Metodologia de avaliação organizacional de universidades corporativas
Authors: Matos Clarissa Leite Braga e , Forte Sergio Henrique Arruda Cavalcante , Forte Sérgio Alexandre Barreira 
Published: February 2021

Purpose – In the available literature, we can find research on how to conduct an assessment of an organization’s Corporate Education, but not of the Corporate University. Therefore, in our research we propose a methodology to evaluate the organizational management of Corporate Universities.Design/methodology/approach – This research is descriptive and uses the multicriteria analysis method as basis. Specifically, we use the Multi-Attribute Global Inference of Quality (Magiq) methodology for the definition of weights, to measure the importance of factors and sub-factors that determine the organizational evaluation of Corporate Universities.Findings – The resulting methodology contemplates six factors and 18 sub-factors. The six factors in descending order of weights are: Strategic Management, Organizational Learning, Process, Performance, Institutional and Market.Research limitations/implications – The fact that our research is based on the knowledge of Brazilian experts, it infers the use of this methodology only for the case Brazil, which can be seen as a limitation of this research.Practical implications – The leaders of Corporate Universities will henceforth be able to mirror and look for greater performance to achieve their goals.Originality/value – Our research intends to contribute to reduce the gap either in theory and practice of how to evaluate Corporate Universities. From there, we hope to make possible to compare them, to create rankings and to establish awards, since the existing literature provides criteria on how to evaluate Corporate Education, but not Corporate Universities.

Published: February 2021

Purpose – The research aims to discuss substantive rationality in the context of Solidarity Economy (SE) and women's self-management practices in the Solidarity and Feminist Economy Network [SFEN], based on the voices of women themselves.Design/methodology/approach – The research uses an exploratory and qualitative, from the perspective of thematic oral history. It is a search for representativeness of other forms of organization through otherness and a post-colonial view of the Administration.Findings - The productive groups of women of the SFEN are configured as substantive organizations. Under the self-management paradigm, reveal an alternative way of producing and commercialization, bringing together the dimensions of work and life in order to allow the construction of an inclusive economy, which could be alignment with the enclave “isonomy” of Guerreiro Ramos.Research limitations/implications – As an exploratory study, it was not possible in this article go deepen the gender issue in the daily practice of women in the productive group.Practical implications – The use of the self-management paradigm in an inclusive economy situation presents these production groups with a real alternative to understanding themselves as active participants in the economy.Social implications - The study brings the reflection of the participants of the productive groups about their active position in society, generates a self-assessment of their activities, serving the analysis also as an opening for reassessments and reapplications of the self-knowledge process of such groups.Originality/value – There is a gap in management research discussing solidarity economy, self-management, feminist organizations and substantive organizations by Guerreiro Ramos.

Purpose – The purpose of this article is to analyze how the installation of these offices is in the eight municipalities with units of the 12th Military Fire Brigade (12º BBM).Design/methodology/approach – This study had an exploratory character. Data collection took place through structured interviews with a total of eight interviews carried out with the Secretaries of Administration of the prefectures, one for each municipality with units of the 12th Military Fire Brigade (12º BBM).Findings – It was observed that, despite the positive impact generated in local public security, only the municipality of Panambi has the GGIM in operation, however, it only conducts meetings of the Plenary, with partial installation, reducing the positive impact on public safety local. It became clear that municipalities ignore its importance for the promotion of local public safety by creating GGIMs only on paper.Research limitations/implications – Do not realize interviews with those responsible for the creation of the offices is a limiting factor of the research, as well as the short time of operation of the GGIM’s to carry out a comparative analysis of crime rates.Originality/value – It highlights the importance and potential of the Municipal Integrated Management Offices for the transformation of the local scenario, while providing a channel for dialogue between the actors involved and for the establishment of joint and planned solutions to the problems faced within the scope of Public Security.
Institutional permissiveness in the context of government-business relations
Authors: Sousa André Luiz Castro de , Rocha Robson Silva Soe , Abreu Mônica Cavalcanti Sá de 
Published: February 2021

