Several months prior to the presentation of this paper at the 2021 Vienna Lecture in Canadian Studies, I invited Canadian Studies students at the University of Vienna to participate in CANADA IS…WHAT?! by sharing some of their “thoughts and impressions, dreams and nightmares, images and memories, hopes, fears and random musings about this place called Canada.” I then engaged participant contributions through a performative artistic self-reflection on the intersections of family history and national memory. This paper is the product of that exploration and is framed as a conversation between me, a second-generation settler-Canadian of Dutch descent, and an audience of faculty and students at the Centre for Canadian Studies at the University of Vienna.

Cellulosic paper (from wood fibers) is a highly flammable material that is used in corrugated carboard, packaging, printing, and construction. While there is significant work focused on depositing a flame retardant coating onto the individual wood pulp fibers, there are very few studies that apply flame retardant coatings to already-cast paper. In an effort to improve the flame retardant properties of paper, a polymer-dense coacervate composed of polyethylenimine (PEI) and poly(sodium phosphate) (PSP) was deposited in a single step and subsequently crosslinked with glutaraldehyde. In a vertical flame test, the crosslinked PEI/PSP coacervate-coated paper achieves self-extinguishing behavior, and an average char length of 3.4 in, with only a 35% weight gain. Additionally, the crosslinked coating retains its flame retardant properties after water immersion and conditioning tests. This coacervate system is the first polymeric coating to be successfully deposited onto commercially available cellulosic paper for the purpose of flame retardancy.

The Sao Paulo Network Program of Teacher Training (RedeFor) of the Secretary of Education of Sao Paulo State /Brazil, has proposed in partnership with the Sao Paulo State University, the continuing education for teachers of the State public school system, through specialization courses, about Inclusive and Special Education, in the distance learning modality. In order to meet an audience of 1.600 teachers, seven courses were implemented from 2014 to 2015, amongst which is the course of Special Education, with a total workload of 444 hours spread between activities in the Virtual Learning Environment of UNESP, internships, In-Person Meetings as well as preparation and presentation of scientific papers. After the completion of disciplines and In-Person Meetings, in 2015 were created 55 groups for the guidance of academic papers, where each supervisor had to perform the online pedagogical mediation of 10 to 20 course participants for the preparation of a scientific paper. It is intended to discuss in this article the aspects present in two scientific papers developed within the course, which addressed the discussion about the beginning teachers and curriculum for the development of Special Education within the Inclusive perspective. The results demonstrate that this specialization course brought important elements to the axis of participant's reflections, so that Special Education can really be strengthened in an inclusive perspective, in the public schools of Sao Paulo. Keywords: Academic papers. Teacher training. Special and inclusive education.

The image of nursing is impoverished since the hundred years of professional identity of this age-old profession. Nursing image among the public is relying on the image of nursing in media. Nurses are vital members of the health care team and work tirelessly to provide quality care to the patient. A professional image is pivotal to motivate people to have nursing as a career choice. Nurses are central resources of any health institution and their role as a carer is crucial to push the quality of care and health outcomes of health services. Nurses are known to work with compassion and competence with the patient’s best interest in mind having good academic knowledge and understanding of their work with evidence-based practice. Nurses facing an identity crisis as professional and likely sources are neglecting behavior of media and public image of nursing as assistant of physicians. The nursing profession is facing new challenges part from biased policies of the government, on the public forum as an independent professional. Keywords: Nursing, Professionalism, Media, Society, Image, Physicians.

