Published: October 2020

The dimensions of amorphized regions in phase-change memory cells are critical parameters to design devices for different applications. However, these dimensions are difficult to be determined by direct imaging. In this work, the length of amorphized regions in multiple identical Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) line cells was extracted from electrical measurements. After each cell was programmed to an amorphous state, a sequence of increasing-amplitude post-reset voltage pulses separated by low-amplitude read DC sweeps was applied. When a post-reset voltage pulse with sufficient amplitude was applied to a given cell, the measured current and the post-pulse resistance increased drastically, indicating that the cell re-amorphized after threshold switching, melting, and quenching. The amorphized length was calculated using the measured voltage at which the threshold switching occurred and the expected drifted threshold field at that time. The measured threshold voltage values and, hence, the extracted amorphized length, generally increase linearly with the programmed resistance levels. However, significant variability arises from the intrinsically unique crystallization and amorphization processes in these devices. For example, cells programmed to an amorphous resistance of approx. 50 MΩ show threshold voltage values of 5.5–7.5 V, corresponding to amorphized length values of 290–395 nm. This unpredictable programming feature in phase-change memory devices can be utilized in hardware security applications.
The role of the European ombudsman in protecting the rights of EU citizens and ensuring the good governance of the institutional mechanism of the European Union
Authors: Maryniv Ivanna
Published: October 2020

Formulation of the problem. During the existence of the institution of the European Union Ombudsman, the level of trust of EU citizens in this body as an effective means of protecting the rights and freedoms of individuals and legal entities has significantly increased. This is evidenced by the fact that there is a significant annual increase in the number of cases submitted to the EU Ombudsman, as well as the importance of the issues in which he participates. Today, the EU faces new challenges due to the globalization policies pursued by most EU member states, labor migration and other global processes. In the new conditions, the protection of human rights acquires a fundamentally new meaning. Therefore, the question of the role of the EU Ombudsman in the process of protecting the rights of individuals and monitoring the activities of the authorities is very relevant. At present, it is necessary to reform this body, giving it a wider range of powers that would allow it to perform its tasks more effectively.
The purpose of this article is to study the role of the EU Ombudsman in the process of protection of individual rights and control over the activities of the institutional mechanism, as well as the analysis of amendments to the Statute of the EU Ombudsman to increase his powers.
Article’s main body. The article is devoted to the study of the history of the establishment of the Ombudsman institution with the definition of its legal status. The amendments to the Statute of the EU Ombudsman are analyzed to increase the scope of his powers, as for more than 20 years of activity, this body, without a real possibility to adopt binding acts, exercises “soft power” based on the idea of openness to eliminate violations. In this regard, possible changes to the Statute of the Ombudsman have been explored, which can range from minimal (eg informing the committee responsible instead of submitting a special report to the European Parliament) to more significant ones (including interference in cases involving considered by the Court of Justice). Considerable attention is paid to the practice of the European Ombudsman in ensuring the proper management of the institutional mechanism on the basis of the annual report.
Conclusions. There is a problem of insufficient powers of the European Ombudsman, and therefore, this body is still under development, as evidenced by the adopted European Parliament resolution on amendments related to the growth of the legal status of the EU Ombudsman, in terms of the possibility of adopting mandatory decisions on access to information by EU citizens, as well as the EU Ombudsman’s direct ability to intervene in cases before the General Court.
Some considerations on the application of measures of influence for offenses in the informational field
Authors: Vodoriezova Susanna
Published: October 2020

