Homologação de sentença arbitral estrangeira: reflexos da Convenção de Nova Iorque
Authors: Soares Roger Moreira , Garcia Gustavo Filipe Barbosa
Published: April 2017

O presente estudo analisa os fundamentos e a obrigatoriedade de homologação da sentença arbitral estrangeira pelo Poder Judiciário nacional, com o fim de produzir efeitos no sistema jurídico interno, em comparação com o tratamento previsto para a sentença arbitral nacional. A arbitragem é forma alternativa de solução de conflitos que cada vez mais ganha espaço no âmbito empresarial. No plano internacional, a arbitragem tem como norma jurídica de destaque a Convenção de Nova Iorque, de 1958, incorporada ao ordenamento jurídico nacional pelo Decreto 4.311/2002. Essa norma estabelece as diretrizes para o reconhecimento de sentenças arbitrais estrangeiras, respeitando a soberania de cada Estado signatário, pois prevê que a sua execução deve ocorrer em conformidade com as regras de procedimento do território no qual a decisão arbitral é invocada.
Arquitetura da arte de contar: A natureza sociológica e a comunicação estética no conto brasileiro contemporâneo
Authors: Kraemer Márcia Adriana Dias , Perfeito Alba Maria
Published: April 2017

Este artigo apresenta reflexões acerca do estudo de enunciados concretos sobre o gênero conto brasileiro contemporâneo em sua natureza sociológica e estética. Para desvelar o caminho da investigação, empreendemos a análise do processo de produção do texto literário, focalizando o conto, ao perpassar aspectos preponderantes do contexto de criação, da abordagem temática, da construção composicional e do estilo do gênero estudado. Na perspectiva materialista e dialética, acreditamos que o gênero discursivo conto constitui-se, segundo uma visão bakhtiniana, uma atividade de leitura e de escrita concreta e histórica; com características relativamente estáveis, vinculada a uma situação típica da comunicação social; com traços temáticos, estilísticos e composicionais concernentes a enunciados individuais, dessa forma, ligados à atividade humana. Os aspectos literários do gênero em foco, sob a ótica da Linguística Aplicada e da Análise Dialógica do Discurso, revelam os vários movimentos na dinâmica da interação verbal. Assim, ao refletirmos acerca do conto brasileiro contemporâneo, podemos dimencionar a importância de seu reconhecimento para a leitura como construção dos sentidos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa teórica, com caráter qualitativo de análise da geração dos dados, fins explicativos e método de abordagem dialético.
Formas variantes do imperativo de segunda pessoa nos séculos XIX e XX: A expressão do social
Authors: RUMEU Márcia Cristina de Brito
Published: April 2017

Neste trabalho, buscam-se rastros da realidade sincrônica do português brasileiro em relação à expressão gramatical variável do imperativo de 2a pessoa do singular ("fala você") à luz de dados do final do século XIX e da 1a metade do século XX ("Agora seja tu o laso de união[1] ..." (1919)). Com base na análise de missivas pessoais oitocentistas e novecentistas, redigidas por brasileiros cultos e integrantes de uma mesma família brasileira (a família Pedreira Ferraz-Magalhães) cujos perfis sociolinguísticos foram identificados (ROMAINE, 1982; CONDE SILVESTRE, 2007; HERNÀNDEX-CAMPOY; CONDE SILVESTRE, 2014), reflete-se sobre a representatividade das categorias sociais gênero e faixa etária para a investigação acerca da expressão variável do imperativo de 2a pessoa. Na perspectiva de uma análise metodologicamente orientada pela sociolinguística quantitativa de base Laboviana, (cf. LABOV, 1994, 2001), confirma-se a hipótese de que o imperativo abrasileirado, nos termos de Scherre (2007), tende a se firmar no português brasileiro, visto que os jovens pareceram se encaminhar na direção histórica da mudança em progresso[1] O dado em questão pertence ao conjunto de missivas da família Pedreira Ferraz-Magalhães. “(...) Meu consolo é resar por ella, e chorar. Espero que me escrevas contando tudo que lhe diz respeito, pôde fazer os Votos. Que doença foi? Já te imaginarás todo meu soffrimento! Agora seja tu o laso de união entre todos, porem com prudencia, sobretudo com ás Dorothéas”. (Carta redigida por uma mulher (MRPCAM), com 41 anos, ao irmão (JPCAM), com 38 anos. Montevidéu, 11.09.1919.)
Cláusulas relativas na fala espontânea do português do Brasil: Um estudo exploratório baseado no corpus c-oral-brasil
Authors: Bonjardim da Silva Carmo Crysna , Mello Heliana
Published: April 2017