Purpose - This article explores the extent to which business–government relations permeate socially irresponsible business activities. While existing theory provides traction in explaining the strength of the pressures to conform that emanate from the institutional environment, it does not adequately explain the conditions under which businesses might exercise discretion in choosing whether or not to conform to local standards of appropriateness and how local actors organize their responses accordingly. Methodology - The empirical evidence is based on an in-depth longitudinal case study developed in an industrial district of Fortaleza, Brazil. Data were collected from three sources, including semi-structured interviews. An inductive thematic analysis of narratives was conducted to investigate the interactions between the different institutional actors and their experiences of institutional change and renegotiation. Findings - It was found that the institutionalized forms of business–government relations are fundamentally permissive and personalized, being based on meeting specific and mutually opportunistic demands. We show that institutional permissiveness can make it possible for large firms to dominate an industrial area and force the government to reduce law enforcement. We demonstrate the historical evolution of forms of the appropriation of space and natural resources. Originality - Our theoretical contribution is to the concept of institutional permissiveness. Unlike other institutional streams, we argue that the concept of the institutional void is inadequate to the task of understanding business–government relations in emerging markets. We show how an institutional configuration can emerge that sustains the power relations and resource appropriations that reproduce social relations distinct from those found in the Anglo-American institutional environment, which does not configure institutional voids.

In the financial field, we are often faced with data that are somewhat non-linear. Thus, this research investigates the asymmetric behavior of the series through the Threshold Autoregressive and Momentum Threshold asymmetry tests between price index using diary data between of the total price index of actions in stock markets of United States of America (SP500) and Hong Kong (HANG SENG), from January 2, 1995 to March 29, 2013. With the empirical analysis it was possible to see the asymmetry in the series analysed through the TAR and M-TAR models. These oscillations demonstrate that behaviors are distinct in contractions and expansions.

Nas operações de troca os agentes envolvidos são os produtores, as cooperativas e as empresas fornecedoras (Traders). As cooperativas atuam como intermediárias permitindo a aproximação entre os agentes e minimizando o risco de crédito. O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar um modelo de gerenciamento dos riscos dessas operações. Ele foi desenvolvido com base na literatura sobre protocolos de gerenciamento de riscos, resultando em um modelo híbrido que contempla a identificação, análise e possíveis estratégias de respostas aos riscos. O modelo foi aplicado em uma cooperativa agroindustrial e contemplou as perspectivas dos agentes envolvidos. Foi utilizada análise de conteúdo de entrevistas e documentos para identificação dos riscos. Também foi feita a análise dos riscos quanto à sua probabilidade de ocorrência e impacto, permitindo assim a criação de matrizes de riscos. Com isso, foi possível avaliar as estratégias de respostas aos riscos nas perspectivas do produtor, cooperativa e Trader. Os resultados contribuem para a disseminação da prática do gerenciamento de riscos em operações de troca no agronegócio.

Published: February 2021

Synthesis of conjugates of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) with chlortriazine reactive dyes (RD) has been developed. The obtained CNC-RD conjugates were characterized using a complex of modern methods: UV-Vis, IR and 13C solid state NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and elemental analysis, particle size and zeta potential analysis, scanning electron and polarization optical microscopy. IR spectra of CNC-RD films show absorption bands typical of cellulose. The formation of a covalent cellulose-dye bond is confirmed by the presence of characteristic absorption bands of the resulting ether bond in the region of 1000-1300 cm-1. Based on the analysis of solid-state 13C NMR spectra, it was concluded that the degree of crystallinity of the CNC-RD conjugates does not change compared to the CNC, i.e. the RD covalently bind to the surface of the CNC particles and do not affect the crystal structure of the CNC. Using a simple model of CNC with square cross-section, and based on the elemental analysis data, the amount of covalently bound dye on the surface of CNC particles was estimated. The results obtained allow us to conclude that covalent bound of RD occurs selectively at one of the ends of the cellulose nanocrystal (the so-called reducing end of the cellulose polymer chain). Successful CNC surface modification is confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy. It was found that aqueous suspensions of CNC-RD conjugates have indicator properties. The sizes and charges of the particles of CNC-RD conjugates in dilute aqueous suspensions were determined. High colloidal stability of the CNC-RD aqueous suspensions was confirmed. It has been shown that CNC-RD colloidal suspensions possess liquid crystalline properties, which is clearly demonstrated by their iridescent color in polarized light with stirring. CNC films modified with RD also possess birefringence properties and exhibit an iridescent color in polarized light. The morphology of CNC-RD particles was studied using scanning electron microscopy. The thermal stability of the CNC-RD conjugates was studied.
Praktikeres risikovurderinger: brugen af risikofaktorer i forebyggelsen af ungdomskriminalitet