Problem setting. The article is devoted to the study of general theoretical issues on the peculiarities of the application of measures of influence for offenses in the informational sphere, identifies the types of liability for offenses in the informational sphere.
Target of research. The purpose of this article is to analyze the measures of legal influence for violations of the law in the informational sphere.
Analysis of recent researches and publications. Issues related to the study of the peculiarities of the application of measures of influence for offenses in the informational sphere, were the subject of research by such scientists as: V. V. Belevtseva, A. O. Volkova, I. F. Korzh, V. Ya. Nastyuk, G. M. Pisarenko and others. However, given the rapid development of informational relations, existing approaches to their regulation, including relations on the application of measures of influence in the informational sphere, need to be reconsidered and updated.
Article’s main body. Considering the category of “measures of influence”, it should be emphasized that measures of legal responsibility are only part of the whole system of measures of influence that can be applied to the offender. It should be emphasized that the measures of legal responsibility for their intended purpose are punishable, ie the purpose of their application is to punish the subject for deviation from the lawful conduct provided by law. At the same time, the purpose of applying measures of influence is not only to punish the offender. Measures of influence can be used to restore the violated rights, to ensure the existing state of legal relations before their commission, the cessation of offenses, etc. In fact, the category of “measures of influence” in its content is broader than “legal liability”.
Conclusions and prospects for the development. Тhe intersectoral nature of the current information legislation of Ukraine necessitates further in-depth analysis of measures of influence for offenses in the informational sphere in order to ensure informational security of man, state and society. Specific examples indicate that measures of influence for informational offenses can be divided on the following grounds: a) purpose (security, suspending and punitive); b) values - basic and additional (within a specific coercive measure); c) variability - non-alternative (only a specific measure of influence is envisaged for the relevant offense) and alternative (several coercive measures are envisaged for the commission of a specific offense, the person authorized to apply coercive measures has the opportunity to choose); d) the procedure for application - judicial and extrajudicial.
Legal regulation of «available loans 5-7-9%» in Ukraine
Authors: Tokarieva Kateryna
Published: October 2020

Problem setting. In modern conditions, every country in the world is trying to do everything to develop existing business and improve the conditions for opening a new business, increase attractiveness for foreign investors and attract additional funds to the state economy. In order to achieve a quick and effective outcome, it is considered necessary to address the issues in an integrated manner. The point is that a number of factors that are important for the activities of economic entities and affect the choice of the country in which the new business will be created and investments should be made should be taken into account. In our opinion, it is advisable to include among such important factors: the absence of excessive bureaucratic barriers for entrepreneurs, stable legislation, a flexible tax system, financial support (assistance) to business.
Analysis of recent researches and publications. The study of some aspects of providing state financial support (assistance) to economic entities was carried out by such scientists as: N. M. Vnukova, S. V. Hlibko, A. A. Dmytryk, G. L. Znamensky, D. V. Lichak, Ya. Petrunenko and others. However, given the changes that have taken place in society in connection with the COVID19 pandemic, and the innovations that have been introduced to regulate legal relations in the field of economics, the need for modern research is necessitated. So, the purpose of this publication is to analyze the legal regulation of the provision of “available loans 5-7-9%” in Ukraine.
Article’s main body. It is significant that since the introduction of quarantine, a large number of regulatory legal acts have been adopted in Ukraine aimed at mitigating the consequences of the crisis. In particular, a number of legislative acts have been adopted to amend tax legislation. Also, the standard owner did not ignore the economic legislation in terms of making appropriate adjustments to the legal mechanism for providing financial support to economic entities. In accordance with the Procedure for providing financial state support to micro-entrepreneurs and small businesses one of the forms of support is the provision of loans to business entities.
Conclusions and prospects for the development. Attention is focused on peculiarities of providing financial support to economic entities. The legal mechanism for providing “available loans of 5-7-9%” as a type of financial support for business entities in Ukraine has been disclosed. It was noted that now the introduction of state guarantees on a portfolio basis as a form of state support for economic entities is insufficiently reasoned. The need to improve the legal regulation of the Program 5-7-9% is justified taking into account the positive experience of foreign countries.
The 3-dB FBG bandwidth Characteristics
Authors: K. Hisham Hisham
Published: October 2020

In this paper, the effect of the grating parameters (i.e. gratings length (Lg) and the induced index profile (Δn)); the temperature variation (T) and the applied strain change on the fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) 3dB-bandwidth (i.e. full width-half maximum (FWHM)) have successfully investigated numerically using MATHCAD software. Results show that for Lg < 7 mm, the FBG 3dB-bandwidth (i.e. full width-half maximum (FWHM)) value shows a good reliable and visible impact. Otherwise, there are no significant effects except for increasing the FBG reflectivity. Also, results show that the FWHM value has affected by the change of the Δn value. In contrast, results show that there is no significant effect of the temperature on the FWHM value. Also, results shown that the dependence of the Bragg wavelength (λB) upon both strain and temperature variations is lies within the range of 0.462 – 0.470 fm με-1/C°
Computation of Nonlinear Thermoelectric Effects with Adaptive Methods
Authors: Mohamed Aizuddin , Abdul-Rahman Razi
Published: October 2020

