A forma da cidade: deslocamento, porosidade e ressonância na escrita
Authors: Caimi Claudia Luiza
Published: February 2020

Apresenta-se aqui uma discussão a propósito texto “A polifonia na escrita: rastros, riscos e experiência”, o qual estabelece uma íntima relação entre o mapa da cidade e a escrita, entre a linguagem e o pensamento, entre a dimensão política e a estética que percorre um texto.  Propomos apresentar, a partir do pensamento de Walter Benjamin, como o pensador/narrador percorre a cidade e a narra. Benjamin nos mostra como a cidade proporciona uma forma de narrativa e de pensamento que expõe o grão da diferença na engrenagem das tensões da vivência do homem moderno, indivíduo-massa habitante do grande espaço urbano, solitário, anônimo, que vive o choque em meio à profusão de automóveis, prédios e avenidas labirínticas. A partir da experiência na cidade, Walter Benjamin propõe uma escrita de montagem documental, que exibe ao invés de demonstrar e renuncia o valor discursivo, dedutivo e demonstrativo da escrita acadêmica em favor de um aspecto mais icônico e mostrativo. A montagem como forma estética e de pensamento permite expor a desterritorialização dos objetos do conhecimento, pois nela as diferenças nunca são absorvidas numa síntese positiva. O intervalo é por excelência, no pensamento benjaminiano, o instrumento epistemológico de desterritorialização disciplinar que permite saber e ver uma política do presente que inscreve os complexos processos memoriais.
A atenção cartográfica e o gosto pelos problemas
Authors: Kastrup Virginia
Published: February 2020

O artigo dá continuidade e amplia a discussão sobre o funcionamento da atenção no trabalho do cartógrafo, colocando o problema da possibilidade de ensinar a atenção cartográfica e a política cognitiva da invenção. Baseado nas ideias de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, aponta a necessidade de uma aprendizagem inventiva para chegar a uma atenção concentrada e aberta ao plano coletivo de forças. Sugere que as condições de possibilidade de tal aprendizagem podem ser criadas pela prática de contato direto com as forças da matéria que habitam os objetos do mundo e também pela prática mediada por um professor. Recorrendo ao trabalho de Antoine Hennion sobre a pragmática do gosto, aponta que o professor pode acompanhar o processo do aprendiz, despertando nele o curioso gosto pela experiência de problematização que caracteriza o trabalho do cartógrafo. Em lugar de centrar o ensino na linguagem, trata-se de cultivar e compartilhar processos de problematização, envolvidos na atenção ao mundo e na atenção a si.

QUALIDADE DE VIDA DOS BENEFICIÁRIOS DO PRONAF FLORESTA EM UBAÍRA BA
Authors: Andrade Nei Fábio do Nascimento , Gomes Aline Fonseca , Carvalho Sergio Roberto Lemos de
Published: February 2020

As políticas públicas são ferramentas de intervenção, principalmente do Estado, para trazer equidade social, econômica ou ambiental, ou para sanar desigualdades históricas, a exemplo daquelas voltadas para a agricultura familiar no Brasil. Dentre elas, destaca-se o Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar – PRONAF, que tem como sua principal diretriz a melhora na qualidade de vida das famílias beneficiadas. O presente artigo teve como objetivo avaliar a eficácia de uma política pública percebendo se houve melhora do índice de qualidade de vida, e também traçar o perfil socioeconômico dos agricultores. A pesquisa foi realizada com 34 produtores rurais do município de Ubaíra BA, beneficiários de um subprograma do Pronaf, o Floresta, destinado para o plantio da lavoura de eucalipto em suas propriedades no ano de 2007. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva de natureza quantitativa e qualitativa, com aplicação de questionários com os agricultores e entrevistas com as entidades envolvidas na aplicação da política pública. Com os dados coletados através do questionário, além de se ter o perfil socioeconômico dos agricultores, foi possível criar um Índice de Qualidade de Vida – IQV baseado no utilizado por Fernandes (1999), buscando perceber a variação desse índice antes do financiamento, e agora, cerca de 11 anos depois, com o fechamento da cadeia produtiva da lavoura financiada. Através da análise dos resultados encontrados, percebe-se que a melhora da qualidade de vida foi pequena, e que, segundo os agricultores o Pronaf Floresta não foi o responsável por essa mudança.

