Purpose – The core of this study is women in mining. The aim of this study was to analyze the perception of women, about their work environment, their career, the human resources policies and practices and the work–family balance in the context of a multinational organization in the sector. Design/methodology/approach – The case study was carried through semi-structured interviews with 27 women who work in this organization. Findings – Although women report that they are capable of exercising any position/function in the company, they perceive wage gap in the investigated organization; that maternity leave and the fact of having children impact their career and their rise to higher positions in the organizational hierarchy negatively; situations of prejudice and discrimination experienced at work. Sometimes subtly, sometimes not so subtly, but they still constitute barriers faced by women in mining. Originality/value – Although the debate around the issue of gender inequality in organizations is not recent, little has been produced about the working condition of women in occupational fields where male domination is strong, such as mining.

Objective: this study analyzes the theory of digital leadership, comparing it with other related theories in the field. This work results from 15 years of reflections by a group of researchers who have been studying leadership in Brazil. The question that guided this study was: Are new leadership attributes necessary, or will individuals capable of leading in the 4.0 Revolution combine existing attributes found in the literature? Methods: this is a theoretical study that provides a critical and comparative review of some theories in the field of leadership. Results: digital leadership reinforces several attributes highlighted in previous theories, whether in behavioral approach, by emphasizing the leader’s importance in creating conditions for people’s development; in relational theory, by establishing trust relationships with people, creating multilateral relational networks; in transformational theory, by articulating a collective vision legitimized by followers; or in situational theory, by being able to adapt to rapidly changing contexts. Therefore, the theory of digital leadership does not add anything really new. Conclusions: ‘digital leadership’ is a combination of behavioral, transformational, relational, and situational attributes with the addition of contextual variables from the 4.0 Revolution.

During 2015–2016, Cape Verde, an island nation off the coast of West Africa, experienced a Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak involving 7,580 suspected Zika cases and 18 microcephaly cases. Analysis of the complete genomes of 3 ZIKV isolates from the outbreak indicated the strain was of the Asian (not African) lineage. The Cape Verde ZIKV sequences formed a distinct monophylogenetic group and possessed 1–2 (T659A, I756V) unique amino acid changes in the envelope protein. Phylogeographic and serologic evidence support earlier introduction of this lineage into Cape Verde, possibly from northeast Brazil, between June 2014 and August 2015, suggesting cryptic circulation of the virus before the initial wave of cases were detected in October 2015. These findings underscore the utility of genomic-scale epidemiology for outbreak investigations.

O uso de água salina na produção de hortaliças é um dos principais desafios dos produtores, visto que o estresse salino causa diminuição na produção e rendimento das culturas. Diante do exposto, objetivou-se avaliar crescimento de plantas de rúcula sob níveis de salinidade da água de irrigação. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, sendo os tratamentos cinco níveis de condutividade elétrica da água de irrigação (0,5; 1,5; 2,5; 3,5 e 4,5 dS m-1). O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado. Os fatores resultaram em 5 tratamentos com cinco repetições e uma planta por parcela, totalizando 25 unidades experimentais. Aos 43 dias após a semeadura, as plantas de rúcula foram avaliadas quanto ao número de folhas, altura de plantas, área foliar, massa fresca da parte aérea e das raízes, e massa seca da parte aérea e das raízes. Foi constatado que níveis crescentes de salinidade da água de irrigação afeta o crescimento das plantas de rúcula. As plantas tiveram as maiores médias dos caracteres avaliados alcançadas no nível de salinidade de 0,5 dS m-1, reduzindo linearmente ao ser irrigada com salinidade de até 4,5 dS m-1.

