Os artigos científicos são o principal veículo de comunicação para divulgação dos resultados obtidos por milhares de pesquisadores ao redor do mundo. Entretanto, escrever os artigos científicos em publicações de alto impacto é uma tarefa complexa para autores que têm o inglês como segunda língua. Por meio da aprendizagem baseada em exemplos e em experiência, as habilidades de leitura, interpretação e redação de textos científicos podem ser desenvolvidas por intermédio da prática, facilitada por meio de exemplos de trechos de texto reutilizáveis. Para auxiliar na redação de artigos, várias ferramentas computacionais foram desenvolvidas para dar suporte nas várias etapas de concepção do artigo. As ferramentas existentes, que aplicam este tipo de suporte, são todas voltadas para outros temas de pesquisa, incompatíveis com os temas da Engenharia de Produção, que por sua vez possui maneiras particulares de redigir e estruturar o texto. O objetivo da pesquisa desenvolvida consistiu em adaptar e avaliar um instrumento de auxílio à escrita em inglês dirigido a pesquisadores da Engenharia de Produção, fundamentada na aprendizagem baseada em exemplos e em experiências. Para tal fim, foram adaptadas duas ferramentas existentes para auxiliar nas tarefas de leitura...

The ability of animals to extract predictive information from the environment to inform their future actions is a critical component of decision-making. This phenomenon is studied in the laboratory using the pavlovian–instrumental transfer protocol in which a stimulus predicting a specific pavlovian outcome biases choice toward those actions earning the predicted outcome. It is well established that this transfer effect is mediated by corticolimbic afferents on the nucleus accumbens shell (NAc-S), and recent evidence suggests that δ-opioid receptors (DORs) play an essential role in this effect. In DOR-eGFP knock-in mice, we show a persistent, learning-related plasticity in the translocation of DORs to the somatic plasma membrane of cholinergic interneurons (CINs) in the NAc-S during the encoding of the specific stimulus–outcome associations essential for pavlovian–instrumental transfer. We found that increased membrane DOR expression reflected both stimulus-based predictions of reward and the degree to which these stimuli biased choice during the pavlovian–instrumental transfer test. Furthermore, this plasticity altered the firing pattern of CINs increasing the variance of action potential activity, an effect that was exaggerated by DOR stimulation. The relationship between the induction of membrane DOR expression in CINs and both pavlovian conditioning and pavlovian–instrumental transfer provides a highly specific function for DOR-related modulation in the NAc-S...

Learning is essential for adaptive decision making. The striatum and its dopaminergic inputs are known to support incremental reward-based learning, while the hippocampus is known to support encoding of single events (episodic memory). Although traditionally studied separately, in even simple experiences, these two types of learning are likely to co-occur and may interact. Here we sought to understand the nature of this interaction by examining how incremental reward learning is related to concurrent episodic memory encoding. During the experiment, human participants made choices between two options (colored squares), each associated with a drifting probability of reward, with the goal of earning as much money as possible. Incidental, trial-unique object pictures, unrelated to the choice, were overlaid on each option. The next day, participants were given a surprise memory test for these pictures. We found that better episodic memory was related to a decreased influence of recent reward experience on choice, both within and across participants. fMRI analyses further revealed that during learning the canonical striatal reward prediction error signal was significantly weaker when episodic memory was stronger. This decrease in reward prediction error signals in the striatum was associated with enhanced functional connectivity between the hippocampus and striatum at the time of choice. Our results suggest a mechanism by which memory encoding may compete for striatal processing and provide insight into how interactions between different forms of learning guide reward-based decision making.

Background: Sickness absence (SA), known as work disability justified by sick
leave, can be an indicator of workers health status. In municipal government, like the
rest of the country, the prevalence of SA and its main causes are still poorly
documented, and are restricted to the analysis of some occupational groups,
especially those who engage in health care or in institutions education. Estimates of
the magnitude of SA vary widely and socio-demographic aspects related to nature
and working conditions are among the main factors associated with the frequency
and duration. Aims: To study the prevalence and the factors related to SA workers
from the public sector in the municipality of Goiânia. Methods: Cross-sectional
population-based study assessing prevalence and factors associated with sick leave
lasting longer than three days for the health treatment from 2005 to 2010, in civil
servants. Outcomes: 40.578 sick leave were assessed among 14.484 absent
workers which generated 944.722 absent days. The indicators of sickness absence
in that period were: prevalence of sick leave of 39.0%, higher among education
professionals (47.7%) and health (41.9%), the mean duration of SA was 40 days /
year per worker away and the average duration of Licenses was 23 days per
episode. Predominance of female sexual workers...

