What caused the French Revolution? by T. Mullaney
Authors: Bresler Jessica
Published: July 2017

Mullaney, Tom. “What caused the French Revolution? - Tom Mullaney ”, edited by Kasia Zabavko. TED-Ed, 27 Oct. 2016, ed.ted.com/lessons/what-caused-the-french-revolution-tom-mullaney#watch. Accessed 12 Feb. 2017.In this Ted-Ed Lesson Tom Mullaney presents a six minute animated film of the causes behind the French Revolution (Watch), an 8 question quiz (Think), additional information in order to foster critical discussions (Dig Deeper), and a forum to discuss the topic (Discuss). All of these sections can be accessed easily by a pinned menu along the right hand side of the page which follows an intuitive sequence. The animated film covers the situation in France from the ideologies that contributed to the start of the revolution to the First French Republic. The film concerns itself in large part with the questions and ideals that the revolution raised over two hundred years ago. While the interactive quiz, which requires a free account, focuses five questions on factual recall and has three short answer questions. Depending on the answer given, the quiz allows the audience to move on to the next question or directs them to try again or to view the film again. The design of the lesson page is minimalistic allowing for easy navigation and makes use of bright colours and obvious hyperlinks to inform the audience of additional available information held offsite.  The synopsis of the French Revolution in the film is simplified in order to fit into a six minute film and should therefore be used as a supporting educational tool for students studying the French Revolution between grades 6 and 11. The age range is based on an advisor to teachers as the ‘Dig Deeper’ section may be unsuitable for younger audiences due to the level of critical thinking skills it requires, which enables it to be better suited to audiences in grades 10 and up. This Ted-Ed Lesson should be included in a list of study aids for use by social studies teachers. Highly Recommended: 3 stars out of 4Reviewer: Jessica BreslerJessica Bresler is a University of Alberta graduate student who is finishing her Master of Library and Information Studies degree in 2017.
Gabby Wonder Girl by J. Grant
Authors: Aitken Leslie
Published: July 2017

Grant, Joyce.  Gabby Wonder Girl, illustrated by Jan Dolby. Fitzhenry and Whiteside, 2016Rising again from Joyce Grant’s imagination, Gabby and Roy, “the dynamic duo,” star in this language development picture book.  This time, their creator’s didactic purposes are disguised in the story of Mrs. Oldham’s rescue from an apple tree.  The primary focus of the lesson underlying their adventures is the concept of interrogatives: “who,”  “where,” “how.”  The sounds and shapes of the letters that comprise these words are explored.   Other words germane to the story, “mask,” “pie,” are also decoded.  The final two pages of the work contain follow-up games and activities.As in Grant’s 2013 work, Gabby Drama Queen, the clear intent is that the young child engaged in the story will be guided by an adult who reads the text and focuses attention on the lesson.  Consider the following example:When she was safely on the ground, Mrs. Oldham plucked a “P” from the poppies, inserted an “i” that was inside the inuksuk, and ended with an “e” from the elf to make…”pie.”Obviously, any reader who can cope, quite independently, with the complex structure of this sentence and, as well, the meaning of such words as “inserted” and “inuksuk,”  is unlikely to need help spelling the word “pie.” (In fact, a child who has come this far in his or her reading is likely to be intellectually beyond Gabby Wonder Girl.)  The publisher suggests, very reasonably, that the book would be suitable for five to seven-year-olds.Jan Dolby’s illustrations support this view.  They are cartoon-like, larger than life, boldly delineated and humorous.  Tracking the highlighted letters and words through the pages of her bright and busy drawings should engross and delight young children.  Long before they are taught to parse a sentence (Is that even done anymore?) they can be introduced to the idea that language has structure.  Such a purpose is commendable; so is the book.   Highly Recommended: 3 out of 4 starsReviewer: Leslie Aitken Leslie Aitken’s long experience as a librarian involved selection of children’s literature for school, public, special, and academic libraries.  She is a former Curriculum Librarian for the University of Alberta.

