into the center of hematoma and if no active bleeding is noted on postplacement CT and catheter is in an acceptable position then 2 mg recombinant tissue plasminogen activator are administered through the catheter and remaining clot is allowed to drain over days. Results: A total of 12 patients were treated from October 2014 to December 2017. The average treatment was 6.4 days. The glascow coma scale score improved on an average from 8 to 11 posttreatment with a value of P is 0.094. The average clot size was reduced by 77% with a value of P = 0.0000035. All patients experienced an improvement in expected mortality when compared to the predicted ICH score. Discussion: The results for our series of 12 patients show a trend toward improvement in Glasgow Coma Scale after treatment with minimally invasive intraparenchymal clot evacuation and drain placement at the bedside; although, it did not reach statistical significance. There was a reduction in clot size after treatment, which was statistically significant. In addition, the 30-day mortality actually observed in our patients was lower than that estimated using ICH score. Based on our experience, this procedure can be safely performed at the bedside and has resulted in better outcomes for these patients.

Published: August 2018

Possible coinfections with Orientia tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus, were prospectively evaluated in rice farmers hospitalized with leptospirosis in Northeast Thailand. Of 22 adults with leptospirosis diagnosed by the microscopic agglutination test, 9 also had serologic evidence of scrub typhus. Of 9 individuals with possible coinfections, 5 had signs or symptoms typical of scrub typhus and atypical of leptospirosis. Patients who appeared to have mixed infections had significantly higher median platelet counts and significantly lower median serum bilirubin and creatinine concentrations (P < 0.05, Mann-Whitney U test) than did individuals with leptospirosis alone. One patient with serologic evidence of scrub typhus and leptospirosis was treated only with penicillin, to which scrub typhus is not sensitive. Respiratory distress worsened during therapy, and the patient died of respiratory failure. Physicians should consider the possibility of scrub typhus infection in leptospirosis patients who respond poorly to treatment or who have atypical disease manifestations.

Published: August 2018

Abstract. Water soluble organic carbon (WSOC) in atmospheric aerosols may pose significant impacts on haze formation, climate change, and human health. This study investigated the distribution characteristics and sources of WSOC in Beijing based on the diurnal PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 samples collected during haze episodes in winter and early spring of 2017. The haze episode in winter showed elevated level of WSOC, around three times of that in spring. WSOC was enriched in PM2.5 in winter while the proportions in both finer (0–1 μm) and coarse particles (2.5–10 μm) increased in spring. Several organic tracers were carefully selected and measured to demonstrate the sources and formation mechanism of WSOC. Most of the identified organic tracers showed similar seasonal variation, diurnal change and size distributions with WSOC, while the biogenic secondary organic aerosol (SOA) tracer cis-pinonic acid was an obvious exception. Based on the distribution characteristics of the secondary organic tracers and their correlation patterns with key influencing factors, the importance of the gas-phase versus aqueous-phase oxidation processes on SOA formation was explored. The gas-phase photochemical oxidation was weakened during haze episodes, whereas the aqueous-phase oxidation became the major pathway of SOA formation, especially in winter, at night and for the coarser particles. Secondary sources accounted for more than 50 % of WSOC in both winter and spring. Biomass burning was not the dominant source of WSOC in Beijing during haze episodes. Primary sources showed greater influence on finer particles while secondary sources became more important for coarser particles during haze episode in winter. SOC estimated by the OC-EC method, WSOC-levoglucosan method, and PMF-based methods were comparable, and the potential errors for different SOC estimation methods were discussed.
An explicit method of mesoscale convective storm prediction for the central region of Russia
Authors: Gubenko Inna M. , Kurbatova Maria M. , Rubinstein Konstantin G.
Published: August 2018

Abstract. This work presents simulation results of the storm observed on the
13–14 July 2016 over the Central region of Russia. The Cumulonimbus
cloud (Cb) electrification model coupled with the numerical weather prediction
model WRF-ARW were used for this study. The prognostic values of the electric
field magnitude were compared with observations. Forecast scores were
obtained. The results show that the proposed approach of explicit modelling of
the electric field is applicable to short-term forecasting of intense
convection and passage tracking of storms. Obtaining varying values of the
electric field could help to identify the diversity of hazardous weather
phenomena associated with convection.

