Modelo de gestão do ambiente de TI aplicado ao IBGE

A arquitetura de informática 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 equilíbrio entre os anseios e diretrizes institucionais e governamentais. A partir do aprendizado e do sucesso obtidos no Censo Demográfico 2010, o IBGE inova agora na forma de administrar sua área de TIC, baseado em software especialista adquirido.O IBGE se beneficia da administração dos bens de informática, da responsabilidade sobre contratos, da gestão do patrimônio, do uso otimizado dos softwares comerciais, da agilidade de obtenção de informações sobre o parque computacional instalado, do monitoramento on-line dos serviços oferecidos pela TI, da economia de gastos com viagens para suporte técnico dentro dos estados e entre os mesmos, da reeducação de funcionários quanto ao uso de tecnologias, da forma organizada e planejada de trabalho e, portanto, da gestão pública das TICNúmero de páginas: 11 p.InovaçãoAções premiadas no 17º Concurso Inovação na Gestão Pública Federal - 2012Iniciativa premiada no 17º Concurso Inovação na Gestão Pública Federal sob responsabilidade de José Luiz Thomaselli Nogueir, Coordenador de Tecnologia do IBG

Oposições a pedidos de patente de medicamentos

A Lei da Propriedade Industrial, lei nº 9.279 de 1996, estabeleceu critérios para a concessão de patentes. Desde então, o Brasil passou a conceder patentes para produtos farmacêuticos. Fica proibida, assim, a produção e comercialização dos produtos e processos patenteados sem autorização do titular, o que inclui a produção e comercialização de medicamentos patenteados para o tratamento de HIV/Aids. Com isso, os valores praticados passam a ser insustentáveis e, em 2007, na tentativa de reduzir o preço do medicamento Efavirenz, o país teve de lançar mão do licenciamento compulsório1, o que trouxe muitas discussões políticas, já que o Brasil poderia sofrer retaliações em nível internacional. A iniciativa de apresentação de oposições a pedidos de patentes no Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial (INPI) evita a concessão da patente, minimiza desgastes políticos, reduz o gasto do Ministério da Saúde na compra de medicamentos e cria competência na tecnologia descrita no pedido de patente. Com a apresentação de oposição ao pedido do medicamento Tenofovir, estima-se uma redução no preço de 75%Número de páginas: 06 p .InovaçãoIniciativa premiada no 14º Concurso Inovação na Gestão Pública Federal sob responsabilidade de Wanise Borges Gouvea Barroso, Coordenadora do Núcleo de Inovação Tecnológica.

Coleta de dados por computadores de mão para censos de proporções continentais

Para tornar a coleta e a consolidação de dados mais ágeis e econômicas, aumentando a segurança sobre os dados, o IBGE está realizando a Contagem da População e o Censo Agropecuário 2007 com alternativa tecnológica para uso de computadores de mão – PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant). É uma inovação mundial, pois nenhum país, nessas dimensões, já realizou tal operação. A ação dispensa questionários em papel, substituídos por perguntas na tela do PDA, equipado com GPS para localizar estabelecimentos agropecuários por coordenadas. O PDA substitui bolsa e grandes volumes em papel. O plano de crítica, para validar informações coletadas, é transformado em programa, rodando em tempo real no PDA, para detecção e correção de dados inconsistentes durante a entrevista, o que antes só era possível após meses. Outro salto em eficiência é a transmissão direta dos dados para o banco de dados do IBGE (sem escanear ou digitar documentos), criando mais confiabilidade e inteligência na etapa de coletaNúmero de páginas: 08 pInovaçãoIniciativa premiada no 12º Concurso Inovação na Gestão Pública 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 São 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

Fauna used in popular medicine in Northeast Brazil

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Animal-based remedies constitute an integral part of Brazilian Traditional Medicine. Due to its long history, zootherapy has in fact become an integral part of folk medicine both in rural and urban areas of the country. In this paper we summarize current knowledge on zootherapeutic practices in Northeast of Brazil, based on information compiled from ethnobiological scientific literature.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>In order to examine the diversity of animals used in traditional medicine in Northeast of Brazil, all available references or reports of folk remedies based on animals sources were examined. 34 sources were analyzed. Only taxa that could be identified to species level were included in assessment of medicinal animal species. Scientific names provided in publications were updated.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>The review revealed that at least 250 animal species (178 vertebrates and 72 invertebrates) are used for medicinal purposes in Northeast of Brazil. The inventoried species comprise 10 taxonomic categories and belong to 141 Families. The groups with the greatest number of species were fishes (n = 58), mammals (n = 47) and reptiles (n = 37). The zootherapeutical products are used for the treatment of different illnesses. The most widely treated condition were asthma, rheumatism and sore throat, conditions, which had a wide variety of animals to treat them with. Many animals were used for the treatment of multiple ailments. Beyond the use for treating human diseases, zootherapeutical resources are also used in ethnoveterinary medicine</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>The number of medicinal species catalogued was quite expressive and demonstrate the importance of zootherapy as alternative therapeutic in Northeast of Brazil. Although widely diffused throughout Brazil, zootherapeutic practices remain virtually unstudied. There is an urgent need to examine the ecological, cultural, social, and public health implications associated with fauna usage, including a full inventory of the animal species used for medicinal purposes and the socio-cultural context associated with their consumption.</p