Authors: Souza Raquel Franco de , Railsback Bruce
Published: July 2017

Este artigo apresenta, em língua portuguesa do Brasil, a Tabela Periódica dos Elementos e seus Íons para Cientistas da Terra, originalmente publicada em inglês. Além de mostrar os elementos em seu estado elementar, o principal diferencial é a incorporação, nesta tabela, das espécies nos múltiplos estados de oxidação que ocorrem natural­mente, o que representa de forma mais fidedigna as condições com as quais os geocientistas normalmente se deparam em seu dia a dia. A nova tabela, consequentemente, mostra muitos elementos por diversas vezes, em diferentes posições, de maneira diferente da tabela convencional. As tendências, padrões, e inter-relações em mineralogia, geoquímica de solos e sedimentos, petrologia ígnea, geoquímica em meio aquoso, geoquímica isotópica e química dos nutrientes, tornam-se perceptíveis neste inovador formato de apresentação. Constitui-se assim em ferramenta importante tanto para iniciantes quanto para os pesquisadores nos níveis mais avançados de investigação em geoquímica, mineralogia e outras ciências afins.

Authors: Silva Tatiana Silva da Silva , Farina Flávia Cristiane , Silva Jorge Luiz Barbosa da , Ayup-Zouain Ricardo Norberto
Published: July 2017

Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (SIG) constituem uma tecnologia aplicável a praticamente todas as áreas de conhecimento. O ensino tradicional em SIG normalmente é baseado em aulas teóricas e exercícios tutoriais, o que não prepara o aluno para seu uso na intercomunicação entre profissionais e solução de problemas reais. O objetivo deste trabalho é definir o impacto do ensino de SIG baseado na solução de problemas sobre as habilidades adquiridas pelos alunos de SIG. Para tal, a disciplina foi dividida em duas fases, sendo a primeira focada em teoria e exercícios tutoriais e, a segunda, na solução de problemas. Ao final de cada fase foi feita uma enquete na plataforma NAVi sobre quão apto o aluno se sente para usar um SIG profissionalmente. Mais de 60% dos alunos responderam ter uma melhora no desempenho. Os resultados demonstram a importância e eficácia da aprendizagem colaborativa baseada em projeto no ensino de SIG.

Authors: Ostadhashemi Leila , Eghlima Mostafa , Arshi Maliheh , Khalvati Maliheh , Khankeh Hamid Reza
Published: July 2017

As professionals, social workers have a special position in relation to considering the needs of children with cancer and their families. Hence, it is important to recognize the experiences and challenges of social workers to improve care of their clients. This study was a qualitative content analysis that aimed to determine a comprehensive understanding of 19 pediatric oncology social workers’ experiences in Iran. Data were collected using semi structured interviews and field observations, analyzed through face content analysis. Concepts extracted from social workers’ experiences consisted of the nature of oncology work, lack of professional competence, low organizational support and professional inferiority that were related to main concept of "exhausting and stressful service". The results indicated that social workers' involvement in stressful and emotionally demanding situations and professional and organizational challenges caused personal exhaustion. In addition to explaining the social workers’ experiences and related factors, the results emphasize the importance of taking care of service providers to prevent them becoming stressed and exhausted. It is also important to protect patients from the consequences of stressed and exhausted care providers so further research is recommended to develop specific intervention.
Dynamics of Implementation and Maintenance of Organizational Health Interventions
Authors: Jalali Mohammad S. , Rahmandad Hazhir , Bullock Sally Lawrence , Ammerman Alice
Published: July 2017

In this study, we present case studies to explore the dynamics of implementation and maintenance of health interventions. We analyze how specific interventions are built and eroded, how the building and erosion mechanisms are interconnected, and why we can see significantly different erosion rates across otherwise similar organizations. We use multiple comparative obesity prevention case studies to provide empirical information on the mechanisms of interest, and use qualitative systems modeling to integrate our evolving understanding into an internally consistent and transparent theory of the phenomenon. Our preliminary results identify reinforcing feedback mechanisms, including design of organizational processes, motivation of stakeholders, and communication among stakeholders, which influence implementation and maintenance of intervention components. Over time, these feedback mechanisms may drive a wedge between otherwise similar organizations, leading to distinct configurations of implementation and maintenance processes.
Domain's Sweep, a Computational Method to Optimise Chemical and Physical Processes
Authors: Balbino Barbosa Filho Alexandre César
Published: July 2017

