Água de montanha: um estudo de caso na França sobre a relação entre empresa, território e produção e produto
Authors: Ambrosini Larissa Bueno , Giraud Georges 
Published: October 2016

<p class="authorinfo">As regiões montanhosas são consideradas áreas desfavorecidas do ponto de vista do desenvolvimento econômico, pois contam com baixa densidade populacional e fraca atividade industrial. Esse contexto contribuiu para que as fontes de água localizadas em montanhas tivessem menos contato com substâncias contaminantes e atividades poluidoras. A água proveniente dessas regiões é, assim, associada à pureza. A indústria de água envasada, um dos mercados mais dinâmicos do segmento de bebidas, vem tirando benefício da relação entre altitude e pureza. Considerando o território e a importância do recurso natural mencionado, propomos um estudo de caso com o objetivo de analisar a influência da relação empresa-território no caso de usinas situadas em zonas de montanha, e que utilizam em seus produtos a denominação “água de fonte de montanha”. Trata-se de um estudo de caso sobre um recurso natural importante o qual ainda é pouco abordado no meio acadêmico. Nossos resultados demonstram que a exploração de fontes em zonas de montanha auxilia a criar postos de trabalho localmente e contribui com a receita dos municípios onde as plantas industriais estão localizadas. Entretanto, trata-se de um produto cuja sustentabilidade em longo prazo é discutível. </p>

Authors: Silveira João Ricardo Aguiar da , Telles Ericka G. , Lannes Denise 
Published: October 2016

<p>Conexões criativas são tão essenciais para o modelo de inovação, que organizações consideradas inovadoras promovem eventos a fim de reunir grupos criativos para acelerar o movimento de ideias, desde o seu conceito até sua realização. Um exemplo de iniciativas internacionais que convergem neste sentido é o <em>Hacking Arts</em>, uma ação de vanguarda na integração entre arte, ciência e inovação. Realizado dentro do ambiente acadêmico, mas aberto à comunidade em geral, o festival pretende estimular o empreendedorismo e a inovação nas artes criativas e fora delas. O evento subdivide-se em três momentos: a Conferência, a <em>Tech Expo</em> e o <em>Hackathon</em>. Neste artigo é descrita e analisada a edição do evento que ocorreu em Cambridge, Estados Unidos no ano de 2015. Pretende-se, através deste trabalho, descrever o formato desse evento, contextualizando-o a partir das ideias dos autores. O objetivo é que as informações e discussões expostas possam servir de inspiração para o fomento de eventos futuros os quais diminuam a distância entre iniciantes e profissionais renomados e fomentem a aproximação entre arte, ciência e inovação no Brasil. </p>
Inclusão produtiva: análise exploratória do programa Todos Somos Porto Alegre
Authors: Voltaire Vanessa , Ladeira Francine Da Silva , Tatsch Talyta Medeiros , De Oliveira Dr Celmar Corrêa 
Published: October 2016

<p>O presente trabalho teve como objetivo principal analisar a ocorrência da inclusão produtiva de catadores de resíduos sólidos através do Programa Todos Somos Porto Alegre, promovido através de uma parceria entre a Prefeitura Municipal da capital gaúcha e a Organização Não-Governamental Mãos Verdes, concorrendo, para tanto, em um esforço de definição do conceito de Inclusão Produtiva conforme vêm sendo adotado pela legislação vigente e referencial teórico. Nossos objetivos específicos foram estudar como está se dando a implementação do programa, bem como realizar a comparação da bibliografia pesquisada, analisando suas etapas, as dificuldades encontradas e o andamento do processo. O referencial teórico apoiou-se nos conceitos de inclusão social e produtiva enquanto forma de cidadania ampliada, conforme Doyal e Gough (1991; 1994); e nos conceitos de desenvolvimento como liberdade, através de políticas de redistribuição e apoio ao desenvolvimento, conforme propõem Amartya Sen (1999) e Thomas Pikkety (2014). Os resultados iniciais do trabalho, embora as dificuldades de acesso aos dados não permitam a generalização de conclusões, indicam que o programa estudado apresenta limitações em promover a inclusão social e produtiva dos catadores de forma efetiva. </p>