Este artigo sistematiza o resultado de investigações exploratórias sobre as cláusulas relativas encontradas no minicorpus de fala espontânea do português do Brasil (PB), etiquetado informacionalmente, extraído do corpus C-ORAL-BRASIL. A seleção dos dados enfocou a identificação dos enunciados nos quais as cláusulas relativas ocorrem. Para essa tarefa, utilizou-se a plataforma DB – IPIC (Panunzi & Gregori, 2011). Em seguida, para triagem das cláusulas relativas, empregou-se a ferramenta computacional AntConc (Anthony, 2013). Para verificação da estrutura informacional dos enunciados, adotou-se o programa WinPitch (Martin, 2004). Os resultados encontrados: (i) corroboram, em termos prosódicos, a diferença entre cláusulas relativas restritivas e relativas não-restritivas – as primeiras ocorrem linearizadas numa mesma unidade informacional e as últimas, padronizadas em mais de uma unidade informacional; e (ii) demonstram que no PB, ambas ocorrem preferencialmente na unidade de COM, e mesmo o padrão informacional preferencial das relativas não-restritivas é resultado da combinação com uma unidade informacional de COM. Além disso, o artigo apresenta uma descrição de cláusulas relativas através de um  modelo diagramático que permite  alcançar: (i) as relações internas entre  cláusula relativa  e  principal; e (ii) a estrutura informacional definidora da estrutura interna dos enunciados –  escopo de realização das cláusulas relativas.
Pesquisa escolar significativa e o bibliotecário: questão essencial para a infoeducação
Authors: Pieruccini Ivete
Published: April 2017

Introdução: A pesquisa escolar e as dificuldades para torná-la prática qualificada e efetiva no cotidiano da educação de crianças e jovens, em nosso país, é tema recorrente tanto para bibliotecários, como para professores e demais educadores em geral.Objetivo: A partir da problematização de enfoques que apontam causas de ordem pedagógica e metodológica para tais dificuldades, o artigo apresenta e defende a concepção de pesquisa significativa, noção que alarga perspectivas da pesquisa como ato de conhecimento pelos mais variados segmentos infantis e juvenis.Metodologia: Ancorando-se nos fundamentos da Infoeducação, a noção de pesquisa significativa é discutida a partir do papel essencial dos dispositivos informacionais educativos e do bibliotecário, tomado como mediador cultural.Resultados: O estudo mostrou que a pesquisa significativa encontra-se em relação direta com os chamados dispositivos informacionais dialógicos, uma vez que tais  instâncias de mediação cultural, por serem orientadas  por princípios da apropriação informacional, conforme proposto pela Infoeducação, são capazes de resignificar relações dos sujeitos com a informação e o conhecimento. A ordem resultante das articulações entre ambiente, linguagens, repertórios, práticas informacionais e pedagógicas, nesses dispositivos,  constituem mediações que favorecem  processos de  construção de vínculos entre os sujeitos e o conhecimento, implicando de modo  específico os saberes e fazeres do bibliotecário, na contemporaneidade.Conclusões: A noção de pesquisa significativa faz frente a situações em que crianças e jovens realizam buscas esvaziadas de sentido, restituindo ao ato de conhecer seu papel de ação sobre o mundo material e imaterial, objetivo e subjetivo, forma ativa e necessária à apropriação de informação, de sentidos, à construção de identidades. Trata-se de mudança paradigmática que envolve a redefinição de dispositivos informacionais educativos, tais como bibliotecas escolares e públicas (especialmente), tanto quanto o papel do bibliotecário, em contextos educativos.

Published: April 2017

O setor supermercadista demonstra importância para a economia e para o desenvolvimento de diversas regiões brasileiras. Neste contexto, o trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as principais causas da rotatividade em uma rede de supermercados localizado da região Oeste de Santa Catarina no ponto de vista dos funcionários. Os instrumentos para coleta de dados foram primeiramente uma pesquisa documental com as entrevistas de desligamento, seguida por um grupo focal e uma entrevista semi estruturada. A pesquisa documental guiou a elaboração do roteiro para o grupo focal, realizado com funcionários da empresa, bem como, o roteiro da entrevista semi estruturada que foi realizada com a gerente de Recursos Humanos da rede. Para análise dos dados, realizou-se triangulação a partir de categorias pré-estabelecidas com base na literatura pesquisada e extraídas do campo. Para auxiliar na análise da categorias utilizou-se um software estatístico. Concluiu-se que os motivos principais que contribuem para a rotatividade nesta rede de Supermercados são os aspectos relacionados ao bem-estar no trabalho, justiça e equidade, liderança e relacionamento com colegas de trabalho. A partir das conclusões realizaram-se sugestões de melhoria que são apresentadas no decorrer deste artigo.
Malhas da hospitalidade
Authors: Teixeira Faustino
Published: April 2017

O século XXI depara-se com um dos desafios mais candentes de todos os tempos. Como reagir aos impasses que acompanham o ciclo do Antropoceno, com todas as suas consequências nefastas e necrófilas ? Duas possibilidades se apresentam: a conformidade diante da situação ou a reação crítica e profética, com base na esperança da hospitalidade e do diálogo. Num tempo marcado pelo crescimento dos etnocentrismos, xenofobismos e fundamentalismos, a provocação do diálogo e da acolhida ao outro urge com um significado único. Diálogo e Hospitalidade são expressões que se interagem e complementam.  Diante do quadro atual, marcado pelo apelo da interligação, há que ampliar as malhas dessa acolhida, envolvendo não apenas os humanos, mas abrindo o leque para a dimensão mais ampla de toda a criação. O ser humano está relacionado, está vinculado na rede maior que tece o universo. Habitar a Terra ganha, assim, um significado novo, de inserção do humano no mundo da vida.