Many of engineering’s problems are about to optimise equations, functions and process models equations which appear on common or even complex science’s cases. Most applied optimisation methods nowadays can only be used on particular cases, so the main objective of this article is to define a computational method that can optimise or even find target values for specified objective functions and variables, by just using computer effort. Chemical plants involve many differential equations and they can be optimised with more facility now. On this paper, there are shown as example, an optimisation for a chemical reactor, which is found the optimal temperature and volumetric flow rate of feed, for the given objective function being the composition of the desired product. Named Domain’s Sweep, it is an algorithm that evaluate given(s) mathematical function(s) and/or equation(s) by varying your(s) independent variable(s) through loops with a given step size and solving it after closing the degrees of freedom, and finally, with some condition statements, store all the optimum values of given or created objective functions with its respective independent variables. In another words, the user create an objective function and this method find the function’s maximum, minimum or a certain chosen target value, even if it does not have an inflection point in the given search interval of the independent variables.

Authors: Paska Maria , Simonova Iryna , Galuch Bogdan , Basarab Iryna , Masliichuk Olga
Published: July 2017

Studies have been conducted into the content of toxic elements in sprouted and unsprouted lentils, juniper fruits and thyme herb, manufactured samples of semi-smoked sausages whose formulation contained the specified ingredients. The samples were prepared for conducting the study. Measuring the mass fraction of heavy metals is based on the selective absorption of electromagnetic radiation of a certain frequency by atoms of substance in a free state. Metal mass fraction in the mineralizate of a sample of food products was calculated by the calibration dependence of absorption magnitude on mass concentration of the metal. Measurement of copper and zinc mass fractions involved an atomization technique in the air-acetylene flame, with a burner heated to a temperature of around 3000 °C; their content was determined by the magnitude of radiation resonance absorption at analytical wavelength corresponding to the examined metal. It was determined that the investigated vegetable raw materials and semi-smoked sausages did not contain toxic elements that exceeded the standard.
Effects of ambiguity in market reaction to changes in stock recommendations
Authors: Lin Mei-Chen , Lin Chen-Yang , Chiang Ming-Ti
Published: July 2017

This study uses analyst recommendations and three ambiguity proxies, namely ambiguity in fundamentals, ambiguity in information and market ambiguity, to examine market reaction to recommendation changes in the Taiwanese stock market. The authors find that analysts’ recommendation changes have positive effects on subsequent buy-and-hold abnormal returns when market ambiguity is moderate. When ambiguity in fundamentals is low, recommendation changes have a positive influence on smaller firms. The effect of ambiguity in information on stock returns is associated with market ambiguity; market ambiguity is negatively associated with abnormal returns for firms with moderate ambiguity in fundamentals. Investors in a small firm rely more on analyst recommendations.
Examining the popularity trajectory of outsourcing as a management concept
Authors: Øivind Madsen Dag
Published: July 2017

This paper examines the popularity trajectory of outsourcing as a management concept. The paper shows that while outsourcing is an old management practice that has roots that date back centuries, it did not gain widespread popularity as a modern organizational practice until the 1980s. While the initial outsourcing hype and craze of the late 1980s and early 1990s has waned, outsourcing has shown considerable staying power as a management concept, even in the face of counter-movements such as backsourcing and insourcing. Although the experiences with implementation of outsourcing are mixed, outsourcing remains a widely used management concept. However, the current relatively low satisfaction level among users could influence the future popularity trajectory of the outsourcing concept.