Published: October 2016

BackgroundDigital game-based learning (DGBL) makes use of the entertaining power of digital games for educational purposes. Effectiveness assessment of DGBL programs has been underexplored and no attempt has been made to simultaneously model both important components of DGBL: learning attainment (ie, educational purposes of DGBL) and engagement of users (ie, entertaining power of DGBL) in evaluating program effectiveness.ObjectiveThis study aimed to describe and evaluate an Internet-based DGBL program, Professor Gooley and the Flame of Mind, which promotes mental health to adolescents in a positive youth development approach. In particular, we investigated whether user engagement in the DGBL program could enhance their attainment on each of the learning constructs per DGBL module and subsequently enhance their mental health as measured by psychological well-being.MethodsUsers were assessed on their attainment on each learning construct, psychological well-being, and engagement in each of the modules. One structural equation model was constructed for each DGBL module to model the effect of users' engagement and attainment on the learning construct on their psychological well-being.ResultsOf the 498 secondary school students that registered and participated from the first module of the DGBL program, 192 completed all 8 modules of the program. Results from structural equation modeling suggested that a higher extent of engagement in the program activities facilitated users’ attainment on the learning constructs on most of the modules and in turn enhanced their psychological well-being after controlling for users’ initial psychological well-being and initial attainment on the constructs.ConclusionsThis study provided evidence that Internet intervention for mental health, implemented with the technologies and digital innovations of DGBL, could enhance youth mental health. Structural equation modeling is a promising approach in evaluating the effectiveness of DGBL programs.

Authors: Leiva Guerrero María Verónica , Campbell Esquivel Juan Carlos 
Published: October 2016

Esta é uma discussão sobre a realidade acadêmica do Chile a partir de 1981. A expansão e diversificação do nível de educação superior como produto da política pública do Chile a partir do ano 1981 do século XX, continua acentuada durante as últimas décadas nos 3 tipos de Instituições de Educação: universidade, institutos profissionais e os centros de formação técnica que se estruturam no denominado ´sistema superior´ a partir das profundas mudanças legislativas ocorridas no governo militar nos anos 80. O objetivo do debate apresentado é analisar essa política de educação superior discutindo a qualidade, a equidade e a inovação curricular nos três modelos de educação superior existentes no Chile. São Instituições de Educação Superior definidas como centros de excelência, orientadas a investigação, formação de professores; no nível intermediário estão nos institutos profissionais responsáveis pela formação profissional a nível superior e na base os centros de formação técnica, a cargo da formação técnica. O processo de expansão da educação superior no Chile tem tido 14% de jovens entre 18-24 anos no ano de 1990; 24% no ano de 2000 e 29% em 2010.
Linguistic Tone of Municipal Management Discussion and Analysis Disclosures and Future Financial Reporting Delays
Authors: Rich Kevin T. , Roberts Brent L. , Zhang Jean X. 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
We investigate relations between the textual content of municipal Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) disclosures and future financial reporting. Specifically, we examine the linguistic tone of municipal MD&A disclosures and future financial reporting delays as a proxy for financial reporting quality. Using a sample of 362 municipal MD&A disclosures in fiscal year-end 2011, our empirical analysis suggests that the fraction of positive to total words in municipal MD&A disclosures is associated with timelier financial reporting in the following year after controlling for current report timing and other municipality and governance factors. We interpret our results to suggest that positive language in municipal MD&A disclosures is a signal of confidence in financial reporting quality, indicating that MD&A text contains relevant information in forecasting the quality of future financial reporting for local governments.

Commentary on: Thoughts on the Divide between Theoretical and Empirical Research in Accounting
Authors: Caskey Judson , Corona Carlos 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
This paper provides our comments on Chen, Gerakos, Glode, and Taylor's (2016) panel session held at the 2015 Junior Accounting Theory Conference on the relation between theoretical and empirical research in accounting. Consistent with a declining fraction of theory papers in accounting journals, we show that the number of accounting theorists has been stable since the 2001–2005 period, while the rest of the field has grown. We offer our perspectives on how the knowledge generated by accounting researchers depends on a healthy interaction between theory and empirical work. We also comment on and add to Chen et al.'s (2016) discussion of how to improve the links between theoretical and empirical work.

