Dada a competitividade nos mercados globais, é crescente a busca por informações que resultem em uma vantagem perante os concorrentes, tal processo para a geração e análise das informações é conhecido como Inteligência Competitiva (IC). O presente artigo tem como objetivo examinar a literatura sobre IC aplicada nas indústrias, contemplando estudos de caso e surveys, possibilitando um entendimento das características gerais que as publicações dessa área apresentam. Uma amostra de publicações foi determinada de acordo com critérios de inclusão e exclusão, considerando publicações entre o período de 1997 e 2017 na Scopus. Para o mapeamento da literatura existente sobre um tema, a análise bibliométrica possibilita entender quantitativamente uma amostra sob diversos aspectos, como ano de publicação, origem, autoria e categorias de assunto. O software VOSviewer foi utilizado para visualização de mapas de cocitação e de conteúdo. O trabalho apresenta uma análise quantitativa da literatura publicada, de forma a proporcionar um referencial teórico para desenvolvimento de futuras pesquisas nessa área.
Tissue Continues to Be the Issue: Role of Histopathology in the Context of Recent Updates in the Radiologic Classification of Interstitial Lung Diseases
Authors: Raparia Kirtee , Raj Rishi
Published: December 2018

Context.—

High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) imaging has an increasingly important role in clinical decision-making in patients with interstitial lung diseases. The recent Fleischner Society white paper on the diagnostic criteria for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis highlights the advances in our understanding of HRCT imaging in interstitial lung diseases.

Objective.—

To discuss the evidence and recommendations outlined in the white paper as it pertains to the radiologic diagnosis of interstitial lung disease, specifically highlighting the current limitations of HRCT in confidently predicting histopathologic findings.

Data Sources.—

The recent Fleischner Society white paper and other studies pertaining to the role of HRCT in predicting histopathology in interstitial lung diseases are reviewed.

Conclusions.—

High-resolution computed tomography is highly predictive of a usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern on histopathology when the HRCT shows a typical UIP pattern on a “confident” read by the radiologist. A probable UIP pattern is also very predictive of a UIP pattern on histopathology, and histopathologic confirmation is not needed for most patients demonstrating this pattern in the appropriate clinical setting. A UIP pattern may be seen in a substantial proportion of patients with an “indeterminate UIP” pattern on HRCT and in many patients for whom the HRCT suggests an alternative diagnosis; histopathologic confirmation should be considered in patients demonstrating these patterns whenever feasible.

Published: December 2018

Objetivo: compreender os saberes e as práticas dos profissionais de saúde na atenção primária em relação ao atendimento à pessoa com Diabetes Mellitus (DM) e suas complicações. Método: exploratório descritivo qualitativo, conduzido em cinco centros de saúde do município de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. Realizada entrevista semiestruturada com 22 profissionais de saúde vinculados à Estratégia Saúde da Família e ao Núcleo de Apoio à Saúde da Família, entre dezembro de 2014 a maio de 2015. Os resultados foram analisados na perspectiva de análise de conteúdo convencional. Resultados: o saber dos profissionais configura-se no atendimento integral e humanizado, com foco na qualidade de vida. Suas práticas assistenciais se distanciam desses saberes quando a pessoa já apresenta a doença. Conclusões: apesar de os participantes manifestarem saberes convergentes com as políticas públicas, a prática clínica desenvolvida na assistência à pessoa com DM exige reflexão e estruturação, a fim de retardar ou evitar complicações.
Cardinal and ordinal aspects of finger-counting habits predict different individual differences in embodied numerosity
Authors: Morrissey Kyle , Hallett Darcy
Published: December 2018

The hand with which one starts to count has been shown repeatedly to influence numerical performance. However, methods vary greatly in how researchers determine starting hand. As such, it is impossible to say whether starting hand reflects one construct that is being differently measured, or if these methods reflect different constructs. To investigate these possibilities, we employed a binary magnitude comparison task known to elicit spatial-numerical biases and embodied number magnitude effects, as well as both cardinal and ordinal assessments of starting hand. In addition to this, we further examined whether being made aware of one’s finger-counting habits prior to the numerical task (through a finger-counting inventory) may alter performance during a spatial-numerical reaction-time task. Ordinal and cardinal starting hand classifications disagreed significantly in their classification of left vs. right-starters and predicted different aspects of numerical performance, which further interacted with procedure-order. The pattern of results suggest that 1) ordinal and cardinal aspects of finger-counting are dissociable and predict differing aspects of embodied numerosity, and 2) that assessing finger counting habits before performing a numerical task may affect performance on that task. Therefore, these methodological variations have important theoretical ramifications and need to be reported in greater detail in future work.
Approximate number system task performance: Associations with domain-general and domain-specific cognitive skills in young children
Authors: Fuhs Mary Wagner , Nesbitt Kimberly Turner , O’Rear Connor D.
Published: December 2018

