Authors: Nguyen Trang , Dennison Barbara A. , Fan Wei , Xu Changning , Birkhead Guthrie S. 
Published: June 2017

OBJECTIVES:We examined the variation between 126 New York hospitals in formula supplementation among breastfed infants after adjusting for socioeconomic, maternal, and infant factors and stratifying by level of perinatal care.METHODS:We used 2014 birth certificate data for 160 911 breastfed infants to calculate hospital-specific formula supplementation percentages by using multivariable hierarchical logistic regression models.RESULTS:Formula supplementation percentages varied widely among hospitals, from 2.3% to 98.3%, and was lower among level 1 hospitals (18.2%) than higher-level hospitals (50.6%–57.0%). Significant disparities in supplementation were noted for race and ethnicity (adjusted odds ratios [aORs] were 1.54–2.05 for African Americans, 1.85–2.74 for Asian Americans, and 1.25–2.16 for Hispanics, compared with whites), maternal education (aORs were 2.01–2.95 for ≤12th grade, 1.74–1.85 for high school or general education development, and 1.18–1.28 for some college or a college degree, compared with a Master’s degree), and insurance coverage (aOR was 1.27–1.60 for Medicaid insurance versus other). Formula supplementation was higher among mothers who smoked, had a cesarean delivery, or diabetes. At all 4 levels of perinatal care, there were exemplar hospitals that met the HealthyPeople 2020 supplementation goal of ≤14.2%. After adjusting for individual risk factors, the hospital-specific, risk-adjusted supplemental formula percentages still revealed a wide variation.CONCLUSIONS:A better understanding of the exemplar hospitals could inform future efforts to improve maternity care practices and breastfeeding support to reduce unnecessary formula supplementation, reduce disparities, increase exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding duration, and improve maternal and child health outcomes.
Public participation, Good Environmental Governance and fulfilment of Environmental rights
Authors: Du Plessis Ané 
Published: June 2017

This article succinctly, albeit critically, assesses with reference to some international developments the role that public participation is expected to play in state governments’ fulfilment of citizens’ environmental rights. Based on a survey of literature and jurisprudence, the article considers substantive environmental rights as human rights and the notion of public participation generally. It also puts forward some ideas on the relation between public participation and the fulfilment of environmental rights and how this may feed into good environmental governance. The article does not aim to contribute to the discourse on good governance or good environmental governance per se. Instead, it introduces the presumed role of public participation processes in an environmental rights context what may be but a facet of good governance and/or good environmental governance. Where applicable, the South African context is employed to illustrate and reinforce the observations and/or viewpoints maintained.

The Establishment of Kingdoms and the Identification of Kings and Queens in terms of the Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Act 41 of 2003
Authors: Bekker JC 
Published: June 2017

The Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Act 41 of 2003 provides, amongst others matters, for the recognition of kings and queens and the establishment of a Commission on Traditional Leadership Disputes and Claims to decide on disputes and claims relating to traditional leadership, including kings and queens.

The author examines the criteria and procedure for the creation of kingdoms and for identifying the rightful incumbents. During the apartheid years the traditional leadership was manipulated for political purposes. The Act goes a long way towards restoring it to conform to precepts of customary law and custom. The author argues, in essence, that this is easier said than done. It would, he submits, be difficult to dismantle the apartheid structures. It would likewise be difficult to identify the rightful incumbents and to resolve new claims. He suggests that the relevant provisions of the Act be revised to provide more clarity on fundamental principles.
The Constitutional Validity of Search and Seizure Powers in South African Criminal Procedure
Authors: Basdeo Vinesh 
Published: June 2017

An important part of crime investigation is the obtaining of evidence through the search and seizure of persons and things. The South African Constitution[1] recognises that state authorities should not be permitted untrammelled access to search and seize. It is a necessary incident to democracy that citizens must be protected from unjustified intrusions of privacy and property by agents of the state. Otherwise, arbitrary state actions could severely affect the personal freedom and associated fundamental rights that are intended to be a predominant feature of democratic society. In this article I consider whether or not certain provisions contained in the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977 and the South African Police Service Act 68 of 1995 (hereafter the Criminal Procedure Act and the South African Police Service Act respectively) are in conflict with the Constitution. The provisions deal with search and seizure. I will also turn to the laws of foreign jurisdictions, specifically of the United States and Canada, for guidance and comparison.

