A glossary for the social epidemiology of work organization. Part 3: terms from labour markets
This is part 3 of a three-part glossary on the
social epidemiology of work organisation. The
first two parts deal with the social psychology
of work and with organisations. This concluding
part presents concepts related to labour markets.
These concepts are drawn from economics, business
and sociology. They relate both to traditional
interests in these disciplines and to contemporary
ideas on post-industrialisation and globalisation,
particularly the growth of employment in service
industries, the development of a 24-h economy,
increased participation of the female labour force
and the perceived needs of employers in emerging
high-tech economies.These changes are of
particular interest because they are linked to
increasing inequality in earnings and changes in
social relationships in employment. These concepts
have the potential to elucidate the pathways
through which health is affected by conditions of
work as an underlying cause
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases-producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> in common vampire bats <i>Desmodus rotundus</i> and livestock in Peru
Antibiotic resistance mediated by bacterial production of extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase (ESBL) is a global threat to public health. ESBL resistance is most commonly hospital‐acquired; however, infections acquired outside of hospital settings have raised concerns over the role of livestock and wildlife in the zoonotic spread of ESBL‐producing bacteria. Only limited data are available on the circulation of ESBL‐producing bacteria in animals. Here, we report ESBL‐producing Escherichia coli in wild common vampire bats Desmodus rotundus and livestock near Lima, Peru. Molecular analyses revealed that most of this resistance resulted from the expression of blaCTX‐M‐15 genes carried by plasmids, which are disseminating worldwide in hospital settings and have also been observed in healthy children of Peru. Multilocus sequence typing showed a diverse pool of E. coli strains carrying this resistance that were not always host species‐specific, suggesting sharing of strains between species or infection from a common source. This study shows widespread ESBL resistance in wild and domestic animals, supporting animal communities as a potential source of resistance. Future work is needed to elucidate the role of bats in the dissemination of antibiotic‐resistant strains of public health importance and to understand the origin of the observed resistance
How to Complete an Interactive Configuration Process?
When configuring customizable software, it is useful to provide interactive
tool-support that ensures that the configuration does not breach given
constraints.
But, when is a configuration complete and how can the tool help the user to
complete it?
We formalize this problem and relate it to concepts from non-monotonic
reasoning well researched in Artificial Intelligence. The results are
interesting for both practitioners and theoreticians. Practitioners will find a
technique facilitating an interactive configuration process and experiments
supporting feasibility of the approach. Theoreticians will find links between
well-known formal concepts and a concrete practical application.Comment: to appear in SOFSEM 201
Cuidados com cordeiros hipotérmicos.
A mortalidade perinatal de cordeiros ainda é um dos grandes gargalos na produção ovina em condições extensivas de criação. Alguns estudos apontam o complexo inanição-exposição (inabilidade de mamar acompanhada de frio e/ou chuva) como responsável por 40 a 80% das perdas de cordeiros antes da assinalação.bitstream/item/67091/1/CR-33-circular-tecnica-cuidados-com-cordeiros-hipotermicos.pd
Introgressão assistida por diagnóstico molecular da mutação Booroola em rebanhos comerciais das raças Texel e Corriedale.
A alta prolificidade das ovelhas Booroola é causada por uma mutação que ocorreu naturalmente no gene do receptor para proteínas morfogenéticas de osso tipo1 B (BMPR1B). A partir de 2001 o desenvolvimento de testes genéticos possibilitou o diagnóstico desta mutação através de PCR-RFLP

El rol del control personal en la función paliativa de la justificación del sistema entre la población indígena y no indígena de estudiantes peruanos
Indexación: Scopus.In this article we propose a mediation model for the association between system justification and psychological well-being (i.e., the palliative function of ideology), based on system justification theory and compensatory control theory. Specifically, we argue that endorsing system-justifying beliefs leads to increased perceived personal control, which in turn predicts higher well-being. We used a convenience sample of students from two Peruvian universities. The results showed that system justification was related to general psychological well-being and personal control. In addition, indigenous students rated lower on system justification, general psychological well-being, self-esteem and personal control. Next, we found that the association between system justification and general psychological well-being was stronger among indigenous students, and this relationship was partially mediated by personal control. In addition, we showed that the mediation model is moderated by ethnicity, so that personal control is a mediator only among non-indigenous participants. We conclude that personal control is a mechanism involved in the palliative function of ideology among this group. Finally, we discuss possible explanations for the mechanisms involved in the palliative function of ideology among low-status individuals. © 2018, © 2018 Fundacion Infancia y Aprendizaje.En este artículo se propone un modelo de mediación de las
relaciones entre la justificación del sistema y el bienestar psicológico (i.e.,
la función paliativa de la ideología) basado en las teorías de la justificación
del sistema y del control compensatorio. En concreto, se propone que la
adopción de creencias justificativas del sistema produce un aumento del
control personal percibido que, a su vez, predice niveles más elevados de bienestar. En este estudio se utilizó una muestra por conveniencia de estudiantes
provenientes de dos universidades peruanas. Los resultados muestran
que la justificación del sistema está relacionada con el bienestar psicológico
general y con el control personal. Además, los estudiantes indígenas mostraron
niveles más reducidos de justificación del sistema, bienestar
psicológico general, autoestima y control personal. También se observó que
la relación entre la justificación del sistema y el bienestar psicológico general
era más fuerte entre los estudiantes indígenas y que el control personal
mediaba parcialmente en esta relación. Asimismo, mostramos que la etnicidad
es un factor moderador del modelo de mediación, por lo que el control
personal es un mediador únicamente entre los participantes no indígenas. El
estudio concluye que el control personal es un mecanismo que interviene en
la función paliativa de la ideología en este grupo. Por último, se discuten
posibles explicaciones de los mecanismos implicados en la función paliativa
de la ideología entre individuos de estatus social bajo.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02134748.2018.153765