An implementation for a fully automatic adaptive finite element method (AFEM) for computation of nonlinear thermoelectric problems in three dimensions is presented. Adaptivity of the nonlinear solvers is based on the well-established hp-adaptivity where the mesh refinement and the polynomial order of elements are methodically controlled to reduce the discretization errors of the coupled field variables temperature and electric potential. A single mesh is used for both fields and the nonlinear coupling of temperature and electric potential is accounted in the computation of a posteriori error estimate where the residuals are computed element-wise. Mesh refinements are implemented for tetrahedral mesh such that conformity of elements with neighboring elements is preserved. Multiple nonlinear solution steps are assessed including variations of the fixed-point method with Anderson acceleration algorithms. The Barzilai-Borwein algorithm to optimize the nonlinear solution steps are also assessed. Promising results have been observed where all the nonlinear methods show the same accuracy with the tendency of approaching convergence with more elements refining. Anderson acceleration is the most efficient among the nonlinear solvers studied where its total computing time is less than half of the more conventional fixed-point iteration.

RESPONSES TO ANTI-ADBLOCK FILTERS: THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS, INFLUENTIAL FACTORS, AND MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS
Authors: Redondo Ignacio , Aznar Gloria
Published: October 2020

Ad-supported websites face an increasing loss of monetizable ad impressions due to the rapid spread of adblockers, which allow users to get desired website content without unwanted advertising. As a countermeasure, many of these websites use anti-adblock filters, which detect adblock users and prevent their access to website content unless their adblockers are disabled. Users may certainly respond by disabling their adblockers but also by leaving the website or trying to bypass the anti-adblock filter. To better understand the choice among these responses, we propose a conceptual framework that combines psychological reactance theory along with uses and gratifications theory. We also hypothesize the influence of four user-related factors: (a) more positive (negative) attitudes toward online advertising encourage adblocker deactivation (website abandonment); (b) longer adblock usage experiences enable filter bypassing; (c) wider (narrower) scopes of online activities stimulate filter bypassing (website abandonment); and (d) greater online privacy concerns discourage adblocker deactivation. These hypotheses were supported by a survey conducted by the Spanish advertising industry, but the influence of breadth of online activities was negligible in practice. Our findings suggest the importance of improving attitudes toward online advertising, reducing online privacy concerns, and searching for alternative ways to monetize website visits.
JWST Noise Floor. I. Random Error Sources in JWST NIRCam Time Series
Authors: Schlawin Everett , Leisenring Jarron , Misselt Karl , Greene Thomas P. , McElwain Michael W. , Beatty Thomas , Rieke Marcia
Published: October 2020

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) transmission and emission spectra will provide invaluable glimpses of transiting exoplanet atmospheres, including possible biosignatures. This promising science from JWST, however, will require exquisite precision and understanding of systematic errors that can impact the time series of planets crossing in front of and behind their host stars. Here, we provide estimates of the random noise sources affecting JWST Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) time-series data on the integration-to-integration level. We find that 1/f noise can limit the precision of grism time series for two groups (230–1000 ppm depending on the extraction method and extraction parameters), but will average down like the square root of N frames/reads. The current NIRCam grism time-series mode is especially affected by 1/f noise because its GRISMR dispersion direction is parallel to the detector fast-read direction, but could be alleviated in the GRISMC direction. Care should be taken to include as many frames as possible per visit to reduce this 1/f noise source: thus, we recommend the smallest detector subarray sizes one can tolerate, four output channels, and readout modes that minimize the number of skipped frames (RAPID or BRIGHT2). We also describe a covariance-weighting scheme that can significantly lower the contributions from 1/f noise as compared to sum extraction. We evaluate the noise introduced by pre-amplifier offsets, random telegraph noise, and high dark current resistor capacitor (RC) pixels and find that these are correctable below 10 ppm once background subtraction and pixel masking are performed. We explore systematic error sources in a companion paper.
WASP-117 b: An Eccentric Hot Saturn as a Future Complex Chemistry Laboratory
Authors: Anisman Lara O. , Edwards Billy , Changeat Quentin , Venot Olivia , Al-Refaie Ahmed F. , Tsiaras Angelos , Tinetti Giovanna
Published: October 2020

We present spectral analysis of the transiting Saturn-mass planet WASP-117 b, observed with the G141 grism of the Hubble Space Telescope's (HST) Wide Field Camera 3. We reduce and fit the extracted spectrum from the raw transmission data using the open-source software Iraclis before performing a fully Bayesian retrieval using the publicly available analysis suite TauREx 3.0. We detect water vapor alongside a layer of fully opaque cloud, retrieving a terminator temperature of

K. In order to quantify the statistical significance of this detection, we employ the atmospheric detectability index (ADI), deriving a value of ADI = 2.30, which provides positive but not strong evidence against the flat-line model. Due to the eccentric orbit of WASP-117 b, it is likely that chemical and mixing timescales oscillate throughout orbit due to the changing temperature, possibly allowing warmer chemistry to remain visible as the planet begins transit, despite the proximity of its point of ingress to apastron. We present simulated spectra of the planet as would be observed by the future space missions such as the Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey and the James Webb Space Telescope and show that, despite not being able to probe such chemistry with current HST data, these observatories should make it possible in the not too distant future.
Estimating Atmospheric Parameters of DA White Dwarf Stars with Deep Learning
Authors: Yang Yong , Zhao Jingkun , Zhang Jiajun , Ye Xianhao , Zhao Gang
Published: October 2020

The determination of atmospheric parameters of white dwarf stars (WDs) is crucial for researches on them. Traditional methodology is to fit the model spectra to observed absorption lines and report the parameters with the lowest χ
2 error, which strongly relies on theoretical models that are not always publicly accessible. In this work, we construct a deep learning network to model-independently estimate

and log g of DA stars (DAs), corresponding to WDs with hydrogen-dominated atmospheres. The network is directly trained and tested on the normalized flux pixels of full optical wavelength range of DAs spectroscopically confirmed in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Experiments in test yield that the rms error for

and log g approaches 900 K and 0.1 dex, respectively. This technique is applicable for those DAs with

from 5000 to 40,000 K and log g from 7.0 to 9.0 dex. Furthermore, the applicability of this method is verified for the spectra with degraded resolution of ∼200. So it is also practical for the analysis of DAs that will be detected by the Chinese Space Station Telescope.

The extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectra of distant star-forming regions cannot be probed directly using either ground- or space-based telescopes due to the high cross section for interaction of EUV photons with the interstellar medium. This makes EUV spectra poorly constrained. The millimeter/submillimeter recombination lines of H and He, which can be observed from the ground, can serve as a reliable probe of the EUV. Here we present a study based on ALMA observations of three Galactic ultracompact H ii regions and the starburst region Sgr B2(M), in which we reconstruct the key parameters of the EUV spectra using millimeter recombination lines of H i, He i, and He ii. We find that in all cases the EUV spectra between 13.6 and 54.4 eV have similar frequency dependence:

We compare the inferred values of the EUV spectral slopes with the values expected for a purely single stellar evolution model (Starburst99) and the Binary Population and Spectral Synthesis code (BPASS). We find that the observed spectral slope differs from the model predictions. This may imply that the fraction of interacting binaries in H ii regions is substantially lower than assumed in BPASS. The technique demonstrated here allows one to deduce the EUV spectra of star-forming regions, providing critical insight into photon production rates at

, and can serve as calibration to starburst synthesis models, improving our understanding of star formation in the distant universe and the properties of ionizing flux during reionization.
A Multilevel Empirical Bayesian Approach to Estimating the Unknown Redshifts of 1366 BATSE Catalog Long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
Authors: Osborne Joshua A. , Shahmoradi Amir , Nemiroff Robert J.
Published: October 2020

We present a catalog of probabilistic redshift estimates for 1366 individual Long-duration Gamma-ray Bursts (LGRBs) detected by the Burst And Transient Source Experiment (BATSE). This result is based on a careful selection and modeling of the population distribution of 1366 BATSE LGRBs in the five-dimensional space of redshift and the four intrinsic prompt gamma-ray emission properties: the isotropic 1024 ms peak luminosity (