We investigated the associations between young children’s domain-general executive functioning (EF) skills and domain-specific spontaneous focusing on number (SFON) tendencies and their performance on an approximate number system (ANS) task, paying particular attention to variations in associations across different trial types with either congruent or incongruent non-numerical continuous visual cues. We found that children’s EF skills were strongly related to their performance on ANS task trials in which continuous visual cues were incongruent with numerosity. Novel to the current study, we found that children’s SFON tendencies were specifically related to their performance on ANS task trials in which continuous visual cues were congruent with numerosity. Children’s performance on ANS task trials in which children can use both congruent numerical and non-numerical continuous visual cues to approximate large quantities may be related to their unprompted tendency to focus on number in their early environment when there are not salient distractors present. On the other hand, children’s performance on incongruent ANS trials may be less a function of number-specific knowledge but more of children’s domain-general ability to inhibit salient but conflicting or irrelevant stimuli. Importantly, these effects held even when accounting for global math achievement and children’s cardinality knowledge. Overall, results support the consideration of both domain-specific and domain-general cognitive factors in developmental models of children’s early ability to attend to numerosity and provide a possible means for reconciling previous conflicting research findings.
Building spaces for controversial public engagement – Exploring and challenging democratic deficits in NHS marketization
Authors: Walker Carl , Artaraz Kepa , Darking Mary , Davies Ceri , Fleischer Stephanie , Graber Rebecca , Mwale Shadreck , Speed Ewen , Terry Jenny , Zoli Anna
Published: December 2018

The Brighton Citizen's Health Services Survey (BCHSS) was developed to explore and potentially challenge how knowledge is used and by whom in the production of local health commissioning institutions and relations. Through the creation of an ‘animating set of questions’, it sought to open up spaces through which to make visible some of the ways of knowing and valuing the NHS and health services that had been minimised through the commensuration practices of post-2012 public engagement. In this way there was a clear agenda to facilitate a form of knowledge democratisation which opened up and validated different 'health publics’, in order to explore and broaden participative engagement opportunities. The paper provides an account of the project. It considers the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of this example of ‘evidence-based activism’, reflects on the impact of the project on local commissioning and considers the range of controversies that arose as a result of the work. It explores the way that research straddling the boundary between academic inquiry and political activism speaks to the many issues that are prevalent in the changing HE sector as well as NHS privatisation, health commissioning and public sector cuts.
Towards a liberatory ethics of care framework for organizing social change
Authors: Dutt Anjali , Kohfeldt Danielle
Published: December 2018

Community psychology originated as a discipline designed to reduce societal inequities and promote social justice. The field’s development, however, coincides with the proliferation of neoliberal policies and ideology that run counter to many of the aims of community psychology. In light of the contemporary socio-political landscape, this paper advances a liberatory ethics of care model as a path forward for community psychologists interested in societal transformation. We illustrate liberatory care as a guide for social change via case studies of two different groups involved in transformation-oriented projects to improve the well-being of their communities (i.e., Latinx youth in the United States involved in an activist art project and women in rural Nicaragua involved in feminist organizing). We specifically illustrate that an ethics of care framework both guides the actions of these groups, and offers an alternative focus for community psychologists interested in promoting transformation towards more healthful and just societies. We aim to contribute to efforts to promote justice-oriented change by explicating the role of care-oriented communal values in promoting liberatory practices.
“Do you want to help or go to war?”: Ethical challenges of critical research in immigration detention in Canada
Authors: Kronick Rachel , Cleveland Janet , Rousseau Cécile
Published: December 2018

In a time of mass displacement, countries across the globe are seeking to protect borders through coercive methods of deterrence such as immigration detention. In Canada, migrants—including children—may be detained in penal facilities having neither been charged nor convicted of crimes. In this paper we examine how we dealt with the series of ethical dilemmas that emerged while doing research in immigration detention centres in Canada. Using a critical ethnographic approach, we examine the process of our research in the field, seeking to understand what our emotional responses and those of the staff could tell us about detention itself, but also about what is at stake when researchers are faced with the suffering of participants in these spaces of confinement. The findings suggest that field work in immigration detention centres is an emotionally demanding process and that there were several pivotal moments in which our sense of moral and clinical obligations toward distressed detainees, especially children, were in conflict with our role as researchers. We also grapple with how the disciplinary gaze of the detention centre affects researchers entering the space. Given these tensions, we argue, spaces of critical reflection that can consider and contain the strongly evoked emotions are crucial, both for researchers, and perhaps more challengingly, for detention centre employees and gatekeepers as well.
Can digital health save democracy? Meeting the cosmopolitical challenge of digital worlds
Authors: Gonzalez-Polledo Elena
Published: December 2018

