OS DESAFIOS DO PLANEJAMENTO DE PESSOAL EM NÍVEL GOVERNAMENTAL E O PORQUÊ DE O DFT NÃO SER A SOLUÇÃO MÁGICA
Authors: Santos Aleksandra Pereira 
Published: July 2020

Este ensaio tem como objetivo apresentar questões relevantes a respeito do Dimensionamento da Força de Trabalho (DFT) na Administração Pública Federal (APF). Para tanto, foi estruturado em três seções. A primeira expõe os conceitos sobre o tema e suas perspectivas de análise, destacando a relevância do Planejamento da Força de Trabalho (PFT) como estratégia ou diretriz governamental previamente à oferta e difusão dos modelos de DFT aos órgãos e às entidades da APF. Na segunda seção, apresenta-se uma síntese dos métodos de DFT sob ponto de vista estritamente organizacional, as recentes recomendações e diretrizes provenientes do Ministério da Economia (ME) e as indicações resultantes da convergência em literatura. Enfatiza-se que os modelos existentes possuem características prescritivas, oferecem variáveis relacionadas à mensuração de produtos ou entregas individuais e desconsideram características cognitivas do trabalho realizado em boa parte do setor público, tais como as atividades relativas à formulação e à implementação de políticas públicas. Por fim, propõe-se que os modelos prescritivos ou lineares sejam substituídos por modelos autóctones e previamente validados que considerem as características da organização – incluindo políticas, produtos ou serviços prestados à sociedade – e o nível de maturidade institucional para a adoção de novas técnicas e ferramentas de gestão. Afinal, são ferramentas e precisam conferir respostas mais rápidas aos anseios governamentais.

Published: July 2020

A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar a eficiência dos gastos em segurança efetivados pelos estados brasileiros e Distrito Federal no exercício 2017. Para tanto, foi utilizada a metodologia Análise Envoltória de Dados – DEA, orientada a resultados e com retornos variáveis de escala. Os resultados evidenciaram um nível baixo de eficiência, com valor médio de 65,6%, sendo apenas sete estados considerados eficientes. Além disso, restou demonstrada a associação negativa entre desempenho e aumento do investimento público. Das unidades eficientes, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte e São Paulo tiveram retornos constantes de escala, significando que estão laborando sem desperdícios. Quanto aos benchmarcks, São Paulo foi indicado como referência para todas as 20 DMU’s ineficientes. Conclui-se, portanto, que os estados brasileiros possuem, em regra, um considerável potencial de melhoria de resultados, sendo relevante repensar a alocação dos recursos disponíveis, inclusive, por meio da observação de práticas adotadas pelos benchmarcks respectivos.

Authors: Zuo Na-ying , Zhang Yuan-da , Dong Qing-wei , Han Li-po 
Published: July 2020

Objective: To investigate the relationship between myocardial enzymes, liver function and metabolic acidosis in children with rotavirus infection diarrhea.
Methods: The data of 70 children with infectious diarrhea treated in Baoding Children’s Hospital, China, from October 2017 to April 2018 were retrospectively studied. The antigen of rotavirus in feces was positive by colloidal gold method. According to the clinical features of biochemical indicators and mental status, the patients were divided into four groups, an acidosis-free group, a mild acidosis group, a moderate acidosis group and a severe acidosis group, in line with acidosis severity. In addition to detecting the hepatic functions of the pediatric patients in the four groups, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransfer (ALT) levels, and myocardial enzyme levels (e.g., creatine kinase, or CK, and creatine kinase isoenzyme, or CK-MB), the relationships of hepatic function, myocardial enzyme levels and acidosis severity of the patients with infectious diarrhea caused by rotavirus infection were also analyzed.
Results: There was no significant difference in sex and age among the four groups (P>0.05). However, there was a significant difference in the frequency of diarrhea and vomiting (p<0.05). In addition, there were significant differences in creatine kinase, CK-MB, AST and ALT levels in children with metabolic acidosis of different severities.
Conclusion: With the aggravation of metabolic acidosis, infectious diarrhea caused by rotavirus is characterized by the aggravation of hepatic function and myocardial cells.

Authors: Bangash Muhibullah , Aziz Wajahat , Shoaib Mohammad , Ather M. Hammad 
Published: July 2020

Objective: To validate an Urdu translation of premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT) by analyzing the association of this diagnostic tool with the clinical diagnosis of premature ejaculation (PE) and intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT).
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the urology section of the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, for six months duration, from July 2018 to December 2018. In our study 108 subjects, aged 20 to 50 years, who were in a stable sexual relationship (heterosexual) for a minimum duration of six months, were asked to fill the Urdu version of PEDT, 61 with PE and 47 without PE.
Results: The two groups matched for mean age, duration of relationship and education level. The duration of 1.2 (±0.5) minutes was the mean self-estimated IELT in the PE group and 3.7±0.9 minutes in patients without PE. There was a significant negative correlation of 0.6 (p-value <0.001) between the PEDT score and self-estimated IELT. The test-retest reliability for each item was found to be significant for each individual item (≥ 0.84, p-value <0.001) and 0.94 was the correlation coefﬁcients of the total score, showing an excellent test-retest reliability. 0.93 was the Cronbach’s alpha score (95% Confidence interval = 0.905 - 0.948) indicating a significant internal consistency in the Urdu version of PEDT.
Conclusions: The Urdu version of PEDT is a valid tool to define and quantify PE objectively, with adequate internal consistency. This version of PEDT has a good negative correlation with self-estimated IELT and excellent correlation with clinical PE.

