Finansinių ataskaitų informacijos kokybės užtikrinimo beieškant: nuo bendrų principų iki neuroapskaitos
Authors: Guptor Marina , Rudžionienė Kristina
Published: September 2018

[only abstract in English; full article and abstract in Lithuanian]

The aim of the article is to study the relationship between neuroscience and financial accounting, the fundamental aspects of decision-making and decision-making by accounting specialists from the perspective of neuroscience. Methods: conceptual, critical, systematic analysis of scientific literature, comparison and generalization.

Properly grouped and presented information in the financial statements conveys a clear and understandable picture about an entity that has to reduce the level of entropy (uncertainty) of its users. The financial statements are prepared by accounting specialists, and it is therefore important that they, when preparing their reports, would replicate the details of economic events and economic facts as accurately the information of reports.

Scientific literature does not have a common definition of the “quality of accounting information”, but the concept of the quality of financial statements can be considered in the context of their normative regulation. In this case, compliance with the basic accounting principles in the preparation of financial statements must ensure the quality of the reports. The results of the research carried out in Lithuania revealed that the overall average of the financial statements is 50-59%. The quality of financial reports is influenced by not only compliance with the general principles, but also the human factor.

Neuroaccounting - the subcategory of neuroscience - is a new trend in the modern behavioural accounting based on the research of the activity of neurons involved in the human decision-making process. Neuroaccounting is a new way for scientific evaluation of accounting, and research results are important both for investors who analyse financial statements, for auditors who perform audit tasks, and for accountants, who record business events, analyse and reflect transactions, formation of budget and perform other accounting tasks. Neuroscience research methods can also be valuable in conducting research and determining how the brain of accounting specialists can resolve conflicts arising from the adoption of one or another decisions related to the presentation of economic transactions in accounting, their assessment as well as presentation of information about them in financial statements.

Relacje między polityką i administracją w procesie tworzenia służby cywilnej w Polsce. Perspektywa nowego instytucjonalizmu
Authors: Gadowska Kaja
Published: September 2018

Civil service is an important element in the system of public administration and has a major impact on a state’s manner of functioning. The creation of civil service in Poland was intended to ensure that the public administration performed its duties in a professional and impartial manner, unhindered by special political interests. The aim of the paper is to analyze the process of creating civil service in Poland after 1989, and to show how, in practice, from the beginning of the transformation and under the governments of successive political groups, a division was formed between the political and administrative spheres, and to what degree the actual relations between politics and public administration ref lect the formal regulations contained in civil service acts. The paper concentrates in particular on personnel policy in regard to senior positions in civil service, because these appointments are connected with assuming control of decision making processes and human resource policy in administrative offices. In the research, various complementary qualitative and quantitative methods were used. Multidimensional analysis of the data leads to the conclusion that political parties in Poland strive to limit the autonomy of the government administration and to make it subordinate to their interests. The legislation in the area of civil service has been largely subjugated to the political interest of the moment, and not to the long-term interest of the state. The use of neo-institutional perspective helps to identify the reasons behind the adoption of specific legal measures and to show their actual effects.

Published: September 2018

To verify the prevalence of use, purchase and sources of iron salts and vitamins by children aged from 0 to 12 years in Brazil. Population-based transversal study (Brazilian National Survey on Access, Utilization, and Promotion of Rational Use of Medicines - PNAUM), including 7,528 children up to 12 years of age. Information was obtained through questionnaires answered by the children’s tutors, about the use of iron salts and vitamins 15 days before the interview; forms of financing, and sources of obtainment, sociodemographic characteristics, and presence of chronic disease. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed and the main variables were expressed by relative frequencies and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). The prevalence of use of iron salts was 1.6% (95%CI: 1.2-2.1), with higher prevalence among children under 1 year old (8.5%; 95%CI: 6.3-11.5) and residents of the southeastern region (2.3%; 95%CI: 1.5-3.4). Prevalence of use of vitamins was 4.8% (95%CI: 4.2-5.6), with higher prevalence among children under 1 year old (24.3%; 95%CI: 20.3-28.7) and residents of the northern region (8.6%; 95%CI: 6.2-11.7). Purchase occurred by direct reimbursement for 41.6% (95%CI: 27.9-56.7) of the iron salts, and for 82.4% (95%CI: 76.3-87.2) of the vitamins. The iron salts were predominantly obtained from SUS pharmacies (51.5%; 95%CI: 36.4-66.4), and the vitamins from commercial pharmacies (80.6%; 95%CI: 77.4-85.6). The results suggested the use of iron salts in the Brazilian pediatric population was low, with reduction in use as age increased, regional differences and free-of-charge obtainment, predominantly from SUS.
¿GOBERNANZA Y NUEVA GESTIÓN PÚBLICA PARA LA PAZ? NOTAS SOBRE EL PROCESO DE IMPLEMENTACIÓN DEL ACUERDO FINAL EN COLOMBIA
Authors: Puello-Socarrás José Francisco
Published: September 2018

