Pagrindinių audito dalykų pateikimas auditoriaus išvadoje: Lietuvos emitentų auditoriaus išvadų tyrimas
Authors: Vaicekauskas Darius
Published: September 2018

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

Article investigates the presentation of key audit matters in independent auditor’s reports. The first theory based part of the article presents the problem of limited usefulness of auditor’s report and ex plains how this problem was addressed in the system of International Standards of Auditing with the introduction of the requirement to include the paragraph of key audit matters in auditor’s report issued on listed company’s financial statements (or when it is mandatory under the local laws). Further the concept of key audit matters is explained. In the empirical part of the article the results of the research on key audit matters included in the auditor’s reports of Lithuanian listed companies are presented. The typology of key audit matters is disclosed, while analysing the number, the content and the significance of key audit matters included in the research sample of auditor’s report.

It can be concluded that key audit matters are those matters that, in the auditor’s professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period. Key audit matters are selected from matters communicated with those charged with governance. Audit firms of Lithuanian listed companies most often include one key audit matter in their auditor’s reports, while assessing the valuation of assets and revenue recognition as the areas of most significance during the course of the audit. The paragraph of key audit matters covers approximately one quarter of the content of the auditor’s report, indicating the informational significance of key audit matters and stressing a further need to improve their presentation.

Manajemen Komunikasi Entrepreneur Usaha Mikro Berbasis Pondok Pasantren
Authors: Andrian Bob
Published: September 2018

Pasantren sering kali di anggap sebagai lembaga pendidikan yang hanya bertugas untuk mendidik seseorang menjadi manusia yang berilmu. Namun akhir-akhir ini, paradigma umat muslim khusus sudah berkembang, mulai dari yang menganggap pesantren alah lembaga pendidikan klasik yang identik dengan pendidikan baca al-Qur’an, pendidikan fikih, pendidikan ceramah atau khutbah, dan lebih cenderung bersifat keakhiratan, namun sekarang paradigma tersebut mulai beralih menjadi paradigma yang lebih modern tidak hanya terfokus pada aspek keakhiratan saja melainkan aspek keduniaan juga. Sebagai contoh berbagai programa dikembangkan di pondok pasantren di Indonesia sekarang ini. Fakta ini dapat dibuktikan dengan mulai lahirnya pondok pasantren di Indonesia yang menjadikan enterpreneur sebagai program unggulan, seperti beberapa kasus di pondok pasantren Gontor yang terkenal di Jombang Jawa Timur. Sehingga lembaga pendidikan pondok pesantren tersebut dipandang mapan untuk menjadi lembaga yang melahirkan santri-santri berpendidikan yang siap untuk mandiri ketika selesai menempuh pendidikan di pondok pasantren. Sistem manajemen komunikasi yang baik merupakan salah satu faktor pendukung untuk menjadikan sebuah lembaga pendidikan berbasis keagamaan menjadi lembaga yang mampu berkembang dan maju melebihi lembaga-lembaga pendidikan lainnya. Demikian pula untuk lembaga pendidikan berbasis keagamaan lainnya yang ada di daerah-daerah seluruh Indonesia seperti Pondok Pasantren di Sambas, mengembangkan usaha-usaha mikro (usaha kecil) merupakan solusi alternatif untuk dikembangkan. Karena menurut hasil pengamatan para pakar ekonomi pada perkembangan ekonomi dunia segmen pasar untuk usaha mikro masih sangat memungkinkan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk membahas bagaimana proses manajemen komunikasi yang dilakukan di Pondok Pasantren Muhammad Basuini Imran. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan Filed Reasearch, melalui pendekatan studi kasus, yang diperoleh dari hasil wawancara dan observasi. Dari penelitian yang dilakukan disimpulkan bahwa teori manajemen yang digunakan adalah teori fungsi manajemen menurut Robbins, yaitu perencanaan, pengorganisasian, pengarahan dan pengontrolan. Adapun kegiatan usaha yang dilakukan terdiri dari pengelolaan sumber daya manusia, pengelolaan keuangan, pengelolaan produksi, dan pemasaran.
Kontestasi Retorika Islam Nusantara
Authors: Safitri Dini
Published: September 2018

