    São Paulo Research Foundation, FAPESP, has implemented an award program as a way to develop new research centers and to provide more opportunity to recent doctors, or productive doctors without regular job position, the "Young Investigator in Emerging Centers" (YIEC). This paper intends to present main results from an external evaluation of this program, covering a period from 1996 to 2006. Results found in this evaluation evidence that YIEC has reached some of targets, mainly concerning the research activity in private institutions. This program was a very important instrument to create the basic infrastructure for research activities in this type of HI opening new opportunities to recent doctors. The creation and improvement of research groups out of the excellence axe also should be highlighted, since it is one of the main goals. In general, the impact in institutions could be considered expressive, since that even new graduation courses were created, and the impact in post-graduation programs was expressive, improving and creating new disciplines and courses. © 2011 IEEE.São Paulo Research Foundation, FAPESP, has implemented an award program as a way to develop new research centers and to provide more opportunity to recent doctors, or productive doctors without regular job position, the “Young Investigator in Emerging Censem informaçãosem informação(2010) Doutores 2010: Estudos Da Demografia Da Base Tecnico-cientifica Brasileira - Brasilia [Doctors 2010: Demographic Studies for the Brazilian Techno-scientifc Basis], , www.cgee.org.br/atividades/redirect.php?idProduto=6401, CGEE DF: Available at: hnpPian, C.A., Meneghini, R., Assessment of scientific programs: A necessary procedure for Brazilian scientific policy - The Young Investigator program of the Silo Paulo Research Foundation (2007) Anais Da Academia Rasileira de Ciências, 79 (3), pp. 543-557Georghiou, L., Roessner, D., Evaluating technology programs: Tools and methods (2000) Research Policy, 29, pp. 657-678Salles-Filho, S., Avilla, A.F., Sepulveda, J.E., Colugnati, F.A.B., Multidimensional assessment of technology and innovation programs: The impact evaluation of INCAGRO-Peru (2010) Research Evaluation, 19 (5), pp. 361-372. , 2010Salles-Filho, S.L.M., Bonacelli, M.B.M., Carneiro, A.M., Castro, P.F.D., Santos, F.O.A., Evaluation of ST &I programs: A methodological approach to the Brazilian small business program and some comparisons with the SBIR program (2011) Research Evaluation, 20 (2), pp. 157-169Greenacre, M.J., Interpreting Multiple Correspondence Analysis (1991) Appl.

    Dietary Reference Intakes: Application Of Tables In Nutritional Studies [dietary Reference Intakes: Aplicabilidade Das Tabelas Em Estudos Nutricionais]

    No full text
    Diet planning and food intake evaluation are professional activities classically performed by comparing mean values of ingestion against reference values of nutrient and energy intakes, for either groups or individuals. Without considering certain intrinsic limitations of the reference values, such task may render equivocal conclusions with regard to nutritional adequacy. The nutritional recommendations, prepared as a joint effort between the US Institute of Medicine and Health Canada published since 1997 and known as Dietary Reference Intakes, offer a new model by establishing indices of nutrient intake and refining the concept of risk associated with diet evaluation. Errors of both intra and interindividual nature, due to the variability of an individual's feeding pattern, the uneven distribution of requirements within a population, respectively, and the small number of days of observation, are factors that together can have a large impact on the confidence of the analysis. For these reasons, only the judicious selection of the reference values, published in the form of tables from 1997 through 2005, should enable the user to reach the proper assessment. This paper had the objective of highlighting various critical characteristics of application and compiling the values in order to facilitate their use by both professionals and students of the area.196741760Hegsted, D.M., Establishment of nutritional requirements in man.