 

Summary:

The 21st century faces one of the most singular challenges of all times. How to react to the obstacles that follow the cycle of the Anthropocene, with all its disastrous and putrid consequences? There are two possible ways: acceptance of the situation or the critical and prophetic reaction, that lies on the ground of hospitality and dialogue. When ethnocentrism, xenophobia and fundamentalism grow, dialogue and acceptance of the other urge with a special meaning. Dialogue and Hospitality are expressions that interact and complement each other. Facing the current situation, that is asking for interconnection, we must broaden the fabrics of this reception, including not only human beings, but opening the scope to a wider dimension of all creation. Humankind is related, is linked to a larger web that weaves the universe. Inhabiting the Earth gains a new meaning, to be part of life itself.

Information Literacy and Instruction:LibGuides for Instruction: A Service Design Point of View from an Academic Library
Authors: German Elizabeth
Published: April 2017

Whether you work in a school library or a public library, a large university library or small community college library, you probably use LibGuides or an open-source alternative. Research and class guides are so common and easy to create that they proliferate widely, leading to quality-control challenges in maintaining and updating guides. Elizabeth German provides insights as to how you can transform your LibGuides from a collection of guides to an instruction-oriented service using two different but complementary lenses: service design thinking and e-learning project planning. She takes a step-by-step approach to each lens, using concrete, easily comprehensible examples and references to additional sources of information to help librarians identify the important elements and principles of each lens. Ultimately, she encourages you to think about your research and class guides as a service that is intended to support a specific type of library user: the learner.—Sarah LeMire, editor
Book Review: The Librarian’s Nitty-Gritty Guide to Content Marketing
Authors: Cummings Lara
Published: April 2017

The Librarian’s Nitty-Gritty Guide to Content Marketing is a must-read for every librarian or library considering creating or revamping a marketing or social media plan. At a time when many librarians still consider simply posting a comment to their library’s Facebook page or Twitter feed to be “advertising for a program,” this guide provides excellent advice.
Book Review: Conflict in Ancient Greece and Rome: The Definitive Political, Social, and Military Encyclopedia
Authors: Bemis Michael F.
Published: April 2017

Classical civilization represents the foundation upon which rests all of modern-day Western society. The English language, in particular, is larded with allusions to the Greeks and Romans of yesteryear, from “Achilles’s heel” to “deus ex machina” to “Trojan Horse,” which make reference to the many influences that these cultures have had on our art, literature, theater, and, unfortunately, war and military (mis)adventures. For all these reasons, it behooves the modern reader to have at least a passing familiarity with what transpired all those thousands of years ago. The editors would appear to agree with this assessment, as they state in the “Preface” that this three-volume work “is intended to fill a gap in current reference works. It meets the need for a standard reference work on Greek and Roman military history and related institutions that is accessible to nonspecialists” (xxiii). Just what criteria the editors used in framing this statement is unknown; however, a literature search reveals many well-regarded titles covering this subject matter. From the topic-specific, such as John Warry’s Warfare in the Classical World: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Weapons, Warriors, and Warfare in the Ancient Civilizations of Greece and Rome (University of Oklahoma Press 1995) to the more general, such as the venerable Oxford Classical Dictionary (Oxford University Press 2012), now in its fourth edition, there is certainly no shortage of print reference materials concerning warfare during the time of the Greek and Roman empires.
Book Review: Fashion Fads through American History: Fitting Clothes into Context
Authors: Church Donna
Published: April 2017

Many works have explored the history of dress and its significance in larger cultural movements, such as the detailed overviews of clothing customs addressed in Clothing through American History edited by Amy T. Peterson and Amy T. Kellogg (Greenwood 2008) or the insightful works of Valerie Steele including the Berg Companion to Fashion (Oxford 2010) and Fifty Years of Fashion (Yale 2000). However, most of these works look at the seminal movements and most enduring fashion statements while this volume addresses the more ephemeral but still significant fads in fashion culture.
Book Review: Natural Resource Conflicts: From Blood Diamonds to Rainforest Destruction
Authors: Presley Lisa
Published: April 2017

This two-volume set explores nearly seventy international case studies related to the environmental and political aspects involved in natural resource management. As the title suggests, the focus is on geographic areas where conflict has ensued as a result of the scarcity or abundance of natural resources in the area. Each case study is framed as a question, and includes an overview of the topic, as well as two essays that are often points of debate surrounding the topic. The volumes are divided geographically, and volume 1 covers, international conflicts, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific, while volume 2 covers the Americas and Europe. Additionally, volume 2 contains 120 pages of key concepts that provide descriptions and details which range in length from one paragraph (“Endangered Species Act”) to four pages (“environmental ethics”).
Book Review: Today’s Economic Issues: Democrats and Republicans; Today’s Social Issues: Democrats and Republicans
Authors: Wiebe Todd J.
Published: April 2017

Here I get the unique pleasure of reviewing two separate books in one shot. They are the first two volumes in ABC-CLIO’s Across the Aisle series, examining contemporary economic and social issues from the perspectives of America’s two most prominent and increasingly polarized political parties. Both volumes adhere to the same format and structure, and entries are comparable in quality and depth, the only difference being that Today’s Economic Issues contains a forward and introduction, whereas Social Issues has only a brief introduction. The former is an edited volume, whereas the latter is authored solely by Kneeland. As for the main content, the publisher is clearly going for uniformity throughout the series, so with my sincere apologies to the unique contributions of the authors and editors, I will for the most part be reviewing the two books together.

