Beyond the Algorithm Qualitative Insights for Gig Work Regulation
No full textIn Beyond the Algorithm: Qualitative Insights for Gig Work Regulation, Deepa Das Acevedo and a collection of scholars and experts show why government actors must go beyond mass surveys and data-scrubbing in order to truly understand the realities of gig work. The contributors draw on qualitative empirical research to reveal the narratives and real-life experiences that define gig work, and they connect these insights to policy debates being fought out in courts, town halls, and even in Congress itself. The book also bridges academic and non-academic worlds by drawing on the experiences of drivers, journalists, and workers\u27 advocates who were among the first people to study gig work from the bottom up. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in gig work, the legal infrastructure surrounding it, and how that infrastructure can and must be improved.https://scholarship.law.ua.edu/fac_books/1050/thumbnail.jp

Seminário sobre aquacultura 14 a 16 de dezembro de 1983
No full textA necessidade de desenvolver a aquacultura em Portugal obriga à escolha das espécies mais indicadas para tal finalidade. A propósito o autor chama a atenção para as graves consequências que podem advir das introduções e/ou transferências de animais aquáticos, quer para as espécies locais e meio ambiente, como para a para a saúde pública.Concerning the need to choose the most convenient species to cultivate in order to implement aquaculture in Portugal, the author draws the attention to the deleterious consequences of introductions and transfers of aquatic animals.Caixa Geral de Depósito
Programme and Impact Evaluation of a Community Gender Equity Intervention with Boys and Young Men in Rajasthan, India
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2017-06This paper examines how addressing known determinants of intimate partner violence with boys and men on the community-level can lead to improved gender equality in social norms. We led a process and impact evaluation to assess the effects of the Center for Health and Social Justice’s project, which aimed to engage men in changing gender stereotypes and to ultimately improve health outcomes for women, in villages in Rajasthan, India. We conducted seven focus group discussions with participants where the program was implemented and six in-depth interviews with young male leaders involved in the intervention. We also conducted 70 surveys, originally administered pre- implementation of the program, to assess participant and community knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours surrounding gender, violence, and sexuality. We used thematic analysis to determine process and impact themes, and hierarchical mixed linear regression for primary outcome analysis for post-intervention surveys. Post-intervention, significant changes in knowledge and attitudes regarding gender, sexuality, and violence were made on the individual-level by participants, as well as in the community. Moderate behavioural changes were seen in individuals and in the community. Study findings offer a strong model for prevention programs working with boys and men to create a community effect in encouraging gender equality in social norms
Uma Índia para ocidentais? A poetologia diaspórica de Salman Rushdie e Deepa Metha em Midnight\u27s Children
No full textThis paper examines Deepa Mehta\u27s film Midnight\u27s Children, drawing from the theories of Patrick Cattrysse\u27s (2014) descriptive adaptation studies and André Lefevere\u27s (2007) notion of poetology. We seek to understand, through the approach of the first theorist, how film analysis should take into consideration the target context of the adaptation of a work; we draw on the second theorist to examine the poetology of the creators; finally, we examine how the concept of Orientalism in art can also be produced by non-Westerners, and the implications of this phenomenon for literature and film.Este trabalho examina o filme Midnight\u27s Children, de Deepa Mehta, partindo das teorias dos estudos de adaptação descritiva de Patrick Cattrysse (2014) e da noção de poetologia de André Lefevere (2007). Procuramos entender, por meio da abordagem do primeiro teórico, como a análise de filmes deve levar em consideração o contexto alvo da adaptação de uma obra; baseamo-nos no segundo teórico para examinar a poetologia dos idealizadores; por fim, examinamos como o conceito de orientalismo na arte pode também ser produzido por não ocidentais, e as implicações desse fenômeno para a literatura e o cinema