This study aims to describe the contestation of Islamic Nusantara rhetoric in Social Media between two Islamic organizations in Indonesia. The first mass organization was NU as the creator of Islam Nusantara idea and HTI as the repudiation of Islam Nusantara idea. To obtain the description, the researchers used the theory of Gramsi to analyze the text contained in the official web of NU and HTI on Islam Nusantara. The results show that there is contestation between NU and HTI in producing Islamic Nusantara rhetoric in New Media. NU as the largest Islamic organization in Indonesia feels the need to develop the Islamic Nusantara model as a distinctive feature of Islam in Indonesia against the hegemony of radical Islamic values entering Indonesia. The intellectual elite of NU is also widely revealed in its text on the official web of NU, that radical Islamic values are also carried by other Islamic organizations such as HTI which is the international Islamic organization of the Middle East. Meanwhile, HTI elites also produce texts to reject Islam Nusantara because Islam is only one, and invites the Islamic community of Indonesia not to be divided.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengambarkan kontestasi retorika Islam Nusantara di Media Sosial antara dua ormas Islam di Indonesia. Ormas pertama adalah NU sebagai pengusung gagasan Islam Nusantara dan HTI sebagai penolak gagasan Islam Nusantara. Untuk memperoleh gambaran tersebut, peneliti memakai teori dari Gramsi untuk menganalisa teks yang dimuat dalam web resmi NU dan HTI mengenai Islam Nusantara. Hasil penelitian menunjukan terdapat kontestasi antara NU dan HTI dalam memproduksi retorika Islam Nusantara di Media Baru. NU sebagai ormas Islam terbesar di Indonesia merasa perlu melakukan pengembangan model Islam Nusantara sebagai ciri khas dari Islam di Indonesia untuk melawan hegemoni dari nilai-nilai Islam radikal yang tengah memasuki Indonesia. Elit intelektual NU juga banyak mengungkapkan dalam teksnya di web resmi NU, bahwa nilai-nilai Islam radikal tersebut juga dibawa oleh ormas islam lain seperti HTI yang merupakan organisasi islam internasional dari Timur Tengah. Sementara itu, elit HTI juga memproduksi teks untuk menolak Islam Nusantara dikarenakan Islam itu hanya satu, dan mengajak masyarakat Islam Indonesia untuk tidak terpecah-belah

Life-Writing From Medicine: Biographies and Memoirs of Physicians
Authors: Mostwin Jacek
Published: September 2018

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Life-writing is an increasingly recognized genre including, among other forms of expression, biography, memoir, journals, diaries and letters. In addition to providing a source of information about potentially significant historical and social dimensions of medicine, the life-writing of physicians also offers the public a greater sense of the writers' inner lives and provides a resource of wisdom and companionship to other physicians and health care professionals across time and various stages of personal and professional development. This kind of life-writing, when considered alongside patient accounts, can further contribute to what Anne Hunsaker Hawkins has called "a medicine that is truly human".
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO CLIMB THE LADDER? (A SIDEWAYS APPROACH)
Authors: Engelmann Mauro Luiz
Published: September 2018

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to show that "traditional" and "resolute" interpretations have not freed the "Tractatus" from the apparent paradoxical self-defeat. I argue that these readings only give it new clothing. Hacker's "traditional" reading ends up ascribing a metaphysical conspiracy to the "Tractatus", which is incompatible with the aims of the book. The "resolute" reading of Diamond and Conant ascribes an authorial conspiracy to Wittgenstein, which contradicts his views on authorship and method. Grounded in the difficulties found in both sides of the current debate, I conclude this paper by proposing several requirements that the correct interpretation of the "Tractatus" should fulfill.
Disparidade racial na sobrevivência em 10 anos para o câncer de mama: uma análise de mediação usando abordagem de respostas potenciais
Authors: Nogueira Mário Círio , Guerra Maximiliano Ribeiro , Cintra Jane Rocha Duarte , Corrêa Camila Soares Lima , Fayer Vívian Assis , Bustamante-Teixeira Maria Teresa
Published: September 2018