RESUMEN El artículo reflexiona sobre dos dimensiones (relativamente) desatendidas dentro de los análisis actuales sobre el proceso de la implementación del Acuerdo Final de Paz en Colombia: la gobernanza y la nueva gestión pública. Interroga los inconvenientes de prorrogar los ajustes y reformas institucionales acordadas entre el Gobierno colombiano y la antigua guerrilla de las FARC-EP (hoy, el partido político: la Fuerza Alternativa Revolucionaria del Común, FARC), en los niveles gubernativo y organizacional estatales, problematizando las situaciones y las condiciones requeridas para lograr el propósito dentro de la etapa de transición en el país, desde los escenarios de la guerra hacia los de la Paz y su construcción estable y duradera. Previene sobre la virtual ‘disonancia cognitiva’ del status quo como la impronta del régimen socioeconómico y sistema político colombianos, y la inconveniencia de mantener los formatos pro-neoliberales que obstaculizan la apertura hacia procesos de socialización y democratización en Colombia para el período pos-acuerdo.
Effectiveness of auriculotherapy on anxiety during labor: a randomized clinical trial
Authors: Mafetoni Reginaldo Roque , Rodrigues Mariana Haddad , Jacob Lia Maristela da Silva , Shimo Antonieta Keiko Kakuda
Published: September 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of auriculotherapy on the anxiety of women during labor. Method: this is a randomized, parallel, triple-blind clinical trial. 102 parturients with gestational age ≥ 37 weeks, cervical dilatation ≥ 4 cm and two or more contractions in 10 min were selected and randomly assigned into three groups to receive auriculotherapy, placebo or control (routine care). Auriculotherapy was applied with crystal microspheres to the shenmen, uterus, neurasthenia area and endocrine points, and anxiety was assessed by the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A). Analyzes were performed using the Kruskal-Wallis, Generalized estimating equations, Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests. Results: the groups showed no significant difference at baseline according to the HAM-A. After the intervention there was a significant increase in HAM-A scores at 120 min in the placebo versus auriculotherapy group (mean difference (MD) 3.62, confidence interval (CI) 0.42-6.81, p=0.0265) and control versus auriculotherapy group (MD 4.88, CI 1.87-7.88, p=0.0015). Conclusion: the parturients with auriculotherapy presented lower levels of anxiety according to the HAM-A score after the treatment when compared to the women from the other groups; this can represent alternative care in obstetric practice.

Published: September 2018

Resumo Olhando para a carta de nuclídeos como apresentada no endereço web da Agência Internacional de Energia Atômica (IAEA) [1] – que, presume-se, contém todos os nuclídeos conhecidos, naturais e artificiais – constata-se a existência de duas linhas limítrofes, que são as fronteiras dos constituintes da matéria. Admite-se que os átomos mais leves foram formados num processo de nucleossíntese no interior de estrelas enquanto que os mais pesados se formaram na implosão de uma “estrela velha”, uma supernova, ou na fusão de duas estrelas de nêutrons. Usando a fórmula semiempírica de massa para os núcleos atômicos, juntamente com a relação de incerteza energia-tempo, mostramos que as linhas limítrofes assim calculadas apresentam uma apreciável concordância quando comparadas com aquelas obtidas dos conjuntos de nuclídeos que se encontram “mais afastados” do vale da estabilidade, ou seja, nas fronteiras dos constituintes da matéria. Também discutimos brevemente, de forma qualitativa, o que se sabe acerca dos processos astrofísicos de nucleogênese dos núcleos pesados e sua relação com as linhas limítrofes.
Comportamento do Consumidor em Canais Cruzados: Modelo de Mediação-Moderada nas Compras Online/Offline
Authors: Okada Sionara , Porto Rafael
Published: September 2018