This article explores the challenges and opportunities of social media health activisms to shape public participation in the digital future of healthcare. As health becomes ever more entangled with digital technologies, a growing ecology of digital health services promise greater individual autonomy to learn about and managing medical conditions, as well as accessing health services and engaging in forms of self-care. Cautioning against optimist visions of digital health and their promise of empowerment and autonomy, the article explores how health activisms on social media are reclaiming visions of healthcare that move beyond individual and depoliticised models of health technologies. The notion of cosmopolitics is employed to conceptualise relations between technology and health that implicate human and non-human interests in entanglements between health, morality and technology.
The right to be Freepeople: Relational voluntary-assisted-advocacy as a psychological and ethical resource for decolonizing intellectual disability
Authors: Capri Charlotte , Swartz Leslie
Published: December 2018

Participating in social activism implies responsibility for its exchange and creation. We focus on Intellectual Disability (ID) as an advocacy site for individuals who are dependent on assistance with activities of daily life, and attend to the process of taking care during social justice projects. Our paper responds to current South African social justice controversies perpetrated against people who may be unable to independently mobilize against increasingly othering – even deadly – socio-political conditions. Underpinned by relational Ethics of Care, voluntary-assisted-advocacy can be a psychologically relational, intersubjective, and societal project that strives for ID citizenship-making and social justice. This paper draws on numerous interviews and a number of ethnographic observations in exploration of ID care. Empirical material was subjected to thematic content analysis, and participant quotes bring our argument to life. Relationships among people with Intellectual Disability (PWID) and non-ID assistant-advocates are asymmetrical. We can either uphold dominant non-ID voices, or transform socio-political ruling relations that maintain dependence on conditions of power and inequality. Our contributions to the advocacy we co-create today will shape the activism we will depend on in the future. We consider relational voluntary-assisted-advocacy as a psychological and ethical resource for sustainable, mutually satisfying social change.

Published: December 2018

Objetivo

Considerando a importância das relações e do funcionamento familiar para o bem-estar psicológico dos seus membros e o desenvolvimento de psicopatologias, este estudo teve como principal objetivo contribuir para a validação portuguesa da versão reduzida do Family Relationship Index (FRI).

Método

A amostra foi constituída por 193 participantes portugueses que responderam ao questionário online. Dos participantes, 65.3% eram do sexo feminino, com idade média de 44.65 anos e 63.2% eram casados.

Resultados

Através da análise fatorial confirmatória da escala, foram encontrados dois fatores (conflito e coesão/expressividade), ao invés de três como na escala original e o modelo fatorial final apresentou bons índices de qualidade de ajustamento. A consistência interna para o fator coesão/expressividade foi de 0.902 e 0.741 para o fator conflito. À exceção do item seis, os demais itens do FRI apresentaram pesos fatoriais superiores a 0.5 e todos os itens eram estatisticamente significativos. Relativamente às tipologias familiares, os resultados revelam que a maioria das famílias pertencia à tipologia solucionadora de conflitos (34.7%).

Conclusão

Daqui se conclui que o instrumento apresenta boa consistência interna e fiabilidade de constructo, assumindo-se como um instrumento útil para a identificação de famílias disfuncionais.
Alimentação na visão das pessoas com diabetes mellitus: Contributo das representações sociais
Authors: Amorim Maria Marta Amancio , Ramos Natália , Gazzinelli Maria Flávia
Published: December 2018

Objetivo

Identificar as representações sociais sobre a alimentação de pessoas com Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 - DM2.

Método

Os usuários com DM2 de uma Unidade Básica de Saúde (n = 34) de Belo Horizonte, Brasil, sugeriram 5 palavras, com justificativa da mais importante, após a questão indutora: Quando se fala em alimentação do diabético, o que vem à sua mente? Os discursos foram gravados, transcritos, categorizados e interpretados pela análise do conteúdo e teoria da representação social.

Resultados

Alguns entrevistados indicaram que a pessoa com DM2 deve comer de forma saudável. Outros se apoiaram na qualidade da alimentação, representando-a como “comer legumes e frutas”, e “evitar os doces”. Há ainda aqueles cujo discurso se pautou no comer pouco, preocupando-se com as quantidades de alimentos ingeridas. Existem aqueles que representaram a alimentação como não comer muito, focando na frequencia da alimentação, pois consideram que fracionar a alimentação em muitas refeições não é adequado. Outros focaram o seu discurso na ingestão seletiva de alimentos, especificamente aqueles que não fazem mal ao organismo. Por fim, outros, consideraram que a alimentação não implica seguir uma dieta específica.

