Framing Metagovernance in the Context of Developing Democracies: An Institutionalist Viewpoint
Authors: Rasheed Athaulla A
Published: July 2020

Metagovernance has traditionally been evolving as an effective mode of governance in developed democracies for states or governments to legitimately steer and coordinate stakeholder governance across jurisdictions. This article extend this work to understand the application of metagovernance in the context of developing democracies. Using an institutionalist viewpoint, the article explores the conceptual and empirical bases of metagovernance, drawing from the political science and political economy literature on developing economies to explain how political institutions can shape the state capacity to metagovern socio-economic activities in developing democracies. This article finds that the state capacity to metagovern can be challenged by weak democratic political practices.

Published: July 2020

The research objectives are to discuss the implementation of gender mainstreaming policies in the implementation of the duties and functions of the DPR and to compile a new concept from the results of the discussion on the implementation of gender mainstreaming policies in the implementation of the tasks and functions of the Indonesian Parliament. The implementation of gender mainstreaming policies in the implementation of the duties and functions of the DPR is not yet optimal to support the realization of gender equality and justice in the life of society, nation, and state, especially to improve the position, role, and quality of women. With the Grindle public policy implementation model it can be revealed the performance of gender mainstreaming policies according to the parameters of interests affected; type of benefits; the extent of change envisioned; site of decision making; implementor program; committed resource; power, interests, and strategies of actors involved; institution and regime characteristic; compliance and responsiveness. The new concept structured on the Strategy for Implementing Gender Mainstreaming Policies in National Development with the definition: Strategy for Implementing Gender Mainstreaming Policies in National Development is a structured strategy, tips and ways in implementing policies, programs, and activities to increase the position, role, and quality of women to realize equality and gender justice consisting of formal legality strategies, structural synergy strategies, cultural adaptation strategies, and individual strengthening strategies.
Interrogating the Impact of Voluntary Asset and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDS) on Tax Administration in Nigeria
Authors: Nnamdi Olise, Charles , Eke Emeh, Ikechukwu
Published: July 2020

This paper examined the impact of the Federal government of Nigeria’s tax amnesty programme tagged “Voluntary Asset and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDS) on tax administration in Nigeria.  This task is premised on the global reality of governments facing challenges funding developmental projects and other government paraphernalia due to paucity of funds as a result of tax evasions and tax avoidances. In most developing countries such as Nigeria, this tax evasions and avoidances have serious repercussion on the economic growth and development strides of the nation. To avert this menace, the federal government of Nigeria in line with some other countries of the world, created a tax amnesty window called Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Schemes (VAIDS) to beat tax defaulters at their game and boost revenue generation towards generating the needed funds for developmental projects. For the purpose of this examination, data were generated through the secondary sources of data collection and analyzed with the content analysis. From the analysis, the paper found among others that VAIDS has impacted positively on revenue generation by expanding taxpayer’s data base and also enhanced the identification of tax defaulters. However, poor adoption of information and communication technology (ICT) and the inadequate publicity among others are the constraining factors to VAIDS achievement of its US$1bn target. Based on the findings, the paper recommends among others, proper institutionalization of ICT in data management for tax registration, assessment and collection processes and enforcing the penalties associated with not complying with VAIDS mercy window.
Lenten Preaching in Thirteenth-Century England: The Case of a Franciscan Sermon Handbook
Authors: Campbell William H.
Published: July 2020

Late medieval English mysticism and devotion was shaped by the preaching of the friars. This article studies the Lenten cycle of sermons in an English Franciscan preacher's handbook from the late thirteenth century, demonstrating that the preacher paid much less attention to confession or the sacraments in general than might have been expected, preferring the more subtle and interior aspects of Christian life. This both presumed and created a lay audience able to profit from more advanced spiritual teaching.
Processing ambiguities in attachment and pronominal reference
Authors: Grant Margaret , Sloggett Shayne , Dillon Brian
Published: July 2020

The nature of ambiguity resolution has important implications for models of sentence processing in general. Studies of structural ambiguities, such as modifier attachment ambiguities, have generally supported a model in which a single analysis of ambiguous material is adopted without a cost to processing. Concurrently, a separate literature has observed a processing penalty for ambiguities in pronominal reference, suggesting that potential referents compete for selection during the processing of ambiguous pronouns. We argue that the apparent distinction between the ambiguity resolution mechanisms in attachment and pronominal reference ambiguities warrants further study. We present evidence from two experiments measuring eye movements during reading, showing that the separation held in the literature between these two ambiguity types is, at least, not uniformly supported.

