Transforming HR practices with Behavioral Economics

Behaviors Economics is presently a thriving field of research for many researchers. It offers a descriptive model of decision making which is entirely different from the traditional decision making models of economics. This research paper is an attempt to bring insights from Behavioral Economics which can help Human Resource personnel to address the issues like Dynamic Inconsistency and incentive design strategies. The author argues that the insight from Behavioral Economics can transform HR practices. HR managers and leaders stand to benefit from the emerging evidence from the lab and field of behavioral economics that calls for s rethinking of traditional decision making model

Um mundo sem adultos: efeitos subjetivos dos adolescentes à deriva / A world without adults: subjective effects of adolescents adrift / Un mundo sin adultos: efectos subjetivos de los adolescentes a deriva

Este artigo apresenta uma discussão sobre a adolescência a partir das características da contemporaneidade. Nesse percurso, entre as diversas leituras de estudiosos dos nossos dias, optamos por tratar do tema a partir da teorização sobre a hipermodernidade e em diálogo com autores da psicanálise foi possível considerar os efeitos do discurso capitalista nesse contexto. Ao abordarmos a inconsistência estrutural do Outro, avançamos em nossa reflexão para construir a hipótese de que a época atual é marcada pelo desvelamento da sua inconsistência. Acrescentamos que tal desvelamento não é sem consequências para os sujeitos adolescentes, há o imperativo de gozo e a vacuidade do lugar de adulto na contemporaneidade que incidem sobre as identificações e o laço social. No tempo lógico da adolescência, os sujeitos precisam inventar saídas para lidar com o mal-estar decorrente do encontro com o real do sexo.

This article presents a discussion about adolescence, based on the characteristics of contemporaneity. In this way, among the different readings of today's scholars, it was decided to deal with the topic using the theorization on hypermodernity and, in dialogue with authors of psychoanalysis, it was possible to consider the effects of the capitalist discourse in this context. When we approach the structural inconsistency of the Other, we advance in our reflection to construct the hypothesis that the present epoch is marked by the unveiling of its inconsistency. We add that such unveiling is not without consequences for the adolescent subjects, there is the imperative of enjoyment and the emptiness of the place of the adult in the contemporaneity that affect identifications and the social bond. In the logical time of the adolescence, the subjects have to invent solutions to deal with the malaise resulting from the encounter with the real of sex.

Conflict of interest disclosure and interpretation – rest assured the medical professional in the audience is perceptive, alert and smart

INTRODUCTION:We present data from a systematic survey on conflict of interest (COI) disclosure and its interpretation by the doctors participating in continuing medical education (CME).METHODS:A brief 12 question online Google survey with multiple choice options (read, select, and click) was done among Indian practicing doctors using links shared through WhatsApp through the internet over a 72 h period.RESULTS:Of the 386 replies, 373 unique replies were eligible for evaluation. The majority found CME activities beneficial. About 73% of participants would watch out for bias, even if the speaker shows COI disclosure slide. The use of brand/trade names was considered as a flag for bias by the majority. About 99% wanted the speaker to show a final take home message slide. Cross verification of the data presented by comparing to published data was done in more than 75% of instances by only 25% of the participating doctors. A significantly higher number of doctors found bias when CME activities were being organized by the health-care industry as compared to programs of medical bodies/societies/organizations.DISCUSSION:COI considerations are given due to the importance of medical professionals. However, doctors are smart enough to understand the limitations of such disclosures and remain alert to ensure they are not influenced by any bias. Take home message slide gives the presenters opportunity to share their insights and allows the audience to make their own judgment on the impartiality of the data presented. The doctors are aware that bias could be more when CME activities are organized by healthcare industry and take appropriate precautions.CONCLUSION:COI is is given due importance by the medical professionals. COI disclosures are often incomplete. Doctors remain alert to ensure they are not influenced by biased presentations. Concluding take home message slide is unanimously recommended. Presentation bias is more when healthcare industry is directly organizing educational and promotional activities.

O avesso da psicanálise: novo estatuto do pai? / The reverse side of psychoanalysis: a new law of the father?

Intenta-se, neste artigo, através do debate teórico, demonstrar que Lacan, em seu seminário O avesso da psicanálise (1969-1970/1992), formula as bases para um novo estatuto do pai que vai além do pai da metáfora paterna. Para realizar essa reflexão, apresenta uma articulação entre a inconsistência do Outro e a inconsistência do pai, tendo como fio condutor o real como impossível. O artigo está dividido em duas partes. Na primeira, destaca algumas formulações de Lacan, desde o final da década de 1950, que o levam a ultrapassar o pai freudiano. Na segunda, apresenta algumas vias percorridas por Lacan em O avesso da psicanálise, para alcançar o novo estatuto do pai.