Conclusão

Diferentes discursos abordando normas dietéticas podem ser encontrados na sociedade, deixando a pessoa com DM2 diante de dúvida dos alimentos que pode ou não comer.
Risk factors reduction in suicidal youth through social connectedness opportunities provided by community services
Authors: Robert Marie , Desgranges Annie , Séguin Monique , Beauchamp Guy
Published: December 2018

Aim

This study examined the trajectory (life course) of youths, referred to community services following their suicidal behavior, in order to measure the extent to which these young people have taken this opportunity to modify connectedness with family, school, and workplace, and to change high-risk factors related to suicidal behaviors (mental health problems, delinquency, drug consumption).

Method

Fifteen youths (aged 16-19), who made one or more suicide attempts or had serious ideation in the previous 24 to 48 months, were referred to community services (Vallée-Jeunesse). They were interviewed using an intensive personal interview measures (Trajectory Instrument Measure, TIM) in order to document significant life events and adversities that occured during different periods of their life.In addition, we administered the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis-I and Axis-II disorders (SCID-I and SCID-II) to identify past and current psychopathologies.

Results

Several important changes took place following their entry into the community services: a reduction in delinquency and substance abuse/dependence, and positive changes in occupational status and suicidal behaviors (ideation and suicide attempt).

Conclusion

Our findings can inform policies and strategies that support the prevention of suicidal behavior among young adults. Community services providers can play a role in the prevention of suicidal behaviors for the most vulnerable youths. These types of services could complement traditional suicide prevention strategies, which are mostly mental-health based.
Multimodale læsepraksisser og dannelse til det digitale netværkssamfund
Authors: Thorhauge Anne Mette
Published: December 2018

I denne artikel vil jeg anlægge et mediehistorisk perspektiv på læsning, skrivning og multimodale praksisser i det digitale netværkssamfund. Jeg vil argumentere for, at læsning og skrivning som forudsætning for medborgerskab må ses i relation til den aktuelle samfundskontekst, herunder de(t) dominerende mediesystem(er). Jeg vil således argumentere for, at læsning og skrivning som en ’monomodal’ praksis (Kress & van Leeuwen, 2001) har sit udspring i den moderne trykkultur, der gik forud for de elektroniske massemedier, mens fremkomsten af elektroniske såvel som digitale medier nødvendiggør en opdatering af læse- og skrivebegreberne, så de kan understøtte deltagelse og medborgerskab i et digitalt netværkssamfund.
New Multimodal Designs for Foreign Language Learning
Authors: Kasch Henrik
Published: December 2018

Semiotic multimodality theory speaks of new learning affordances in media ecologies, which is both theoretically and empirically echoed in UDL and in CALL literature, but owing to their neuro-didactic respectively technology-driven standpoints both approaches lack theoretical underpinnings for ecology and semiotic multimodality. Enhanced with multimodality theory and ecological perspectives UDL and CALL can crossbreed, forming a multimodally and ecologically aware inclusive design for language learning. This study from an ongoing project investigates the hypothesis from a theoretical and an empirical perspective, examining digital scaffolds. Multimodal-semiotic and ecological perspectives are used to analyse affordances and ecologies in CALL and UDL learning designs. From this analysis, a principled UDL-CALL learning design is constructed. For empirical testing, a mixed-methods research design is proposed, presenting preliminary results indicative of the design’s viability.
Ouverture pour cause d’inventaire. Figures et significations de l’exhaustivité en exposition
Authors: Dulguerova Elitza
Published: December 2018

This article examines how exhaustiveness serves as a guiding principal for certain exhibitions, and particularly as a means of critiquing selection as the dominant method of promoting specific artworks, artists, and movements. It begins by outlining the possible genealogies of this attitude in the history of exhibition forms, as well as artists’ experiments with these forms. It then focuses on the work of curators Michael Fehr, Véronique Souben, and Rebecca Duclos and David K. Ross, who, in different contexts, have used notions of inventory and storage to exhaustively present collections. These practices represent strategies of resistance and critique whose contemporary relevance needs to be evaluated alongside their strengths and weaknesses.
“Embodiment and Subjectivity”: Intersectional Black Feminist Curatorial Practices in Canada
Authors: Joachim Joana
Published: December 2018