Authors: Gevaerd Bernal Paola , Ordenavia Maria Noelia
Published: July 2020

En el presente trabajo analizamos un caso particular a nivel nacional y sub-nacional (profundizando la provincia del Chaco), desde la perspectiva teórica del desarrollo sustentable. Es el caso del aprovechamiento de los recursos naturales, la interacción bosque/actividad agropecuaria, la regulación e implementación del paquete de políticas públicas a un sector de la economía en particular: el sector forestal de la provincia y su interacción con los bosques nativos. El objetivo del presente trabajo es observar el impacto de la implementación de la Ley 1762-R (antes 6409) (OTBN) donde el aprovechamiento de los recursos naturales se realiza de manera tal que posibilite la satisfacción de las necesidades del presente sin comprometer a las generaciones futuras . El caso de la implementacion de la Ley significó un antes y un después en la regulación de la actividad forestal, forestoindustrial, su inter-relación con la expansión de la frontera agropecuaria y con la ciudadanía en general. No obstante, se encuentra inmerso en una estrategia de desarrollo nacional que no permite superar los mecanismos de transferencia de valor hacia países centrales bajo la lógica extractiva como mecanismo de compensación de productividad.
Taxonomic Revision of the Neotropical Genus Werneria (Compositae, Senecioneae)
Authors: Calvo Joel , Moreira-Muñoz Andrés , Funk Vicki A.
Published: July 2020

Werneria is a neotropical genus belonging to the tribe Senecioneae (Compositae) that is mainly distributed through the highlands of the Andes. Only a single species, W. nubigena, has a trans-Andean distribution and reaches the Tacaná Volcano in southern Chiapas (Mexico). The traditional concept of Werneria was significantly narrowed at the end of the twentieth century after segregating several species and accommodating these mostly in the genus Xenophyllum. As currently circumscribed, it includes rosettiform or scapiform species characterized by usually displaying involucral bracts that are fused at the base, supplementary bracts commonly absent, usually radiate but sometimes discoid or disciform capitula, white or yellow ray corollas (when present), a balusterform filament collar, and style branches that are truncate and have a crown of sweeping hairs. The first modern, comprehensive revision of this genus recognizing 27 species is presented here. Werneria heteroloba and W. obtusiloba are synonymized with W. pinnatifida, and W. acerosifolia is synonymized with W. staticifolia. Moreover, five infraspecific names and three supraspecific names are synonymized. Detailed descriptions, distribution maps, photographs of living plants (except for W. cochlearis), and a list of all specimens examined are provided for each accepted species. An identification key to the species and a list of exsiccatae are also given. Eight species are illustrated, two of them for the first time. The following names are lectotypified: Werneria brachypappa Sch. Bip., W. caespitosa Wedd., W. calyculata Turcz., W. canaliculata Sch. Bip., W. carnulosa A. Gray, W. densa Benth., W. disticha Kunth, W. glaberrima Phil., W. glandulosa Wedd., W. heteroloba f. microcephala Rockh., W. mandoniana Wedd. ex Klatt, W. nubigena Kunth, W. nubigena var. caulescens Wedd., W. nubigena var. dombeyana Wedd., W. orbignyana Wedd., W. orbignyana var. breviradiata A. Gray, W. orbignyana var. longifolia Rockh., W. pectinata Lingelsh., W. plantaginifolia Wedd. ex Klatt, W. pygmaea var. caespitosa Wedd., W. rhizoma J. Rémy, W. solivifolia Sch. Bip., W. staticifolia Sch. Bip., W. staticifolia var. celmisioides Wedd., and W. villosa A. Gray. The names Werneria knocheae Perkins, W. minima Walp., W. minima var. pygmaea Walp., and W. stuebelii Hieron. are neotypified, and an epitype is designated for W. glandulosa. At the supraspecific level, the name Werneria sect. Integrifoliae Rockh. is typified.
Pragmatics in Teacher Talk: The Case of Pre-Primary Education
Authors: Barón Júlia , Roquet Helena , Evnitskaya Natalia , Navarro Noelia
Published: July 2020

