Structural Analysis of the Formal and Informal Jobs in the Brazilian Economy

The reorganization of the Brazilian economy, in the globalization process, has brought out changes in its productive structure, and, consequently, changes in the job market. These changes had impact on the employment at the sectoral level, with great concerns related to the labor relations and to the growing unemployment rates. In the 1990s, the change in the focus of the development strategy, from a closed protected economy to an open economy with monetary control, has originated deep changes in the labor market. The number of employed persons in the primary and secondary sector was reduced, while in the tertiary sector there was an increase in the number of jobs, but not enough to absorb all the employees released from the previous two sectors. Besides the reduction in the capability of the economy to create new jobs, the last decade of the previous century has also showed an increase in the number of informal jobs. The share of informal jobs in the Brazilian economy was around 52% in 2003. In this way, the question of employment generated by the economic sectors, in number and quality, has become a crucial issue. The goal of this work is to study the characteristics and the evolution of the occupied persons, and to relate it with the formal and informal job market, as well as the economy productive structure, using for that input-output matrices constructed for the Brazilian economy. The main results show that there was a reduction in the capacity of the economy to generate employment for every million of Reais produced in a given sector. The data also shows that despite the ratio of informal workers in the economy being superior to the workers in the formality, the formal sector was responsible for about 60% of the jobs generated in the period of analysis.

Preditive clinical factors for epileptic seizures after ischemic stroke

Preditive clinical factors for epileptic seizures after ischemic stroke. Clinical features of 35 patients with ischemic stroke who developed epilepsy (Group 1) were compared with those of 35 patients with ischemic stroke without epilepsy (Group 2). The age of the patients did not differ between the groups. There were more men than women and more white than other races in both groups. Diabetes melitus, hypertension, transient ischemic attack, previous stroke, migraine, Chagas disease, cerebral embolism of cardiac origin and use of oral contraceptive did not differ between the groups. Smokers and alcohol users were more frequent in Group 1 (p<0,05). Most patients of Group 1 presented with hemiparesis; none presented cerebellar or brainstem involvement. Perhaps strokes in smokers have some different aspects, that let them more epileptogenic than in non smokers.Apresentamos aspectos clínicos de 35 pacientes com acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico que evoluíram com crises epilépticas (Grupo 1), comparando-os a 35 pacientes com AVCI sem crises epilépticas (Grupo 2). A comparação das idades entre os grupos não mostrou diferença significante. O sexo masculino e a raça branca predominaram em ambos os grupos. Diabetes melito, hipertensão arterial, ataque isquêmico transitório, acidente vascular cerebral pregresso, enxaqueca, doença de Chagas, embolia cerebral cardiogênica e uso de anticoncepcional oral não diferiram significantemente entre os grupos. Tabagismo e etilismo foram significantemente mais freqüentes no Grupo 1 (p<0,05). O quadro neurológico predominante foi motor, sugerindo comprometimento hemisférico em todos os casos do Grupo 1 e nenhum comprometimento isolado da fossa posterior neste grupo.UNIFESP-EPMUNIFESP, EPMSciEL

Cardiac Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease of unknown origin characterized by the infiltration of non-necrotizing granulomas that can affect any organ. The presentation of cardiac involvement can range from slight infiltration to complete atrioventricular block, ventricular arrhythmia, or cardiac failure. The diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion; approach to treatment depends upon the presence, or absence, of extracardiac sarcoidosis; sometimes a biopsy of the myocardial tissue is the only way to obtain an accurate diagnosis. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging is the imaging technique which can provide information useful in diagnosis of this condition. If there is active inflammation, the fundamental form of treatment is immunosuppression therapy. Other concomitant treatments can be required such as the implantation of devices or modulation of arrhythmias. The prognosis is conditioned depending upon the extent of the disease and response to the therapy

A to Z of the Muon anomalous magnetic moment in the MSSM with Pati-Salam at the GUT scale

We analyse the low energy predictions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) arising from a GUT scale Pati-Salam gauge group further constrained by an A4 × Z5 family symmetry, resulting in four soft scalar masses at the GUT scale: one left-handed soft mass m0 and three right-handed soft masses m1, m2, m3, one for each generation. We demonstrate that this model, which was initially developed to describe the neutrino sector, can explain collider and non-collider measurements such as the dark matter relic density, the Higgs boson mass and, in particular, the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g − 2)μ. Since about two decades, (g − 2)μ suffers a puzzling about 3σ excessoftheexperimentallymeasuredvalueoverthetheoreticalprediction,whichour model is able to fully resolve. As the consequence of this resolution, our model predicts specific regions of the parameter space with the specific properties including light smuons and neutralinos, which could also potentially explain di-lepton excesses observed by CMS and ATLAS

