REFORMAS TRABALHISTAS E SEUS MERCADOS: uma comparação Brasil-França

As reformas recentes na legislação trabalhista de Brasil e França abriram uma porta para a comparação. A rationale que as presidiu tem inspiração comum: a flexibilização das formas de uso do trabalho em países nos quais a legislação era reputada muito rígida, dificultando o ajuste das empresas às mudanças constantes na competitividade mundial. Embora Brasil e França ocupem lugares muito distintos na divisão internacional do trabalho, e sofram pressões competitivas também distintas, os motivos alegados pelos reformadores dos dois lados são espantosamente semelhantes. Modernização das relações de trabalho, geração de empregos (e combate ao desemprego), crescimento econômico, melhoria da renda dos trabalhadores e das condições de trabalho. Mas a promessa de segurança socioeconômica vem acompanhada de formas de regulação que geram, na verdade, insegurança no emprego, na renda e nos direitos trabalhistas. O estudo procura avaliar algumas dimensões dessa insegurança, comparando os dois países em torno da noção de “precariedade”. LABOR REFORMS AND THEIR MARKETS: a comparison Brazil-FranceRecent reforms in labor legislation in Brazil and France have opened a door for comparison. The rationale behind them has a common inspiration: flexibilization of forms of labor use in countries where legislation was considered very rigid, making it difficult for companies to adjust to constant changes in global competitiveness. Although Brazil and France occupy very different places in the international division of labor, and face different competitive pressures, the motivation of the reformers on both sides are strikingly similar. Modernization of labor relations, job creation, reduction of unemployment, economic growth, improvement of workers’ income and working conditions. But the promise of socioeconomic security is accompanied by forms of regulation that actually generate insecurity in employment, income, and labor rights. The study tries to evaluate some dimensions of this insecurity, comparing the two countries around the notion of “precariousness”.Key words: Brazil; France; Labor reform; Socioeconomic insecurity; PrecariousnessLES REFORMES DU TRAVAIL ET LEURS MARCHES: une comparaison Brésil-FranceLes réformes récentes de la législation du travail au Brésil et en France ont ouvert une porte à la comparaison. Elles sont inspirées par une logique commune : la flexibilisation des formes d’utilisation de la main-d’œuvre dans des pays où la législation était considérée comme très rigide, empêchant les entreprises de s’adapter aux changements de la compétitivité mondiale. Bien que le Brésil et la France occupent des positions très distinctes dans la division internationale du travail avec des pressions concurrentielles différentes, les motivations des réformateurs des deux côtés sont remarquablement similaires. Modernisation des relations de travail, création d’emplois (et lutte contre le chômage), croissance économique, amélioration du revenu et des conditions de travail des travailleurs. Mais la promesse de sécurité socio-économique s’accompagne de formes de régulation qui génèrent effectivement une insécurité en matière d’emploi, de revenu et de droits du travail. L’étude évalue certaines dimensions de cette insécurité en comparant les deux pays autour de la notion de “précarité”.Key words: Brésil; France; Réforme du travail; Insécurité socioéconomique; Précarit

Hepatitis viral en el estado de Piauí: caracterización epidemiológica en un centro de hematología y hemoterapia

As hepatites virais são doenças infecciosas que se caracterizam por apresentarem reações inflamatórias no fígado, podendo ser de evolução aguda ou crônica. São causadas por vírus hepatotrópicos, designados por letras do alfabeto e, devido a sua alta prevalência e potenciais complicações, constituem um grande problema de saúde pública. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a prevalência das hepatites “b” e “c” em doadores de sangue do estado do Piauí, através de um estudo soro epidemiológico dos pacientes que se candidataram a doação sanguínea no Hemocentro do Piauí (HEMOPI) no período de janeiro de 2008 a dezembro de 2010. Obtivemos os seguintes resultados, Em 2008 0,33% dos doadores estavam infectados pelo VHB e 0,41% pelo HCV, em 2009 0,24% estavam infectados pelo VHB e 0,19% pelo HCV, e em 2010 0,14% pelo VHB e 0,16% pelo HCV. Esta pesquisa realizada com os dados obtidos do Hemocentro do Piauí demonstra uma baixa prevalência das Hepatites B e C dos candidatos a doação, se comparados a várias pesquisas realizadas em Hemonúcleos de outros estados brasileiros.Viral hepatitis are infectious diseases that are characterized by presenting inflammatory reactions in the liver, which may be of acute or chronic evolution. They are caused by hepatotropic viruses, designated by letters of the alphabet and, due to their high prevalence and potential complications, constitute a major public health problem. This research aimed to analyze the prevalence of hepatitis “b” and “c” in blood donors from the state of Piauí, through an epidemiological study of patients who applied for blood donation at the Piauí Hemocenter (HEMOPI) January 2008 to December 2010. We obtained the following results. In 2008 0.33% of donors were infected with HBV and 0.41% with HCV, in 2009 0.24% were infected with HBV and 0.19% with HCV. , and in 2010 0.14% for HBV and 0.16% for HCV.