), the total isotropic emission (

), the spectral peak energy (

), as well as the intrinsic duration (

), while carefully taking into account the effects of sample incompleteness and the LGRB-detection mechanism of BATSE. Two fundamental plausible assumptions underlie our purely probabilistic approach: (1) LGRBs trace, either exactly or closely, the cosmic star formation rate, with a possibility of the excess rates of LGRBs in the nearby universe, and (2) the joint four-dimensional distribution of the aforementioned prompt gamma-ray emission properties is well described by a multivariate log-normal distribution. Our modeling approach enables us to constrain the redshifts of individual BATSE LGRBs to within 0.36 and 0.96 average uncertainty ranges at 50% and 90% confidence levels, respectively. Our redshift predictions are completely at odds with the previous redshift estimates of BATSE LGRBs that were computed via the proposed phenomenological high-energy relations, specifically, the apparently strong correlation of LGRBs’ peak luminosity with the spectral peak energy, lightcurve variability, and spectral lag. The observed discrepancies between our predictions and the previous works can be explained by the strong influence of detector threshold and sample incompleteness in shaping these phenomenologically proposed high-energy correlations in the literature. Finally, we also discuss the potential effects of an excess cosmic rate of LGRBs at low redshifts and the possibility of a luminosity evolution of LGRBs on our results.
Distribution, richness and conservation of the genus Salvia (Lamiaceae) in the State of Michoacán, Mexico
Authors: Flores-Tolentino Mayra , Lara-Cabrera Sabina I. , Villaseñor José Luis
Published: October 2020

Little attention has been paid in Mexico to species’ geographical distribution, particularly documenting geographic ranges, as a tool to estimate their conservation status. The objective of this study was to review known species distribution and propose potential and conservation status for Salvia species in Michoacán sState using Ecological Niche Models (ENM). We reviewed taxonomic studies for Salvia in Michoacán to compile an initial species checklist, built upon with recently-described species; all the specimens deposited in the National Herbarium were reviewed. The collection data allowed us to build niche models of Salvia species reported for Michoacán. ENM were generated for the species listed using Maxent. In order to minimise collinearity, environmental variables were selected using a Pearson correlation test. Individual models were statistically evaluated and the potential distribution models for each individual species were stacked to obtain the map of richness potential distribution in the State. A total of 66 species of Salvia are listed for Michoacán; however, ENM could only be constructed for 42 of those with ≥ 5 specimens. The environmental variable that most strongly contributed to the models was annual average temperature. The models estimated that Salvia species occupy an area of 23,541 km2 in the State, 72% in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and a second richest ecoregion is the Sierra Madre del Sur. Although only 3% of the potential distribution area for Salvia in Michoacán is within Protected Areas (PAs), nonetheless, no PA includes rare species. It will therefore be necessary to consider new protection areas or expand existing ones in order to adequately conserve Salvia richness and rarity in the State.

Imperatives for Integrating Culture of Health Concepts Into Nursing Education
Authors: Scott Patricia N. , Davis Ashley , Gray Laura E. , Jeffs Debra A. , Lefler Leanne L.
Published: October 2020

Background:

In all nursing care, nurses should address the social determinants of health that make it difficult for people to lead healthy lives. The Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action recommends transforming nursing education to prepare nurses to address social determinants through building a culture of health. Our study examined integration of culture of health/population health concepts into nursing education and assessed nursing deans' and directors' perceived barriers, facilitators, and readiness to incorporate culture of health into curricula.

Method:

Modified Delphi techniques were used in two neighboring southern states through two rounds of data collection to develop quantitative surveys in each state.

Results:

Consensus emerged on the need to integrate population/culture of health concepts into nursing curricula. Deans and directors described barriers and facilitators to educational integration.

Conclusion:

Population/culture of health concepts must become a fundamental component of nursing education at all educational levels.[J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(11):605–609.]
Outcomes of TeamSTEPPS Training in Prelicensure Health Care Practitioner Programs: An Integrative Review
Authors: Ross Jennifer Gunberg , Meakim Colleen , Hohenleitner Stacy Grant
Published: October 2020

Background:

Patient safety, morbidity, and mortality are directly correlated with interprofessional collaboration among health care practitioners. TeamSTEPPS offers a standardized curriculum for interprofessional teamwork training that can be incorporated into prelicensure education. This article describes the current state of the science related to the quantitative literature exploring the outcomes of TeamSTEPPS training in prelicensure health care practitioner students' education.

Method:

The Whittemore's and Knafl's method guided this integrative review. The CINAHL and PubMed databases were queried and ancestral searches of the reference lists of all retrieved articles were conducted.