Abstract. The 4.2 ka BP event is widely described as a 200–300 years long interval of major climate anomaly (typically, arid and cooler conditions potentially across the globe), which defines the beginning of the current Meghalayan age in the Holocene epoch. The 4.2 ka event however, has been disproportionately reported from proxy records situated at low-mid latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. Consequently, the climatic manifestation of the 4.2 ka event in both spatial and temporal domains is still much less clear in Southern Hemisphere. This is particularly the case for the southwest sector of the southern Indian Ocean. Here we present high-resolution and chronologically well-constrained speleothem oxygen and carbon isotopes records of hydroclimate variability between ~ 6 and 3 ka ago from Rodrigues Island, located in the southwest subtropical Indian Ocean, ~ 600 km east of Mauritius. Our records reveal a major shift to drier condition at circa 4 ka BP, which culminated into a multicentennial period of drought (i.e., megadrought) that lasted continuously from ~ 3.9 to 3.5 ka BP. The inferred hydroclimatic conditions between 4.0 and 4.2 ka BP, are however not distinctly distinguishable from the region’s mean hydroclimatic state over the length of our record. Because the precipitation variability at Rodrigues is distinctly modulated by meridional movement of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone and the El Nino Southern Oscillation dynamics, our proxy data may ultimately provide critical constraints in our understanding the timing and dynamical forcing of the 4.2 ka event.
What climate signal is contained in decadal to centennial scale isotope variations from Antarctic ice cores?
Authors: Münch Thomas , Laepple Thomas
Published: August 2018

Abstract. Ice-core-based records of isotopic composition are a proxy for past temperatures and can thus provide information on polar climate variability over a large range of timescales. However, individual isotope records are affected by a multitude of processes that may mask the true temperature variability. The relative magnitude of climate and non-climate contributions is expected to vary as a function of timescale, and thus it is crucial to determine those temporal scales at which the actual signal dominates the noise. At present, there are no reliable estimates of this timescale dependence of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Here, we present a simple method that applies spectral analyses to stable-isotope data from multiple cores to estimate the SNR, and the signal and noise variability, as a function of timescale. The method builds on separating the contributions from a common signal and from local variations and includes a correction for the effects of diffusion and time uncertainty. We apply our approach to firn-core arrays from Dronning Maud Land (DML) in East Antarctica and from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS). For DML and decadal to multicentennial timescales, we find an increase of the SNR by nearly one order of magnitude (~ 0.2 at decadal and ~ 1.0 at multicentennial scales). The estimated spectrum of climate variability also shows increasing variability towards longer timescales, contrary to what is traditionally inferred from single records in this region. In contrast, the inferred variability spectrum for WAIS stays close to constant over decadal to centennial timescales, and the results even suggest a decrease in SNR over this range of timescales. We speculate that these differences between DML and WAIS are related to differences in the spatial and temporal scales of the isotope signal, highlighting the potentially more homogeneous atmospheric conditions on the Antarctic Plateau in contrast to the marine-influenced conditions on WAIS. In general, our approach provides a methodological basis for separating local proxy variability from coherent climate variations which is applicable to a large set of palaeoclimate records.
El abrigo de Hoya de Navarejos III (Tormón, Teruel). Nuevas perspectivas para el análisis del arte levantino interior
Authors: Bea Martínez Manuel
Published: August 2018

Se presenta un nuevo conjunto de arte levantino, denominado Hoya de Navarejos III, localizado en plena Sierra de Albarracín. Tanto sus representaciones rupestres como su especial emplazamiento, en el interior de una cámara natural asociada a un recinto exterior delimitado por lajas hincadas, hace que se pueda calificar como una de las estaciones rupestres más destacadas y singulares del arte levantino de la Península Ibérica. Estas características, junto a las de otros conjuntos recientemente descubiertos o estudiados, hacen que la clasificación levantina de sus figuraciones en relación al contexto referido invite a replantear determinados aspectos definitorios del propio arte levantino, atendiendo tanto a cuestiones estilísticas como de filiación crono-cultural.
La estela de guerrero y la estela antropomorfa de Pedra Alta (Castrelo de Val, Galicia)
Authors: Santos-Estévez Manuel , Mañana-Borrazás Patricia , Amado Rolán Nieves , Pires Hugo
Published: August 2018

