The Impact

True experimental design and quasi-experimental design are considered to be rigorous research designs appropriate for assessing the impact of pedagogical interventions. This study explores the extent and application of experimental design in impact research on entrepreneurship education (EE) based on a systematic literature review. The findings reveal a substantial lack of methodologically rigorous studies on EE impact, which has severe implications for the accumulated knowledge on the subject. Furthermore, the article summarizes the findings from the body of experimental impact studies with a strong research design and concludes by indicating fruitful avenues for future research.

RESUMOO artigo analisa os impactos causados pelo processo de urbanização nacional relacionados à moradia, com base nos estudos de Douglass North, da Nova Economia Institucional (NEI). A metodologia é caracterizada por um estudo exploratório a partir de uma revisão de literatura referente ao processo de urbanização brasileiro e a abordagem sobre o direito de propriedade sob a perspectiva da teoria economia institucionalista. Os resultados teóricos e empíricos acumulados pela NEI oferecem um instrumental importante para uma melhor compreensão das várias interfaces entre o sistema econômico e as instituições legais e jurídicas que condicionam as atividades e transações econômicas relacionadas à moradia. As ideias de North mostraram-se adequadas na discussão do tema, haja vista que se o direito de propriedade for mais bem definido, atribuído e garantido, nessas comunidades, menores serão os custos de transação e, consequentemente, maior será o valor do ativo e da renda do proprietário deste.Palavras-chave: Urbanização brasileira. Dinâmica populacional. Direito de propriedade urbano. ABSTRACTThe article analyzes the impacts caused by the process of national urbanization related to housing, based on Douglass North studies of the New Institutional Economics (NEI). The methodology is characterized by an exploratory study based on a literature review regarding the Brazilian urbanization process and the approach on property rights from the perspective of institutionalist economics theory. The theoretical and empirical results accumulated by the NEI provide an important tool for a better understanding of the various interfaces between the economic system and the legal and juridical institutions that condition the economic activities and transactions related to housing. The ideas of North were adequate in the discussion of the subject, since if the property rights are better defined, assigned and guaranteed in these communities, the lower the transaction costs and, consequently, the greater the value of the asset and of the owner's income.Keywords: Brazilian urbanization. Population dynamics. Urban property rights.

The Brazilian market for food products with low lactose content and foods for the vegan population, lactose intolerant and even the public that seeks lactose-free food by preference needs diversification. This review sought to describe articles that addressed the development and characterization of non-dairy based desserts. A search was made for references in the CAPES, Lilacs, Scielo, and ScienceDirect databases in September 2019 covering the period 2010-2020 and using the descriptive terms "Frozen desserts " or "Dairy alternatives " or "N on dairy "Or" Ice cream ". As selection criteria, research articles in English and Portuguese involving non-dairy desserts were used. The search allowed the identification of 5 articles that met the established criteria. Although the use of cow's milk substitutes has been explored by the dessert industry, there is still much to explore about the alternatives available to innovate in the design of non-dairy based desserts, so a review on the subject is extremely interesting.

Tracheal Secretion

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Despite the benefits, tracheostomized children are susceptible to respiratory infections, since the tube is located in a strategic region where there is colonization by several bacteria and biofilm formation. Biofilm is formed when the bacteria adhere strongly to the surfaces of the tubes, providing protection against various types of aggression, such as antibiotic treatment. OBJECTIVE To carry out a literature review of the last ten years on tracheostomized pediatric patients, in order to characterize the bacteria isolated in children’s tracheal secretions, and verify which ones are the most frequent. METHODS Two authors searched the Lilacs, SciELO, Medline Plus, and PubMed databases. The MeSH terms used were: ‘tracheostomy’ and ‘tracheotomy’ associated with ‘infections’, ‘children’, ‘child’, and ‘bacterial’ as qualifiers. RESULTS Of the 512 studies on the subject, 19 were selected for review. The total number of children evaluated in the studies was 4,472, with a mean age of 7.5 years. As for the bacteria found in the secretions of tracheostomized children, 12 species of bacteria were more frequent, P. aeruginosa was the predominant bacterium, followed by S. aureus (63.1%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (57.8%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (47.3%), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (47.3%). CONCLUSION One of the main complications treated in tracheostomized patients were infections, since the respiratory system is colonized by several bacteria that can cause serious infections, which are associated with the formation of biofilms. The predominant bacterium in most of the studies was P. aeruginosa, and the second species commonly reported was S. aureus.

Abstract. Aims: To discuss and review the latest research related to gambling expansion. Method: We completed a literature review and empirical comparison of peer reviewed findings related to gambling expansion and subsequent gambling-related changes among the population. Results: Although gambling expansion is associated with changes in gambling and gambling-related problems, empirical studies suggest that these effects are mixed and the available literature is limited. For example, the peer review literature suggests that most post-expansion gambling outcomes (i. e., 22 of 34 possible expansion outcomes; 64.7 %) indicate no observable change or a decrease in gambling outcomes, and a minority (i. e., 12 of 34 possible expansion outcomes; 35.3 %) indicate an increase in gambling outcomes. Conclusions: Empirical data related to gambling expansion suggests that its effects are more complex than frequently considered; however, evidence-based intervention might help prepare jurisdictions to deal with potential consequences. Jurisdictions can develop and evaluate responsible gambling programs to try to mitigate the impacts of expanded gambling.

Background: Research shows that there is a high prevalence of suicide among nurses. Despite this, it has been 15 years since the last literature review on the subject was published. Aim: The aim of this article is to review the knowledge currently available on the risk of suicide among nurses and on contributory risk factors. Method: A search was conducted in electronic databases using keywords related to prevalence and risk factors of suicide among nurses. The abstracts were analyzed by reviewers according to selection criteria. Selected articles were submitted to a full-text review and their key elements were summarized. Results: Only nine articles were eligible for inclusion in this review. The results of this literature review highlight both the troubling high prevalence of suicide among nurses as well as the persistent lack of studies that examine this issue. Conclusion: Considering that the effects of several factors related to nurses' work and work settings are associated with high stress, distress, or psychiatric problems, we highlight the relevance of investigating work-related factors associated with nurses' risk of suicide. Several avenues for future studies are discussed as well as possible research methods.

This paper focuses on the understanding of service quality in the context of Vietnamese universities. It proposes an approach for measuring the quality of the higher education service provided by universities in Vietnam. Firstly, an exploratory study was conducted. Then, the set of items which were generated became the subject of a questionnaire that was then administered to 675 students of a Vietnamese university to determine the dimensions of higher education service quality in this context. The obtained results permit us to appropriate a measurement scale which is slightly different from the SERVQUAL scale widely known as the standard for measuring service quality. The results also show that tangible elements, responsiveness and assurance seem to be three specific dimensions of the higher education service of Vietnamese universities.
