Orçamento empresarial: levantamento da produção científica no período de 1995 a 2006

This research looks at scientific production (theses and dissertations) in the field of business budget from 1995 to 2006. The main purpose is to rescue studies on entrepreneurial budget. The information was collected from Brazilian postgraduate programs, recognized and recommended by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel - CAPES. In the research and data interpretation, content analysis based on Bardin was used. The titles of the 1257 dissertations and 112 theses were analyzed and categorized a priori in the following thematic sub areas: public budget, business budget, operational budget, financial budget, considering the presence or absence of the word "budget". It was verified that, from a total of 1257 dissertations and 112 theses, only 26 dissertations and 1 thesis approach the theme of budget, specifically focusing on business budget. Only 16 dissertations focused on the theme, meaning 1.27% of scientific production. The results show that the theme "budget" receives very little attention within the most expressive scientific production in college institutions. It is inferred that the low production in the field is related to researchers' difficulties to obtain data to perform the empiric research, since the information related to the budgetary process are a strategic issue for the organizations. The most frequent research approach is budget application, more precisely turned to unique cases, which shows academic concern with verifying how the companies do it in practice. In the public field, researches most frequently focused on public administration organs' budgets.Esta pesquisa aborda a produção científica (teses e dissertações) na área de orçamento empresarial no período de 1995 a 2006. O objetivo é resgatar estudos que versam orçamento empresarial. As informações foram coletadas nos programas brasileiros de mestrado e doutorado em ciências contábeis, reconhecidos e recomendados pela Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES). Para o estudo e interpretação dos dados utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo fundamentada em Bardin. Foram analisados todos os títulos das 1257 dissertações e 112 teses com categorização a priori nas subáreas temáticas: orçamento público, orçamento empresarial, orçamento operacional, orçamento financeiro, considerando-se a presença ou ausência do termo "orçamento". Verificou-se que, do total de 1257 dissertações, apenas 27 dissertações abordam o tema orçamento, sendo que 16 enfocam especificamente o orçamento empresarial, representando 1,27% da produção científica; as outras 11 tratam de orçamento público. Quanto às teses, das 112 encontradas, apenas 1 aborda o orçamento na área pública. Os resultados revelam que o tema "orçamento" é muito pouco investigado entre a produção científica mais expressiva em instituições de ensino superior. Infere-se que a baixa produção na área está relacionada com as dificuldades dos pesquisadores na obtenção de dados para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa empírica, pelo fato de as informações relativas ao processo orçamentário serem estratégicas para as organizações. A abordagem mais freqüente das pesquisas é o estudo da aplicação dos orçamentos, mais precisamente voltado a casos únicos, o que demonstra a preocupação ou necessidade de as universidades constatarem como as empresas fazem o orçamento na prática. Na área pública, as pesquisas abordaram, com mais freqüência, o orçamento em órgãos da administração pública

Enabling precision medicine in neonatology, an integrated repository for preterm birth research.

Preterm birth, or the delivery of an infant prior to 37 weeks of gestation, is a significant cause of infant morbidity and mortality. In the last decade, the advent and continued development of molecular profiling technologies has enabled researchers to generate vast amount of 'omics' data, which together with integrative computational approaches, can help refine the current knowledge about disease mechanisms, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Here we describe the March of Dimes' Database for Preterm Birth Research (http://www.immport.org/resources/mod), a unique resource that contains a variety of 'omics' datasets related to preterm birth. The database is open publicly, and as of January 2018, links 13 molecular studies with data across tens of thousands of patients from 6 measurement modalities. The data in the repository are highly diverse and include genomic, transcriptomic, immunological, and microbiome data. Relevant datasets are augmented with additional molecular characterizations of almost 25,000 biological samples from public databases. We believe our data-sharing efforts will lead to enhanced research collaborations and coordination accelerating the overall pace of discovery in preterm birth research

Surface characterization and osteoblast-like Cells culture on collagen modified PLDLA scaffolds

Surface modification techniques based on the grafting of chemical functional groups and immobilization of bioactive molecules have been used to improve biocompatibility and clinical performance of bioabsorbable scaffolds in tissue engineering and medicine regenerative applications. This study aimed at developing and characterizing a biomimetic surface to stimulate bone regeneration by a simple and low-cost method of surface biofunctionalization of the poly (L-co-D,L lactic acid)- PLDLA scaffolds. The method was obtained by grafting reaction of carboxyl groups (-COOH) on their surface via acrylic acid (AAc) polymerization process, followed by immobilization of collagen type I (Col). Such approach resulted in a surface morphology markedly modified after treatment, with increase of pores and roughness on PLDLA-AAc surfaces and a network of fibrillar collagen deposition in nonspecific areas of PLDLA-Col surfaces. The cytocompatibility of collagen-immobilized scaffolds was significantly improved in terms of cellular adhesion, proliferation, collagen synthesis and maintenance of osteoblast-like phenotype, indicating, therefore, the fundamental role of collagen protein over the biological interactions that occur by bio-recognition mimetic mechanisms at biomaterials interface. These results indicate that the surface modification method used here may be useful as a strategy to develop biofunctional scaffolds, which provide a more successful clinical application of biomaterials in the tissue engineering field17615231534FUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - FAPESP2012/12081-2; 2007/05089-

Preparation and thermal characterization of inclusion complex of Brazilian green propolis and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin

The propolis produced in Southeastern Brazil is known as green propolis (BGP) because of its color and the most important plant source is Baccharis dracunculifolia. Several authors reported biological activities such as anti-ulcer, anti-inflammator, antimutagenic, antifungal/antibacterial, antileishmanial/antiplasmodial for the BGP. For this reason, BGP has been extensively employed in food and beverages, thus helping improve health and preventing diseases. Some authors related that the biological activities of BGP are mostly due to its high levels of prenylated rho-coumaric acids derivatives, mainly artepillin C. The inclusion complex between Brazilian green propolis (BGP) with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) was prepared and its characterization was investigated by different analytical techniques (X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry) and suggesting that propolis was molecularly dispersed in the HP-beta-CD matrix. The increasing solubility of chemical constituents was determined using quantitation methods for total flavonoids and polyphenols. Furthermore, it was developed a method for the quantitation and identification of the main compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography in order to evaluate the increasing water solubility of each constituent in aqueous BGP extract (aromadendrin, isosakuranetin, and artepillin C). The antioxidant activity was evaluated by chemical assay 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging.Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq
