The success of higher education institutions can be seen from several indicators. One of the indicators is the institutions that can produce outputs and outcomes with the competence in relation to the needs of society. The graduates’ academic achievement can be described through their grade point average (GPA). There were 79 graduates who got Cum Laude predicate at the Department of Islamic Studies, IAIN Imam Bonjol Padang in the 1st Period of graduation which was held on August to September and in the 2nd period on March, from the academic year of 2011 to 2015. The lowest GPA was 3.50 while the highest GPA was 3.93. The graduates who got Cum Laude have worked in several fields of jobs; such as Islamic Religion teachers, staffs in government offices, banks, and political parties both in West Sumatra and out of Sumatra. The study showed that there is no significant contribution of GPA with their career. It implied that GPA will not determine the graduate career either as a teacher on Islamic studies or as a teacher on social science and civics education.

Published: August 2018

The aim of the study is to investigate the pros and cons of standing while working and studying. A qualitative research was employed where the data taken from education practitioners and students interested to learn and support the introduction of standing desks. The finding of the study show that students and sedentary workers now spend up to 85% of their waking hours,(+/-13.5 hrs/day), sitting viz: sitting at meals, sitting in transportation, sitting in schools or offices, sitting watching TV or looking at a handphone or an i-pad plus sitting whilst watching sport or playing computer games. Even if standing in classes became the default behaviour in all classes it could only result in a maximum of about 20 extra hours of standing per week during semesters and thus could only reduce the amount of time spent sitting by a maximum of 14% of waking hours to 71% of waking hours. The height of Standing Desks should be at the elbow height of the  person concerned ie about 1.00m for senior high school and university students and adults. For primary school students the desk height for the standing desk is about 75cm – ie. the same as the desk height for normal sitting desks for adults. The study also did a small survey of educators, 66% of whom would support the introduction of  standing desks.  Finally the study found that 72 % of the students and their teacher supported the introduction of standing desks. It is hoped that some schools and offices will take the initiative to introduce standing desks on a larger scale.

Published: August 2018

This study was designed and aimed at identifying the awareness and practices of multicultural awareness among primary school teachers in Malaysia. It attempts to identify their awareness of multicultural concept when dealing with their students and staffs at their school. This awareness was measured by three variables: awareness, knowledge and skills. A number of 41 questions which inquired about the three variables were distributed randomly to 50 primary school teachers in Malaysia. These teachers were from three ethic types of primary schools: Tamil, Chinese and Malay primary schools. The reason for choosing the three different mainstream schools was because they represented the main different multicultural practices in the country. From these participants, five teachers were selected for further interviews to obtain richer data. The findings revealed that the awareness of multicultural education among primary school teachers was still at the medium level. Thus, this study suggests that there should be a multicultural awareness campaign at all schools in Malaysia in order to ensure that each student, no matter from what backgrounds they are from, feel they are part of the Malaysian society as a whole. The study also found that the awareness should start from the home, environment and peer and through parental guidance because school is a bridge between home and the society that will form one Malaysian society to achieve vision 2020.

Resumo Este estudo avaliou as relações entre níveis de depressão, ansiedade e regulação emocional em 47 mulheres com experiência de violência conjugal. Também, foi investigada a gravidade das situações de violência e os níveis das agressões sofridas e perpetradas pelas mulheres. Por fim, foi investigado se há diferenças nos sintomas de depressão, ansiedade e regulação emocional nas mulheres que relataram sofrer violência e aquelas que identificaram sofrer e perpetrar violência. Os resultados indicaram sintomas leves de ansiedade e moderados de depressão e de desregulação emocional entre as participantes, e foram verificadas correlações positivas significativas entre tais sintomas. A comparação entre os grupos de mulheres que sofreram violência e aquelas que sofreram e perpetraram violência não indicou diferença nos níveis de depressão, ansiedade e regulação emocional.

Published: August 2018

RESUMO: Objetivos: Analisar a tendência da mortalidade na população brasileira de 5 a 69 anos, utilizando a “Lista Brasileira de Causas de Mortes Evitáveis”. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo ecológico de séries temporais da taxa de mortalidade padronizada por causas evitáveis e não evitáveis no período de 2000 a 2013, com correções para as causas mal definidas e o sub-registro de óbitos informados. Resultados: Evidenciou-se declínio da taxa de mortalidade na população de 5 a 69 anos residente no Brasil por causas evitáveis (1,6% ao ano) e não evitáveis (1,4% ao ano), além de queda em todos os grupos de causas de mortes evitáveis no período 2000 - 2013. O estudo chama atenção para o aumento dos óbitos por causas específicas, como a pneumonia (1,9% ao ano) e os acidentes de transporte (0,6% ao ano), além de estabilidade para óbitos por agressões e lesões autoprovocadas intencionalmente. As mortes por doenças não transmissíveis reduziram 2,2% ao ano e foram mais elevadas na faixa etária de 60 a 69 anos em 2013 (209,9/100.000 hab. para as mortes por doenças isquêmicas do coração; 157,2/100.000 hab. para as doenças cerebrovasculares; e 116,8/100.000 hab. para o diabetes). Conclusão: As taxas de mortes evitáveis ainda são elevadas, principalmente para as doenças não transmissíveis e as causas externas. Essas causas de morte são sensíveis às intervenções de promoção da saúde e, portanto, este estudo reforça a necessidade de manter o foco nessas causas de adoecimento e de morte, além dos seus fatores de risco.

Published: August 2018

Resumo Este estudo teve como principal objetivo analisar as políticas de recursos humanos em saúde nos hospitais estaduais gerenciados por organizações sociais de saúde no Espírito Santo. Para tal, efetuou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, elegendo-se como campo de investigação as organizações sociais que gerenciam hospitais públicos no estado. Na coleta de dados, buscaram-se as normativas e os contratos de gestão firmados entre 2008 e 2016 e realizaram-se entrevistas individuais com os gestores de recursos humanos das instituições participantes. Na análise dos materiais de campo, lançou-se mão da técnica de análise de conteúdo, sendo eleitas cinco categorias empíricas de análise dos contratos: modelo de vínculo empregatício, permissão de contratação de pessoa jurídica, percentual de gastos com pessoal, procedimento de contratação de pessoal, metas relativas à gestão de pessoas. As entrevistas foram analisadas pelas unidades de significação como proposto por Kvale. Os resultados demonstraram que os contratos omitem informações exigidas legalmente e possuem aditivos em demasia. As práticas de gestão de pessoas são próprias de empresas privadas, atendendo a algumas orientações do trabalho em saúde, contudo não referenciando o Sistema Único de Saúde. Adotam métodos divergentes das regras do concurso público e da não precarização do trabalho.

Vegetation indices in the prediction of biomass and grain yield of white oat under irrigation levels
Authors: Coelho Anderson Prates , Rosalen David Luciano , Faria Rogério Teixeira de
Published: August 2018

ABSTRACT Vegetation indices are widely used to indicate the nutritional status of crops, as well as to estimate their harvest yield. However, their accuracy is influenced by the phenological stage of evaluation and the index used. The present study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Inverse Ratio Vegetation Index (IRVI) in the prediction of grain yield and biomass of white oat cultivated under irrigation levels, besides indicating the best phenological stage for evaluation. The irrigation levels consisted of 11 %, 31 %, 60 %, 87 % and 100 % of the maximum evapotranspiration, with four replicates. The mean values for NDVI and IRVI were determined using an active terrestrial sensor, at four phenological stages (4, 8, 10 and 10.5.4). The white oat grain yield and biomass may be estimated with a high precision using the NDVI and IRVI. The NDVI was more accurate than the IRVI. The grain yield estimate was more accurate from the flag leaf sheath appearance stage (10), whereas, for the biomass, the best estimate was for the kernel watery ripe stage (10.5.4).

Published: August 2018

ABSTRACT In order to increase the yield of vegetables of agronomic interest, heterosis has been studied in view of the superiority of hybrids, if compared to genotypes obtained by free pollination. This study aimed to estimate the relative heterosis in watermelon hybrids, regarding the most important agronomic traits, in order to develop future cultivars. The genotypes 'JNY', 'ORA', 'KOD', 'SOL', 'CHG', 'PEA' and all hybrids among them were used, totaling 36 treatments. A randomized block design, with three replications and five-plant plots, was used. The genotypes 'ORA', 'SOL', 'CHG' and 'PEA' were promising for the development of watermelon hybrids with higher weight, whereas 'JNY' and 'KOD' provided combinations with lower fruit weight and smaller seeds, indicating their potential for the development of cultivars of the 'ice box' type. The hybrids 'CHG x ORA' and 'ORA x CHG' were promising to meet the market demand for larger fruits, while 'KOD x JNY' and 'JNY x KOD' could be targeted to the market of smaller fruits.

ABSTRACT Guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) is commonly grown in arid lands, because of its high drought-tolerance. However, soil compaction may be a limiting factor to its growth. This study aimed to evaluate the guar growth, according to the soil penetration resistance (0.20 MPa, 0.33 MPa, 0.50 MPa, 0.93 MPa and 1.77 MPa, in a layer with depth between 0.15 m and 0.20 m), in a Rhodic Acrudox soil. The shoot and root dry mass, root length by the Q1/2 index (mechanical soil penetration resistance in which the root growth is reduced by 50 %) and root diameter were evaluated. The impairment of the guar shoot growth begins when the penetration resistance is greater than around 1 MPa. The soil compaction alters the distribution of guar roots in the soil profile, concentrating them in the 0.15 m layer, but it does not prevent roots from penetrating this layer and developing in depth. The root diameter increases in the compacted layer. A soil penetration resistance of up to 1.77 MPa does not influence the root length density below the compacted layer, as well as the total root length density of guar. Although the guar Q1/2 index is greater than 1.58, the shoot and root dry mass are impaired.

RESUMO Com o aumento da demanda e a crise hídrica em muitos países, a gestão de perdas em sistemas de abastecimento de água mostra-se relevante em todos os serviços de água. Esta pesquisa propôs-se a construir um modelo de avaliação de desempenho para apoiar uma empresa de saneamento quanto à gestão de perdas nos sistemas de abastecimento de água que opera. Para tanto, baseou-se na Metodologia Multicritério de Apoio à Decisão - Construtivista (MCDA-C). A construção do modelo seguiu as três fases do MCDA-C: estruturação, avaliação e recomendações. Na fase de estruturação, foram construídos 64 descritores, distribuídos em quatro áreas de preocupação: perdas aparentes, perdas reais, apoio operacional e relacionamento externo. Ao final da fase de avaliação, o status quo do sistema de abastecimento de água estudado foi de 22,51, considerado, pelo decisor, no nível competitivo. Foram elaboradas recomendações de ações para melhorar o desempenho do status quo para aqueles descritores que apresentaram desempenho comprometedor e que foram julgados pelo decisor como merecedores de aperfeiçoamento. As recomendações simuladas em conjunto foram importantes para a melhora no desempenho em todas as áreas de preocupação, resultando no desempenho global de 60,82. Assim, a metodologia MCDA-C mostrou-se coerente para os temas abordados nesta pesquisa e confirmou suas premissas construtivistas em todas as suas fases aqui desenvolvidas: estruturação, avaliação e recomendações.

RESUMO Este artigo apresenta um modelo para avaliação da gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos por meio do uso de indicadores que pode tanto ser aplicado em municípios como em regiões para efeito de comparabilidade da gestão, no que tange à sustentabilidade, ao desempenho, à eficiência e à eficácia. Para a construção do modelo, levaram-se em consideração lacunas identificadas no contexto brasileiro em propostas levantadas por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, de que foram selecionados, adaptados ou elaborados indicadores passíveis de mensuração, quer por intermédio de dados primários, quer mediante dados secundários. Observou-se que o modelo em questão se mostra como uma ferramenta importante para a gestão pública municipal, uma vez que identifica os setores mais deficitários da gestão de resíduos, direcionados à tomada de decisão, assim como os recursos financeiros para investimento e melhoramento do setor.

RESUMO O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos por meio da aplicação do modelo de gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos sustentável (MGRSUS) desenvolvido e aplicado em municípios que compõem a Região Metropolitana de Campina Grande (RMCG). O referido modelo é composto de 46 indicadores, 15 categorias de análise e quatro dimensões e estruturado por dados primários e secundários. Para a obtenção dos dados, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas e visitação in loco, além do levantamento bibliográfico e documental. Com base nos dados, verificou-se que os municípios de menor porte apresentam maiores problemas na gestão dos resíduos, o que pode estar relacionado ao fato de não possuírem uma equipe técnica para a execução dos serviços, o que reflete diretamente na qualidade ambiental urbana. Desse modo, o MGRSUS foi considerado satisfatório para os fins aos quais se propôs, haja vista foi possível traçar um panorama da gestão de cada município, possibilitando o direcionamento de ações específicas para cada lacuna identificada.

Published: August 2018

This present study aims to analyse and describe features of L1 interference in oral communication by PIBBI Participants of Level 5 who enrolled in an intensive language program at LTC, SWCU. The data were collected by giving oral tasks when describing something, giving opinion and explaining how things work. A stimulated recall interview proposed by Dornyei (2007) was used to explore the findings in detail. The analysis presents the type of grammatical interferences, the frequency of occurrence of each interference type and their detailed description. Analysis of data revealed that students in high level still experience grammatical interferences in producing Indonesian speech. It is hoped that this study will give a better suggestion for the advanced foreign language learners and provide information for teachers on common interferences in language learning which can be used as a reference in developing the teaching materials.