Published: February 2020

A bioética caracteriza-se como estudo sistemático da conduta humana na medida em que essa conduta é avaliada a luz dos valores e princípios morais, sendo imprescindível que o profissional de saúde domine esses princípios para prestar um cuidado de qualidade. A assistência ao parto e nascimento ainda se mantém como desafio para assistência, visto que, o modelo do cuidado insiste em permanecer mecanizado e condensado as medicalizações desnecessárias. Desta forma, o estudo teve como objetivo geral: Investigar a assistência de enfermagem prestada em uma maternidade pública na cidade de Salvador (Bahia) à luz das condutas bioéticas em relação à humanização do parto. Participaram do estudo dez enfermeiras obstétricas. A coleta de dados foi realizada através de uma entrevista estruturada contendo seis questões. Para análise dos dados foi adotado a técnica de Análise de Conteúdo, segundo Minayo. Dessa forma, percebeu-se que, quanto à assistência no parto, todas têm entendimento sobre o processo de humanização; em relação aos procedimentos humanizados/bioéticos, evidenciou-se preocupação, bem como o conhecimento das enfermeiras sobre os procedimentos humanizados; sobre a garantia dos direitos das parturientes, percebeu-se que os mesmos são cumpridos, tendo em vista que todas as entrevistadas relataram que a garantia destes era prioridade na instituição que foi realizado a pesquisa. Com a realização dessa pesquisa, conclui-se a grande relevância de estudos que contemplem a Bioética no processo parturitivo, principalmente sobre as condutas dos profissionais diante do parto.
On submanifolds of an almost contact metric manifold admitting a quarter-symmetric non-metric connection
Authors: He Guoqing , Zhao Peibiao
Published: February 2020

We study submanifolds of an almost contact metric manifold admitting a
quarter-symmetric non-metric connection. We prove the induced connection on
a submanifold is also quarter-symmetric non-metric connection. We consider
the total geodesicness and minimality of a submanifold with respect to the
quarter-symmetric non-metric connection. We obtain the Gauss, Cadazzi and
Ricci equations for submanifolds with respect to the quarter-symmetric
non-metric connection and show some applications of these equations.
Finally, we give two examples verifying the results

In 2012, Drazin introduced a class of outer generalized inverse in a ring R,
the (b,c)-inverse of a for a, b, c ? R and denoted by a||(b,c). In this
paper, rank equalities of AkA||(B,C)- A||(B,C)Ak and (A*)kA||(B,C)-
A||(B,C)(A*)k are obtained. As applications, weinvestigate equivalent
conditions for the equalities (A*)kA||(B,C) = A||(B,C)(A*)k and AkA||(B,C) =
A||(B,C)Ak. As corollaries we obtain rank equalities related to the
Moore-Penrose inverse, the core inverse, and the Drazin inverse. The paper
finishes with some rank equalities involving different e
Geometric modeling and complexity - a conceptual approach in architectural design and education
Authors: Cahtarevic Rada , Proho Adna
Published: February 2020

By encompassing abstraction and patterned information, the new fields of
geometry and mathematical models of complex dynamic spatial systems provide
a new method for spatial modeling. Different approaches to the application
of spatial modeling in architectural design are possible, taking into
consideration on the one hand the theoretical background and knowledge of
geometry, and on the other, advanced computational techniques. The
generative principles of complex dynamic spatial formation allow parallels
between the differentiated representations and directions of approach to
spatial organization. The integration of conceptual, theoretical and
practical methods into complex dynamic geometric models in the preliminary
phase of design could support the development of cognitive capabilities,
internal representations and understanding of complex dynamic formative
processes. The development of nonlinear, dynamic, complex spatial
imaginative thinking corresponds with trends in contemporary computational
design. The application of complex geometric modeling, including
sophisticated mechanisms of human perception, intelligence and creativity,
provides a synthesis of artificial and human potential.
How Do Look-Back Analyses and Evidence Specificity Affect Auditors' Planning Judgments?
Authors: Backof Ann G. , Martin Roger D. , Thayer Jane
Published: February 2020

