A influência da educação financeira na inserção dos investidores no mercado de capitais brasileiro: um estudo com discentes da área de negócios

Resumo: A educação financeira e o entendimento do mercado de capitais abrem as portas de interação entre os agentes econômicos. Autores afirmam que o funcionamento do mercado de capitais no Brasil é conhecido por poucos, contudo, ressaltam que apesar desses aspectos, parece existir uma preocupação recente em atrair os investidores com credibilidade e sustentabilidade.  Nesse sentido, no presente estudo investigou-se o nível de educação financeira de discentes da área de negócios de uma universidade pública e a sua relação com a participação no mercado de capitais. Para tal fim, definiu-se a hipótese de que a educação financeira dos investidores influencia positivamente a probabilidade de participação no mercado de capitais brasileiro. Para a elaboração do indicador de educação financeira, coletaram-se os dados necessários baseados nos quesitos utilizados por Atkinson e Messy (2012), publicados na Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). O método utilizado foi a regressão logística múltipla, cujo principal escopo foi investigar a possibilidade de ocorrência de um determinado evento. Os resultados encontrados demonstraram, a partir do efeito marginal, uma probabilidade de inserção no mercado de capitais de 6% para a amostra utilizada. Para tanto, verificou-se que o aumento de pontuações adquiridas nas questões de conhecimento financeiro refletiram em uma maior probabilidade de inserção nesse mercado. Com base nos resultados apresentados, a hipótese do estudo não é rejeitada, entretanto, destaca-se que os investimentos em educação financeira no País precisam ser aprimorados, visto que os conhecimentos financeiros dos brasileiros se apresentaram em 1,2% abaixo da média internacional, de acordo com o relatório da Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (2016).Palavras-chave: Educação financeira.

The influence of financial education in integration of investors in Brazil's capitals market: a study with students of the business area Abstract: Financial education and understanding of the capital markets open the doors of interaction between economic agents. The authors claim that the functioning of the capital market in Brazil is known by few, however, point out that despite these aspects, there seems to be a concern recently in attracting investors with credibility and sustainability.  In this sense, the present study investigated the level of financial education of students of the business area of a public University and your relationship with the participation in the capital market. To that end, it was defined that there is no positive relationship between financial education of investors and your participation in the Brazilian capital market. For preparation of financial education, collected the data needed based on items used by Atkinson and Messy (2012), published on Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The method used was the multiple logistic regression, whose main scope was to investigate the possibility of occurrence of a specific event. The results demonstrated from the marginal effect insertion probability on the capital market of 6% for the sample used. For both, it was found that the increase in scores on financial knowledge acquired, reflected in a higher probability of entering this market. Based on the findings, the study's hypothesis is not rejected, however, that investments in financial education in the Country need to be enhanced, since the financial knowledge of Brazilians were at 1.2% below the international average, according to the report Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (2016).Keywords: Education.

Photography-based taxonomy is inadequate, unnecessary, and potentially harmful for biological sciences

The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the Code has already been discussed in Zootaxa (Dubois & Nemésio 2007; Donegan 2008, 2009; Nemésio 2009a–b; Dubois 2009; Gentile & Snell 2009; Minelli 2009; Cianferoni & Bartolozzi 2016; Amorim et al. 2016). This question was again raised in a letter supported by 35 signatories published in the journal Nature (Pape et al. 2016) on 15 September 2016. On 25 September 2016, the following rebuttal (strictly limited to 300 words as per the editorial rules of Nature) was submitted to Nature, which on 18 October 2016 refused to publish it. As we think this problem is a very important one for zoological taxonomy, this text is published here exactly as submitted to Nature, followed by the list of the 493 taxonomists and collection-based researchers who signed it in the short time span from 20 September to 6 October 2016

Tamponamento intrauterino induzido por vácuo para hemorragia pós-parto: uma revisão sistemática