This study aims to explore how the speech act of requesting is performed in Catalan (L1), English (L1) and EFL classrooms by pre-primary teachers. The study examines transcripts of 40-minute video-recorded lessons (six in Catalan/L1, six in English/FL, and three in English/L1) collected in several pre-primary schools in Catalonia, Spain. Recall interviews with the teachers were also conducted in order to examine their perceptions of their pragmatic performances in the classroom. Results show that teachers predominantly use imperatives in the three groups (Catalan L1, English L1 and EFL); however, a wider variety of requesting strategies is used in the L1 lessons. The study concludes with reflections on the pedagogical implications of the findings and calls for the need to raise teachers’ awareness about the effect their language use might have on the development of learners’ pragmatic competence both in the L1 and the foreign language.
De beperkte toepasbaarheid van artikel 173a en 173b Sr in de praktijk

De beperkte toepasbaarheid van artikel 173a en 173b Sr in de praktijk

In milieuzaken wordt met enige regelmaat door (bijzondere) opsporingsinstanties een verdenking geuit van overtreding van artikel 173a of 173b Sr. Kort gezegd wordt een (rechts)persoon er dan van verdacht dat hij opzettelijk, of door zijn schuld, een stof in de bodem, lucht of het oppervlaktewater heeft gebracht, waardoor gevaar voor de openbare gezondheid te duchten was. Tot een vervolging voor deze gemeengevaarlijke milieudelicten komt het minder vaak. Bovendien blijkt dat in de zaken waar het Openbaar Ministerie (OM) wel besluit tot vervolging, dit niet zelden tot een vrijspraak leidt. In dit artikel wordt onderzocht in hoeverre de artikelen 173a en 173b Sr in de praktijk met succes worden toegepast en of een uitbreiding of aanpassing van de wetgeving noodzakelijk is in dat licht.
A ecosofia como paradigma estético: enfrentando o mar de lama
Authors: Vitkowski Jose Rogerio
Published: July 2020

Este artigo resulta de pesquisa bibliográfica na qual abordamos a ecosofia enquanto paradigma estético inserida no contexto dos problemas ecológicos contemporâneos.  Trata-se aqui de realizarmos um exercício de pensamento tendo como sustentação epistêmica a filosofia da multiplicidade, deleuze-guattariana, mais especificamente, com a proposta do filósofo Félix Guattari em torno de um paradigma ecosófico desdobrado em três grandes perspectivas ecológicas: a do meio ambiente, o das relações sociais e o da subjetividade humana.  Desses constructos depreendem-se pautas socioeducativas que permitem pensar maneiras de se vivenciar as relações do homem com a natureza, com o outro e consigo próprio.
O autocultivo e a educação da sensibilidade na pedagogia Waldorf
Authors: Bach Junior Jonas
Published: July 2020

Este artigo discute o papel que a experiência estética e a sensibilidade humana possuem dentro dos parâmetros educacionais da Pedagogia Waldorf, a partir da abordagem da filosofia da educação. A quebra de paradigma ocorre na ênfase e valorização da experiência humana, como fonte de vivências que enriquecem o mundo de sensações e sentimentos para dar suporte à vida cognitiva do ser humano. Steiner se inspirou na fenomenologia de Goethe para fundar sua concepção de educação e valorizou o desenvolvimento da sensibilidade como ideal para a formação humana (Bildung). A educação da sensibilidade é um fator importante tanto no autocultivo (Selbstbildung) dos professores, quanto na educação das crianças e jovens. O elemento chave na compreensão da educação estética não reside no que se ensina, mas no como.
Por uma pedagogia do belo: educação, estética e sensibilidades
Authors: Gomes Graciele Maria Coelho de Andrade , Carvalho Mário De Faria
Published: July 2020

