Modelo de gestĂŁo do ambiente de TI aplicado ao IBGE
A arquitetura de informĂĄtica do IBGE busca refletir a evolução das Tecnologias da Informação e de Comunicação (TIC) e vem sendo modificada ao longo dos anos, de maneira a manter - se um equilĂbrio entre os anseios e diretrizes institucionais e governamentais. A partir do aprendizado e do sucesso obtidos no Censo DemogrĂĄfico 2010, o IBGE inova agora na forma de administrar sua ĂĄrea de TIC, baseado em software especialista adquirido.O IBGE se beneficia da administração dos bens de informĂĄtica, da responsabilidade sobre contratos, da gestĂŁo do patrimĂŽnio, do uso otimizado dos softwares comerciais, da agilidade de obtenção de informaçÔes sobre o parque computacional instalado, do monitoramento on-line dos serviços oferecidos pela TI, da economia de gastos com viagens para suporte tĂ©cnico dentro dos estados e entre os mesmos, da reeducação de funcionĂĄrios quanto ao uso de tecnologias, da forma organizada e planejada de trabalho e, portanto, da gestĂŁo pĂșblica das TICNĂșmero de pĂĄginas: 11 p.InovaçãoAçÔes premiadas no 17Âș Concurso Inovação na GestĂŁo PĂșblica Federal - 2012Iniciativa premiada no 17Âș Concurso Inovação na GestĂŁo PĂșblica Federal sob responsabilidade de JosĂ© Luiz Thomaselli Nogueir, Coordenador de Tecnologia do IBG
Coleta de dados por computadores de mão para censos de proporçÔes continentais
Para tornar a coleta e a consolidação de dados mais ĂĄgeis e econĂŽmicas, aumentando a segurança sobre os dados, o IBGE estĂĄ realizando a Contagem da População e o Censo AgropecuĂĄrio 2007 com alternativa tecnolĂłgica para uso de computadores de mĂŁo â PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant). Ă uma inovação mundial, pois nenhum paĂs, nessas dimensĂ”es, jĂĄ realizou tal operação. A ação dispensa questionĂĄrios em papel, substituĂdos por perguntas na tela do PDA, equipado com GPS para localizar estabelecimentos agropecuĂĄrios por coordenadas. O PDA substitui bolsa e grandes volumes em papel. O plano de crĂtica, para validar informaçÔes coletadas, Ă© transformado em programa, rodando em tempo real no PDA, para detecção e correção de dados inconsistentes durante a entrevista, o que antes sĂł era possĂvel apĂłs meses. Outro salto em eficiĂȘncia Ă© a transmissĂŁo direta dos dados para o banco de dados do IBGE (sem escanear ou digitar documentos), criando mais confiabilidade e inteligĂȘncia na etapa de coletaNĂșmero de pĂĄginas: 08 pInovaçãoIniciativa premiada no 12Âș Concurso Inovação na GestĂŁo PĂșblica Federal sob responsabilidade de Luiz Fernando Pinto Mariano.

Contextual and individual assessment of dental pain period prevalence in adolescents: a multilevel approach
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Despite evidence that health and disease occur in social contexts, the vast majority of studies addressing dental pain exclusively assessed information gathered at individual level.</p> <p>Objectives</p> <p>To assess the association between dental pain and contextual and individual characteristics in Brazilian adolescents. In addition, we aimed to test whether contextual Human Development Index is independently associated with dental pain after adjusting for individual level variables of socio-demographics and dental characteristics.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>The study used data from an oral health survey carried out in SĂŁo Paulo, Brazil, which included dental pain, dental exams, individual socioeconomic and demographic conditions, and Human Development Index at area level of 4,249 12-year-old and 1,566 15-year-old schoolchildren. The Poisson multilevel analysis was performed.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Dental pain was found among 25.6% (95%CI = 24.5-26.7) of the adolescents and was 33% less prevalent among those living in more developed areas of the city than among those living in less developed areas. Girls, blacks, those whose parents earn low income and have low schooling, those studying at public schools, and those with dental treatment needs presented higher dental-pain prevalence than their counterparts. Area HDI remained associated with dental pain after adjusting for individual level variables of socio demographic and dental characteristics.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Girls, students whose parents have low schooling, those with low <it>per capita </it>income, those classified as having black skin color and those with dental treatment needs had higher dental pain prevalence than their counterparts. Students from areas with low Human Development Index had higher prevalence of dental pain than those from the more developed areas regardless of individual characteristics.</p
Nutritional status and growth of indigenous Xavante children, Central Brazil
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The aim of this study was to characterize the nutritional status of Xavante Indian children less than 10 years of age in Central Brazil and to evaluate the hypothesis of an association between child nutrition and socioeconomic differentiation in this population.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>A cross-sectional study was conducted in July 2006 that included all children under the age of 10 from the Xavante village Pimentel Barbosa in Mato Grosso, Brazil. The data collected included weight, height, and sociodemographic information. Sociodemographic data were used to generate two indices ("income" and "wealth") and to determine the proportion of adults in each household. Descriptive analyses were performed for weight-for-age (W/A), height-for-age (H/A), and weight-for-height (W/H) using the NCHS and the WHO growth references. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using H/A and W/A as a response variables.