Не стригите всех под одну гребенку: коэволюция национальных систем оценки и публикаций в социальных науках
Authors: Хикс Диана 
Published: May 2016

В последние десятилетия руководство страны стремилось получить максимально подробную отчетность от исследователей, получающих финансирование из государственного бюджета. В этой ситуации университеты столкнулись с изменением режима финансирования: были введены национальные системы финансирования, основанные на оценке результатов исследований, а также системы финансирования, базой для которых стала оценка производительности научного труда. Университеты во многих странах мира сейчас сталкиваются с измерением и сравнением результатов их научной деятельности. Они оцениваются по единой системе, которая используется для всех областей знаний. Подобные системы созданы для удовлетворения потребностей самых престижных и самых сильных университетов и традиционно популярных и производительных областей знаний. Все остальные вынуждены адаптироваться, чтобы выполнять требования формального соответствия.

ORÇAMENTO PÚBLICO NO BRASIL: HISTÓRIA E PREMÊNCIA DE REFORMA -- PUBLIC BUDGET IN BRAZIL: HISTORY AND URGENT REFORM
Authors: Afonso José Roberto 
Published: June 2016

Resumo: O reconhecimento dos direitos fundamentais da cidadania depende em grande parte das aplicações de recursos públicos e isso passa pelo orçamento público. Em que pese historicamente ser essa considerada uma peça para a democracia e a demanda crescente da sociedade moderna por mais transparência nas coisas e contas dos governos, o orçamento (em seu sentido mais amplo) ainda é visto como uma espécie “caixa-preta” - só aberta por especialistas. Por isso, é importante conhecer, ainda que em termos básicos, a história da construção dessa institucionalidade no Brasil, o estado de situação do processo orçamentário e contábil no País e as propostas para uma reforma fiscal abrangente, cada vez mais necessária para se tentar superar a recessão assola a economia brasileira.Palavras-chave: Orçamento.

RESUMO O Marco Civil da Internet do Brasil é a primeira legislação do mundo a regular a internet de forma ampla e irrestrita; e respeita os princípios da internet complexa, aberta e sustentável. Define-se assim a problemática deste artigo: de que maneira a Ciência da Informação (CI) se insere no que preconiza o Marco Civil? Este estudo apresenta referencial teórico sobre o que preconiza o Marco Civil, relacionando-o com a CI, e então introduz dois exemplos de software livre que podem contribuir com a sua efetivação. Conclui que a CI não pode ficar alijada das discussões sobre o Marco, e sugere, para estudos futuros, investigações que reflitam sobre o design de ambientes digitais em que estão depositadas informações para acesso, e sua relação com o que reza o Marco Civil da Internet.Palavras-chave: Informação e Tecnologia; Web 2.0; AtoM; Archivematica; Design da Informação.ABSTRACT The Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet is the first legislation in the world to regulate the Internet broadly and non-restrictively; and it respects the principles of complex, sustainable, open Internet. The research problem of this article is: how is Information Science (IS) contemplated in the legal recommendations? This study presents a theoretical framework on what the Civil Rights Framework advocates, relating it to IS, and then presents two examples of open software that can contribute to its operationalization. The study concludes that IS cannot be excluded from the discussions on the Framework and suggests, for further studies, investigations that reflect on the design of digital environments in which information is deposited and its relation to the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet.Keywords: Information and Technology; Web 2.0; AtoM;Archivematica; Information Design.
Interdisciplinary Team-Teaching Experience For A Computer And Nuclear Energy Course For Electrical And Computer Engineering Students
Authors: Kim Charles , Jackson Deborah , Keiller Peter 
Published: June 2016

A new, interdisciplinary, team-taught course has been designed to educate students in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) so that they can respond to global and urgent issues concerning computer control systems in nuclear power plants. This paper discusses our experience and assessment of the interdisciplinary computer and nuclear energy course, which was developed and offered primarily to ECE students at Howard University. A unique team-teaching model utilized with ECE professors and nuclear field experts was applied to teach the two diverse subjects: computer safety and nuclear energy. The survey result from the first offering of the course showed a very positive response from the majority of the students about the team-teaching method and the knowledge acquired on the two subjects.
The Death Of High Performance Programs: Transferring Knowledge In The New Millennial
Authors: Donohue Mary E. 
Published: June 2016

