Authors: Wang Hongjun , Sun Huiling , Blackall Patrick J. , Zhang Zhenhua , Zhou Hongzhuan , Xu Fuzhou , Chen Xiaoling
Published: July 2016

A multiplex (m)PCR and a PCR followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of Avibacterium paragallinarum have been proposed as alternatives to conventional serotyping by the Page scheme. We evaluated both methods, and also sequenced the PCR-RFLP target fragment to reexamine the capacity of molecular serotyping. Eleven reference strains and 27 field isolates were used. Many reference strains and isolates were misidentified as Page serogroup B. The sequence analysis revealed 6 profiles based on the matching rates of the target sequence with the 3 reverse primers of the mPCR. The reference strains and field isolates in profiles 1 and 4 were correctly identified as serogroup A or C by the mPCR. The strains and/or isolates in profiles 2, 3, 5, and 6 could be misidentified as serogroup B or as nontypeable by the mPCR. The homology comparison of the sequences showed that the target sequence of the mPCR, called region 2, was not Page serogroup specific, although some Kume serovars, such as A-1 and C-2, were correctly serotyped. In addition, there was a 9 nucleotide deletion in the sequences of profiles 1, 3, and 5, but not of profiles 2, 4, and 6. Overall, we confirmed that the mPCR and PCR-RFLP molecular assays are not suitable for identifying the serogroups of A. paragallinarum isolates. With further study, analysis of region 2 sequences may have potential as a means of recognizing the Kume serovars of A. paragallinarum isolates.
Pulmonary embolization of immature Fascioloides magna causing fatal hemothorax confirmed by molecular technique in a heifer in the United States
Authors: Lee Jung Keun , Rosser Thomas Graham , Cooley Jim
Published: July 2016

The current report describes the use of a molecular technique to identify immature Fascioloides magna. An 18-month-old Brangus heifer was found dead in the field without any prior clinical signs. The cause of death was exsanguination into the thoracic cavity associated with pulmonary embolization and infection by immature Fascioloides magna resulting in 2 large foci of pulmonary necrosis and focal arteriolar and lung rupture. The liver had a few random migratory tracts with typical iron and porphyrin fluke exhaust, but no identified fluke larvae. A single immature fluke was found in the lungs, and species level identification as F. magna was confirmed by DNA sequence analysis of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS1 region, 5.8S rRNA gene, and ITS2) and of partial 28S rRNA gene sequence. This is one of only a few pulmonary fascioloidiasis cases associated with hemothorax in the veterinary literature.
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
Authors: Pileggi Dominic J. , Cook Aaron M.
Published: July 2016

Objective: To review evidence for the treatment of neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) and to discuss how to rechallenge patients with neuroleptics when continued pharmacotherapy for chronic psychological illness is required. Data Sources: A PubMed search was conducted through March 2016 using available medical subject heading (MeSH) terms and keywords that included neuroleptic malignant syndrome, treatment, dantrolene, and bromocriptine. A manual search of article reference sections followed. Study Selection and Data Extraction: Case reports and case series in English that discussed NMS and atypical NMS treatment as well as neuroleptic rechallenge were included for review. Data Synthesis: The reported incidence of NMS was 0.02% to 0.03%, with a mortality rate of 5.6%. Current literature on NMS is primarily retrospective and emphasizes diagnostic criteria, causative agents, and potential pharmacotherapy. Details regarding timing of administration, dose, and duration of pharmacotherapy are inconsistently reported. Reported dosing strategies and outcomes have been summarized. Instances of rechallenge were infrequently reported but demonstrate that recurrence may happen at any time after NMS resolution. Recommendations regarding safe rechallenge are provided. Conclusion: NMS is a rare adverse drug reaction, with a complex pathophysiology and presentation. Timely diagnosis and discontinuation of antipsychotic therapy is the first-line treatment, followed by supportive care and pharmacotherapy. Antipsychotic rechallenge is often required and should be attempted only after a drug-free period and with a different agent, slowly titrated with close monitoring.
Comparing core-image-based basic verb learning in an EFL junior high school: Learner-centered and teacher-centered approaches
Authors: Yamagata Satoshi
Published: July 2016

The present study investigated the effects of two types of core-image-based basic verb learning approaches: the learner-centered and the teacher-centered approaches. The learner-centered approach was an activity in which participants found semantic relationships among several definitions of each basic target verb through a picture-elucidated card game. By contrast, the teacher-centered approach involved explicit instruction from the teacher explaining how several definitions of the basic target verbs are interrelated. A total of 241 Japanese EFL (English as a foreign language) junior high school students acted as participants in this comparative study to determine the superior approach. At the end of the treatment period, a short questionnaire was distributed. A two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the learner-centered approach was more effective than the teacher-centered approach with regard to both retention rates for learned definitions and accuracy rates for novel definitions of the basic target verbs. The results of paired t-tests for the questionnaire also support these findings. Considering the results, it can be argued that basic verbs may be best taught through a learner-centered collaborative approach, with conventional teacher-centered explicit instruction as a supplement.
Faking to finish: Women’s accounts of feigning sexual pleasure to end unwanted sex
Authors: Thomas Emily J , Stelzl Monika , Lafrance Michelle N
Published: July 2016

In this article, we explore women’s accounts of consensual but unwanted sex, and how these accounts connect to feigning sexual pleasure. Interviews were conducted with 15 women and we employed a discursive analytic approach to examine the data. All women used discursive features (e.g. negation, hedging) to situate at least one of their past sexual experiences as problematic although all avoided the use of explicit labels such as rape or coercion. Furthermore, women commonly faked orgasm as a means to end these troubling sexual encounters. We argue the importance of considering women’s accounts of ‘problem’ sex so these experiences are not dismissed.
Collective action and cultural change: Revisiting Eisenstadt’s evolutionary theory
Authors: Abrutyn Seth , Van Ness Justin , Taylor Marshall A
Published: July 2016

Eisenstadt’s most well-known contributions come primarily from his research on “multiple modernities.” Less appreciated has been his evolutionary theory of cultural change. In this article, we revisit Eisenstadt’s evolutionary theory in order to make explicit his potential contributions to the neo-evolutionary tradition and demonstrate where his contribution can be further appreciated. In short, Eisenstadt’s theory supplements macro-level materialist and micro-level bio-psychological theories by (1) offering a group-level theory that takes agency and historicity seriously by calling attention to the role of institutional entrepreneurs and their projects for cultural change; (2) formulating a multi-linear, multi-directional theory of evolution that avoids determinist traps; (3) highlighting non-materialist crises such as the widespread breakdown in trust, the discontents of centralized and consolidated power, and the collapse of a shared sense of meaning; and (4) accounting for the possible conditions of success or failure. Historical examples are used to illustrate Eisenstadt’s model.
Digital technology in respiratory diseases
Authors: Pinnock Hilary , McKinstry Brian
Published: July 2016

In a world where digital technology has revolutionized the way we work, shop and manage our finances it is unsurprising that digital systems are suggested as potential solutions to delivering clinically and cost-effective care for an aging population with one or more long-term conditions. However, recent evidence suggesting that telehealth may not be quite the panacea that was promised, has led to discussions on the mechanisms and role of digital technology in respiratory care. Implementation in rural and remote settings offers significant benefits in terms of convenient access to care, but is contingent on technical and organizational infrastructure. Telemonitoring systems rely on algorithms to detect deterioration and trigger alerts; machine learning may enable telemonitoring of the future to develop personalized systems that are sensitive to clinical status whilst reducing false alerts. By providing access to information, offering convenient and flexible modes of communication and enabling the transfer of monitoring data to support professional assessment, telehealth can support self-management. At present, all too often, expensive ‘off the shelf’ systems are purchased and given to clinicians to use. It is time for the paradigm to shift. As clinicians we should identify the specific challenges we face in delivering care, and expect flexible systems that can be customized to individual patients’ requirements and adapted to our diverse healthcare contexts.
The need for, and value of, a spatial scan statistical tool for tackling social health inequalities
Authors: Kihal Wahida , Padilla Cindy , Deguen Séverine
Published: July 2016