During a look-back analysis, auditors review prior-period evidence to understand estimation inaccuracies and assess the reliability of management's estimation process. We find that evidence specificity moderates the relation between the consistency of an estimation inaccuracy with management's incentives and auditors' reliability assessments. The direction of an estimation inaccuracy has no effect on auditors' reliability assessments when the prior-period evidence is less specific. When prior-period evidence is more specific, auditors report the highest (lowest) reliability assessments of management's estimation process when an estimation inaccuracy is inconsistent (consistent) with management's incentives. Auditors' low reliability assessments in the more specific, consistent condition, however, do not translate to high risk assessments. Instead, specificity has a main effect on auditors' risk assessments. A follow-up experiment reveals, though, an inverse relation between auditors' reliability and risk assessments when auditors are provided procedures to address various levels of assessed misstatement risk.
Usefulness of Interest Income Sensitivity Disclosures
Authors: Cheng Mei , Hodder Leslie D. , Watkins Jessica
Published: February 2020

We document multiple dimensions of usefulness of banks' interest income sensitivity disclosures. First, we find management-generated sensitivity measures are predictive of future realized changes in net interest income. Second, we find financial analysts' forecasts of net interest income reflect information provided by interest income sensitivity disclosures. Third, we find equity market responses to interest rate shocks as well as firms' interest rate betas are larger for banks with greater disclosed sensitivity of net interest income to interest rate changes. Across all of these tests, the informativeness of income sensitivity measures is incremental to that of regulatory data. These results suggest that interest income sensitivity disclosures are informative measures of interest rate risk. Our results contradict assertions that these disclosures are useless due to lack of relevance of income sensitivity, poor modeling techniques, and/or redundancy relative to regulatory data.

U.S. Political Corruption and Audit Fees
Authors: Jha Anand , Kulchania Manoj , Smith Jared
Published: February 2020

Using data on corruption convictions from the U.S. Department of Justice, we find that auditors charge higher fees when a firm is headquartered in a more corrupt district. This result is robust to a wide range of time and location fixed effects, using capital city isolation as an instrument, and propensity score matching. We also find that, relative to those in non-corrupt districts, firms in corrupt districts are more likely to have weak internal controls and restate earnings, and that their auditors exert greater effort. This evidence suggests that auditing firms located in corrupt areas entails additional risk, which auditors price into fees.

The Effect of Trade Secrets Law on Stock Price Synchronicity: Evidence from the Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine
Authors: Kim Yongtae , Su Lixin (Nancy) , Wang Zheng , Wu Haibin
Published: February 2020

We exploit the staggered recognition of the Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine (IDD) by U.S. state courts to examine the effect of trade secret protection on the amount of firm-specific information incorporated in stock prices, as reflected in stock price synchronicity. We find that after certain state courts recognize the IDD, firms headquartered in those states exhibit a significant increase in stock price synchronicity relative to firms in other states. We also find a significant decrease in the disclosure of proprietary information in the firms' 10-K reports. These results suggest that IDD recognition increases the proprietary cost of disclosure and, in response, corporate managers withhold more information. In addition, we find that the increase in stock price synchronicity and the decrease in the disclosure of proprietary information lead to increases in the firm's market share, cost of equity, and market-to-book ratio, suggesting that managers sacrifice capital market benefits for product market gains.