At the outset it should be pointed out that this article does not argue for the abolition of the search and seizure provisions contained in the Criminal Procedure Act and the South African Police Service Act. It is acknowledged albeit reluctantly, that there may still be a need for some of them. It is the investigative and enforcement measures provided for by these provisions, rather than the objectives, which are in issue here. It is submitted that there are search and seizure provisions contained in the Criminal Procedure Act and the South African Police Service Act, which are inconsistent with the spirit, purport and object of the Constitution.
A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF AN INTERPROFESSIONALISM ASSESSMENT SCALE APPLIED TO HEALTH SCIENCES UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Authors: Pedroza de Carvalho Garcia Carolina , Menezes Marta Silva , Villa Nova Aguiar Carolina , Menezes Gusmão Marilia , Vilas Boas Ligia , Lins Liliane 
Published: June 2017

Introduction: The search for initiatives that stimulate interprofessionalism should incorporate activities developed by educational institutions. The Bahia School of Medicine and Public Health (EBMSP) runs a project, approved by the Government Program of Education for Work in Health - PET-Saúde, which promotes interprofessional practice. Objective: Evaluate the psychometric properties of the IEPS when applied to Brazilian students. Method: We conducted Exploratory Factorial Analyses and took into account the eigenvalues and the theoretical model in order to estimate the number of factors. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was also calculated. Results: A three-dimensional factorial solution was tested. These three factors jointly explain 66.5% of variance in interprofessionalism. Three items were excluded, due to empirical weaknesses. The Cronbach alphas obtained for each dimension were 0.84, 0.70 and 0.16. Conclusion: The study attained its objective, gathering initial evidence regarding the validity of this measure in a Brazilian context.
Success of Dental Treatments under Behavior Management, Sedation and General Anesthesia
Authors: Blumer Sigalit , Costa Liora , Peretz Benjamin 
Published: June 2017

Objective: To present comparative study aims to assist the practitioner to choose between behavior modification (BM) techniques, pharmacologic sedation (N2O-O2 alone or combined with midazolam 0.5 mg/ kg) or routine general anesthesia (GA) for the most successful approach in enabling pediatric dental care.
Study design: Dental records of 56 children treated in a university dental clinic between 2006–2016 were reviewed, and data on age, gender, required treatment (amalgam restorations, composite restorations, pulpotomy, and stainless steel crowns [SSC]), treatment approaches and therapeutic success at final follow-up were retrieved. Results: Treatment under GA had the best success rates compared to both BM and pharmacologic sedation. N2O-O2 alone had a 6.1-fold greater risk of failure compared to N2O-O2+midazolam (p− &lt;0.008). Amalgam restorations had a 2.61-fold greater risk of failure than SSC (p− &lt;0.008). Conclusions: The GA mode yielded significantly greater success than the N2O-O2 mode alone. There were no significant differences in success rates between GA and combined midazolam 0.5 mg/kg+N2O-O2. When choosing restoration material, it is important to remember the high success rate of SSC compared to amalgam restoration.