Os objetivos foram investigar a associação entre raça/cor e a sobrevivência em 10 anos de mulheres com câncer de mama e o papel do estadiamento como mediador. Coorte hospitalar com 481 mulheres com câncer invasivo de mama, diagnosticadas entre 2003 e 2005. Foram feitas comparações entre mulheres brancas e negras quanto às características sociodemográficas e ao estadiamento, usando o teste qui-quadrado, e à sobrevivência em 10 anos, usando os métodos de Kaplan-Meier e regressão de Cox. Foram estimados para a variável raça/cor efeitos diretos e indiretos, mediados pelo estadiamento, com ajuste para a condição social da área de residência e idade, utilizando o modelo de respostas potenciais (contrafactual) e regressão múltipla de Cox. As mulheres negras residiam em setores censitários de menor renda, eram usuárias do setor público em maior proporção e foram diagnosticadas com estadiamentos mais avançados. A sobrevivência específica em 10 anos foi de 64,3% (IC95%: 60,0; 68,9), com diferença significativa entre brancas (69,5%; IC95%: 64,8; 74,6) e negras (44%; IC95%: 35,2; 55,1). Nos modelos múltiplos, ajustados para renda e idade, as negras tiveram pior prognóstico (HR = 2,09; IC95%: 1,76; 2,51), e a proporção mediada pelo estadiamento foi de 40% (IC95%: 37; 42). Há disparidade racial na sobrevivência do câncer de mama em 10 anos, mediada principalmente pelo estadiamento mais avançado da doença nas mulheres negras. Isso aponta para a necessidade de ampliar a cobertura e a qualidade do programa de rastreamento dessa doença e facilitar o acesso ao diagnóstico e tratamento precoces, com vistas à redução da iniquidade racial.
Property Rights Implications for the Brazilian Forest Code
Authors: Mueller Bernardo
Published: September 2018

Abstract: The Brazilian Forest Code restricts landowners’ uses of the land. Changes in property rights are therefore the core element of the program. In this paper the new institutional literature on property rights is used to analyze the main difficulties involved in such a re-specification of rights. Four concepts from this literature are described and applied to better understand the issues that have hindered the program in the past and that affect the current version of the program initiated in 2012: (i) property rights as a ‘bundle of rights’, (ii) evolution of property rights, (iii) path dependence; and Ostrom’s 8 design principles. The paper argues that the key issue for the Forest Code is the level of uncertainty of the gap between the de jure and de facto specification of property rights.
ENTRE A OBRIGAÇÃO E O PRAZER DE CRIAR: UMA ANÁLISE PSICODINÂMICA DO PRAZER-SOFRIMENTO NO TRABALHO ARTÍSTICO
Authors: Nascimento Monique , Dellagnelo Eloise Helena Livramento
Published: September 2018

RESUMO Nos debates atuais, o artista tem sido considerado como um possível trabalhador do futuro, um sujeito intrinsecamente motivado. Entretanto, observamos que tal perspectiva de análise concebe a arte e a atividade artística de maneira romantizada, e que tende a mascarar condições reais de tal atividade de trabalho. Diante do exposto, desenvolvemos um estudo com o intuito de compreender e analisar as possíveis relações existentes entre o contexto de trabalho artístico na região da grande Florianópolis/SC, e vivências de prazer-sofrimento dos trabalhadores nele inseridos, tendo em vista o processo de mercantilização da cultura. Para tanto, utilizamos como arcabouço teórico a Psicodinâmica do Trabalho. Participaram desta pesquisa, ocorrida entre os meses de setembro a dezembro de 2016, quatro artistas atuantes na região da grande Florianópolis. Após a delimitação dos participantes, realizamos com cada sujeito, três entrevistas semiestruturadas individuais em profundidade e observações de suas rotinas de trabalho. As entrevistas foram gravadas, transcritas e submetidas à análise de conteúdo categorial temática, proposta por Bardin (2016). Concluímos que o contexto de trabalho artístico pode possibilitar tanto a vivência de prazer quanto de sofrimento ao artista. Todavia, observamos uma possibilidade de intensificação do sofrimento no trabalho, influenciada pela maior aproximação dos artistas à lógica mercadológica.
INTERPRETANDO AS RELAÇÕES DE PODER NO PÓS-AUDITORIA DO SUS À LUZ DOS CONCEITOS DA ANÁLISE ESTRATÉGIA DE CROZIER E FRIEDBERG

Published: September 2018

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar o estudo realizado sobre a estrutura dos jogos de poder que envolvem o processo do pós-auditoria do SUS e, para isso, se propôs a identificar os desdobramentos das auditorias assistenciais realizadas pelo Componente Municipal de Auditoria do SUS de Recife, em 2015. A análise da estrutura hierárquica, as regularidades de comportamento e as racionalidades que regem os comportamentos dos principais atores envolvidos, apoiam-se nos conceitos de análise estratégica de Crozier e Friedberg (1990). Desenvolvido a partir da abordagem qualitativa, utiliza-se de entrevistas, que foram submetidas à técnica da Análise de Discurso. Pode-se identificar que a execução das recomendações da auditoria tem relação direta com as zonas de autonomia e incerteza dos gestores das unidades de saúde, sendo a auditoria efetiva quando o gerente da unidade possui liberdade de atuação na área em que foi feita a recomendação.

