Topic of discussions over the last decades, the literature related to the care of patients suffering from poly-trauma, under the assistance point of view, is sufficiently consolidated concerning to the adoption of best practices, what, usually are conducted and disseminated by accrediting organizations. However, expanding the search frontier beyond the assistance dimension, it's noticed the divergences between the recent researches or theoretical shortcomings regarding to the design and management of these operations. In face of this finding, noticed from a literature review in the most important bases of operations management and health, it's adopted a conceptual model which covers relevant elements of the project of an operation, such as: strategy, capacity, human resources, incentive systems, organizational structure and decision making; in order to systematize the current stage of the field, highlighting the differences between recent studies and proposing a set of practices and premises, which are necessary for the operationalization of the proposed model.

This mixed method research accomplished a literature review about acculturation on the earlier The American Journal of Sociology. The word acculturation scarcely appeared. However, topics related to acculturation were usual, i.e., race, immigration, colonial, intercultural influence, and still gender. Assimilation, multicultural and fusion works appeared, and the pervasive was the multicultural model. The research found out that the multicultural model was grounded in the 19th century. Multiculturalism had its roots on the liberal WASP culture. As Herbert Spencer, the journal often praised minimal intercultural contact in order to achieve maintenance and cultural diversity. The pervasive attitude wanted cultural adaptation with cultural maintenance, and, at the same time, it vindicated the WASP cultural superiority. Integration of differentiated categories of thought, races, genders, and migrants were organized mainly by progress, competition, and social dominance narratives, and it impaired the culture of the separated but equal.

PurposeThis paper aims to develop a cultural diversity management (CDM) framework to enhance the performance of architecture design firms (ADFs) in Egypt.Design/methodology/approachA research methodology consisting of literature review, case studies and survey questionnaire was designed to achieve the abovementioned aim. First, literature review was used to investigate the concepts of globalization, international construction, diversity, diversity management (DM) and organizational performance. Second, four case studies were presented and analyzed. The first two cases explored the role of CDM towards enhancing the performance of ADFs, while the last two cases showed initiatives carried out by NGOs to integrate architects of color into their communities through training programs that enhanced their skills and uplifted their societies. Third, a survey questionnaire was carried out with a representative sample of ADFs in Egypt to investigate their perception and application of DM towards enhancing organizational performance. Based on the results of the above, the research developed a framework to enhance the performance of ADFs through managing culturally diverse workforces.FindingsLiterature review showed that diversity is not limited to race and gender; however, it includes other types such as disability, socioeconomic status, thinking style, culture, personality, life experience, religious and spiritual beliefs. Despite the benefits that diversity brings to ADFs such as stimulating creativity and increasing productivity, poor management of diverse workforce leads to dysfunctional conflicts, frustration and confusion. Results of case studies showed that ADFs that adopt a CDM approach succeeded in enhancing their performance. In addition, training initiatives carried out by NGOs succeeded to integrate architects of color into their communities and uplifting their societies. Results of data analysis identified the barriers to integrating diverse workforce in ADFs. These barriers include “Poor communication and spirit of collaboration between diverse workforce”, “Resistance to change”, “Lack of maintaining wage equity and promotion between different workforces based on gender”, “Poor organization culture” and “Lack of Senior Management involvement”. This necessitated taking action towards developing a framework to overcome these barriers to manage diverse workforces towards enhancing the performance of ADFs in Egypt.Research limitations/implicationsBecause of the conceptual nature of the proposed framework, it has to be tested and validated to ensure its capability to overcome the barriers of managing culturally diverse workforces as an approach for enhancing the performance of ADFs in Egypt.Practical implicationsThis research presents a practical solution to enhance the performance of ADFs in Egypt through managing cultural workforce diversity.Originality/valueThe research identified and analyzed the barriers that obstruct the integration of diverse workforces in ADFs. The research tackled a topic that received scant attention in construction literature with particular emphasis on Egypt. In addition, this paper proposed a CDM framework to enhance the performance of ADFs in Egypt, which represents a synthesis that is novel and creative in thought and adds value to the body of knowledge.

Resumo: O presente artigo analisa teoricamente os impactos do programa Escola Sem Partido (ESP) nos conteúdos das disciplinas de Ciências e Biologia na Educação Básica. Parte de uma pesquisa documental dos sites do movimento, das bases contidas em Projetos de Lei (PL) em tramitação e da revisão de literatura para se diagnosticar, primeiramente, a sua origem, e, em seguida, os impactos pra o Ensino de Ciências e Biologia. São apontados alguns conteúdos do Ensino Fundamental e Médio que sofrerão restrições com as proposições do ESP, em destaque: Origem da Vida e do Universo, Darwinismo, Ecologia e Educação Ambiental, Corpo, Sexualidade, Gênero, Diversidade Cultural, Etnia e Raça, Tecnologias de Vacinação, Prevenção e Tratamentos de Saúde. O ESP visa um Ensino de Ciências e Biologia acrítico, baseado apenas na transmissão de conteúdos e sem o favorecimento de debates plurais com professores/as e alunos/as. Por essa lógica, torna-se um perigo à liberdade nas escolas e ao conhecimento científico crítico e engajado.Palavras-chave: Ensino Fundamental e Médio; Ensino de Ciências e Biologia; Políticas Educacionais. The politics of the unpolitical school and its impacts on the contents of science and biology in basic education’sAbstract: This article aims to analyze the impacts of the Unpolitical School Program (ESP) on the contents of Science and Biology subjects in basic education’s.

Some contents of Elementary and High School are pointed out that restrictions with the proposals of ESP, in highlight: Origin of Life and the Universe, Darwinism, Ecology and Environmental Education, Body, Sexuality, Gender, Cultural Diversity, Ethnicity and Race, Vaccination Technologies, Prevention and Health treatments.