Published: June 2017

RESUMO:Este artigo apresenta a metodologia empregada na compilação de um corpus linguístico do Português Brasileiro, o qual foi denominado de Corpus ABG, e no desenvolvimento de algumas ferramentas computacionais. O objetivo deste trabalho é reunir uma grande quantidade de textos, escritos e orais, que possa representar o falar brasileiro a fim de ser fonte de extração de dados fonológicos quantificados para duas pesquisas, a saber, Guide (2016) e Benevides (2017). O corpus contabiliza 3.616.625 ocorrências de palavras e 92.602 tipos de palavras, sendo que 1.938.805 ocorrências são provenientes dos corpora de fala e 1.676.820 ocorrências dos corpora escritos. Ancorado na metodologia da Linguística de Corpus e por meio de ferramentas computacionais desenvolvidas em Linguagem Python, o presente artigo divulga e disponibiliza à comunidade científica o Corpus ABG, as ferramentas computacionais (acentuador, categorizador de estruturas fonológicas, silabificador) e algumas informações fonológicas (acentuais e silábicas) já extraídas do corpus. Além disso, faz um convite a novas explorações dos dados a todos os pesquisadores que tiverem interesse. ABSTRACT:The present paper presents the task of compiling a linguistic corpus of Brazilian Portuguese, which was undertaken by the authors. It is called ABG Corpus, and this article is also about the computational tools developed for the task. Our main goal is to reunite a large amount of texts, both from spoken and written language to, in the best way possible, represent the Brazilian language in a way that we could use it as a database for our researches, Guide (2016) and Benevides (2017). The ABG corpus has 3.616.625 word tokens and 92.602 types of words, being that 1.938.805 of those tokens are from spoken language corpora and 1.676.820 tokens come from written corpora. Based on the corpus linguistics framework and through the use of computational tools developed using Python, this article shows and provides access to the ABG Corpus, the computational tools (stress marker, phonological structure identifier, syllabifier), as well as some phonological information (stress and syllable related), already present on the corpus. We end by inviting the community to further expand our findings and explore this new tool.
As tecnologias de informação e comunicação: novos suportes para o ensino de literatura / Information and communication technologies: new supports for literature education
Authors: Branco Marta Roque 
Published: June 2017

RESUMO: Este artigo tem por objetivo discutir a importância dos recursos tecnológicos no ambiente educacional como estratégia na formação de leitores de textos e do mundo. Para tanto, serão abordados a postura e o papel do professor diante desses novos recursos, os benefícios das tecnologias para o processo educacional e a importância das práticas de leitura do professor dentro desse processo. Aparecem também algumas possibilidades/sugestões de ambientes virtuais para o ensino de literatura envolvendo crianças. Nesse trajeto, autores como Ribeiro (2005), Leal (2006), Fernandes (2011) e Barreto (2001), dentre outros, auxiliam na discussão a que o trabalho se propõe e na conclusão de que a simples adoção das tecnologias não promove mudanças no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Para resultados mais eficazes, torna-se necessário um questionamento das didáticas tradicionais e uma redefinição do papel do professor e de sua interação com os conteúdos, metodologias e com os alunos. ABSTRACT: This article aims at discussing the importance of technological resources in the educational environment as a strategy in the training of readers of texts and the world. To that end, the teacher's posture and role will be approached in the face of these new resources, the benefits of the technologies for the educational process and the importance of the teacher's reading practices within this process. There are also some possibilities/suggestions of virtual environments for the teaching of literature involving children. In this path, authors such as Ribeiro (2015), Leal (2006), Fernandes (2011) and Barreto (2001), among others, will help in the discussion to which the work is proposed and in the conclusion that the simple adoption of technologies does not promote changes in the teaching-learning process. For more effective results, it is necessary to question the traditional didactics and a redefinition of the teacher's role and its interaction with the contents, methodologies and with the students.
Práticas linguísticas em Big Data / Practical language in Big Data
Authors: Vargas Vieira dos Santos Vinícius 
Published: June 2017

RESUMO: O presente artigo objetiva tratar possíveis relações entre novas mídias digitais e certos aspectos conceituais da linguagem, como significado e performatividade. Big data é o termo que se refere ao acúmulo de dados digitais que caracterizou as mídias de comunicação em massa nas duas últimas décadas e está diretamente relacionado à atual configuração da plataforma de serviços de tecnologia Web 2.0. As escalas de desmedido volume e variedade de dados digitais e altos índices de velocidade que caracterizam o Big data modificam as paisagens de contexto social, provocando, consequentemente, atualizações nas escalas da linguagem. Afinal, contextos em ambientes virtuais entram em colapso, pois ao assumir as próprias características do meio, revelam-se superdiversos, simultâneos, fragmentados, não estruturados, ausentes de marcadores familiares, excedendo escalas tradicionais de tempo, espaço e alcance social. ABSTRACT: This article aims at assimilating possible relationships among new digital media and certain conceptual aspects of language, such as meaning and performativity. Big data is a term that refers to digital data accumulation that characterized the mass communication media in the last two decades and it is directly related to the current configuration of Web 2.0 technology services platform. The scales of excessive quantity and variety of digital data and high speed data which characterize the Big data change the social context of landscapes, causing consequently updates on the scales of language. After all, contexts in virtual environments collapse, because they assume the characteristics of the environment, that is, they show themselves as superdiverse, simultaneous, fragmented, unstructured, missing family markers, exceeding traditional scales of time, space and social reach.
Democratizando a ciência no cenário internacional: um debate sobre conceito de comunidades epistêmicas e sua perspectiva da ciência na política internacional | Democratizing science on the international scene: a debate on the concept of epistemic communities and its perspective of science in international politics
Authors: Gayard Nicole Aguilar 
Published: June 2017

