KUŞAKLAR VE ÖRGÜTSEL SESSİZLİK / SESLİLİK
Authors: Gündüz Şafak , Pekçetaş Tuğrul
Published: April 2018

Amaç: Kuşaklar; dönemler arasındaki siyasi, kültürel ve diğer
değişkenlerden etkilenen yaş grupları olarak ifade edilmekle birlikte, daha
derinlemesine incelendiğinde, kuşakları birbirlerinden ayıran tek ayrıntının
yaş farklılıkları olmadığı açıkça görülmektedir. Örgütsel tutumlar ve örgütle
ilgili tüm unsurlarda kuşaklar arasında derin farklılıklar olabildiği,
literatürdeki çalışmalarda ortaya koyulmuştur. Bir örgütsel tutum olan örgütsel
sessizliğin de farklı kuşaklarda farklı düzeylerde gelişmesi de söz konusu olabilir.
Yeni işgücünün beklentileri doğrultusunda şekil alma yönünde liderlik
çalışmalarının yapılandırılması gereğinin duyulduğu bir gerçektir. Bu
doğrultuda bu çalışmanın amacı örgüt içindeki sessizlik/seslilik düzeyinin
kuşaklar temelinde değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntem: Bu amaç ile 30 maddelik Örgütsel Sessizlik Ölçeği
kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle akaryakıt dağıtım sektöründen seçilen kişiler
üzerinde uygulanmıştır.  İstanbul’da
faaliyet gösteren bir akaryakıt dağıtım şirketinin 10 istasyonundan 133 kişi
çalışmaya katılmıştır. Bulgular: X kuşağının genel örgütsel sessizlik düzeyinin Y
kuşağına oranla daha yüksek olduğu ortaya konulmuştur.

Sonuç: Bu
araştırmanın literatüre yaptığı en önemli katkı, yöneticilerin uygun örgüt iklimi
oluşturmalarında X ve Y kuşağı özelliklerini dikkate alabilmeleri adına yol
gösterici olmasıdır.

Government Expenditure and Poverty Reduction in Nigeria
Authors: Oriavwote Victor E. , Ukawe Andrew
Published: April 2018

This research investigates the relevance of government expenditure on poverty reduction in Nigeria. The main objective is thus to investigate whether the poverty reduction efforts through government spending has actually translated into a reduction in the poverty level. The study covered the period between 1980 and 2016. The ECM model and cointegration models of the OLS as well as the granger causality techniques were used to analyze the data. The result of the ADF unit root test indicates that all the variables are I(1). The result of the Johansen cointegration indicates the existence of a long run equilibrium relationship among the variables. The result of the parsimonious ECM indicates that though the one period lag government expenditure on health has a significant and positive impact on the per capita income, it has a low elasticity. The result indicates further that government expenditure on education has a significant and positive impact on the per capita income. The result indicates further that government expenditure on building and construction has a significant and positive impact on the per capita income, the elasticity is however very low. The granger causality test result indicates no causality between government expenditure on health and education. A bicausal relationship however exists between government expenditure on education and per capita income. The result shows no causality between government expenditure on building and construction and the per capita income. The result recommends amongst others an increment and proper monitoring of government spending which could be enhanced through public private partnership.
ON THE THRESHOLD OF “ADULTHOOD”: WESTERN BALKANS’ TRANSITION FAILURES
Authors: Manić Slavica , Joksimović Ljubinka
Published: April 2018

After the beginning of the transformation of centrally-planned economies into market economies, the implementation of a transition project in the case of new EU members (a total of 10 countries joined through the enlargements of 2004 and 2007) lasted for almost two decades, far longer than the pessimistic forecasters announced. By contrast, the Western Balkan countries (in total 6 of them), with the exception of Croatia (EU member since 2013.), have neither continuity nor adequate success in carrying out the reform processes. That is why their transition still has an uncertain outcome and an unpredictable duration. In order to determine to which stages the less developed countries have arrived at the moment when those more advanced have almost finished their transition, we will use the EBRD indicators. We will then explain the phases of Western Balkans transition dynamics (first wave reforms and deeper reforms) in order to show that these economies have partially followed the pattern reccommended by advanced economies, leaving the segment of deeper reforms unfinished. Finally, relying on the new model for measuring transitional progress (which the EBRD has been using since 2011), we will try to evaluate which part of the predicted trajectory Western Balkans really crossed on their path to transitional “adulthood”.