Today, one important challenge in developed countries is health inequalities. Research conducted in public health policy issues supply little evidence for effective interventions aiming to improve population health and to reduce health inequalities. There is a need for a powerful tool to support priority setting and guide policy makers in their choice of health interventions, and that maximizes social welfare. This paper proposes to divert a spatial tool based on Kulldorff’s scan method to investigate social inequalities in health. This commentary argues that this spatial approach can be a useful tool to tackle social inequalities in health by guiding policy makers at three levels: (i) supporting priority setting and planning a targeted intervention; (ii) choosing actions or interventions which will be performed for the whole population, but with a scale and intensity proportionate to need; and (iii) assessing health equity of public interventions.
Permanent Deiodinase Type 2 Deficiency Strongly Perturbs Zebrafish Development, Growth, and Fertility
Authors: Houbrechts Anne M. , Delarue Julie , Gabriëls Isabelle J. , Sourbron Jo , Darras Veerle M.
Published: July 2016

Iodothyronine deiodinases are selenocysteine-containing enzymes that activate or inactivate thyroid hormones (THs). Deiodinase type 2 (Dio2) catalyzes the conversion of the prohormone T4 into the transcriptionally active T3 and is the predominant activating deiodinase in zebrafish. Using zinc finger nucleases, we generated two different dio2−/− mutant zebrafish lines to investigate the physiological function of this TH activator. The first line contains a deletion of 9 bp, resulting in an in-frame elimination of three conserved amino acids. The other line is characterized by an insertion of 4 bp, leading to the introduction of a premature stop-codon. Both lines completely lack Dio2 activity, resulting in a strong reduction of T3 abundancy in all tissues tested. Early development is clearly perturbed in these animals, as shown by a diverse set of morphometric parameters, defects in swim bladder inflation, and disturbed locomotor activity tested between 1 and 7 days after fertilization. Permanent Dio2 deficiency also provokes long-term effects because growth and especially fertility are severely hampered. Possible compensatory mechanisms were investigated in adult dio2−/− mutants, revealing a down-regulation of the inactivating deiodinase Dio3 and TH receptor transcript levels. As the first nonmammalian model with permanent Dio2 deficiency, these mutant zebrafish lines provide evidence that Dio2 is essential to assure normal development and to obtain a normal adult phenotype.
Minireview: The Link Between ERα Corepressors and Histone Deacetylases in Tamoxifen Resistance in Breast Cancer
Authors: Légaré Stéphanie , Basik Mark
Published: July 2016

Approximately 70% of breast cancers express the estrogen receptor (ER)α and are treated with the ERα antagonist, tamoxifen. However, resistance to tamoxifen frequently develops in advanced breast cancer, in part due to a down-regulation of ERα corepressors. Nuclear receptor corepressors function by attenuating hormone responses and have been shown to potentiate tamoxifen action in various biological systems. Recent genomic data on breast cancers has revealed that genetic and/or genomic events target ERα corepressors in the majority of breast tumors, suggesting that the loss of nuclear receptor corepressor activity may represent an important mechanism that contributes to intrinsic and acquired tamoxifen resistance. Here, the biological functions of ERα corepressors are critically reviewed to elucidate their role in modifying endocrine sensitivity in breast cancer. We highlight a mechanism of gene repression common to corepressors previously shown to enhance the antitumorigenic effects of tamoxifen, which involves the recruitment of histone deacetylases (HDACs) to DNA. As an indicator of epigenetic disequilibrium, the loss of ERα corepressors may predispose cancer cells to the cytotoxic effects of HDAC inhibitors, a class of drug that has been shown to effectively reverse tamoxifen resistance in numerous studies. HDAC inhibition thus appears as a promising therapeutic approach that deserves to be further explored as an avenue to restore drug sensitivity in corepressor-deficient and tamoxifen-resistant breast cancers.
Wind alters landing dynamics in bumblebees
Authors: Chang Jeremy J. , Crall James D. , Combes Stacey A.
Published: July 2016

Landing is an important but understudied behavior that flying animals must perform constantly. In still air, insects decelerate smoothly prior to landing by employing the relatively simple strategy of maintaining a constant rate of image expansion during their approach. However, it is unclear whether insects employ this strategy when faced with challenging flight environments. Here, we test the effects of wind on bumblebees (Bombus impatiens) landing on flowers. We find that bees' approach paths to flowers shift from multidirectional in still air to unidirectional in wind, regardless of flower orientation. In addition, bees landing in a 3.5 m/s headwind do not decelerate smoothly, but rather maintain a high flight speed until contact, resulting in higher peak decelerations upon impact. These findings suggest that wind has a strong influence on insect landing behavior and performance, with important implications for the design of micro aerial vehicles and the ecomechanics of insect flight.
Revolutions and regimes of violence
Authors: Gallant Thomas
Published: July 2016