Redox-Responsive Nanocapsules for the Spatiotemporal Release of Miltefosine in Lysosome: Protection against Leishmania
No full textLeishmaniasis, a vector-borne disease, is caused by intracellular parasite Leishmania donovani. Unlike most intracellular pathogens, Leishmania donovani are lodged in parasitophorous vacuoles and replicate within the phagolysosomes in macrophages. Effective vaccines against this disease are still under development, while the efficacy of the available drugs is being questioned owing to the toxicity for nonspecific distribution in human physiology and the reported drug-resistance developed by Leishmania donovani. Thus, a stimuli-responsive nanocarrier that allows specific localization and release of the drug in the lysosome has been highly sought after for addressing two crucial issues, lower drug toxicity and a higher drug efficacy. We report here a unique lysosome targeting polymeric nanocapsules, formed via inverse mini-emulsion technique, for stimuli-responsive release of the drug miltefosine in the lysosome of macrophage RAW 264.7 cell line. A benign polymeric backbone, with a disulfide bonding susceptible to an oxidative cleavage, is utilized for the organelle-specific release of miltefosine. Oxidative rupture of the disulfide bond is induced by intracellular glutathione (GSH) as an endogenous stimulus. Such a stimuli-responsive release of the drug miltefosine in the lysosome of macrophage RAW 264.7 cell line over a few hours helped in achieving an improved drug efficacy by 200 times as compared to pure miltefosine. Such a drug formulation could contribute to a new line of treatment for leishmaniasis.A.

"PULS." - Ein Blog als Online-Magazin für Medizinstudierende der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt
No full textIm Herbst 2009 forderten Studierende im Rahmen landesweiter Proteste auch am Fachbereich Medizin/Zahnmedizin der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt mehr Transparenz und Kommunikation zu Angelegenheiten ihres Studiums. Einen innovativen Lösungsansatz, um diesen Forderungen nachzukommen, bietet eines der Web 2.0 Werkzeuge: ein auf einer Blog-Software basierendes Online-Magazin für Studierende und andere Mitglieder des Fachbereichs.
Das öffentlich zugängliche Online-Magazin "PULS." (https://newsmagazin.puls.med.uni-frankfurt.de/wp/) wird mit einer freien Blog-Software (wordpress Version 3.1.3.) realisiert und von einer Online-Redakteurin konzipiert und geschrieben. Die Beiträge entstehen nach eigenen Recherchen sowie aus Anregungen und Gesprächen mit verschiedenen Personengruppen des Fachbereichs. Die datenschutzkonforme Auswertung der Zugriffe erfolgt über eine open-source Webanalyse-Software (Piwik). Zusätzlich werden jährlich mit dem Online-Umfrage-Tool Survey Monkey die Nutzer anonym befragt.
"PULS." ist seit dem 14.02.2010 ununterbrochen online und hat seitdem 806 Beiträge (Stand: 27.11.2012) publiziert und wird von ca. 2400 Besuchern monatlich gelesen. Das Themenspektrum ist zentriert auf die Anliegen der Frankfurter Medizin- und Zahnmedizinstudierenden. Die enge Zusammenarbeit mit verschiedenen Gruppierungen des Fachbereichs – Dekanat, Studierende und Lehrende – garantiert darüber hinaus ein fachbereichs-relevantes Themenspektrum. Das Online-Magazin begleitet komplexe Projekte und Entscheidungen mit Hintergrundinformationen und kommuniziert sie verständlich. Eine jährliche Nutzer-Evaluierung zeigt eine wachsende Leserzahl und eine sehr hohe Zustimmung für das Online-Magazin, seine Inhalte und seinen Stil. Das Web 2.0-Medium "Blog" und seine web-typische Sprache entsprechen dem Medienverhalten der Zielgruppe, d.h. den Studierenden des Fachbereichs Medizin.
"PULS." hat sich als ein geeignetes und strategisches Instrument erwiesen, um größere Transparenz, mehr Kommunikation und letztendlich eine stärkere Identifikation der Studierenden mit ihrem Fachbereich voranzutreiben