Resumo: Este artigo se propoe a analisar tres tipos de estruturas sintaticas com o verbo acabar em portugues do Brasil: aquelas com o verbo acabar seguido de oracao cujo verbo esta no gerundio ( eu acabei escrevendo o artigo ); aquelas em que o mesmo verbo e seguido de preposicao por e oracao infinitiva ( eu acabei por escrever o artigo ); e aquelas em que o verbo e seguido de um CP finito ( acabou que eu escrevi o artigo ). As tres estruturas veiculam um sentido proximo: um conjunto de circunstâncias ou eventos subentendidos ou mencionados no contexto culminam ou causam o evento expresso pela oracao que segue o verbo acabar , e nas tres construcoes o verbo acabar comporta-se como tipico verbo de alcamento. O trabalho defende que, no contexto sintatico desses tres tipos de complemento frasal, o significado da raiz do verbo acabar inclua um superevento, chamemo-lo S, que reune o conjunto de circunstâncias ou eventos referidos acima, e estabelece que tal conjunto culmina ou causa o evento (ou um estado resultante ou associado a tal evento) veiculado pela oracao complemento. O texto tambem mostra que os diferentes complementos frasais podem estabelecer relacoes temporais distintas entre a culminacao do superevento S e o tempo do evento expresso pela oracao subordinada, e tambem tem propriedades sintaticas distintas, como a possibilidade ou nao de topicalizacoes ou focalizacao contrastiva dentro da oracao subordinada, em sua periferia esquerda. Palavras-chave: verbos aspectuais; verbos alcamento; semântica temporal; periferia esquerda. Abstract: This article aims to analyze three types of syntactic structures with the verb acabar in Brazilian Portuguese: those with the verb acabar followed by a gerund clause ( eu acabei escrevendo o artigo – I ended up writing the paper ); those in which the same verb is followed by the preposition por and an infinitive clause ( eu acabei por escrever o artigo – I ended up writing the paper (I finished for write the paper) ); and those in which the verb is followed by a finite CP ( acabou que eu escrevi o artigo – I ended up writing the paper (finished that I wrote the paper) ). The three structures convey a close meaning, which includes a set of circumstances or events implied or mentioned in the context that culminates or causes the event expressed by the clause following the verb acabar , and in the three constructions the verb acabar behaves as a typical raising verb. The work argues that in the syntactic context of these three types of phrasal complement the meaning of the root of the verb acabar includes a superevent, let us call it S , which brings together the set of circumstances or events referred to above, and establishes that such set culminates or causes the event (or a state resulting or associated with such an event) conveyed by the complement clause. The paper also shows that the different phrasal complements can establish distinct temporal relationships between the culmination of the superevent S and the time of the event expressed by the subordinate clause, and also have distinct syntactic properties, such as the possibility of topicalization or contrastive focusing within the subordinate clause, in its left periphery. Keywords: aspectual verbs; raising verbs; tense semantics; left periphery.

espanolEste ensayo se centra en el concepto de distanciamiento en la fenomenologia hermeneutica y su relevancia para la comprension de las dimensiones utopicas y distopicas en So Far From God (1993) de Ana Castillo y The People of Paper de Salvador Plascencia (2005), dos novelas postmodernas que perciben la historia Chicana oblicuamente. Analizo como los distanciamientos en estas novelas abren posibles mundos culturales que ayudan a los lectores a interpretar tradiciones historicas nuevas y/o extranas. Los distanciamientos en So Far From God de Ana Castillo modelan la esperanza de una identidad Chicana espiritual, activista, queer y emergente, mientras que los distanciamientos en The People of Paper de Salvador Plascencia modelan una cosmovision neoliberal distopica escondida detras de representaciones kitsch que descontextualizan la identidad Chicana. Aunque aparentemente opuestas, ambas visiones del mundo cultural emergen a traves de rupturas que ocurren entre mundos reales y posibles que ofrecen los distanciamientos de las identidades e historias Chicanas en las novelas. EnglishThis essay focuses on the concept of distanciation in hermeneutic phenomenology and its relevance to an understanding of the utopian and dystopian dimensions in Ana Castillo’s So Far From God (1993) and Salvador Plascencia’s The People of Paper (2005), two postmodern novels that perceive Chicanx history aslant. I analyze how distanciations in these novels open possible cultural worlds that aid readers in interpreting new and/or estranging historical traditions. Ultimately, the distanciations in Ana Castillo’s So Far From God pattern the hope for an emergent queer Chicanx spiritual-activist identity, while the distanciations in Salvador Plascencia’s The People of Paper pattern a dystopic neoliberal worldview hidden behind decontextualzed kitchy representations of Chicanx identity. Although seemingly opposed, both cultural worldviews emerge through ruptures that occur between actual and possible worlds afforded by the novels’ distanciations of Chicanx identities and histories. Keywords: Postmodern Chicanx Literature, Distanciation, Estrangement, Hermeneutic Phenomenology, Utopia