Dans le contexte de l’héritage canadien de colonialisme et de profond racisme, les musées ont contribué à l’oppression des Noir.e.s, des communautés de couleur et des peuples autochtones en gardant le silence ou en supprimant certaines histoires sous prétexte d’« objectivité ». Cet article examine les pratiques commissariales de deux femmes noires canadiennes, Gaëtane Verna, directrice et conservatrice en chef de la galerie d’art contemporain The Power Plant, et Andrea Fatona, commissaire indépendante, afin de situer le commissariat critique à l’intérieur de perspectives afroféministes intersectionnelles. En conformité avec une base conceptuelle fondamentale de ce féminisme, je soutiens que ce qui rend l’acte commissarial « critique » est la reconnaissance non seulement de la position qu’une personne occupe dans la société, mais aussi de celles dont elle ne fait pas toujours l’expérience. En examinant les pratiques de ces deux femmes, je mets au jour une riche histoire de l’art et du commissariat des Noir.e.s au Canada.
Le détournement du commissariat : l’exposition chorégraphique chez Boris Charmatz et Xavier Le Roy
Authors: Hudon Véronique
Published: December 2018

Today, it is not unusual to see performing artists present exhibitions in galleries or museums. The French choreographers Boris Charmatz and Xavier Le Roy each revisit the format of the exhibition as a performative site, rather than a space devoted to artistic objects. At the border between curating and artistic practice, their work questions the museum space as a place for the production of knowledge. Through living practice, choreographers redefine the work of art’s modes of production, mediation, and reception, while also reformulating aesthetic experience through the coexistence of bodies, documents, and artistic media in the museum space. By reflecting on the critical potential of Boris Charmatz’s Flip Book exhibitions and Xavier Le Roy’s “Retrospective,” this article seeks to define their curatorial strategies, as well as the political consequences of their engagement in the institution.
Working with Edge Emotions as a means for Uncovering Problematic Assumptions: Developing a practically sound theory
Authors: Mälkki Kaisu , Green Larry
Published: December 2018

The connection between cognition and emotion, and between mind and body, has been well documented by neuroscience. The adult education practitioners of critical reflection and transformative learning processes have understood this more holistic understanding of human nature both empirically and intuitively. However, the key theory of the field, Jack Mezirow’s theory of transformative learning, has been given consistent criticism on its focus on rational and cognitive aspects of learning while understating its emotional and social aspects. Similarly, the conceptualization of the processes of reflection appears more appropriate to sophia than for phronesis. This, as is argued in the paper, leaves the theory rather idealistic while lacking understanding of the prerequisites for, and actualities of reflection. This paper presents a recent theoretical development that is both grounded in the analysis of Mezirow’s theory as well as extending and elaborating the theorization of reflection, by utilizing the insights from neuroscience. The presented theory explicates how cognition and emotion are intertwined in the processes of reflection. Further, the theory offers conceptual basis for further research and practice regarding reflection and transformative learning, not only showing the ideals, but offering conceptual tools to work with the challenges of reflection as well.

The Pilot Road has been selected to examine the strength properties (deflection module) of frost blanket course. A Pilot Road consisting of 27 road sections, divided into 5 different road structures. A Pilot Road has been selected to examine the strength properties (deflection module) of frost blanket course. In this research was determined the strength of frost blanket course in road pavement structures of Pilot Road by four devices: Falling Weight Deflectometer Dynatest 8000, Light Weight Deflectometers Prima 100 and ZORN ZSG 02 and Static Beam Strassentest. The results showed no reliable correlation between the deflection modulus, measured by different devices, and the physical indicators of the frost blanket course of the road pavement structures in Pilot Road.
Estimation of Extreme Load Effects on Long-Span Bridges Using Traffic Image Data
Authors: Micu Elena Alexandra , Obrien Eugene John , Malekjafarian Abdollah , Quilligan Michael
Published: December 2018

This paper proposes an algorithm for the estimation of extreme intensity of traffic load on long-span bridges. Most Weigh-in-Motion technologies do not operate in congested conditions which are the governing cases for these bridges. In the absence of Weigh-in-Motion data on the bridge itself, a correlation between vehicle weights and their lengths is established here using a (free- flowing) Weigh-in-Motion database. Photographic images of congested traffic are modelled here for three bridges using weights estimated from lengths and one year of Weigh-in-Motion data. The actual weights are taken from the Weigh-in- Motion data, and the results are compared to test the method. The gaps between vehicles are firstly set to a constant value and later to Beta-distributed values according to vehicle type. The intensity of traffic load for all pictures is calculated and compared to the loads obtained from the recorded weights. A return period of 75-year is chosen to evaluate the extreme values of intensity. The probability that intensity of load is being exceeded is obtained using normal probability paper for both recorded and simulated weights. This study demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed concept of using lengths to estimate the extreme traffic load events with acceptable accuracy.
Емпиријско сагледавање односа између процеса запошљавања и пословних перформанси
Authors: Золак Пољашевић Бранка , Илић Гордана
Published: December 2018

