A Evolução do Ensino da Pós-graduação Estrito Senso em Administração no Brasil

The objective of this study is to analyze the evolution of graduate programs (doctorate, master’s and professional master’s) in Brazilian business administration. The study utilizes the GeoCAPES database from the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES). The information from 1998 to 2011includes four triennial periods of CAPES graduate program evaluations and the first two years (2010 and 1011) of the current triennial of evaluation. Within this series, it is possible to not only verify the development of the programs, but also to compare basic indicators, such as number of authorized programs, grades, teaching staff, students enrolled and titled at the national and regional levels. As an exploratory study, it uses descriptive statistical analysis presented through tables and figures. The conclusions show a positive quantitative and qualitative development over the fourteen years of the studied indicators. Although master’s and PhD programs in business administration have grown over the years, an uneven regional distribution still remains in Brazil, concentrated in the richest regions and with private universities showing strong growth at this level of education

Innovation dynamics in the Brazilian industrial sector: scenario and reflexions

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the innovation overview of the Brazilian industrial sector using datapublished by innovation survey – PINTEC. The aim was to provide a macro and updated diagnosis of theinnovation scenario in Brazil and build reflections for further studies.Design/methodology/approach – The authors used information from the years 1998–2014 covered byPINTEC to analyze innovation indicators, namely, innovation types, problems and obstacles, novelty degree,established partnerships and interactions, as well as governmental incentives. This study is exploratory; thus,descriptive methods were used for data presentation through analyses and presented through figures andtables.Findings – The results show that innovation of the Brazilian industrial sector is concentrated mainly in theacquisition of machinery and equipment, innovations that already exist in national or global markets,interactions for the innovation process with suppliers and governmental support for financing machinery andequipment acquisitions.Originality/value – This study has relevance, as its results provide important subsidies for policy-makersto incorporate the needs and overcome challenges of innovation in Brazil

Avaliação da utilização de Nim (Azadirachta indica) para o controle parasitário em bovinos de produção leiteira em sistema orgânico.

As infestações parasitárias são responsáveis por sérios prejuízos econômicos na pecuária leiteira por causarem danos para a saúde animal. O controle de ectoparasitos com produtos químicos convencionais tem sido realizado de forma indiscriminada, ocasionando o desenvolvimento acelerado de resistência aos princípios ativos, contaminação do ambiente e dos produtos de origem animal, provocando preocupação na sociedade e órgãos governamentais. Desta forma, o uso de métodos alternativos, como o de plantas de potencial fitoterápico (ação repelente e larvicida) surge como um tratamento simples e de baixo custo, resultando no resgate da medicina popular, principalmente para atender o sistema orgânico de produção leiteira. Tais substâncias naturais são consideradas menos poluentes, com baixo poder residual e apresentam menores riscos de intoxicação. Alguns estudos verificaram a ação do nim como um repelente, inseticida, acaricida, fungicida e nematicida. No entanto, poucos trabalhos têm demonstrado a ação do óleo de Nim no controle das ectoparasitoses de importância na pecuária leiteira. Desta maneira, o objetivo do presente comunicado foi avaliar a eficácia do extrato oleoso de Nim, em bovinos naturalmente parasitados por Haematobia irritans, Dermatobia hominis e Rhipicephallus (Boophilus) microplus, sob um sistema orgânico de produção leiteira. Observou-se que tanto a determinação da concentração do produto a ser utilizado, quanto o acompanhamento das variáveis climáticas, associadas ao manejo, são essenciais para que se alcancem resultados satisfatórios

Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction and oxidative stress induced by fructose overload in an experimental model of hypertension and menopause

Background: Metabolic syndrome is characterized by the association of 3 or more risk factors, including: abdominal obesity associated with an excess of abdominal fat, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia and hypertension. Moreover, the prevalence of hypertension and metabolic dysfunctions sharply increases after the menopause. However, the mechanisms involved in these changes are not well understood. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the effects of fructose overload on cardiovascular autonomic modulation, inflammation and cardiac oxidative stress in an experimental model of hypertension and menopause. Methods: Female SHR rats were divided into (n = 8/group): hypertensive (H), hypertensive ovariectomized (HO) and hypertensive ovariectomized undergoing fructose overload (100 g/L in drinking water) (FHO). Arterial pressure (AP) signals were directly recorded. Cardiac autonomic modulation was evaluated by spectral analysis. Oxidative stress was evaluated in cardiac tissue. Results: AP was higher in the FHO group when compared to the other groups. Fructose overload promoted an increase in body and fat weight, triglyceride concentration and a reduction in insulin sensitivity. IL-10 was reduced in the FHO group when compared to the H group. TNF-α was higher in the FHO when compared to all other groups. Lipoperoxidation was higher and glutathione redox balance was reduced in the FHO group when compared to other groups, an indication of increased oxidative stress. A negative correlation was found between IL-10 and adipose tissue. Conclusion: Fructose overload promoted an impairment in cardiac autonomic modulation associated with inflammation and oxidative stress in hypertensive rats undergoing ovarian hormone deprivation.Fil: Conti, Filipe Fernandes.

Reverse remanufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment and the circular economy

Purpose – The purpose of the article is to analyze the chain of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and itswaste (WEEE), within the product chain of Recicladora Urbana (Reurbi), and its interaction with the circulareconomy.Design/methodology/approach – Exploratory research with a qualitative approach, based on the studycase method, was conducted. The following stages were carried out: definition of the study object; bibliographicsurvey; documentary survey; technical visit to Reurbi; contacts with experts; creation of research instrumentsand research execution.Findings – The main recipients of remanufactured EEE are third sector organizations that run socialprograms and schools with few financial resources. Recycling firms receive parts and components from theWEEE handled by Reurbi.Research limitations/implications – The authors only addressed the WEEE reverse remanufacturingchain of Reurbi; therefore, the authors cannot extend the results to an industrial sector.Practical implications – One practical contribution is disclosing the remanufacturing processes of EEE andthe recycling processes of its waste, fostered by the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), under a circulareconomy policy.Social implications – There is a large market potential for reverse logistics of WEEE and end-of-life EEE asa source of raw material, which is yet to be explored in Brazil, for creating new jobs and revenue.Originality/value – The publication of articles with the main reflections from the results can pro

FORMAÇÃO CIDADÃ: UMA EXPERIÊNCIA COM OS FUNDAMENTOS FREIREANOS NA MATEMÁTICA PARA ALUNOS DE EJA

O presente trabalho trata de resultados parciais de uma pesquisa desenvolvida no Mestrado Profissional em Educação Matemática na USS - Universidade Severino Sombra. A partir de uma contextualização histórica para a compreensão das principais questões referentes à Educação de Jovens e Adultos no Brasil,foi planejada e desenvolvida uma sequência de atividades para duas turmas, fases VII e VIII, do Ensino Fundamental na modalidade de Educação de Jovens e Adultos, em um município do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, com vistas a observar e refletir sobre o ensino da Matemática numa perspectiva cidadã. Na proposta dessa  investigação, buscou-se refletir sobre as possibilidades metodológicas da articulação entre as proposições pedagógicas de Paulo Freire e o ensino de conteúdos matemáticos, especialmente no que diz respeito à contextualização desses conteúdos para a motivação e para o exercício da cidadania