El propósito de este artículo es describir una estela descubierta en el municipio de Castrelo do Val (Ourense) y realizar un primer análisis sobre su iconografía, estilo y cronología. Esta estela presenta una serie de grabados muy semejantes a los de las estelas de guerrero del sudoeste y unas de escotaduras que confieren a la piedra un aspecto vagamente antropomorfo. Se propone la existencia de tres posibles momentos sucesivos de uso para este monumento; el más antiguo con grabados rupestres atlánticos, el segundo con una iconografía propia de las Estelas de Guerrero y un tercero en el que se realizan las escotaduras.
Territorios ancestrales y alfarería ausente. La cerámica del pueblo qom (Gran Chaco, Argentina)
Authors: Vidal Aixa
Published: August 2018

El presente artículo se basa en algunas cuestiones tecnológicas y sociales de una población indígena americana tradicional con el fin de aportar una reflexión sobre las dificultades para generar una interpretación holística de los cambios en la cultura material de una sociedad, en particular en aquellas ya desaparecidas. Se propone para ello recorrer el sentido inverso a las investigaciones etnoarqueológicas tradicionales: a partir de la revisión tecnológica de materiales cerámicos de un grupo étnico actual conservados en museo, se interactúa con las fuentes documentales, los alfareros indígenas, sus descendientes y otras personas cualificadas en el tema. De esta manera, la cerámica realizada por los alfareros qom durante distintos momentos de los dos últimos siglos se interpreta a la luz de varias alternativas: desde un mero elemento material definido por ciertas características tecnológicas y estéticas, a su documentación como objeto, la contextualización de la vida cotidiana y de la actividad cerámica en la sociedad qom tanto en el pasado reciente como en la actualidad, y la importancia que tiene en todo el proceso de cambio el apego a la identidad y a valores supramateriales como el territorio, factores que exceden la mera observación corpórea del objeto.

Expansión de la temporalidad y erosión de la relación de empleo estándar en España: ¿La irrupción de un nuevo paradigma de relación de empleo?
Authors: Lorente Campos Raúl , Guamán Hernández Adoración
Published: August 2018

Desde la década de los ochenta el mercado de trabajo español ha venido caracterizado por la persistencia de unas tasas muy altas de temporalidad hasta convertirse este en un problema crónico de la sociedad española, que, además, no ha tenido -en cuanto a magnitud- parangón en el resto de países de la UE. Las diferentes fórmulas de contratación temporal creadas e incentivadas por la vía normativa en un proceso de “reforma laboral permanente” se han convertido, en conjunción con otros factores entre los que destaca la utilización empresarial de los contratos temporales en el límite de la legislación, cuando no en claro fraude de ley, en una efectiva vía para la segmentación laboral y una clara degradación de la calidad del empleo en nuestro país. El cambio del marco regulatorio se convierte así en un vector fundamental de la erosión de la “relación de empleo estándar” y en el vaciamiento de los contenidos de la fórmula “contrato de trabajo indefinido”. El análisis conjunto de este cambio de marco regulatorio y de la evolución del mercado de trabajo en España permite vislumbrar si estamos ante un cambio de paradigma respecto a la relación de empleo dominante en esta fase del capitalismo y si nuestro país se sitúa en la avanzadilla o vanguardia de esta transformación
Contrataciones temporarias y empleo no protegido en Argentina, Chile y Perú: incidencia y determinantes
Authors: Marshall Adriana
Published: August 2018

