BIOREF : Laboratório colaborativo para as biorrefinarias

CIES2020 - XVII Congresso Ibérico e XIII Congresso Ibero-americano de Energia SolarRESUMO: A investigação multidisciplinar, o desenvolvimento e a inovação são pilares fundamentais para alterar o verdadeiro paradigma da economia baseada em recursos fósseis, de modo a conceber e implementar novas economias e mercados orientados para a utilização sustentável da biomassa. De modo a contribuir para uma economia de (muito) baixo carbono e gerar novas cadeias de valor através da utilização sustentável de diferentes tipos de biomassa e biorresíduos, criação de empregos e impulsionar a bioeconomia baseada em recursos sustentáveis como alternativa aos recursos fósseis, foi criado o Laboratório Colaborativo (CoLAB) BIOREF. O BIOREF é uma entidade orientada para o mercado, concentrando as suas atividades no desenvolvimento, exploração, transferência e/ou venda de direitos de Propriedade Intelectual de novas tecnologias, produtos e serviços. O impacto a curto e longo prazo na economia nacional e na criação de empregos será alcançado pela excelência científica que opera num ambiente inspirador e inovador de I&D&I. Isto é feito, através da criação de novas ligações com as partes interessadas nacionais e europeias para identificar os desafios e necessidades para a implantação de biorrefinarias sustentáveis (económicas, ambientais e sociais) rumo a uma economia com baixo teor de carbono.ABSTRACT: Multidisciplinary research, development and innovation are required to change the actual fossil-based economy paradigm, to design and implement new economies and markets, oriented for the sustainable use of biomass.In order to contribute to a (very) low carbon economy and generate new value chains through the sustainable use of different types of biomass and biowaste, create jobs and boost the sustainable resource-based bioeconomy as an alternative to fossil resources, the Collaborative Laboratory (CoLAB)- BIOREF was created. BIOREF is a market-oriented entity concentrating its activities on the development, exploitation, transfer, and/or selling rights of Intellectual Property of novel technologies, products and services. It will be done in a strong collaboration with BIOREF associates but oriented also on the national and international industrial biomass sector. Short- and long-term impact on national economy and jobs creation will be achieved by the scientific excellence operating in inspiring, innovative R&D&I environment. It will be done, by creating new and enforcing the existing links with national and European stakeholders to identify the challenges and needs for the deployment of sustainable (economic, environmental and social) biorefineries towards to a low-carbon economy.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Determinant Factors of Dividend Payments in Brazil

This study identifies factors that shaped cash disbursement distribution policies employed by Brazilian public companies listed on the Brazilian Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange (BM&FBOVESPA) from 1995 to 2011. Relationships between Dividends/Total Assets and potential determinants discussed in the literature, including firm size, corporate governance, profitability, leverage, market to book, liquidity, investment, risk, profit growth, information asymmetry and agency conflict, are examined. The following econometric methods are employed: (1) Tobit, given the nature of the dividend data, and (2) the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) to control for endogenous regressors. Significant positive variables found include size, return on assets (ROA), market to book, liquidity and profit growth. It can thus be inferred that larger firm size, profitability, market value, liquidity and profit growth correlate with greater firm pro pensity to distribute money to shareholders, thus supporting the theory of corporate finance. Significant negative variables found include leverage, liquidity squared, capex, beta and tag along 100%. It is thus inferred that more significantly leveraged companies that invest more heavily in fixed assets and that exhibit high liquidity, higher risk and less conflict between controlling and minority shareholders will be less likely to pay dividends to shareholders.</p

A prospective survey in European Society of Cardiology member countries of atrial fibrillation management: baseline results of EURO bservational Research Programme Atrial Fibrillation (EORP-AF) Pilot General Registry

Aims: Given the advances in atrial fibrillation (AF) management and the availability of new European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines, there is a need for the systematic collection of contemporary data regarding the management and treatment of AF in ESC member countries. Methods and results: We conducted a registry of consecutive in- and outpatients with AF presenting to cardiologists in nine participating ESC countries. All patients with an ECG-documented diagnosis of AF confirmed in the year prior to enrolment were eligible. We enroled a total of 3119 patients from February 2012 to March 2013, with full data on clinical subtype available for 3049 patients (40.4% female; mean age 68.8 years). Common comorbidities were hypertension, coronary disease, and heart failure. Lone AF was present in only 3.9% (122 patients). Asymptomatic AF was common, particularly among those with permanent AF. Amiodarone was the most common antiarrhythmic agent used (~20%), while beta-blockers and digoxin were the most used rate control drugs. Oral anticoagulants (OACs) were used in 80% overall, most often vitamin K antagonists (71.6%), with novel OACs being used in 8.4%. Other antithrombotics (mostly antiplatelet therapy, especially aspirin) were still used in one-third of the patients, and no antithrombotic treatment in only 4.8%. Oral anticoagulants were used in 56.4% of CHA 2DS2-VASc = 0, with 26.3% having no antithrombotic therapy. A high HAS-BLED score was not used to exclude OAC use, but there was a trend towards more aspirin use in the presence of a high HAS-BLED score. Conclusion: The EURObservational Research Programme Atrial Fibrillation (EORP-AF) Pilot Registry has provided systematic collection of contemporary data regarding the management and treatment of AF by cardiologists in ESC member countries. Oral anticoagulant use has increased, but novel OAC use was still low. Compliance with the treatment guidelines for patients with the lowest and higher stroke risk scores remains suboptimal. © The Author 2013

First Latin American clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus: Latin American Group for the Study of Lupus (GLADEL, Grupo Latino Americano de Estudio del Lupus)-Pan-American League of Associations of Rheumatology (PANLAR)

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a complex and heterogeneous autoimmune disease, represents a significant challenge for both diagnosis and treatment. Patients with SLE in Latin America face special problems that should be considered when therapeutic guidelines are developed. The objective of the study is to develop clinical practice guidelines for Latin American patients with lupus. Two independent teams (rheumatologists with experience in lupus management and methodologists) had an initial meeting in Panama City, Panama, in April 2016. They selected a list of questions for the clinical problems most commonly seen in Latin American patients with SLE. These were addressed with the best available evidence and summarised in a standardised format following the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. All preliminary findings were discussed in a second face-to-face meeting in Washington, DC, in November 2016. As a result, nine organ/system sections are presented with the main findings; an 'overarching' treatment approach was added. Special emphasis was made on regional implementation issues. Best pharmacologic options were examined for musculoskeletal, mucocutaneous, kidney, cardiac, pulmonary, neuropsychiatric, haematological manifestations and the antiphospholipid syndrome. The roles of main therapeutic options (ie, glucocorticoids, antimalarials, immunosuppressant agents, therapeutic plasma exchange, belimumab, rituximab, abatacept, low-dose aspirin and anticoagulants) were summarised in each section. In all cases, benefits and harms, certainty of the evidence, values and preferences, feasibility, acceptability and equity issues were considered to produce a recommendation with special focus on ethnic and socioeconomic aspects. Guidelines for Latin American patients with lupus have been developed and could be used in similar settings.Fil: Pons Estel, Bernardo A..
