Timing of response differentiation in human motor cortex during a speeded Go/No-go task

We explored the brain's ability to quickly prevent a pre-potent but unwanted motor response. To address this, transcranial magnetic stimulation was delivered over the motor cortex (hand representation) to probe excitability changes immediately after somatosensory cues prompted subjects to either move as fast as possible or withhold movement. Our results showed a difference in motor cortical excitability 90 ms post-stimulus contingent on cues to either promote or prevent movement. We suggest that our study design emphasizing response speed coupled with well-defined early probes allowed us to extend upon similar past investigations into the timing of response inhibition.

Os sistemas de controles internos utilizados no contas a receber em das empresas de comércio de autopeças: o caso da empresa: Eletropel Distribuidora de Autopeças Ltda

O trabalho analisa o controle interno presente nas operações de contas a receber de uma empresa comercial do ramo de distribuição de autopeças. O objetivo geral do trabalho é identificar os tipos de controles internos de contas a receber presentes na gestão de uma empresa comercial de distribuição de autopeças em Goiânia – GO. O controle interno influencia fundamentalmente na continuidade das empresas, em virtude de constantes modificações em seus meios empresariais e a constante necessidade de adequação ao modelo exigido no mercado. Como metodologia desenvolveu-se um estudo de caso a partir de revisão literária. O estudo de caso foi desenvolvido por meio de entrevistas junto ao proprietário aplicando o questionário a seguir a fim de verificar os controles do ciclo de receitas existentes na empresa. O resultado foi obtido através de identificação dos controles internos existentes na empresa no departamento de contas a receber e comparados com os controles necessários de acordo com literatura apresentada, avaliando os controles utilizados e identificando possíveis falhas devido a não utilização de ferramentas de controle, sugerindo assim melhorias e implantação de controles adequados. Após coleta dos dados verificou-se que a empresa utiliza vários tipos de controles internos de contas a receber em suas atividades, porém, apresentam problemas a segregação de funções, ausência de formalização de procedimentos, integração entre sistemas, não constituição de provisão para devedores duvidosos, entre outros. Após a análise e descrição dos controles internos de contas a receber utilizados pela empresa, foi possível constatar o quão importantes são os controles internos na gestão dos fluxos e atividades de contas a receber em micro e pequenas empresas.

Revitalizing the PE social-justice agenda in the global era: Where do we go from here?

Critical theorists have called attention to the intensification of diversity that is now occurring inside and outside of school, while critically engaging with the detrimental effects of globalization on equity, diversity, and social justice. Globalization presents new challenges to education and to issues of social justice. In this article, we argue that there is a need for scholars in the field of physical education (PE) to re-think and re-frame the social-justice agenda to address current inequalities produced by globalization. To support this argument, first, we reflect on the impact of global neoliberalism on PE; second, we discuss the ways in which, as a result of global neoliberalism, public health discourses have an “othering” effect on ethnically diverse young people; third, we propose a theoretical shift from a focus on equality to a focus on difference; and finally, we conclude with considerations for future research and curricula in school PE.

Should I stay or should I go? Sibling effects in household formation

This paper analyzes peer effects among siblings in the decision to leave parental home. Estimating peer effects is challenging because of problems of refection, endogenous group formation, and correlated unobservables. We overcome these issues using the exogenous variation in siblings' household formation implied by the eligibility rules for a Spanish rental subsidy. Our results show that sibling effects are negative and that these effects can be explained by the presence of old or ill parents. Sibling effects turn positive from older to younger close-in-age siblings, when imitation is more likely to prevail. Our findings indicate that policy makers who aim at fostering household formation should target the household rather than the individual and combine policies for young adults with policies for the elderly.

Some go without a cigarette: characteristics of cannabis users who have never smoked tobacco.

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence of youth who use cannabis but have never been tobacco smokers and to assess the characteristics that differentiate them from those using both substances or neither substance. DESIGN: School survey. SETTING: Postmandatory schools. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 5263 students (2439 females) aged 16 to 20 years divided into cannabis-only smokers (n = 455), cannabis and tobacco smokers (n = 1703), and abstainers (n = 3105). OUTCOME MEASURES: Regular tobacco and cannabis use; and personal, family, academic, and substance use characteristics. RESULTS: Compared with those using both substances, cannabis-only youth were younger (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 0.82) and more likely to be male (AOR, 2.19), to play sports (AOR, 1.64), to live with both parents (AOR, 1.33), to be students (AOR, 2.56), and to have good grades (AOR, 1.57) and less likely to have been drunk (AOR, 0.55), to have started using cannabis before the age of 15 years (AOR, 0.71), to have used cannabis more than once or twice in the previous month (AOR, 0.64), and to perceive their pubertal timing as early (AOR, 0.59). Compared with abstainers, they were more likely to be male (AOR, 2.10), to have a good relationship with friends (AOR, 1.62), to be sensation seeking (AOR, 1.32), and to practice sports (AOR, 1.37) and less likely to have a good relationship with their parents (AOR, 0.59). They were more likely to attend high school (AOR, 1.43), to skip class (AOR, 2.28), and to have been drunk (AOR, 2.54) or to have used illicit drugs (AOR, 2.28). CONCLUSIONS: Cannabis-only adolescents show better functioning than those who also use tobacco. Compared with abstainers, they are more socially driven and do not seem to have psychosocial problems at a higher rate.
