Abstract This study aims to analyze the scientific production of the journal Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology (BABT) from 2017 to 2020, in order to investigate whether the stratification assigned by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) is consistent with the proposed method for classifying journals on Qualis 2017-2020. To this end, a mapping analysis of articles published in the years 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, located through the BABT journal website on the SciELO platform, available in Open Access format, was carried out. The results show that 526 articles were published in the period, adding up to 2525 authorships, with 711 authors being professors of Stricto Sensu Graduate Programs recognized by CAPES, of which, excluding redundancies, 577 linkages were obtained, in the three colleges, in eight of the nine major areas (88.88%) and in 33 of the 49 CAPES areas (67.34%). It is concluded that the journal comprises a very broad target audience and the A4 stratum in which the BABT was classified on Qualis 2017-2020 is consistent with the method proposed by the documents published by CAPES.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present the factors that influence the professors’ performance of postgraduate programs classified with notes 6 and 7 by Capes (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel) in the areas of Engineering III in Brazil. Notes 6 and 7 indicate performance equivalent to the high international standard. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire and data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences SPSS software, version 23, including independent T test by two groups (men and women), correlation studies and qualitative analysis. The results present a framework indicating the factors mapped in the literature combined with the factors that, in the perception of professors of postgraduate courses, influence professors’ performance, as well as an explanatory chart that details all categories of factors identified. It is evident that scientific production is a factor that impacts the professors’ performance, but personal profile and availability of resources interfere more significantly.

Resumen El propósito de este trabajo es presentar los factores que influyen en el desempeño de los profesores de los programas de posgrado clasificados con los grados 6 y 7 por Capes (Coordinación para el Perfeccionamiento del Personal de Educación Superior) en las áreas de Ingeniería III en Brasil. Las notas 6 y 7 indican un rendimiento equivalente al alto estándar internacional. La recolección de datos se realizó a través de un cuestionario y el análisis de los datos se realizó mediante el software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences SPSS, versión 23, que incluye prueba T independiente por dos grupos (hombres y mujeres), estudios de correlación y análisis cualitativo. Los resultados presentan un marco que indica los factores mapeados en la literatura combinados con los factores que, en la percepción de los profesores de posgrado, influyen en el desempeño de los profesores, así como un cuadro explicativo que detalla todas las categorías de factores identificados. Es evidente que la producción científica es un factor que impacta en el desempeño de los profesores, pero el perfil personal y la disponibilidad de recursos interfieren de manera más significativa.

Resumo O equilíbrio entre trabalho e vida precisa ser exercido por indivíduos que desempenham funções no trabalho e na família, incluindo professores do Ensino Superior. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o equilíbrio entre trabalho e vida no Ensino Superior e o impacto no bem-estar dos professores. Com base em uma revisão sistemática de 53 artigos das bases ScienceDirect, Scopus e Web of Science de 2005 a 2020, este artigo possui uma rigorosa metodologia de revisão sistemática usando as ferramentas de software Mendeley e EndNote. As ferramentas de software VOSviewer e Microsoft Excel também foram utilizadas nas seguintes técnicas: análise de citações e co-ocorrência de termos/palavras. Além disso, foram identificados na literatura os principais tópicos discutidos sobre o work-life balance entre professores do Ensino Superior, áreas de pesquisa, campo de atividade e análise SWOT (oportunidades, ameaças, pontos fortes e fracos). Os resultados sugerem que a desigualdade de gênero, o nível de estresse no trabalho e a ausência de um ambiente de trabalho saudável afetam o work-life balance e consequentemente o bem-estar dos professores do Ensino Superior.

Abstract The work-life balance needs to be exercised by individuals who perform functions in the fields of work and family, including Higher Education teachers. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the work-life balance in Higher Education and the impact on the well-being of teachers. Based on a systematic review of 53 articles retrieved from the ScienceDirect, Scopus and Web of Science from 2005 to 2020, this article has a rigorous systematic review methodology using the Mendeley and EndNote software tools. The VOSviewer and Microsoft Excel software tools were also used in the following techniques: citation analysis and co-ocurrence of terms/words. In addition, main topics discussed about the work-life balance among Higher Education teachers, research areas, field of activity and SWOT analysis (opportunities, threats, strengths and weaknesses) were identified in the literature. Findings suggest that gender inequality, stress level at work and the absence of a healthy workplace impact on the work-life balance and consequently on the well-being of Higher Education teachers.

