Uma análise da nova divisão internacional do trabalho nas relações de comércio entre o estado de Minas Gerais e a China no período de 2008-2018

Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação)O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar as relações de comércio entre o estado de Minas Gerais e a China no período de 2008 a 2018, sob o prisma da Nova Divisão Internacional do Trabalho. Dessa forma, pretende-se demonstrar quais são os efeitos dessa aproximação, tendo em vista que o recorte histórico escolhido trará dados da primeira década após a crise da bolha imobiliária dos Estados Unidos. O estado de Minas Gerais é conhecido por ser industrializado e exportador, sendo que os principais produtos da pauta exportadora brasileira são encontrados nessa Unidade da Federação, que tem localização estratégica e é abundante em recursos naturais. As relações comerciais desses parceiros são caracterizadas pela grande complementariedade, uma vez que o Brasil ocupa o papel de país periférico enquanto a China é o país central, corroborando com a narrativa da Nova Divisão Internacional do Trabalho

National Climate Change Adaptation Research Plan Terrestrial Biodiversity: update 2017

In 2011, a National Climate Change Adaptation Research Plan (NARP) was developed for the terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity theme of climate change adaptation (Terrestrial NARP 2011). The Terrestrial NARP aims to identify priority research questions for climate change adaptation issues relevant to Australia's cities, towns and regions, including coastal communities and regions. This NARP was updated in 2013 (Terrestrial NARP 2013). The purpose of this document is to review the Terrestrial NARP 2013 and this was done through a series of workshops with key stakeholders in 2015-16. The most important component of the NARPs is to identify and prioritise adaptation research questions that are important, often urgent, and will provide knowledge needed by adaptation stakeholders across Australia. Based on the stakholder review, a total of 20 priority research questions (Table 1) are presented in this report within four research themes

Identifying conservation priorities for threatened Eastern Himalayan mammals

To augment mammal conservation in the Eastern Himalayan region, we assessed the resident 255 terrestrial mammal species and identified the 50 most threatened species based on conservation status, endemism, range size, and evolutionary distinctiveness. By using the spatial analysis package letsR and the complementarity core‐area method in the conservation planning software Zonation, we assessed the current efficacy of their protection and identified priority conservation areas by comparing protected areas (PAs), land cover, and global ecoregion 2017 maps at a 100 × 100 m spatial scale. The 50 species that were most threatened, geographically restricted, and evolutionarily distinct faced a greater extinction risk than globally nonthreatened and wide‐ranging species and species with several close relatives. Small, medium‐sized, and data‐deficient species faced extinction from inadequate protection in PAs relative to wide‐ranging charismatic species. There was a mismatch between current PA distribution and priority areas for conservation of the 50 most endangered species. To protect these species, the skewed regional PA distribution would require expansion. Where possible, new PAs and transboundary reserves in the 35 priority areas we identified should be established. There are adequate remaining natural areas in which to expand current Eastern Himalayan PAs. Consolidation and expansion of PAs in the EH requires strengthening national and regional transboundary collaboration, formulating comprehensive regional land‐use plans, diversifying conservation funding, and enhancing information sharing through a consolidated regional database

Healthcare-associated respiratory tract infection and colonization in an intensive care unit caused by Burkholderia cepacia isolated in mouthwash

Objectives: Burkholderia cepacia has been linked to healthcare-associated infections and colonization caused by contamination of alcohol-free mouthwash used in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. The purpose of our study was to establish the source of a clustering of healthcare-associated B. cepacia isolates in patients on mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: During April 2012 the Infection Control Committee became concerned when B. cepacia was isolated from tracheal aspirate cultures of three ICU patients. The medical records for the years 2011 and 2012 were reviewed to identify further cases. Cultures of potential reservoirs were done. Isolates from patients and an alcohol-free mouthwash were submitted to multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis and antimicrobial resistance testing. Results: Four patients with positive cultures for B. cepacia were identified before the review of the medical records for the years 2011 and 2012. Nine further cases were identified in the review, defined as a patient with pneumonia who had a culture of respiratory secretions that was positive for B. cepacia. Three were cases of infection and 10 were colonizations. All of the isolates from patients (J, K, L, and M) and mouthwash samples (B19, B20, and B21) were genetically identical by MLST analysis. Conclusions: Our findings strongly suggest that alcohol-free mouthwash solution intrinsically contaminated with B. cepacia was the source of these colonizations and infections involving adults in the ICU

Impacto de la gestión del capital de trabajo y nivel de rentabilidad en relación con el grado de cumplimiento de gobierno corporativo en las empresas cementeras que cotizan en la bolsa de valores de Lima durante los años 2014 - 2021

Esta tesis se enfoca en analizar la relación entre el cumplimiento de gobierno corporativo, la gestión del capital de trabajo y la rentabilidad en empresas cementeras cotizantes en la Bolsa de Valores de Lima durante los años 2014-2021. El estudio utiliza técnicas de regresión lineal de datos de panel y pruebas de Hausman respecto a los datos de cuestionarios y estados financieros auditados de empresas cementeras. Las hipótesis se refieren a la relación entre rentabilidad y buen gobierno corporativo, capital de trabajo y buen gobierno corporativo, y rentabilidad y capital de trabajo. Los resultados revelaron que la relación entre rentabilidad y buen gobierno corporativo fue influenciada negativamente por la crisis del Covid-19, lo que sugiere la necesidad de flexibilidad e innovación en el gobierno corporativo. La relación entre capital de trabajo y buen gobierno corporativo fue positiva y significativa, mientras que la relación entre rentabilidad y capital de trabajo fue opuesta a la esperada. En conclusión, se destacó que el impacto de estas variables puede variar en diferentes contextos, y se recomendó que las entidades reguladoras de gobierno corporativo promuevan un compromiso más profundo con la sociedad y establezcan estándares mínimos de cumplimiento