International audience; The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Task Forces (TFs) on Quality of Life (QoL) and Patient Oriented Outcomes, Melanoma and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC) present a review of the literature and position statement on health-related (HR) QoL assessment in skin cancer patients. A literature search was carried out to identify publications since 1980 that included information about the impact of SC on QoL. Generic, dermatology-specific, cancer-specific, SC-specific, facial SC-specific, NMSC-specific, basal cell carcinoma-specific and melanoma-specific QoL questionnaires have been used to assess HRQoL in SC patients. HRQoL was assessed in the context of creation and validation of the HRQoL instruments, clinical trials, comparison of QoL in SC and other cancers, other diseases or controls, HRQoL assessment after treatment, comorbidities, behaviour modification, predictors of QoL and survival, supportive care needs, coping strategies and fear of cancer recurrence. The most widely used instruments for HRQoL assessment in SC patients are the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30), the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Melanoma (FACT-M), Skin Cancer Index (SCI), Short Form 36 Item Health Survey (SF-36) and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). The TFs recommend the use of the cancer-specific EORTC QLQ-C30, especially in late stages of disease, and the melanoma-specific FACT-M and SC-specific SCI questionnaires. These instruments have been well validated and used in several studies. Other HRQoL instruments, also with good basic validation, are not currently recommended because the experience of their use is too limited. Dermatology-specific HRQoL instruments can be used to assess the impact of skin-related problems in SC. The TFs encourage further studies to validate HRQoL instruments for use in different stages of SC, in order to allow more detailed practical recommendations on HRQoL assessment in SC.

Contains fulltext : 237435.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Objective: We evaluated reporting completeness and transparency in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) conducted using administrative data based on 2021 CONSORT Extension for Trials Conducted Using Cohorts and Routinely Collected Data (CONSORT-ROUTINE) criteria. Study Design and Setting: MEDLINE and the Cochrane Methodology Register were searched (2011 and 2018). Eligible RCTs used administrative databases for identifying eligible participants or collecting outcomes. We evaluated reporting based on CONSORT-ROUTINE, which modified eight items from CONSORT 2010 and added five new items. Results: Of 33 included trials (76% used administrative databases for outcomes, 3% for identifying participants, 21% both), most were conducted in the United States (55%), Canada (18%), or the United Kingdom (12%). Of eight items modified in the extension; six were adequately reported in a majority (>50%) of trials. For the CONSORT-ROUTINE modification portion of those items, three items were reported adequately in >50% of trials, two in

It is well recognised that adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer have inequitable access to oncology services that provide expert cancer care and consider their unique needs. Subsequently, survival gains in this patient population have improved only modestly compared with older adults and children with cancer. In 2015, the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the European Society for Paediatric Oncology (SIOPE) established the joint Cancer in AYA Working Group in order to increase awareness among adult and paediatric oncology communities, enhance knowledge on specific issues in AYA and ultimately improve the standard of care for AYA with cancer across Europe. This manuscript reflects the position of this working group regarding current AYA cancer care, the challenges to be addressed and possible solutions. Key challenges include the lack of specific biological understanding of AYA cancers, the lack of access to specialised centres with age-appropriate multidisciplinary care and the lack of available clinical trials with novel therapeutics. Key recommendations include diversifying interprofessional cooperation in AYA care and specific measures to improve trial accrual, including centralising care where that is the best means to achieve trial accrual. This defines a common vision that can lead to improved outcomes for AYA with cancer in Europe.