Resumen El equilibrio entre trabajo y vida debe ser ejercido por personas que desempeñan funciones en el trabajo y en la familia, incluidos los maestros de Educación Superior. El propósito de este artículo es analizar el equilibrio entre trabajo y vida en la Educación Superior y el impacto en el bienestar de los docentes. Basado en una revisión sistemática de 53 artículos de las bases de datos ScienceDirect, Scopus y Web of Science de 2005 a 2020, este artículo tiene una metodología rigurosa de revisión sistemática utilizando las herramientas de software Mendeley y EndNote.

Abstract This article aimed to simulate the new method proposed by the Brazilian Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, CAPES) for the classification of Qualis 2017-2020 by tracing the path that led to the B3 stratification attributed to the journal Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology (BABT). Data collection was based on the evaluation of articles published between 2017 and 2018 to obtain the Lattes curricula of the author(s). Other goals were to verify their participation in stricto sensu postgraduate programs recognized by CAPES; to identify the program’s evaluation area according to CAPES; and to establish the association of authors/co-authors with their respective countries. Overall 199 articles were identified, with 897 authors/co-authors, 359 of which are associated with Brazilian institutions. A participation of at least one Brazilian author/co-author could be verified in 69 articles, out of which 60 had at least one professor affiliated to a stricto sensu postgraduate program recognized by CAPES. There was professors linked to 26 of the 49 CAPES evaluation areas, whereby the highest number of publications were Food Science and Agrarian Sciences I, both with 16 occurrences each. It was verified that the criteria established by the CAPES’ guiding document were not adequately followed. It could be concluded that the journal BABT should have been classified in the stratum A2, with a possible oscillation between A1 and A4, so that its classification as a B3 publication is out of the range foreseen in CAPES’ established criteria.

Resumo Objetivou-se analisar o quadro de medalhas dos jogos Paralímpicos Rio-2016 considerando o número de habitantes e o Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) dos países medalhistas. Inferiu-se que as primeiras colocações dos jogos Paralímpicos no quadro de medalhas usado pela mídia foram ocupadas por países com maior potencial econômico, o que foi reforçado pelos cálculos de correlação de Spearman entre as variáveis investigadas neste estudo. Observou-se, ainda, que o Brasil, mesmo não tendo obtido um desempenho ruim, apresenta um grande potencial de melhoria no número de medalhas de ouro e total de medalhas, tendo em vista seu tamanho populacional e PIB.

Abstract We objectified to analyze the medal board of the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games considering the number of inhabitants and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of medalist countries. We inferred that the first positions of the Paralympic Games medal table used by the media were occupied by countries with greater economic potential, which was reinforced by Spearman correlation calculations between the variables investigated in this study. We also noted that Brazil, even not having obtained poor performance, has a great potential for improvement in the number of gold and total medals, given its population size and GDP.

Resumen El objetivo fue analizar el medallero de los Juegos Paralímpicos de Rio 2016 según el número de habitantes y el Producto Interior Bruto (PIB) de los países medallistas. Se comprobó que las primeras posiciones del medallero de los Juegos Paralímpicos utilizados por los medios de comunicación estaban ocupados por países con mayor potencial económico, algo que fue reforzado por medio del cálculo de la correlación de Spearman entre las variables investigadas en este estudio. Se observó también que Brasil, a pesar de no haber obtenido bajo rendimiento, tiene un elevado potencial de mejora en el número de medallas de oro y total de acuerdo con el tamaño de su población y el PIB.

Abstract The objective of this study was to construct and validate an instrument that evaluates the Quality of Work Life (QWL) globally, following the WHOQOL instruments and founded in QWL's classical theoretical models, directed to the contemporary society. The psychometric properties tested were content validity, face validity, internal consistency, criterion validity, concurrent validity and test-retest reliability in an application to 283 individuals. The final version of the instrument is constituted by 47 questions, being five to sample knowledge and 42 divided in five spheres that contemplate QWL's dimensions. For the results calculation a SPSS syntax and a tool in Microsoft Excel that perform the automated calculation after the data tabulation were developed. The psychometric properties tested were satisfactory. We conclude that the goal of validating a global instrument for evaluation of QWL from the contemporary society culture with satisfactory psychometrical characteristics was reached.