The sample was composed of 260 students, attending different public and semi-public schools in the Murcia Region (Spain), with ages ranging from 8 to 15 years old. Creativity was assessed with the Torrance Test of Creativity Thinking (TTCT) and the Test of Creative Imagination (PIC). Results suggest that, even though both tests are based on the psychometric approach and Guilford´s theory of creativity, their scores are not significantly correlated. Results from confirmatory factor analysis suggest two independent factors (one for each test), more related to tasks’ demands and contents than with the cognitive processes traditionally considered in the definition and measurement of creativity. 
Physical disgust, germ aversion and antifat attitudes: the mediational effect of perceived controllability of weight
Authors: Magallares Alejandro , Morales Jose Francisco
Published: April 2017

Antifat attitudes refer to stereotyping based on people’s weight. A potential explanation for the strong negative attitudes toward obese individuals relates to people’s emotional reactions. In this study, conducted with 373 female students, it is suggested that physical disgust, germ aversion and perceived controllability of weight play a central role in explaining the individual differences that exist in antifat attitudes. Our results showed a positive relationship between physical disgust and germ aversion. Additionally, it has been found a positive correlation between physical disgust and perceived controllability of weight. Furthermore, a positive relationship between antifat attitudes, physical disgust and germ aversion was found.  Finally, perceived controllability of weight was positively related with antifat attitudes. The path analysis conducted showed the mediational effect of perceived controllability of weight in the relationship between physical disgust and antifat attitudes. Finally, it is discussed the results in the frame of antifat attitudes literature.
Spatial numerical estimation within proprioceptive recalibration
Authors: Gomes de Castro Thiago , Pinhatti Marcelle Matiazo , Freitas Clarissa Pinto Pizarro de , Gomes William Barbosa
Published: April 2017

Research has emphasized that the body's position in space and patterns of visual searching for stimuli are crucial variables to explain the ability to estimate distances numerically. In this paper, we tested the hypothesis that proprioception recalibration interferes in the ability to numerically estimate fixed peri-personal space. The Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) experimental paradigm was applied as a tool to temporally manipulate the sense of proprioception in participant’s right hand. Seventeen college students were asked to estimate fixed horizontal spatial cues before and after two conditions of tactile stimulation within RHI (synchronous versus asynchronous stroking). Results evidenced that proprioceptive recalibration of the hand were temporally altered by both stroking patterns. However, the effects of numerically estimate fixed horizontal cues towards the body midline were only consistently observed in the synchronous stroking condition. Those findings suggest that numerical estimates of peri-personal fixed cues are strongly associated with proprioceptive recalibration, corroborating the literature on multisensory integration of perception.

The objective of this study is to test the explanatory power of certain reading and attentional variables over naming speed performance depending on diagnosis. A sample of 132 students, divided into four groups (Control, n=34; Reading difficulties, n= 22; ADHD, n=41; and ADHD+Reading Difficulties, n=35) was used. The results show: 1) without any difficulties, naming speed is explained by IQ, age and gender; 2) in the presence of reading difficulties, reading errors are the variables with more explanatory power; 3) in the presence of attentional difficulties, certain attentional variables such as those provided by the TOVA test were shown to be more significant.

Published: April 2017

The present study evaluated the effectiveness of educational intervention software, Playing with Numbers-2 on early mathematics learning. This software trains learning and mathematical reasoning skills, using an evidenced-based procedure. A total of 156 second-year preschool boys and girls (Mean age = 65.39 months) were assessed by the Early Numeracy Test (ENT), a computerized test to evaluate early math competency. An experimental design with control group and pre and post-intervention assessments was used. Significant differences between pre- and post- intervention for the experimental group was obtained average increase for ENT scores achieved by the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group. The effect size was also significant (d = 1.35; and r = 0.56). This educational intervention using computer-based software, while it does not replace face-to-face instruction, may help to improve the performance of young students at risk of developing problems learning mathematics.
Affects, resources, culture and perceived health: what is the relationship among them?
Authors: Merino Mª Dolores , Privado Jesús , Gracia Zeus
Published: April 2017