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar parte dos resultados obtidos na investigação realizada no programa de doutoramento em educação, pela Universidade Aberta de Portugal, no período entre 2016 a 2019, tendo como tema: A Escola Confessional – O Desafio de Preservar a Missão e o Desenvolvimento de Valores na Educação – Um Estudo na Rede Marista. Buscou-se compreender o desafio de preservar a missão e o desenvolvimento de valores no âmbito da educação confessional. O estudo foi desenvolvido em Portugal e no Brasil, em duas escolas da Rede Marista de Educação, sendo uma localizada na cidade de São Paulo e outra em Lisboa. Utilizou-se uma metodologia mista de análise de dados quantitativos e qualitativos, obtidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas aplicadas para a liderança da instituição e de inquérito por questionário aplicado ao corpo docente. Para ambos os instrumentos definiu-se como variáveis os eixos temáticos a) Confessionalidade, b) Liderança e c) Contexto. Os resultados indicam que os diversos níveis de liderança continuam bastante alinhados com a Missão e os Valores da Instituição, havendo ainda desafios e necessidade de alinhamentos entre as instâncias de gestão e o corpo docente, bem como algumas oportunidades para a consolidação da Rede em suas dimensões internacionais, com vistas ao fortalecimento da atuação global.

This study presents a learning-oriented assessment experience and examines the impact of communication and relationships on student satisfaction and on the acceptance of self- and peer-assessment. To this end, an analysis was conducted based on the data collected from engineering students in a subject with a high degree of creativity. The answers of online surveys (n = 180) were examined by using the structural equation modelling technique (SEM). The results indicate that effective, frequent, and timely communication and quality relationships play an important role in ensuring that formative assessment, based on teamwork, feedback and self- and peer-assessment, is perceived as easy to implement and useful for learning and skills development, which also increases student satisfaction. In addition, these perceptions have an important impact on students' acceptance of self- and peer-assessment, although students show more confidence in the teacher's judgement and concern about the validity and reliability of their peers' marks.

The need for increased scalability, interoperability and flexibility of educational provision is driving the expansion of digital and open learning in higher education. As this movement spreads across institutions worldwide, distance education universities find themselves in a crisis. Technologyenhanced learning is now mainstream in higher education institutions and most have embraced open educational practices as well due to the great impact of MOOCs. In this new fast-growing, chaotic and unstable context, research-based expertise, a dedicated infrastructure and specially-trained staff may no longer seem required for institutions to provide distance and eLearning. Furthermore, new noninstitutional non-formal higher education providers of open online or blended learning courses and programmes are emerging as a result of community or special interest group-led initiatives. Far from the days when they stood alone as unique institutions with the unique mission to provide an innovative kind of education, distance education universities are now competing openly with other conventional universities and other educational players. In a time of continuous reduction of public expenditure in higher education, a debate has emerged on the sustainability of these institutions, especially in Europe. In this paper we analyse the new social, economical and technological challenges and opportunities which distance education universities are faced with and discuss the reinterpretation of their typical mission. We also explore existing organisational models and propose a new one based on an open network approach.

Although innovation capabilities are important drivers of export performance, few studies address how they influence export performance in the context of emerging economies. This paper evaluates the moderating effects of government institutional support and firms’ active and reactive internationalization behaviors on the relationship between innovation capabilities and export performance. The sample analyzed is based on 250 Mozambican small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The results indicate that although innovation capabilities positively influence the export performance of Mozambican SMEs, the moderating effects of government institutional support and firms’ active and reactive internationalization behaviors were not found to be statistically significant.