Resumo As novas tecnologias móveis com acesso à internet têm propiciado o surgimento de um novo processo de compra dos consumidores. Esse processo influencia tanto as compras online quanto as offline (em lojas físicas), a depender do produto a ser adquirido. Teorias de aprendizagem comportamental, como as relações entre precorrentes e correntes, podem explicar esse novo repertório comportamental. O presente estudo testou a mediação do Comportamento em Canais Cruzados (CCC) na relação entre a adoção de dispositivos móveis com acesso à internet e a frequência de compra nos canais online e offline, moderada pelo tipo de bem (durável versus não durável). Com delineamento quase experimental, os dados foram analisados por Modelagem de Equação Estrutural. Os resultados demonstram que a adoção de tecnologias móveis com internet incentivou as dimensões do CCC (busca de informação simultânea, comparação de produtos e preços, e interação com o varejista/fabricante), com maior força para bens não duráveis, e que cada dimensão do CCC altera a frequência de compras online e offline, porém, o efeito específico depende do tipo do bem. A pesquisa analisa o processo de adoção de novas tecnologias geradoras destes novos comportamentos, e que os mesmos incentivam a frequência de compra.
Anca-associated crescentic glomerulonephritis in a child with isolated renal involvement
Authors: Çelakıl Mehtap Ezel , Yücel Burcu Bozkaya , Özod Umay Kiraz , Bek Kenan
Published: September 2018

ABSTRACT Pauci-immune glomerulonephritis (GN) is more common in elderly people compared to children and the etiology is not completely understood yet. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positivity occurs in 80% of the patients. We report a case of a 7-year-old girl who presented with malaise and mildly elevated creatinine diagnosed as ANCA-associated pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis with crescents in 20 of 25 glomeruli (80%). Of these 20 crescents, 12 were cellular, 4 fibrocellular, and 4 globally sclerotic. She did not have purpura, arthritis, or systemic symptoms and she responded well to initial immunosuppressive treatment despite relatively severe histopathology. The patient was given three pulses of intravenous methylprednisolone (30 mg/kg on alternate days) initially and continued with cyclophosphamide (CYC; 2 mg/kg per day) orally for 3 months with prednisone (1 mg/kg per day). In one month, remission was achieved with normal serum creatinine and prednisone was gradually tapered. The case of this child with a relatively rare pediatric disease emphasizes the importance of early and aggressive immunosuppressive treatment in patients with renal-limited ANCA-associated pauci-immune crescentic GN even if with a mild clinical presentation. As in our patient, clinical and laboratory findings might not always exactly reflect the severity of renal histopathology and thus kidney biopsy is mandatory in such children to guide the clinical management and predict prognosis.
Verification of the flexion and shear behavior in masonry panels accordance to ABNT NBR 15961-1 (2011), EN 1996-1-1 (2005) and ACI TMS 530 (2013)

Published: September 2018

Abstract This paper presents a numerical analysis of the mechanical behavior of structural masonry panels submitted to horizontal and vertical stresses. To evaluate the design process of these structures, the results obtained by the computer simulations were compared with the results determined by the design criteria of ABNT NBR 15961-1 (2011), ACI TMS 530 (2013) and EN 1996-1-1 (2005). The finite element software DIANA v.9.3 was used to simulate two-dimensional models with the simplified micro modelling procedure. The results obtained by the normative standards were more conservative than the results of the numerical model, as expected. With the increase of the pre-compression level, the computer simulation has demonstrated the increasing trend of the values of resistant forces, besides the change of the way of rupture of the panels. Among the three standards evaluated, the American Standard was the most conservative.