Los distintos tipos de contratos temporarios legales y las formas de empleo que no cumplen con la legislación facilitan el ajuste del empleo a los requerimientos de las empresas y permiten reducir costos laborales. Su incidencia en el empleo depende no sólo de la evolución de la economía y del mercado de trabajo sino también de otros factores, en particular las trayectorias recorridas históricamente por la normativa laboral, el control estatal de su cumplimiento y el propio grado de evasión. Para contribuir a la comprensión de los determinantes del grado de difusión de diferentes prácticas de empleo, en este artículo se explora la utilización de los contratos temporarios legales y de las relaciones de empleo no protegidas legalmente por parte de las empresas privadas de tres países latinoamericanos (Argentina, Chile y Perú) durante 2003-2012, un período de crecimiento económico, y el papel explicativo que habrían desempeñado los distintos factores.
El movimiento social de 1995 en Francia contra el neoliberalismo
Authors: Antentas Collderram Josep María
Published: August 2018

Las movilizaciones de noviembre-diciembre de 1995 en Francia contra el Plan Juppé fueron la primera gran revuelta en un país europeo contra el neoliberalismo. Con los trabajadores del sector público como eje de la protesta el movimiento se desplegó en base a la articulación combinada de huelgas y manifestaciones. Las reivindicaciones sectoriales se articularon en un discurso más general de defensa del servicio público y el interés general. Noviembre-diciembre de 1995 marcó el inicio de un ciclo de movilizaciones contra el neoliberalismo en Francia que testimonió su creciente pérdida de legitimidad.
Acumulación de capital, despojo y disputas de espacios agrarios en Brasil y México
Authors: Ávila Romero Agustín , Rodrigues de Oliveira Adriano , Enrique Ávila Romero Leon
Published: August 2018

La acumulación de capital en América Latina ocasiona un proceso de despojo de tierras a campesinos e indígenas en diferentes naciones. Y México y Brasil se encuentran inmersos en esa dinámica pese a tener por varios años otros diseños de política económica y agropecuaria. A través de una investigación bibliográfica y de base de datos, encontramos un proceso de disputas de los espacios agrarios entre las grandes corporacionestrasnacionales y los productores rurales de ambas naciones. Así el espacio agrario se encuentra marcado por el impulso del agronegocio, el neoextractivismo y la mercantilización de la naturaleza. Se construye así una reconfiguración geográfica del capital, donde dichos países se insertan de manera subordinada en el capitalismo global. Se presenta un proceso de subsunción real del territorio al capital que conlleva a la construcción de regímenes de desapropiación en ambas naciones y el fortalecimiento de la colonialidad y la concentración y extranjerización de tierras.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar o mapeamento das unidades de paisagem na escala dos geocomplexos para o estado do Rio Grande do Norte. A pesquisa foi organizada no sistema taxonômico proposto por Bertrand (1972) e utilizado por Ab’Sáber (2003) para o território nacional e por Souza (2000) para o estado do Ceará. O mapeamento foi realizado em escala de 1:250.000. Foram identificados e mapeados 20 geocomplexos, nove regiões naturais e dois domínios morfoclimáticos para o estado do Rio Grande do Norte. Espera-se que este estudo seja utilizado posteriormente como base parao planejamento e o ordenamento do território.
Espaço e técnica no triângulo mineiro: uma geoliteratura do mundo rural
Authors: Lacerda de Brito Adriana , Cristina dos Santos Joelma
Published: August 2018

Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal compreender as relações entre o espaço e a técnica na geoliteratura do mundo rural do Sertão de Passagens, antigo Triângulo Mineiro. Para isso, utilizaremos as obras Sertão da Farinha Podre. Romance histórico dos primórdios IPIACUPA (2013), de Ernesto Rosa, e o livro Nos confins do Sertão da Farinha Podre, de Mário Lara (2009). Para os temas abordados, recorreremos a uma “literatura menor” que possa contribuir para uma interpretação das relações entre a sociedade e a natureza que se desenham na região. O mundo rural, construído no lugar do sertão de outrora, surge aos poucos, a partir dos avanços relacionados à modernidade, orientando-se pela mediação técnica que aparece na constituição do território e da paisagem, e compreende o espaço geográfico em sua completude. Dessa forma, representações do mundo rural cercam o espaço das obras analisadas, contribuindo para interpretações do espaço, à medida que se reconhecem não apenas os limites da técnica, mas também a essência do espaço.
Coremática: um olhar geográfico sobre o espaço
Authors: De Oliveira Fonseca Charles , Célio Valadão Roberto
Published: August 2018