Abstract Background Malaria, despite being preventable and treatable, continues to be a major public health problem worldwide. The archipelago nation of Cape Verde is in a malaria pre-elimination phase with the highest potential to achieve the target goal of elimination in 2020. Methods Nationwide malaria epidemiological data were obtained from the Cape Verde health information system that includes the individual malaria case notification system from all of the country’s health structures. Each case is reported to the surveillance service then to the National Malaria Control Programme, which allowed for compilation in the national malaria case database. The database was analysed to assess the origin of the malaria cases, and incidence was calculated from 2010 to 2016 by sex and age. The health centre, health district and month of diagnosis were evaluated, as well as the sex and the age of the patients, allowing a direct descriptive analysis of national data to provide an up-to-date malaria epidemiological profile of the country. Malaria cases were classified as imported or indigenous, and then, geographical analyses were performed using a unique Geographical National Code with Quantum Geographic Information System 2.16.2 software to map the cases by municipalities. The overall temporal evolution of cases was analysed to assess their monthly and yearly variations from 2010 to 2016. Results Malaria is unstable in Cape Verde, with inter-annual variation and the majority of infections occurring in adult males (> 20 years). The indigenous cases are restricted to Santiago (96%) and Boavista (4%), while imported cases were recorded in all the nine inhabited islands, originating from neighbouring countries with ongoing malaria transmission; from Lusophone countries (25% from Angola, 25% from Guinea-Bissau), followed by the Republic of Senegal (12%) and Equatorial Guinea (10%). In 2010–2012, more imported (93 cases) than indigenous cases (26 cases) were observed; conversely, in 2013 and 2014, more indigenous cases (49) than imported cases (42) were reported. In 2015 there were 20 imported cases and only 7 indigenous cases. Finally, in 2016, there were 47 indigenous cases and 28 imported cases. The mapping of cases by municipality and country of origin was possible with GIS analyses. Conclusion While Cape Verde remains on track to achieve malaria elimination by 2020 owing to the reduction of the annual incidence to below 0.1%, the country still records cases of indigenous and imported malaria. However, the indigenous cases are exclusively confined to the Santiago and Boavista islands, while the imported cases recorded nationwide originate only from the African continent, mainly from adult men from the Lusophone countries. Cape Verde needs to target interventions to remove residual foci on Santiago and Boavista islands to reduce malaria lethality to zero and prevent its reintroduction from African countries via transmission across the archipelago. Cape Verde is a good example of local authority’s commitment to tackle malaria and work towards its elimination by strengthening the health and surveillance systems.

Experiments were carried out to analyze the effect of growth rates (VL) and cooling rates (TR) on both secondary dendritic arm spacings (λ2) and Vickers microhardness (HV) of an Al-9wt.%Si alloy during the horizontal directional solidification under transient heat flow conditions. A water-cooled solidification experimental apparatus was developed allowing a wide range of TR (from 0.2 to 3.5 ºC/s) to be experienced. Five computer guided thermocouples were connected with the metal, and the time-temperature data were recorded automatically. The solidification path was also calculated by Scheil model in Thermo-Calc software. Casting samples were characterized by the combined analyses of optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS) revealing a complex arrangement of phases including binary (α-Al + Si) and ternary (α-Al + Si + β-AlFeSi) mixtures within interdendritic regions. It was observed that power law functions characterize the variation of λ2 as a function of VL and TR with exponents of -2/3 and -1/3, respectively. Finally, experimental laws of power and Hall-Petch types are proposed relating the resulting HV to the λ2. According to these results, it was found that, for increasing values of λ2, the results of HV decrease.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ms.24.1.17319

Desde el punto de vista de la uniformidad entre la teoría y la práctica de la gestión del control interno en los sectores públicos y privados, y la estructura de COSO CIFI 2013 como base, este estudio tiene como objetivo identificar cómo las organizaciones han puesto en práctica el concepto, las d imensiones esenciales control interno y cuáles son los desafíos implicados en este proceso. A partir de la percepción de los actores organizacionales que evalúan estas cuestiones en su contexto institucional, se realizó una encuesta con el uso de la escala de medición de Likert. Los datos se analizaron de forma descriptiva y se compararon entre los sectores público y privado con la prueba de Mann - Whitney. Los resultados muestran que, en ambos segmentos, el concepto de control se identifica sobre todo con su forma funcional, lo que puede afectar la eficacia de la gestión del sistema de control, sobre todo en la definición de la rendición de cuentas sobre las acciones de control en la entidad. Los encuestados, públicas y privadas, convergen en la percepción de la ejecución relativa de las dimensiones de control relacionadas con el entorno de control y los sistemas de información y comunicación, y los principales retos visualiza la institucionalización de las actividades de gestión de riesgos, control y seguimie nto. Los resultados reflejan la dificultad de absorber y la institucionalización de los conceptos y las dimensiones centrales estructurados para los controles de gestión en las organizaciones públicas y privadas. Esta situación puede conducir a la ineficie ncia del sistema de control, implementado o diseñado, lo que genera costos sin consideración de la obtención de los beneficios relacionados con la consecución de los objetivos de la organización. La actuación en la difusión y profesionalización del segment o de gestión de controles puede constituir una de las pocas alternativas viables para evitar este escenario, ya unida de forma inseparable, la decisión de los gestores, públicos y privados de esta manera.

