Review Of The Literature

Resumo Genericamente, a capacidade institucional (CI) dos governos é compreendida como o conjunto de capacidades das instituições para a consecução dos objetivos públicos. Contudo, as conceituações disponíveis na literatura mostram grande variação. O objetivo deste estudo consistiu na desagregação do constructo capacidade institucional em suas dimensões constitutivas. A busca de variáveis (proxies) atinentes ao contexto brasileiro e que possibilitem, empiricamente, a mensuração e operacionalização da CI se deu mediante extensa revisão de literatura a partir de 3 perspectivas: a) a análise da rede de autores teve por objetivo elucidar quais são o(s) pesquisador(es) de referência nos estudos sobre a CI; b) a técnica de classificação hierárquica descendente (CHD) teve por objetivo distinguir, caso existam, as classes que representam formas distintas de discurso sobre o conceito de CI; e c) a técnica de árvore de palavras possibilitou a visualização das conexões identificadas entre a palavra-chave, capacidade institucional, e todo o corpus textual. Conclui-se que é possível avançar empiricamente nos estudos sobre a CI a partir do exame das dimensões fiscal, administrativa e política dos governos.

The Subject

O estudo do Planejamento familiar, no contexto da bioética, abre-se para diversas perspectivas, entre elas a valorização dos seus diferentes atores. Situado neste contexto o artigo tem como objetivo identificar o perfil de gênero na produção científica sobre Planejamento Familiar no Brasil, entre 2000 e 2014, assim como a área de formação e especialização dos autores. Foram utilizadas metodologias que permitiram mapear o estado da arte do tema estudado, a partir de uma revisão da literatura. O resultado da pesquisa identifica que a produção científica sobre Planejamento Familiar no Brasil se compõe de perfil destacadamente feminino (71,76%). Dos 73 artigos analisados, 42 (57,53%) o foco do tema está direcionado à mulher assim como evidencia-se a área de ciências da saúde com maior concentração das publicações do tema.  Este aspecto da pesquisa abre para uma realidade complexa onde se buscam criticamente as razões para a pesquisa em Planejamento Familiar ter ênfase na mulher e ser um tema de relevância nas ciências da saúde.Palavras-chave: Produção científica, Planejamento Familiar, Gênero.  ABSTRACT: The study of Family Planning, in the context of bioethics, opens to diverse perspectives, among them the appreciation of their different agents. Situated in this context the article aims to identify the profile of gender in scientific literature on Family Planning in Brazil, between 2000 and 2014, as well as the area of training and specialization of the authors. Methodologies were used which allowed to map the State of the art of the subject studied, from a review of the literature. The results found identify that the scientific production on Family Planning in Brazil is formed with a outstandingly female profile (71,76%). Of the 73 articles examined, 42 (57.53%) the focus of the topic is directed to women as well as showing the health sciences area with highest concentration of publications. This aspect of the research opens to a complex reality where we seek critically the reasons for Research in Family Planning have emphasis on woman and be a topic of relevance in health sciences.Keywords: Scientific Production, Family Planning, Gender.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the state of the art in anthropometric measuring devices used for mass screening. In addition, technologies which could be used for automated mass screening are identified and described. A review of the literature identified only two operational anthropometric measurement devices currently used for mass screening. A variety of potentially applicable measurement techniques including acoustic, light, electro-magnetic, potentiometric/electro-optical (including digitizing arms) technologies were identified and described. Data describing the capabilities and limitations of these systems are also provided.

Abstract A review of the literature and the state-of-the-art in research and development of miniature heat exchangers is presented in this paper. The authors provide a discussion of what makes the micro- and meso-scales important, highlight the design constraints and challenges that surface when miniaturizing a heat exchanger, and outline and discuss the outstanding practical and scientific issues in this area. Finally, the most recent advances in manufacturing processes and application of these miniature heat exchangers are covered in this article.

Immune Systems

This chapter aims to review the state of the art in algorithms of multiobjective optimization with artificial immune systems (MOAIS). As it will be focused in the chapter, Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) have some intrinsic characteristics which make them well suited as multiobjective optimization algorithms. Following this basic idea, different implementations have been proposed in the literature. This chapter aims to provide a thorough review of the literature on multiobjective optimization algorithms based on the emulation of the immune system.

In recent years, an increasing enthusiasm has been observed towards artificial intelligence and machine learning, involving different areas of medicine. Among these, although still in the embryonic stage, the dermatopathological field has also been partially involved, with the attempt to develop and train algorithms that could assist the pathologist in the differential diagnosis of complex melanocytic lesions. In this article, we face this new challenge of the modern era, carry out a review of the literature regarding the state of the art and try to determine promising future perspectives.

Inclusion Criteria

From the time when the first formal SA theories were introduced (Endsley 1995; Smith & Hancock, 1995), an underlying ontological debate concerning the nature of human perception and cognition became evident. Indeed, despite more than two decades have passed since their publication, SA epistemological status and methodology are still object of dispute. For that reason, and bearing in mind the ultimate practice-oriented goal of developing/adapting SA measurement methods for elite soccer, a systematic review of the literature was performed regarding the definition and the methods used for SA measurement in expert populations. Fifty-four studies (N=54) met the established inclusion criteria and revealed important differences concerning SA definition and assessment across different operational domains. The results are discussed regarding both the state of the art of SA literature and the adaption/development of SA assessment methods for elite soccer.