The purpose of this research is to understand if the relationship between positive and negative affect (PA/NA) and perceived health is mediated by psychosocial resources, and, whether culture (collectivistic vs. individualistic) has a role in that relationship. Structural Equation Models were applied: The first expressed the direct and indirect relationship PA/NA to health. The second reflected indirect influence of PA/NA on health and, resources mediated between both. Both models were tested in two cultures: one individualistic (Spain) and the other collectivistic (Mexico). The results showed that models work differently in both cultures. In Spain there were no significant differences between the two models. In Mexico, the direct and indirect relationship model functions better. These results have interesting implications: The influence of PA/NA on health could be different depending on the culture, so, future research to reconsider the cultural variable, would be interesting. The way PA vs. NA influences perceived health is different; PA can influence directly and indirectly, through psychosocial resources, while NA can only influence directly.  It would be fascinating if future research would replicate this, including more countries, and, using biological measurements of health.
Spanish adaptation of the Passion Toward Work Scale (PTWS)
Authors: Serrano-Fernández María José , Boada-Grau Joan , Gil-Ripoll Carme , Vigil-Colet Andreu
Published: April 2017

Passion at work has a great influence on the occupational health of workers. Vallerand and his collaborators have defined two types of passion, Harmonious and Obsessive. In the first type, people feel obliged to carry out an activity but freely decide to do it and do so in harmony with other aspects of their lives. And in the second, although the person likes the activity, they feel obliged to take part in it because of internal circumstances that exercise control over them.  In this context, the objective was to adapt Vallerand and Houlfort’s Passion towards Work Scale (PTW) into Spanish. The participants were 513 workers, selected through non-probability sampling. We used the FACTOR program (version 7.2) and SPSS 20.0. The results of the CFA (ESEM) for the PTW scale supported the two-factor model (Harmonious Passion and Obsessive Passion), presented adequate reliability and evidence of validity with Burnout, Irritation, Engagement and Self-Efficacy.  The PTW Scale and Questionnaire are reliable and valid instruments, suitable for being used in Spanish. 
Bullying/Cyberbullying en quinto y sexto curso de primaria: diferencias entre centros públicos y privados
Authors: Machimbarrena Juan M , Garaigordobil Maite
Published: April 2017

The study aimed to analyse the prevalence of bullying/cyberbullying and to study the level of bullying/cyberbullying suffered, perpetrated and observed in public and private schools. Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, the test "Cyberbullying: Screening of peer harassment” was administered to a sample of 1,993 pupils from the Basque Country attending 5th and 6th grade of elementary school, 49% in public and 51% in private schools. The results revealed that: (1) There were no statistical differences between public or private schools in the percentage of pure-victims, pure-aggressors, bully-victims and observers either in bullying or in cyberbullying; (2) Nevertheless, when analyzing victims or perpetrators in general (not just pure-victims/pure-aggressors), the percentage of students who had suffered physical, verbal, social and psychological abuse; who had physically and verbally assaulted others; and who had observed physical, verbal and psychological aggression was significantly higher in public schools; (3) In public schools, cybervictims suffered significantly more of four out of fifteen cyberbullying behaviours, and cyberobservers also witnessed one behaviour significantly more; (4) The level of abuse suffered in bullying/cyberbullying was significantly higher in public schools, as well as the level of aggressive behaviours observed in face-to-face aggressions. These results reveal that the type of school can be a relevant factor.
Factor structure and stability of a quality questionnaire within a postgraduate program
Authors: Moguerza Javier M. , Fernández-Muñoz Juan José , Redchuk Andrés , Cardone-Riportella Clara , Navarro-Pardo Esperanza
Published: April 2017

In this work we describe an instrument based on the use of a factor analysis technique in order to measure the quality of education within a Postgraduate degree offered by a public Spanish university. We showed that the instrument has satisfactory psychometric properties (reliability and validity). Regarding the factorial solution, three main dimensions have been determined, namely: importance given to the subject; educational resources and knowledge of the subject (previous and posterior). It is important to remark that these three dimensions were consistently detected in all the factorial analyses performed (total sample and separate academic years). These three dimensions should be considered as fundamental when designing an instrument to evaluate educational quality. These findings may be taken as a basis for the design of future strategies for the evaluation of educational quality on other type of degrees within the higher education area.

Authors: Mesquita Araujo Sarah Nilkece , Fortes Santiago Roberta , Santos Barbosa Cristhiano Neiva , Fortes Figueiredo Maria do Livramento , Leite Rangel Andrade Elaine Maria , Sampaio Nery Inez
Published: April 2017

Introducción: El envejecimiento poblacional se configura como un fenómeno mundial y las tecnologías en salud constituyen una importante herramienta dirigida a esta población.

El objetivo fue identificar en la literatura sobre el uso de las tecnologías blandas, blando-duras y duras en el cuidado de personas mayores.

Metodología: Se trata de un estudio de revisión integradora de la literatura realizada en las bases de datos Medical Li¬terature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE – Portal de la CAPES), Literatura Latinoamericana y Ciencias de la Salud del Caribe (Lilacs) y Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), a través de los descriptores: anciano, tecnología, servicios de salud y cuidado y sus corresponidientes en inglés. Se incluyeron artículos completos, originales y publicados en enero de 2010 a octubre de 2015, en portugués, inglés y español, realizados con personas de 60 años o más.