This paper analyzes the effects of gamification in the social network of a massive online course. An educational social-networking platform gathered information about the contributions of participants and about the social networks that were formed during the course. A gamification layer with three game elements (points, badges, and leaderboard) was then implemented in the online learning platform. Social network analysis (SNA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to analyze the differences between a treatment and a comparison group (N = 591 and N = 427), using a set of 20 variables for each participant which quantified contributions to the learning platform as well as position and influence in the social network. The results of SNA show that gamification influences the structure of the social network of the course. The results also suggest that the variables cluster similarly for each group and that the linear combination of variables called the first component (F1) is a good descriptor of students’ work and position in the network. F1 can be used to build predictive models of course completion. The models show that the probability of passing the course increases more rapidly in the treatment (gamified) group.

Lung sounds acquired by stethoscopes are extensively used in diagnosing and differentiating respiratory diseases. Although an extensive know-how has been built to interpret these sounds and identify diseases associated with certain patterns, its effective use is limited to individual experience of practitioners. This user-dependency manifests itself as a factor impeding the digital transformation of this valuable diagnostic tool, which can improve patient outcomes by continuous long-term respiratory monitoring under real-life conditions. Particularly patients suffering from respiratory diseases with progressive nature, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, are expected to benefit from long-term monitoring. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has also shown the lack of respiratory monitoring systems which are ready to deploy in operational conditions while requiring minimal patient education. To address particularly the latter subject, in this article, we present a sound acquisition module which can be integrated into a dedicated garment; thus, minimizing the role of the patient for positioning the stethoscope and applying the appropriate pressure. We have implemented a diaphragm-less acousto-electric transducer by stacking a silicone rubber and a piezoelectric film to capture thoracic sounds with minimum attenuation. Furthermore, we benchmarked our device with an electronic stethoscope widely used in clinical practice to quantify its performance.

Introduction Biologic medicines have revolutionized the treatment of many serious and chronic illnesses and they present important challenges for approval and post-market surveillance of drug safety. Pharmacovigilance is an important strategy for monitoring adverse drug events in the post-market. Drug registration is an essential element of medicine regulation. Objectives and Approach Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency, ANVISA, is responsible for drug registration and surveillance. In this work we describe the process of linkage of databases covering registration, post-approval changes, and pharmacovigilance of biological medicines in Brazil. 2.429,556 registration dossiers included in the comprehensive national drug registration database, DATAVISA, and 93,391 reports of adverse drug events in the pharmacovigilance database, NOTIVISA, were analyzed for completeness and non biologic dossiers were filtered out. Deterministic linkage technique was used to connect DATAVISA and NOTIVISA data. Results Of the DATAVISA dossiers, 188,830 were registrations and 2,240,726 records were post-approval changes. After filtering out the non-biologic dossiers, 48,144 post-approval changes dossiers for biologic drugs were obtained. Aggregation of 48,144 post-approval biologic products dossiers resulted in 663 product-manufacturer pairs. For pharmacovigilance data, aggregation produced 5,874 pairs. Registration and post-approval changes merging from aggregated pairs resulted in 577 pairs. Trios with pharmacovigilance data resulted in 147 matches. These 147 pairs respond for 5.468 identified adverse drug events reports. Adverse drug events reports of biological medicines account for around 5,0 \% of NOTIVISA. Conclusion/Implications Regulatory actions should be implemented to stimulate adverse events reports of biological products. A single database with registration, post-approval changes and pharmacovigilance data was produced. Data linkage permitted analysis of biological medicines in the post-market and can provide important information to evaluate risk in drug development.

