O EFEITO DO GASTO PÚBLICO NA QUALIDADE DA EDUCAÇÃO FUNDAMENTAL NAS CAPITAIS BRASILEIRAS: UM ESTUDO BASEADO NO INDICADOR DE QUALIDADE EDUCACIONAL RESPONSÁVEL (IQER-2006/2013
Authors: E Souza Mirtes Carlos da Mota , Bezerra Filho João Eudes 
Published: December 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os efeitos do gasto público na qualidade da educação do ensino fundamental municipal nas capitais brasileiras. Criou-se o Indicador de Qualidade Educacional Responsável (IQER) para fins de utilização como variável dependente, apurado no período 2006 a 2013, das capitais brasileiras. Como variável independente, adotaram-se os gastos médios por aluno da rede de ensino fundamental no período considerado. Para variáveis de controle, utilizou-se o PIB municipal per capita, o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH), a porcentagem da população com 18 anos, ou mais, com ensino médio completo e Índice Receita Própria. Verificou-se que o aumento do gasto em educação pelas capitais brasileiras provoca uma redução no IQER, o que demonstra a ineficiência na aplicação do gasto. O IDH se mostrou como a melhor variável explicativa para os efeitos positivos no IQER. A pesquisa contribui oferecendo um indicador que possibilita observar uma outra forma de mensurar a qualidade da educação por níveis de fatores, respeitando a cadência do ensino fundamental. Somando-se à nota do IDEB (Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica) o IQER pode ser utilizado como direcionador de alocação de recursos e de monitoramento das metas propostas pelo PNE.
TEORIA DA AGÊNCIA, STEWARDSHIP E STAKEHOLDERS: UM ENSAIO SOBRE SUA RELEVÂNCIA NO CONTEXTO DAS ORGANIZAÇÕES
Authors: Silva Susana Sales , Costa Raquel Sales 
Published: December 2020

Este ensaio analisa comparativamente as principais teorias que norteiam as questões de Governança Corporativa: Teoria da Agência, Teoria do Stewardship e Teoria dos Stakeholders. Com base em estudos clássicos e recentes são apresentadas as origens, conceitos e contrapontos de cada uma delas. A teoria do stewardship confronta os pressupostos individualistas do modelo de ser humano apresentado pela teoria da agência, à medida que busca explorar complexidade de pensamentos e ações do indivíduo. Já a teoria dos stakeholders questiona um dos princípios já consolidados pela problemática da agência, que assume como propósito final da companhia a maximização dos retornos dos shareholders. A teoria da agência é a principal vertente teórica utilizada em estudos do campo. Entretanto, observa-se a crescente tendência de estudos multi teóricos, dada a possível complementaridade dessas teorias. Esse ensaio ainda se posiciona criticamente quanto a aplicabilidade da teoria do stewardship e stakeholders na realidade das organizações.

Invited Lecture: Notions of 'Theory' and their Practical Consequences in the Discipline of Software 'Engineering' (including Information Systems Design)
Authors: Gruner Stefan 
Published: December 2020

This contribution provides the full text to the invited lecture which I gave at the Annual Seminar of the Southern African Chapter of the Association for Information Systems (AISSAC), September the 14th, 2020. In this contribution, which thoroughly elaborates some of my earlier thoughts on this topic, I argue science-philosophically that the quest for a so-called 'general theory of software engineering' (GTSE) is, all-in-all, not feasible. More positively I also argue that software 'engineering' (which includes information systems design) might well become a 'proper' engineering discipline via the development and appropriate application of a multitude of domain-specific micro theories, by which successful engineering disciplines are typically characterized. Since different meta-theoretical opinions can be found even about what is a 'micro theory', I also explicate which definition of the notion of 'micro theory' is most appropriate in (and for) this particular domain of discourse.

Authors: Gashaw Getachew , Getu Abebe 
Published: December 2020

Background: Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus florida were found to be an edible mushroom which have gained worldwide recognition and increasing popularity owing to their nutritional and medicinal values that can be cultivated on different agricultural wastes like Coffee straw, Pea straw, Sorghum Grain Residue, banana leaves, caw dung and Wheat Grain. The current study was aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of Pleurotus species grown on different agricultural wastes and its nutritional purposeMethods: Antifungal activity was carried out against three human pathogenic microorganism Trichophyton rubrum, Epidermophyton floccosum and Microsporum gypseum by using disc diffusion method. Result: Methanolic extract of Pleurotus florida gave strong antifungal activity against Trichophyton rubrum (12.8mm) and Epidermophyton floccosum (11.9mm) when compared to Pleurotus ostreatus. The results suggested that Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus florida cultivated on coffee straw and sorghum grain substrate were found with highest antifungal activity in comparison to other substrates. The results supported the methanolic extracts of Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus florida might indeed be potential sources of antifungal agents.

Abstract
Background: Diabetic neuropathy is the most common complication of diabetes, the effective control of which requires accurate diagnosis of neuropathy on a regular basis. The present study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the event time of neuropathy using the Clayton copula model in type 2 diabetic patients in the presence of a surrogate response variable. Methods: The data of all the people whose diabetes test results were negative in the 2006 screening by the health centers in Fereydun Shahr, Isfahan, but their diabetes re-tests were positive in 2007, and were at least 30 years of age were collected, and their neuropathy status was followed up for at least 10 years. To investigate the factors affecting the event time of neuropathy in the patients, the Clayton copula model as well as the true variable, ten-point monofilament test and surrogate variable, and Michigan questionnaire including interviews and examinations by a trained physician were used. All the statistical analyzes were performed using the R software (version 3.6.2) and tests were done with an error of 0.05. Results: Of the total of 371 diabetic patients studied, 114 (30.7%) were male and their mean age was 63.93 (±0.568) years. According to the Clayton copula model, the individuals with a family history of diabetes and Hemoglobin A1c of >=8.1, BMI of >=35, HDL of <54, and under treatment with oral and insulin injections would develop neuropathy more quickly. Conclusion: In this study, using the survival ROC curve, was shown that the Copula model was more efficient than the surrogate model, so it is suggested that the Copula model be used to predict the occurrence of neuropathy for patients who do not have access to the monofilament test.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
The aim of this study was to define the location of the parietal foramina (PF) with reference to skull landmarks and correlate the PF with cerebral and vascular structures to optimize neurosurgical procedures in the intracranial compartment. Two hundred and thirty-eight parietal bones studied by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 119 patients were reviewed. The cephalometric points, inion, bregma, sagittal suture and lambda were used as anatomical references to locate the PF and define its anatomical relationships to parenchymal cerebral structures, especially some eloquent areas. The PF was identified in the MRI in 83 of the 119 individuals (69.7%) and was located at an average distance of 9.5 ± 0.8 cm (mean ± SD) posteriorly and 0.9 ± 0.3cm laterally to the Bregma. In over 90% of cases, the PF was located within a 2 cm radius of the bregma-PF distance’s mean value. Surgeons operating in the parietal region should be aware of the frequency of PF (69.7%), its location (superolateral to lambda) and its stable relationship with underlying anatomical structures. 88% of the 62 left PF’s were situated within 1cm, laterally to the left margin of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS). 60% of the right PF were situated within 1.3 cm laterally from the right margin of the SSS, while 40% were directly above the SSS. We propose that the PF should be used as the reference for the superior sagittal sinus during its course through the parietal lobe, as its constancy overtakes other commonly used landmarks (sagittal suture and midline). In conclusion, clinicians should be aware of the PF to both avoid iatrogenic injury to an emissary vein that courses through it that can lead to air embolism and as a guide to maneuvering through the parietal region.
The Evaluation of Maritime Search and Rescue Ability by Using Virtual Probability Circle Based on GIS

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Geographic information system (GIS) is widely used to solve the problems about spatial decision making and strategy planning. However, the potential application in maritime search and rescue (SAR) strategic planning still needs to be opened up. With the theory of accessibility, a new evaluating model of maritime SAR ability was proposed to assess the efficacy of the SAR unit serving a certain sea area by using a key indicator named virtual probability circle (VPC) which stand for the extent of how difficult or how long the SAR vessels reaching the accidental site. In this article, an application to the South China Sea area is shown. Comparing with the SAR abilities before and after new bases settled, the results indicate that the model provides good opportunities for improving maritime management.