Neste estudo interessamo-nos em problematizar o argumento kantiano sobre o gosto/juízo fora do objeto. Para tanto, é rediscutido o que é o ‘belo’ e ensaiada a proposição de uma categoria teórica denominada de ‘pedagogia do belo’ como forma de pensar a educação estética enquanto um saber que acontece a partir da consideração das sensibilidades e das subjetividades. Propomos que, na pedagogia do belo, a obra de arte opera como um artefato, uma metáfora mediadora. Assim, esta categoria dimensiona a reestruturação do consciente que assente ao imaginário; articula aspectos fundantes sobre as sensibilidades no fruir da existência e das experiências; permite a formação de valores estético-éticos por meio da contemplação sensível dos elementos simbólicos. A potência da pedagogia do belo remete ao modo pelo qual o conhecimento pode ser suscitado a partir da arte. Demonstra um caminho no qual o ato de conhecer decorre das trocas, dos afetos e da experiência.
Lectura y estética. Enseñar el deseo de leer
Authors: Skliar Carlos Bernardo
Published: July 2020

A questão do porquê a leitura hoje parece desatualizada ou um tanto pueril ou talvez equivocada nesses tempos em que a fórmula do para quê predomina – a moda da linguagem que apenas expressa sua servidão mais fiel – na qual até os recém-chegados ao mundo parecem sucumbirem. Essa pergunta não se refere ao tremor insistente e em movimento das entrelinhas, ou à incerteza que é instalada na frente e atrás de cada palavra, ou porque vale a pena interrogar pela respiração e desânimo da leitura, mas pelo vazio causado pelas repetições sem voz, esse tipo de burocracia da alma que está à frente das dúvidas, o boato silencioso, sua inutilidade habitual em um mundo que só se orgulha e se orgulha dos propósitos e benefícios.
Pesquisar e pesquisar-se na educação: movimentos criados pela estética e pelas sensibilidades
Authors: Pillotto Silvia Sell Duarte , Silva Carla Clauber da
Published: July 2020

o artigo objetiva problematizar os movimentos de pesquisar experimentados pelo pesquisador no processo investigativo e seus efeitos criados na/pela estética e sensibilidades. Nossa reflexão baseia-se em: como a experiência estética e as sensibilidades podem afetar a pesquisa nos movimentos investigativos e seus desdobramentos na educação? Sobre essa indagação, dialogamos com alguns autores: Deleuze (2006, 1988 e 1974) Deleuze e Guatarri (1995 e 1992), trazendo o conceito de cartografia, nos possibilitando criar outros modos de pesquisar; Schiller (2017), com o conceito dos impulsos - sensível e formal, provocando a necessidade da articulação entre ambos, e a natureza ambígua da racionalidade e da subjetividade. Morin (2003 e 1999), abordando o pensamento complexo na educação, capaz de unir e contextualizar, sem perder de vista a singularidade; Meira (2014) e Autores X (2010), ao mencionarem a experiência estética para pensar os processos educativos, como alimento que mobiliza e amplia as relações do sujeito no limiar do racional e do sensível; Maffesoli (2010, 2004 e 1998), que defende a razão sensível como uma alavanca metodológica para o exercício do pensamento. Para além desses autores, outros nos subsidiaram para a compreensão das sensibilidades como forças vitais e potência criadora que movem a existência humana e a pesquisa. Esse artigo, portanto, se constituiu no diálogo com as experiências em um Núcleo de Pesquisa em Arte na Educação, no qual pesquisar e pesquisar-se (entre)laçam-se com a estética e as sensibilidades. Ou seja, mapas vão se formando, se findando e se desdobrando nos processos educativos.
Experiência e educação estética: sentidos e epifanias de um sarau infantil na universidade federal da Bahia
Authors: Canda Cilene Nascimento , Souza Leila Damiana Almeida dos Santos , Souza Kleber Peixoto de
Published: July 2020