Published: April 2018

There is almost a generally accepted view that quality is one of the most important factors of company competitiveness. For this reason, quality needs to be managed. In response to the need for management and requirements for high quality, theory and practice have developed several concepts. Total Quality Management (TQM) and Kaizen are two basic concepts directly involved in continuous improvement of product and process quality in the company, aimed at achieving positive transformation in the minds and actions of employees and managers. The focus of this paper is the analysis of the mentioned concepts and their contribution to the program of continuous quality improvement. Hence, the goal set by this paper is to review the basic characteristics of TQM and Kaizen, and, on the basis of a comparative analysis, draw conclusion about the distinction between them in terms of essence and practical application in the field of quality management.
SCHOOL INDICATORS OF ENCOURAGING HUMANISTIC EDUCATION OF ADOLESCENTS
Authors: Jevtić Bisera , Jovanović Marija
Published: April 2018

Encouragement of humanistic education through the lens of prosocial behavior of adolescents is a complex and extensive issue of the modern world. Prosocial behaviour can indirectly affect the achievement of pupils at school through its connection with some academically relevant forms of behaviour which lead to success at school and work. Also, this connection can be explained by the teacher’s preferences of prosocial pupils, which is reflected in the teacher’s expectations and behaviour towards pupils, as well as the evaluation of their work. Besides, prosocial behaviour can also directly affect pupils since the prosocial interaction of peers can have a positive effect on the intellectual exchanges between pupils, which contributes to a more successful learning process. Taking into consideration the significance and role of the school and teachers, as representatives of the educational process, in encouraging prosocial behaviour in the young at secondary schools, we face a problem: Do secondary school teachers encourage prosocial humanistic behaviour of the young, by what actions and activities are they guided in the process and how does that reflect on the behaviour of pupils? This study tried to give some answers related to this problem in the field of education.

The idea of ambivalence in gender prejudice, as one of the modern forms of prejudice, has been in the spotlight of social psychologists for the last two decades, sometimes even more than most of the well-explored, traditional forms of prejudice such as ethnic or race prejudices. The central problem of this paper is the level of ambivalent gender prejudice toward men and women in students, as well as what the relation of attitudes towards gender roles is, as well as some other variables, and the level of gender prejudice. For research purposes, several scales were applied: Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI), the Ambivalence toward Men Inventory (AMI), and Attitudes towards Gender Roles scale (ATGR). The sample consisted of 715 students of 34 faculties of the Universities in Novi Sad and Belgrade, as well as students of the Academy of Criminalistics and Police Studies and Military Academy in Belgrade. The results show that gender prejudices (although there are smaller differences with respect to the type of prejudice) are most strongly predicted by the attitudes towards gender roles, the respondents’ gender and the type of faculty (almost consistently students of social and human sciences expressed less prejudices). Also, the most prominent were the benevolent prejudices toward women, confirming that in our culture, this kind of behaviour is still not considered as a problematic treatment of the opposite (but also own) gender.

The main aim of the conducted research was to evaluate the Nikola Tesla Center (hereandafter NTC) learning system in school settings and to assess its potential advantages over the traditional method of teaching. There were two samples in this research. The first sample consisted of 46 pupils from two classes of the fifth grade, from which one was using the NTC learning system, and the other one traditional forms of teaching. Pupils were tested with the Bond’s logical operation test and academic self-regulation questionnaire. Differences between the two classes were tested using the t-test for independent samples. The results showed that fifth graders who were using the NTC learning system achieved a significantly higher score in the level of formal thinking development. The second sample consisted of 31 pupils from two classes of the first grade - one class was using the NTC system and the other one traditional method of teaching. First graders were tested with the REVISK subscales (vocabulary, understanding and information), short version of academic self-regulation questionnaire, Bender-Gestalt test and divergent thinking test. In this case, using the Mann-Whitney U test (due to the small sample), no significant differences between these two groups were found on intelligence, motivation, visual-motor functioning and divergent thinking. Based on these results the effectiveness of the program in developing formal-operational thinking at age of 11/12 years can be assumed.
THE IMPACT OF CRISIS TRENDS IN BANKING ON EXPANDING FINANCIAL SAFETY NET
Authors: Jemović Mirjana , Krstić Borko
Published: April 2018