Authors: Neves Teresa , Graveto João , Rodrigues Victor , Marôco João , Parreira Pedro
Published: September 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the psychometric qualities of the Portuguese version of the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire for the nursing context, through confirmatory analysis and invariance, aiming to evaluate the reliability, internal consistency, construct validity and external validity of the instrument. Method: confirmatory factor analysis of the Portuguese version of the questionnaire was carried out with a sample of 850 nurses, in hospital context. The analysis was complemented using specification search. Goodness of fit was evaluated through different indices. Reliability, internal consistency and construct validity were estimated. The invariance of the model was evaluated in two subsamples of the same sample, in order to confirm the external validity of the factorial solution. Results: the refined model demonstrated good overall fit (χ2/df=6.37; CFI=0.91; GFI=0.92; RMSEA=0.08; MECVI=0.62). The factorial structure was stable (λ:Δχ2(14)=18.31; p=0;193; Intercepts: Δχ2(14)=22.29; p=0.073; Covariance: Δχ2(3)=6.01; p=0.111; Residuals: Δχ2(15)=22.44; p=0.097). Conclusion: the simplified model of the questionnaire demonstrated adequate goodness of fit, representing a stable factorial solution. The instrument was fit to monitor and evaluate the organizational commitment of Portuguese nurses.
O “direito” de falar em pleitos: o gênero nos códigos jurídicos afonsinos
Authors: Lima Marcelo Pereira
Published: September 2018

Resumo: Este artigo não é uma tentativa de estudar a vocalidade ou a oralidade em textos escritos e jurídicos assumidos por figuras femininas. Embora isso seja importante, dentro dos limites metodológicos do que sugerem as documentações que analiso, o que tenho em mente é saber se, como e por que as diretrizes de gênero atuaram de maneiras transversais nos discursos produzidos pela legislação do governo de Afonso X (1252-1284), sobretudo no que toca a determinadas atividades, práticas ou ofícios jurídicos que estão direta ou indiretamente associados à credibilidade do falar ou do uso das palavras. A proposta aqui é testar as possibilidades da proposição de uma História Institucional de Gênero, combinando o campo da História Cultural do Direito Medieval e os Estudos de Gênero. Discutimos as interseccionalidades ou transversalidades constituídas entre relações de poder e processos de significação, isto é, a “d(en)ominação”.
Cuerpos y espacio en un mito de origen alternativo
Authors: Der-Ohannesian Nadia
Published: September 2018

Resumen: En el presente trabajo pretendo abordar la novela de Doris Lessing, The Cleft (2007), desde conceptualizaciones del cuerpo y el espacio que enfatizan sus cualidades de inestables y en constante devenir debido a la naturaleza social tanto de uno como del otro. En The Cleft se revisa el mito de origen de la humanidad a través de la interpretación que realiza un senador de la antigua Roma de manuscritos que datan de tiempos remotos. En esta fundación alternativa de la humanidad, las mujeres se reproducen asexualmente y dan luz a mujeres. Pretendo interrogar al texto de Lessing sobre cómo se construyen los cuerpos de varón y de mujer a medida que avanza el relato, a través del tiempo, qué organizaciones e imaginarios espaciales determinan la constitución de unos y otros cuerpos, cómo ilumina el acercamiento a las problemáticas del texto un enfoque espacial, cuál es efecto de y en última instancia cuál es la crítica subyacente en revisitar el mito de origen de la humanidad, una humanidad inaugurada por mujeres según el texto objeto de análisis.
Memorias de las militancias femeninas antes del Golpe de Estado (Valparaíso)
Authors: Contreras María Angélica Cruz
Published: September 2018

Resumen: Este trabajo aborda las articulaciones entre género y memorias sociales de la dictadura cívico-militar chilena focalizadas en las trayectorias políticas de mujeres militantes de izquierda. Partimos problematizando las relaciones entre género y memoria, seguido del análisis sobre el inicio de la participación política de las mujeres. Metodológicamente nos basamos en relatos de vida de mujeres que fueron jóvenes militantes durante la Unidad Popular, tras el Golpe de Estado experimentaron la represión política, se involucraron en la resistencia contra la dictadura, y en el presente permanecen activas políticamente. El análisis problematiza cómo el género se reproduce y se desafía al hacer memoria sobre el pasado reciente. A partir de ello concluimos sobre la pertinencia de partir del punto de vista de las mujeres, que reclaman las epistemologías feministas, al articular memoria y género.
Customization of a software of finite elements to analysis of concrete structures: long-term effects
Authors: QUEVEDO F. P. M. , SCHMITZ R. J. , MORSCH I. B. , CAMPOS FILHO A. , BERNAUD D.
Published: September 2018

