Conference Registration

Abstract Background A proposal to encourage the preregistration of research on research integrity was developed and adopted as the Amsterdam Agenda at the 5th World Conference on Research Integrity (Amsterdam, 2017). This paper reports on the degree to which abstracts of the 6th World Conference in Research Integrity (Hong Kong, 2019) reported on preregistered research. Methods Conference registration data on participants presenting a paper or a poster at 6th WCRI were made available to the research team. Because the data set was too small for inferential statistics this report is limited to a basic description of results and some recommendations that should be considered when taking further steps to improve preregistration. Results 19% of the 308 presenters preregistered their research. Of the 56 usable cases, less than half provided information on the six key elements of the Amsterdam Agenda. Others provided information that invalidated their data, such as an uninformative URL. There was no discernable difference between qualitative and quantitative research. Conclusions Some presenters at the WCRI have preregistered their research on research integrity, but further steps are needed to increase frequency and completeness of preregistration. One approach to increase preregistration would be to make it a requirement for research presented at the World Conferences on Research Integrity.

The group of older consumers is gradually increasing in the structure of the world consumer market. The companies that have discerned the huge potential in this segment often achieve better results and in some cases become market leaders. It proves that in order to achieve sustainable competitiveness it is necessary to study the category of aged consumers in-depth, to realize their characteristics and the mechanisms of formation of their perception. One of the important tools for achieving this goal are exhibitions, which not only provide an opportunity to build marketing communication with target audiences, but also allow to evaluate, form and correct their perceptions. This paper deals with the approaches to adaptation of an exhibition event for the target audience of older ages. The methodology of empirical research included qualitative and quantitative research, involving the participant observation method within the preparation of the “50 PLUS” International Forum and Exhibition.

Active Debate

Educational research has several competing views of the social sciences, and these are often referred to as paradigms. Hammersley (2013, p. 13) portrays paradigms as ‘not simply methodologies; they are ways of looking at the world, different assumptions about what the world is like and how we can understand or know about it’.  The paradigm wars’ boils down to a simple conflict between academics and scholars of qualitative and quantitative research which concerns the relative merits of the different perspectives. In the 1980s, the objectivity-seeking quantitative researcher diminished, whilst, post positivists, interpretivists, and critical theorists flourished throughout this same period. Mixed methods research (MMR) combines elements of both qualitative and quantitative approaches and has often been branded as a ‘transformative paradigm’. The importance of MMR means that the author can combine knowledge sets and move away from one’s allegiance to a particular research perspective. This review of literature will examine the paradigms that are commonly associated with education research. There is an active debate in the research community on the paradigms wars, and this will also be examined in relation to MMR.

Com esse artigo – aliando os métodos qualitativo e quantitativo de pesquisa – analisamos a relação comercial bilateral sino-angolana – China-Angola – hodierna com enfoque na questão do petróleo. Como parte de um panorama econômico globalizado, buscamos identificar as assimetrias nessa relação à luz do esquema “Prebichiano” de Centro-Periferia” – elaborado pelo economista Raúl Prebisch no século passado –. A China, um país emergente – em desenvolvimento – (ou já de Centro para alguns pensadores), tem de fato uma economia pujante com uma capilaridade ainda complexa de dimensionar. Enquanto Angola é um país que ainda pode ser conceituado – sob vários aspectos – “subdesenvolvido” (ou seja, um país periférico). Esse artigo pode também ser concebido como mais um passo para entender o que a China almeja econômica, é claro, – mas também politicamente do restante do Continente Africano, do mundo e do Brasil –. Ensejando possibilidades de pesquisar especificamente as relações da China com outros países africanos lusófonos, tais como: Moçambique (fornecedor de madeira para os chineses) e Cabo Verde (fornecedor de pescados para os chineses). Por fim, procuramos extrair das relações comerciais bilaterais sino-angolanas, breves lições para o comércio bilateral sino-brasileiro – China-Brasil – já que a China é hoje o nosso maior parceiro econômico. With this article - combining the qualitative and quantitative research methods - we analyze the Sino-Angolan - China-Angola - bilateral trade relationship today focusing on the oil issue. As part of a globalized economic landscape, we seek to identify asymmetries in this relationship in light of the “Prebichian” Center-Periphery scheme” - elaborated by economist Raúl Prebisch in the last century -. China, an emerging developing country (or already a Center for some thinkers), has indeed a thriving economy with a capillarity that is still complex to scale. While Angola is a country that can still be conceptualized - in many ways - “underdeveloped” (ie a peripheral country). This article can also be conceived as a further step in understanding what China wants economically, of course - but also politically from the rest of the African continent, the world and Brazil -. As a possibility to investigate specifically China's relations with other Lusophone African countries, such as: Mozambique (Chinese wood supplier) and Cape Verde (Chinese fish supplier). Finally, we seek to draw from Sino-Angolan bilateral trade relations, brief lessons for Sino-Brazilian bilateral trade - China-Brazil - as China is today our largest economic partner.

Levando em consideração o local de ocorrência, a maioria aconteceu no hospital (67,82%). Por fim, a Macrorregião de Saúde mais afetada foi a Sudeste. Conclusões: O perfil, portanto, dos óbitos por Chagas no Tocantins entre 2008 e 2018 é composto por homens da raça parda, entre 70 e 79 anos. Mais de 67% dos óbitos ocorreram nos hospitais. Além disso, ao comparar os óbitos no Tocantins com os demais estados do país, nota-se a necessidade de elaboração de programas de saúde, devendo-se aplicar as informações demonstradas por este estudo para subsidiar essas condutas de saúde pública. Palavras-chave: Doença de Chagas; Perfil de Saúde; Mortalidade.   ABSTRACT Objective: This study aims to investigate and trace the Epidemiological Profile of deaths caused by Chagas Disease in the State of Tocantins from 2008 to 2018. Methods: This is a longitudinal, qualitative and quantitative research, based on data obtained from DATASUS and IBGE for each municipality in Tocantins, between 2008 and 2018. The data collected were: absolute number of deaths related to Chagas disease; number of doctors; number of community health agents (ACS); and number of Health Surveillance Units (UVS). The deaths were obtained separately, according to the municipality of residence, for: each year; sex; ethnicity; age group; schooling levels and place of registration. Information about the beneficiary population of Health Plans in Tocantins was accessed via ANS. Results: The deaths analyzed in the period from 2008 to 2018 were 578. Observing the gender variable, there is a predominance of males with 60%. With regard to skin color, the brown color leads with 57.96%. The most affected age group was between 70 and 79 years old with 169 deaths. From 4 to 7 years of study time, the incidence decreases progressively as schooling increases. Taking into account the place of occurrence, most occurred in the hospital (67.82%). Finally, the Health Macroregion most affected was the Southeast. Conclusion: The profile, therefore, of deaths by Chagas in Tocantins between 2008 and 2018 is composed of men of the brown race, between 70 and 79 years old. More than 67% of deaths occurred in hospitals. In addition, when comparing deaths in Tocantins with other states in the country, there is a need for the elaboration of health programs, and the information shown in this study should be applied to support these public health practices.