AbstractSocial work practitioners support vulnerable children and youth who have problems or are at risk of developing problems. Increasingly, politicians and authorities are emphasizing the role of early crime prevention in social work and the role of risk factors in crime prevention.
However, there has not been a focus on how practitioners actually estimate the risk of a young person being apprehended as a first-time offender. We study practitioners’ risk assessments through three vignettes. The vignettes have been constructed using register- and survey-based research on the association between youth crime and a diversity of risk factors. The vignettes are thereby constructed to allow a comparison between the risk assessments of practitioners and the actual risk as demonstrated by the data. The study utilizes a sample of 312 health visitors, teachers (including nursery school teachers) and social workers.
The results indicate that practitioners grossly overestimate the risk of apprehension for first-time offences in all three vignettes. The average assessment of the risk is approximately 50 percentage points higher than the actual calculatedrisk. Furthermore, there is a large variation in the risk assessments given by different practitioners. Moreover, practitioners associate terms such as “high risk” with very different probabilities of crime.
L’anthropomorphisme des animaux dans les albums de littérature de jeunesse : état des lieux
Authors: Dionne Anne-Marie 
Published: February 2021

L’anthropomorphisme est un procédé courant en littérature de jeunesse. Cependant, le fait d’octroyer des traits humains aux animaux risque d’entraver les connaissances et le raisonnement biologique des enfants concernant le règne animal, c’est-à-dire leur capacité à faire la distinction entre les propriétés biologiques propres aux animaux et les propriétés biologiques se rapportant spécifiquement aux êtres humains. Par cette recherche, nous examinons comment l’anthropomorphisme se manifeste dans des albums de littérature de jeunesse de langue française publiés au Canada. Une analyse de contenu portant sur 197 albums, que nous avons sélectionnés à partir de ceux ayant été répertoriés par la revueLurelusur une période de cinq ans (2013-2018), nous a permis de recenser les animaux représentés dans cet échantillon d’albums et de déterminer leur niveau d’anthropomorphisme, manifesté par l’entremise des textes et des illustrations. La façon dont sont présentées les propriétés biologiques des animaux a également été prise en compte. Nos résultats démontrent qu’une part importante des albums analysés présente des animaux qui sont anthropomorphisés et que lorsque leurs propriétés biologiques sont démontrées, elles peuvent rarement induire un raisonnement biologique chez les enfants.

The Illumina Infinium® MethylationEPIC BeadChip system (hereafter EPIC array) is considered to be the current gold standard detection method for assessing DNA methylation at the genome-wide level. EPIC arrays are often used for hypothesis generation or pilot studies, the natural conclusion to which is to validate methylation candidates and expand these in a larger cohort, in a targeted manner. As such, an accurate smaller-scale, targeted technique, that generates data at the individual CpG level that is equivalent to the EPIC array, is needed. Here, we tested an alternative DNA methylation detection technique, known as bisulfite-based amplicon sequencing (BSAS), to determine its ability to validate CpG sites detected in EPIC array studies. BSAS was able to detect differential DNA methylation at CpG sites to a degree which correlates highly with the EPIC array system at some loci. However, BSAS correlated less well with EPIC array data in some instances, and most notably, when the magnitude of change via EPIC array was greater than 5%. Therefore, our data suggests that BSAS can be used to validate EPIC array data, but each locus must be compared on an individual basis, before being taken forward into large scale screening. Further, BSAS does offer advantages compared to the probe-based EPIC array; BSAS amplifies a region of the genome (∼500 bp) around a CpG of interest, allowing analyses of other CpGs in the region that may not be present on the EPIC array, aiding discovery of novel CpG sites and differentially methylated regions of interest. We conclude that BSAS offers a valid investigative tool for specific regions of the genome that are currently not contained on the array system.
Somatic determinants of changes in selected body posture parameters in younger school-age children
Authors: Labecka Marta Kinga , Górniak Krystyna , Lichota Małgorzata 
Published: February 2021

Background
The aim of this study was to describe changes in selected parameters of body posture in children between 5 and 9 years old with diversified somatic structures.