Metadiscourse is an important element in writing research papers. It is defined as discourse about discourse. It emphasises the fact that authors do not simply present the texts that describe the external world; they also use expressions to help readers in understanding and interpreting the information presented in the text. One of the possible metadiscourse classifications is into interactive and interactional elements, as established on Hyland’s metadiscourse model. This paper explores only interactive metadiscourse elements (transition markers, frame markers, endophoric markers, evidentials and code glosses) in order to determine their usage in English and Serbian electrical engineering research papers. The aim of the paper is to quantitatively and qualitatively present interactive metadiscourse elements found in fourteen research papers written in English and in Serbian. These expressions are compared in respect to their frequency in the papers. Results indicate that all authors use interactive metadiscourse elements, though papers in English include slightly more elements than papers in Serbian. Both groups of authors use transition markers most, followed by code glosses and endophoric markers. The most common transition markers in the English corpus include however, thus and therefore, while the Serbian corpus presents more synonyms and less repetitions, with the most common transition markers being kao i, mada, dok, međutim and takođe. In both corpuses, code glosses are almost identical, with the use of bracket with the synonym or acronym being the most frequent. Endophoric markers are more common in English than in Serbian. Being used in engineering papers, endophoric markers mainly refer to tables or figures. Evidentials are present in research papers, though more frequently in those written in English. It can be attributable to less referencing in Serbian or the lack of willingness to explicitly state citations. Most evidentials are the projection of the style, with the bracket ([xy]) referring to the reference being used the most. Frame markers are not so commonly used in the analysed electrical engineering research papers. Apart from differences and diversities, the analysis also identifies some similarities, especially in the way the authors use code glosses and evidentials, proving that authors who write in two different languages demonstrate certain similarities when researching similar topics.

espanolEn la presente investigacion se ponen de manifiesto los avances y las carencias en la lexicografia electronica, en general, y en los diccionarios electronicos de fraseologia bilingue, en particular. Para empezar, se propone una determinacion terminologica y conceptual con la intencion de diferenciar las denominaciones que suelen emplearse al trabajar con este tipo de obras. En el apartado de analisis, se realiza un estudio pormenorizado de la fraseografia electronica y en papel, disponible en espanol-catalan y otras lenguas, y se reflexiona en torno a las mejoras que podrian aplicarse con el fin de establecer las bases para la futura elaboracion de una obra de este tipo EnglishThis research aims to show the advances and the weak points of the electronic lexicography, in general, and of the electronic dictionaries of bilingual phraseology, in particular. First of all, a conceptual and terminological determination is proposed with the intention of differentiating the denominations that are usually related to this format. In the analysis section, a detailed study of the electronic and paper phraseography, available in Spanish-Catalan and other languages, is carried out. In addition, the reflection is made on the improvements that could be implemented with the purpose of establishing the bases for the future elaboration of a dictionary of this type.