    Objective: The purpose of the study was to examine plasma retinol levels in 218 adolescents of both sexes, ages 10 to 19 years old. All the subjects attended a private high school in the city of São Paulo. Methods: In order to evaluate the students' nutritional condition, the researchers performed anthropometrical measurements - weight and height - in addition to investigating the subjects' diet history. The retinol level was measured through the spectrophotometer technique, considering as inadequate values of concentration under <1.05μmol/L (30μg/dL). Results: The results indicate that the average intake, according to the age range, was higher than recommended, even though presenting high deviation patterns for both genders. The percentage of teenagers with plasma concentrations of vitamin A under the adequate level was 30% for both genders, and neither the analysis of the correlation between Body Mass Index and plasma concentrations of retinol, nor the analysis of the correlation between the density of vitamin A intake and plasma concentration of retinol, were significant. Conclusion: The research findings point out to the need for further investigation of vitamin A concentrations during adolescence, in order to check more accurately whether the low plasma concentration of this nutrient should be considered a risk factor, or the result of the accelerated absorption which takes place in adolescence to fulfill the metabolic requirements characteristic of this period of human growth.173291299West Jr., K.P., Dietary vitamin A deficiency: Effects on growth, infection, and mortality (1991) Food Nutr Bull, 13, pp. 119-131Evaion-Brior, D., Porquet, D., Therrond, P., Paulsen, A.F., Grenede, M.O., François, L., Vitamin A and nocturnal growth hormone secretion in short children (1994) Lancet, 343, pp. 87-88Herberth, B., Spyckerelle, Y., Deschamps, J.P., Determinants of plasma retinol b-carotenoid and a-tocopherol during adolescence (1991) Am J Clin Nutr, 54, pp. 884-889Brabin, L., Brabin, B., The cost successful adolescent growth and development in girls in relation to iron and vitamin A status (1992) Am J Clin Nutr, 55 (5), pp. 955-958(2000) Dietary Assessment, , Washington, DC: The Nacional Academy PressGama, C.M., (1999) Consumo Alimentar e Estado Nutricional de Adolescentes Matriculados na Rede de Ensino Particular e Pública do Bairro de Vila Mariana da Cidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, , [tese].

    The TACO project (Brazilian Table of Food Composition), sponsored by the Brazilian Ministry of Health and executed by NEPA-UNICAMP (Center for Studies and Research on Foods-State University of Campinas), is generating new data on the most consumed foods in Brazil, based on a national sampling plan and analyses carried out by laboratories with demonstrated laboratory capability in nutrient analysis. Key foods have been chosen according to a national multicentric survey of food consumption, starting with 200 food items. The sampling plan covers nine cities in the five official Brazilian geopolitical regions (North, Northeast, South, Southeast and Centralwest), corresponding to approximately 16.8 million inhabitants out of a total Brazilian population of about 170 million. Samples of principal brands (maximum of five for each food) are collected from supermarkets/hypermarkets where 84-85% of total food purchases are made by the Brazilian population. Two units of each principal brand of each product are taken at each sampling site. The total units for each food from all regions are mixed and packed in cans, and three final composites of 100-200 g for each food are sent for analyses in approved laboratories. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

    A Propensity Score Approach In The Impact Evaluation On Scientific Production In Brazilian Biodiversity Research: The Biota Program

    No full text
    Evaluation has become a regular practice in the management of science, technology and innovation (ST&I) programs. Several methods have been developed to identify the results and impacts of programs of this kind. Most evaluations that adopt such an approach conclude that the interventions concerned, in this case ST&I programs, had a positive impact compared with the baseline, but do not control for any effects that might have improved the indicators even in the absence of intervention, such as improvements in the socio-economic context. The quasi-experimental approach therefore arises as an appropriate way to identify the real contributions of a given intervention. This paper describes and discusses the utilization of propensity score (PS) in quasi-experiments as a methodology to evaluate the impact on scientific production of research programs, presenting a case study of the BIOTA Program run by FAPESP, the State of São Paulo Research Foundation (Brazil). Fundamentals of quasi-experiments and causal inference are presented, stressing the need to control for biases due to lack of randomization, also a brief introduction to the PS estimation and weighting technique used to correct for observed bias. The application of the PS methodology is compared to the traditional multivariate analysis usually employed.101185107Abadie, A., Semiparametric difference-in-differences estimators (2005) The Review of Economic Studies, 72 (1), pp. 1-19Azoulay, P., Zivin, J.S.G., Manso, G., Incentives and creativity: Evidence from the academic life sciences (2011) RAND Journal of Economics, 42 (3), pp. 527-554Böhmer, S., von Ins, M., Different—Not just by label: Research-oriented academic careers in Germany (2009) Research Evaluation, 18 (3), pp. 177-184Carney, J., Smith, W., Parsad, A., Johnston, K., Millsap, M., (2008) Evaluation of the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program, , Abt Associates Inc, Bethesda, MD:Chen, S., Mu, R., Ravallion, M., Are there lasting impacts of aid to poor areas?