Abstract Concrete is a material that presents time-delayed effects associated with creep and shrinkage phenomena. The numerical modeling of the creep is not trivial because it depends on the age of the concrete at the time of loading, which makes necessary to store the history of loads to apply the principle of superposition. However, a problem formulated in finite elements has many points of integration, making this storage impossible. The Theory of Solidification, together with incremental algorithm developed by Bazant e Prasannan ([1], [2]), solves this problem. Therefore, this paper presents the adaptation of this algorithm to a finite element commercial software (ANSYS) considering the creep, according to the CEB-FIP Model Code 1990 [3]. The results demonstrate that the deformations provided by this adaptation are in accordance with the analytical solution given by the CEB-FIP MC90, including cases where the loads are applied at different ages of the concrete.
Numerical analysis of the effect of partial interaction in the evaluation of the effective width of composite beams
Authors: SILVA A. R. , DIAS L. E. S.
Published: September 2018

Abstract Most of the engineering problems involving structural elements of steel-concrete composite beam type are approximations of the structural problem involving concrete plates connected by connectors to steel beams. Technical standards allow the replacement of the concrete plate element by a beam element by adopting a reduction in the width of the plate element known as effective width. The effective width is obtained, in most technical norms, taking into account only the parameters of beam span length and distance between adjacent beams. Numerical and experimental works found in the literature show that this effective width depends on several other parameters, such as the width and thickness of the concrete slab, and the type of loading. The objective of this work is to verify the influence of the partial interaction in the evaluation of the effective width of composite beams formed by a concrete slab connected to a steel beam with deformable connection, being used in numerical simulation three types of finite elements: a plate element for nonlinear analysis of the concrete slab; a bar element for non-linear analysis of beams with cross-section defined by a polygon; and an interface element which connects the plate and beam elements, simulating the deformation effect of the shear connectors. In the studied examples, it was found that the reduction of the shear connection stiffness at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel beam leads to a decrease in the shear lag effect and, consequently, makes the effective width of the concrete slab closer to the its real width. In another example, curves are constructed to define the effective width of a composite beam with medium stiffness. Considering maximum stresses and maximum displacements, these curves are obtained by forcing the equivalence of the approximate model with the model closest to the real problem.

Published: September 2018

Abstract With the aim to identify the parasite fauna of plumbeous rail, Pardirallus sanguinolentus (Aves: Rallidae) in Chile, 26 carcasses were parasitologically necropsied. The present study revealed the presence of 14 species of parasites (inverse Simpson index = 4.64; evenness = 0.332), including ectoparasites: feather mites: Analloptes megnini , Grallobia sp., Grallolichus sp., Megniniella sp., and Metanalges sp.; the feather lice Pseudomenopon meinertzhageni, Rallicola andinus, and Fulicoffula sp.; and six species of gastrointestinal helminths: Heterakis psophiae, Porrocaecum ardeae, Tetrameres sp., Capillaria sp., Diorchis sp., and Plagiorhynchus sp. The relatively high parasite richness that was found could be attributed to the highly favorable conditions of wetlands for parasite development. All parasites found, except feather lice, are new records for plumbeous rail. A checklist of parasites for plumbeous rail is presented.
Human-Specific Abnormal Alternative Splicing of Wild-Type PKD1 Induces Premature Termination of Polycystin-1
Authors: Lea Wendy A. , Parnell Stephen C. , Wallace Darren P. , Calvet James P. , Zelenchuk Lesya V. , Alvarez Nehemiah S. , Ward Christopher J.
Published: September 2018

Background

The major form of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is caused by heterozygous mutations in PKD1, the gene that encodes polycystin-1 (PC1). Unlike PKD1 genes in the mouse and most other mammals, human PKD1 is unusual in that it contains two long polypyrimidine tracts in introns 21 and 22 (2.5 kbp and 602 bp, respectively; 97% cytosine and thymine). Although these polypyrimidine tracts have been shown to form thermodynamically stable segments of triplex DNA that can cause DNA polymerase stalling and enhance the local mutation rate, the efficiency of transcription and splicing across these cytosine- and thymine-rich introns has been unexplored.