Resultados: Los estudios discutidos trabajan principalmente con tecnologías duras de cuidado con los ancianos, por la utilización de software y sensores de movimiento. En las tecnologías blando-duras fue observada la validación de folletos educativos y en las tecnologías blandas fueron trabajadas las temáticas de comunicación y el empoderamiento de las personas mayores en los servicios de salud.

Conclusión: Se concluye que la aplicación y el desarrollo de tecnologías adaptadas a las necesidades de los ancianos es necesario para establecer las condiciones adecuadas e innovadoras para la atención satisfactoria a este segmento de la población.
Efecto del temperamento infantil en el peso del niño preescolar: una revisión sistemática
Authors: Amaro Hinojosa Marily Daniela , Flores Pena Yolanda
Published: April 2017

Antecedentes: El temperamento es una variable que recientemente ha resultado de interés por considerarse un factor de riesgo de la obesidad infantil. Algunos estudios señalan que el temperamento difícil se asocia al incremento del peso en los preescolares.  

Objetivo: Analizar la literatura disponible sobre la asociación entre el temperamento infantil y el IMC del niño preescolar.

 Métodos: Se realizó una revisión de la literatura sobre estudios que evaluaran la asociación entre el temperamento e índice de masa corporal en el niño preescolar, la búsqueda se realizó en los meses de mayo y junio del 2016, en bases de datos como Pubmed, EBSCO host, Ovid, Springer Link y Google académico, se incluyeron estudios que no tuvieran más de 10 años de haberse publicado y que cumplieran con los criterios de inclusión y calidad en la metodología y resultados presentados, como referencia para la evaluación de los estudios se utilizó la guía Critical Apprasisal Skills Programme Español.

Resultados: Se encontraron 784 artículos, de los cuales solo nueve se incluyeron para esta revisión, seis de los estudios evaluaban el temperamento en base a la reactividad atencional y/o rasgos, tres evaluaban el temperamento en base a la autorregulación del niño y solo uno evaluó tanto la reactividad emocional como la autorregulación. Pareciera que la reactividad negativa y la baja autorregulación son factores asociados a la obesidad infantil en la edad preescolar.

Conclusiones: La literatura encontrada sugiere que es necesaria mayor investigación para determinar el comportamiento del temperamento en torno a la obesidad en los niños.
Bounded, minimal, and short representations of unit interval and unit circular-arc graphs. Chapter II: algorithms
Authors: Soulignac Francisco
Published: April 2017

This is the second and last chapter of a work in which we consider the unrestricted, minimal, and bounded representation problems for unit interval (UIG) and unit circular-arc (UCA) graphs.
In the unrestricted version (${\rm R{\small EP}}$), a proper circular-arc (PCA) model $\mathcal M$ is given and the goal is to obtain an equivalent UCA model $\mathcal U$.
In the bounded version (${\rm B{\small OUND}R{\small EP}}$), $\mathcal M$ is given together with some lower and upper bounds that the beginning points of $\mathcal U$ must satisfy.
In the minimal version (${\rm M{\small IN}UCA}$), the circumference of the circle and the length of the arcs in $\mathcal U$ must be simultaneously as small as possible, while the separation of the extremes is greater than a given threshold.
In this chapter we take advantage of the theoretical framework developed in Chapter I to design efficient algorithms for these problems. We show a linear-time algorithm with negative certification for ${\rm R{\small EP}}$, that can also be implemented to run in logspace. We develop algorithms for different versions of ${\rm B{\small OUND}R{\small EP}}$ that run in linear space and quadratic time. Regarding ${\rm M{\small IN}UCA}$, we first show that the previous linear-time algorithm for ${\rm M{\small IN}UIG}$ (i.e., ${\rm M{\small IN}UCA}$ on UIG models) fails to provide a minimal model for some input graphs. We fix this algorithm but, unfortunately, it runs in linear space and quadratic time. Then, we apply the algorithms for ${\rm M{\small IN}UIG}$ and ${\rm M{\small IN}UCA}$ (Chapter I) to find the minimum powers of paths and cycles that contain given UIG and UCA models, respectively.
L’explorateur urbain à la recherche d’un temps perdu : visiter l’entre-deux ou la quête d’une expérience radicale
Authors: Baillargeon Taïka , Lefebvre Sylvain
Published: April 2017

Pour la ville et ses acteurs, les ruines sont souvent considérées comme des problèmes à gérer. Or, les ruines à l’abandon connaissent aujourd’hui une popularité incroyable (High, 2013; Sumida, 2015). Considérant cette popularité, la présence de bâtiments et de sites fortement dégradés peut parfois représenter un potentiel de mise en tourisme. S’il s’agit d’un tourisme très marginal, il nous révèle néanmoins une perception tout à fait singulière de la ruine et de la friche. L’explorateur urbain est une figure incontournable de cette forme particulière de tourisme noir. Pour mieux comprendre sa pratique et sa perception des ruines, nous proposons de dresser un portrait exhaustif de l’exploration urbaine, tout en analysant les principales motivations des explorateurs.