Aetiological doctrines and prevalence of pellagra: 18th century to middle 20th century
Authors: Viljoen Margaretha , Bipath Priyesh , Roos Johannes L.
Published: September 2018

Pellagra is characterised by dermatological, gastrointestinal and neuropsychiatric manifestations. Millions contracted the disease and hundreds of thousands died between the time it was first recorded until pellagra was finally recognised as a niacin-deficiency disease. Pellagra became epidemic when maize, with its limited bio-availability of nutrients such as niacin and tryptophan, became the staple food in the near-monophagic diets of the impoverished and institutionalised. By the mid-20th century, pellagra was all but eradicated in large parts. The decline in prevalence can largely be ascribed to a better understanding of the link between nutrition and disease, improvements in socio-economic conditions of workers and food enrichment. We briefly review aetiological doctrines on pellagra and the global spread of the disease from the early 18th century until the middle of the 20th century. In the final analysis, we examine the reasons for, and the legitimacy of, the persistent association between pellagra and the consumption of maize.

 Significance:

Almost two centuries have elapsed since the first description of pellagra and its general acceptance as a nutritional-deficiency disease.

The link between maize and pellagra is primarily a reflection of the nutritional inadequacies of a near monophagic diet over-dependent on a grain deficient in bioavailable niacin and tryptophan.

We refute the concept of nixtamalisation as the main reason for the apparent absence of pellagra in early pre-Columbian North American, Mesoamerican and South American cultures.
A Modularity and Extensibility Analysis on Authorization Frameworks
Authors: Martins Guerra Eduardo , O. Silva Jefferson , Torres Fernandes Clovis
Published: September 2018

Authorization in its most basic form can be
reduced to a simple question: “May a subject X access an object
Y?” The attempt to implement an adequate response to this
authorization question has produced many access control models
and mechanisms. The development of the authorization
mechanisms usually employs frameworks, which usually
implements one access control model, as a way of reusing larger
portions of software. However, some authorization requirements,
present on recent applications, have demanded for software
systems to be able to handle security policies of multiple access
control models. Industry has resolved this problem in a
pragmatic way, by using the framework to solve part of the
problem, and mingling business and the remaining authorization
concerns into the code. The main goal of this paper is to present a
comparative analysis between the existing frameworks developed
either within the academic and industry environments. This
analysis uses a motivating example to present the main industry
frameworks and consider the fulfillment of modularity,
extensibility and granularity requirements facing its suitability
for the existing access control models. This analysis included the
Esfinge Guardian framework, which is an open source
framework developed by the authors that provides mechanisms
that allows its extension to implement and combine different
authorization models.

A snapshot of psycho-social issues in camp living. A Sri Lankan landslide May 2016 in the Kegalle district
Authors: Broadway-Horner 1 Matt
Published: September 2018

This paper seeks to explore the aspects of being made homeless or Internally Displaced person (IDP) and how the team attempted to assess this. The team of 10 psychological researchers and statisticians spent a day at 5 camps in 4 locations within Kegalle, Sri Lanka. The languages within the team are Tamil, English and Sinhalese. The aim to find out if depression, anxiety and trauma symptoms are evident within child, adolescents and adults categories, 3 months after the landslide triggered by the storm Roanu May 2016. The participants volunteered to be interviewed using self report measures. The psychological researchers did have undergraduate and post graduate degrees in psychology. Whilst the project lead had clinical experience, the researchers did not and so this was their first field trip. The research was granted ethical clearance by the ethics board at CIRP – Colombo. Unfortunately, due to low numbers, significance is problematic and so this paper addresses the experience and lessons learned by implication for professional growth and future research with IDP. But the impact upon men’s health becomes clear as the team discovers the psychosocial aspects of being homeless.