Процес запошљавања чини једну од основних компоненти менаџмента људских ресурса. Он се одвија кроз двије повезане активности, а то су регрутовање и селекција. Ефикасан процес регрутовања је предуслов квалитетне селекције, односно избора кандидата који највише одговарају захтјевима радног мјеста. Поред сагледавања значаја провођења адекватног процеса запошљавања и прегледа основних метода регрутовања и селекције које стоје на располагању послодавцима, кроз овај рад и емпиријско истраживање анализиран је однос између процеса запошљавања и пословне успјешности у великим пословним организацијама у Републици Српској. Претпостављени односи међу посматраним варијаблама тестирани су примјеном неколико статистичких метода. Резултати истраживања сугеришу да између квалитета процеса запошљавања људских ресурса, с једне стране, и посматраних индикатора пословне успјешности, с друге стране, постоји статистички значајна веза, која указује да са побољшањем квалитета ове активности менаџмента људских ресурса долази до раста посматраних индикатора пословне успјешности. Такође, установљена је статистич-ки значајна разлика у индикаторима пословне успјешности међу групамаорганизација које имају различит ниво квалитета процеса запошљавања.Конкретно, пословни резултат по запосленом, као и резултат редовне ак-тивности по запосленом су статистички значајно већи код организацијакоје на систематичан и адекватан начин проводе процес регрутовања и се-лекције кандидата за упражњена радна мјеста. Резултати овог истражи-вања пружају допринос емпиријским сазнањима у овој области, те указујуна неадекватну политику запошљавања која је, на жалост, заступљена увеликом броју домаћих пословних организација и генератор је ширих дру-штвених проблема.
Морални хазард у банкарском сектору Републике Српске
Authors: Крунић Горана
Published: December 2018

Многе досадашње кризе банкарског сектора су показале да је морални хазард врло често био један од главних узрока појаве таквих криза. Пропаст двије банке у Републици Српској у врло кратком временском периоду је подстакао ово истраживање како би се утврдило да ли у банкарском сектору Републике Српске постоји дјеловање моралног хазарда и у којим облицима. Потврда дјеловања моралног хазарда од стране осигураних депонената банака и од стране лошије рангираних банака у банкарском сектору, те негативан утицај дјеловања моралног хазарда на ниво каматних стопа, али и на квалитет банкарског сектора, отворило је простор за даља истраживања. Она се односе на евентуално доказивање дјеловања моралног хазарда као узрока пропасти банака у банкарском сектору Републике Српске, али и утврђивања механизама заштите од хазардског понашања свих учесника у банкарском сектору Републике Српске, укључујући и банкарске регулаторе.

Институције и њихова ефикасност су кључни фактор јачања извозне способности малих економија. За успостављање институција и њихову ефикасност највећу одговорност има држава.Без институција и њихове ефикасности нема ни извозне способности што негативно утиче на благостање становништва. Зато је основано да се кроз реформску агенду свих нивоа власти у Босни и Херцеговини учини напор за успостављање институција које недостају и повећање ефикасности постојећих институција како би се смањио јаз између увоза и извоза у Босни и Херцеговини као малој економији.

Introduction: Cervical syndrome is a set of symptoms that are manifested by pain in the neck segment and shoulder blade region, with the feeling of tightness and tension, and limited movement of the neck segment of the spine. Because of the long-term duration of symptoms, we often find psychopathological manifestations in the form of anxiety and depression in these patients.Objective: The goal was to detect the presence of anxiety and depressive manifestations of personality in patients with cervical syndrome at the beginning of rehabilitation treatment, to determine to what extent the presence of anxiety and depressive symptomatology affects the functional recovery of patients after a physical rehabilitation treatment.Patients and Methods: The study was conducted as a prospective study involving 100 patients. Criteria for inclusion were the diagnosis of cervical syndrome and the age of patients between 20 and 60 years of age. Exclusion criteria were diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy, vertebrobasilar syndrome, diagnosis of anxiety and depressionconfirmed by psychiatrist, as well as use of psychotropic substances. On admission, each patient filled in Beck’s questionaire for anxiety and depression (BAI and BDI)and accordingly patients were divided into 3 groups.Results: Out of total of 100 patients, 74% were female and 26% were male. In 77% of patients psychopathological manifestations of personality were found. A statistically significant association of gender and group placement was found (p=0,003). The women had a far greater percentage of anxiety and anxiety-depressive manifestations of the personality than men. In terms of BAI and BDI, there was a statistically significant difference between genders. All of the parameters ( VAS, Schober, CSS) monitored during rehabilitation treatment were improved at the end of treatment (p=0,0001). There was a positive correlation of BAI and BDI with CSS on admission and at discharge (p=0,05) in a group of anxiety-depressed patients.Conclusion: The presence of anxiety and depressive manifestations of personality did not have a negative impact on the functional recovery of patients. Physical therapy has led to reduction of pain, increased mobility and better functional status of cervical spine for patients with cervical spine syndrome.
Acute Poisoning with Herbicide Glyphosate