Stable and efficient functioning of financial institutions, especially banking institutions, requires the existence of an adequate regulatory framework. The differences in the character and functioning of financial institutions caused differences in the regulatory approaches for maintaining stability and efficiency, whereby one should bear in mind that even within a concrete financial system, the regulatory framework evolves in order to be able to respond to new trends in the financial services sector. A growing homogenization of activities and a less noticeable difference among financial institutions caused the financial safety net to expand to non-bank financial institutions in order to maintain financial stability. The aim of this paper is to consider the justification and implications of such an expansion. Considering the fact that financial safety net „expansion“ stimulates riskier behaviour of protected institutions, this paper offers suggestions for dealing with this problem in order to reduce it as much as possible.

Assertiveness is the aspect of social competencies which is related to social adaptation, academic and professional achievement and social status but also to the problems of loneliness, anxiety and depressiveness. Since assertiveness and absence of depressive tendencies are important issues in professional competencies of teachers, pre-school teachers, medical doctors and medical technicians, this research was aimed at examining assertiveness and the presence of depressive personality traits in the students of the mentioned orientations. The total sample consisted of 521 subjects (162 students of the Faculty of Education of the UKG, 163 students Faculty of Teacher Education in Užice, 98 students of the Medical College in Ćuprija, 72 students of the Faculty of Medicine science in Kragujevac and 53 students Faculty of Medicine in Belgrade). Assertiveness was measured using the Scale for the assessment of assertiveness (A Scale) by Tovilović and associates, while depressiveness was examined by the Scale for the assessment of depressive personality (DP Scale) by Novović and associates. The results show that the highest percentage of students belongs to the category of average assertiveness and moderate depressiveness. No significant difference was found between the students of medical orientation and students of pedagogical orientation in relation to assertiveness (p=.498) and depressiveness (p=.159). A statistically significant low intensity negative correlation (r= -.287, p=.000) was found between the achievements of students on the assertiveness scale and the depressive personality scale. Despite the fact that the obtained results are encouraging, the percentage of students, prospective teachers and pre-school teachers as well as medical workers, with low and extremely low assertiveness as well as with prominent depressiveness, indicates the necessity for a planned activity towards the development of assertiveness during university studies and the implementation of prevention programs for the protection of mental health of young people during university studies.

Published: April 2018

Objective: The exact treatment indications and optimal management
strategies of patients with intracranial unruptured aneurysms remain
controversial. Material-Method: In this study we present our results
and clinical outcomes in a single center of patients with unruptured aneurysms
treated with different endovascular techniques. Between April 2008 and October
2014, 106 unruptured aneurysms in 100 consecutive patients were treated with
different endovascular techniques in our center. There were 35 male and 65
female patients with a median 53.2 years (range, 15-76 years). Endovascular
primary coiling, coiling with balloon remodeling, stent assisted coiling,
flow-diversion, intrasaccular flow-diversion or parent artery occlusion were
performed according to location, type, complexity and size of the related
unruptured aneurysms. Results: At 6 months follow-up, complete occlusion was achieved in
101 aneurysms (100%) and near-complete occlusion in 5 aneurysms (90%-100%).
Four patients had procedure-related complications including thromboembolism in
2 patients and aneurysm perforation during the procedure in 2 patients.  Follow-up imaging was performed with
angiography in 61 patients, with CT angiography in 16 and with MR angiography
in 23. Our median surveillance time was 10.05 months (6-50 months). Conclusion: Endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms
seems to be a safe method in selected patients according to risk-benefit
analysis.

