âYOU TAKE CARE OF THE BABYâS CLOTHES AND I TAKE CARE OF THE DELIVERYâ â COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PROFESSIONALS AND PATIENTS AND DECISIONS ABOUT THE MODE OF DELIVERY IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN SĂO PAULO, BRAZIL
High rates of cesarean sections and invasive interventions in labor and delivery, disregarding recommendations on safety and quality of healthcare characterize childbirth care in the Brazilian private sector. We aimed to understand how professionals and patients communicate about risks and benefits of the interventions and take decisions in the Internet era. We interviewed 28 professionals and female users of the private health sector in SĂŁo Paulo, including those we will call âtypicalâ and âatypicalâ of the national scenario. The communication about procedures among âtypicalâ patients was scarce, biased or actively blocked, tending to strengthen a behaved attitude. âAtypicalâ patients sought further information from professionals and peer groups and used more Internet resources (discussion lists, evidence websites and narrative banks). The availability of such information allows more women to seek a care aligned to their values and notions of rights, frequently confronting the medical authority, creating needs to be (or not to be) satisfied

Search for CP violation in decays
A model-independent search for direct CP violation in the Cabibbo suppressed
decay in a sample of approximately 370,000 decays is
carried out. The data were collected by the LHCb experiment in 2010 and
correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35 pb. The normalized Dalitz
plot distributions for and are compared using four different
binning schemes that are sensitive to different manifestations of CP violation.
No evidence for CP asymmetry is found.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Opposite-side flavour tagging of B mesons at the LHCb experiment
The calibration and performance of the oppositeside

Measurement of the CP-violating phase phi_s in the decay Bs->J/psi phi
We present a measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetry in B_s
-> J/psi phi decays, using data collected with the LHCb detector at the LHC.
The decay time distribution of B_s -> J/psi phi is characterized by the decay
widths Gamma_H and Gamma_L of the heavy and light mass eigenstates of the
B_s-B_s-bar system and by a CP-violating phase phi_s. In a sample of about 8500
B_s -> J/psi phi events isolated from 0.37 fb^-1 of pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7
TeV we measure phi_s = 0.15 +/- 0.18 (stat) +/- 0.06 (syst) rad. We also find
an average B_s decay width Gamma_s == (Gamma_L + Gamma_H)/2 = 0.657 +/- 0.009
(stat) +/- 0.008 (syst) ps^-1 and a decay width difference Delta Gamma_s ==
Gamma_L - Gamma_H} = 0.123 +/- 0.029 (stat) +/- 0.011 (syst) ps^-1. Our
measurement is insensitive to the transformation (phi_s,DeltaGamma_s --> pi -
phi_s, - Delta Gamma_s.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
Measurement of the branching fraction
The branching fraction is measured in a data sample
corresponding to 0.41 of integrated luminosity collected with the LHCb
detector at the LHC. This channel is sensitive to the penguin contributions
affecting the sin2 measurement from The
time-integrated branching fraction is measured to be . This is the most precise measurement to
date
Measurements of the branching fractions of the decays B°s â Dâs K± and B°s â DÂŻsÏ+
The decay mode B°s â Dâs K± allows for one of the theoretically cleanest measurements of the CKM angle Îł through the study of time-dependent CP violation. This paper reports a measurement of its branching fraction relative to the Cabibbo-favoured mode B°s â DÂŻsÏ+ based on a data sample corresponding to 0.37 fbÂŻÂč of proton-proton collisions at âs = 7TeV collected in 2011 with the LHCb detector. In addition, the ratio of B meson production fractions fs/fd, determined from semileptonic decays, together with the known branching fraction of the control channel B°s â DÂŻsÏ+ is used to perform an absolute measurement of the branching fractions: B(B°s â DÂŻsÏ+) = (2.95 ± 0.05 ± 0.17 -0.22 +0.18) Ă 10ÂŻÂł ; B(B°s â Dâs K±) = (1.90 ± 0.12 ± 0.13 -0.14 +0.12) Ă 10ÂŻ4 ; where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second the experimental systematic uncertainty, and the third the uncertainty due to f s/f
Measurement of the CP-violating phase \phi s in Bs->J/\psi\pi+\pi- decays
Measurement of the mixing-induced CP-violating phase phi_s in Bs decays is of
prime importance in probing new physics. Here 7421 +/- 105 signal events from
the dominantly CP-odd final state J/\psi pi+ pi- are selected in 1/fb of pp
collision data collected at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV with the LHCb detector. A
time-dependent fit to the data yields a value of
phi_s=-0.019^{+0.173+0.004}_{-0.174-0.003} rad, consistent with the Standard
Model expectation. No evidence of direct CP violation is found.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures; minor revisions on May 23, 201