Methods
The study was carried out in 2015 and then repeated in 2018 among 67 participants who had previously been observed to have scoliotic posture. Basic body weight and height measurements were taken, which were then used to calculate the body mass index. Posture tests were conducted using the photogrammetric method.

Results
Girls and boys were not significantly different in body dimensions. With age, the number of overweight boys and children with normal growth-weight proportions increased. Temporary differences in posture variables indicating abnormalities were small.

Conclusions
There were no significant differences in somatic parameters between the girls and the boys. Those children with a slender body structure had the most abnormalities in the coronal plane. On the other hand, changes in spinal position in the sagittal plane were more frequent in overweight children. Relations were noted between the compensation index in the sagittal plane and deviation of the trunk inclination, the maximum deviation of the line of the spinous processes, and the angle of the shoulder line in the coronal plane and body mass index values were noted.

The main purposes of this research study was to determine the perception of farmers on maize as a potential crop for climate change adaptation and to access problems faced by the farmers in maize production. Maize cultivation is getting importance in Bangladesh, with economic efficiency of production estimated at 87%. Data were collected from the farmers of four villages of Biral Upazila under Dinajpur district in the Northern Bangladesh during 28 March to April 28 2018 from the 90 randomly sleeted farmers. Both descriptive and correlation coefficients test was performed for statistical analysis. Results revealed that almost three-fifths (61.10 percent) of the farmers had medium, while 20.00 percent of them had low and 18.90 percent had high perception of maize as a potential crop for climate change adaption. Correlation analysis indicated that age, education, cosmopoliteness, training received, knowledge on climate change and extension media contact of the farmers had significant positive relationships with their perception of maize as a potential crop for climate change adaption. On the contrary, farm size, maize cultivation area, farming experience and annual income had no significant relationship with their perception of maize as a potential crop for climate change adaption. ‘Non-availability of storage facilities’ was ranked as the 1st or top problems for maize production. Other problems (in descending order) included ‘getting fair price problem due to interfere of middleman’, ‘non-availability of farm labour’, ‘lack of /or inadequate access to weather forecast technologies’, ‘no hybrid maize seed availability, ‘non-habit of human for consumption as food’, ‘poor information access regarding climate change adaptation strategies by maize farmers’, ‘lack of inputs in time’, ‘non-suitability of land for maize cultivation’, as well as ‘poor agricultural extension service delivery’. Further, it might be recommended that necessary support should be provided for the maize growers to minimize their problems on prioritize basis.

Published: July 2002

AbstractA case report and review of the world literature are presented to examine all the reported cases of cervical carcinoma manifesting as pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis in order to better understand this rare condition. The clinical and pathologic features of this disease process are reviewed, as are potential treatment options. We present the first reported case of an immunocompromised patient with cervical carcinoma and pulmonary lymphangitic metastasis with a prospective diagnosis made by transbronchial biopsy. Given that this condition carries a uniformly fatal prognosis, unwanted therapy may result from a missed diagnosis. A prospective pathologic diagnosis by transbronchial biopsy may guide appropriate therapy in these patients.

AbstractObjective: To evaluate fetal fibronectin as a screening test for premature delivery in asymptomatic women with multiple pregnancies. Method: In the mid‐second trimester, the concentrations of fetal fibronectin in the cervical and vaginal secretions of 68 patients with multiple gestations were sampled weekly by monoclonal antibody immunoassay in order to predict preterm labor. Results: The results for the prediction of preterm labor differ according to whether we consider a single positive result (fetal fibronectin >50 ng/ml) as predictive of preterm labor or whether we only consider at least two consecutive positive results as predictive of preterm labor. The fetal fibronectin test had a sensitivity for preterm birth before 37 weeks of 90.9% and 86.6%, respectively, with a specificity of 68.5% vs. 78.9% and positive and negative values of 73.1% vs. 76.4% and 88.8% vs. 88.2%, respectively. Similar results were obtained for preterm birth before 34 weeks. Conclusion: In a condition such as multiple pregnancy which is already at risk for premature delivery the possibility of raising the specificity of the test with virtually no decrease in sensitivity guarantees better recognition of patients likely to develop premature labor. This possibility can be achieved simply by considering two positive consecutive samples as predictive of preterm labor.