The “Opportunity Gap” and the “Skills Gap” have been the focus of conferences this year. Solutions have been proposed, but none has aligned technology with the cultural capital that exists within an organization to close the gaps. Cultural capital is the accumulation of symbols, language, political knowledge and expertise that senior leaders use to get the job done daily within an organization. Emerging leaders who have not been immersed in this cultural capital, particularly diverse candidates, struggle to identify or find the resources and develop the skills necessary to succeed in an organization. Frequently training dollars are allocated to high-potential candidates who often are able to assimilate these skills quickly, but rarely if ever are they, when at the managerial level, tested on their ability to transfer these skills to others. This inability of high-potential mangers to transfer cultural capital between the different layers of an organization is a real cause of the skills and opportunity gap.In 2012, at a larger retailer in the southern US, we began testing a pilot program for a practical management training in the form of a Licensed Online Open Course (modeled after the MOOC) to determine if managers with access to a structured and disciplined curriculum could have an impact on human capital productivity and increase retention among managers and their followers. The LOOC and its content were created by the Donohue Mentoring System™ (DMS).We concluded that on-the-job training, using the DMS LOOC delivery and mentoring, fosters cultural capital, increased job motivation and satisfaction, and subsequently increased output (productivity) by 10%. Using a survey comprised of 19 questions, we were also able to determine that trust in superior officers increased by 10% and self-assessed value of work increased by 10%. These increases resulted in a reduced employee churn of 50%. As we carried on pilots in 2013, 2014 and 2015 with other large corporations, not for profit and a government, we were surprised to find that the system delivered the same noteworthy results each time. We found that when managers are presented with a technology solution that allows them to train candidates (mentees) and transfer knowledge to their mentees, leadership magic happens, and people engage with each other. What surprised us the most was that no matter the size of the pilot program, mentees for the most part surpassed their mentors’ knowledge pre-program.

Published: May 2016

A \(\Gamma\)-so-ring is a structure possessing a natural partial ordering, an infinitary partial addition and a ternary multiplication, subject to a set of axioms. The partial functions under disjoint-domain sums and functional composition is a \(\Gamma\)-so-ring. In this paper we introduce the notions of dense and annihilator ideals of \(\Gamma\)-so-rings and obtain the Green's relations in Partial \(\Gamma\) semirings.
Permuting tri-derivations in prime and semi-prime rings
Authors: Durna H. , OĞUZ S. 
Published: May 2016

Let \(R\) be a ring and \(U\neq0\) be a square closed Lie ideal of \(R\). A tri-additive permuting map \(D:R\times R\times R\rightarrow R\) is called permuting tri-derivation if, for any \(y,z\in R\), the map \(x\mapsto D(x,y,z)\) is a derivation. A mapping \(d:R\rightarrow R\) defined by \(d(x)=D(x,x,x)\) is called the trace of \(D\). In the present paper, we show that \(U\subseteq Z\) such that \(R\) is a prime and semi-prime ring admitting the trace $d$ satisfying the several conditions of permuting tri-derivation.
Group of closure isomorphisms of Cech closure spaces
Authors: T. Kavitha , P. Sini , T. Ramachandran P. 
Published: June 2016

Here we discuss some results on the group of all closure isomorphisms of a \u{C}ech closure space. A subgroup \(H\) of the symmetric group \(S(X)\) is \(c\) representable on $X$ if there exists a closure operator \(V\) on $X$ such that the group of closure isomorphisms of the closure space \((X,\ V)\) is \(H\). In this paper, we prove a non trivial normal subgroup of the symmetric group \(S(X)\) is \(c\)-representable on \(X\) if and only if the cardinality of \(X\) is three.
A comparison of minimally invasive posterior cervical decompression and open anterior cervical decompression and instrumented fusion in the surgical management of degenerative cervical myelopathy
Authors: Abbas Syed F. , Spurgas Morgan P. , Szewczyk Benjamin S. , Yim Benjamin , Ata Ashar , German John W. 
Published: June 2016

OBJECTIVE
Minimally invasive posterior cervical decompression (miPCD) has been described in several case series with promising preliminary results. The object of the current study was to compare the clinical outcomes between patients undergoing miPCD with anterior cervical discectomy and instrumented fusion (ACDFi).

METHODS
A retrospective study of 74 patients undergoing surgery (45 using miPCD and 29 using ACDFi) for myelopathy was performed. Outcomes were categorized into short-term, intermediate, and long-term follow-up, corresponding to averages of 1.7, 7.7, and 30.9 months, respectively. Mean scores for the Neck Disability Index (NDI), neck visual analog scale (VAS) score, SF-12 Physical Component Summary (PCS), and SF-12 Mental Component Summary (MCS) were compared for each follow-up period. The percentage of patients meeting substantial clinical benefit (SCB) was also compared for each outcome measure.