Published: April 2018

Introducción: La infección por Strongyloides stercoralis constituye una de las enfermedades tropicales desatendidas en áreas endémicas como Perú, con una frecuencia global de 6,6%. Se puede diferenciar cuatro síndromes clínicos: agudo (SA), crónico (SC), hiperinfección (SH) y estrongiloidiasis diseminada (ED).Objetivo: Describir las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de los pacientes con diagnóstico de estrongiloidiasis.Material y métodos: Se estudió en forma retrospectiva 27 casos de pacientes con estrongioloidiasis atendidos en los meses de julio del 2014 a agosto del 2015 en el Hospital Regional Lambayeque, Perú.Resultados: Los pacientes tuvieron una mediana de edad de 41 años (rango intercuartílico: 2 a 84) y 74% (20/27) fueron varones. Se encontraron 10 casos (37,04%) de SC y 10 casos (37,04%) de SH. Del total, 63% presentaron eosinofilia, 85,2% anemia y 85,1% diarrea; 59,3% tuvo algún tipo de inmunocompromiso y 18,5% fallecieron.Conclusiones: La mayoría de pacientes con estrongiloidiasis de este estudio presentaron SC y SH, eosinofilia, anemia y algún tipo de inmunocompromiso. Asímismo, la alta frecuencia de estrongiloidiasis severa en pacientes con inmunocompromiso revela la necesidad de un tamizaje coproparasitológico con métodos específicos (Baerman y cultivo en agar) con el fin de detectar y tratar a tiempo la infección crónica previa.

Compliance and corporate anti-money laundering regulation
Authors: Pavone Pietro , Parisi Francesco
Published: April 2018

This paper, having traced the evolution of anti-money laundering legislation, defines and frames money laundering and terrorism financing risk inside corporate dynamics. Principles that must inspire corporate actions on the construction of an adequate managing structure to contain risks are set out, considering the fact that there is no risk that this does not have an economical content. This is even truer in the presented case, given that the Italian legislation to counter money laundering is focused on the innovative and modern risk-based approach, which has to guide the organization and functioning of corporations. Possible configuration of corporate anti-money laundering supervisions is therefore analyzed, with the aim of underlining the present connection between anti-money laundering legislation and rules referring to the government and to the internal control system. The present study originates from the interpretation of the new Italian anti-money laundering law. In particular, the first consideration that derives is that the new law does not impose precise obligations in terms of corporate anti-money laundering structure, but a large area of autonomy is left to the will of each company.

We studied the effects of whey and pumpkin seed oil supplementation on the biochemical parameters in blood serum of male rats after chronic ad libitum alcohol consumption. The levels of AST, ALT, total bilirubin, ALP, LDH, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, triglyceride/HDL ratio, total cholesterol/HDL ratio (cholesterol ratio) and LDL/HDL ratio (index of atherosclerosis) were determined in rats after six weeks of treatment with: (i) ethanol (12% ethanol, ad libitum), (ii) whey (2 g/kg per day), (iii) pumpkin seed oil (2 mL/kg per day), (iv) both ethanol and whey, and (v) both ethanol and pumpkin seed oil. The results showed no changes in the levels of AST, ALT, total bilirubin, ALP, total cholesterol, HDL and VLDL in alcoholic rats when compared to the controls (fed with a standard laboratory diet ad libitum) and rats supplemented with whey and pumpkin seed oil. Our results suggest that alcohol consumption in small doses for 6 weeks changes lipid metabolism and significantly elevates the LDL/HDL ratio (index of atherosclerosis) but does not induce extensive liver damage. Ethanol consumption in our experimental conditions lowered the triglyceride level as well as the triglyceride/HDL ratio, suggesting lipid redistribution and the induction of some cardio-protective effect. However, ethanol induced a higher index of atherosclerosis. Pumpkin seed oil showed some protective potential in alcoholic rats by lowering the total cholesterol/HDL ratio, but it elevated the LDH. Whey consumption prevented elevation of the atherosclerosis index, pointing to its protective role, probably through the redistribution of lipids. However, whey in combination with ethanol elevated LDH.
Generalized interval neutrosophic rough sets and its application in multi-attribute decision making
Authors: Yang Hai-Long , Bao Yan-Ling , Guo Zhi-Lian
Published: April 2018