A pesquisa refere-se à integração de ações desenvolvidas a partir do Sarau Infantil: Toda Criança é um Poema. O Sarau se configura em diversificados espaços/tempos de apreciação e de produção artística, permeados por experiências corporais e sensíveis entre estudantes de licenciaturas da UFBA e crianças de escolas públicas. Intentamos pesquisar quais sentidos seriam produzidos pelos estudantes das licenciaturas a partir da experiência do Sarau Infantil, de modo que refletissem sobre os processos formativos a partir da vivência com as crianças. A fundamentação teórica se valeu dos estudos de Jacques Rancière (2005), acerca da partilha do sensível e a integração do saber, do pensar e do sentir; as contribuições de Friedrich Schiller (2002) sobre Educação Estética que permite passarmos do estado passivo da sensibilidade para o estado ativo do pensamento; Os estudos de Carbonell (2012) sobre o binômio “experiência-estética” que se relaciona ao exercício de sensibilidade; Dos construtos Maffesoli (2008) sobre sensibilidade e razão. Metodologicamente, os pressupostos da Pesquisa Participante permitiram que os participantes se enxergassem como agentes ativos da pesquisa, produzindo conhecimento e intervindo artisticamente na realidade. Duas categorias conduziram as análises: 1. Os sentidos produzidos sobre a experiência do Sarau; 2. A experiência de cunho estético, sentidos e reflexões na formação. Concluímos que poucos licenciados tinham vivenciado experiências estéticas/sensíveis ao longo da graduação. Outro aspecto levantado foi o distanciamento das licenciaturas dos estudos sobre infâncias. O Sarau Infantil demonstrou ser um momento rico de formação, onde foi possível viver, pensar, dar sentido e realizar inferências autônomas nos percursos formativos.
New requirements of standards for assessing parameters of ladders intended for use in various conditions
Authors: Dąbrowski Andrzej
Published: July 2020

This article presents new safety requirements for ladders in standard PN-EN 131-2+A2: 2017-02. They cover two categories of ladders – professional and non-professional ones – and additional cyclic fatigue tests. New ladder tests are carried out under conditions similar to those at workstations where they are used. This article discusses the compatibility of those changes with a division of those devices into categories resulting from differences in the extent and intensity of their use. It also discusses in detail new requirements for tests, and the diversity of ladders on the market. Salespersons are important as they should provide comprehensive information to companies or individuals about European standards and technical specifications of ladders.

Occupational stress of medical staff at psychiatric and addiction treatment wards – a review of research
Authors: Łuczak Anna , Baka Łukasz , Najmiec Andrzej
Published: July 2020

Occupational stress is an important problem in occupational safety and health, which recent research at EU-OSH has shown. The effect of occupational stress is observed both in workers (e.g., psychological problems, depression, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal diseases, diabetes) and in enterprises (e.g., sick leave, employee turnover, decreased productivity). Most managers are aware of occupational stress in their companies; few companies have procedures for coping with it, though. This article presents a review of studies on the causes of occupational stress in medical staff at psychiatric and addiction treatment wards, who are in direct contact with patients. Those are considered to be special jobs, where exposure to stress is intrinsic.

Authors: Hildt-Ciupińska Katarzyna
Published: July 2020

Self-assessment of health is an important factor determining caring for health, expressed by health behaviours. Lifestyle and health behaviours play a key role in shaping health as well as the risk of many diseases and mortality. This article presents preliminary results of research on self-assessment of health and caring for health among men active on the labour market. A total of 130 men were surveyed with a questionnaire developed for this project. Men rated high their health and caring for health, and defined these concepts correctly. They had substantial knowledge on health and caring for health. However, this was theoretical knowledge only. It is necessary to examine their health behaviours.
Evaluation of protective properties of safety anti-penetration inserts in footwear designed for professional use
Authors: Woźniak-Mileszczak Agnieszka , Woźniak Ewa , Decka Sebastian
Published: July 2020

In accordance with applicable standards: PN-EN 12568:2011 i PN-EN ISO 20344:2012, anti-penetration inserts and footwear outsole with anti-penetration inserts are tested at penetration velocity (10 ± 3) mm/min, with a test nail of (4.50 ± 0.05) mm in diameter and a conical tip with a truncation of 1 mm and an angle of 30o. This velocity is relatively low compared to penetration velocity when walking vigorously. The diameter of the test nail also exceeds diameters of most nails used in industry. Users’ contact with sharp objects potentially present on the ground at a worksite is usually more dynamic. It is important for footwear and the inserts to ensure workers’ safety. The Footwear Laboratory aimed to determine the effect of penetration velocity and test nail dimensions on the protective capacity of inserts. It also evaluated the quality of these items.