This article investigates the role and ways of action of leaderships in urban contexts characterized by urban revitalization processes (RJ/Brazil). Adopting as its theoretical basis the bibliographical review of the literature on leadership and public area requalification processes, as well as research conducted by Jacobs (2011) on diversity and innovation, the present research may be characterized as qualitative in nature (case study). Results indicate that the Porto Maravilha project has transposed business concepts to public administration. Today, the keynote lies in the attraction of new enterprises and in the construction of urban revitalization projects for the city’s makeover. With regard to the leadership, although public leadership has apparently adopted management instruments for decentralizing management and for public participation, these measures were not enough to achieve an effectively shared leadership that would reflect the multiple interests of different actors (as the theory of relational leadership presupposes). Thus, a set of contradictions and dilemmas for the leaders is apparent, among them: how to build an effectively-shared leadership, as every urban transformation project depends on the negotiation and complex interaction between different social actors?

this work analyses the STF rulingthat recognized same-sex unions, based on lawas integrity theory of R. Dworkin and on documentary research about the subject. It criticizesthe use of legislative intent as a ground to con-clude that the Constitution prohibits same-sexunions and argues that the construction of theright to equality in the field of sexual orienta-tion in Brazilian law authorizes the judiciary torecognize these unions.

Background : Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a worldwide prevalent condition that exhibits a large variety of signs and symptoms of esophageal or extra-esophageal nature and can be related to the esophagic adenocarcinoma. In the last few years, greater importance has been given to the influence of physical exercises on it. Some recent investigations, though showing conflicting results, point to an exacerbation of gastroesophageal reflux during physical exercises. Aim : To evaluate the influence of physical activities in patients presenting with erosive and non erosive disease by ergometric stress testing and influence of the lower esophageal sphincter tonus and body mass index during this situation. Methods : Twenty-nine patients with erosive disease (group I) and 10 patients with non-erosive disease (group II) were prospectively evaluated. All the patients were submitted to clinical evaluation, followed by upper digestive endoscopy, manometry and 24 h esophageal pH monitoring. An ergometric testing was performed 1 h before removing the esophageal pH probe. During the ergometric stress testing, the following variables were analyzed: test efficacy, maximum oxygen uptake, acid reflux duration, gastroesophageal reflux symptoms, influence of the lower esophageal sphincter tonus and influence of body mass index in the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux during these physical stress. Results : Maximum oxigen consumption or VO 2 max, showed significant correlation when it was 70% or higher only in the erosive disease group, evaluating the patients with or without acid reflux during the ergometric testing (p=0,032). The other considered variables didn't show significant correlations between gastroesophageal reflux and physical activity (p>0,05). Conclusions : 1) Highly intensive physical activity can predispose the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux episodes in gastroesophageal reflux disease patients with erosive disease; 2) light or short sessions of physical activity have no influence on reflux, regardless of body mass index; 3) the lower esophageal sphincter tonus does not influence the occurrence of reflux disease episodes during exercise testing.

O artigo analisa as atuais características do controle de constitucionalidade das leis no direito brasileiro, com base nas categorias formuladas por Lucio Pegoraro (2004) para o estudo comparado da justiça constitucional. A partir de uma análise das matrizes teóricas que deram origem ao modelo norte-americano e ao modelo europeu de controle de constitucionalidade, identifica as similaridades e diferenças entre eles. Demonstra a imprecisão da tipologia tradicional dos sistemas de controle de constitucionalidade e defende o uso da distinção entre sistemas unitários e sistemas plurais como a mais adequada para compreender as principais variáveis que regem seu funcionamento. Conclui que o sistema de controle de constitucionalidade no Brasil deve ser classificado como um sistema plural, em que prevalece a concorrência de diferentes órgãos no julgamento da compatibilidade das leis com a Constituição.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar, sob a ótica dos gestores de contratos da Vale, as práticas gerenciais adotadas por essa grande empresa para lidar com os quatro principais desafios da gestão de trabalhadores terceirizados: qualificação; qualidade de serviços; padronização dos serviços e o comprometimento dos terceirizados. Apesar desse quadro já durar pelo menos 20 anos, pouco ainda se discute sobre tais práticas gerenciais, e é essa a maior contribuição deste artigo. O olhar dos gestores sobre as práticas de recursos humanos em relação aos principais desafios impostos pela terceirização é praticamente inexistente na literatura. Foram realizadas 15 entrevistas semiestruturadas com gestores de contratos de terceirização neste estudo de caso de natureza descritiva. Procedeu-se a análise documental de normas sobre terceirização na Vale. Foram identificadas práticas de gestão utilizadas para lidar com cada um dos desafios, sendo a gestão de contratos e a oferta de programas de treinamento as mais destacadas. A legislação trabalhista contribui para que os terceirizados continuem segregados, uma vez que as empresas evitam uma relação mais direta temendo estabelecer vínculo empregatício. Apesar dos vários esforços para que se melhore o trabalho terceirizado, ele ainda é estigmatizado, visto e tratado como inferior ao emprego direto, o que causa impactos negativos no comprometimento. Ainda predomina a preocupação com a economia de custos na decisão da empresa por terceirizar. Portanto, há muito a evoluir para que a terceirização se efetive sem proporcionar prejuízos aos envolvidos neste processo.