Methods

We used RT-PCR and Western blotting (using an mAb to the N terminus) to probe splicing events over exons 20–24 in the mouse and human PKD1 genes as well as Nanopore sequencing to confirm the presence of multiple splice forms.

Results

Analysis of PC1 indicates that humans, but not mice, have a smaller than expected protein product, which we call Trunc_PC1. The findings show that Trunc_PC1 is the protein product of abnormal differential splicing across introns 21 and 22 and that 28.8%–61.5% of PKD1 transcripts terminate early.

Conclusions

The presence of polypyrimidine tracts decreases levels of full-length PKD1 mRNA from normal alleles. In heterozygous individuals, low levels of full-length PC1 may reduce polycystin signaling below a critical “cystogenic” threshold.
The Producer-Consumer Collusion Attack in Content-Centric Networks
Authors: Nasserala Pires André Luiz , Monteiro Moraes Igor
Published: September 2018

This paper evaluates a denial-of-service attack in
information-centric networks based on the Content Centric
Networking (CCN) architecture. This attack aims at increasing the
content retrieval time. In this attack, both malicious consumers
and producers collude, by generating, publishing, and changing
content popularity. Malicious contents are stored by intermediate
nodes and occupy the cache space that should be occupied by
legitimate content. Thus, the probability of a legitimate consumer
retrieves content directly from the producer increases as well as
the content retrieval time. We evaluate the impact of the attack by
varying the number of consumers and producers in collusion, the
interest packets rate, and the way malicious contents are
requested. Results show if 20% of consumers are malicious and
send 500 interests/s each, the content retrieval time experienced by
legitimate users increases by 20 times, which shows the
effectiveness of the attack.
Nihilismo existencial organizacional frente a las utopías ambientales (negación al valor del visionar)
Authors: Quintero Bocanegra Luis Eduardo
Published: September 2018

This paper encourages reflection on organizational nihilism in relation to environmental management systems, which is part of a perception of the reality resulting from a loss of hope and acceptance of the ignorance of reality. This limits future plans and people’s motivation. But, the human being cannot live without motivation, resulting in people putting their own self-interest ahead of the existing reality. It allows individual’s priorities to stay in the present, ending up with hedonism and profitability in the commercial field.

HUMAN EVOLUTION OF SUSTAINABLE BEHAVIOUR: A THEORETICAL EXPLANATION OF INDIVIDUAL DIVERSITIES
Authors: Rastogi 1 Himanshi
Published: September 2018

Behaviour plays an important role in advancement of sustainable development. It is a classical social dilemma of what is common good in long run is not necessarily the best for individual utility maximization. Reassuringly, individuals are increasingly concerned with sustainability and are highly aware of environmental impact of their own behaviours. But there lies a discrepancy in actual behaviours and the intended concern for environment. The discrepancy has attracted researches from diverse scientific disciplines. The paper explores the importance of individual over group by traversing through theoretical paradoxes.
The psychology behind boycotting McDonalds: genuine or pretentious?
Authors: Idrus Mohd
Published: September 2018

This week, more than half of the Malay communities throng social media spaces to voice 'jihad' efforts, calling into condemnation towards the largest commercial fast food company, McDonalds, in their outrage against the cruelty of the Israelis. It has caused a major uproar so much so that the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Khairy Jamaluddin has operationalized such hostility towards Israelis as "Gaza solidarity," inculcating the spirit of brotherhood among Muslims.
Types of social support associated with depression in the UK adult population
Authors: Soo 1 Joy , Yin 1* TAN Soo , Keming 2 YANG
Published: September 2018

Many well-established sociological studies pertaining to the salubrious link between social relations and mental health have been published. In particular, numerous researchers address the issue of how social isolation and lack of family support and social ties can adversely affect one’s mental well-being. In this paper, we seek to identify and explore the relationships between people who were clinically diagnosed with depression and the aspects of their social environment, namely their social and family circumstances in the UK adult population. One hundred and ten blogs mentioning depression as their main condition were selected from a mental health support website, Time-to-Change, for analysis. As not many studies have analysed such narratives, we expected the analysis to provide a fresher and deeper understanding of the experiences of those afflicted with depression. We observed that there is a consistent discourse emphasising the importance of social support from close loved ones, in particular friends and family members. There is evidence that social circumstances can be mediating factors in depression.

