- ItemSomente MetadadadosAlternative logics coexistence and collaboration: the consumer protection field(Brazilian Soc Urol, 2016) Ryngelblum, Arnaldo; Vianna, Nadia; Onusic, Luciana [UNIFESP]Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine the conditions that allow the co-existence of alternative logics in an institutional field for an extended period. Design/methodology/approach -This is a case study that examined the complaint-handling processes of phone companies based on documentary research, which provided the information that allowed the development of a script to interview organizational actors in this field. Findings -The explanation for this behavior that does not attempt to deinstitutionalize other institutions' practices relates to the actors' need for the other field participants' collaboration to improve their activities. Research limitations/implications -The specific characteristics of the Brazilian context can only suggest that alternative logics may coexist, which therefore opens opportunities for future studies to discuss the possible reproduction of these results in other societies. Similarly, because this research was restricted to the complaint field, other studies conducted in fields where actors are faced with alternative possibilities, such as with the judicial system, should examine and expand on these concepts. This study sought to cover the viewpoints of multiple important actors in the field to cover the whys and hows these logics coexist. However, a more comprehensive availability of respondents might have brought still better insights to the study. Practical implications -One implication of this study is the fact that firms in Brazil must be aware of the alternative redress channels that are available to consumers. The different procedural norms can cause a great deal of annoyance because firms have to be updated with all of them and eventually build specialized teams to address them. The awareness of the existence of multiple logics in this field should orient the Brazilian telephony industry's regulator in formulating policies that take this fact into consideration. To do this, the regulator should consider a regular consultation forum in which the main consumer protection organizations and government agencies gather to discuss improvements given that there is already informal collaboration. Public policy should also take into consideration the fact that consumers do not complain most of the time for lack of knowledge or disbelief in supporting organizations. Originality/value -The main contribution is the alternative logics notion in addressing complaints in this field. This is an issue that has not been practically explored in the literature. The difference between an alternative logic and a competing one lies in the fact that the practices, structures and symbols in the first case represent alternative possibilities for actors to achieve a specific objective, whereas in the second case, the weaker logics tend to disappear due to a stronger one.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosComputer task performance by subjects with Duchenne muscular dystrophy(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2016) Pinheiro Malheiros, Silvia Regina; da Silva, Talita Dias [UNIFESP]; Favero, Francis Meire [UNIFESP]; de Abreu, Luiz Carlos; Fregni, Felipe; Ribeiro, Denise Cardoso; de Mello Monteiro, Carlos BandeiraAims: Two specific objectives were established to quantify computer task performance among people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). First, we compared simple computational task performance between subjects with DMD and age-matched typically developing (TD) subjects. Second, we examined correlations between the ability of subjects with DMD to learn the computational task and their motor functionality, age, and initial task performance. Method: The study included 84 individuals (42 with DMD, mean age of 18 +/- 5.5 years, and 42 age-matched controls). They executed a computer maze task all participants performed the acquisition (20 attempts) and retention (five attempts) phases, repeating the same maze. A different maze was used to verify transfer performance (five attempts). The Motor Function Measure Scale was applied, and the results were compared with maze task performance. Results: In the acquisition phase, a significant decrease was found in movement time (MT) between the first and last acquisition block, but only for the DMD group. For the DMD group, MT during transfer was shorter than during the first acquisition block, indicating improvement from the first acquisition block to transfer. In addition, the TD group showed shorter MT than the DMD group across the study. Conclusion: DMD participants improved their performance after practicing a computational task however, the difference in MT was present in all attempts among DMD and control subjects. Computational task improvement was positively influenced by the initial performance of individuals with DMD. In turn, the initial performance was influenced by their distal functionality but not their age or overall functionality.

- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Modelagem Ecoponto Nível 1. Um Pátio Regulador de Graneis(Universidade Federal de São Paulo, 2021-02-24) Oliveira, Gabriel Henrique Silva [UNIFESP]; Fontana, Caio Fernando [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1673255403692902; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3232951336689248; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)A operação de granéis sólidos nos ambientes portuários deve ser executada sempre em ambientes com estrutura adequada a fim de se evitar impactos ao meio ambiente. Este trabalho teve como objetivo a modelagem de infraestrutura das áreas de coleta de resíduos de nível 1 para um pátio regulador de granéis. As características contempladas na descrição remetem a infraestrutura que o mesmo deve possuir para a adequação de operação. Com base na tipologia das cargas movimentadas e nas normas de segurança ambientais, com aprovação do ministério público entre outros órgãos e entidades responsáveis, fora descrito os procedimentos e estrutura mínimas necessárias para implementação ou adequação de um pátio regulador de granéis que possa gerar resíduos perigosos Classe I, para que o mesmo trabalhe com total segurança.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosVirtual body swap: a new feasible tool to be explored in health and education(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016) de Oliveira, Elen Collaco; Bertrand, Philippe; Roel Lesur, Marte Ernesto; Palomo, Priscila; Demarzo, Marcelo [UNIFESP]; Cebolla, Ausias; Banos, Rosa; Tori, RomeroVirtual reality has been widely explored to immerse users in environments other than those considered to be their surrounding realities. We discuss the possibility of immersion not in another environment but in another person's body. The power of body swap illusion opens up a great deal of possibilities and applications in several areas, such as neuroscience, psychology, and education. For this experiment, we used a low budget system that reproduces a person's head movements as if one's own head were in another body viewed through a head mounted display (HMD) while having body agency, i.e., controlling the movements of another real body as if it was a "real avatar". In this pilot study we describe the tool in details and discuss its feasibility and preliminary results based on the analysis of the participants' perceptions collected through validated questionnaires and in-depth interviews. We observed that the system does promote higher levels of realism and involvement ("presence") compared with an immersion experience without body agency. Moreover, spontaneous declarations by the participants also showed how impactful this experience may be. Future applications of the tool are discussed.