To study the phenomenon of revolution meaningfully in a cross-cultural context, scholars need frameworks of analysis that allow them to compare and contrast specific revolutions and to identify the factors that explain why certain sociopolitical systems are prone to rebellions and others are not. This article puts forth one such framework focusing on pre- and postrevolutionary violence. Revolution is a violent act and requires men and women who are ready, willing and able to perpetrate violence on behalf of a cause. The model proposes two ideal-type regimes of violence and suggests that some regimes are more violent-prone than others and that those regimes are also more susceptible to revolution. It suggests further that state-building after revolutions entails a process of reforming the regime of violence. The article ends by examining the case of Greece and the Ottoman empire over the long nineteenth century, showing how the models help us to better understand revolutionary and postrevolutionary regimes of violence. 
Local homelands and national projects: territorial representations in the Bulgarian press from the 1840s to the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878)
Authors: Lilova Dessislava
Published: July 2016

This article analyses the representations of the local sense of place in the Bulgarian press from the 1840s to the end of the period of Ottoman rule (1878). Three major topics are outlined: the mediatisation of the local through the domestic news flow; the statistical quantification of the local sense of place by means of geographical descriptions; the local mobilisations during the Russo–Turkish War (1877–1878) which did not meet the expectations of national ideologists. The aim is not only to investigate the mechanisms of integrating the “little homelands” into the national project but to take into account the slow and difficult process of internalising the imagined Bulgarian homeland that took place in the microlaboratories of local communities.

Reconceiving pasts in a digital age
Authors: Tanaka Stefan
Published: July 2016

This essay explores the way that digital media helps us think differently about how we practice history. Digital media can raise two issues about how our current practices can offer new ways to explore the current state of historiography. First, the more one is immersed in digital tools, they make us question first principles, the various practices and assumptions of modern history itself. Second, it offers ways of communicating the past that do not hide the process of “doing” history. In this article I will draw on my project, 1884 Japan, to raise questions about data or the fact. By using recorded happenings, I plan to explore the distancing of fact from the context in which it was embedded. Recorded happenings exist prior to the filtering of importance. It enables us to first recover the heterogeneity of pasts and recover the stories and experiences of a variety of people who have usually been written out of Japanese history. Second, by presenting this material I will suggest a layered, multitemporal history that combines the narrative of national becoming with the experiences of others.

 
Long noncoding RNAs in hematopoiesis
Authors: Zhang Xu , Hu Wenqian
Published: July 2016

Mammalian development is under tight control to ensure precise gene expression. Recent studies reveal a new layer of regulation of gene expression mediated by long noncoding RNAs. These transcripts are longer than 200nt that do not have functional protein coding capacity. Interestingly, many of these long noncoding RNAs are expressed with high specificity in different types of cells, tissues, and developmental stages in mammals, suggesting that they may have functional roles in diverse biological processes. Here, we summarize recent findings of long noncoding RNAs in hematopoiesis, which is one of the best-characterized mammalian cell differentiation processes. Then we provide our own perspectives on future studies of long noncoding RNAs in this field.

Cel pracy

Celem niniejszych badań była analiza, w jaki sposób prężność psychiczna różnicuje stan psychiczny kobiet odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności oraz co stanowi predyktor samopoczucia psychicznego w tej grupie.

Metoda

Badaniami objęto kobiety odbywające karę pozbawienia wolności w Oddziale Zewnętrznym Zakładu Karnego w Czersku dla skazanych kobiet młodocianych, odbywających karę po raz pierwszy i recydywistek penitencjarnych. W badaniach wykorzystano: Skalę Pomiaru Prężności – SPP-25 oraz Skalę HADS-M.