Originada de inquietações presentes em nossa prática como professora atuante na rede regular de ensino, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo geral refletir sobre aspectos da construção identitária de alunos com necessidades especiais, na expectativa de contribuir para sua inserção na escola pública. Para alcançarmos essa meta, nosso objetivo específico é analisar e interpretar representações que alunos com necessidades especiais que frequentam a rede regular de ensino possuem de si e do outro. Temos como hipótese que se vivencia nas escolas de ensino público regular uma exclusão velada, que tem sido designada como inclusão pela sociedade. Para comprová-la, os principais questionamentos problematizados são: Como os alunos com necessidades especiais se veem e são vistos? Quais são suas representações sobre si e o outro? O que é inclusão para eles? Como se sentem na escola? Trata-se de uma pesquisa inscrita no viés discursivo, que se caracteriza como uma pesquisa de campo e tem como base o método arqueogenealógico, que problematiza, nos dizeres de alunos vistos como “deficientes intelectuais”, regularidades e dispersões que determinam discursos sobre sua construção identitária. Além da necessária revisão bibliográfica para construção do referencial teórico-metodológico (conteúdo do primeiro capítulo desta dissertação)...

Events of the past two years are a
reminder that crises are a recurring phenomenon with deep
and often protracted impacts on labor markets. This paper
examines the challenges inherent in crafting policy
responses, with particular attention to developing
countries. It focuses on the potential tradeoffs between
offsetting adverse short-term impacts and preserving
incentives for economic recovery and future growth, and
between protecting the most vulnerable and compensating
those most immediately impacted. It also highlights how
policymakers room for maneuver is constrained in crisis
times by deteriorating fiscal space, limited institutional
capacity, and mounting political pressures. Based on
empirical evidence from previous crises, the paper asserts
that taking a myopic and reactive approach may be costly and
counterproductive. Instead, it advocates a more
comprehensive approach, designed to build institutions -
such as automatic stabilizers and safety nets - that can
deliver a coordinated and coherent policy package. This
approach will make crises catalysts for institutional
changes and long-run growth.

This study uses data from the 2005 Albania Living Standards Measurement Study survey to assess the impact of past migration experience of Albanian households on non-farm business ownership through instrumental variables regression techniques. Considering the differences in earning potentials and opportunities for skill acquisition in different destination countries, we differentiate the impact of past household migration experience by main migrant destinations. The study also explores the heterogeneity of impact based on the timing of migration. The empirical results indicate that past household migration experience exerts a positive impact on the probability of owning a non-farm business. While one additional year in Greece increases the probability of household business ownership by roughly 6 percent, a similar experience in Italy or farther destinations raises the probability by over 25 percent. Although past household migration experience for the period of 1990-2000 is positively associated with the likelihood of owning a household enterprise, a similar association does not exist for the period of 2001-2004.

In view of its increasing importance,
and the dearth of information on return migration and its
impacts on source households, this study uses data from the
2005 Albania Living Standards Measurement Study survey and
assesses the impact of past migration experience of Albanian
households on non-farm business ownership through
instrumental variables regression techniques. Moreover,
considering the differences in earning potentials and
opportunities for skill acquisition in different destination
countries, the impact of household past migration experience
is differentiated by main migrant destinations, namely
Greece and Italy. The study also tests for the hypothesis of
the existence of migration cycles, by differentiating the
time spent abroad based on the year of return. The empirical
results indicate that household past migration experience
exerts a positive impact on the probability of owning a
non-farm business. While one additional year in Greece
increases the probability of household business ownership by