Sustainable marketing strategies in the context of a globalized clothing and textile (C&T) sector in Zimbabwe
Authors: Makasi Africa , Govender Krishna
Published: July 2017

This article provides a new perspective on sustainable marketing strategies in the context of a globalized clothing and textile (C&T) sector in Zimbabwe by linking two diverse streams of literature, namely, globalization and marketing strategy. A quantitative approach was adopted to obtain data from 127 respondents using a two-stage cluster sample. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) confirmed three of four hypothesized relationships, namely that integrated co-alliances, modern technology and national policy impact the sustainability of clothing and textile sector in Zimbabwe. The adoption of a standardized marketing strategy characterized by uniform application of the marketing mix elements with minor modifications will have a significant impact on the capacity of the C&T sector to withstand the adverse effects of globalization. The research extends the body of existing knowledge on marketing strategy in the context of globalization of Zimbabwe’s C&T sector, and argues empirically for a new approach to developing and implementing competitive marketing strategies. The research findings will enable companies in the C&T sector of a developing economy to craft competitive marketing strategies, which incorporate internal company capabilities and technology, and also recognize the role of national policy in the globalization discourse.

Published: July 2017

A major concern regarding transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is leaflet thrombosis. Four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) is the preferred imaging modality to evaluate patients with suspected valve thrombosis. To date, the abnormal findings visualized by 4D-CT suggestive of leaflet thrombosis have lacked pathologic confirmation from a surgically explanted valve in a surviving patient. Herein, we provide pathologic confirmation of thrombus formation following surgical explantation of a thrombosed TAVR prosthesis that was initially identified by 4D-CT.

Published: July 2017

Objective: The present study aimed to define characteristics of the patients who were readmitted with the diagnosis of surgical site infections after gynecologic or obstetric procedures and management of these patients. We also reviewed the literature in this context.Study design: We examined 120 patients with surgical site infections that had been hospitalized and managed medically and/or surgically between April 2014 and April 2015. Characteristics of the patients were recorded and analyzed.Results: The mean age of the patients was 33.4±11.8 years. The patients were readmitted for surgical site infections on the mean of 9.6±5.4 days after the first operation. The most frequent procedures resulted with SSI were cesarean delivery, abdominal hysterectomy and vaginal birth. When patients were compared according to these procedures, there were statistically significant differences regarding age, gravida, parity, preoperative white blood cell count, postoperative white blood cell count and antibiotics usage.Conclusion: Combining evidence-based surgical site infections prevention practices and clinician and patient cooperation will result in reduction in surgical site infections incidence following obstetric and gynecologic procedures. Because of economic burden and threat to the physical and psychological health of the patients, these modifiable risks should be recognized and surgical site infections should be minimized. After surgical site infections occurred, diagnosis and proper management with antibiotics and wound care with debridement and secondary suturing is important.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE USE OF A PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM, ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND THE PERFORMANCE OF PUBLIC SECTOR ORGANIZATIONS
Authors: Ahyaruddin Muhammad , Akbar Rusdi
Published: July 2017

This research studies the accountability and performance of public sector organizations. It provides empirical evidence about the relationship between the use of a performance measurement system and the organizational factors of accountability and organizational performance. We investigate the three roles of a performance measurement system (its operational use, incentive use, and exploratory use), and three organizational factors (contractibility, the legislative mandate, and management commitment). A mixed method approach with squential explanatory design was used to answer the research question. The hyphoteses testing used Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). Our findings were based on survey data from 137 SKPD officers in the local government of Yogyakarta Province, and showed that management commitment had a positive association with accountability and organizational performance. We also found a positive association between the legislative mandate and accountability. However, this research did not find any significant association among the three roles of the performance measurement system with accountability and organizational performance. Based on the institutional theory, our findings show substantial contributions by the institutional isomorphism, which was used in an appropriate manner to explain the context of public sector organizations, especially in the local government of Yogyakarta Province.Keywords: the use of performance measurement system, organizational factors, accountability, mixed method
EXTENDED THEORY OF PLANNED BEHAVIOR AS MODEL OF ANABOLIC ANDROGENIC STEROID USE BY INDONESIAN BODYBUILDERS
Authors: Patiro Shine Pintor Siolemba , Dharmmesta Basu Swastha , Nugroho Sahid Susilo , Sutikno Bayu
Published: July 2017

