Ensino de História e tecnologias digitais: trabalhando com oficinas pedagógicas
Authors: Costa Marcella Albaine Farias da 
Published: February 2016

A escola e a universidade, percebidas como espaços de conhecimento, encontram-se permanentemente interpeladas pelas novas demandas da sociedade, entre as quais, aquelas relacionadas à chamada revolução tecnológica. Considerando os debates atuais em torno da história digital, o texto tem por objetivo apresentar aos professores da educação básica e de nível superior possibilidades de trabalho com/sobre tecnologias digitais, a partir de atividades com oficinas pedagógicas. Analisam-se as diferenças entre as oficinas e as atividades ditas “tradicionais”, defendendo-se que aquelas se fixam como espaço e tempo de formação e pesquisa. As experiências partilhadas com base no uso de plataformas e ferramentas diversas evidenciam a distinção e os desafios próprios do “falar sobre” e do “operar com” tecnologia no âmbito de processos educativos. Por fim, questiona-se se a tecnologia, além de recurso pedagógico auxiliar, pode mudar a relação com a epistemologia histórica.
A Clinical Case of Clozapine-Induced Fatal Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Authors: Romney Eric , Nagaraj Vinay J. , Kafer Amie 
Published: February 2016

Introduction Clozapine, a second generation medication, has become the atypical antipsychotic drug of choice for refractory or treatment-resistant schizophrenia. In addition to the high risk of agranulocytosis and seizures, clozapine treatment is increasingly associated with significant metabolic effects, such as hyperglycemia, central weight gain and adiposity, hypertriglyceridemia, and elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. A potentially life-threatening complication of altered metabolism is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This report details a case of fatal DKA in a schizophrenic patient undergoing treatment with clozapine. Case Description An African–American male in his 20s with a medical history significant for schizophrenia was presented to the psychiatric inpatient ward with severe paranoid thoughts and aggressive behavior. After trials of risperidone, olanzapine, and haloperidol—all of which failed to adequately control his psychotic symptoms—clozapine titration was initiated and he showed significant improvement. Weight gain was observed throughout hospitalization, but all blood and urine test results showed no metabolic or hematological abnormalities. The patient was discharged for outpatient treatment on clozapine (125 mg morning and 325 mg evening) along with divalproex sodium and metoprolol. Six days post-discharge, the patient died. A medical autopsy later ruled that the death was due to DKA without any evidence of contributory injuries or natural disease. Results and Conclusion Significant increase in body mass index from 28.7 to 33.5 was observed during hospitalization. The blood glucose level, measured after his death, was found to be 500 mg/dL. Altered metabolism due to clozapine can lead to dyslipidemia-mediated-pancreatic-beta-cell damage, decreased insulin secretion as well as insulin resistance. In DKA, low levels of insulin lead to an increased release of free fatty acids from adipose tissue. Acetyl coenzyme A (CoA), derived from the breakdown of free fatty acids, is metabolized by the Kreb's cycle. In hepatocytes, excess acetyl-CoA is converted into ketone bodies (acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate) and released into circulation. Ketone bodies have a low p Ka value and their high serum concentrations lead to DKA. In this patient, DKA was most probably clozapine induced and had fatal consequences. Thus, recognizing potential risk factors, providing patient education, and increasing monitoring of patients on clozapine and other atypical antipsychotics are critical to prevent the life-threatening effects of DKA.

Published: February 2016

The U.S. criminal justice system refers more people to substance abuse treatment than any other system. Low treatment completion rates and high relapse rates among addicted offenders highlight the need for better substance use disorder treatment and recovery tools. Mobile health applications (apps) may fill that need by providing continuous support. In this pilot test, 30 participants in a Massachusetts drug court program used A-CHESS, a mobile app for recovery support and relapse prevention, over a four-month period. Over the course of the study period, participants opened A-CHESS on average of 62% of the days that they had the app. Social networking tools were the most utilized services. The study results suggest that drug court participants will make regular use of a recovery support app. This pilot study sought to find out if addicted offenders in a drug court program would use a mobile application to support and manage their recovery.