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Of a total of 246 children under the age of ten residing in the village, 232 (94.3%) were evaluated. Following the NCHS reference, 5.6% of children under the age of ten presented low W/A and 14.7% presented low H/A. Among children under the age of five, deficit percentages for weight and height were 4.5% and 29.9%, respectively, following the WHO curves. Among children < 2 years of age, H/A index variability was found to be directly related to child's age and inversely related to the proportion of adults in the household. Maternal BMI was positively associated with growth for children from 2 to 4 years of age, explaining 11.5% of the z-score variability for the H/A index. For children 5 years of age and older, the wealth index and maternal height were positively associated with H/A. No significant associations were found using W/A as the dependent variable.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>This study demonstrated that undernutrition, in particular linear growth deficit, is a notable health issue for Xavante children. These findings contrast with the nutritional profile observed among Brazilian children nationally, which is characterized by a sharp decline in child undernutrition in recent decades, even in the poorest regions of the country. This discrepancy calls attention to the persistent health disparities that exist between indigenous and non-indigenous people in Brazil.</p
Sistema de suprimento de fundos
O Sistema de Suprimento de Fundos uniformizou os processos de trabalho envolvidos na utilização dos Suprimentos de Fundos, em todas as 24 Unidades Gestoras do IBGE, durante a realização do Censo 2000. As informaçÔes processadas no sistema retratam a natureza da despesa realizada atĂ© o nĂvel de subitem, de acordo com o registro dos dados das PrestaçÔes de Contas. O redirecionamento dos processos de trabalho, resultou numa maior fluidez no Ăąmbito operacional e conseqĂŒente aumento no grau de segurança para a "tomada de decisĂŁo" por parte dos Gestores e Ordenadores de Despesa, bem como permitiu Ă Coordenação de Orçamento e Finanças uma visĂŁo mais abrangente de todo o processoNĂșmero de pĂĄginas: 6 p.InovaçãoIniciativa premiada no 6Âș Concurso Inovação na GestĂŁo PĂșblica Federal sob responsabilidade de Gustavo Adolpho Castilho Freire, assessorAçÔes premiadas no 6Âș Concurso Inovação na GestĂŁo PĂșblica Federal - PrĂȘmio HĂ©lio BeltrĂŁo - 2001Ăreas temĂĄticas:gestĂŁo financeira e orçamentĂĄria; planejamento, gestĂŁo e desempenho instituciona
TendĂȘncia da mortalidade por doença cerebrovascular no Estado de SĂŁo Paulo: 1970 a 1989
OBJETIVO: estudo descritivo da mortalidade proporcional e por coeficientes da doença cerebrovascular (DCbV) na população adulta (20 anos e mais) do Estado de SĂŁo Paulo. CASUĂSTICA E MĂTODO: a fonte dos dados foi representada pelas tabulaçÔes de Ăłbito codificadas pela Fundação Sistema Estadual de AnĂĄlise de Dados (FSEADE); os dadoa de população foram obtidos dos Censos DemogrĂĄficos do Brasil de 1970, 1980 e 1991; em todas as sĂ©ries foi calculada a redução anual dos coeficientes de Ăłbito obtidos nas curvas de regressĂŁo. RESULTADOS: a proporção de Ăłbitos por DCbV na mortalidade geral apresentou queda no sexo masculino (M) (- 11,40%) e aumento no sexo feminino (F) (+7,58%); no conjunto das doenças cardiovasculares, apresentou aumento em ambos os sexos, +8,65% (M) e +3,12% (F); os coeficientes de mortalidade ajustados por idade para DCbV apresentaram declĂnio anual de 1,19% (M) e 1,76% (F) entre 1970 e 1989; as faixas etĂĄrias que mais se beneficiaram com o declĂnio foram as com 60 anos e mais entre os homens e 40 anos e mais entre as mulheres; a RazĂŁo de Sobre-mortalidade Masculina apresentou aumento significativo durante o perĂodo estudado (22% em 1970 para 45% em 1989), principalmente devido Ă faixa dos 50-59 anos (36% em 1970 para 69% em 1989). CONCLUSĂO: a queda dos coeficientes por DCbV poderia ser motivada pela maior detecção e controle da hipertensĂŁo arterial; outros fatores, como os decorrentes da notificação de Ăłbitos, prevalĂȘncia da miocardiopatia chagĂĄsica, introdução de novos exames diagnĂłsticos e assistĂȘncia mĂ©dica, apresentariam papel secundĂĄrio
Associations, active citizenship, and the quality of democracy in Brazil and Mexico
In many Third Wave democracies large classes of people experience diminished forms of citizenship. The systematic exclusion from mandated public goods and services significantly injures the citizenship and life chances of entire social groups. In democratic theory civil associations have a fundamental role to play in reversing this reality. One strand of theory, known as civic engagement, suggests that associations empower their members to engage in public politics, hold state officials to account, claim public services, and thereby improve the quality of democracy. Empirical demonstration of the argument is surprisingly rare, however, and limited to affluent democracies. In this article, we use original survey data for two large cities in Third Wave democracies-So Paulo and Mexico City-to explore this argument in a novel way. We focus on the extent to which participation in associations (or associationalism) increases "active citizenship"aEuro"the effort to negotiate directly with state agents access to goods and services legally mandated for public provision, such as healthcare, sanitation, and security-rather than civic engagement, which encompasses any voluntary and public spirited activity. We examine separately associationalism's impact on the quality of citizenship, a dimension that varies independently from the level of active citizenship, by assessing differences in the types of citizenship practices individuals use to obtain access to vital goods and services. To interpret the findings, and identify possible causal pathways, the paper moves back-and-forth between two major research traditions that are rarely brought into dialogue: civic engagement and comparative historical studies of democratization