Balanço social : responsabilidade ética e social: uma proposta de implantação para micros e pequenas empresas do setor oleiro de Curitiba

Orientador: Moise Prates SilveiraMonografia(Especialização) - Universidade Federal do Paraná,Setor de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas, Curso de Especialização em Contabilidade e FinançasResumo: Os problemas ambientais e sociais são uma grande preocupação da humanidade. O tema vem sendo alvo de discussão entre governantes, ambientalistas e empresários. O Balanço Social, instrumento que evidencia a responsabilidade social das empresas, também tem sido divulgado e discutido constantemente. A sua importância como ferramenta contábil para evidenciar a preocupação social e ambiental das empresas está mais do que comprovada. A sua elaboração evidencia, antes de tudo, a responsabilidade ética da instituição para com o meio ambiente e a sociedade. A grande maioria das empresas de grande porte vem realizando anualmente a elaboração deste demonstrativo. Já em relação as micros e pequenas empresas além de não elaborarem, muitas desconhecem esta valiosa ferramenta. Este trabalho tem por objetivo divulgar e ao mesmo tempo propor a implantação deste demonstrativo para estas empresas, em especial para um setor muito importante da economia brasileira: o Setor Oleiro. Setor ligado ao Setor da Construção Civil através, principalmente, do fornecimento de materiais. Assim, através da bibliografia existente, serão explorados conceitos filosóficos de ética e responsabilidade social, conceitos de Balaço Social e de Sistema de Informação Contábil. Também será abordado um pouco da história das olarias, com sua importância para o cenário nacional e suas características. A empresa que servirá de estudo para o trabalho, é uma olaria enquadrada como Pequena Empresa. Com base nas suas demonstrações contábeis será elaborado um modelo de Balanço Social, onde serão analisadas as principais informações, destacando os resultados obtidos e enfatizando a importância do Balanço Social como instrumento de evidenciação da responsabilidade ética e social das empresas

Juegos cooperativos en la autoestima en estudiantes de educación primaria de una institución educativa de San Juan de Miraflores, Lima

A lo largo de la pesquisa se buscó valorar los efectos de un programa constituido por juegos cooperativos en la autoestima de estudiantes de educación primaria en una I.E. de San Juan de Miraflores; considerando para este fin a 23 alumnos que cumplían con dichas características, a partir de un esquema pre-experimental, recabando información mediante la valoración de la autoestima previamente a la exposición al programa delimitado en 12 sesiones de 40 minutos aproximadamente, así como la valoración de esta luego del mismo, mediante la versión escolar del Inventario de Autoestima de Coopersmith; a partir de las cuales, se evidenció la presencia de diferencias significativas (p<.05) en los puntajes promedio obtenidos en estas, es decir que aquellos educandos que participen en talleres compuestos por juegos cooperativos verán una mejora positiva en sus niveles de autoestima. A partir de ello se llega a la conclusión que para promover niveles óptimos de autoestima se debe exponer a los niños a actividades que presenten juegos cooperativos, así como juegos de otras índoles

Lack of correlation between the SARS‐CoV‐2 cycle threshold (Ct) value and clinical outcomes in patients with COVID‐19

ProblemThe utility of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cycle threshold (Ct ) values in the management of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains controversial.MethodsWe assessed the correlation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Ct values in nasopharyngeal swab samples with the oxygen requirements at the time of sample collection. Specimens were tested with the Simplexa PCR platform, which targets the SARS-CoV-2 ORF1ab and S genes.ResultsWe identified 23 COVID-19 patients with 49 Ct values available. While Ct values from ORF1ab and S genes were highly correlated for a given specimen, there was no correlation between Ct values for any of these target genes and the oxygen requirements of the patient at the time of sample collection. We found no differences in the initial nor the nadir Ct values between survivors and non-survivors or mild/moderate versus severe/critical illness at the maximum point of illness.ConclusionSARS-CoV-2 Ct values have limited value in the management of COVID-19