Published: February 2016

<p>Self-concept is the cognitive aspect of self and generally refers to the totality of a complex, organized and dynamic system of learned beliefs, attitudes and opinions that each person holds to be true about his or her personal existence. Self-concept and achievement are dynamically interactive and reciprocal. It is found that certain psychological factors like self-concept plays a major role in determining the academic achievement of students. Hence the need for this study. A sample of 321 students in different categories of schools following different systems of education at the higher secondary level was chosen. The findings of the study conducted revealed that students belonging to central board schools were better in their self-concept and academic achievement when compared to students from other boards. There is also a significant and positive relationship between self-concept and academic achievement of students at the higher secondary level.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Self-concept, Academic Achievement, Psychological factors</p>

Published: February 2016

<p>This study aimed at investigating the concept of national identity and its constituents as perceived by Jordanian youth. Its main question is about the identity we have nowadays. The study sought to understand and analyze the concept of identity and its subjective and objective constituents through the identification of the perceptions of Jordanian youth of the identity by realizing its constituents, following the approach of social field studies and through some simple statistical analyses based on a sample which consisted of (250) young university people. They were asked about national identity and its most prominent constituents through the method of international sample. After analyzing the results, the study concluded the following:</p> <p><strong>First</strong>: Jordanian youth consider identity as the perception of membership to both Jordan and the tribe and devotion to the political regime as being the protector of this identity and its connection with their living place and way of upbringing.</p> <p><strong>Second</strong>: The most prominent constituent of identity is the regional dimension with (62%), followed by the national dimension (21%), and finally the religions dimension (17%).</p> <p><strong>Third</strong>: The study concluded the result that there is confusion among Jordanian youth in regard to the constituents of identity, its local and national concept and the degree of perception.</p> <p>The study recommended the necessity for the preparation of joint programs between the public sector and the institutions of civil society in order to create common distributors within the Jordanian collective sensation for one identity that reinforces membership to both society and identity simultaneously.</p>
“Hypercitizenship” And The Evolution Of A Global Identity
Authors: Pitasi Andrea , Angrisani Mariarosalba 
Published: February 2016

<p>The idea of the paper moves from the consideration of autonomous agents and global flows eventually converging by means of autopoietic systems.</p><p>This work reframes the topic of the reconfiguration in the evolving social scenarios within Pitasi’s concept of HYPERCITIZENSHIP, sketched out by designing a muldimensional and multipolar convergence among different kinds of citizenship.</p><p>With its four conceptual dimensions, Hypercitizenship, features the strategic attitude of those areas in which capitalism is turning into turbogenetic capitalism. Its main features are the following: Cosmopolitan, scientific, societarian and entrepreneurial.</p><p>The Hypercitizenship concept is focused on the fact that communication about key challenges of our times is increasingly meaning communication and public understanding of science and technology for governance and policymaking on a global, glocal and cosmopolitan scale.</p><p>From this point of view, law becomes one of the <em>à la carte</em> products to be bought by browsing a global "catalogue" (Mundus) surfing on a technological global platform (Globus) of which the internet is the best metaphor and which can be seen as the most important platform for convergence developments and as a driver of several, key, changes. This new media platform is cosmopolitan and glocal while the mass media often still fall into the methodological nationalism trap. Indeed, the emerging scenarios are more and more shaped by supranational (UN, EU, NAFTA) or multinational (Standard &amp; Poor’s, Moody’s…) entities and by new localisms which cannot survive outside a global network. </p><p>Thus, the emerging <em>glocality</em> is witnessing that the “national state” citizenship is too big -bureaucratically speaking-, but too small -in competitive terms-, to be strategic in the merging scenarios.</p><p>Hence, the importance of a new conception of citizenship in the glocal age is rising, which we refer to as “Hypercitizenship”.</p>
AFL Umpires: Brand and Reputation

<p>The Australian Football League (AFL) acknowledges a potentially serious branding problem in relation to umpires. It is struggling to meet the operational demands of providing enough umpires to officiate in non-professional competitions administrated by the AFL.</p><p> </p><p>It is believed AFL umpires have a poor reputation among the general public. This may provide a barrier to take up and present a significant source of motivational conflict for aspiring umpires. In particular this situation presents a challenge for marketing campaigns trying to recruit new umpires. The long term impact is significant, since without umpires at the grass roots level the future sustainability of AFL is brought into question.</p><p> </p><p>This paper aims to determine the umpires’ reputation and how this may impact on the AFL’s ability to effectively market the need for and recruit umpires in non-professional leagues.

Class, Race, Credibility, and Authenticity within the Hip-Hop Music Genre
Authors: Hodgman Matthew R. 
Published: February 2016

<p>After its advent in the 1970s, the rap music genre was represented almost exclusively by male black artists who honestly and realistically embodied a poor urban image. Images of black urban poverty in music videos and rap lyrics were consistently used by black artists to emphasize and authenticate who they were and where they came from. With the upsurge of white rap acts starting in the early 90s and continuing through the early 21<sup>st</sup> century, the means by which rap authenticity is measured have been permanently renegotiated. Before the emergence of white rappers, race was the primary signifier of rapper authenticity. After the success of white rappers such as Eminem new parameters of what constitute credibility and authenticity in the rap genre have been forged. This article discusses the significance of the continued presence of white rappers in hip-hop in terms of class and race in relation to artistic credibility within the rap genre. On a larger scale, this article considers questions related to cultural interloping upon a racially concentrated art form. It is concluded that class has generally emerged as the premier indicator or variable of authenticity throughout rap. </p>