Published: September 2018

Apesar da gravidade e da clara natureza internacional do problema, não existe, até este momento, nenhum acordo global ou regional que trate especificamente do combate aos efeitos deletérios da emissão de ruídos antropogênicos nos oceanos. O objetivo deste artigo é investigar em que medida essas emissões podem configurar poluição marinha, nos termos da Convenção das Nações Unidas sobre Direito do Mar (CNUDM), e que repercussões práticas isso acarreta, do ponto de vista do regime jurídico aplicável a essas atividades. Desenvolve-se, para tanto, pesquisa aplicada, de natureza teórica e finalidade descritiva e explicativa, com abordagem qualitativa e raciocínio dedutivo e sistêmico, mediante análise de fontes documentais e bibliográficas. Conclui-se que a poluição sonora preenche todos os requisitos da definição de poluição marinha da CNUDM, pelo que as disposições desse tratado acerca da poluição marinha e da proteção do meio ambiente marinho são plenamente aplicáveis à emissão antropogênica de ruídos nos oceanos. Verifica-se, ademais, que existem diversos outros instrumentos jurídicos internacionais aplicáveis à poluição sonora marinha, pelo que a hipótese de um vazio normativo sobre o tema resta afastada, havendo, assim, de se pensar em outras causas do recrudescimento dessa espécie de poluição, a fim de que ela possa ser eficientemente combatida.
MOVIMENTOS SOCIAIS FRENTE ÀS GRANDES MINERADORAS NO BRASIL

Published: September 2018

A partir de uma pesquisa de dados primários, este trabalho se propôs a levantar e a analisar algumas estratégias e constaestratégias de movimentos sociais que fazem frente à atividade de extração de minérios no Brasil, com o objetivo de verificar como se formam e se desenrolam os conflitos decorrentes dos impactos socioambientais e violações de direitos humanos causados pelas grandes mineradoras no país. Para tanto, primeiro se situou o problema a partir da compreensão do modo como se põem em prática essa atividade, para que, em seguida, a atenção se dirigisse ao que está em disputa entre os diferentes agentes que compõe esse campo de tensão, para que, ao final, fosse possível compreender algumas estratégias e contraestratégias desses movimentos sociais, principalmente aquelas relacionadas ao novo marco regulatório da mineração, então elaborado pelo Governo Dilma, e às medidas provisórias do setor recentemente editadas pelo Governo Temer. Com isso, chegou-se a conclusão de que as frentes de resistência, mobilização popular e articulação política se prestam a desconstruir as “verdades” difundidas pelas grandes mineradoras, mostrando o quanto elas violam direitos humanos, principalmente daqueles que se encontram numa condição histórica e econômica de vulnerabilização.

Published: September 2018

O objeto do trabalho é a análise dos limites dos efeitos materiais e processuais do princípio da precaução, analisando-o diretamente nas decisões judiciais brasileiras. Desta forma, foram coletados os acórdãos disponíveis dos bancos de dados informatizados de vários Tribunais brasileiros, que em seu sistema, apresentaram uma resposta positiva ao termo “princípio da precaução”. Chegou-se a um número final de 182 acórdãos, que foram organizados por grandes temas. Foi então possível analisar a influência do princípio nas autorizações administrativas das decisões potencialmente poluidoras, na justificativa para a inversão do ônus da prova, chegando-se a conclusão final de que o mesmo é implementado de forma inapropriada nas decisões judiciais. O motivo é devido às suas bases conceituais imprecisas, bem como dada a ausência de critérios para a aplicação do princípio em um caso concreto. Ao final, foram sintetizados os critérios que poderiam ser aplicados pelas autoridades administrativas e pelos juízes na interpretação do princípio.
What Women Think Should Be Done to Stop Intimate Partner Violence in Ghana
Authors: Issahaku Paul Alhassan
Published: September 2018

This aricle expands scholarship on intimate partner violence in Ghana by discussing what should be done to stop it, using data from the Northern region. The data came from 53 survey participants who provided useful responses to an open question: “what should we do to stop intimate partner violence”? The 53 respondents were part of 443 women non-randomly sampled at public health centers across the region to participate in a survey on intimate partner violence. Although the survey used a questionnaire, responses to the open question constituted qualitative data for this article. All 53 written responses were typed out verbatim into a Microsoft word document to generate a transcript for analysis. Responses entered in the transcript were numbered to distinguish one from another. Each numbered unit of text represented the complete response of a participant. Data were content-analyzed and reduced to five meaning categories for interpretation and conclusion-drawing. These are: provide behavior change support to couples; institute and enforce legal sanctions against perpetrators; empower women; provide public education for social change; and pray and preach against violence. Discussion of the findings is situated within discourse analysis and the article concludes with a note on implications for policy and practice.
Help-Seeking Among Abused Women With Pets: Evidence From a Canadian Sample
Authors: Barrett Betty Jo , Fitzgerald Amy , Peirone Amy , Stevenson Rochelle , Cheung Chi Ho
Published: September 2018