RESULTS
Baseline patient characteristics were well-matched, with the exception that patients undergoing miPCD were older (mean age 57.6 ± 10.0 years [miPCD] vs 51.1 ± 9.2 years [ACDFi]; p = 0.006) and underwent surgery at more levels (mean 2.8 ± 0.9 levels [miPCD] vs 1.5 ± 0.7 levels [ACDFi]; p < 0.0001) while the ACDFi patients reported higher preoperative neck VAS scores (mean 3.8 ± 3.0 [miPCD] vs 5.4 ± 2.6 [ACDFi]; p = 0.047). The mean PCS, NDI, neck VAS, and MCS scores were not significantly different with the exception of the MCS score at the short-term follow-up period (mean 46.8 ± 10.6 [miPCD] vs 41.3 ± 10.7 [ACDFi]; p = 0.033). The percentage of patients reporting SCB based on thresholds derived for PCS, NDI, neck VAS, and MCS scores were not significantly different, with the exception of the PCS score at the intermediate follow-up period (52% [miPCD] vs 80% [ACDFi]; p = 0.011).

CONCLUSIONS
The current report suggests that the optimal surgical strategy in patients requiring dorsal surgery may be enhanced by the adoption of a minimally invasive surgical approach that appears to result in similar clinical outcomes when compared with a well-accepted strategy of ventral decompression and instrumented fusion. The current results suggest that future comparative effectiveness studies are warranted as the miPCD technique avoids instrumented fusion.

Published: June 2016

OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to estimate the risk of spinal cord injury (SCI) in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) with and without ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). Also, the study compared the incidence rates of SCI in patients who were managed surgically and conservatively.

METHODS
This retrospective cohort study covering 15 years analyzed the incidence of SCI in patients with CSM. All patients, identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database, were hospitalized with the diagnosis of CSM and followed up during the study period. These patients with CSM were categorized into 4 groups according to whether they had OPLL or not and whether they received surgery or not: 1) surgically managed CSM without OPLL; 2) conservatively managed CSM without OPLL; 3) surgically managed CSM with OPLL; and 4) conservatively managed CSM with OPLL. The incidence rates of subsequent SCI in each group during follow-up were then compared. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were performed to compare the risk of SCI between the groups.

RESULTS
Between January 1, 1999, and December 31, 2013, there were 17,258 patients with CSM who were followed up for 89,003.78 person-years. The overall incidence of SCI in these patients with CSM was 2.022 per 1000 person-years. Patients who had CSM with OPLL and were conservatively managed had the highest incidence of SCI, at 4.11 per 1000 person-years. Patients who had CSM with OPLL and were surgically managed had a lower incidence of SCI, at 3.69 per 1000 person-years. Patients who had CSM without OPLL and were conservatively managed had an even lower incidence of SCI, at 2.41 per 1000 person-years. Patients who had CSM without OPLL and were surgically managed had the lowest incidence of SCI, at 1.31 per 1000 person-years. The Cox regression model demonstrated that SCIs are significantly more likely to happen in male patients and in those with OPLL (HR 2.00 and 2.24, p < 0.001 and p = 0.007, respectively). Surgery could significantly lower the risk for approximately 50% of patients (HR 0.52, p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS
Patients with CSM had an overall incidence rate of SCI at approximately 0.2% per year. Male sex, the coexistence of OPLL, and conservative management are twice as likely to be associated with subsequent SCI. Surgery is therefore suggested for male patients with CSM who also have OPLL.

Authors: Tetreault Lindsay , Wilson Jefferson R. , Kotter Mark R. N. , Nouri Aria , Côté Pierre , Kopjar Branko , Arnold Paul M. , Fehlings Michael G. 
Published: June 2016

OBJECTIVE
The minimum clinically important difference (MCID) is defined as the minimum change in a measurement that a patient would identify as beneficial. Before undergoing surgery, patients are likely to inquire about the ultimate goals of the operation and of their chances of experiencing meaningful improvements. The objective of this study was to define significant predictors of achieving an MCID on the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) scale at 2 years following surgery for the treatment of degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM).

METHODS
Seven hundred fifty-seven patients were prospectively enrolled in either the AOSpine North America or International study at 26 global sites. Fourteen patients had a perfect preoperative mJOA score of 18 and were excluded from this analysis (n = 743). Data were collected for each participating subject, including demographic information, symptomatology, medical history, causative pathology, and functional impairment. Univariate log-binominal regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the association between preoperative clinical factors and achieving an MCID on the mJOA scale. Modified Poisson regression using robust error variances was used to create the final multivariate model and compute the relative risk for each predictor.