OBJECTIVE
To determine whether resveratrol supplementation can improve insulin sensitivity and promote overall metabolic health on top of standard diabetes care.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Seventeen subjects with well-controlled type 2 diabetes (T2D) were treated with placebo and 150 mg/day resveratrol (resVida) in a randomized double-blind crossover study for 30 days. The main outcome measure was insulin sensitivity by the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique.

RESULTS
Hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivity were not affected by resveratrol treatment. Intrahepatic lipid content also remained unaffected by resveratrol; however, the change in intrahepatic lipid content correlated negatively with plasma resveratrol levels (R = −0.68, P = 0.03). Intramyocellular lipid content increased in type 2 muscle fibers (P = 0.03), and systolic blood pressure tended to decrease (P = 0.09) upon resveratrol treatment. In addition, resveratrol significantly improved ex vivo mitochondrial function (state 3 and state U respiration upon malate with octanoyl-carnitine, P &lt; 0.005). Intriguingly, a correlation was found between plasma levels of a metabolite of resveratrol (dihydroresveratrol) and the metformin dose used by the patients (R = 0.66, P = 0.005), suggesting an interaction between metformin and resveratrol. It could be speculated that the lack of a resveratrol-induced insulin-sensitizing effect is caused by this interaction.

CONCLUSIONS
Resveratrol supplementation does not improve hepatic or peripheral insulin sensitivity. Our results question the generalized value of resveratrol as an add-on therapy in the treatment of T2D and emphasize the need to perform studies in drug-naive patients with T2D or subjects with prediabetes.
Dopa-Responsive Balance Changes Depend on Use of Internal Versus External Attentional Focus in Parkinson Disease
Authors: Beck Eric N. , Almeida Quincy J. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract

Background
Parkinson disease (PD) impairs control of well-learned movements. Movement control improvements are found when individuals complete tasks while focusing attention externally on manipulating an object, which is argued to occur due to automatic processing associated with well-learned movements. Focusing attention internally (on movements of one's limbs) is believed to involve conscious control networks and hinders movement performance. Previous work has shown that an external focus of attention (EFA) improved postural stability in individuals with PD (compared with an internal focus of attention [IFA]), but this improvement occurred when patients were taking dopamine medication, which modulates basal ganglia functioning responsible for well-learned movements.

Objective
The purpose of this study was to determine whether an EFA or IFA is beneficial for postural stability in individuals with PD in the absence of dopamine replacement.

Design
A within-participant design was utilized.

Methods
Nineteen individuals with PD stood on a firm, unstable platform in 3 attentional conditions: (1) EFA, (2) IFA, and (3) control (participant asked to stand still). Displacement and variability of anterior-posterior and medial-lateral postural sway were measured with a balance system for fall risk assessment. The protocol was completed both “on” and “off” (mininum 12-hour withdrawal of) dopaminergic medications.

Results
While off medications, anterior-posterior sway variability was significantly lower during an IFA compared with the EFA and control. Anterior-posterior sway displacement and variability were significantly lower during the IFA, when off medications were compared with IFA and EFA while on medications.

Limitations
There was no comparison with a healthy age-matched control group, and a safety harness was used due to task difficulty.

Conclusions
An EFA may recruit automatic processes that involve degenerated basal ganglia in PD, and absence of dopamine exacerbates dysfunction. Training with an EFA may improve upon these automatic processes in individuals with PD.
Reverberation index: a novel metric by which to quantify the impact of a scientific entity on a given field
Authors: Kathleen Bandt S. , Dacey Ralph G. 
Published: October 2016