É notório o já estabelecido diálogo entre a geografia e a cartografia, uma vez que esta última surge da primeiracomo forma de comunicação por meio da representação gráfica. Todavia, a evolução dessas áreas conduziu à especialização e ao afastamento entre elas. Na cartografia, a contribuição de diversas ciências, sobretudo as exatas, ressignificou as bases de produção de mapas euclidianos, sistematizados e informativos. Assim, asrepresentações da cartografia passaram não mais a atender  ntegralmente aos interesses da geografia, pois não priorizam as espacialidades. A subutilização do potencial cartográfico para fins geográficos incentivou novas formas de representação do espaço. Entre elas, destaca-se a coremática, por constituir mais que um método, ao se ater aos princípios da fundamentação geográfica; nela, as bases euclidianas deixam de constituir um conceito fundamental na criação de modelos gráficos, embora não as ignore. Este artigo trata desse afastamento entre geografia e cartografia, cotejando a coremática como possibilidade de representação no contexto da cartografia geográfica. Apresenta-se aqui ainda o estudo dos conflitos socioambientais em curso na Serra do Gandarela e entorno, serra essa localizada no Quadrilátero Ferrífero (MG), como pano de fundo para se demonstrar a contribuição da modelização coremática na análise de fatos e fenômenos do ponto de vista geográfico.
The Unique Structure of the Pronoun "you" in Arabic Variety Associated with This Pronoun in Term of Gender and Number
Authors: Alsufyani Samah
Published: August 2018

This paper examines the second person pronoun in Arabic with much focus on how this pronoun can affect the antecedent; the word that the pronoun stands for. Obviously, the Arabic pronoun "you" can have various types to encode the gender and the number of the addressee. The detailed matter of this pronoun can be noticed when the person to whom we direct the talk is masculine or feminine and if this person singular, dual or plural. All these concepts have a certain rule that must be added to the noun, the verb or the preposition that follows. As a result, the listener or the reader can easily decide on the identity of the addressee in the cases of using the pronoun "you". This is because diacritical mark is used to indicate singular form of the pronoun "you" which is used  in the written discourse to reflect which gender is being addressed. Furthermore, we can find diversity of suffixes at the end of such noun or verb without any change in the meaning but they change the grammar of that word according to gender and dual or plural forms. Therefore, this paper will stand on clarifying and analyzing some important points related to the unique structure of the pronoun "you".

Continuity of nursing care in Finnish primary health care settings: A 15-year follow-up
Authors: Raivio Risto , Paavilainen Eija , Mattila Kari J.
Published: August 2018

Objective: Continuity is an essential part of high-quality nursing care. This study is the first systematic follow-up of Finnish primary health care patients assessing continuity of health centre nursing staff. The aim was to ascertain how longitudinal interpersonal continuity of care is related to patients’ characteristics, their consultation experiences, and how continuity had changed over the 15-year study period.Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among patients attending the health centres in the Tampere University Hospital catchment area from 1998 to 2013. A total of 157,549 patients responded out of 363,464 in almost 60 health centres. We analysed the opinions of patients (n = 47,470) who had visited a nurse during the survey weeks. Opinions on the continuity of care were assessed with the question: “When visiting the health centre, do you usually see the same nurse”, the alternatives being “yes” or “no”. A binary logistic regression model was used.Results: Almost two thirds of the respondents had met the same nurse when visiting their health care centre. Longitudinal interpersonal continuity of care decreased by 15 percentage (67%-52%) during the study years. Continuity was connected to patient-related items such as a visit in the preceding 12 months (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.17-1.49) and non-urgency of the visit (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.27-1.63). The most prominent factor contributing to the sense of continuity of care was how attentively nurses had listened to their patients’ problems and shown an interest in them and a willingness to answer their questions (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.120-1.43).Conclusions: In the past 15 years patient-reported longitudinal interpersonal continuity of nursing care has declined. However continuity of care proved to enhance the experienced quality of primary health care. Continuity was best realized in nursing care when nurses had listened to their patients’ problems, showed interest toward them and a willingness to answer their questions.