Neutrosophic set (NS) was originally proposed by Smarandache to handle
indeterminate and inconsistent information. It is a generalization of fuzzy
sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Wang and Smarandache proposed interval
neutrosophic sets (INS) which is a special case of NSs and would be
extensively applied to resolve practical issues. In this paper, we put
forward generalized interval neutrosophic rough sets based on interval
neutrosophic relations by combining interval neutrosophic sets with rough
sets. We explore the hybrid model through constructive approach as well as
axiomatic approach. On one hand, we define generalized interval neutrosophic
lower and upper approximation operators through constructive approach.
Moreover, we investigate the relevance between generalized interval
neutrosophic lower (upper) approximation operators and particular interval
neutrosophic relations. On the other hand, we study axiomatic
characterizations of generalized interval neutrosophic approximation
operators, and also show that different axiom sets of theoretical interval
neutrosophic operators make sure the existence of different classes of INRs
that yield the same interval neutrosophic approximation operators. Finally,
we introduce generalized interval neutrosophic rough sets on two universes
and a universal algorithm of multi-attribute decision making based on
generalized interval neutrosophic rough sets on two universes. Besides, an
example is given to demonstrate the validity of the new rough set model.

Published: April 2018

The aim of the current paper is introducing a generalization of Darbo?s fixed
point theorem based on SR-functions. In comparison with simulation
function, SR-functions are able to cover the Meir-Keeler functions. Thus,
the integral equations which are related to L-functions can be solved by
our results. In the sequel, we find a solution for an integral equation to
support our results.
EP elements and *-strongly regular rings
Authors: Yao Hua , Wei Junchao
Published: April 2018

Let R be a ring with involution *. An element a 2 R is called *-strongly
regular if there exists a projection p of R such that p ? comm2(a), ap = 0
and a + p is invertible, and R is said to be *-strongly regular if every
element of R is *-strongly regular. We discuss the relations among strongly
regular rings, *-strongly regular rings, regular rings and *-regular
rings. Also, we show that an element a of a *-ring R is *-strongly regular
if and only if a is EP. We finally give some characterizations of EP
elements.
More on inverse degree and topological indices of graphs
Authors: Elumalai Suresh , Hosamani Sunilkumar , Mansour Toufik , Rostami Mohammad
Published: April 2018

The inverse degree of a graph G with no isolated vertices is defined as the
sum of reciprocal of vertex degrees of the graph G. In this paper, we obtain
several lower and upper bounds on inverse degree ID(G). Moreover, using
computational results, we prove our upper bound is strong and has the
smallest deviation from the inverse degree ID(G). Next, we compare inverse
degree ID(G) with topological indices (Randic index R(G),
geometric-arithmetic index GA(G)) for chemical trees and also we determine
the n-vertex chemical trees with the minimum, the second and the third
minimum, as well as the second and the third maximum of ID - R. In
addition, we correct the second and third minimum Randic index chemical

On T-slant, N-slant and B-slant helices in pseudo-Galilean space G13
Authors: Öztürk Ufuk , Nesovic Emilija , Koç Öztürk
Published: April 2018

In this paper, we introduce T-slant, N-slant and B-slant helices in the
pseudo-Galilean space G13 and define an angle between the spacelike and the
timelike isotropic vector lying in the pseudo-Euclidean plane x = 0. In
particular, we obtain the explicit parameter equations of the T-slant
helices and prove that there are no N-slant and B-slant helices in G13. We
also prove that there are no Darboux helices in the same space.
Growth of solutions of second order complex linear differential equations with entire coefficients
Authors: Long Jianren
Published: April 2018

Some new conditions on the entire coefficients A(z) and B(z), which guarantee
every nontrivial solution of f''+A(z) f'+B(z) f = 0 is of infinite
order, are given in this paper. Two classes of entire functions are involved
in these conditions, the one is entire functions having Fabry gaps, the
another is function extremal for Yang?s inequality. Moreover, a kind of
entire function having finite Borel exception value is considered.

The lower and upper solution method for three-point boundary value problems with integral boundary conditions on a half-line
Authors: Akcan Ummahan , Çetin Erbil
Published: April 2018

This paper deal with the following second-order three-point boundary value
problem with integral boundary condition on a half-line u''(x) + q(x) f(x,
u(x), u'(x)) = 0, x ? (0,+?), u(0) = ? ??0 u(s)ds, u'(+1)=C, where ? >
0, 0 < ?? < 1 and f : [0,+?)x R2 ? R satisfies a Nagumo?s condition which
plays an important role in the nonlinear term depend on the first-order
derivative explicitly. By using Schauder?s fixed point theorem, the upper
and lower solution method and topological degree theory, first we give
sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one solution and next at
least three solutions of the above problem. Moreover, an example is included
to demonstrate the efficiency of the main results.
Morning Hyperinsulinemia Primes the Liver for Glucose Uptake and Glycogen Storage Later in the Day
Authors: Moore Mary Courtney , Smith Marta S. , Farmer Ben , Coate Katie C. , Kraft Guillaume , Shiota Masakazu , Williams Phillip E. , Cherrington Alan D.
Published: April 2018