A growing body of research has highlighted the significant co-occurrence of violence against women and companion animals in abusive households. Collectively, this work has also documented that sizable proportions of women with pets sampled report that they delayed leaving their partner due to fear for their pets’ safety. Using data from 86 residents of 16 battered women’s shelters in Canada, this study begins to tease apart the relationship between five types of animal maltreatment (emotional abuse, threats to harm, neglect, physical abuse, and severe physical abuse) and women’s deliberations to leave violent relationships. The findings indicate that while the specific types of animal maltreatment are significant motivators for leaving an abusive partner, the length of the relationship and the physical abuse experienced by the woman better explain the degree to which concern for the well-being of the pet kept them from leaving their abuser earlier.
Impacts of the Brazilian innovation tax policy on the composition of private investments and on the type of innovation
Authors: Colombo Daniel Gama e , Cruz Helio Nogueira da
Published: September 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é investigar se os incentivos fiscais para inovação da Lei 11.196/05 (BRASIL, 2005) alteraram a composição dos investimentos em inovação das empresas e seus resultados. Tomando por base o conceito de adicionalidade comportamental e o desenho da política fiscal, são apresentadas três proposições sobre como esses incentivos afetam a cesta de gastos com inovação, o nível educacional dos pesquisadores e o tipo de inovação desenvolvido pelas firmas. A partir de dados desagregados da Pesquisa de Inovação (PINTEC) de 2008 e 2011 e de outras fontes, o efeito médio do tratamento nas unidades tratadas (ATT) é estimado utilizando-se um pareamento por escore de propensão (PSM) com diferença-em-diferenças. As principais conclusões do estudo são: os incentivos impactaram positivamente a intensidade de pesquisa e desenvolvimento (P&D) dos investimentos em inovação das firmas, elevando os gastos com P&D em cerca de R$ 1,1 milhão na média, assim como reduzindo os gastos médios com aquisição de outros conhecimentos externos e com introdução de inovações no mercado; embora a política tenha fomentado a contratação adicional de pesquisadores com diploma de graduação, não foi encontrado impacto significativo para pessoal de pesquisa com titulação de mestrado ou doutorado; e não há evidência de impacto no balanço entre inovações de produto e processo.
A mudança das categorias de espaço e tempo nas sociedades complexas e suas implicações no processo formativo na educação superior
Authors: Trevisol Marcio Giusti , Fávero Altair Alberto
Published: September 2018

O presente artigo pretende discutir como as mudanças das categorias de espaço e tempo nas sociedades complexas tem influenciado nos processos formativos na educação superior. A sociedade moderna, sobretudo, nas últimas décadas se caracterizou por intensas e rápidas mudanças no campo da tecnologia que originaram e transformaram as instituições sociais, a vida e a subjetividade. As mudanças das categorias do tempo e espaço são uma das marcas das sociedades complexas, as quais favorecem a consolidação de um modelo produtivo e uma organização social que primam pela rapidez, produtividade, eficiência e flexibilidade. Neste contexto, quais as influências e implicações deste processo para a Educação Superior? Esta questão é norteadora da pesquisa que possui como objetivo compreender como as mudanças do espaço e do tempo nas sociedades complexas tem motivado a estruturação de novas propostas de organização do processo educativo superior. Metodologicamente trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória de cunho teórico-bibliográfico que conversa com os autores Giddens, Sennett, Ricardo Antunes e Martha Nussbaum. Estes pesquisadores discutem a problemática contemporânea no âmbito da caraterização sócio históricos das sociedades complexas a partir de suas instituições (socialização indivíduo/sociedade) e da morfologia do trabalho. Assim, a mudança das categorias espaço e tempo nas sociedades complexas vêm influenciando na organização da educação superior ao introduzir uma lógica produtivista - mercadológica da flexibilização e da redução do tempo formativo. Neste panorama, a universidade é convidada a pensar e definir não somente o seu papel, mas sua missão frente ao discurso homogeneizador do mercado neoliberal.