Motives of taking up education at postgradutae studies in the field of OSH and educational experiences of the alumni – research report
Authors: Taradejna Beata
Published: July 2020

The labour market’s state of affairs requires constant response to changes, new challenges and professional competences supplementation. The growing number of vocations meets the requirtment of constant upskilling. Modern employees are somewhat “condemned” to permanently develop their skills throughout education. It also seems the main spiritus movens of such actions are previously mentioned market changes, but is it only that? It’s interesting to search for the answer to the questions: “why do people undergo certain educational activities?”, “What motivates them to make a cognitive effort?”, “Why do some education programmes get chosen while some other are dismissed?” The article presents an analysis of the motives of such choices in regard of postgraduate studies in OSH as well as selected education experiences of graduates.

Extracting Coherent Structures in Near-Wall Turbulence Based on Wavelet Analysis
Authors: Du Peng , Hu Haibao , Huang Xiao
Published: July 2020

To analyze the properties of the coherent structures in near-wall turbulence, an extraction method based on wavelet transform (WT) and a verification procedure based on correlation analysis are proposed in this work. The flow field of the turbulent boundary layer is measured using the hot-film anemometer in a gravitational low-speed water tunnel. The obtained velocity profile and turbulence intensity are validated with traditional boundary layer theory. The fluctuating velocities at three testing positions are analyzed. Using the power spectrum density (PSD) and WT, coherent and incoherent parts of the near-wall turbulence are extracted and analyzed. The probability density functions (PDFs) of the extracted signals indicate that the incoherent structures of turbulence obey the Gaussian distribution, while the coherent structures deviate from it. The PDFs of coherent structures and original turbulence signals are similar, which means that coherent structures make the most contributions to the turbulence entrainment. A correlation parameter is defined at last to prove the validity of our extraction procedure.

Silvicultural Practices in Venezuelan Natural Forests: An Historical Perspective and Prospects of Sustainable Forest Management
Authors: Vilanova Emilio
Published: July 2020

More than four decades of cumulative silvicultural experience in Venezuelan forests represents a significant progress towards sustainable forest management in the tropics. Here, based on an extensive literature review, expert opinions and discussions with forestry stakeholders in the country, we offer a broad overview of the history and current state of silvicultural practices in Venezuela’s natural production forests. Despite important research advances, several factors including institutional and policy limitations, along with the lack of sound technical guidelines have hampered a more positive influence of silvicultural research for sustainable forest management across the country’s managed forests. On an industrial scale, after an often poorly planned selective logging, and despite increasing evidences against for, a strong prominence of assisted natural regeneration (i.e., enrichment planting) characterized the post-logging management compared to other approaches. With very few exceptions, using artificial regeneration did not produced the expected outcomes in terms of tree growth, expected timber yield and survival. Finally, amidst the current political and economic upheaval in Venezuela, a broad range of lessons and policy recommendations is proposed including the strengthening of research on silvicultural options for multiple use of forests and for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Published: July 2020

Background: Hypertension is one of the most serious global concerns since it has affected over 1.2 billion people. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, and lipid profile in hypertensive patients with vitamin D deficiency. Methods: In this double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial study, 116 hypertensive patients (intervention and placebo groups, 58 each) with vitamin D deficiency (< 30 ng/mL with ECL) for 14 weeks, started from the beginning of autumn 2019 in Seyed-al-Shohada Educational Hospital in Urmia City. Fifty-five patients (49%) were male with the mean vitamin D 15.89 ± 5.09 ng/mL and 57 females with 17.29 ± 6.31 ng/mL. In a stratified blocked randomization scheme, the patients were randomly allocated into similar sized intervention and control groups based on body mass index (BMI), then the randomization with four block size was performed in each of strata by random allocation software. The intervention group received six doses of 50,000 IU vitamin D supplements for 6 weeks, then two supplements for two following months (one capsule per month). Blood pressure (24/h blood pressure measured by an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device), vitamin D, FBS, and lipid profile (HDL, LDL, CL, and TG) were all measured at baseline and end of the study. Physical activity (measured by short IPAQ questionnaire), sun exposure using a questionnaire, dietary intake of vitamin D using three 24-hour recalls during the intervention, and anthropometric indices were measured at baseline, middle, and end of the study. Fifty-six patients in each group completed the study. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Urmia University of Medical Sciences (ethics code: IR.UMSU.REC.1398.192). Results: The office blood pressure, 24-h systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), nighttime SBP and DBP were significantly reduced in the intervention group compared to the control group, whereas the reduction of daytime SBP and DBP was not statistically significant. Vitamin D supplementation significantly decreased serum triglyceride, cholesterol, and LDL levels. Conclusions: Vitamin D supplementation had positive effects on blood pressure, triglyceride, cholesterol, and LDL levels in patients with low serum vitamin D.

