I finanziamenti europei alla ricerca in università e in enti pubblici di ricerca: aspetti organizzativi e informativi per il supporto al ciclo di vista del progetto

European Union funding poses organizational challenges as well as requires adequate information management tools. Research support services have been set up in 90% of Italian universities, in the so-called Research Offices and in public research bodies, often in the International Relation Offices. The paper summarizes some considerations coming from state-of-the-art and illustrates the results of a dedicated survey which has been carried out on a sample of universities and research bodies of Italy. Both organizational structures to promote and manage the projects and features of information systems to support the whole project life-cycle are taken into account

Efficacy of core stability in non specific chronic low back pain

Background: Management of chronic low back pain (cLBP) is often multidisciplinary, involving a combination of treatments, including therapeutic exercises. Core stability exercises aim to improve pain and disability in cLBP increasing spinal stability, neuromuscular control, and preventing shear force that causes injury to the lumbar spine. The purpose of this study was to review the available evidence about the effectiveness in reducing pain and improving disability of core stability exercises for non-specific cLBP. (2) Methods: We perform a systematic research on common Medline databases: PubMed, Pedro, and Cochrane Library. Search results were limited to articles written in English and published between January 2005 and November 2020.The search provided a total of 420 articles. Forty-nine articles met the inclusion criteria and 371 articles were excluded. (3) Results: Core stability provides great therapeutic effects in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain reducing pain intensity, functional disability, and improving quality of life, core muscle activation, and thickness. Evidences suggest that core stability is more effective than rest or no/minimal intervention and combination with other types of exercise for cLBP have shown grater efficacy. (4) Conclusion: Core stability could be proposed in a comprehensive approach in cLBP, the combination with other modalities of therapeutic exercise should be promoted. Patient compliance is crucial to determine the efficacy of the intervention

Cultural Heritage in the Frame of European Funding Programmes: Challenges and Opportunities

Tangible and intangible CH is constituted by a multifaceted set of expressions, encompassing not only acknowledged creative forms such as works of art and monuments, but also other cultural manifestations such as folk songs, narratives of the oral tradition or manmade landscapes. CH plays a crucial role at the European level, representing an invaluable asset for all its citizens, and at the same time being a potential source on which to invest both from a social and economic perspective. The commitment towards its creative and cultural richness is grounded in the constitutional basis of Europe, the Treaty of Lisbon, stating that “[the Union] shall ensure that Europe’s cultural heritage is safeguarded and enhanced

Análise de aspectos legais relacionados à implementação da fiscalização direta do excesso de peso no contexto brasileiro

TCC (especialização) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Curso de Especialização em Operações Rodoviárias.A prática do sobrepeso, além de contribuir para a deterioração precoce dos pavimentos, leva à redução de condições de tráfego seguras, econômicas e confortáveis e, por conseguinte, ao comprometimento da segurança viária e à ocorrência de acidentes. Nesse sentido, a fiscalização direta do excesso de peso se configura como um modelo de pesagem mais dissuasivo, no que se refere à coibição da prática do sobrepeso, quando comparada com as pesagens estáticas ou baseada em sistemas LS-WIM. Entretanto, apesar de ser mundialmente entendida como viável de ocorrer, a sua efetiva implementação e operacionalização, tendo como referência o contexto brasileiro de fiscalização, encontra dificuldades relativas, não só a questões técnico-metrológicas, mas também com relação ademais dispositivos legais e normativos, a saber pelo fundamento que leva à admissão de tolerâncias sobre os limites de peso regulamentares, pelos valores das multas, pela forma como se faz prevista a realização de medidas administrativas e, por fim, questões relacionadas à evasão de áreas de pesagem. Tais aspectos legais foram analisados, de forma teórica, neste trabalho, tendo sido apontado, para fins de implementação da fiscalização direta no Brasil, a necessidade de adequações profundas dos mencionados dispositivos legais e normativos, bem como um maior uso de tecnologias ITS e de telecomunicações, e a integração dos órgãos e entidades que compõem o SNTThe overweight practice, besides contributing to the early deterioration of the pavements, leads to the reduction of the secures, economics and comfortable traffic conditions, and, consequently, to the compromise of safety and to the occurrence of accidents. In this sense, the direct overweight enforcement is configured as a more dissuasive weighing model , regarding the control of overweight practice , when it is compared to the static weighing, or the one based on LS - WIM systems. However, despite being globally understood as feasible to occur, its effective implementation and operationalization, in reference to the Brazilian enforcement context, encounters difficulties related n ot only to technical - metrological issues, but also to other legal and normative provisions, as the basis of the admissibility of tolerances over the regulatory weight limits, the fines values, the way in which administrative measures are developed, and fin ally, issues related to the evasion of weighing areas. weighing. These legal aspects were analyzed, theoretically, in this paper, and it was pointed out, for purposes of implementation of direct enforcement in Brazil, the need for deep adjustments of the m entioned legal and normative devices, as well as a greater use of ITS and telecommunications technologies, and the integration of the organs and entities that make up the SNT

Nova sistemática de conversão de registro de infração de trânsito em notificação de autuação