Government Procurement and Changes in Firm Transparency
Authors: Samuels Delphine
Published: February 2020

The government requires its suppliers to have certain internal information processes to reduce uncertainty about their ability to fulfill their commitments. I argue that these requirements improve suppliers' internal information, which leads to better external reporting. Using a dataset of U.S. government contracts, I find a positive relation between government contract awards and firms' external reporting quality. Consistent with procurement-related requirements driving this relation, I find that firms improve their external reporting when they begin contracting with the government, and that the magnitude of the improvement varies predictably with contract characteristics imposing greater requirements on contractors' internal information processes. Finally, I use the establishment of the Cost Accounting Standards Board in 1970 as a shock to contractors' internal information requirements, and find greater improvements in external reporting among firms subject to the CASB. Overall, these results suggest that the government as a customer contributes to shaping firms' information environments.
Distribution of Highly Prevalent Musculoskeletal Disorders and Their Association With Diabetes Complications in a Population of 140 Individuals With Type 1 Diabetes: A Retrospective Study in a French Diabetes Center
Authors: Picard Sylvie , Vasilevski Dimitar , Fagherazzi Guy
Published: February 2020

Although they are usually not considered to be diabetes complications, musculoskeletal disorders (MSKDs) are common in individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and can strongly interfere with daily diabetes care, especially in people using diabetes technologies. The authors of this retrospective study in a population of 140 patients with type 1 diabetes report the distribution of subtypes of MSKDs and speculate about the mechanisms involved. The authors emphasize the need for multidisciplinary care involving not only the diabetes care team but also orthopedic surgeons. This report should lead to large, prospective studies to increase knowledge about these under-studied complications.

OBJECTIVE

Suboptimal adherence to insulin treatment is a main issue in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. However, to date, there are no available data on adherence to adjunct noninsulin medications in this population. Our aim was to assess adherence to ACE inhibitors and statins and explore potential determinants in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

There were 443 adolescents with type 1 diabetes recruited into the Adolescent Type 1 Diabetes Cardio-Renal Intervention Trial (AdDIT) and exposed to treatment with two oral drugs—an ACE inhibitor and a statin—as well as combinations of both or placebo for 2–4 years. Adherence was assessed every 3 months with the Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) and pill count.

RESULTS

Median adherence during the trial was 80.2% (interquartile range 63.6–91.8) based on MEMS and 85.7% (72.4–92.9) for pill count. Adherence based on MEMS and pill count dropped from 92.9% and 96.3%, respectively, at the first visit to 76.3% and 79.0% at the end of the trial. The percentage of study participants with adherence ≥75% declined from 84% to 53%. A good correlation was found between adherence based on MEMS and pill count (r = 0.82, P < 0.001). Factors associated with adherence were age, glycemic control, and country.

CONCLUSIONS

We report an overall good adherence to ACE inhibitors and statins during a clinical trial, although there was a clear decline in adherence over time. Older age and suboptimal glycemic control at baseline predicted lower adherence during the trial, and, predictably, reduced adherence was more prevalent in subjects who subsequently dropped out.
THE RESULTS OF TREATMENT OF BONE CYSTS AND BONE TUMORS IN CHILDREN
Authors: Solovyov A.. E , Laricheva O. V.
Published: February 2020

This article presents the results of observation (maximum period 5 years) of 249 children with bone cysts and bone tumors, of these, 20,1% of children were diagnosed with aneurysmal cysts, 74,3% - of benign tumors and 5,6% - of malignant tumors. It was shown that a differentiated approach in the treatment of children with bone cysts and benign bone tumors, including conservative events and radical surgical tactics with the use of bioimpendance Tutoplast R and allografts, allows to obtain good and satisfactory results in 64,0% of the cases. However, the results of treatment of children with osteosarcoma at the present time remain unsatisfactory: the 5-year relapse-free survival was only 6 of 14 cases, recurrence of the disease in 5 cases, fatal in 8 cases. According to the authors, to im prove the results of treatment in this group of patients, it is necessary to improve cancer alertness of general practitioners and the use of combined modern treatment programs at specialized medical institutions in all these patients.

