    La agenda de la investigación reciente sobre emprendedores incluye el análisis de las estructuras cognitivas de los empresarios de éxito, revelándose como una herramienta importante a la hora de examinar una trayectoria emprendedora. Mediante técnicas de mapas cognitivos, este estudio explora los conceptos de una trayectoria de éxito y la red en sí misma como un todo, para el desarrollo de esta carrera. Fueron estudiados 53 empresarios en siete viveros tecnológicos de la ciudad de Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil. El objetivo específico de este estudio era situar los significados comunes de los emprendedores del vivero teniendo en cuenta las redes de apoyo informal. Este tipo de redes ofrecen apoyo a la carrera empresarial, y el presente estudio examina tanto las características como el modelo conceptual que subyace bajo éstas. La recolección de datos fue realizada por medio de entrevistas a través de la técnica de evocación libre. Los significados comunes indican la existencia de categorías de pensamiento inherentes que fomentan el contexto de la red en el entorno del vivero, especialmente en las redes-mentor. Los resultados refuerzan la interpretación de un modelo mentor informal que emerge de las evocaciones predominantes respecto a una carrera de éxito y de la red en sí misma como promotora de su desarrollo.The recent entrepreneurship research agenda includes the analysis of cognitive structures of successful entrepreneurs, revealing an important tool for the examination of an entrepreneurial career. Using techniques of cognitive maps, this study explores the concepts of a successful career and the network itself, as a whole, for career development. Fifty-three entrepreneurs were studied, in seven technological incubators in the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. Specifically, this study aimed to map the shared meanings of the incubated entrepreneurs regarding informal support networks. Such networks support the entrepreneurial career and the present study explores the characteristics and the conceptual model that underlies the networks. The data collection was achieved through interviews through a free evocation technique. The shared meanings indicate the existence of inherent thought categories that support network context in the incubator environment, mainly the mentoring networks. The results endorse the interpretation of an informal mentoring model emerging from the dominant evocations concerning a successful career and of the network itself as promoter of career development

    The role of apoptosis proteins and complement components in the etiopathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus

    Systemic lupus erythematosus is a prototypical autoimmune disease characterized by the deregulation of T and B cells, tissue infiltration by mononuclear cells, tissue damage and the production of autoantibodies. There is a consensus that accelerated apoptosis of circulating lymphocytes and/or impaired clearance of apoptotic bodies may increase the amount of nuclear antigens presented to T lymphocytes. This process is accompanied by autoimmune responses that can lead to the development of lupus. The dysfunction of apoptosis may be a direct consequence of alterations in proteins/genes such as Fas, Bcl-2 and C1q. Increased expression of Fas antigen could intensify the exposure of hidden antigens. The overexpression of Bcl-2 protein might inhibit the removal of auto-reactive cells, and the lack of C1q could impair the clearance of self-antigens. The complete knowledge of the role of apoptosis components in the etiopathogenesis of lupus could lead to the development of new therapies targeting the apoptotic threshold, which could result in a more specific and effective disease response compared to global immunosuppression. This review summarizes the role of each component of the apoptotic process in the pathogenesis of lupus

    The government of Brazil has introduced two health and nutrition monitoring systems (the Indigenous Health Care Information System (SIASI) and the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System for Indigenous People (SISVAN?I) as part of reforms to health care and social protection services for indigenous peoples, who have the worst health status of any population group in the country. This article covers the origins and development of these systems and examines their functioning in one local health district, which serves the Xavante people. It assesses the systems' performance in relation to the aspects established in the case study terms of reference: quality of information, inclusivity, relevance to potential users, costs and sustainability. A number of key issues are identified. Some are intrinsic to the technical, cultural and political challenges of working with indigenous peoples, while others reflect problems with the implementation of responses to these challenges at different levels in Brazil

    A midiatização do Rockin1000 alcança o Foo Fighters: espalhamento e convergência como mecanismos de circulação

    Get PDF
    Resumo Na Itália, o projeto Rockin1000 reuniu mil roqueiros ao ar livre para tocar uma canção da banda americana de rock Foo Fighters e sensibilizar seus componentes a fazer um show em Cesena. O foco deste artigo é sobre a construção e a realização do Rockin1000, na tentativa de compreender como a midiatização potencializou o alcance do projeto, criando um circuito de divulgação que deu origem a outros dois subcircuitos. Para tal, traçamos um caminho que inicia com uma discussão sobre a noção de mídia de espalhamento, direcionando a reflexão sobre como a convergência midiática embasa o projeto que envolve atores, mídias e suportes diversos. Em seguida, adentramos o conceito de midiatização, buscando identificar os circuitos e subcircuitos que o projeto estabeleceu durante suas fases de planejamento e execução. Palavras-chave: rockin1000, midiatização, circulação, convergência, espalhamento.   Resumen En Italia, el proyecto Rockin1000 reunió a mil rockeros al aire libre para jugar una canción de la banda estadounidense de rock Foo Fighters y sensibilizar a sus electores a hacer un show en Cesena. El objetivo de este artículo es sobre la construcción y terminación de la Rockin1000 en un intento de entender cómo la mediatización potenció el alcance del proyecto, la creación de un circuito de comunicación que dio lugar a dos subcircuitos. Para ello, se dibuja un camino que se inicia con un análisis de la noción de la dispersión de los medios de comunicación, la dirección de la reflexión sobre cómo la convergencia de medios subyace en el proyecto que involucra a actores, medios de comunicación y diversos suportes mediáticos. Luego entramos en el concepto de mediatización, buscando identificar los circuitos y subcircuitos que el proyecto ha establecido durante sus fases de planificación y ejecución. Palabras-clave: rockin1000; mediatización; circulatcion; convergencia; dispersión     Abstract In Italy, the Rockin1000 project brought one thousand rockers outdoors to play a song by American rock band Foo Fighters and sensitize their constituents to do a show in Cesena. The focus of this article is about the construction and completion of the Rockin1000 in an attempt to understand how the media coverage potentiated the scope of the project, creating a communications circuit that gave rise to two subcircuits. To do this, we draw a path that starts with a discussion of the notion of scattering media, directing the reflection on how media convergence underlies the project involving actors, media and various media. Then we enter the concept of media coverage, seeking to identify the circuits and subcircuits that the project has established during its phases of planning and execution.
