MAPEAMENTO DAS CAUSAS DE ABSENTEÍSMO DE UMA EMPRESA DE CALL CENTER EM SÃO PAULO

The central theme of this article was to absent causes in a business call center in São Paulo, with the goal of finding out why employees are absent from work activities. Thus, the main objective was to describe the organizational environment of a company's call center and present causes that lead to the remote and faults. For this task it was necessary to perform data collection, quantitative research through the release of data from the company, which made ​​it possible to measure the rate of absenteeism and the most frequent causes, so scaling the reality of the research subject within the determined period. The research presented not only the causes of absenteeism, but also compared the number of employees absent with the amount of disconnections. Other information is to signal the shift of the company with a higher incidence of defaults and arrears, bringing the company the opportunity to intervene in the management structure, providing a higher quality of life for their employees and thereby reducing the rate of absenteeism in their shifts.O tema central deste artigo é sobre às causas de afastamento em uma empresa de Call Center em São Paulo, com objetivo de encontrar o porquê dos funcionários se ausentarem das atividades laborais. Deste modo, buscou-se descrever o ambiente organizacional de uma empresa de Call Center e apresentar causas que levam ao afastamento e faltas. Para esta tarefa foi indispensável realizar o levantamento de dados com uma abordagem de pesquisa do tipo quantitativa por meio do lançamento dos dados que foram obtidos da empresa. Estes dados permitiram mensurar o percentual de absenteísmo e as causas mais frequentes, dimensionando assim a realidade do sujeito de pesquisa dentro do período apurado. Este estudo apresentou não somente as causas dos afastamentos, como também comparou o número de funcionários faltosos com a quantidade de desligamentos. Outra informação relevante obtida com as análises permitiu sinalizar em qual turno da empresa teve maior incidência de faltas e atrasos, trazendo a oportunidade da empresa de intervir em sua estrutura gerencial, propiciando maior qualidade de vida para seus empregados e consequentemente reduzindo o percentual de absenteísmo.&nbsp

Amphibians and reptiles from a protected area in western Brazilian Amazonia (Reserva Extrativista do Baixo Juruá)

Sampling gaps across the logistically challenging and extremely biodiverse Amazonia largely hamper our understanding of broad-scale amphibian and reptile diversity patterns in this ecosystem. The Juruá River basin, a southwestern tributary of the Amazon River, is one of these undersampled areas, with only punctual information documented for these vertebrates that are spatially or temporally biased. This is especially the case for the lower-middle courses of the Juruá River, which also has comparatively less protected areas than its upper course. In order to fill some biodiversity knowledge gaps associated with amphibians and reptiles in this river basin, we combined results of our field expeditions carried out in 1992, 2005-2007, and 2018 to the Reserva Extrativista (Extractive Reserve) do Baixo Juruá, a Brazilian protected area in the right bank of the lower Juruá River. Amphibians and reptiles were sampled using four complementary methods: active surveys, pitfall traps, funnel traps, and trammel nets. We identified species or updated their taxonomic status with a reanalysis of the external morphology of the preserved material in the light of novel taxonomic literature (more than 1,500 specimens) and employment of DNA barcoding analyses for some newly collected specimens with contentious taxonomic status. Our combined sampling evidenced 149 species of amphibians and reptiles occurring in this protected area (72 amphibians, 68 squamates, six chelonians, and three crocodilians). Recorded species highlight the value of the lower Juruá River region as harboring quite diverse assemblages for these vertebrates, with species typical of the western and southwestern Amazonia sub-regions. Remarkable species records are presented, as well as accounts on species with lower taxonomic resolution. Furthermore, we discuss the biogeographic affinities of recorded assemblages based on the species geographic range and preferred habitats, and the value of this protected area to preserve the regional biological diversity

NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the Neotropics

Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos, 10 anteaters, and 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7), Myrmecophagidae (3), Bradypodidae (4), and Megalonychidae (2). We have no occurrence data on Dasypus pilosus (Dasypodidae). Regarding Cyclopedidae, until recently, only one species was recognized, but new genetic studies have revealed that the group is represented by seven species. In this data paper, we compiled a total of 42,528 records of 31 species, represented by occurrence and quantitative data, totaling 24,847 unique georeferenced records. The geographic range is from the southern United States, Mexico, and Caribbean countries at the northern portion of the Neotropics, to the austral distribution in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. Regarding anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla has the most records (n = 5,941), and Cyclopes sp. have the fewest (n = 240). The armadillo species with the most data is Dasypus novemcinctus (n = 11,588), and the fewest data are recorded for Calyptophractus retusus (n = 33). With regard to sloth species, Bradypus variegatus has the most records (n = 962), and Bradypus pygmaeus has the fewest (n = 12). Our main objective with Neotropical Xenarthrans is to make occurrence and quantitative data available to facilitate more ecological research, particularly if we integrate the xenarthran data with other data sets of Neotropical Series that will become available very soon (i.e., Neotropical Carnivores, Neotropical Invasive Mammals, and Neotropical Hunters and Dogs). Therefore, studies on trophic cascades, hunting pressure, habitat loss, fragmentation effects, species invasion, and climate change effects will be possible with the Neotropical Xenarthrans data set. Please cite this data paper when using its data in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers inform us of how they are using these data