Youth are three times more likely to be
unemployed than adults, even in economies with strong
economic growth. This note is a tool to provide policymakers
and youth-serving organizations with a framework to better
diagnose short- to medium-run constraints facing the stock
of unemployed youth and to design evidence based youth
employment interventions. The note only addresses youth
employment; strategies to affect wages, productivity,
underemployment, or job quality are not directly discussed.
This note presents youth-oriented Active Labor Market
Programs (ALMPs) that conform to one of two criteria. Each
intervention either has been shown to have predominately
positive impact, as measured by rigorous impact evaluations,
or has weaker evidence of impact-rigorous evaluations with
mixed evidence of impact or strong positive monitoring
data-and is theoretically sound. Cost-effectiveness
information is presented when available. The note focuses on
programs that are appropriate to address constraints faced
by youth from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The openness or internationalization of
financial services is a complex issue because it is closely
related to structural reforms in the domestic financial
sector with some perceived implications for macroeconomic
stability. The authors investigate the impact of foreign
bank entry on the performance of domestic banks and how this
relationship is affected by the sequence of financial
liberalization. Their data set is constructed from the
BANKSCOPE database, including 30 industrial and developing
countries, and covering the period from 1995 to 2002. The
authors apply panel data regressions by pooling all
countries together, and by grouping countries according to
the sequence of their financial liberalization. One
observation based on descriptive analysis is that the degree
of openness to foreign bank entry varies a great deal, which
is not correlated with average income levels or with GDP
growth. Second, the sequence of financial liberalization
matters for the performance of the domestic banking sector:
After controlling for macroeconomic variables and grouping
countries by their sequence of liberalization...

Unemployment rates for tertiary-educated
youth in Jordan are high, as is the duration of
unemployment. Two randomized experiments in Jordan were used
to test different theories that may explain this phenomenon.
The first experiment tested the role of search and matching
frictions by providing firms and job candidates with an
intensive screening and matching service based on
educational backgrounds and psychometric assessments.
Although more than 1,000 matches were made, youth rejected
the opportunity to even have an interview in 28 percent of
cases, and when a job offer was received, they rejected this
offer or quickly quit the job 83 percent of the time. A
second experiment built on the first by examining the
willingness of educated, unemployed youth to apply for jobs
of varying levels of prestige. Youth applied to only a small
proportion of the job openings they were told about, with
application rates higher for higher prestige jobs than lower
prestige jobs. Youth failed to show up for the majority of
interviews scheduled for low prestige jobs. The results
suggest that reservation prestige is an important factor
underlying the unemployment of educated Jordanian youth.

Recent media reports of a perceived
skills problem in Lao PDR have spurred an intense focus on
skills development initiatives. Alarming media coverage of
rising wages and complaints among firms of a shortage of
skilled workers has raised concerns over whether Lao workers
are equipped with the skills sought by firms. The Government
and other partners have responded by channeling more
resources to skills development, for example with
investments in vocational training facilities to train more
workers. This report argues that the workforce problems
which Lao PDR faces do not only stem from problems in the
education sector. Looking only to skills development as a
solution would not address the fundamental problems
constraining economic growth, employment creation, and
poverty reduction. Creating an environment conducive for
farm and non-farm businesses to make investments and grow
remains an essential first step for skills development. As
World Bank (2004) states, Training does not create jobs.
Skills are a derived demand and that demand depends on
policies for growth and employment creation.

This note forms part of a broader
engagement between the World Bank and the Government of FYR
Macedonia on how to foster more and better jobs and make
sure that more marginalized groups, women, low earners,
skilled and unskilled youth, for example - can participate
and benefit from those jobs. It focuses on providing updated
labor market diagnostics based on the labor force surveys
between 2007 and 2011. The findings will be used as a basis
for further policy analysis. The remainder of this note is
organized as follows. Section two describes labor market
developments since 2007 and the conditions prevailing in
2011. Subsequent sections address the remaining challenges
and key policy options. The third section thus focuses on
raising productivity – critical to national economic
development and to ensure sustainable increases in earnings
over time in Macedonia. The fourth section discusses the
generational divide in terms of challenges in labor market
opportunities for the younger versus older generations. The
fifth section looks at workers that are particularly
disadvantaged in the labor market with a particular focus on
women. The sixth section concludes with the policy levers
that may help Macedonia move forward on the jobs agenda.