Most scholars believe that for recognition and exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities the traditional models and theories of don’t have the required efficiency in the technological and international contexts since the liner nature of these models aren’t compatible with these situations and needs nonlinear models to identify and exploit these opportunities. Therefore, applying suitable and new strategies are inevitable to provide customers’ requirements with uncertainties in the technological and international contexts. In this study, the theories about international technological entrepreneurship opportunities are discussed and the theoretical gaps were investigated. The review revealed that some questions are in this field that have not been regarded in the current theories and more studies should be conducted based on these topics to answer the theoretical gaps.
Investigating Finance-Growth Nexus: Further Evidence from Nigeria
Authors: Oyebowale Adeola Yahya , Karley Noah Kofi
Published: August 2018

This study investigates the influence of financial sector development on economic growth in Nigeria during the period 1982 to 2015. As such, the study obtained annual secondary data from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletins and World Bank financial database. The empirical model for this study examines growth in savings, growth in exchange rate, growth in government expenditure, growth in stock market capitalization, growth in credit to private sector, growth in gross capital formation, growth in trade openness and growth in broad money on economic growth in Nigeria. The multiple regression output reveals that growth in government expenditure and growth in gross capital formation are statistically significant on economic growth in Nigeria at 1% and 10% respectively under the period under investigation while other regressors in the model prove to be statistically insignificant. VAR test shows that there is considerable short-run causality running from lags of regressors to economic growth in Nigeria except for lag 1 of growth in exchange rate and lag 2 of growth in credit to private sector. The granger causality test reveals the existence of bi-directional causality between financial sector development and economic growth in Nigeria during the period under investigation. Hence, this study supports the ‘feedback hypothesis’ view on finance-growth. Based on these empirical results, this study recommends effective channeling of funds to the private sector and autonomy of the Central Bank of Nigeria in the use of monetary policy tools.

Privacy And Web 3.0: Implementing Trust and Learning from Social Networks
Authors: Bouchagiar George
Published: August 2018

After having shifted from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0, scientists welcome the advent of Web 3.0, an environment where meaning is added to data. While in the Semantic Web people are no longer users, but part of the emerging applications, producers, subjects and beneficiaries of the Big Data, however, opaque processing of personal data poses tremendous risks and dangers for individuals. Given the new era of Big Data this paper studies firms’ purposes and practices to detect some emerging privacy risks. Moreover, theories that deal with social networks are examined to conclude that, even if people state that they value their privacy, however, they often disclose a huge volume of personal information. Taking into account that today’s European concept of privacy is conceptualized in negative terms this paper also proposes the implementation of trust and loyalty into the privacy concept through flexible fiduciary laws. Furthermore, data portability is discussed to detect its potential as a strategic feature, a key tool that will enhance trust. Finally, further scenarios and proposals are submitted, in our attempt to answer the question whether the European concept of privacy could be re-shaped for the benefit of individuals.

O presente artigo buscou analisar a qualidade e satisfação nos serviços prestados pelo Sistema Nacional de Empregos - SINE, por meio da aplicação da escala SERVPERF. A pesquisa foi realizada na agência FGTAS/SINE na cidade de Santiago, Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, no período de 12 a 22 de junho de 2017. Foram pesquisadas e analisadas as percepções dos usuários referente aos seguintes serviços prestados pelo SINE: intermediação de mão de obra, seguro-desemprego e protocolo de carteira de trabalho. Uma amostra de 103 usuários foi utilizada para a consecução dos objetivos da pesquisa, que buscava identificar a percepção de qualidade e a satisfação dos serviços oferecidos pela agência. Utilizou-se uma adaptação da escala tipo Likert, em um instrumento de coleta de dados para analisar a sua percepção. Após a análise dos resultados verificou-se que, de uma forma geral, os usuários da agência estão satisfeitos com os serviços prestados pela agência; os serviços analisados obtiveram como média geral uma nota acima de 4, o que demonstra que a Agência está atingindo os seus objetivos de atender com qualidade e ao mesmo tempo proporcionando satisfação aos seus usuários. Ao final do artigo foram sugeridas melhorias na agência para cada vez mais buscar a excelência no atendimento aos seus usuários.

