O presente artigo trata da implantação e atuação do NAF Unoesc Joaçaba no segundo semestre de 2016, por meio de cooperação entre Receita Federal do Brasil e a Universidade do Oeste de Santa Catarina - Unoesc. O objetivo interinstitucional é o atendimento ao contribuinte de baixa renda de forma gratuita e promover educação fiscal à comunidade. O NAF Unoesc Joaçaba é um projeto de extensão da Universidade, com a atuação de professores e acadêmicos, com interação e experiências profissionais concretas com o atendimento da comunidade. A abordagem foi qualitativa com aplicação de questionário a integralidade dos contribuintes atendidos. O resultado mostrou que foram atendidos 53 contribuintes em um total de sete tipos de serviços fiscais, com total resolutividade dos casos apreciados. A conclusão do estudo é que a cooperação interinstitucional é relevante para a aproximação do Estado-cidadão, tornando a relação horizontal e propiciando informação e resolução eficaz para os problemas do cidadão como também contribuindo para a formação de profissionais qualificados e cidadãos conscientes. This article deals with the implementation and performance of the NAF Unoesc Joaçaba in the second half of 2016, through cooperation between the Federal Revenue Service of Brazil and the University of the West of Santa Catarina - Unoesc. The interinstitutional objective is to provide low-income taxpayer assistance free of charge and to promote community tax education. The NAF Unoesc Joaçaba is an extension project of the University, with the participation of professors and academics, with interaction and concrete professional experiences with the community service. The approach was qualitative with the application of a questionnaire to the totality of the taxpayers attended. The result showed that 53 taxpayers were served in a total of seven types of tax services, with full resolution of the cases considered. The conclusion of the study is that interinstitutional cooperation is relevant to the approximation of the citizen state, making the relationship horizontal and providing information and effective resolution to the problems of the citizen as well as contributing to the formation of qualified professionals and conscious citizens.

Each year, the federal government provides billions of dollars in support for low-income families in their acquisition of housing. In this analysis, we examine how several of these subsidized housing programs, public housing and Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) financed housing, relate to patterns of school segregation for children. We use GIS to examine the location of subsidized housing vis-à-vis district boundaries and school attendance boundaries in four Texas counties. We then examine patterns of segregation between schools with and without subsidized housing in their attendance zones, as well as the extent of economic and racial isolation experienced by students in those schools. Our results illustrate that public housing and LIHTC housing developments are zoned to racially and economically isolated schools, and that developments are associated with especially high levels of economic and racial isolation for Black and Latinx students. We conclude by discussing implications for housing and education policy to ameliorate these patterns.

This paper focuses on explaining how individuals set goals on multiple performance episodes, in the context of performance feedback comparing their performance on each episode with their respective goal. The proposed model was tested through a longitudinal study of 493 university students’ actual goals and performance on business school exams. Results of a structural equation model supported the proposed conceptual model in which self-efficacy and emotional reactions to feedback mediate the relationship between feedback and subsequent goals. In addition, as expected, participants’ standing on a dispositional measure of behavioral inhibition influenced the strength of their emotional reactions to negative feedback.

Abstract. Identifying pilot attributes associated with risk is important, especially in general aviation where pilot error is implicated in most accidents. This research examined the relationship of pilot age, expertise, and cognitive functioning to deviations from an ideal circuit trajectory. In all, 54 pilots, of varying age, flew a Cessna 172 simulator. Cognitive measures were obtained using the CogScreen-AE ( Kay, 1995 ). Older age and lower levels of expertise and cognitive functioning were associated with significantly greater flight path deviations. The relationship between age and performance was fully mediated by a cluster of cognitive factors: speed and working memory, visual attention, and cognitive flexibility. These findings add to the literature showing that age-related changes in cognition may impact pilot performance.

Abstract. Women have a minority position within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and, consequently, are likely to face more adversities at work. This diary study takes a look at a facilitating factor for women’s research performance within academia: daily work engagement. We examined the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between two behaviors (i.e., daily networking and time control) and daily work engagement, as well as its effect on the relationship between daily work engagement and performance measures (i.e., number of publications). Results suggest that daily networking and time control cultivate men’s work engagement, but daily work engagement is beneficial for the number of publications of women. The findings highlight the importance of work engagement in facilitating the performance of women in minority positions.