Abstract
Flesh-flies are important mechanical vectors that cause myiasis in man and animals and they also play an important role in forensic entomology. Postmortem interval can be estimated using data available in the literature on the biology of the species. This study aims to elucidate the bionomics of these two species in order to provide preliminary data for medical, veterinary and forensic entomology analyses. We analyzed the larval stage durations (L1–L3), weight of the mature larvae (L3), L1-pupae stage duration, L3-pupae stage duration, pupal stage duration, L1–adult duration, adult emergence, atrophies and the viability of larvae and adults. The mean duration of the L1–adult of Peckia anguilla was 22.6 days and 21.8 days, in the first and second experiments. Mean lifespan for females and males was 75 and 69.6 days, respectively. The mean duration of the L1–adult of Peckia collusor was 25.9 days and 23.8 days, in the first and second experiments. Mean lifespan for females and males was 77.5 and 73.5 days, respectively. Although the two species presented similar results in relation to their post-embryonic development, P. collusor showed an adult lifespan longer, laying 1983 larvae throughout the experiment, while P. anguilla depositing 2298 larvae.

Abstract
Background: Oil crop varieties are currently subjected to an increasing worldwile demand and the tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.) attracts significant attention because of its huge capacity of lipids production. In eukaryotic cells, the balance between the accumulation of lipids and the distribution of certain pivotal molecules is fundamental for the regulation of many complex transcriptional regulatory networks. However, many studies have struggled to understand the dynamic of lipids and the transcriptomic mechanisms governing their biosynthesis and accumulation process during plant development. Results: Our results displayed dynamic patterns for key lipids like glycolipid, phospholipid, and glyceride during the development of tiger nut tubers. Lipidomic analysis showed molecular species distribution of lipid class during developing stages. Here, we also characterrized transcription profiles of key transcripts that determined biosynthesis and distribution of natural lipids in tiger nuts tuber. The expression of FAD2 exhibited a significant influence on the molecular composition of phosphatidylcholines (PC) and phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE) in tiger nuts. Moreover, during lipids accumulation, the expression pattern of three candidate transcripts of oleosin genes (OLE9, OLE10 and OLE11) also displayed significant leverage on the size of lipid drops. Conclusion: We described the significant alterations in the composition of lipids class during developing stages of tiger nut tuber, we also revealed transcriptional profiles of genes invloed in lipid biosynthesis and accumulation. These results provided new landscapes for research on lipid composition, synthesis and accumulation during different developmental stages of plant tubers.

Abstract
Background: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of the systemic inflammatory response, which is associated with tumor recurrence and progression. In this study, we evaluated the predictability of a modified Club Urológico Español de Tratamiento Oncológico (CUETO) scoring model and preoperative NLR in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Methods: From August 2005 to May 2016, a total of 281 patients received intravesical bacillus Calmette–Guérin therapy after transurethral resection of a bladder tumor. The pathologic stage of all patients was Ta or T1. Multivariate Cox regression analysis and Kaplan–Meier curves were used to evaluate the prognosis predictability of the CUETO risk model and NLR. Of 281 patients, 84 (29.9%) experienced recurrence and 14 (5.0%) developed progression. The mean follow-up period was 46 months. The cut-off value for NLRs was 2.29. Results: Of the study patients, 108 (38.4%) displayed a high NLR (> 2.29). In Kaplan–Meier curve analysis, a high NLR was associated with lower recurrence-free survival (RFS) (P < 0.001) and progression-free survival (PFS) (P = 0.002). CUETO scores were associated with RFS (P < 0.001), but not with PFS (P = 0.423). A combination of NLRs and the CUETO risk model correlated with RFS (P < 0.001) and PFS (P = 0.002). In multivariate analysis, female gender, concomitant carcinoma in situ (CIS), tumor number >3, recurrent tumors, and a high NLR were independent factors predicting recurrence (all P < 0.05). Concomitant CIS, recurrent tumors, and a high NLR were independent factors for predicting progression (all P < 0.05). Conclusion: In patients with NMIBC, an NLR >2.29 was identified as a significant factor for predicting tumor recurrence and progression. Inclusion of preoperative NLR enhanced the accuracy of the CUETO model to predict disease progression. We therefore recommend that patients with a high NLR receive more aggressive management.