<p><em>Transport remains one of the major infrastructural facilities critical for sustainable economic growth and development of any nation including Nigeria. This paper examined public spending on transport infrastructure and economic growth in Nigeria. The study employed the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression method to analyze the data collected. The data analyzed show that public spending on transport infrastructure is negatively related to growth and insignificant. The study recommended that government must ensure adequate funding of transport sector. And that fiscal responsibility laws be properly implemented to ensure greater accountability and prudence in the funds allocated to transport sector. This would go a long way to boost employment, sustainable economic growth and development in Nigeria.</em></p>

Resistivity was determined in two sites located in the district of Douala III (Bomkoul and Ngoma) 6 km west of the main town on the left bank of the Wouri River. The choice of these neighbourhood is as a result on the one hand, the presence of clay deposits from which sections have helped to configure resistivity data with those of geoelectric sections, and on the other hand, by the ability to extend the measuring device over great distances without being hindered by urbanization. The depths of investigation range from a minimum of 30 m and a maximum of 120 m. The results show a wide variability in resistivity values throughout the study area; it may be related to the high variability of facies described on sections by diggers. This variability may be due to the complexity of deposits recorded in the Douala sedimentary basin and also because of the presence of water in both sandy and clay sediments due to climate. The suggested resistivity is between 20 and 600ohm.m for clays and greater than 1000 ohm.m for sand. Given the weak thickness of some layers, the cancellation phenomena that affect very thin layers between two layers of different geoelectric properties of the latter have been observed, thus assigning to clay layers, sand resistivity.</span>
Perspectiva de los jóvenes sobre seguridad y privacidad en las redes sociales.
Authors: Rodríguez García Lorena , Magdalena Benedito José Rafael 
Published: February 2016

Actualmente las generaciones más jóvenes conviven plenamente con el mundo virtual. A pesar de las ventajas que puede aportarles el uso de las nuevas tecnologías, especialmente de las redes sociales, no están exentas de peligros que principalmente afectan a la privacidad y seguridad de los internautas, en especial de los usuarios más jóvenes. Este estudio pretende conocer y analizar distintos aspectos sobre seguridad y privacidad de los jóvenes cuando emplean las redes sociales. Se ha empleado una metodología basada en la aplicación de un cuestionario a 170 adolescentes de 12 a 16 años, mediante el cual se ha percibido un cierto desconocimiento de los mecanismos de protección y privacidad que ofrecen las redes sociales. Además, se ha observado una falta de conciencia y sensibilización acerca de los problemas que puede llegar a ocasionar un mal uso de estas herramientas tanto a su intimidad personal como a su propia imagen.
La radio glocal cross-media: la alternativa ante la reducción de espacios de proximidad local en la radio convencional
Authors: Serna José María Chomón 
Published: February 2016

Palabras clave: Información, Proximidad, Radio-periódico, Inmediatez, Cross-media, Transmedia ResumenLas cadenas radiofónicas españolas, Ser, Onda Cero, Cope y RNE (Radio 5 Todo Noticias) compiten por la reducción de la proximidad local, sin reparar en las consecuencias y fijando como objetivo los recortes económicos.Las cadenas radiofónicas, mediante un proceso de mimetismo, aplican una misma pauta de programación local, y tienden a instaurar un nuevo modelo radiofónico: la “radio-periódico”. Este modelo supone la pérdida de dos de las principales características de la radio: la inmediatez y la cercanía.La estrategia de reducción de contenidos locales no supone en este contexto una contradicción si se compensa mediante las herramientas que propicien que el “prosumer” acceda a contenidos “glocales”, facilitando la actividad cross-media y el relato transmedia. Keywords: Information, Proximity, Radio-newspaper, Immediacy, Cross-media, Transmedia AbstractThe Spanish radio stations Ser, Onda Cero, Cope and RNE (Radio 5 Todo Noticias) compete for the reduction of local proximity, without thinking about the consequences and setting the economic cutbacks as the only objective.The radio stations, through a mimicry process, make use of the same pattern of local schedule, having established a new radio model: the radio-newspaper. This model means the loss of two of the main radio features: The immediacy and the nearness.The reduction of local content strategy does not mean, in this context, a contradiction if it is offsetting by the tools that propitiate the access of the "prosumer" to "glocal" contents, making easier the cross-media activity and the transmedia stories.
