Financiamento da Educação Superior: A Realidade das Universidades Públicas Canadenses
O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o financiamento da educação superior em universidades públicas canadenses realizando uma comparação das fontes de recursos financeiros e as despesas por categoria econômica. Os dados foram levantados por intermédio dos demonstrativos financeiros existentes na Internet de cada instituição. Fazem parte do estudo as universidades provinciais do Canadá: University of British Columbia (UBC), University of Toronto (Toronto) e University of Alberta (Alberta). Os resultados a pesquisa apontam que a principal fonte de recursos financeiros das universidades Canadenses são recursos provenientes do governo. Dentre as três universidades, a UBC apresenta uma maior participação na média dos últimos três anos com 65,48%, seguida pela Alberta com 63,81% e Toronto com 54,35%. Em relação às despesas, percebe-se que nas universidades pesquisadas a maior despesa é referente aos salários e benefícios passando de 60 para 70%, na média dos últimos três anos
Twenty-Four-Hour Central (Aortic) Systolic Blood Pressure: Reference Values and Dipping Patterns in Untreated Individuals.
Central (aortic) systolic blood pressure (cSBP) is the pressure seen by the heart, the brain, and the kidneys. If properly measured, cSBP is closer associated with hypertension-mediated organ damage and prognosis, as compared with brachial SBP (bSBP). We investigated 24-hour profiles of bSBP and cSBP, measured simultaneously using Mobilograph devices, in 2423 untreated adults (1275 women; age, 18-94 years), free from overt cardiovascular disease, aiming to develop reference values and to analyze daytime-nighttime variability. Central SBP was assessed, using brachial waveforms, calibrated with mean arterial pressure (MAP)/diastolic BP (cSBPMAP/DBPcal), or bSBP/diastolic blood pressure (cSBPSBP/DBPcal), and a validated transfer function, resulting in 144 509 valid brachial and 130 804 valid central measurements. Averaged 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime brachial BP across all individuals was 124/79, 126/81, and 116/72 mm Hg, respectively. Averaged 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime values for cSBPMAP/DBPcal were 128, 128, and 125 mm Hg and 115, 117, and 107 mm Hg for cSBPSBP/DBPcal, respectively. We pragmatically propose as upper normal limit for 24-hour cSBPMAP/DBPcal 135 mm Hg and for 24-hour cSBPSBP/DBPcal 120 mm Hg. bSBP dipping (nighttime-daytime/daytime SBP) was -10.6 % in young participants and decreased with increasing age. Central SBPSBP/DBPcal dipping was less pronounced (-8.7% in young participants). In contrast, cSBPMAP/DBPcal dipping was completely absent in the youngest age group and less pronounced in all other participants. These data may serve for comparison in various diseases and have potential implications for refining hypertension diagnosis and management. The different dipping behavior of bSBP versus cSBP requires further investigation

Twenty-Four-Hour Central (Aortic) Systolic Blood Pressure: Reference Values and Dipping Patterns in Untreated Individuals
Central (aortic) systolic blood pressure (cSBP) is the pressure seen by
the heart, the brain, and the kidneys. If properly measured, cSBP is
closer associated with hypertension-mediated organ damage and prognosis,
as compared with brachial SBP (bSBP). We investigated 24-hour profiles
of bSBP and cSBP, measured simultaneously using Mobilograph devices, in
2423 untreated adults (1275 women; age, 18-94 years), free from overt
cardiovascular disease, aiming to develop reference values and to
analyze daytime-nighttime variability. Central SBP was assessed, using
brachial waveforms, calibrated with mean arterial pressure
(MAP)/diastolic BP (cSBP(MAP/DBPcal)), or bSBP/diastolic blood pressure
(cSBP(SBP/DBPcal)), and a validated transfer function, resulting in 144
509 valid brachial and 130 804 valid central measurements. Averaged
24-hour, daytime, and nighttime brachial BP across all individuals was
124/79, 126/81, and 116/72 mm Hg, respectively. Averaged 24-hour,
daytime, and nighttime values for cSBP(MAP/DBPcal) were 128, 128, and
125 mm Hg and 115, 117, and 107 mm Hg for cSBP(SBP/DBPcal),
respectively. We pragmatically propose as upper normal limit for 24-hour
cSBP(MAP/DBPcal) 135 mm Hg and for 24-hour cSBP(SBP/DBPcal) 120 mm Hg.
bSBP dipping (nighttime-daytime/daytime SBP) was -10.6 % in young
participants and decreased with increasing age. Central SBPSBP/DBPcal
dipping was less pronounced (-8.7% in young participants). In contrast,
cSBP(MAP/DBPcal) dipping was completely absent in the youngest age group
and less pronounced in all other participants. These data may serve for
comparison in various diseases and have potential implications for
refining hypertension diagnosis and management. The different dipping
behavior of bSBP versus cSBP requires further investigation