Authors: Mmbaha 1 Janet , Bulinda 2 Mugala
Published: September 2018

Numerous studies have been conducted on alcohol and sports among student athletes focusing on the causes, consequence, and intervention measures. However, information is scarce about the perspectives of coaches on alcohol consumption among student athletes. This study examined knowledge and perspectives of coaches on alcohol use among student athletes. Sixty coaches (N-60) were purposively selected from public universities in Kenya.  A self-reported questionnaire was used to collect data. Findings indicate coaches to have lengthy experience in coaching and they were aware of alcohol consumption among student athletes. Student athletes consumed more alcohol off-season than during season. Senior students consumed more alcohol than the other students. Coaches lacked support of administrators in enforcing anti-alcohol policies. Education, counseling and benching the players were the commonly used intervention measures by coaches.
The Development of a Culturally Adapted Pilot Intervention for African American Family Members of Homicide Victims: A Preliminary Report
Authors: Sharpe Tanya L. , Iwamoto Derek Kenji , Massey Johari M. , Murphy Michalopoulos Lynn
Published: September 2018

African Americans are disproportionately impacted by homicide in the United States. Individuals who have lost a relative to homicide often experience symptoms of complicated grief. The objective of this study was to explore the impact of a culturally tailored psychoeducational pilot intervention whose development was informed by a conceptual model of coping for African American survivors of homicide victims and was designed to (a) educate participants about the manifestation of complicated grief and symptoms and (b) help participants develop ways to cope with their grief. Pre- and post-test results indicate preliminary support for this encouraging intervention in achieving its intended outcomes to help participants identify complicated grief symptoms, supports, and services to help them manage their grief. Implications for posthomicide research and practice are discussed.
White Female Bystanders’ Responses to a Black Woman at Risk for Sexual Assault:
Authors: Merrilees Christine E. , Katz Jennifer , DuBois Natalie , Grant Claire
Published: September 2018

Although much research suggests that intergroup contact reduces prejudice, less research has examined the effects of contact on prosocial intergroup bystander behaviors. The current study examined mediators between White undergraduate women’s (N = 139) contact with racial/ethnic minority group members and their intent to help a Black woman at risk for sexual assault. As expected, White women who had more frequent and higher quality contact reported greater intent to intervene. Results showed that the effect of quality intergroup contact was mediated by diversity beliefs, or the attitude that cultural heterogeneity leads to favorable outcomes. These results suggest that promoting high-quality opportunities for intergroup contact and education regarding cultural diversity could promote the safety of racially and ethnically diverse students on predominantly White campuses.

Da prática à produção do conhecimento: bibliotecas e biblioteconomia pré-científica
Authors: Tanus Gabrielle Francinne
Published: September 2018

A indissociável relação entre as bibliotecas e a Biblioteconomia conduz a uma reconstituição da história dessas instituições, começando pelo período mais remoto, a Antiguidade. Momento este de nascimento da escrita, dos primeiros registros do conhecimento, e, por conseguinte, dos primeiros acervos. Tanto neste momento, quanto no posterior, a Idade Média, as práticas no ambiente da biblioteca antecedem as teorias ou estruturas de pensamento sistematizadas. O desejo em custodiar e conservar é comum tanto nas bibliotecas da Antiguidade como nas bibliotecas da Idade Média, o que possibilita uma aproximação desses distintos momentos sob a designação de uma Biblioteconomia pré-científica. Para tanto, convoca-se a partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica diversos autores que abordam a história da biblioteca, particularmente, vinculada aqueles dois momentos. Acredita-se que, perscrutar este largo período da história e da qual a Biblioteconomia faz parte, possibilitaria uma maior compreensão da mesma, bem como de suas práticas exercidas nas bibliotecas, em especial, na Antiguidade e na Idade Média.

Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre a relação entre as leituras, os significados, as interpretações e seus contextos, na ótica da Ciência da Informação. A pesquisa quanto aos objetivos, é exploratória, quanto aos procedimentos é bibliográfica, e traz como hipótese que as interpretações dependem diretamente do contexto espaço-tempo do leitor. O artigo traz uma revisão bibliográfica elegendo como temas principais de investigação os significados e seus contextos de significação. As considerações finais confirmam, mesmo que a priori, que as leituras são resultados de vivências dos leitores, sejam elas, resultantes de leituras textuais ou leituras de mundo. Além disso, o artigo defende que essas questões são fundamentais nos trabalhos de organização da informação e do conhecimento, e que as vivências podem acontecer nos processos de formação de leitores, facilitando a leitura das pessoas em estruturas significantes mais complexas.