Results:

Nine quantitative research studies were identified for inclusion in this integrative review.

Conclusion:

The available literature suggests that using TeamSTEPPS within prelicensure education supports the development of teamwork knowledge and attitudes in interdisciplinary health care practitioner students. Most of the reviewed studies focused on nursing and medical students; thus, further research is needed on allied health care practitioner students.

Co-existent Epicardial Paraganglioma and Anterior Mediastinal Thymoma
Authors: Dudgeon Matthew G , Sonavane Sushilkumar K , Parent Ephraim E , Khoor Andras , Thomas Mathew
Published: October 2020

Thymoma and paraganglioma are known causes of mediastinal masses, the latter being extremely rare. Thymomas arise from remnant thymic tissue in the anterior mediastinum; whereas, thoracic paragangliomas arise from para-aortic or para-vertebral sympathetic chain ganglion (derivatives of embryonic neural crest) in the middle or posterior mediastinum. We report a case of a middle-aged woman with two mediastinal masses, originally believed to be a single tumor or primary malignancy with adjacent metastasis on Computed Tomography (CT) that were further delineated with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and [68Ga]-DOTA-(Tyr3)-octreotate (DOTA-TATE) Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) and surgical pathology as two distinct entities: left epicardial paraganglioma and anterior mediastinal thymoma. A comprehensive discussion of both entities is included.
CARTOGRAFIA E GEOGRAFIA: GOOGLE EARTH COMO METODOLOGIA DE ENSINO
Authors: Feitosa Santos Mayk , Araújo Júnior Antônio Carlos Ribeiro , De Souza Vladimir
Published: October 2020

A busca por metodologias para o ensino de cartografia na disciplina geografia ainda é um desafio a ser superado, visto que a falta de acesso a meios educacionais digitais (tablets, notebooks, desktops etc.) ou lacunas de aprendizagem em séries iniciais corroboram para que o aluno desconheça ou tenha dificuldades de aprendizagem para conceitos básicos da geografia devido ao não contato com conteúdos cartográficos. Neste sentido, são objetivos do presente trabalho, (i) identificar as principais dificuldades que o aluno tem com o uso de terminologias cartográficas em sala de aula e (ii) analisar o uso do software Google Earth como metodologia de ensino de Geografia. A metodologia foi dividida em três etapas, (1) levantamento de materiais bibliográficos, (2) levantamento de materiais primários, consistindo em trabalho de campo, sendo aplicados três questionários de forma aberta, o primeiro - pré-oficina, o segundo - pós-oficina e o terceiro questionário aplicado junto aos professores de Geografia e (3) fase executada em laboratório, com o intuito de sistematizar e analisar os dados obtidos em campo, além da elaboração dos resultados e discussões. A análise dos dados permitiu afirmar que o uso de softwares como Google Earth possibilita ao professor explorar diferentes meios de "ensinar" conteúdos cartográficos inerentes ao ensino de Geografia, bem como estimula o interesse dos alunos para conhecer ferramentas digitais que possibilitam o ensino e a aprendizagem de conceitos a serem utilizados pela ciência geográfica no cotidiano.

A Administração Pública tem empreendido várias formas de modernizar a gestão, e uma dessas inovações é a remuneração estratégica. A busca por uma forma de remuneração que viabilize a recompensa proporcional à competência e ao esforço é um dos grandes desafios. A remuneração por descrição de cargos é a mais comum, no entanto, há alguns exemplos de órgãos que têm inovado na forma de remuneração, considerando a formação e o desempenho dos servidores públicos. Dessa forma, a remuneração variável se coloca como prática indispensável perante este contexto e pode estar atrelada a vários indicadores, no entanto, esse trabalho trata principalmente da remuneração como fator de incentivo ao desempenho e ao desenvolvimento acadêmico-profissional. O texto demonstra qual a influência da remuneração variável no desempenho do servidor público e a importância da recompensa monetária pelo desenvolvimento e qualificação. O trabalho foi feito por meio de revisão de artigos publicados sobre administração, administração pública, formas de remuneração e remuneração estratégica.
OS MOTIVOS DA PERMANÊNCIA DA VÍTIMA NO TRABALHO APÓS O ASSÉDIO MORAL
Authors: SILVA Victor Vieira , NAKATA Lina Eiko
Published: October 2020