espanolEn marzo de 2020, la Union Europea decidio iniciar las negociaciones de adhesion con Albania, pais candidato desde 2014. Para alcanzar este importante objetivo, en el largo camino de la integracion europea, Albania tenia que cumplir con una serie de requisitos. Entre ellos, la centralidad de los derechos humanos que afecta a la aplicacion de las politicas destinadas a integrar a las minorias, asi como a conceder derechos sociales a los ciudadanos desfavorecidos (La Cava Nanetti 2000, Solidar 2016). En este escenario, la evolucion de los conocimientos profesionales de los trabajadores sociales albaneses desempena un papel relevante. En terminos academicos y profesionales, el Trabajo Social tiene una escasa tradicion en Albania, como en la mayoria de los paises postcomunistas (Hoti 2015). Para hacer frente a las dificultades de la evolucion profesional y academica del Trabajo Social y facilitar un proceso de europeizacion de la prestacion de servicios sociales en Albania, la Comision Europea ha financiado el proyecto T@SK “Towards Increased Awareness, Responsibility and Shared Quality in Social work” (2017-2020). El objetivo principal del proyecto consiste en fortalecer la prestacion de servicios sociales en Albania mediante la potenciacion del sistema de Educacion Superior en la formacion de Trabajo Social. El consorcio incluye a todas las universidades publicas que ofrecen cursos de Grado y Master en Trabajo Social en Albania – Universidad de Tirana, Universidad de Shkoder y Universidad de Elbasan – y a la Universidad de Florencia, la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, el ISCTE de Lisboa y el Colegio (l’Ordine) Profesional de Trabajadores Sociales de la Region Toscana como instituciones de Educacion Superior de los paises del programa. El proyecto funciona a tres niveles: actualizacion teorica y empirica entre los socios del proyecto; triangulacion de conocimientos, cooperacion transdisciplinaria con las partes interesadas de la sociedad e innovacion digital; y la seleccion y difusion de las mejores practicas. El proyecto se encuentra en su etapa final, y es posible elaborar el principal marco teorico y empirico adoptado, los resultados logrados y los retos para crear un entorno favorable al desarrollo de la profesion del Trabajo Social en Albania. El articulo trata de arrojar algo de luz sobre la evolucion de las practicas de Trabajo Social en Albania, centrandose en los antecedentes sociales y culturales del pais y describiendo los principales logros del proyecto T@SK. EnglishIn March 2020, the European Union decided to open accession negotiations with Albania, candidate country since 2014. In order to achieve this important goal in the long path of European integration, Albania had to pursue a set of requirements. Among them, the centrality of human rights affects the implementation of policies aiming at integrating minorities, as well as at granting social rights to unprivileged citizens (La Cava Nanetti 2000, Solidar 2016). In this scenario, the evolution of the professional expertise of Albanian social workers plays a relevant role. In academic and professional terms, social work has a poor tradition in Albania, as in most of post-communist countries (Hoti 2015). In order to face the difficulties of the professional and academic evolution of social work and to facilitate a process of Europeanisation of the Social Services delivery in Albania, the European Commission has funded the project T@sk Towards Increased Awareness, Responsibility and Shared Quality in Social work (2017-2020). The main aim of the project consists in strengthening the delivery of Social Services in Albania through the empowerment of the Higher Education system in social work. The consortium includes all public universities offering BA and MA courses in social work in Albania – University of Tirana, University of Shkoder and University of Elbasan –, and the University of Florence, the UCM of Madrid, the ISCTE of Lisbon and the Professional Order of Social workers of the Tuscany Region as Higher Education institutions of the program countries. The project operates at three levels: peer-to peer theoretical and empirical update amongst the project partners; triangulation of knowledge, transdisciplinary cooperation with the societal stakeholders and digital innovation; selection and dissemination of best practices. The project was concluded in December 2020 and it is possible to elaborate on the main theoretical and empirical framework adopted, on the results achieved, and on the challenges to create a favorable environment for the development of social work profession in Albania. The article sheds light in the pattern of evolution of social work practices in Albania, focusing on the social and cultural background of the country, and describing the main achievements of the T@sk project.