One strives, in this article through the theoretical debate, to demonstrate that Lacan, in his seminar The reverse side of psychoanalysis (1969-1970/1992), formulates the basis for a new law of the father that goes beyond the father of the paternal metaphor. In order to carry out this reflection, he presents an articulation between the inconsistency of the Other and the inconsistency of the father, having as line of thinking the real as impossible. The article is divided in two parts. In the first one, it highlights some Lacan’s formulations, since the end of the decade of 1950, that lead him to surpass the Freudian father. In the second, it presents certain ways covered by Lacan in The reverse side of psychoanalysis, in order to reach a new law of the father.

Analysis of related detections before blood transfusion in tumor patients / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To investigate the detection situation and distribution of blood typing positive and negative disagree and irregular antibody positive in blood transfusion related tests in tumor patients ,and to make comparative analysis with the data of non‐tumor patients .Methods The results data in 16 760 patients with blood preparation in our hospital from November 2011 to June 2015 were selected and divided into the tumor patients group and the non‐tumor patients group .Among them ,the results of blood typing positive and negative disagree and positive in the irregular antibody screening test were statistically analyzed .Results 27 cases were ABO blood type positive typing inconsistent with reverse typing ,the occurrence rate of the tumor patients group was 0 .65% ,which of the non‐tumor patients group was 0 .08% ;the irregular antibody positive was in 49 cases ,in which 18 cases were in the tumor patients group with the occurrence rate of 0 .74% ,31 cases were in the non‐tumor patients group witht e occurrence rate of 0 .22% ,showing that the occurrence proportion of blood typing positive and reverse inconsistency and irregular antigen posi‐tive was higher than that of the non‐tumor patients group ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) ,31 cases in the non‐cancer group ,the positive rate is 0 .22% .18 cases in cancer‐group with 0 .74% incidence rate .It shows that the proportion of posi‐tive in cancer patients was higher than non‐cancer patients (P<0 .05) .The main influencing factors affecting blood typing problems in the tumor patients group and non‐tumor patients group were the antibody weakening ,followed by autoantibody ,etc .the reasons for the irregular antibody screening positive in the two groups were mainly the specific antibodies .Conclusion The disease charac‐teristics of tumor patients are easier to cause ABO blood type positive and reverse inconsistency and irregular antibody screening positive .In the work ,more attention should be paid to the detection results for avoiding the missed detection ,increasing the identifi‐cation ability and ensuring the blood transfusion safety .determination is more often in cancer patients about Tests about blood transfusion ;This should be relate to character of phymatosis .Much concern should be given to related test of cancer patients′blood transfusion ,avoiding omissions ,and improve the safety of blood infusion .

A inconsistência lógica do outro... ou o “espírito da psicanálise” / The logical inconsistency of the other... or the “spirit of psychoanalysis” / L'inconsistance logique de l'autre...ou ® l'esprit de la psychanalyse ¼ / La inconsistencia lógica del otro... o el "espíritu del psicoanálisis"

“A essência da teoria psicanalítica é um discurso sem fala”, afirma Lacan, na primeira aula do se-minário, livro 16, De um Outro ao Outro. A que pode nos remeter o paradoxo desta frase? Já de saída, é possível extrairmos com Lacan a tese de que um significante não pode representar a si mesmo, levando-nos, portanto, ao longo alcance da expressão si mesmo, para o próprio significan-te. Haveria, por assim dizer, uma opacidade, uma inconsistência na própria estrutura significante, o que nos obriga a concluir que não há um ponto de fechamento do discurso, mais ainda, “não há universo de discurso”. Traduzimos tal assertiva clinicamente com a constatação que sempre haverá o que não se pode dizer. Isso não signifi-ca tomar o discurso analítico como impossível, tampouco desvalorizá-lo. Trata-se de um impas-se que é, sobretudo, lógico-matemático. O pre-sente artigo, portanto, dedica-se em apresentar a radicalidade da inconsistência lógica do Outro como um correlato de uma convocação ao que Lacan chama de “espírito da psicanálise” em um pronunciamento que faz a sua Escola...

“The essence of psychoanalytic theory is a dis-course without words”, Lacan says in the first class of the Seminar, book 16, From an Other to the other. Where can the paradox of this sentence send us to? First of all, according to Lacan, a signifier cannot represent itself. This takes us, therefore, to the long scope of the expression itself for the signifier proper. There would be, so to speak, an opacity, an inconsistency in the signifier structure itself, which leads us to conclude that there is no closing point of discourse, even more, “there is no universe of discourse”. We clinically translate such statement verifying that there will always be what cannot be said. That does not mean taking the analytic discourse as impossible, nor devalue it. It is an impasse that is, above all, a logical-mathematical one. Hence this paper pre-sents the radicality of the logical inconsistency of the Other as a correlate of a call to what Lacan names “spirit of psychoanalysis” when addressing his School...