We observed that a 4-h morning (AM) duodenal infusion of glucose versus saline doubled hepatic glucose uptake (HGU) and storage during a hyperinsulinemic–hyperglycemic (HIHG) clamp that afternoon (PM). To separate the effects of AM hyperglycemia versus AM hyperinsulinemia on the PM response, we used hepatic balance and tracer ([3-3H]glucose) techniques in conscious dogs. From 0 to 240 min, dogs underwent a euinsulinemic-hyperglycemic (GLC; n = 7) or hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic (INS; n = 8) clamp. Tracer equilibration and basal sampling occurred from 240 to 360 min, followed by an HIHG clamp (360–600 min; four times basal insulin, two times basal glycemia) with portal glucose infusion (4 mg ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ min−1). In the HIHG clamp, HGU (5.8 ± 0.9 vs. 3.3 ± 0.3 mg ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ min−1) and net glycogen storage (6.0 ± 0.8 vs. 2.9 ± 0.5 mg ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ min−1) were approximately twofold greater in INS than in GLC. PM hepatic glycogen content (1.9 ± 0.2 vs. 1.3 ± 0.2 g/kg body weight) and glycogen synthase (GS) activity were also greater in INS versus GLC, whereas glycogen phosphorylase (GP) activity was reduced. Thus AM hyperinsulinemia, but not AM hyperglycemia, enhanced the HGU response to a PM HIHG clamp by augmenting GS and reducing GP activity. AM hyperinsulinemia can prime the liver to extract and store glucose more effectively during subsequent same-day meals, potentially providing a tool to improve glucose control.

The Transformation of Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk
Authors: Purwoko Oki Edi
Published: April 2018

Two main Things is analyzed in this study, The first is the view of the trilogy, when its exotication much symbolized by Srintil and Dukuh Paruk was viewed in complex, divine and yet paradoxal object. This analysis was coming from the study of the genre which flourished in Indonesian literary on 70â€™s and 80â€™s, also from the political sociological perspectives when rapid development triumphed the rational masculinity over irrational superstitious during 1980â€™s New order era.The second is the view of the trilogy when it was filmed in 2011 entitled Sang Penari. To be a more suitable with audience, the exotication including the life of Ronggeng is made to be a more pop icon than its complexity. The study was using the the arguments of orientalism and using the illustration of mainstream pop culture audience in Indonesia after the reformation era in 1998. The broader objectives of the study, is to give a deeper understanding to many pop culture artifacts in Indonesia, in terms of formation, pattern and type of communication. This study is more in interpretive path comparing several books and writings.
Dakwah di Era Digital
Authors: Budiantoro Wahyu
Published: April 2018

These days dakwah is not only interpreted as transformation of a pure religious value, but also transformation of a more relevant value including many aspects in digital era. Digital era is when society succumbed into the flow of information causing cultural shock and difficulties on synthesizing meaning from those scattered information. Dakwah on Digital age must accommodate societal needs which tend to move into a mass society. It results in strategy and more humane and innovative dakwah methods. One of innovative dakwah methods is conducted dakwah activities through digital media,with the consequences of this is that daâ€™i must developed soft skill and technological capabilities. Another beneficial comes from this is that dakwah could become more modern and practical in terms of methods and material. On the other hand, citizen Journalism as a mass cultural product and the results of technological development, gives an opportunity for daâ€™i to able to record the entire activities, including the dynamics of islamic life. In terms of learning curriculum, dakwah in digital format must be included, so then the intellectual and cultural spirit which flourished in pesantren could be adapted and competed in a global world.
Exploring the impact of the ‘new’ ParticipACTION: overview and introduction of the special issue
Authors: Faulkner Guy , Yun Lira , Tremblay Mark S. , Spence John C.
Published: April 2018