O produto do ensino deveria ser a aprendizagem efetiva, eficaz e significativa. No entanto, em pleno século XXI, é notório que existem as mais variadas dificuldades de ensino e de aprendizagem. As novas tecnologias computacionais têm sido apontadas como um fator que pode trazer benefícios ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem, contudo é preciso que elas sirvam de suporte a novas estratégias pedagógicas. O problema reside, então, em como desenvolver e aplicar novas estratégias pedagógicas, de forma que o aluno se sinta comprometido com o seu processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Este artigo propõe um processo de ensino-aprendizagem que une o uso de smartphones, programação de aplicativos e raciocínio crítico sobre os problemas que o aluno vislumbra em seu cotidiano. Tal processo foi aplicado a alunos de graduação do curso de Tecnologia em Banco de Dados. Dentre os resultados obtidos, houve o desenvolvimento de um aplicativo colaborativo para auxiliar o gerenciamento de riscos de desastres ambientais de cunho hidrometeorológico. Esse aplicativo tem por intuito alertar órgãos responsáveis para que possam tomar medidas preventivas para a evacuação de áreas de risco, de modo mais rápido que o comumente usado. Esse e outros resultados obtidos indicam a validade da proposta.

Published: September 2018

O presente estudo é uma revisão sistemática visando analisar a prevalência e fatores de risco da Síndrome de Burnout nos docentes universitários. Foram levantados artigos das bases de dados Lilacs, Scielo e Pepsic no período de 1981 a 2017. Os descritores utilizados foram Síndrome de Burnout, Burnout, docentes, educação e professores. Os resultados indicam que o aumento na diversidade de funções, altas cargas de trabalho e exigências nas produções pela instituição são as possíveis causas da SB nos docentes. Sendo a dimensão de maior incidência a Exaustão Emocional, que teve relação direta com a saúde dos docentes. Conclui-se que as instituições de Ensino Superior devem promover ações no âmbito da saúde para promoção e prevenção do Burnout.

O conceito de letramento e as práticas de alfabetização
Authors: Castro Marcelo Macedo Correa e , Amorim Rejane , Cerdas Luciene
Published: September 2018

Neste artigo,traçamos um percurso na compreensão do conceito de letramento, que suscita debates em torno do significado da alfabetização e se consolida como uma perspectiva possível para o ensino da leitura e da escrita. Como resultado de nossos investimentos em pesquisa, ensino e extensão no ensino da escrita e na formação de professores, começaremos por apresentar o posicionamento de diversos autores sobre letramento na história recente (e.g. SMOLKA, 2012, GERALDI, 2011, FERREIRO, 2003, SOARES, 1998, 2014), levando em conta seu impacto tanto nos estudos como nas práticas docentes. Esse recorte teórico permite apresentar uma crítica em relação ao uso do termo letramento e sobre a dicotomia gerada no ensino da língua escrita, que separa o código dos seus sentidos em práticas pedagógicas que se dizem inovadoras.

Resumo

O artigo apresenta uma análise e problematização da condição de analfabeto e de práticas de alfabetização de adultos. Os dados empíricos resultaram de uma investigação de natureza qualitativa, com recurso a entrevistas biográficas a adultos analfabetos. Apresentam-se contributos teóricos sobre o analfabetismo e a alfabetização, filiados numa perspectiva crítica e ampla do processo educativo. Os adultos entrevistados reconhecem que a sua condição de analfabeto resultou de dificuldades financeiras da família. Os adultos consideram que o facto de não saberem ler nem escrever limitou as suas oportunidades, ao longo da vida. Por fim, criticam os cursos de alfabetização, baseados na forma escolar, por estes não se adequaram os seus interesses e não valorizarem os seus saberes.

 

Abstrat

The article presents an analysis and problematization of illiteracy and adult literacy practices. The empirical data are the result of an investigation of a qualitative nature, using biographical interviews with illiterate adults. Theoretical contributions on illiteracy and literacy are presented in a critical and broad perspective of the educational process. The adults interviewed acknowledge that their status as illiterate resulted from family financial difficulties. Adults find that being unable to read or write has limited their opportunities throughout life. Finally, they criticize the literacy practices, based on the school form, because they did not suit their interests and did not value their knowledge.