Youth employment issues are a major
concern for many countries because they have negative
effects on the welfare of young people, and may also
adversely affect economic performance and social stability.
This is the first Independent Evaluation Group (IEG)
evaluation of the World Bank Group's support to
countries trying to address youth employment issues. The
World Bank lending portfolio for youth employment is
relatively small, although components of programs appear in
57 countries. Most projects include interventions in skills
development and school-to-work transition. Half of the
projects include interventions to foster job creation and
work opportunities for youth. International Finance
Corporation (IFC) has a broad approach to job creation.
Between FY01 and FY11 youth employment has not been
specifically targeted, except in the Middle East and North
Africa region and in a small number of other interventions.
IFC invested $500 million to 50 investment operations and 18
advisory services to education. Although youth employment is

The authors follow the Hellerstein, Neumark, and Troske (1999) framework to estimate marginal productivity differentials and compare them with estimated relative wages. The analysis provides evidence on productivity and nonproductivity-based determinations of wages. Special emphasis is given to the effects of human capital variables, such as education, experience, and training on wages and productivity differentials. Higher education yields higher productivity. However, highly educated workers earn less than their productivity differentials would predict. On average, highly educated workers are unable to fully appropriate their productivity gains of education through wages. On the other hand, workers with more experience are more productive in the same proportion that they earn more in medium and large firms, meaning they are fully compensated for their higher productivity. Finally, workers in micro and small firms are paid more than what their productivity would merit. Training benefits firms and employees since it significantly increases workers' productivity and their earnings.

Lebanon has faced a continuous series of
economic setbacks fueled by mounting political uncertainties
and war over the decades. The current global financial
crisis compounds the levels of uncertainty and anxiety
facing households with regards to their future security. The
need for earned income and employment is therefore higher
than ever and an increasing number of women are entering the
labor market as a means of generating additional income for
themselves and their families. Women in Lebanon enjoy high
social indicators both in education and health. The female
to male ratios in secondary and tertiary enrollment are 110
and 116 percent respectively. However, women's
participation in the economy whether in the labor market or
private sector investment is relatively low, especially when
compared to their female counterparts in other similar
middle income countries. Female labor force participation in
Lebanon is 37 percent compared to 84 percent for men and

Although by regional standards,
Kenya's financial system is relatively well developed
and diversified, major structural impediments prevent it
from reaching its full potential. Crosscountry comparisons,
however, show the importance of a well-developed financial
sector for long-term economic growth and poverty
alleviation. Experience from other developing economies has
shown the detrimental effect of government ownership and the
positive impact that foreign bank ownership can have on the
development of a market-based financial system. Analyzing
and decomposing the high interest rate spreads and margins
in Kenya helps identify structural impediments that drive
the high cost of and low access to financial services. The
limited information sharing on debtors, deficiencies in the
legal and judicial system, the limited number of strong and
reputable banks and non-transparency and uncertainty in the
banking market are major impediments to the development of
Kenya's financial system, to reducing spreads and to
widening access.

Background: Due to technical advances and progressive specialization, patient physician relationship evolved from being based on confidence and comprehension to be impersonal and contractual. Aim: To evaluate the change produced in medical students' concept of the meaning of disease, after living an experience of accompanying a patient and their family environment. Material and methods: We used a qualitative research methodology based on participative-action to evaluate an educational method in which a group of third year medical students accompanied a previously selected chronic patient during two months. We performed two focal groups, one previous to the experience and the second one a month later. Additionally, every student wrote a personal narration of the experience. We compared the students' perception of the meaning of disease for the patients and their relatives, before and after the experience. Results: The students confirmed their previous conception about chronic disease, but they also discovered the ways in which some patients and their families overcome their ¡imitations. They pointed out their belief that the physician's comprehension of the meaning of disease for the patient and the family, a need to practice a good medicine and that this knowledge change the physician-patient relationship. Conclusions: This experience was an effective way of ¡earning the meaning of disease...