ParticipACTION is the Canadian physical activity communications and social marketing
organization first launched in the fall of 1971 and then ceased operations in 2001.
ParticipACTION was relaunched in 2007. Framed as a public health natural experiment, evidence was collected from a population-based
survey of knowledge, awareness, understanding of physical activity, and physical
activity levels among Canadians (individual level), and key informant surveys and interviews
examining capacity, readiness and advocacy for physical activity promotion
among physical activity organizations (organizational level). The purpose of this paper is to first provide an overview of some of the major initiatives
undertaken by the ‘new’ ParticipACTION that may have contributed to any changes at
these individual or organizational levels. Second, the paper sets the stage for the three
empirical papers in this special series reporting follow-up results.
Étude qualitative sur les perceptions à propos de la capacité des
organisations à promouvoir l’activité physique au Canada et à
propos de l’influence de ParticipACTION cinq ans après sa relance
Authors: Ramanathan Subha , Faulkner Guy , Berry Tanya , Deshpande Sameer , Latimer-Cheung Amy E.Latimer-Cheung , Rhodes Ryan E. , Spence John C. , Tremblay Mark S.
Published: April 2018

Introduction

ParticipACTION est un organisme canadien de communication et de marketing
social faisant la promotion de l’activité physique qui a été relancé en 2007. Notre
étude visait à évaluer de manière qualitative le pouvoir d’action des organisations canadiennes
en matière de promotion de l’activité physique ainsi que l’influence de ParticipACTION
sur ce pouvoir cinq ans après sa relance.

Méthodologie

Des entrevues téléphoniques semi-structurées ont été réalisées auprès de
44 informateurs clés sélectionnés par échantillonnage dirigé. Les informateurs étaient
représentatifs d’organismes nationaux, provinciaux et locaux ayant un mandat en matière
de promotion de l’activité physique. Les données tirées des entrevues ont été analysées
par thèmes.

Résultats

Depuis la relance de ParticipACTION, le pouvoir d’action en matière de partenariats
et de collaborations ainsi que le climat général dans le domaine de la promotion
de l’activité physique se sont améliorés. Bien que diverses contraintes financières aient
réduit la capacité des organisations à remplir leur mandat, leur impact a été atténué par
des facteurs internes comme la présence d’employés compétents et les partenariats ainsi
que par des facteurs externes comme les progrès technologiques dans les communications
et les échanges d’information. Les avis étaient mitigés en ce qui concerne la contribution
de ParticipACTION à l’amélioration de ce pouvoir d’action. Bien que ParticipACTION
ait attiré l’attention sur l’inactivité, sa contribution a surtout été perçue comme complémentaire
aux activités déjà en place. Certains organismes ont considéré que la relance de
ParticipACTION avait accru la compétition pour le financement et l’accès aux médias
populaires, tandis que d’autres étaient d’avis qu’il s’agissait d’une opportunité d’établir
des partenariats officiels pour des campagnes de marketing social et de tirer parti des
réalisations et de la réputation de ParticipACTION.

Conclusion

Selon les participants, le pouvoir d’action des organisations en matière de
promotion de l’activité physique au Canada a augmenté depuis 2007 de façon subtile
mais significative, en raison d’un climat favorable à la promotion de l’activité physique,
de la présence d’employés compétents et des technologies d’échange d’information. La
contribution de ParticipACTION à l’amélioration de ce pouvoir a été jugée faible.
El inicio de una nueva etapa en la comunicación política argentina: el primer debate presidencial televisado
Authors: Acosta Marina , Campolongo Carlos
Published: April 2018

En 2015, por primera vez en la Argentina hubo un debate presidencial imperfecto (faltó uno de los principales candidatos) y, finalmente, otro “frente a frente” que reunió a los dos que quedaron seleccionados para el balotaje. Mauricio Macri y Daniel Scioli abrieron una práctica ausente en la democracia argentina, aunque institucionalizada en otros países del mundo. Presentamos algunas características destacadas de ese acontecimiento fundante para la comunicación política argentina. Para construir los datos del análisis utilizamos fuentes secundarias y primarias, entre las cuales destacamos las entrevistas en profundidad que hemos realizado a organizadores del evento y a asesores que participaron en los equipos de campaña de los candidatos. Para contextualizar la problemática recurrimos al marco teórico que ofrece la comunicación política.