This correlational study explored the psychological antecedents of Indonesian bodybuilders’ intentions to use anabolic–androgenic steroids (AAS), based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The purpose of this research was to identify factors that influence an Indonesian bodybuilder’s intention to use AAS and offer a better understanding of AAS use behavior based on the extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The three predictor variables of (1) attitude, (2) subjective norms, and (3) perceived behavioral control accounted for the variation in the outcome measure of the intention to reuse the AAS. Likewise, (1) attitude and (2) intention accounted for of the variation in the outcome measure of the reuse of AAS. This research combined two methods which are qualitative and quantitative. The respondents who were used in this research are professional bodybuilders located in Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, and Yogyakarta. The result of this research shows that the attitude of bodybuilders in using AAS tends to have values that are adopted by themselves. The result of this research differs from Bagozzi et al (1989) who stated that attitude influenced behavior directly as a nonpurposeful reaction or indirectly through intention as an aimed response. The result of this research clearly shows that attitude can influence behavior directly as a purposeful reaction, because the bodybuilders consume AAS to achieve a particular purpose and it is strengthened by achievement value in themselves. This research suggests also that attitude and subjective norms are not causally independent. They appear to reflect similar beliefs and to influence each other. These results differ from Titah and Barki (2009), as suggested by Chang (1998) and Aarts et al. (1998), who stated that a person whose positive subjective norms move them toward overt behavior, it will lead to a positive attitude toward the behavior. Future research directions are suggested regarding several areas.Keywords: Theory of Planned Behavior; values; steroid; bodybuilders

Authors: Campo Andrés Felipe Piedrahita
Published: July 2017

En el mercado colombiano, las carteras colectivas que invierten en acciones han obtenido en la mayoría de los casos altos retornos, sin embargo, y como se demostrara en el desarrollo de este trabajo, no siempre altos retornos significa generación de valor. Es así como se ha realizado una evaluación a la generación de valor de los administradores de portafolio (Portfolio Managers) de algunas carteras colectivas seleccionadas representativas del mercado colombiano. Para ello se utilizaron 2 modelos: el Capital Asset Price Model (CAPM) y el CAPM de tres factores (Fama – French Model). Durante la investigación se denotó que no existe tal generación de valor para los portafolios administrados de cuatro firmas reconocidas en el mercado colombiano, y no se encontró evidencia que exista la capacidad de generar alfa (α) durante el periodo de análisis (2006-2011).

Revisoría fiscal y control fiscal como formas de control estatal en Colombia
Authors: Barrios Wendell Archibold
Published: July 2017

El fenómeno de la corrupción es un flagelo que ha afectado a las estructurasdemocráticas de los estados. En consecuencia, estos han adoptado medidasde carácter constitucional orientadas a mitigar sus efectos. El control fiscalemerge como el eslabón de mayor relevancia en la cadena de custodia delos recursos pertenecientes al Estado. El objetivo del presente artículo esanalizar la influencia de la revisoría fiscal en el ejercicio del control fiscal estatalen Colombia, en virtud de lo establecido en la Constitución Política deColombia, el Código de Comercio (Decreto 410 de 1971) y la Ley 42 de 1993.Con esta finalidad, se empleó un diseño de investigación no experimentalde carácter bibliográfico de enfoque cualitativo y con un tipo de estudiodescriptivo. El método de investigación utilizado es inductivo mediante elanálisis documental de 47 informes de auditorías realizadas a empresas estatales del orden nacional y territorial y 47 informes emitidos por los revisoresfiscales de empresas que manejan recursos del Estado. Se encontró quelas tareas de control fiscal ejercidas por los funcionarios de las contralorías ylas funciones ejecutadas por los revisores fiscales de las organizaciones quegestionan recursos del Estado son mutuamente excluyentes; por tanto, larevisoría fiscal no ha ejercido influencia positiva en pro de un control fiscalmás eficiente, y consecuentemente no consigue mitigar significativamenteel detrimento del patrimonio público y el deterioro de las instituciones estatalescausado por la corrupción. Como conclusión, se destaca el hecho deque el contador público que actúa como revisor fiscal, es sin duda un funcionarioque desarrolla funciones públicas; por este motivo es convenienteque en las entidades en donde concurren estas dos clases de control estatalestablezcan estrategias de manejo de información y aplicación de procedimientos,con el objeto de que las contralorías utilicen el informe emitidopor el revisor fiscal como fuente de información primaria.