ObjectiveTo describe characteristics of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted using electronic health records (EHRs), including completeness and transparency of reporting assessed against the 2021 CONSORT Extension for RCTs Conducted Using Cohorts and Routinely Collected Data (CONSORT-ROUTINE) criteria.Study DesignMEDLINE and Cochrane Methodology Register were searched for a sample of RCTs published from 2011–2018. Completeness of reporting was assessed in a random sample using a pre-defined coding form.ResultsOf the 183 RCT publications identified, 122 (67%) used EHRs to identify eligible participants, 139 (76%) used the EHR as part of the intervention and 137 (75%) to ascertain outcomes. When 60 publications were evaluated against the CONSORT 2010 item and the corresponding extension for the 8 modified items, four items were 'adequately reported' for most trials. Five new reporting items were identified for the CONSORT-ROUTINE extension; when evaluated, one was ‘adequately reported’, three were reported ‘inadequately or not at all’, the other ‘partially’. There were, however, some encouraging signs with adequate and partial reporting of many important items, including descriptions of trial design, the consent process, outcome ascertainment and interpretation.ConclusionAspects of RCTs using EHRs are sub-optimally reported. Uptake of the CONSORT-ROUTINE Extension may improve reporting.

Bu makale, tıp ve sağlık bilimleri alanında küresel olarak bilgi alışverişine büyük talep olması nedeniyle tıbbi dergilerin uluslararası dergilerde çevrilmesine odaklanmaktadır. Bu ise beraberinde özellikle uzak dil ve kültürler arasında çevirilere son halini verecek anadili İngilizce olan profesyonel çevirmenlerin bulunmaması nedeniyle uluslararası akademik dergilerde ortaya çıkan çeviri sorununu gündeme getirmektedir. Çevirinin doğal olarak yönünün yabancı dilden anadile doğru olmasına ve özgün bilginin en iyi ana dilde üretilmesine karşın bilimsel arenada değişen koşullar günümüzde çevirinin yönünü anadilden hedef dile çevirmiştir. Bu nedenle ilk olarak, çeviri ve çeviride optimizasyon kavramı hem kuramsal olarak hem de uygulama açısından tartışılarak yazar ve alan uzmanı olmayan profesyonel çevirmenleri bekleyen engeller tıp ve sağlık bilimleri alanındaki makalelerden seçilen örneklerle açıklanacaktır. İkinci olarak “akışkan ilerleyen” bir çeviri modeli çerçevesinde tıp makaleleri esas alınarak hem dilsel hem de çeviri işlemleri açısından sorgulanmış ve çevirinin en üst düzeye erişene dek hangi aşamalardan geçtiği örnekleriyle sunulmuştur. Sonuç olarak bu yazı çeviri etkinliğini tıp ve sağlık bilimleri alanında yayınlanan dergilerde kaçınılmaz bir sorumluluk olarak konumlandırmayı ve iş bölümüne dayalı bir görev anlayışı içerisinde kurumsallaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır., This paper focusses on the translation of medical papers in international journals since there is a huge demand for the global exchange of knowledge in the field of medicine and health sciences. This brings forth the issue of translation in academic journals, especially in distant cultures, where it is difficult to find natural speakers and professional translators to edit and optimize the last version of the papers. Although the direction of translation is normally considered from Language 2 to Language 1, it has changed its course from language 1 to Language 2 in face of changing conditions in scientific arena even if the knowledge is best produced in one’s mother tongue. Accordingly, this paper first discusses the concept of translation both theoretically and in practice to explain the barriers awaiting the Turkish authors and professional translators who are not specialist in the field of medical sciences through the examples selected from the medical academic journals. Second, it questions both linguistic and translation procedures in consideration for the textual features of the medical papers within the framework of a scrolling-down translation model to exemplify what stages translation should undergo in reaching the optimal level. Finally, this paper aims to position the translation activity as an indispensable responsibility of international journals of medical sciences and institutionalize it as a task based on the division of labor.

Electron beam lithography (EBL) was used for preparing nanostructured reduced patterns on the GO paper surface, while preserving its mechanical resistance and flexibility. Different EBL parameters, like dose and time of exposure for patterning were tested. SEM analysis showed the consequent increase of contrast of the reduced stripes on the patterned regions due to the increase of electron beam doses. Moreover, surface potential microscopy experiments also exhibited a clear contrast between the patterned and non-patterned regions. Structural analysis of the patterned paper through X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation showed that the interlayer distance between GO sheets decreases after reduction allowing the increase of the Hardness and Young modulus that makes this material able to be manipulated and integrated on different devices. Furthermore, we also observe that exposed areas to electron beam reduction process show an increase in the electrical conductivity up to 3 × 104 times. The developed flexible GO films can have interesting applications such as biosensors or templates for inducing tissue regeneration, by providing a surface with differently patterned cues with contrasting electron mobility. Preliminary in vitro studies with L929 fibroblasts support the cytocompatible nature of this patterned GO paper., Gil Gonçalves thanks the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia for the PostDoc grant (SFRH/BDP/84419/2012).

Richard Cardinal is a Metis boy from Fort Chipewyan. He now resides in the spirit world, along with many other Aboriginal children, after hanging himself from a birch tree in Alberta in the backyard of his sixteenth foster home. Richard is not forgotten, but reminds advocates for Metis children, Aboriginal children, all children, that we are in the midst of an ongoing crisis when it comes to caring for “removed” children. Not unlike many children in the care of the state today, Richard had been removed from his parents, removed from his home community, and finally separated from his siblings without his consent. He was placed in twenty eight different living situations: these included sixteen foster homes, twelve group homes and locked facilities, as well as time spent on the street while trying to escape from abusive foster parents. He died at age seventeen. It was a Metis organization that brought Richard’s plight into the public eye. The abuse, degradation, and inhumanity endured by this Metis child was exposed. However, in spite of his suffering, he was ostracized in the system for being difficult, while he became more and more suicidal.

В центре статьи – новые практики самоорганизации и peer-to-peer (P2P) кооперации потребителей в рамках интернет-сообществ: от бесплатной передачи незнакомым людям и/или получения от них излишних продуктов питания и вещей до совместного потребления благ на основе временного доступа (P2P онлайн-аренда вещей, жилья во время путешествий, карпулинг). Эти практики осмысливаются в контексте изменения качественных характеристик и роли гражданского общества в цифровую эпоху. С этой целью в теоретико-методологической части (статья 1) рассматривается феномен усиления власти потребителей (consumer power) в цифровую эпоху, его факторы, барьеры и риски. Предлагается гипотетическое представление о характере соприкосновения интернет-технологий и «нецифрового» гражданского общества, усилении на этой основе социально-экономической роли последнего за счет развития Р2Р практик потребителей в онлайн-формате. Тестированию гипотез посвящена статья 2.