RESULTS
The sample consisted of 463 men (62.31%) and 280 women (37.69%), with an average age of 56.48 ± 11.85 years. At 2 years following surgery, patients exhibited a mean change in functional status of 2.71 ± 2.89 points on the mJOA scale. Of the 687 patients with available follow-up data, 481 (70.01%) exhibited meaningful gains on the mJOA scale, whereas 206 (29.98%) failed to achieve an MCID. Based on univariate analysis, significant predictors of achieving the MCID on the mJOA scale were younger age; female sex; shorter duration of symptoms; nonsmoking status; a lower comorbidity score and absence of cardiovascular disease; and absence of upgoing plantar responses, lower-limb spasticity, and broad-based unstable gait. The final model included age (relative risk [RR] 0.924, p < 0.0001), smoking status (RR 0.837, p = 0.0043), broad-based unstable gait (RR 0.869, p = 0.0036), and duration of symptoms (RR 0.943, p = 0.0003).

CONCLUSIONS
In this large multinational prospective cohort, 70% of patients treated surgically for DCM exhibited a meaningful functional gain on the mJOA scale. The key predictors of achieving an MCID on the mJOA scale were younger age, shorter duration of symptoms, nonsmoking status, and lack of significant gait impairment.
Surgical outcomes of cervical spondylotic myelopathy: an analysis of a national, administrative, longitudinal database
Authors: Veeravagu Anand , Connolly Ian D. , Lamsam Layton , Li Amy , Swinney Christian , Azad Tej D. , Desai Atman , Ratliff John K. 
Published: June 2016

OBJECTIVE
The authors performed a population-based analysis of national trends, costs, and outcomes associated with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) in the United States. They assessed postoperative complications, resource utilization, and predictors of costs, in this surgically treated CSM population.

METHODS
MarketScan data (2006–2010) were used to retrospectively analyze the complications and costs of different spine surgeries for CSM. The authors determined outcomes following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), posterior fusion, combined anterior/posterior fusion, and laminoplasty procedures.

RESULTS
The authors identified 35,962 CSM patients, comprising 5154 elderly (age ≥ 65 years) patients (mean 72.2 years, 54.9% male) and 30,808 nonelderly patients (mean 51.1 years, 49.3% male). They found an overall complication rate of 15.6% after ACDF, 29.2% after posterior fusion, 41.1% after combined anterior and posterior fusion, and 22.4% after laminoplasty. Following ACDF and posterior fusion, a significantly higher risk of complication was seen in the elderly compared with the nonelderly (reference group). The fusion level and comorbidity-adjusted ORs with 95% CIs for these groups were 1.54 (1.40–1.68) and 1.25 (1.06–1.46), respectively. In contrast, the elderly population had lower 30-day readmission rates in all 4 surgical cohorts (ACDF, 2.6%; posterior fusion, 5.3%; anterior/posterior fusion, 3.4%; and laminoplasty, 3.6%). The fusion level and comorbidity-adjusted odds ratios for 30-day readmissions for ACDF, posterior fusion, combined anterior and posterior fusion, and laminoplasty were 0.54 (0.44–0.68), 0.32 (0.24–0.44), 0.17 (0.08–0.38), and 0.39 (0.18–0.85), respectively.

CONCLUSIONS
The authors' analysis of the MarketScan database suggests a higher complication rate in the surgical treatment of CSM than previous national estimates. They found that elderly age (≥ 65 years) significantly increased complication risk following ACDF and posterior fusion. Elderly patients were less likely to experience a readmission within 30 days of surgery. Postoperative complication occurrence, and 30-day readmission were significant drivers of total cost within 90 days of the index surgical procedure.

Background: Cord separation time has evolved as an important justification for recommending against the topical use of chlorhexidine on the cord. Objective: This present study was undertaken to determine the impact of cord cleansing with chlorhexidine on cord separation time and maternal acceptance of chlorhexidine in umbilical cord care. Methods: Between April 2013 to July 2014, 340 newborns were randomly assigned within a tertiary level hospital in Bangladesh to receive 1 of 2 cord care regimens: clean and dry cord care (control) and single cord cleansing with 4% chlorhexidine. Results: The mean cord separation time in newborns of chlorhexidine group was significantly longer than dry cord care group (p < 0.001). Mother of newborns in chlorhexidine group more frequently reported longer than usual cord separation time. Overall satisfaction of mother with cord separation time was high (95.9%). Conclusion: Topical chlorhexidine significantly increased cord separation time.Journal of Science Foundation, 2015;13(2):27-30DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jsf.v13i2.27929
