S.A.P.O.: Sistema de Acompanhamento Pós-Obra

Este trabalho de conclusão do curso de Análise e Desenvolvimento de Sistemas, ministrado pelo Centro Universitário de Brasília – UniCEUB, tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento de um projeto de software que supra as necessidades de controle e gerência dos chamados de garantia de empreendimentos imobiliários construídos pela empresa Antares Engenharia. Aqui vamos elicitar as funcionalidades e as características que possibilitem a Antares Engenharia obter este controle de seus empreendimentos imobiliários. O projeto prevê a criação de um banco de dados e um software que mantenham o cadastro destes empreendimentos, controlando os períodos de garantia variáveis dos diversos itens destes imóveis, gerando relatórios estatísticos, o que ajudará a empresa a atacar os pontos de falhas e consequentemente reduzir perdas e aumentar a produtividade e lucratividade da empresa

Effectiveness of Maternal mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination During Pregnancy Against COVID-19–Associated Hospitalizations in Infants Aged <6 Months During SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Predominance — 20 States, March 9, 2022–May 31, 2023

Infants aged <6 months are not eligible for COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccination during pregnancy has been associated with protection against infant COVID-19–related hospitalization. The Overcoming COVID-19 Network conducted a case-control study during March 9, 2022–May 31, 2023, to evaluate the effectiveness of maternal receipt of a COVID-19 vaccine dose (vaccine effectiveness [VE]) during pregnancy against COVID-19–related hospitalization in infants aged <6 months and a subset of infants aged <3 months. VE was calculated as (1 – adjusted odds ratio) x 100% among all infants aged <6 months and <3 months. Case-patients (infants hospitalized for COVID-19 outside of birth hospitalization and who had a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result) and control patients (infants hospitalized for COVID-19–like illness with a negative SARS-CoV-2 test result) were compared. Odds ratios were determined using multivariable logistic regression, comparing the odds of receipt of a maternal COVID-19 vaccine dose (completion of a 2-dose vaccination series or a third or higher dose) during pregnancy with maternal nonvaccination between case- and control patients. VE of maternal vaccination during pregnancy against COVID-19–related hospitalization was 35% (95% CI = 15%–51%) among infants aged <6 months and 54% (95% CI = 32%–68%) among infants aged <3 months. Intensive care unit admissions occurred in 23% of all case-patients, and invasive mechanical ventilation was more common among infants of unvaccinated (9%) compared with vaccinated mothers (1%) (p = 0.02). Maternal vaccination during pregnancy provides some protection against COVID-19–related hospitalizations among infants, particularly those aged <3 months. Expectant mothers should remain current with COVID-19 vaccination to protect themselves and their infants from hospitalization and severe outcomes associated with COVID-19

Investigation of biomolecular condensates as novel targets mediating germ cell toxicity from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance exposure

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are among the most prevalent and persistent environmental toxicants worldwide. The scale of human exposure to PFAS is vast and available data indicate that PFAS can target most organ systems in the body and produce a wide range of health effects. The molecular mechanisms eliciting these effects are incompletely understood and further characterization is needed to better protect public health. Considering that many PFAS are surface active substances, they have the potential to alter phase separation dynamics within a cell and may particularly target biomolecular condensates (BCs), subcellular compartments that are dependent upon their physical organization to execute their regulatory functions. In this work, the reproductive system of Caenorhabditis elegans was used as a model to examine the ability of two surfactant PFAS, PFOS and F-53B, to disrupt BC structure and function. Both PFOS and F-53B were found to alter the structure of P granules and the synaptonemal complex (SC), two BCs essential for proper germ cell development in C. elegans. In sensitized P granule and SC mutants, PFOS and F-53B exposures exacerbated infertility and embryonic lethality defects. These results indicate that the impacts of PFAS exposure on BC structure have functional consequences and that BCs may play a role in mediating PFAS-induced reproductive toxicity. Furthermore, this work suggests it is plausible that BC structural disruption could serve as a molecular initiating event for PFAS-induced toxicity in other cell types and organisms

Capital Investment Analysis: The Index Method

Adjusting for Inflation in the analysis of capital Investments can be achieved by employing either nominal cash flows and discount rates, or real cash flows and discount rates. This paper introduces a third methodology that is consistent with both the nominal and real approaches, yet simplifies the procedure through the use of an Index that simultaneously adjusts for differential rates of inflation in the cash flows and general price levels. The index is the ratio of one plus the nominal required rate of return, divided by one plus the rate of inflation in a particular cash flow, and yields the appropriate discount rate for Implementation of the technique

MBA, MSA and MST: Do They Make a Difference on CPA Exam Performance?

This study empirically investigates whether graduate degrees (MBA, MSA and MST) earned by candidates affect their performance on the CPA exam. By examining more than half million first-time exam sittings taken during the period 2005–2013, the authors find that candidates with a graduate degree performed better on each section of the CPA exam than those who only have an undergraduate degree. In addition, the authors find that the type of graduate degree also has an effect on the CPA exam performance. While candidates with an MBA degree generally performed better on the BEC section than those with an MSA or MST degree, those with an MSA degree performed best on the AUD and FAR sections; and those with an MST degree exceled on the REG section. This study contributes to the existing literature on the determinants of CPA exam success. In addition, this investigation provides valuable insights to candidates, academics and regulators. The findings of this chapter should be useful for academic administrators as they revise their accounting curricula to prepare for the new CPA licensure model. Furthermore, the results of this study should benefit accounting regulators in determining education requirements for future CPAs