As diversas sonoridades do grupo de rock brasileiro O Terço: discussões sobre as identidades musicais nos anos 1970
Authors:   Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais-UFMG, Resende Victor Henrique , Assis Ana Claudia de ,   UFMG
Published: August 2018

O artigo apresenta uma proposta analítica das sonoridades construídas pelo grupo brasileiro de rock O Terço, durante a década de 1970. Mostra-se que o grupo em questão não trouxe uma ideia fixa de música, ou melhor, de rock brasileiro. Com diversas influências do gênero rock, e de várias sonoridades já consideradas como parte da música brasileira, os músicos d’O Terço trouxeram suas representações de campo e cidade, tradição e modernidade, elogio ao rock e críticas ao contexto da ditadura civil-militar no Brasil. Tais ideias serão analisadas em algumas canções selecionadas para este estudo. Para tal, propõe-se conjugar as ferramentas metodológicas dos autores Bruce Baugh (1994), Marcos Napolitano (2002), Felipe Trotta (2008) e Paul Friedlander (2012), demonstrando como os elementos musicais estabelecem um jogo dinâmico com seu tempo histórico. Discutem-se, também, algumas teorias e problemáticas sobre identidade, por meio dos estudos de Fredrik Barth (1998), Stuart Hall (1998) e Miguel Alberto Bartolomé (2006). Com estes, procura-se apontar que a identidade é sempre construída dentro de um contexto, sendo, portanto, relacional.
A presença do piano em grupo em instituições de ensino superior no Brasil
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Machado Simone Gorete
Published: August 2018

Este estudo pretende colaborar com o conhecimento a respeito da história do Group Piano e da sua expansão no Brasil, partindo do pressuposto de que, nessa modalidade de ensino-aprendizagem, as linguagens musicais, teórica e prática, interagem de maneira coletiva. No ensino superior, essa modalidade costuma ser ministrada mediante a utilização de vários pianos digitais ou teclados para o aprendizado musical teórico-prático coletivo e é, geralmente, considerada como “Piano em Grupo”. No Brasil, há necessidade de divulgação de informações atualizadas sobre o contexto da presença deste componente curricular nos cursos de graduação em música, apesar da diversidade de nomenclatura que lhe é atribuída. O estudo encontrou e assinala, portanto, algumas características básicas históricas dessa metodologia e comprova sua presença na educação superior brasileira, por meio de um levantamento nacional.
Subsurface biogeochemistry is a missing link between ecology and hydrology in dam-impacted river corridors
Authors: Graham Emily B , Stegen James C , Huang Maoyi , Chen Xingyuan , Scheibe Timothy
Published: August 2018

Global investment in hydropower is rapidly increasing, fueled by a need to manage water availability and by incentives promoting renewable energy sources. This expansion poses unrecognized risks to the world’s vulnerable freshwaters. In particular, subsurface processes are altered by dam operations and may influence river corridor ecosystem health in ways that remain poorly understood. We advocate for a better understanding of dam impacts on subsurface biogeochemical activity, its connection to hydrology, and follow-on trophic cascades within the broader river corridor. We delineate an integrated view of hydropower impacts in which dam-induced changes to surface water flow regimes generate changes in surface-subsurface hydrologic exchange flows (HEFs) that subsequently (1) regulate resource availability for benthic microorganisms at the base of aquatic food webs and (2) impose kinetic constraints on biogeochemical reactions and organismal growth across a range of trophic levels. These HEF-driven effects on river corridor food webs, as mediated by subsurface biogeochemistry, are a key knowledge gap in our assessment of hydropower sustainability and putatively combine with other, more well-known dam impacts to result in significant changes to river corridor health. We suggest targeted laboratory and field-based studies to link hydrobiogeochemical models used to predict heat transport, biogeochemical rates, and hydrologic flow with ecological models that incorporate biomass changes in specific categories of organisms. Doing so will enable predictions of feedbacks among hydrology, temperature, biogeochemical rates, organismal abundances, and resource transfer across trophic levels. An understanding of dam impacts on subsurface hydrobiogeochemistry and its connection to the broader aquatic food web is fundamental to enabling mechanism-based decision making for sustainable hydropower operations.