Authors: Soomro Rufina , Ali Sobia 
Published: July 2020

Objectives: To assess the immediate effect of TEAM® on trauma related knowledge of undergraduate medical students and to highlight the stakeholders’ acceptability of TEAM® for trauma training of undergraduate medical students
Methods: Effectiveness of TEAM® course in terms of knowledge gain was assessed using 20-item-MCQs at three different timings to three cohorts of medical students from year 2017 (Group A), 2018 (Group B) and 2019 (Group C). Group A attempted the test after traditional teaching in wards, Group B attempted it after reading books and videos of TEAM®, along with traditional trauma teaching. Finally Group C attempted the test after TEAM® course along with videos and books. Students and faculty also filled evaluation questionnaire for their acceptability assessment. Kruskal-Wallis Test was applied for comparison between scores of the three groups. The evaluation questionnaire of students as well as for faculty was evaluated by determining frequencies and percentages.
Results: A statistically significant difference is found after comparing the scores of the three groups (p< 0.00). More than 85% of the students were of a view that this course would help in their future practice and application. Similarly, 80% of the faculty would prefer to be involved in TEAM® teaching in future.
Conclusion: There is an improvement in trauma cognitive knowledge, after the TEAM® program. Students and faculty strongly supported its introduction in the undergraduate curriculum and hence acceptable to both.

Calf lengthening may improve knee recurvatum in specific children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy
Authors: Bauer Jeremy , Do K. Patrick , Feng Jing , Aiona Michael 
Published: July 2020

Purpose Knee hyperextension in stance is a difficult condition to treat in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP). In children with passive knee hyperextension, the presence of contracture or spasticity of the calf leads to knee hyperextension in stance phase. We hypothesize surgical treatment of the contracture of the calf will lead to less knee hyperextension. Methods We performed a retrospective review of children who were evaluated in our movement laboratory over 23 years with a diagnosis of CP Gross Motor Function Classification System I, II or III. We selected children who had passive knee hyperextension on exam and who underwent calf lengthening surgery. Children were divided into two groups: early recurvatum (ER) (n = 20) and late recurvatum (LR) (n = 14). Results There was no difference in the preoperative passive knee extension among the groups or the surgeries performed. For children who had passive knee hyperextension, calf lengthening improved static dorsiflexion with knee flexion on clinical exam by 9.3° in the ER group, 9.6° in the LR group as well as dorsiflexion with knee extension on clinical exam by 9.5° in the ER group and 6.4° in the LR group. The kinematic data showed that the ER group improved their knee hyperextension by 11° (p < 0.001), whereas the LR group did not significantly change their stance phase knee position. Conclusion Children with passive knee hyperextension who have a calf contracture and walk in knee hyperextension in the first half of stance phase may improve after calf lengthening.

Published: July 2020

Aims CERAMENT|G is an absorbable gentamicin-loaded biocomposite used as an on-site vehicle of antimicrobials for the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the sole effect of CERAMENT|G, i.e. without additional systemic antimicrobial therapy, in relation to a limited or extensive debridement of osteomyelitis lesions in a porcine model. Methods Osteomyelitis was induced in nine pigs by inoculation of 104 colony-forming units (CFUs) of Staphylococcus aureus into a drill hole in the right tibia. After one week, the pigs were allocated into three groups. Group A (n = 3) received no treatment during the study period (19 days). Groups B (n = 3) and C (n = 3) received limited or extensive debridement seven days postinoculation, respectively, followed by injection of CERAMENT|G into the bone voids. The pigs were euthanized ten (Group C) and 12 (Group B) days after the intervention. Results All animals presented confirmatory signs of bone infection post-mortem. The estimated amount of inflammation was substantially greater in Groups A and B compared to Group C. In both Groups B and C, peptide nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization (PNA FISH) of CERAMENT|G and surrounding bone tissue revealed bacteria embedded in an opaque matrix, i.e. within biofilm. In addition, in Group C, the maximal measured post-mortem gentamicin concentrations in CERAMENT|G and surrounding bone tissue samples were 16.6 μg/ml and 6.2 μg/ml, respectively. Conclusion The present study demonstrates that CERAMENT|G cannot be used as a standalone alternative to extensive debridement or be used without the addition of systemic antimicrobials.

Published: July 2020

Nonlinear microresonators are very desired for a wide variety of applications. Up-conversion processes responsible for the transformation of IR laser radiation into visible are intensity-dependent and thus rather sensitive to all involved effects, which can mask each other. In this work we study the phenomena that are the most important for possible lasing in 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)-4 H-pyran dye spherical microresonators: the two-photon absorption and photobleaching. Based on the suggested model of the threshold-like dependence of the two-photon luminescence (TPL) on pump power, we demonstrate the role of intensity-dependent photobleaching in the appearance of the TPL and find a good agreement with the experiment. This finding is important for the analysis of lasing in nonlinear dye-based resonators.

Authors: Mulyono Asep , Arisbaya Ilham , Sudrajat Yayat 
Published: July 2020

Root zone geometry research is usually done in a conventional way which is destructive, time-consuming, and requires a considerable cost. Several non-destructive measurements used geophysical methods have been developed, one of which is the Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) method. Tree root zone determination using ERT has been carried out in Kiara Payung area, Sumedang, West Java, with Maesopsis eminii tree as the object study. A total of 29 ERT lines were measured using dipoledipole configuration with electrodes spacing of 50 cm. The results of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) inversion modeling show that the ERT method has been successfully imaging the tree root zone. The root zone is characterized as 100-700 Ωm with an elliptical shape geometry of the root plate. The root radius is estimated to be 4-5 m from the stem, the root zone diameter reaches 8-9 m at the shallow soil surface and the root zone depth is approximately 2-2.5 m.