Abstract: The present article aims to analyze the WHOQOL-DIS (World Health Organization Quality of Life - Disabilities) structure to verify this instrument’s adequacy to the theoretical principles underlying its construction. The methodology consists in an analysis of the WHOQOL-DIS underlying theory, prompting questions about the adequacies of this theoretical model. The procedure is complemented by a syntax analysis in order to verify the relevant questions for the score calculation. The obtained results show that the subjects “participation” and “autonomy” are not objectively present in the international version, although they are considered in the theories as justifying elements for the instrument’s creation. In the Brazilian version, there are questions addressed to the themes. However, these questions are also not factored into the score calculation. In conclusion, the presence of autonomy and participation in the Brazilian version of WHOQOL-DIS represents a proximity with the theoretical assumptions underlying its creation. However, because they do not compose the score calculation, this adequacy is still limited.

Resumo Os pesquisadores bolsistas de produtividade do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) constituem um grupo de referência no meio acadêmico brasileiro. Objetiva-se, frente tal interpretação, analisar os 30 periódicos com maior número de publicações de pesquisadores bolsistas de produtividade da área da Educação Física no triênio 2010-2012. Com tal análise, intenta-se ainda, diagnosticar a relevância de tais periódicos para a referida área. Para a contabilização das publicações foi utilizado o software scriptLattes v8.07. Os 88 bolsistas de produtividade da área da Educação Física publicaram 2600 artigos em 530 periódicos distintos no triênio 2010-2012. Constata-se que dos 30 periódicos com maior número de publicações, 19 são editorados no Brasil; dos “Top 10”, oito periódicos são editorados no Brasil. Com relação aos periódicos que possuem publicações de bolsistas de produtividade de todas as categorias/níveis, dos 11 periódicos que atendem a essa condição, sete são editorados no Brasil. Conclui-se que, por mais que os periódicos brasileiros sejam minoria nos estratos superiores do Webqualis na área da Educação Física, estes ainda se apresentam como principal veículo de comunicação dos pesquisadores de referência na área.

Abstract Researchers receiving grant from the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) are a reference group in Brazilian academia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the 30 journals with the highest number of publications of researchers in the Physical Education area who received grants in the 2010-2012 triennium. From this analysis, the relevance of journals in the Physical Education area was also evaluated. For the accounting of publications, the scriptLattes v8.07 software was used. The 88 researchers in Physical Education area published 2600 papers in 530 different journals in the 2010-2012 triennium. It was found that among the 30 journals with the highest number of publication, 19 are published in Brazil; from “Top 10”, eight journals are published in Brazil. Concerning journals that have publications of researchers who have received grants of all categories/levels, of the 11 journals that meet this requirement, seven are published in Brazil. It was concluded that, however Brazilian journals are minority in the upper stratum of Webqualis in the Physical Education area, they still stand as the main communication vehicle of elite researcher in the area.

O presente estudo teve por objetivo desenvolver e validar a versão brasileira do instrumento Diagnóstico do Trabalho de Hackman e Oldham. O processo de tradução e adaptação cultural do instrumento seguiu o procedimento adotado pelo Instrumento de Avaliação de Qualidade de Vida da Organização Mundial da Saúde - WHOQOL na elaboração das versões traduzidas dos instrumentos WHOQOL. O coeficiente alfa de Cronbach apresentou valores significativos para todas as dimensões avaliadas. Com relação à validade de critério, todas as dimensões apresentaram correlações significativas entre si. No que concerne à validade concorrente, inferiu-se que a correlação entre média das dimensões do Diagnóstico do Trabalho com o escore global do Instrumento de Avaliação da Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho de Walton foi significativa. A confiabilidade teste-reteste mostrou que em nenhuma das dimensões houve variação significativa e em todas as dimensões o índice de correlação entre ambas as aplicações demonstrou-se significativo. A versão brasileira do instrumento Diagnóstico do Trabalho de Hackman e Oldham foi validada, apresentando propriedades psicométricas satisfatórias, mantendo as características originais do instrumento.

This study aimed at developing and validating the Brazilian version of Hackman and Oldham's Job Diagnostic Survey. The process of translation and cultural adaptation of this instrument followed the procedure adopted by the World Health Organization Quality of Life assessment instrument - WHOQOL. Significant values of Cronbach's alpha were found for all dimensions evaluated. Regarding the criteria validity, significant correlations were found between all dimensions. As for the concurrent validity, it was inferred that the correlation between the average of the dimensions of the Job Diagnostic Survey and the total score of the assessment instrument of the Walton's Quality of work Life model was significant. The test-retest reliability showed that there was no significant variation in the dimensions, and that the correlation coefficient between both applications was significant in all dimensions evaluated. The Brazilian version of the Hackman and Oldham's Job Diagnostic Survey was validated and presented good psychometric properties and kept the instrument original features.
