    Para que ocorra a extensão universitária é necessário elencar uma população-alvo para dirigirem-se as ações extensionistas. No entanto, estas ações tendem a se estender para além da comunidade, por ação de formação de multiplicadores de conhecimento na própria população atendida. O objetivo deste estudo é fazer um relato de experiência da contribuição de ações de extensão para além do público-alvo quando se trabalha temas relacionados à saúde como o uso de plantas e chás medicinais e a Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica junto a cuidadores de Pessoas com Deficiência (PcD). Este projeto de extensão atuou junto a quinze cuidadoras de pessoas com deficiência a partir de temas sugeridos por elas. Na atividade sobre plantas e chás medicinais as metodologias utilizadas foram caixa de mitos e verdades, roda de conversa, jogo de bingo e distribuição de fôlderes. Para a atividade sobre hipertensão utilizou-se “tempestade de ideias”, aferição da pressão arterial e distribuição de fôlderes. Essas ações foram realizadas em 3 encontros entre março e maio de 2019. Como resultado, tivemos a participação de 11 a 16 cuidadoras (sendo uma participante ocasional) e 2 a 3 funcionárias da Instituição parceira nos encontros. Observou-se que as metodologias ativas empregadas foram importantes para o aprendizado e fixação dos conteúdos abordados segundo as falas das próprias cuidadoras. As ações possibilitaram que os saberes construídos fossem compartilhados com amigos e familiares das participantes, caracterizando a contribuição do projeto para formação de multiplicadores do conhecimento. Palavras-chave: Ensino; Disseminação de informação; Educação em saúde Knowledge multipliers: Role of extension actions with caregivers of people with disabilities Abstract: For the university extension to occur, it is necessary to establish a target population to which extension actions will be directed. However, these actions tend to spread beyond the community by forming knowledge multipliers in the served population. This study aimed to report the experience of the contribution of extension actions beyond the target audience when working on health-related topics such as the use of medicinal plants and teas and Systemic Arterial Hypertension with caregivers of People with Disabilities (PwD). This extension project worked with fifteen caregivers of PwD based on themes suggested by them. In the medicinal plants and teas activity, the methodologies used were the box of myths and truths, conversation wheel, bingo game, and distribution of folders. For the activity on hypertension, we used "brainstorm," blood pressure measurement, and distribution of folders. These actions were carried out in 3 meetings between March and May 2019. As a result, 11 to 16 caregivers (one casual) and 2 to 3 employees from the partner institution participate in the meetings. It was observed that the active methodologies used were important for learning and fixing the contents addressed, according to the words of the caregivers themselves. The actions allowed the caregivers to share what they learned, taking this knowledge to friends and family, as well as the employees of the partner institution who participated, characterizing the contribution of the project beyond the target audience.

    Familiares cuidadores de pessoas com deficiência (PcD) abdicam muitas vezes de seu bem-estar em função dos cuidados necessários de seu ente cuidado. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi trabalhar a Fisiologia do sono e do sistema digestório com as cuidadoras de PcD que fazem acompanhamento em Centro de Reabilitação de Porto Alegre ligadas ao projeto de extensão universitária denominado “Apoiando e educando as famílias de pessoa com deficiência”, estimulando-se o bem-estar dessas mulheres. Como metodologias para o estudo da Fisiologia junto às cuidadoras foram utilizadas rodas de conversa, a Escala de Sonolência de EPWORTH, moldes anatômicos do sistema digestório e questionário sobre constipação intestinal em dois encontros com duração de 90 minutos cada um. Participaram das atividades relativas à Fisiologia do sono 9 cuidadoras e observou-se que 66,6% delas deveriam cuidar mais de seu sono ou apresentavam sono inadequado. Quanto a Fisiologia do sistema digestório, 11 cuidadoras participaram das atividades e 20% foram consideradas constipadas. O estudo sobre a Fisiologia do sono e do sistema digestório fez com que as cuidadoras pudessem refletir sobre o autocuidado em relação a estes aspectos e oportunizou que as extensionistas colocassem em prática o conhecimento da Universidade. Palavras-chave: Extensão; Educação em saúde; Rede de apoio; Sono; Sistema digestório   Topics of physiology in promoting the well-being of people with disabilities caregivers Abstract: Family caregivers of people with disabilities (PwD) often abdicate their well-being due to the necessary care of their entity. Thus, this study aimed to work on sleep and digestive system physiology with PwD caregivers whom follow-up on the Rehabilitation Center of Porto Alegre (Brazil) linked to the university extension project called "Supporting and educating families of people with disabilities," stimulating the well-being of these women. As methodologies for studying physiology with caregivers, we used conversation wheels, the EPWORTH Sleepiness Scale, anatomical molds of the digestive system, and intestinal constipation questionnaire in two 90-minute meetings. Nine caregivers participated in sleep physiology activities, and it was observed that 66.6% of respondents should take better care of their sleep or had an inadequate sleep. Regarding the physiology of the digestive system, 11 caregivers participated in the activities, and 20% were considered constipated. The study of sleep and digestive system physiology allowed caregivers to think about self-care, improving their well-being, and helped the extensionists to put the University's knowledge into practice.

    Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os efeitos da orientação de valor social e da interdependência social sobre a formação de folga orçamentária. A folga orçamentária é um tema largamente estudado por pesquisadores internacionais como fenômeno disfuncional do processo orçamentário, mas ainda não há uma conclusão clara a respeito de suas causas. Entendendo-se que esse tema influencia o processo de planejamento, os resultados e a competitividade das organizações, busca-se, neste trabalho, aprofundar os conhecimentos acerca do assunto, tendo como base as teorias sociais de valor, de interdependência e a teoria de folga orçamentária enraizada na teoria econômica da agência. Para tanto, foram aplicados um questionário, um experimento orçamentário e um instrumento para definição da orientação de valor social entre 41 gestores da empresa Tower International. De acordo com as análises estatísticas, não foi possível validar as hipóteses desta pesquisa, mas, considerando-se as teorias que nortearam este trabalho, pode-se concluir que há um vasto potencial na busca de melhores práticas na área de contabilidade gerencial.This paper aims to analyze the effects of the social value orientation and the social interdependence on the Budgetary slack. Budgetary slack is a subject very studied by international researchers as a dysfunctional budget problem, however until now, with no clear conclusion about your causes. Assuming that this subject impacts organization process of planning, results and competitiveness, this paper intend to contribute to budgetary slack knowledge based on social theories of social value and interdependence and slack theory, originated in the economics, most specifically, in the agency theory. It was applied a questionnaire, a budget experiment and an instrument to measure social value orientation among 41 leaders oh Tower International Company. According to statistic analysis, it was not possible to validate the hypothesis of this research, but considering the theories used on that, It is clear that there is a vast potential on the search of best practices in the management accounting area

    Flexible budgeting influence on organizational inertia and flexibility

    No full text
    Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the use of flexible budgets may influence different institutional logics (organizational inertia and flexibility). Design/methodology/approach A qualitative research based on a single case study in a multinational subsidiary company was carried out. The data were mainly collected using the dialog technique through open-ended and semi-structured interviews and complemented with direct observation in informal and formal meetings and the analysis of internal documents. Content analysis was used for the analysis of the findings. Findings The use of flexible budgets, which isolates the negative variations due to the decrease in sales volume, may contribute to organizational inertia. However, this can be counterbalanced if the managers try to minimize the decline in performance through initiatives that promote organizational flexibility. In this case study, it was found that the alignment between the production director and the controller, who frequently work under different institutional logics, was important to stimulate organizational flexibility particularly in continuous improvement projects. Research limitations/implications The findings of this paper are based on only one in-depth case study. Hence, the results cannot be generalized, but a theoretical contribution can be made. Furthermore, the findings are constrained by the constructs used and the specific managerial and theoretical perspectives that have supported the analysis. Practical implications These results can be useful particularly for companies that are dealing with the abrupt drop in the sales volume and use the flexible budget as a performance assessment technique. These firms must pay attention because this combination can stimulate organizational inertia. To counteract this problem, it is necessary that controllers and the managers work by understanding the initiatives that promote organizational flexibility, mainly by Kaizen projects, which can minimize performance decline.

    The erythrocyte cytoplasmic proteome is composed of 98% hemoglobin; the remaining 2% is largely unexplored. Here we used a combinatorial library of hexameric peptides as a capturing agent to lower the signal of hemoglobin and amplify the signal of low to very low abundance proteins in the cytoplasm of human red blood cells (RBCs). Two types of hexapeptide library beads have been adopted: amino-terminal hexapeptide beads and beads in which the peptides have been further derivatized by carboxylation. The amplification of the signal of low abundance and suppression of the signal of high abundance species were fully demonstrated by two-dimensional gel maps and nano-LC-MSMS analysis. The effect of this new methodology on quantitative information also was explored. Moreover using this approach on an LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer, we could identify with high confidence as many as 1578 proteins in the cytoplasmic fraction of a highly purified preparation of RBCs, allowing a deep exploration of the classical RBC pathways as well as the identification of unexpected minor proteins. In addition, we were able to detect the presence of eight different hemoglobin chains including embryonic and newly discovered globin chains. Thus, this extensive study provides a huge data set of proteins that are present in the RBC cytoplasm that may help to better understand the biology of this simplified cell and may open the way to further studies on blood pathologies using targeted approache