В первой – теоретико-методологической – статье (№ 11, 2020) обсуждались феномен усиления власти потребителей (consumer power) в цифровую эпоху, его факторы, барьеры, риски и характер соприкосновения интернет-технологий и гражданского общества. Во второй статье впервые представлены данные результатов всероссийского репрезентативного исследования уровня реального и потенциального включения россиян в разные виды онлайн-peer-to-peer (Р2Р) практик. Оцениваются связи между вероятностью включения в них, с одной стороны, и просоциальными характеристиками и интернет-активностью потребителей – с другой. Показано, что развитие онлайн-практик потребления не есть результат, лежащий сугубо на стороне интернет-технологий. Чаще это синтез развития цифровых технологий с более широкими (и не всегда заметными) сдвигами в нецифровой среде – развитием гражданского общества (как формально организованного, так и неорганизованного). Однако эффект «социального пробуждения» благодаря Интернету также имеет место.

As mudancas macroeconomicas, principalmente em periodos de crise, acabam afetando as operacoes das empresas. Afim de analisar esse fenomeno, esta pesquisa procurou analisar o impacto da crise, atraves das variaveis macroeconomicas (PIB, Taxa SELIC TR e Inflacao IPCA), referentes aos indicadores financeiros (Margem EBITDA, ROE e ROA) das empresas do segmento de papel e celulose que negociam seus papeis na bolsa de valores Brasil, Bolsa, Balcao (B3), no periodo de 2010 a 2017.

London Convention on the prevention of marine pollution by dumping of wastes and other matter prohibits the deliberate disposal of paper mill sludges at sea. In order to explore the alternative plan on the prohibition of sludge disposal at sea, the biodegradable seedling pot was developed by mixing the sludge with old newspaper (ONP) in appropriate mixing ratios. The C/N ratio of the mixed sludge was below 20, leading to rapid deterioration of the organic matters composing the seedling pot. The increased ONP contents in the seedling pot resulted in the increase of pot thickness and thereafter in the decrease of pot density. Cellulose fibers in ONP promoted water absorption of the pot but AKD addition helped the seedling pot to repel water during raising seedling. Breaking length and burst strength of the seedling pot were improved by addition of wet strength additives but air permeability was a little diminished. Biodegradable rate of the seedling pot in a soil was accelerated by the attack of soil microbes at the beginning, and finally the pot was completely degraded in 150 days in a soil.

Floods kill several people every year in both developed and developing countries. The transfer of research findings from the academic community to practitioners, policy-makers and citizens may reduce the impact of floods on mortality. This systematic review analyzes 44 scientific articles extracted from WOS and SCOPUS databases written in English, published between 2010 and 2020, and focuses on flood fatalities. The first main finding of this review is the classification of drivers of flood mortality into two groups: the first group relates to the environment and the second group relates to the victims. The second main finding is the identification of strategies to practically cope with the identified drivers of flood fatalities. The main lacks of the review concern: a) the unavailability of papers based on flood fatality occurrence in developing countries and b) the absence of data focusing on people who have survived floods. This review amplifies useful findings, best practices, and lessons learned that can be useful for administrators, risk managers, and teachers of primary and secondary schools to mitigate the impact of future floods on human life.

‪Cet article offre une reflexion inscrite dans la longue duree de l’histoire institutionnelle des economies de l’Afrique de l’epoque antique jusqu’au XIVe siecle. Il est axe sur l’utilisation des instruments en papier, c’est-a-dire tout document servant a faciliter les echanges et la delegation de droits, de propriete et de capital. De l’Egypte pharaonique a l’Afrique medievale occidentale, l’article met en lumiere l’utilisation des instruments papiers, et particulierement ceux usites dans les transactions financieres. Les juristes musulmans de l’epoque medievale decrivent et souvent debattent les parametres des contrats, y compris les agrements financiers. A partir d’une lecture d’un manuscrit mauritanien, l’article passe en revue les opinions des juristes sur la legalite du cheque ou forme de paiement a long terme, connu sous le nom de souftaja. Cette etude des economies papier met en exergue les contributions africaines a l’histoire economique mondiale.‪