Wyniki

Wyniki pokazały istotne statystycznie korelacje między wynikami skali prężności a wynikami skali HADS-M. Wykazano również, że predykatorami objawów lęku i depresji w badanej grupie jest poziom kompetencji osobistych do radzenia sobie i tolerancja negatywnych emocji (SPP-25). Dodatkowo dla przewidywania stanu lęku istotna jest ilość lat odbywania kary pozbawienia wolności. Analiza regresji wykazała również, że poziom kompetencji osobistych do radzenia sobie i tolerancja negatywnych emocji (SPP-25) oraz otwartość na nowe doświadczenia i poczucie humoru (SPP-25) są istotnymi predyktorami poziomu agresji.

Wnioski

Koncepcja prężności psychicznej (resilience) ma znaczenie dla analizowania różnic w stanie zdrowia psychicznego kobiet odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności i może być wykorzystywana w tworzeniu warunków sprzyjających ograniczaniu negatywnych skutków pobytu w warunkach instytucjonalnego przymusu

Determination of some metals in the commonly consumed dairy products randomly collected from the market in Alexandria - Egypt, with an emphasis on toxicity, permissible limits and risk assessment
Authors: Issa Sahar , Genina Doaa , Al Mazroua Maha , Abdel Rahman Safaa , M Fawzi Marwa
Published: July 2016

The aim of this research was to evaluate the possible contamination by heavy metals of 30 random samples of raw milk and four other dairy products (pasteurized milk, white cheese, yellow cheese, and yoghurt), that were purchased from the three different regions in Alexandria, Egypt namely; (Eastern, Central and Western Alexandria). Each sample was homogenized, powdered, and mineralized in a microwave oven. Quantitative analyses of Al, Se, Zn, Cd, Cu and Pb were performed using an inductively coupled plasma-mass (ICP-MS) spectrometry. Western Alexandria samples had the highest recorded levels in Pb, Cd and Cu (7.421 ppm, and 0.673 ppm, and 5.013 ppm) consecutively. Highest levels detected for Al and Se were detected in samples collected from Eastern Alexandria (2.74 ppm and 0.093 ppm) successively. Zn (31.64 ppm) showed the highest concentration in a sample purchased from Central Alexandria. Further investigations of the levels of metals in bigger number of milk samples from different zones of Alexandria, Egypt are necessary, both to examine this problem from the toxicological, clinical, and epidemiological point of view and, to assess the exposure risk.
Competent or Not?: Exploring Adaptions to the Neo-Behaviorist Paradigm in a Sport Marketing Course
Authors: Tyler B. David , Cruz Laura E.
Published: July 2016

Educators and administrators are exploring competency-based education as an effective and efficient method to facilitate student learning. This reinforces a burgeoning neo-behaviorist movement in higher education which seeks to synthesize such behaviorist approaches with the cognitive focus of the last 20 years. The current research examines the outcomes in three years of a sport marketing class that blends cognitive-based and competency-based pedagogy. The first half of the course is primarily self-paced, with regular quizzes checking student mastery, while the second half of the course has students work in teams on marketing-related projects; a final examination assesses overall student learning. The research revealed that the blended approach resulted in complementary strategies which partially addressed the conventional criticisms of both cognitive- and competency-based pedagogical approaches. The study used paired sample t-tests to compare results on quizzes versus the final exam (N=111 students comprising 36,787 total student-responses), finding that the course's hybrid structure develops student learning in both lower-order and higher-order thinking (as per Bloom's taxonomy). In addition to this approach's pedagogical benefits, the structure may have implications for administrators and educators facing challenges in terms of student enrollment, budgets, and expectations of graduates.

Numerical Study of Heat Transfer and Comfort Conditions in an Air-Cooled Ventilated Room with a Human Heat Source
Authors: Z. C. Briceño  , J. F. Hinojosa
Published: July 2016

A numerical study of the turbulent heat transfer in a two-dimensional rectangular air-cooled ventilated room with a human being as a discrete heat source was carried out in order to determine the best ventilation configuration. The results were obtained for a cavity of 2.5 m of height and 3.0 m of width. The right and left vertical walls of the cavity were kept at 35°C and 25°C respectively, whereas the remaining walls were adiabatic. Three cases for the air inlet and outlet locations were considered for the analysis. The air enters to the cavity at 15°C with speeds between 0.2 m/s and 2.0 m/s. The emissivity of the cavity walls was considered as 0, 0.5 and 1. The results indicate that the configuration (A) (inlet on the lower part of the right vertical wall and outlet on the upper part of the left vertical wall) offers the lowest average temperatures inside the room and the highest temperature distribution effectiveness.