Trabajo, empleo, calificaciones profesionales, relaciones de trabajo e identidades laborales. Vol. I

CLACSO ha apoyado desde sus inicios la constitución y desarrollo de grupos de reflexión centrados en la problemática del mundo del trabajo. Los temas abordados sucesivamente han sido el empleo y el desempleo, los movimientos laborales, las relaciones de trabajo, las condiciones y medio ambiente de trabajo. Las reuniones y seminarios se han desarrollado en las principales ciudades del continente: México DF, La Habana, Medellín, Santiago de Chile, Río de Janeiro, San Pablo, Buenos Aires y Montevideo. Los objetivos son facilitar los encuentros, el debate y las acciones de cooperación entre los especialistas mas reconocidos y con los jóvenes investigadores, becarios, maestrandos y doctorandos y nutrir una comunidad muy diversa, y pluralista de científicos sociales que no han cesado de crecer. Los grupos han reunido a destacados especialistas de la casi totalidad de países de la región, con una composición multidisciplinaria y pluralista que abarca a sociólogos del trabajo y de la educación, cientistas políticos, economístas del trabajo y del desarrollo, abogados laboralistas y psicólogos del trabajo, entre otras. Sus estudios han dado lugar a numerosas publicaciones editadas por CLACSO, la UAM, el PREALC de la OIT, el CEIL PIETTE del CONICET y Trabajo y Sociedad de Argentina, y forman parte de las bibliografías de aquellas disciplinas. Desde 2007 se constituyó el actual grupo "Trabajo, empleo, calificaciones profesionales, relaciones de trabajo e identidades laborales" con sede en la UNAM, sede Iztapalapa y en el CEIL-PIETTE del CONICET. Los dos volúmenes que ofrecemos a la comunidad académica y a los actores sociales contienen la mayoría de las ponencias presentadas en el Seminario de Buenos Aires, realizado en noviembre de 2007.INDICE Presentación del Grupo de Trabajo: Trabajo, empleo, calificaciones profesionales, relaciones de trabajo e identidades laborales Julio César Neffa y Enrique de la Garza Toledo 11 Presentación de la obra: Nuevos y viejos escenarios en el mundo laboral latinoamericano: distintas miradas para su estudio Leticia Muñiz Terra 15 Primera parte Dimensiones teóricas y metodológicas Diez tesis sobre el trabajo del presente (y el futuro del trabajo) Ricardo Antunes 29 Aportes a una teoría del cambio: gubernamentalidad, fuerzas productivas y praxis de sujetos colectivos en nueva época Alberto L.

Mitochondrial physiology

As the knowledge base and importance of mitochondrial physiology to evolution, health and disease expands, the necessity for harmonizing the terminology concerning mitochondrial respiratory states and rates has become increasingly apparent. The chemiosmotic theory establishes the mechanism of energy transformation and coupling in oxidative phosphorylation. The unifying concept of the protonmotive force provides the framework for developing a consistent theoretical foundation of mitochondrial physiology and bioenergetics. We follow the latest SI guidelines and those of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) on terminology in physical chemistry, extended by considerations of open systems and thermodynamics of irreversible processes. The concept-driven constructive terminology incorporates the meaning of each quantity and aligns concepts and symbols with the nomenclature of classical bioenergetics. We endeavour to provide a balanced view of mitochondrial respiratory control and a critical discussion on reporting data of mitochondrial respiration in terms of metabolic flows and fluxes. Uniform standards for evaluation of respiratory states and rates will ultimately contribute to reproducibility between laboratories and thus support the development of data repositories of mitochondrial respiratory function in species, tissues, and cells. Clarity of concept and consistency of nomenclature facilitate effective transdisciplinary communication, education, and ultimately further discovery

The Changing Landscape for Stroke\ua0Prevention in AF: Findings From the GLORIA-AF Registry Phase 2

Background GLORIA-AF (Global Registry on Long-Term Oral Antithrombotic Treatment in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation) is a prospective, global registry program describing antithrombotic treatment patterns in patients with newly diagnosed nonvalvular atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke. Phase 2 began when dabigatran, the first non\u2013vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC), became available. Objectives This study sought to describe phase 2 baseline data and compare these with the pre-NOAC era collected during phase 1. Methods During phase 2, 15,641 consenting patients were enrolled (November 2011 to December 2014); 15,092 were eligible. This pre-specified cross-sectional analysis describes eligible patients\u2019 baseline characteristics. Atrial fibrillation disease characteristics, medical outcomes, and concomitant diseases and medications were collected. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results Of the total patients, 45.5% were female; median age was 71 (interquartile range: 64, 78) years. Patients were from Europe (47.1%), North America (22.5%), Asia (20.3%), Latin America (6.0%), and the Middle East/Africa (4.0%). Most had high stroke risk (CHA2DS2-VASc [Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age  6575 years, Diabetes mellitus, previous Stroke, Vascular disease, Age 65 to 74 years, Sex category] score  652; 86.1%); 13.9% had moderate risk (CHA2DS2-VASc = 1). Overall, 79.9% received oral anticoagulants, of whom 47.6% received NOAC and 32.3% vitamin K antagonists (VKA); 12.1% received antiplatelet agents; 7.8% received no antithrombotic treatment. For comparison, the proportion of phase 1 patients (of N = 1,063 all eligible) prescribed VKA was 32.8%, acetylsalicylic acid 41.7%, and no therapy 20.2%. In Europe in phase 2, treatment with NOAC was more common than VKA (52.3% and 37.8%, respectively); 6.0% of patients received antiplatelet treatment; and 3.8% received no antithrombotic treatment. In North America, 52.1%, 26.2%, and 14.0% of patients received NOAC, VKA, and antiplatelet drugs, respectively; 7.5% received no antithrombotic treatment. NOAC use was less common in Asia (27.7%), where 27.5% of patients received VKA, 25.0% antiplatelet drugs, and 19.8% no antithrombotic treatment. Conclusions The baseline data from GLORIA-AF phase 2 demonstrate that in newly diagnosed nonvalvular atrial fibrillation patients, NOAC have been highly adopted into practice, becoming more frequently prescribed than VKA in Europe and North America. Worldwide, however, a large proportion of patients remain undertreated, particularly in Asia and North America.