Glyphosate is the most common used organophosphorus herbicide which most probably inhibits oxidative phosphorylation without leading to the inhibition of esterases. Glyphosate poisoning is mostly the consequence of the synergistic effect of an active substance and surfactant. There is a case of 42-year-old patient who worked on weed spraying with glyphosate, with hand sprinkler. Symptoms of the acute poisoning such as weakness, sweating, nausea, vomiting and stomach ache were visible right after the working period. With biochemical analysis increased activity of the enzymes AST, ALT and y-GT were diagnosed and sanated after aborting an expositions in the period of six months and treatment. In this shown case poisoning was caused during applying herbicides without proper handling with the herbicide and also because of non-compliance of measures in safety and health at work. It is very clear that this is a case of acute poisoning with pesticides which ended with no consequences and was declared as work injury.

Hugin ser tilbake: Formidlingsartikler av ansatte ved Universitetsbiblioteket i Tromsø, 1999–2006
Authors: Salvesen Helge
Published: December 2018

Universitetet i Tromsø – Norges arktiske universitet har siden 1984 hatt Ulf Dreyers utforming av Odins to ravner Hugin og Munin som logo for Universitetet. Hver morgen flyr ravnene ut i verden for å samle ny viten. Hva de ser, forteller de til Odin om kvelden når de kommer tilbake og setter seg på hans skuldre. Sammen representerer de Odins sjel, noe deres navn vitner om: tanke og minne. Myten forklarer Odins allvitenhet.

Arbeidet med å formidle universitetets aktivitet sto sentralt alt fra etableringstida. Den første universitetsavisa het «Universitetet i Tromsø» og utkom fra juni 1970. Ved universitetets sentralarkiv har Kristin Lønner Opdahl undersøkt hva som finnes av informasjon om internavisene våre. Ved arkivet finnes eksemplarer av den første avisa fra 1970–1973. Det er ingen informasjon i siste utgave fra 1973 om bakgrunnen for nedlegging.

Men alt fra 1972 kom en ny internavis ut – «UNITERN». Den ble utgitt i hele 20 år fram til 1992, og ble videreført av «Mimes brønn» som ble utgitt fra 1992-1995. Med «Tromsøflaket», som ble utgitt fra 1992–2005, kom diskusjonen opp om elektronisk utgiving av internavisen. Det ble en heftig diskusjon om dette, og det endte med at «Tromsøflaket» ble utgitt både på papir og elektronisk. Den hittil siste formidlingspublikasjonen ved universitetet var «Labyrint», som eksisterte fra 2007 til 2016. Dette var et påkostet blad som ble utgitt på papir. Med dagens elektroniske medier har de papirbaserte internaviser utspilt sin rolle.

Gjennom den elektroniske skriftserien «Hugins øye» har Universitetsbiblioteket ønsket å gi små gløtt inn i det vitensenter biblioteket representerer. Det var et mål å kunne presentere ulike aktualiteter innen kunnskaps- og forskningsformidling, nye tilbud til våre brukere og nyheter fra biblioteksektoren mer generelt. Det var også et mål å gjøre leserne bedre kjent med spesielle godbiter fra våre egne samlinger.

Brorparten av artiklene i denne samlingen, 35 stykker, stammer fra «Hugins øye». De ble opprinnelig publisert i tidsrommet 1999–2006. De resterende 21 artiklene er Universitetsbibliotekets bidrag til «Tromsøflaket» i perioden 2002–2003. Bakgrunnen for at de gjenutgis her, er todelt. For det første ligger det i et Universitetsbiblioteks vesen å systematisere og ta vare på den kunnskapen som samles inn. Nyttige formidlingsartikler bør ikke forsvinne ved neste systemoppdatering, men heller gis varig liv i sikre kanaler. For det andre feirer universitetet i år sitt 50-årsjubileum. Det er en utmerket anledning til å skue tilbake og se hva ravnene har samlet og formidlet av kunnskap i årenes løp. Dermed ser dette Ravnetrykket dagens lys.
Characterization of the mitochondrial genome ofArge bellaWei & Du sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Argidae)
Authors: Du Shiyu , Niu Gengyun , Nyman Tommi , Wei Meicai
Published: December 2018