We conducted computational fluid dynamics modeling of the bluff-body stabilized flame known as HM1, which was studied experimentally in detail at the University of Sydney to provide modelers with sufficient measurements to allow validation of their computational models. This benchmark flame is turbulent nonpremixed with a fuel-jet composed of 50% hydrogen and 50% methane by volume (hence the acronym HM) surrounded by a coflow of air, which is bounded by the walls of a wind tunnel. We successfully perfromed computational modeling of this flame, utilizing the published data about the problem settings and using a customized solver based on the open-source control-volume toolkit OpenFOAM. We describe the model settings and report the results of our predictions and show how they agree well with the measurements in terms of axial and radial profiles of miscellaneous flow variables. We conducted the simulation employing two meshes and obtained a reasonably mesh-idepenedent solution. The results suggest that the model can provide satisfactory results with as few as 10000 wedge-type computational cells. The model thus represents a free and fast computer tool to assist in the design of industrial bluff-body burners that possess similarity with the analyzed burner here.
Awareness of HPV and Uptake of Vaccination in a High-Risk Population
Authors: Fishman Jessica , Taylor Lynne , Frank Ian
Published: July 2016

BACKGROUND:

Immunization against the human papillomavirus (HPV) is effective at preventing HPV-related cancers, but vaccination rates have remained low. Levels of awareness could conceivably influence vaccination rates, but currently the relationship is unknown. This is the first study to test how strongly levels of awareness among parents and adolescents are related to subsequent HPV vaccination among a high-risk population of adolescents.

METHODS:

This longitudinal cohort study measured baseline levels of awareness (about HPV, cervical cancer, HPV vaccination, and news or advertisements about HPV vaccination) among parents of adolescents and also a separate sample of adolescents. Participants resided in predominantly low-income, African American neighborhoods of a large American city. During a 12-month follow-up period, the outcome measures were defined as adolescent receipt of any HPV vaccination, as measured by clinic records.

RESULTS:

Within 1 year, <16% of adolescents received vaccination. The relationship between awareness and subsequent vaccination was either not statistically significant or not meaningful in magnitude, with R2 = 0.004 to 0.02. The predicted probability of getting vaccination was <0.50 for all awareness levels and prediction accuracy was poor (area under the curve = 0.56–0.64).

CONCLUSIONS:

In this high-risk population, levels of awareness among parents and adolescents were not substantially related to subsequent adolescent HPV vaccination.

The key components of successful diabetes therapy are pharmacotherapy, hospital care and lifestyle education. Lifestyle education, self-management, and composing the right diet can be effectively supported with mobile applications. In this paper Hungarian mobile applications are reviewed and compared to some international competitors. Besides plenty of useful functions some deficiencies are identified, based on dietary recommendations. The related improvements together with clinical trials validating effectiveness and reliability can strengthen medical evidence as well as the penetration of such mobile applications. Orv.

Published: July 2016

Systemic lupus erythematosus is the most common connective tissue disease that is associated with pulmonary manifestations. Although lupus has the potential to affect any organ, lung involvement is observed during the course of the disease in most cases and it is prognostic for outcome. Pulmonary manifestations in lupus can be classified into five groups based on the anatomical involvement: pleura, lung parenchyma, bronchi and bronchioli, lung vasculature and respiratory muscles can be involved. The most common respiratory manifestations attributable to lupus are pleuritis with or without pleural effusion, pulmonary vascular disease, upper and lower airway dysfunction, parenchymal disease, and diaphragmatic dysfunction (shrinking lung syndrome). In this article the authors summarize lung involvement of lupus, its diagnosis, therapy and prognosis. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(29), 1154–1160.
El consumo de drogas en el debate de la salud pública
Authors: Tirado-Otálvaro Andrés Felipe
Published: July 2016

Resumen: Este texto sitúa el consumo de drogas ilegales en el debate actual entre la salud pública tradicional, frente a las propuestas latinoamericanas, y propone la necesidad de abordar el tema desde de una salud pública alternativa, centrada en la vida y el protagonismo de los sujetos, los grupos y los movimientos sociales, mediante una praxis contrahegemónica, para orientar así la discusión sobre la necesidad de generar políticas públicas incluyentes y democráticas. El consumo de drogas ha sido abordado desde la medicina clínica como un problema que genera trastornos mentales y enfermedades infecciosas, ya sea por las prácticas sexuales de riesgo, o el uso de jeringas para el consumo intravenoso; desde la política, como un problema relacionado con fenómenos delictivos; y desde la salud pública tradicional, como un problema que genera abandono escolar y laboral, aumento en la demanda de servicios de salud, muerte y violencia; sin embargo, no todas las formas de consumo representan un uso problemático, ni desencadenan trastornos por uso de sustancias.