De tous temps, les humains ont manifesté à l’égard des enfants une double attitude, en apparence contradictoire : le besoin de les protéger pour conserver à travers eux une bribe d’immortalité; et le besoin de s’en protéger car les enfants sont une menace puisque, comme le dit l’adage, ils nous enterront tous. Les cultures humaines ont toutes vécu avec cette double conception qui leur a inspiré des mouvements divers mais le deuxième terme de la contradiction l’a toujours emporté. Le besoin de mettre les enfants à distance, de les contrôler, même au prix de la violence, a dominé pendant des siècles jusqu’au moment où a émergé, non sans mal, l’idée que les enfants avaient des droits et que ces droits devaient être protégés par des textes, au même titre que les droits de l’homme dont ils sont issus. Mais ce chemin sera encore long.
Châtiments corporels sur les enfants : conséquences légales au Canada
Authors: Laurin Geneviève
Published: April 2017

La revue des plus récentes études psychosociales et neurologiques révèle sans équivoque que les châtiments corporels constituent une méthode de discipline qui est non seulement inefficace et sans effet bénéfique, mais qui pose au contraire un risque important d’effets préjudiciables à court, moyen et long terme pour les enfants, notamment en raison de leurs impacts négatifs sur leur santé physique et mentale de même que sur leur développement. D’autre part, l’analyse de la jurisprudence en lien avec les châtiments corporels depuis Canadian Foundation for Children, Youth and the Law c. Canada [2004] 1 RCS 76 démontre qu’en vertu de l’article 43 du Code criminel, la protection accordée aux parents canadiens qui utilisent ces méthodes de discipline est extrêmement limitée devant les tribunaux canadiens, puisque les critères stricts établis dans cet arrêt rendent cette défense pratiquement inapplicable. Pour ces raisons, la légitimité de l’article 43 du Code criminel doit être remise en cause.
Encadrement des élèves doués et talentueux en mathématiques : comment développer leur plein potentiel?
Authors: Freiman Viktor , Manuel Dominic
Published: April 2017

Les élèves doués et talentueux qui se trouvent dans nos salles de classe ne semblent pas avoir beaucoup d’occasions de développer leur plein potentiel. Ce constat est soulevé dans plusieurs articles de recherche, les rapports gouvernementaux et les témoignages provenant de milieux de pratiques éducatives. Au Nouveau-Brunswick, où le système éducatif tend à mettre en pratique sa vision d’une école inclusive qui répond aux besoins de tous ses élèves, la recherche d’une réponse à la problématique de douance et de talent est donc un sujet d’actualité. Dans un contexte d’enseignement de mathématiques, plusieurs initiatives ont été mises en place depuis 15 dernières années pour aider les élèves doués à développer leurs talents. Dans notre article, on ressort différents bienfaits de programmes d’accélération, d’enrichissement, de résolution de problèmes complexes en ligne, divers projets extracurriculaires et parascolaires, ainsi que des enjeux qui y sont associés, dont le régime pédagogique, les ressources appropriées, la formation des enseignants et la collaboration avec la communauté.
Sexe, genre et contexte : Une compréhension en matière de promotion de la santé sexuelle et prévention du VIH/ITS auprès des jeunes autochtones au Nouveau-Brunswick
Authors: Dubé Anik , Boudreau Julie Émelie
Published: April 2017

Au Canada, les jeunes autochtones sont confrontés de plus en plus aux taux importants d’infections transmissibles sexuellement (ITS) et à une épidémie du virus de l’immunodéficience humaine (VIH). Des expériences historiques et les conditions sociales actuelles interagissent pour avoir une incidence sur la vulnérabilité de la population autochtone. Le but de cette étude ethnographique était d’améliorer la compréhension de la santé publique des jeunes autochtones et leurs expériences en matière de promotion de la santé sexuelle et de prévention de VIH/ITS. Un devis qualitatif axé sur l’approche communautaire et culturelle a servi à comprendre l’expérience des jeunes pour accéder à des services de dépistage. Vingt jeunes ont participé à l’étude. L’analyse thématique a permis d’identifier quatre thèmes : financement et législation; intergénération et santé sexuelle; contexte de santé sexuelle et éducation; perceptions des services de santé sexuelle et dépistage du VIH/ITS. Il est essentiel que les prestataires de santé et les décideurs adoptent une approche culturellement adéquate et respectueuse des genres en matière de promotion et de prévention.
Sources d’invalidité et d’erreur dans la traduction ou l’adaptation de tests : un état de la question
Authors: Grondin Julie , Dionne Éric , Fleuret Carole , Boiteau Nancy
Published: April 2017

La traduction ou l’adaptation d’épreuves pour tenir compte de la diversité culturelle et linguistique est de plus en plus fréquente. Différents facteurs expliquent cet engouement comme les impératifs économiques ou encore la complexité de bâtir une épreuve originale. Il est nécessaire de s’assurer que ces opérations de traduction ou d’adaptation se réalisent selon une méthode rigoureuse qui tient compte des principales menaces à la validité. En effet, les concepteurs d’épreuves doivent s’assurer de réduire le plus possible les biais qui pourraient affecter les différents sous-groupes ciblés par l’épreuve à administrer. Il existe peu de ressources francophones visant à présenter les menaces à la validité dans un tel contexte. L’objectif de ce texte est d’apporter une contribution afin de faire le point sur les pièges à éviter dans un contexte de traduction ou d’adaptation.
Place des fêtes de Sami Tchak : à propos des modalités énonciatives de perception de l'altérité par le sujet narrant
Authors: Tandia Mouafou J.-J. Rousseau
Published: April 2017