Introdução: os serviços residenciais terapêuticos (SRTs), instituídos pela Portaria 106/2000, oferecem moradia a egressos de hospitais psiquiátricos no processo de desinstitucionalização e devem seguir as determinações legais, com o objetivo de promover a reabilitação psicossocial. Objetivo: descrever e analisar 11 SRTs do estado de São Paulo, Brasil, a partir da portaria/GM nº 106 de 11 de fevereiro de 2000. Método: estudo quantitativo-descritivo que utilizou como instrumento de coleta um questionário autopreenchido por um profissional-chave de cada serviço. Os dados foram organizados de acordo com os núcleos de informação e analisados de forma estatístico-descritiva. Resultados: os SRTs estudados cumprem a maior parte das determinações nos aspectos relacionados ao funcionamento e organização, como: serem de natureza pública, cadastrados no SUS, integrados à rede de saúde mental e número de moradores por casa; por outro lado, quanto às visitas de acompanhamento estaduais e municipais, o estado realizava pouco mais da metade e os municípios, abaixo disso; mais da metade das casas situava-se fora da comunidade; muitos não recebiam auxílio financeiro a que tinham direito. Discussão: os SRTs precisam de mais acompanhamento das autoridades estaduais e municipais, oportunizando melhorias de funcionamento para os serviços; as casas fora da comunidade dificultam o convívio comunitário e o objetivo de reabilitação psicossocial; o BPC-LOAS pode ser recebido por todos os usuários, fomentando mais autonomia financeira. Conclusão: a adequação dos aspectos que ainda não correspondem aos instituídos pela portaria pode aprimorar os serviços, principalmente na busca pela reabilitação psicossocial.

Objetivo: construir e validar uma cartilha educativa para a sala de apoio à amamentação. Métodos: estudo metodológico realizado em três etapas: levantamento bibliográfico, elaboração do material educativo e validação por juízes especialistas. A estrutura do material quanto à sequência das informações, design, ilustrações, cores e diagramação foi feita por profissional especializado. Resultados: a produção final resultou na cartilha intitulada: “Voltei a trabalhar, como vou amamentar?”. Participaram da validação nove juízes especialistas na área, avaliando os aspectos: “conteúdo” e “exatidão científica” validados a partir do cálculo do IVC, com média de 0,81, seguindo corte indicado pela literatura considerando esses itens validados para “aparência”. Considerou-se nível de concordância entre os especialistas variando entre 86,8 e 97,6%, sendo o mínimo estabelecido de 75%, validando esse aspecto. Conclusão: o objetivo de construir e validar uma tecnologia educativa voltada para a sala de amamentação, pioneira neste enfoque específico, foi alcançado.

Objetivo: realizar a adaptação transcultural do instrumento Toronto Pain Management Inventory - Acute Coronary Syndrome para o Português brasileiro e analisar evidências de validade de face do instrumento adaptado. Métodos: para a adaptação transcultural foram seguidos os procedimentos propostos pelo Guideline for Establishing Cultural Equivalency of Instruments (RDC/TMD) Consortium Network (fase 1). Para verificar a concordância entre os juízes na análise das equivalências foi utilizado o índice de validade de conteúdo (IVC). A validade de face foi feita com enfermeiros durante o pré-teste e consistiu na avaliação da facilidade da compreensão para responder aos itens. Resultados: o instrumento adaptado alcançou equivalência linguística. As equivalências semântica, idiomática, experimental e conceitual tiveram IVC médios de 98,5 (IC 95% 97,1-100,0), 97,8 (IC 95% 96,0-99,5), 94,1 (IC95% 91,6-96,6) e 99,6 (IC 95% 98,9-100,0). No pré-teste, 92,5% dos enfermeiros consideraram o instrumento de fácil compreensão e 85% não encontraram dificuldade. Conclusão: o instrumento adaptado é culturalmente equivalente ao instrumento original e reúne evidências de validade de face. As propriedades psicométricas do instrumento ainda serão investigadas.

