O sonho â a comprehensive intervention building on poverty fighting
âO Sonhoâ (The dream) is a Portuguese NGO that works in SetĂșbal â a city 45 Km from Lisbon.
Since 2005 âO Sonhoâ has been expanding its participation in community settings. In October 2007 âO Sonhoâ made a protocol with the Portuguese Social Security System, to work for a national poverty ending program â Rendimento Social de Inserção (Social Integration Income), aiming to promote labor, social and community integration of low income population.
This program intends to build with families new tracks for their development, on employment, education, housing, health and civil rights and duties. Intending to build a comprehensive intervention, we have been growing in the areas of microcrĂ©dit â building a coalition to give credit to promote self-employment; training â doing and promoting training on health promotion and prevention; food supplies and clothes â building coalitions in order to address serious hunger and poverty situations; and housing â promoting and developing mutualist solutions with families for access to houses.We stand for the crucial proactive role of individuals, families and communities in their own development, so we assume as core principles for intervention the trust relationship building; and the familyâs capacity and autonomy in their integration process â promoting familiesâ participation and empowerment â, we base our efforts on finding ways to support people on creating new opportunities for using their strengths to grow out of poverty.We assume an active role on poverty ending and community development, focusing on social entrepreneurship and serving people in its most important development issues.We believe that this way of creating new supporting structures for and with the community helps to promote community development and systems change

Relative contribution of effects included in contemporary groups for adjusted and actual 120-day and 210-day weights in Nelore cattle in Brazil
The objective of this research was to estimate the relative magnitude of effects included in contemporary groups (CG) and their interactions with adjusted and actual 120 d and 210 d weights in 72,731 male and female Nelore calves born from 1985 to 2005 in 40 herds from PMGRN (Genetic Improvement Program of Nelore). Ten models with different CG structures were compared. The analyses were done using the general linear models (GLM) procedure run in SAS software. All of the effects included in the CG for each model were significant (p < 0.001) for the four traits analyzed. Inclusion of semester or trimester of birth as part of a CG was more appropriate than its use as an independent effect in the model because it accounted for interactions with the other effects in the CG. Calf sex (CS) and dam age at calving (DAC) had similar effects across the models, which suggested independence from other effects in these models. The corresponding age deviation effect had a larger impact on actual weight at 120 d than any other effect in all of the models tested. The use of actual weights in models with no CS effect in CG provides an alternative that would allow better genetic connectedness among CGs and greater accuracy in genetic evaluations
LeishVet guidelines for the practical management of canine leishmaniosis
The LeishVet group has formed recommendations designed primarily to help the veterinary clinician in the management of canine leishmaniosis. The complexity of this zoonotic infection and the wide range of its clinical manifestations, from inapparent infection to severe disease, make the management of canine leishmaniosis challenging. The recommendations were constructed by combining a comprehensive review of evidence-based studies, extensive clinical experience and critical consensus opinion discussions. The guidelines presented here in a short version with graphical topic displays suggest standardized and rational approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, control and prevention of canine leishmaniosis. A staging system that divides the disease into four stages is aimed at assisting the clinician in determining the appropriate therapy, forecasting prognosis, and implementing follow-up steps required for the management of the leishmaniosis patient
Factors Associated with Height Catch-Up and Catch-Down Growth Among Schoolchildren