®L'essence de la théorie psychanalytique est un discours sans parole¼, affirme Lacan dans la première leçon du séminaire, livre 16, D'un Autre à l'autre. À quoi nous renvoie le paradoxe de cette phrase ? Tout d'abord, avec Lacan, il est possible d'arriver à la thèse selon laquelle un signifiant ne saurait se représenter lui-même, ce qui conduit donc à la grande portée de l’expression soi-même pour le signifiant. En con-séquence, ce dernier aurait une opacité, une inconsistance, pour ainsi dire, dans la structure signifiante elle-même, ce qui nous oblige à con-clure qu'il n'y a pas de point de clôture du dis-cours, et plus encore, qu’il n'y a pas ® d'univers du discours¼. Nous traduisons cette déclaration cliniquement avec la constatation qu’il y aura toujours ce qui ne peut pas être dit. Cela ne si-gnifie pas que l’on prenne le discours analytique comme impossible, ni qu’il en soit dévalorisé. C'est une impasse qui est, avant tout, logico-mathématique. Cet article présente donc la radi-calité de l'inconsistance logique de l'Autre comme un corrélat d'un appel à ce que Lacan nomme ®l'esprit de la psychanalyse¼, dans un discours qu’il adresse à son École...

A Program for Efficient Phasing of Three-Generation Trio SNP Genotype Data

Here, we report a computer program written in Python, which phases SNP genotypes and infers inherited deletions based on the pattern of Mendelian inheritance within a trio pedigree. When tiered trio genotypes that encompass three generations are available, it narrows a recombination event down to a region between two consecutive heterozygous markers. In addition, the phase information that is inferred from the upper trio that is formed by one of the parents and grandparents can be propagated to phase the genotypes of the lower trio that is formed by the parents and an offspring.

Sensibilidad materna y maltrato infantil / Maternal responsiveness and child abuse / Sensibilidade materna e abuso infantil

El interés del presente estudio fue evaluar el constructo de sensibilidad materna en un grupo de diadas madre-hijo con historia de maltrato físico infantil en relación con un grupo de madres no maltratadoras. Participaron 30 diadas madre-hijo, 15 con historia de maltrato físico y 15 sin historia de maltrato físico, las cuales fueron apareadas con relación a la edad y el sexo de los niños. Todas las diadas fueron observadas a través del Sistema de Captura de Datos Observacionales SICDO (Vite, García y Rosas, 2006), en una condición académica. Los resultados indican que los niños maltratados mostraron mayor comportamiento aversivo que sus contrapartes controles, pero fueron similares en la conducta prosocial. En relación con el comportamiento materno, se observó que las madres maltratadoras presentan mayor comportamiento aversivo e instruccional que las madres control, pero manifestaron frecuencias similares en los comportamientos prosocial y neutral. Así mismo, ambos grupos de madres aprueban de manera similar y en bajas proporciones la conducta prosocial de sus hijos. Por otra parte, las madres maltratadoras son menos sensibles al comportamiento de sus hijos que las madres no maltratadoras. Estos hallazgos representan un intento exploratorio de proporcionar una nueva perspectiva en el proceso de los intercambios sociales a través del cual los niños y sus madres se involucran en episodios coercitivos que llevan al maltrato físico infantil.

The interest of this study was to assess the construct of maternal responsiveness in a group of mother-infant dyads with a history of child physical abuse as compared to a group of nonabusive mothers. The sample included 30 mother-infant dyads, 15 with history of physical abuse and 15 without history of physical abuse, which were paired in relation to age and sex of children. All dyads were observed through the Data Capture System Observational SOI-I (Vite, Garcia y Rosas, 2006), in an academic condition. The results indicate that abused children were more aversive than their controls, but similar in pro-social behavior. In relation to maternal behavior, the abusive mothers displayed more aversive and instructional behavior than control mothers, but showed similar frequencies in neutral and pro-social behavior. . Also, both groups of mothers approve in a similar manner and in a low rate their children's pro-social behavior. On the other hand, the abusive mothers were less responsive to the behavior of their children than non abusive mothers. These findings represent an exploratory attempt to provide a new perspective on the process of social exchanges through which children and their mothers get involved in coercive episodes that lead to physical child abuse.

O interesse deste estudo foi avaliar a construção de sensibilidade materna em um grupo de díades mãe-criança com história de abuso físico na infância frente a um grupo de mães não abusadoras. Os participantes foram 30 díades mãe-bebê: 15 com história de abuso físico e 15 sem histórico de abuso físico, que foram pareadas com relação à idade e ao sexo das crianças. As duplas foram observadas pelo Sistema de Captura de Dados Ocupacionais (SICD) em situação acadêmica (Vite, Garcia y Rose, 2006). Os resultados indicam que o comportamento das crianças abusadas foi mais aversivo do que as crianças controle, mas foram semelhantes nos comportamentos pró-sociais. Respeito ao comportamento materno, observou-se que as mães abusadoras mostram um comportamento aversivo e instrucional maior do que o comportamento das mães controle, ainda que suas frequências nos comportamentos neutral e pró-social foram semelhantes. Os dois grupos de mães aprovam em proporções baixas o comportamento pró-social de seus filhos. As mães abusadoras são menos sensíveis ao comportamento de seus filhos do que as mães não abusadoras. Estes resultados são uma tentativa de mostrar uma nova perspectiva sobre os intercâmbios sociais que levam as crianças e suas mães a episódios coercivos que terminam em abuso físico.
