O papel das organizações no crescimento, desenvolvimento e inovação do empreendedorismo em CaboVerde

A sociedade cabo-verdiana defronta-se hoje com diversos desafios à sua capacidade de assegurar um crescimento sustentável e garantir o bem-estar da população. Neste sentido, o empreendedorismo desempenha um papel crucial para o desenvolvimento do país que vem contribuindo ao longo dos anos com o aumento de inúmeros postos de trabalho. A opção pela realização de um Estágio Curricular, em detrimento das opções de realização de Dissertação ou Projeto, deveu-se ao facto de considerar esta opção como uma oportunidade de colocar em prática tudo o que aprendeu ao longo destes anos e por considerar ser um complemento importante à minha Formação Académica. O Estágio desenrolou-se na Empresa BIC – Business Incubation Center, e teve uma duração de 600 horas (aproximadamente 3 meses). A Empresa labora essencialmente na área do Empreendedorismo através de Elaboração de Planos de Negócios e Capacidade de Gestão. O objetivo deste relatório passa por transmitir uma ideia da forma como se vive o empreendedorismo em Cabo Verde e reportar o importante papel que diversas instituições têm vindo a ter na implementação do empreendedorismo em parcerias com universidades através da transformação de ideias em negócios de sucesso. Os principais resultados obtidos deste processo de estágio, estão relacionados com o contacto diário com empreendedores de várias áreas de negócio e estar sempre rodeado de pessoas qualificadas levando a que o estagiário tenha adquirido muitas competências, maturidade, experiência e responsabilidade.Cape Verdean society is faced today with many challenges to its ability to ensure sustainable economic growth and ensuring people's blessing. In this sense, the entrepreneurial plays a crucial role in the development of the country that has contributed over the years with the increased number of jobs. The decision to conduct a Curricular Internship and not opting for a thesis or project is because it is an opportunity to put in practice everything I learned over the years and consider it an important complement to my Academic training. The internship took place in the BIC Company - Business Incubation Center, and lasted 600 hours (approximately 3 months). The Company works primarily in the area of Entrepreneurship through Business Plan Preparation and management capacity. The objective of this report is to transmit an idea of how one lives entrepreneurship in Cape Verde and report the important role that many institutions have on the implementation of entrepreneurship in partnership with universities by transforming ideas into successful businesses. The main results of this process, are related to the daily contact with entrepreneurs from various business areas and always be surrounded by qualified people with the result that the trainee has acquired many skills , maturity, experience and responsibility

A Feasibility Study Of Fricke Dosimetry As An Absorbed Dose To Water Standard For 192ir Hdr Sources.

High dose rate brachytherapy (HDR) using 192Ir sources is well accepted as an important treatment option and thus requires an accurate dosimetry standard. However, a dosimetry standard for the direct measurement of the absolute dose to water for this particular source type is currently not available. An improved standard for the absorbed dose to water based on Fricke dosimetry of HDR 192Ir brachytherapy sources is presented in this study. The main goal of this paper is to demonstrate the potential usefulness of the Fricke dosimetry technique for the standardization of the quantity absorbed dose to water for 192Ir sources. A molded, double-walled, spherical vessel for water containing the Fricke solution was constructed based on the Fricke system. The authors measured the absorbed dose to water and compared it with the doses calculated using the AAPM TG-43 report. The overall combined uncertainty associated with the measurements using Fricke dosimetry was 1.4% for k = 1, which is better than the uncertainties reported in previous studies. These results are promising; hence, the use of Fricke dosimetry to measure the absorbed dose to water as a standard for HDR 192Ir may be possible in the future.9e11515

The role of childhood cumulative trauma in the risk of lifetime PTSD: an epidemiological study

Cumulative trauma is usually devastating and can lead to severe psychological consequences, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Exposure to various types of traumas, particularly during childhood, can be even more deleterious than the sheer number of events experienced. This epidemiological study is the first to investigate the impact of discrete childhood traumatic exposure on the risk of developing lifetime PTSD in a representative sample of the general population of the two biggest Brazilian cities. Participants were aged between 15 and 75 years old, living in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who had experienced traumatic events (N = 3,231). The PTSD diagnosis was assessed using the DSM-IV criteria through the version 2.1 of Composite International Diagnostic Interview. To operationalize childhood cumulative trauma, we considered the sum of 15 different childhood trauma categories that occurred before PTSD onset. The final multivariate logistic regression model indicated a strong relationship between the number of discrete types of childhood traumas and the likelihood of the lifetime PTSD development. The lifetime PTSD risk increased 28 % with each different type of childhood trauma when adjusted by confounds. Our study strengthens the evidence associating childhood cumulative trauma to increased lifetime PTSD risk