The authors propose a novel bibilometric index, the reverberation index (r-index), as a comparative assessment tool for use in determining differential reverberation between scientific fields for a given scientific entity. Conversely, this may allow comparison of 2 similar scientific entities within a single scientific field. This index is calculated using a relatively simple 3-step process.Briefly, Thompson Reuters' Web of Science is used to produce a citation report for a unique search parameter (this may be an author, journal article, or topical key word). From this citation report, a list of citing journals is retrieved from which a weighted ratio of citation patterns across journals can be calculated. This r-index is then used to compare the reverberation of the original search parameter across different fields of study or wherever a comparison is required.The advantage of this novel tool is its ability to transcend a specific component of the scientific process. This affords application to a diverse range of entities, including an author, a journal article, or a topical key word, for effective comparison of that entity's reverberation within a scientific arena. The authors introduce the context for and applications of the r-index, emphasizing neurosurgical topics and journals for illustration purposes. It should be kept in mind, however, that the r-index is readily applicable across all fields of study.
The impact of several craniotomies on transcranial motor evoked potential monitoring during neurosurgery

Published: October 2016

OBJECTIVETranscranial motor evoked potential (tMEP) monitoring is popular in neurosurgery; however, the accuracy of tMEP can be impaired by craniotomy. Each craniotomy procedure and changes in the CSF levels affects the current spread. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of several craniotomies on tMEP monitoring by using C3–4 transcranial electrical stimulation (TES).METHODSThe authors used the finite element method to visualize the electric field in the brain, which was generated by TES, using realistic 3D head models developed from T1-weighted MR images. Surfaces of 5 layers of the head (brain, CSF, skull, subcutaneous fat, and skin layer) were separated as accurately as possible. The authors created 5 models of the head, as follows: normal head; frontotemporal craniotomy; parietal craniotomy; temporal craniotomy; and occipital craniotomy. The computer simulation was investigated by finite element methods, and clinical recordings of the stimulation threshold level of upper-extremity tMEP (UE-tMEP) during neurosurgery were also studied in 30 patients to validate the simulation study.RESULTSBone removal during the craniotomy positively affected the generation of the electric field in the motor cortex if the motor cortex was just under the bone at the margin of the craniotomy window. This finding from the authors' simulation study was consistent with clinical reports of frontotemporal craniotomy cases. A major decrease in CSF levels during an operation had a significantly negative impact on the electric field when the motor cortex was exposed to air. The CSF surface level during neurosurgery depends on the body position and location of the craniotomy. The parietal craniotomy and temporal craniotomy were susceptible to the effect of the changing CSF level, based on the simulation study. A marked increase in the threshold following a decrease in CSF was actually recorded in clinical reports of the UE-tMEP threshold from a temporal craniotomy. However, most frontotemporal craniotomy cases were minimally affected by a small decrease in CSF.CONCLUSIONSBone removal during a craniotomy positively affects the generation of the electric field in the motor cortex if the motor cortex is just under the bone at the margin of the craniotomy window. The CSF decrease and the shifting brain can negatively affect tMEP ignition. These changes should be minimized to maintain the original conductivity between the motor cortex and the skull, and the operation team must remember the fluctuation of the tMEP threshold.

OBJECTIVEThe authors explored the feasibility of seizure detection and prediction using signals recorded from the anterior thalamic nucleus, a major target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the treatment of epilepsy.METHODSUsing data from 5 patients (13 seizures in total), the authors performed a feasibility study and analyzed the performance of a seizure prediction and detection algorithm applied to simultaneously acquired scalp and thalamic electroencephalography (EEG). The thalamic signal was obtained from DBS electrodes. The applied algorithm used the similarity index as a nonlinear measure for seizure identification, with patient-specific channel and threshold selection. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were calculated using data from all patients and channels to compare the performance between DBS and EEG recordings.RESULTSThalamic DBS recordings were associated with a mean prediction rate of 84%, detection rate of 97%, and false-alarm rate of 0.79/hr. In comparison, scalp EEG recordings were associated with a mean prediction rate of 71%, detection rate of 100%, and false-alarm rate of 1.01/hr. From the ROC curves, when considering all channels, DBS outperformed EEG for both detection and prediction of seizures.CONCLUSIONSThis is the first study to compare automated seizure detection and prediction from simultaneous thalamic and scalp EEG recordings. The authors have demonstrated that signals recorded from DBS leads are more robust than EEG recordings and can be used to predict and detect seizures. These results indicate feasibility for future designs of closed-loop anterior nucleus DBS systems for the treatment of epilepsy.