A hemorragia pós-parto (HPP) é uma complicação grave e uma das principais causas de mortalidade materna global, respondendo por aproximadamente 25% de todos os óbitos maternos. A busca por intervenções eficazes e seguras é crítica para melhorar os desfechos maternos. O tamponamento intrauterino induzido por vácuo (VHD) surgiu como uma abordagem promissora, oferecendo potencial para rápido controle do sangramento e redução da necessidade de procedimentos invasivos. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a eficácia, segurança e aplicabilidade na prática clínica moderna. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura de 2016 a 2024 nas bases de dados PubMed (Medline), Cochrane Library e SciELO. A seleção dos estudos foi baseada em critérios de inclusão e exclusão rigorosos, focando na eficácia, segurança e aplicabilidade do VHD para tratamento da HPP. Três estudos chave foram analisados, com pacientes submetidos ao tratamento com VHD para HPP. Os resultados demonstraram uma taxa de sucesso no tratamento variando de 73% a 94%, com um controle do sangramento alcançado em uma média de 3 minutos. Foi observada uma redução significativa na necessidade de transfusões maciças de sangue e na perda de sangue estimada quando comparado com o tamponamento com balão uterino. Eventos adversos foram relatados, mas todos resolveram-se sem sequelas graves. O tamponamento intrauterino induzido por vácuo apresenta-se como uma opção promissora no tratamento da hemorragia pós-parto, com resultados consistentes indicando eficácia no controle do sangramento e redução na necessidade de transfusões sanguíneas. Embora os resultados sejam encorajadores, mais estudos são necessários para confirmar essas descobertas e explorar plenamente o potencial do VHD na prática clínica. O VHD emerge como uma alternativa eficaz e segura, com potencial para melhorar significativamente os desfechos maternos e reduzir a morbimortalidade associada à HPP

Rationale, study design, and analysis plan of the Alveolar Recruitment for ARDS Trial (ART): Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high in-hospital mortality. Alveolar recruitment followed by ventilation at optimal titrated PEEP may reduce ventilator-induced lung injury and improve oxygenation in patients with ARDS, but the effects on mortality and other clinical outcomes remain unknown. This article reports the rationale, study design, and analysis plan of the Alveolar Recruitment for ARDS Trial (ART). Methods/Design: ART is a pragmatic, multicenter, randomized (concealed), controlled trial, which aims to determine if maximum stepwise alveolar recruitment associated with PEEP titration is able to increase 28-day survival in patients with ARDS compared to conventional treatment (ARDSNet strategy). We will enroll adult patients with ARDS of less than 72 h duration. The intervention group will receive an alveolar recruitment maneuver, with stepwise increases of PEEP achieving 45 cmH(2)O and peak pressure of 60 cmH2O, followed by ventilation with optimal PEEP titrated according to the static compliance of the respiratory system. In the control group, mechanical ventilation will follow a conventional protocol (ARDSNet). In both groups, we will use controlled volume mode with low tidal volumes (4 to 6 mL/kg of predicted body weight) and targeting plateau pressure <= 30 cmH2O. The primary outcome is 28-day survival, and the secondary outcomes are: length of ICU stay; length of hospital stay; pneumothorax requiring chest tube during first 7 days; barotrauma during first 7 days; mechanical ventilation-free days from days 1 to 28; ICU, in-hospital, and 6-month survival. ART is an event-guided trial planned to last until 520 events (deaths within 28 days) are observed. These events allow detection of a hazard ratio of 0.75, with 90% power and two-tailed type I error of 5%. All analysis will follow the intention-to-treat principle. Discussion: If the ART strategy with maximum recruitment and PEEP titration improves 28-day survival, this will represent a notable advance to the care of ARDS patients. Conversely, if the ART strategy is similar or inferior to the current evidence-based strategy (ARDSNet), this should also change current practice as many institutions routinely employ recruitment maneuvers and set PEEP levels according to some titration method.Hospital do Coracao (HCor) as part of the Program 'Hospitais de Excelencia a Servico do SUS (PROADI-SUS)'Brazilian Ministry of Healt

Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil: setting the baseline knowledge on the animal diversity in Brazil

The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others

Las TIC como herramientas en la formación inicial y continuada del profesor de lenguas extranjeras adicionales : la experiencia del Observatorio de lnterlengua

Antes del surgimiento de Internet, el desarrollo de proyectos de investigación dependía de la búsqueda de referencias en bibliotecas físicas, tarea que tardaba mucho, a veces sin éxito. Actualmente, las bases de datos ofrecen la posibilidad de acceder al contenidos publicados mundialmente. Anclados en ese nuevo contexto, se presenta un proyecto desarrollado en la Uniuersidade Estadual de Londrina, un 'Programa de Formación Complementaria en la Enseñanza de Graduación' titulado: 'Observatorio de Interligua". El programa está dirigido hacia la formación inicial y continuada del profesor de lenguas extranjeras adicionales, y también, tiene por reto compilar referencias de trabajos resultantes de investigaciones dedicadas a la interlengua de brasileños aprendices de español que se realizan bajo el soporte teórico-metodológico de la Lingüística Contrastiva y sus interfaces.ES