TCC (especialização) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Curso de Especialização em Operações Rodoviárias.Os acidentes de trânsito constituem grave problema de saúde pública e respondem como principal causa das mortes em todo o mundo. Muitos deles ocorrem em função da não observância das normas de trânsito, cuja finalidade é tornar o comportamento o mais previsível e seguro possível. Buscando assegurar seu cumprimento são adotadas medidas de fiscalização e punições. A pesquisa tem embasamento na Teoria da Dissuasão, que se sustenta em três pilares fundamentais: certeza, severidade e celeridade das sanções. A pesquisa tem como objetivo a proposição de uma nova sistemática de conversão de registros de infração de trânsito em Notificação de Autuação, trazendo como inovação a instituição da chamada Notificação de Infração de Trânsito. Seu desenvolvimento considerou os dados do Programa Nacional de Controle Eletrônico de Velocidade – PNCV, do Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura de Transportes – DNIT. A velocidade excessiva ou inadequada é altamente prejudicial para a manutenção da segurança viária, uma vez que contribui em pelo menos um terço dos acidentes, figurando como fator agravante em quase todos eles. O processo de punição dos infratores de trânsito no país, até a fase de Notificação da Autuação, foi mapeado, identificando-se como ele ocorre no DNIT com a utilização do Sistema Integrado de Operações Rodoviárias – SIOR. Os diagramas de processos foram construídos no Bizagi Modeler®, que incorpora o padrão BPMN 2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation). Verificou-se no PNCV que a taxa de impunidade aferida no final de 2011 foi de 100%. Em 2014 o número caiu para 92,40% e, com o advento do SIOR, o número chegou a 53,48%, ou seja, atualmente 46,52% dos registros de infração são convertidos em Notificação de Autuação. Entretanto, mesmo com a alta taxa de impunidade, houve redução do número e da severidade dos acidentes ao longo do período nas rodovias federais. A pesquisa mostrou que no modelo atual o envio da Notificação de Autuação ocorre em 22 dias contados a partir da data do cometimento da infração de trânsito, enquanto que na nova abordagem a ciência da infração passa a ser praticamente instantânea, considerando o correto funcionamento dos sistemas de informação e de telecomunicações.Traffic accidents are a serious public health problem and are the main cause of death worldwide. Many of them occur due to non-compliance with traffic regulations, whose purpose is to make behavior as predictable and safe as possible. Seeking to ensure compliance with these measures, measures of surveillance and punishment are adopted. The research is based on the Deterrence Theory, which is based on three fundamental pillars: certainty, severity and celerity of the sanctions. The objective of this research is to propose a new system for the conversion of traffic violation records into Notification of Assessment, bringing as an innovation the institution of the Traffic Violation Notification. Its development considered the data of the National Program of Electronic Control of Speed (Programa Nacional de Controle Eletrônico de Velocidade – PNCV), of the National Department of Transport Infrastructure (Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura de Transportes – DNIT). Excessive or inadequate speed is highly detrimental to the maintenance of road safety as it contributes to at least one third of accidents, and is an aggravating factor in almost all of them. The process of punishment of traffic offenders in the country, until the Notification of Assessment phase, was mapped, identifying how it occurs at DNIT with the use of the Integrated System of Roads Operations (Sistema Integrado de Operações Rodoviárias – SIOR). The process diagrams were built in Bizagi Modeler©, which incorporates the BPMN 2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation) standard. It was verified in the PNCV that the rate of impunity measured at the end of 2011 was 100%. At 2014 the number dropped to 92.40% and, with the rise of SIOR the number reached 53.48%, that is, currently 46.52% of the infringement records are converted into Notification of Assessment. However, even with the high rate of impunity, there was a reduction in the number and severity of accidents over the period on federal highways. The research showed that in the current model the sending of the Notice of Assessment takes place in 22 days counted from the date of the commission of the traffic violation, whereas in the new approach the aware of the traffic violation happens almost instantaneously, considering the correct operation of the informations and telecommunications systems

Brazilian Scientific Journals in Surgery: quality control in the abstract structure of non-experimental articles

PURPOSE: To evaluate the quality of abstracts of original non-experimental research articles in Brazilian Journals in Surgery. METHODS: Convenience sample of 471 abstracts of original research articles from six Brazilian surgical journals indexed in Thomson Reuters (ISI) Web of Knowledge. The quality of abstracts was measured against a checklist of eight evaluation criteria, which were divided into 32 categories. The total score for each abstract was obtained by summing the score of all criteria present. The overall mean score was also determined. RESULTS: The overall mean score of abstract quality was that of a good abstract. Most of the abstracts contained some information from each of the eight basic categories of an abstract. All abstracts were structured ones. CONCLUSION: The overall quality, for abstracts of original articles of six Brazilian non-experimental journals in surgery, was classified as good.Rio de Janeiro Federal University School of Medicine Department of SurgeryUNIFESP Central LibraryUniversity City of São PauloUniversidade Federal de São Paulo, Biblioteca do Campus São Paulo, EPM, São Paulo, BrazilSciEL