Activation energy (Ea) is a parameter that can be applied to make predictions about the quality of oils to be used in an ICO engine. In this study, Ea was determined by thermogravimetry following two different procedures: ASTM E 1641 and Model-free kinetics. The energies were calculated in the low temperature oxidation (LTO) region for three Brazilian fuel oils (denominated A, B and C) and the results were equal using both methods: 43 kJ mol-1 (alpha=0.1 to 0.9) for oil A, 48 kJ mol-1 (alpha=0.1 to 0.5) and 65 kJ mol-1 (alpha=0.5 to 0.9) for oil B, and 58 kJ mol-1 (alpha=0.1 to 0.5) and 65 kJ mol-1 (alpha=0.5 to 0.9) for oil C. It was concluded that, among the oils studied, sample A was potentially the best option concerning the behavior in the LTO region.

This study presents the numerical reproduction of the entire surface temperature field resulting from a water droplet spreading on a heated surface, which is compared with experimental data. High-speed infrared thermography of the back side of the surface and high-speed images of the side view of the impinging droplet were used to infer on the solid surface temperature field and on droplet dynamics. Numerical reproduction of the phenomena was performed using OpenFOAM CFD toolbox. An enhanced volume of fluid (VOF) model was further modified for this purpose. The proposed modifications include the coupling of temperature fields between the fluid and the solid regions, to account for transient heat conduction within the solid. The results evidence an extremely good agreement between the temporal evolution of the measured and simulated spreading factors of the considered droplet impacts. The numerical and experimental dimensionless surface temperature profiles within the solid surface and along the droplet radius, were also in good agreement. Most of the differences were within the experimental measurements uncertainty. The numerical results allowed relating the solid surface temperature profiles with the fluid flow. During spreading, liquid recirculation within the rim, leads to the appearance of different regions of heat transfer that can be correlated with the vorticity field within the droplet.

Mycoplasma (M.) hyopneumoniae is the key pathogen of the porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC) and contributes to pleurisy in pigs. Due to its limited metabolism and laborious cultivation, molecular tools are useful for diagnosis. This study investigated the genetic diversity of M. hyopneumoniae in slaughter pigs with pneumonia and pleurisy, and it assessed co-infections by Pasteurella multocida type A (PM), Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP), and swine influenza virus A (sIVA). Lungs (n = 70) with different pleurisy scores and lesions compatible with M. hyopneumoniae infection were collected for convenience. Macroscopic and microscopic evaluations were performed. M. hyopneumoniae was detected using qPCR, and MLST was used for genetic characterization. Co-infections with PM and APP were also evaluated by qPCR, while the immunohistochemistry assessed sIVA infection. All lungs were positive for M. hyopneumoniae. Histopathology confirmed M. hyopneumoniae-associated lesions. MLST characterization was possible in 25 lungs and revealed 10 distinct allelic profiles, with none matching known sequence types in the public database. Co-infections were detected in 40% of the samples with APP and 32% with PM, with 12% showing both pathogens and 52% of the samples presenting microscopic lesions compatible with sIVA infection. The diverse genetic profiles found underscore the need for research on isolation and potential pathogenic variations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A remote experiment was developed and carried out to create a phenol/water phase diagram using a low-cost automated data collection system and an online video broadcast. Both the data and video from the experiment were transmitted in real-time. The remote lab experiment was evaluated using qualitative and quantitative questionnaires filled out by the students. The phenol/water phase diagram obtained is entirely consistent, with precision and accuracy compatible with what is expected to be achieved in conventional lab classes. The activity evaluation showed excellent acceptance by the students by doing this lab activity remotely.