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT Purpose: The goal of this study is to identify the relationship of absorbed, non-absorbed and potential slack with the innovation of companies of sectors members of the sectoral ranking of innovation in the Brazilian Index of Innovation (IBI) listed in BM&FBovespa. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: Organizational slack and innovation have been objects of study internationally, but still represent a research gap in Brazil. Also there were not identified studies using the intangible asset to measure innovation and the possible relations with the organizational slack measures. This theme can also support the strategic activities of organizations, such as contributing to the creation of competitive advantage. Key methodological aspects: Descriptive research with quantitative approach was carried out using financial data of 208 companies listed in BM&FBovespa classified as innovative according to the Index Brazil of Innovation. Information regarding intangible assets, used as metrics to measure the innovation, was collected from the Notes; and the data to calculate the measures of organizational slack were collected from Economática® database. Summary of key results: In the application of the panel data model, the results demonstrate a significant relationship between organizational slack and innovation. The potential and absorbed slacks impact significantly and positively the innovative process. Non-absorbed slack influences positively, but with relatively smaller impact compared to other measures. Key considerations/conclusions: It is concluded that the results indicate a relationship in greater degree of absorbed and potential slack and to a lesser degree of non-absorbed slack with the innovation of the companies surveyed.
BRAZILIAN JEITINHO AND CULTURE: AN ANALYSIS OF THE FILMS ELITE SQUAD 1 AND 2
Authors: MORAES ALINE FÁBIA GUERRA DE , GOMES DANILO CORTEZ , HELAL DIOGO HENRIQUE
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT Purpose: The present study tried to observe the representations of Brazilian jeitinho, typical of Brazilian culture, through the analyses of the movies Elite squad (Tropa de elite) and Elite squad: the enemy within (Tropa de elite: o inimigo agora é outro). Originality/gap/relevance/implications: The article corroborates the ongoing debate on the field and offers alternatives for the study of Business Administration, by using the film analysis as a technique. It is of utmost importance to evidence that analyses such as this one, contribute to Business Administration by, when well situated, aiding in the comprehension of themes and concepts, leading students and readers to obtain new reflections and new perspectives about the subjects in question. Key methodological aspects: The qualitative character is a methodological landmark of this work, which uses the technique of indirect observation to analyze the films. From the utilization of a reflexive methodology, we were supported by the categorization of the data analyzed, based on the "implications" of jeitinho, present in Massukado-Nakatani, Mussi and Pedroso (2009). For a better perspective of these implications, tables were constructed linking them to specific scenes in the films. Summary of key results: Jeitinho appears in the movies as a notable presence in the Brazilian culture, entering the realm of the organizations, which is the case of the Military Police, the organization presented in the analyses of the films. Key considerations/conclusions: Thus, it was possible to notice peculiarities of the Brazilian culture through the analysis of national productions, contributing, then, to the ongoing debate in the field, trying to offer alternatives to the study of Administration, especially in what concerns the absorption of the national culture in the organizations.

RESUMO: O Ensino Orientado para a Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas é uma metodologia de ensino centrada nos alunos que lhes permite aprender conhecimentos novos resolvendo problemas. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar os contributos desse tipo de ensino, organizado segundo uma abordagem transdisciplinar, com os do ensino tradicional no que concerne à aprendizagem de conhecimentos conceituais, com diferentes níveis de complexidade, no âmbito do tema "Transformação de Matéria e de Energia". Os resultados demonstram que os alunos da turma experimental obtiveram melhor desempenho (apresentaram respostas menos incompletas) do que os alunos da turma de controle nas questões que eram cognitivamente mais exigentes. Apesar de esse tipo de resultados ser esperado, são necessárias mais investigações que permitam testar a sua consistência.