In developed countries, children with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) or born preterm (PT) tend to achieve catch-up growth. There is little information about height catch-up in developing countries and about height catch-down in both developed and developing countries. We studied the effect of IUGR and PT birth on height catch-up and catch-down growth of children from two cohorts of liveborn singletons. Data from 1,463 children was collected at birth and at school age in RibeirĂŁo Preto (RP), a more developed city, and in SĂŁo LuĂs (SL), a less developed city. A change in z-score between schoolchild height z-score and birth length z-scoreâ„0.67 was considered catch-up; a change in z-scoreâ€â0.67 indicated catch-down growth. The explanatory variables were: appropriate weight for gestational age/PT birth in four categories: term children without IUGR (normal), IUGR only (term with IUGR), PT only (preterm without IUGR) and preterm with IUGR; infant's sex; maternal parity, age, schooling and marital status; occupation of family head; family income and neonatal ponderal index (PI). The risk ratio for catch-up and catch-down was estimated by multinomial logistic regression for each city. In RP, preterms without IUGR (RRâ=â4.13) and thin children (PI<10th percentile, RRâ=â14.39) had a higher risk of catch-down; catch-up was higher among terms with IUGR (RRâ=â5.53), preterms with IUGR (RRâ=â5.36) and children born to primiparous mothers (RRâ=â1.83). In SL, catch-down was higher among preterms without IUGR (RRâ=â5.19), girls (RRâ=â1.52) and children from low-income families (RRâ=â2.74); the lowest risk of catch-down (RRâ=â0.27) and the highest risk of catch-up (RRâ=â3.77) were observed among terms with IUGR. In both cities, terms with IUGR presented height catch-up growth whereas preterms with IUGR only had height catch-up growth in the more affluent setting. Preterms without IUGR presented height catch-down growth, suggesting that a better socioeconomic situation facilitates height catch-up and prevents height catch-down growth

Global patient outcomes after elective surgery: prospective cohort study in 27 low-, middle- and high-income countries.
BACKGROUND: As global initiatives increase patient access to surgical treatments, there remains a need to understand the adverse effects of surgery and define appropriate levels of perioperative care. METHODS: We designed a prospective international 7-day cohort study of outcomes following elective adult inpatient surgery in 27 countries. The primary outcome was in-hospital complications. Secondary outcomes were death following a complication (failure to rescue) and death in hospital. Process measures were admission to critical care immediately after surgery or to treat a complication and duration of hospital stay. A single definition of critical care was used for all countries. RESULTS: A total of 474 hospitals in 19 high-, 7 middle- and 1 low-income country were included in the primary analysis. Data included 44Â 814 patients with a median hospital stay of 4 (range 2-7) days. A total of 7508 patients (16.8%) developed one or more postoperative complication and 207 died (0.5%). The overall mortality among patients who developed complications was 2.8%. Mortality following complications ranged from 2.4% for pulmonary embolism to 43.9% for cardiac arrest. A total of 4360 (9.7%) patients were admitted to a critical care unit as routine immediately after surgery, of whom 2198 (50.4%) developed a complication, with 105 (2.4%) deaths. A total of 1233 patients (16.4%) were admitted to a critical care unit to treat complications, with 119 (9.7%) deaths. Despite lower baseline risk, outcomes were similar in low- and middle-income compared with high-income countries. CONCLUSIONS: Poor patient outcomes are common after inpatient surgery. Global initiatives to increase access to surgical treatments should also address the need for safe perioperative care. STUDY REGISTRATION: ISRCTN5181700
Studies of new Higgs boson interactions through nonresonant HH production in the bÂŻbγγ fnal state in pp collisions at âs = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
A search for nonresonant Higgs boson pair production in the b
¯bγγ fnal state
is performed using 140 fbâ1 of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV
recorded by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. This analysis supersedes
and expands upon the previous nonresonant ATLAS results in this fnal state based on the
same data sample. The analysis strategy is optimised to probe anomalous values not only of
the Higgs (H) boson self-coupling modifer Îșλ but also of the quartic HHV V (V = W, Z)
coupling modifer Îș2V . No signifcant excess above the expected background from Standard
Model processes is observed. An observed upper limit ”HH < 4.0 is set at 95% confdence
level on the Higgs boson pair production cross-section normalised to its Standard Model
prediction. The 95% confdence intervals for the coupling modifers are â1.4 < Îșλ < 6.9 and
â0.5 < Îș2V < 2.7, assuming all other Higgs boson couplings except the one under study are
fxed to the Standard Model predictions. The results are interpreted in the Standard Model
efective feld theory and Higgs efective feld theory frameworks in terms of constraints on
the couplings of anomalous Higgs boson (self-)interactions