O artigo tem como objetivo conhecer e compreender os motivos pelos quais as pessoas que foram vítimas do assédio moral no trabalho continuaram na organização. O assédio moral pode ser entendido como comportamentos perversos e intencionais praticados por alguém que visa desqualificar outra pessoa ou grupo, causando danos à sua dignidade, impactando as relações de trabalho. Trata-se de um fenônemo intimamente relacionado ao ambiente em que ocorre, uma vez que as organizações fazem e reproduzem um contexto onde a competitividade é necessária para se atingir os objetivos organizacionais, o que legitima qualquer comportamento que se tenha em busca desses objetivos. Em relação aos procedimentos metodológicos da pesquisa, adotou-se uma abordagem quantitiva e de caráter descritivo, utilizando um questionário on-line como instrumento para a coleta de dados. A amostra final foi de 100 respondentes válidos, obtidos por conveniência. Os resultados mostram que os principais motivos que levaram a permanência das vítimas no trabalho onde sofreram assédio moral foram o salário e o medo de ficar muito tempo desempregado. Assim, considera-se que a permanência dos respondentes, vítimas do assédio moral, esteve relacionada ao contexto do trabalho, cujos motivos possibilitam a satisfação de necessidades básicas desses indivíduos.
O fracasso idealizado: reescrevendo a Vita Anskarii no liber I das Gesta Hammaburgensis de Adam de Bremen.
Authors: Grzybowski Lukas Gabriel
Published: October 2020

O presente artigo aborda o problema do fracasso da cristianização da Escandinávia nos séculos iniciais da missão, especialmente entre a segunda metade do século IX e início do século X, a partir da narrativa apresentada por Adam de Bremen († depois de 1080). O trabalho parte de uma abordagem ligada à Vorstellungsgeschichte, uma proposta originada no contexto historiográfico alemão no intuito de incorporar as contribuições da reflexão antropológica nas análises históricas referentes ao troisième niveau. Nesse sentido, a narrativa de Adam é analisada primeiramente enquanto testemunho da visão de mundo de seu autor, sendo o conteúdo narrado entendido como plataforma para a expressão das ideias do cônego bremense. Destacam-se as estratégias utilizadas pelo historiógrafo medieval para lidar com acontecimentos delicados na história da diocese e seus catedráticos enaltecidos na obra de Adam. A forma como ele trabalha os fracassos e retrocessos, assim como opõe a esses os sucessos da empresa missionária refletem principalmente os problemas enfrentados por Hamburgo-Bremen no século XI. A visão retrospectiva apresenta-se como potencial-legitimadora das ações contemporâneas à composição da obra.
Political ecology at the frontiers of knowledge and power in a traditionally occupied territory: the know-how of coconut breakers in the amazon
Authors: Costa Jodival Maurício , Shiraishi Neto Joaquim
Published: October 2020

This article aims is to promote debate for scientific thinking about the role of political ecology in the decoloniality of knowledge and power in the Amazon region. The work is divided into two parts: the first part discusses the expansion of modernity to the South and the construction of modern coloniality; in the second, we bring the experience of the babassu coconut breakers, in view of the construction of a “nature-world”, the result of the colonization and globalization processes. The current moment expresses an intensification of conflicts involving different ways of representing and using the nature of these communities. The methodology uses the concepts of political ecology, pluriverse, well-being and decoloniality as bases for the idea of a nature in Amazonian communities that constitutes a conflict with the “nature-world”, which is based on the logic of the resource as the material substrate of a market economy.
Cross-border integration and social representation: the binational bridge and the boatman on the Franco-Brazilian border
Authors: Pellegrino Correa Paulo Gustavo , Philippe Dhenin Miguel Patrice
Published: October 2020

This paper discusses cross-border projects and their respective social representations to local groups. We present as a case study the boatmen who pilot their boats between Brazil and France on the construction of the Binational Bridge. Catraieiros are currently responsible for much of the logistics between Amapá and French Guiana. Our theoretical framework is based on the literature on Regional Integration and Social Representation. We applied interviews to one third of the catraieiros. We concluded that in the Subject-Representation-Object relationship, the group that understood itself as responsible for the dialogue between two cities built a negative and threatening representation on the Bridge.
"Aqui começa o Brasil”: penal colonization, territorialization and border construction of the Oyapock river. 1853-1927
Authors: Samuel Tracol  , Arnaud-Dominique Houte
Published: October 2020

The Oyapock River has been the border between France and Brazil since the Treaty of Bern came to resolve a centuries-old dispute between the two states. Only populated by indigenous communities and a few adventurers, the two banks of the river are untouched by any lasting colonial and national settlement before the second half of the 19th century. Penal colonization is the formula adopted by the two states to fill the "void" of a border to be formalized. The criminal models circulate and are reinterpreted by participating with great intensity in the making of the territory.

