Road safety: a priority issue for the United Nations

This issue of the Bulletin deals with road safety, which has become an urgent worldwide problem. Given the fact that road accidents are increasing, that they affect the planet's most vulnerable population (namely the lowest income groups in developing countries) and that this is becoming a genuine public health crisis, the United Nations has decided that it is urgent to address the matter. The World Health Organization (WHO) has therefore dedicated the World Health Day 2004 to road safety.Given the urgent need for action, the Chiefs of Transport of the five Regional Economic Commissions of the United Nations held a meeting in Geneva (September 2004), where they agreed to reinforce the studies and projects carried out in this area.Below is a summary of various information sources and initiatives adopted to assess and tackle this modern epidemic and offers a pessimistic outlook for 2020, when road traffic crashes will constitute the third cause of death unless serious action is taken from today.

Inclusión de la variable etnia en las fuentes de información sociodemográfica del Ecuador

Las crecientes demandas de participación en la vida social, política y económica de los pueblos y nacionalidades indígenas del Ecuador durante los últimos veinte años han incidido directamente en la visibilización de estos actores como parte constitutiva del país. Existen varias cifras sobre el número de habitantes indígenas en el Ecuador, lo que ha impulsado un debate sobre la validez de las diferentes metodologías de recolección de información que permita tener datos desagregados por condición étnica, y lo que es más importante sobre las condiciones de vida de los pueblos y nacionalidades indígenas y las brechas de equidad que se observan en cuanto a indicadores de desarrollo entre los distintos grupos de población. El presente documento es una síntesis de la revisión de los instrumentos de recolección de información que incluyen la variable “etnia” y las diferentes formas de capturar el dato. Revisión que involucró el análisis crítico de cada uno de los procesos por parte de los responsables técnicos de la producción de las estadísticas y también con los representantes de las nacionalidades y pueblos indígenas del Ecuador con la finalidad de identificar las limitaciones de los instrumentos y/o las dificultades del proceso que hace que los pueblos indígenas se sientan sub representados en las estadísticas oficiales.

Efeitos do treino de cuidadores sobre comportamentos de apoio à adesão às orientações nutricionais por portadores de diabetes

Estudos em saúde têm apontado a disponibilidade de apoio social como um dos fatores relacionados à adesão ao tratamento por portadores de diabetes. Utilizando-se como referenciais teórico-metodológicos a análise do comportamento e o modelo construcional de Goldiamond, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar efeitos de um treino de cuidadores de adultos com diabetes, com enfoque nos comportamentos de apoio oferecidos ao comportamento alimentar dos pacientes. Adicionalmente, pretendeu-se investigar os efeitos deste treino sobre a adesão à dieta pelos pacientes. Participaram deste estudo três pacientes do sexo feminino inscritas em um programa de acompanhamento a portadores de diabetes e um membro familiar de cada paciente, totalizando três díades cuidador-paciente, das quais duas foram alocadas na Condição de Treino (CT) e uma na Condição de Não-Treino (CNT). Utilizaram-se como fontes de informação os relatos das pacientes e das cuidadoras, a observação direta de interações comportamentais e indicadores clínicos. Segundo o delineamento de sujeito como seu próprio controle, a intervenção consistiu no treino em análise de contingências e manejo comportamental, realizado em visitas domiciliares por meio de registros de automonitoração. Os resultados mostraram que as cuidadoras que participaram da Condição de Treino apresentaram ampliação no repertório comportamental de apoio, o que não foi verificado quanto à cuidadora que participou da Condição Não-Treino. A redução nos níveis glicêmicos e os relatos apresentados pelas pacientes da Condição de Treino sugerem que a intervenção tenha contribuído para melhorias na adesão às orientações nutricionais por estas pacientes.

O comportamento informacional de pós-graduandos da área de Educação

The study of information behavior of graduate students is important because it reveals aspects of the search and information use that will impact the performance of future researchers and other professionals. Earlier studies on the UNESP, campus of Marilia (São Paulo State, Brazil), indicated that the graduate students in the areas of Applied Social Sciences and Humanities little use information sources traditionally used for bibliographic and restricted to the sources indicated by their teachers, contrary to expectations for a student with this level of training. Continuing the theme, we investigate the information behavior of students in postgraduate programs in the field of Education with five and six notes in the latest assessment of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). This research aimed to characterize the information behavior of Brazilian post-graduate in Education; identify factors that may influence the information behavior of the participants; investigate whether there are significant differences in behavior between masters and doctoral students; check the influence of gender in information behavior of post-graduate students. Data collection was performed in two stages: the establishment of a focus group with group of 11 participants for raising subsidies for the next step, which consisted in the application of electronic questionnaire to 16 graduate regular student of programs of excellence in the Brazil. Participated in the survey 493 post-graduates, 54% doctoral students and 46% of masters students and 75% women and 25% of men. The results showed that most subjects did not participate in formal instruction to search in databases. They are open to new ideas and do not restrict your search only to information that confirms their view on the research topic. Respondents are concerned not to overlook details and have the habit of regularly seeking information on their research and were willing to...

Cultura da Wikipédia como Política de capacitação compartilhada em meio digital de socialização do conhecimento

Presents a developing laboratory within History of Culture, subject taught in the Library and Archive Studies at UNESP (Marilia). The project is based upon the foundations of research line Information and Technology: students from the second under graduation year participate in the improving of 27 entries in Portuguese language Wikipedia. The aim is to capacitate for scientific reading and writing in digital media, habilitate for the information identification and recuperation and for the interpretation and understanding of formal and contents aspects and its reorganization. It includes activities of search, selection, remix and republishing of texts, images, audio and videos in the convergence of diverse hypertext information sources, supported by tutors with strategic abilities in digital environments. In this sense it was adhered to the international Wikipedia Foundation University Campus Ambassadors project. It’s also aimed to induce sharing and collaboration behaviors with the purpose of creating necessary habits for the informational empowerment in Brazil. As methodology is to optimize the work of individuals already trained in wiki culture and to create in within the subject information sharing programs with a more specialized bias, giving greater credibility to the digital environment. The environment syntaxes helps in the learning of the complementary skills of reading and writing and offers itself as an open repository from which information can be reused. It is, thus, an empowerment strategy in the search of autonomy and self reliance considering intersemiotic knowledge in the edition, visualization and understanding of information in the social web. A second step of a verifying research on the environment’s credibility after the consolidation and dissemination of the entries improvement work is proposed.

O uso da informação no âmbito acadêmico: o comportamento informacional de pós-graduandos da área de Educação

This study reports part of a broader research about information behavior of graduate students in Education. The research´s participants were nine masters and doctoral students from a graduate program in Education at a public university. The focus group technique was used to collect the data. The focus group sessions were observed and recorded. The recorded data were transcribed, categorized and then analyzed using the technique of content analysis. The main aspects achieved were: i) Identification’s forms of information resources for research; ii) Internet as source of information; iii) Academic Library’s services and resources use; iv) Training to use of electronic data base; v) Difficulties to perform the search; vi) Advisor’s influence on research development; and vii) Environmental factors that affect information seeking behavior. The main results reveal that the identification of information sources occurs, mainly, through references quoted on studies of the researched area; as well as the advisors’ influence in the information seeking behavior of the participants. The results, also, disclose some environmental aspects, as example, lack of time to search and discomfort caused by the libraries’ environment that influenced negatively the information behavior of the studied group.