Published: February 2020

Teacher training is a key aspect for the success of any educational system and it is a prior challenge to facein-depth in Zambia. This study explores some dimensions of prospective secondary mathematics teachers’ subject-matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge restricted to the topic of the function concept. Data were collected by means of a questionnaire that was administered to a sample of 150 prospective teachers enrolled attwo public universities inCopperbelt, Zambia. A two-step cluster analysis was used to reveal natural grouping within the datasetobtained. As a result, a two-cluster solution was revealedas the solution that best profiled the data, with participants within both clusters scoringlow in the knowledge domains under consideration. To further understand the results a one-way between-subjects multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and a follow-up discriminant function analysis (DFA) were also conducted. Common content knowledge was shown to be the most important factor in discriminating between prospective teachers in Cluster 1 and those in Cluster 2. The knowledge inadequacies identified are certainly worrisome and are likely to be transferred to young learners at secondary schools. Consequently, it is necessary to address with some urgency certain reforms in educational policies for teacher training programs in Zambia.

Why fertility has been declining in Finland after the Global Recession?
Authors: Hiilamo Heikki
Published: February 2020

A steady improvement in the economy and employment since 2010 did not stop the drop in total fertility rate in Finland. Declining fertility now includes women in almost all age and educational groups in the country. This decline has continued long enough to also indicate a dramatic decrease in completed fertility, which is a departure from decades of sustained levels of completed fertility. Drawing from a range of publicly available descriptive data, this article assesses the extent to which old and new theories of fertility are relevant in explaining this development. In conclusion, the fertility development in Finland is surprising, and challenges traditional theories on fertility, which analyse fertility from economic and gender perspectives. Social interaction theory holds more promise. However, it is very difficult to find data sources which could elucidate the role of social interaction in the fertility decline. Designing pro-natalistic policies is challenging before there is more detailed evidence and understanding concerning the key drivers of the fertility decline in Finland.

Who makes the news? Promoting gender equality in and through the news media
Authors: Turley Anna
Published: February 2020

Women in bikinis posing on a beach, heart attacks and snoring. What’s the connection? Well, to most of us none. Yet one Turkish television news report on 1 February 2000 deemed it appropriate to illustrate a serious story on scientific research into the link between heart attacks and snoring in women with footage of scantily clad women posing on a beach! It is stories like these that have come under the microscope in three international media monitoring projects over the last 10 years. When the first Global Media Monitoring Project (or GMMP as it has come to be known) was conducted in 1995, few of those involved could have imagined that it would develop in the way that it went on to do. Ten years later, with the third such project now complete, the enormous significance of this international initiative is clear. These three projects constitute the most extensive global research of gender in news media ever undertaken and as such they provide an enlightening example of the importance of media monitoring as a tool for change.
Gender and journalism
Authors: Goward Pru
Published: February 2020

The media is an important cultural gatekeeper, but not a disinterested one. Inevitably journalists, their interests, backgrounds, intellectual capacity and prejudices shape what they consider we need to know. Even unconsciously they filter what they want us to know about ourselves, each other and the world. This makes the media a major vehicle, although curiously not the only vehicle, for the shaping of public opinion and in particular for the management of our responses to change. The media is also one of four so-called pillars of democracy, ensuring electors are able to make informed choices as well as engage in public policy debate. Accordingly an effective media represents a diversity ogf opinion and a range of interests which include the rights and interests and real lives of women as well as the contribution they make to the life of the nation. That's why gender counts in journalism. It is part of diversity.

REVIEW: Holding the US Fourth Estate to account on Iraq
Authors: King Andrea
Published: February 2020

It is a truism that one should not shoot the messenger who brings bad news. But what about the messenger who ignores or discards bad news? In the 1970s, the role of investigative reporting in the Vietnam war, the exposure of the Watergate scandal and the subsequent downfall of President Richard Nixon elevated journalists to folk-hero status in the US. The resulting image of journalists—whip-smart, fearless and always one step ahead of the people and events they are covering—persisted through the end of the 20th century.