Objetivo: o estudo objetivou desenvolver uma reflexão teórica acerca da formação docente do enfermeiro para atuar na docência universitária atrelada, a construção de competências pedagógicas na graduação e pós-graduação stricto sensu, assim como repensar o fazer da profissão. Método: estudo reflexivo, com aporte teórico das publicações recentes sobre o objeto de estudo e aporte epistemológico sob os construtos da professora Vilma de Carvalho subdivido em três eixos temáticos. Resultados: a prática pedagógica interessa à formação da consciência profissional, haja vista, ser a Enfermagem uma prática viva com seres humanos e suas subjetividades. A área do ensino é, atualmente, uma notável opção de inserção do enfermeiro no mercado de trabalho. E esta realidade propõe uma necessidade da formação desde a graduação, de competências para uma prática pedagógica transformadora capaz de habilitar este profissional para docência no ensino superior. E como principal caminho para essa formação apontou-se a pós-graduação stricto sensu, como estratégia para uma educação contemporânea, desde que viabilize ferramentas adequadas para o enfrentamento dos problemas no mundo do ensino e a qualificação necessária a profissão, ao sistema único de saúde e a comunidade. Conclusão: conclui-se que a Enfermagem traz na identidade profissional uma forte essência educativa, e dessa forma contribui na formação do enfermeiro para docência universitária desde que leve em consideração aspectos da formação generalista conforme as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais, mas também teorias inovadoras da educação, e juntas potencializem a formação pedagógica desde a graduação.
Robótica, cine y derecho

La robótica, en particular la que tiene figura humana –androide- se muestra como un ámbito de desarrollo presente y futuro. Desde la Unión Europea se estudia la futura regulación de las cuestiones éticas y jurídicas que inciden en la robótica en su relación con el ser humano. Se pretende una regulación que persiga la protección de todas las personas que interactúen con robots.

El estudio de la evolución de la imagen del robot es mucho más antiguo que su regulación, y está presente en prácticamente todas las disciplinas artísticas. En la cinematografía, en particular, la robótica es una temática recurrente dentro del ámbito de la ciencia ficción. En el artículo se presenta un estudio de la imagen y categoría ética del robot cinematográfico desde los orígenes del cine; analizando su visión desde el ser humano. En dicha evolución se observa el gran peso de la imagen androide, que genera respeto, miedo, incertidumbre; frente a los robots máquinas.

Tras el estudio de la evolución de la imagen del robot resulta posible enfrentar con mayor claridad los retos jurídicos que se afrontan. La imagen del robot es fundamental; y más aún en los colectivos necesitados de una protección especial. Ello puede llevar a concluir la necesidad de controlar la imagen del robot y su semejanza con el ser humano en los supuestos de interacción con sujetos necesitados de protección, que no distingan fácilmente realidad de ficción, por razón de edad o de limitaciones físicas temporales o permanentes.

Robotics, in particular that which has a human figure -android- is shown as a sphere of present and future development. The European Union studies the future regulation of ethical and legal issues that affect robotics in its relationship with human beings. The aim is to regulate the protection of all people who interact with robots.

The study of the evolution of the image of the robot is much older than its regulation, and is present in virtually all artistic disciplines. In cinematography, in particular, robotics is a recurring theme within the field of science fiction. The article presents a study of the image and ethical category of the cinematographic robot from the origins of cinema; Analyzing his vision from the human being. In this evolution the great weight of the android image is observed, which generates respect, fear, uncertainty; in front of the robots machines.

After studying the evolution of the robot's image, it is possible to face with greater clarity the legal challenges that are faced. The image of the robot is fundamental; and even more so in groups in need of special protection. This may lead to the conclusion of the need to control the image of the robot and its resemblance to the human being in the cases of interaction with subjects in need of protection, who do not easily distinguish reality from fiction, due to age or temporary or permanent physical limitations .