Il rischio calcolato e la relazione con l’assistito: aspetto ambivalente della medicina
Authors: Bignamini Angelo A.
Published: October 2020

I medici ed i loro assistiti sono sottoposti a pressioni perché venga regolarmente valutato il rischio di patologie future e vengano applicate misure di prevenzione primaria e secondaria. Si rilevano alcuni problemi relativi a questa politica, che investono l’affidabilità degli algoritmi e la difficoltà a raggiungere gli obiettivi fissati. A partire dall’osservazione di dati reali da uno studio osservazionale, viene discusso l’impatto sulla giustificazione etica dei meccanismi di screening di popolazione, dell’applicazione sistematica delle misure di prevenzione raccomandate dalle linee guida, e più in generale sulla cosiddetta “cultura della prevenzione”.

I punti critici evidenziati sono la necessità di considerare che il singolo soggetto non è il rappresentante medio della popolazione, ma un soggetto individuale con caratteristiche, bisogni, e sensibilità proprie; la consapevolezza che la prevenzione può essere efficace sulla popolazione ma non necessariamente sul singolo; la presa di coscienza che gli obiettivi da raggiungere per la riduzione del rischio devono essere raggiungibili nella realtà mettendo in gioco la libertà-responsabilità del soggetto al di là delle raccomandazioni delle linee guida, e che comunque non può garantire un esito favorevole.

Viene infine sottolineato che l’insistenza sulle misure di prevenzione sono anche l’espressione della perdita del senso del limite al diritto alla vita e alla tutela della salute, cioè un’espressione del rifiuto del significato della malattia e della morte.
La Deontologia medica all’inizio del ’900: i principi del primo Codice italiano
Authors: Oppes Mario
Published: October 2020

Il Codice di Etica e di Deontologia dell’Ordine dei medici della provincia di Sassari, pubblicato nel 1903, rappresenta il primo esempio in Italia di Codice di deontologia medica. A cento anni di distanza dalla sua promulgazione appare interessante valutare i principi in esso contenuti e confrontarli con quelli inseriti nei successivi codici. Attraverso il percorso storico della deontologia è possibile infatti comprendere il significato che essa ha avuto nel determinare i comportamenti dei medici nell’esercizio della professione, ma soprattutto si può scoprire, il vero significato da attribuire alla deontologia stessa. Infatti negli ultimi trent’anni, con l’avvento della bioetica, si è assistito ad una vera e propria crisi della deontologia che ha portato persino alla perdita di una concezione condivisa del suo significato all’interno della categoria professionale dei medici.

Dall’analisi del testo del codice emerge la sottolineatura del dovere di ottenere il consenso del paziente per ogni atto operativo, inattesa per quei tempi, caratterizzati da un rapporto medico-paziente di tipo paternalistico. Vi è inoltre un ripetuto richiamo alla necessità di curare tutti i malati con lo stesso impegno, indipendentemente dalla classe sociale di appartenenza, e ciò assume particolare rilevanza se si considera che all’epoca non esisteva un servizio sanitario nazionale in grado di garantire uniformi livelli di assistenza. In gran parte del codice ci si sofferma poi ai rapporti fra colleghi e negli articoli dedicati a tale problematica si evidenzia una particolare sensibilità verso la correttezza fra professionisti, oggi decisamente disattesa, tanto che tale esigenza non trova particolari sottolineature nell’ultimo codice nazionale.

Infine è significativo il richiamo esplicito a tutti gli associati al rispetto delle regole deontologiche, pena la comminazione di sanzioni disciplinari e ciò assume particolare rilevanza se si pensa che cento anni fa gli Ordini dei medici non avevano ancora ottenuto il riconoscimento giuridico, che arriverà solo nel 1910.