We describeArge bellaWei & Du sp. nov., a large and beautiful species of Argidae from south China, and report its mitochondrial genome based on high-throughput sequencing data. We present the gene order, nucleotide composition of protein-coding genes (PCGs), and the secondary structures of RNA genes. The nearly complete mitochondrial genome ofA. bellahas a length of 15,576 bp and a typical set of 37 genes (22 tRNAs, 13 PCGs, and 2 rRNAs). Three tRNAs are rearranged in theA. bellamitochondrial genome as compared to the ancestral type in insects:trnMandtrnQare shuffled, whiletrnWis translocated from thetrnW-trnC-trnYcluster to a location downstream oftrnI. All PCGs are initiated by ATN codons, and terminated with TAA, TA or T as stop codons. All tRNAs have a typical cloverleaf secondary structure, except fortrnS1. H821 ofrrnSand H976 ofrrnLare redundant. A phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genome sequences ofA. bella, 21 other symphytan species, two apocritan representatives, and four outgroup taxa supports the placement of Argidae as sister to the Pergidae within the symphytan superfamily Tenthredinoidea.
Numerical Simulation of the Particle Displacement during Electron Beam Welding of a Dissimilar Weld Joint with TRIP‐Matrix‐Composite
Authors: Borrmann Sebastian , Asad Amjad , Halbauer Lars , Buchwalder Anja , Biermann Horst , Schwarze Rüdiger
Published: December 2018

In dissimilar welded joints between steel and metal matrix composites (MMC), the particles in the MMC interfere with the energy source, that is, the electron beam (EB) in EB welding. This may impair the quality of the joint immensely due to pore formation. By shifting the EB toward the particle‐free steel, the quality is expected to improve, due to less particles in the keyhole of the weld pool. This beam offset is investigated by means of computational fluid dynamics simulations to track the particle movement in the weld pool and to identify trends for experimental investigations. A numerical model of EB welding coupled with Lagrangian particle tracking is implemented into OpenFOAM. It is capable to simulate the particle depletion from the MMC and the enrichment in the welding seam. While several issues are found for lower EB offsets, a 75% offset with regard to the half maximum weld width produces the best results as both overall particle depletion and the number of particles in the core zone of the weld pool are minimized. The proposed model is able to investigate further combinations of metals and/or MMCs as well as weld geometries in order to reduce the quantity of costly experimental investigations.
A Light‐Powered Ultralight Tensegrity Robot with High Deformability and Load Capacity
Authors: Wang Zhijian , Li Kai , He Qiguang , Cai Shengqiang
Published: December 2018

Traditional hard robots often require complex motion‐control systems to accomplish various tasks, while applications of soft‐bodied robots are limited by their low load‐carrying capability. Herein, a hybrid tensegrity robot composed of both hard and soft materials is constructed, mimicking the musculoskeletal system of animals. Employing liquid crystal elastomer–carbon nanotube composites as artificial muscles in the tensegrity robot, it is demonstrated that the robot is extremely deformable, and its multidirectional locomotion can be entirely powered by light. The tensegrity robot is ultralight, highly scalable, has high load capacity, and can be precisely controlled to move along different paths on multiterrains. In addition, the robot also shows excellent resilience, deployability, and impact‐mitigation capability, making it an ideal platform for robotics for a wide range of applications.
A Slim Polymer Film with a Seamless Panoramic Field of View: The Radially Distributed Waveguide Encoded Lattice (RDWEL)
Authors: Lin Hao , Hosein Ian Dean , Benincasa Kathryn Ann , Saravanamuttu Kalaichelvi
Published: December 2018

The nearly hemispherical field of view (FOV) of arthropodal compound eyes has inspired analogs ranging from curved, lens‐patterned domes to planar constructs patterned with microlenses. A radial distribution of cylindrical waveguides that monotonically spans ±33° confers an FOV of 115° to a slim (≤3 mm) polymer film. This is the greatest panoramic FOV reported for any plane‐faced, single‐component structure. The radially distributed waveguide encoded lattice (RDWEL) waveguides are inscribed in a single, room‐temperature step by a large (≈15 000 cm−2), converging population of self‐trapped incandescent beams elicited in a photopolymerizable epoxide fluid. Because the resulting waveguides are multimoded and polychromatic, the RDWEL operates at all visible wavelengths emitted by broadband (e.g., ambient sunlight) and narrow ranged (e.g., light emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers) sources. Due to the overlap of the angular acceptance ranges between neighboring waveguides, the structure captures light incident at any angle within its FOV. Distinct in the field, the RDWEL confers an exceptionally large, seamless FOV for all visible wavelengths to a planar, single‐component, flexible and robust slim film. It therefore holds considerable potential as coatings for enhanced light capture (solar cells), beam shaping (LEDs, projectors), and imaging (smart phones, microscopes, and endoscopes).