Resumo O artigo retoma os debates e premissas sobre a democratização da governança em ciência e tecnologia, e os compara com a perspectiva da ciência predominante no conceito de comunidades epistêmicas no campo das relações internacionais. Ressalta os diferentes entendimentos sobre o binômio “ciência e tecnologia” nas abordagens debatidas. A revisão e comparação entre perspectivas da ciência aportadas pelos estudos sociais da ciência e tecnologia e pelas relações internacionais busca contribuir com o debate da democratização e engajamento público em ciência e tecnologia para além de uma perspectiva nacional. Conclui-se pela necessidade de integrar perspectivas e debates contemporâneos sobre uma produção de conhecimento heterogênea e múltipla na análise do conhecimento nas relações internacionais.Palavras-chave: Governança em C&T; Democratização; Comunidades Epistêmicas (Relações Internacionais).Abstract This article explores the debates around calls and experiments of democratization in science and technology governance, and compares them with the perspective of science embedded in the concept of epistemic communities, as employed by International Relations theories. It emphasizes the different understandings about "Science and Technology" in each of these approaches. The review and comparison between perspectives of science provided by the Social Studies of Science and Technology and International Relations seeks to contribute to the debate of democratization and public engagement in science and technology beyond a national perspective. The article concludes by pointing to the necessity of recognizing contemporary perspectives of knowledge, as a heterogeneous field of action composed by multiple actors and networks, for an improved analysis of the role of knowledge in international politics.Keywords: Governance in S&T; Democratization; Epistemic Communities (International Relations).
Monitorización de la nutrición parenteral pediátrica
Authors: Moreno Villares José Manuel 
Published: June 2017

La monitorización de la nutrición parenteral (NP) pasa por una valoración inicial completa antes de su inicio, en la que se incluirán tanto la propia indicación de la NP, el estado nutricional del niño, el tipo de acceso venoso y una serie de controles analíticos que se detallan en la tabla I (GdE 5).Las complicaciones de la NP pueden minimizarse cuando se hace una indicación adecuada, se elige una mezcla de nutrientes equilibrada y se vigila estrechamente la respuesta del paciente. La frecuencia con la que es preciso obtener determinaciones analíticas en el seguimiento dependerá tanto de la situación clínica como de la duración del soporte nutricional.Así, los enfermos con pérdidas aumentadas de líquidos (por ejemplo por una sonda o un drenaje) o con fallo de algún órgano requieren controles más frecuentes. También es el caso de los pacientes muy desnutridos, que pueden presentar un síndrome de realimentación. En los recién nacidos se minimizará el número de las determinaciones analíticas o, en caso de realizarlas, se preferirá el uso de micrométodos que utilizan escasa cantidad de sangre.Cuando se trata de pacientes con NP domiciliaria (NPD) o prolongada, además de las determinaciones habituales, se monitorizarán niveles de vitaminas y elementos traza(GdE 5). Además, el equipo médico responsable del soporte nutricional ha de realizar evaluaciones periódicas de la situación nutricional, así como observar el cumplimiento de los objetivos terapéuticos marcados al inicio del soporte. Valorará la retirada de la NP cuando se hayan conseguido dichos objetivos y el paciente sea capaz de recibir por vía digestiva un aporte suficiente de nutrientes (superior a dos tercios de los requerimientos estimados) o bien cuando sea una medida terapéutica fútil.