Cette étude montre que l'identité du sujet narrant, dans un récit littéraire de l'immigration, peut être reconfigurée dans un dispositif d'énonciation, qu'elle procède essentiellement de son rapport à l'altérité. Nos réflexions, abondamment inspirées de l'analyse du discours littéraire, révèlent que cette identité affiche un nouveau visage, loin des stéréotypes et des clichés.
Figures du sujet hybride dans le roman francophone marocain de la diaspora. Cas de Retour à Tanger de Rachid Tafersiti
Authors: Moustir Hassan
Published: April 2017

Cette étude porte sur l'hybridité du sujet migrant, comme construction discursive, telle qu'elle ressort du roman marocain contemporain de la diaspora. A travers l’analyse d’un échantillon de corpus, en l’occurrence Retour à Tanger (Eds. Koutoubia/Alphée, 2009) du Franco-marocain Rachid Tafersiti, elle ambitionne de sonder les ambiguïtés des définitions que s'attribue ledit sujet, aux confluents des territoires et des identités qu'il traverse, et qui s’échelonnent du déni à l’affirmation, en passant par le rejet des critères définitoires de soi et d’une référentialité au premier degré. Cette triple modalité invite à une lecture dynamique des représentations du sujet dans le discours, souvent occultées ou trahies par ce dernier (et par le jeu de la mémoire) et qu’une analyse de l'énonciation dans le texte s’attacherait à élucider.
Le sujet migrant dans le discours littéraire de Nassur Attoumani
Authors: Malela Buata B.
Published: April 2017

Ce propos vise à interroger la modalité par laquelle l’écrivain français de Mayotte, Nassur Attoumani, dessine une figure de l’autre, migrant, dans sa production littéraire. À partir de cette figuration se construit une réflexion sur le sujet comme mode d’articulation entre la matière littéraire et la représentation du monde social. Le point de jonction entre représentation et matérialité littéraire permet de mettre en avant l’idée de sujet comme substance.
Tropicalité : métaphoricité littérale et échange interculturel
Authors: Courbot Léo
Published: April 2017

Un vaste corpus critique et littéraire dont les composantes formulent autant de théories de l'échange interculturel existe déjà, mais des limites significatives décelées au sein des concepts qui les composent ont souvent affaibli leur pérennité critique.

En partant de ces théories et d'oeuvres littéraires transnationales issues de la Caraïbe anglophone, cette présentation propose d'explorer comment les métaphores peuvent se lier aux déplacements géographiques de populations et de cultures pour proposer une désignation nouvelle – la tropicalité, métaphore joignant les tropiques et leur traversée aux tropes – des travaux artistiques et critiques interculturels concernés et de leur éthique de l'échange interculturel.
Effective doses to staff and dose rates emitted from patients undergoing positron emission tomography utilizing 18F- Fluorodeoxglucose
Authors: Kulseng Carl Petter Skaar , Sandstrøm Jon Christoffer
Published: April 2017

IntroductionThe purpose of this two--folded quantitative study was to determine the radiation doses received by staff during 2014 at the PET--department at St. Olavs Hospital in Trondheim, Norway. Although studies show that the doses received by staff performing such examinations are far beneath the limits set by regulation, there was a need to determine how much radiation the staff at this clinic actually was exposed to. We investigated in detail both dose rates emitted by 18 F from different parts of the body to the surroundings along with effective doses to staff during 2014.MethodPart one - Dose rates from 20 patients undergoing FDG-PET/CT--scans were measured with dosimeter RadEye B20 (Thermo Scientific, USA) from five measuring points at three different stages of a standard whole body PET-scan utilizing 18 F-FDG.Part two - Effective doses to five radiographers and four bioengineers were registered daily during 2014. The effective dose measurements were done daily by the staff with personal dosimeter RadEye EPD MK2+ (Thermo Scientific, USA). The dosimeter was worn at chest level. The automatic injector Medrad Intego (Bayer, Germany) administrate the radioactive doses.ResultsPart one - Dose rates emitted from different parts of patients show significant differences. The highest dose rate was measured from the head and sternum of the patients. The knees emit the least dose rate of all body parts and was considerably lower from one meterdistance.Part two - The average effective doses were far below the recommended limits for occupational radiation. The total average effective dose per member of staff was 0.13 mSv in 2014 and the daily average dose was 4.91 μSv/day.ConclusionPart one - 18 F-FDG showed irregular distribution in the body, the lowest dose rates originated from the lower extremities and reflects the metabolism of glucose in the body at rest.Part two - We found significant differences between staff working with both CT and the radioisotope injection compared to the staff working solely with one of these tasks. Nevertheless, all effective- doses were safely within the guideline limits for occupational radiation.