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The treatment landscape for older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is evolving. Many treatments have comparable efficacy making their impact on quality of life (QoL) an important differentiating factor. In this review, we discuss QoL in older adults with AML, focusing on therapeutic and observational trials that have incorporated QoL assessments. FINDINGS: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a multi-dimensional concept incorporating physical, mental, emotional, and social functioning domains. HRQoL components overlap with components of geriatric assessment, a multidisciplinary diagnostic process that identifies underlying vulnerabilities of older adults and guides subsequent management strategies. HRQoL questionnaires may be general, cancer-specific, leukemia-specific, or symptom-focused. Therapeutic and observational cohort studies suggest HRQoL improves, or at least remains stable, during intensive and lower intensity therapies. Nonetheless, HRQoL is not routinely incorporated in AML therapeutic trials. SUMMARY: HRQoL assessments can inform both decision-making and management for older adults with AML.

The objective of this research is to analyze how YouTube has been studied in the field of Internet and politics. The focus is received on two axes: i) as specificities of temporal and regional distribution and ii) as objects of study and as theoretical approaches most used in 90 articles and articles located in the field and published in Brazil, between 2005 and 2019, indexed to Google Scholar. The methodology consists in the combination of Bibliometry and Content Analysis. The data pointed that the production on YouTube at I&P grew from 2011 and that the southeast, south and northeast regions are the production centers on the analyzed theme. Also, election campaigns are found as the main object. Finally, political strategy / identity and citizenship and sociability are the two most widely used theoretical approaches in the analyzed universe.

Persaingan di industri yang semakin ketat, mendorong perusahaan untuk lebih mengembangkan dan mencari cara agar proses produksi dapat berjalan efisien dan efektif. Salah satu produk yang dihasilkan oleh perusahaan adalah writing dan printing paper recycle (WPR) yang berusaha menekan angka defect yang dirasakan masih tinggi. Six sigma sebagai salah satu tool dalam peningkatan kualitas dengan target 3,4 kegagalan per sejuta kesempatan untuk setiap transaksi setiap produk barang dan jasa dengan mengaplikasikan siklus define, measure, analysis, improve, dan control (DMAIC) yang bersifat teknik pengendalian dan peningkatan kualitas dalam bidang manajemen kualitas. Dengan menggunakan metode six sigma, kualitas WPR dan dihasilkan perusahaan cukup baik yaitu 3,19 sigma dengan tingkat defect 45.005 untuk sejuta produksi (DPMO). Implementasi peningkatan six sigma pada penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa terdapat 5 (lima) faktor yang menyebabkan defect yaitu dirtcount sebanyak 41.670 ton, gramature sebanyak 32.103 ton, caliper sebanyak 30.799 ton, brightness sebanyak 28.909 ton, coppsize sebanyak 26.911 ton. Diantara kelima jenis defect yang dihasilkan, faktor dirtcount adalah penyebab dominan. Dengan six sigma dapat diketahui juga bahwa indeks Cpm sebesar 2,6140 yang berarti bahwa perusahaan dianggap kompetitif dalam persaingan. &nbsp

Heart failure is a global public health challenge frequently presenting to the emergency department. After initial stabilization and management, one of the most important decisions is to determine which patients can be safely discharged and which require hospitalization. This is a complex decision that depends on numerous subjective factors, including both the severity of the patient's underlying condition and an estimate of the acuity of the presentation. An emergency department observation period may help select the correct option. Ideally, during an observation period, risk stratification should be carried out using parameters specifically designed for use in the emergency department. Unfortunately, there is little objective literature to guide this disposition decision. An objective and reliable definition of low-risk characteristics to identify early discharge candidates is needed. Benchmarking outcomes in patients discharged from the emergency department without hospitalization could aid this process. Biomarker determinations, although undoubtedly useful in establishing diagnosis and predicting longer-term prognosis, require prospective validation for emergency department disposition guidance. The challenge of identifying emergency department acute heart failure discharge candidates will only be overcome by future multidisciplinary research defining the current knowledge gaps and identifying potential solutions.
