EMPRESA INCLUSIVA? UMA ANÁLISE COMPARATIVA ENTRE OS DISCURSOS DE TRABALHADORES COM DEFICIÊNCIA E OS DE GESTORES DE UMA EMPRESA COOPERATIVA

This study sought to compare the perceptions of managers and people with disabilities (PwD) about the processes of insertion and inclusion of PwD within an agricultural cooperative organization of southern Minas Gerais. For this, the data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five PwD and three managers that currently working in a cooperative company in the south of Minas Gerais. The data collected were analyzed through Discourse Analysis. The results evidenced the influence that the conception of the leaders on disability exercises on the organizational practices, configuring, in this case, as a hindrance for the inclusion of PwDs in the organizations. Although managers consider the company as inclusive, the results have been antagonistic to what is meant by an inclusive company. In addition, the identification of managers with the normality matrix influences organizational practices, which only give PwD the responsibility for their inclusion.Este estudio buscó comparar las percepciones de gestores y de personas con discapacidad (PcD) sobre los procesos de inserción e inclusión de PcD dentro de una organización cooperativa agrícola del sur de Minas Gerais.

POLÍTICAS DE INCLUSÃO DE PESSOAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA NO MERCADO DE TRABALHO: uma análise sobre o caso de Lavras (MG)

O artigo objetivou verificar as dificuldades e opiniões das pessoas com deficiência (PcDs) que estão inseridos no mercado de trabalho sobre as políticas de inclusão públicas e empresariais. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas e grupos focais com pessoas com deficiência da cidade de Lavras (MG), formalmente inseridas no mercado de trabalho. Os resultados demonstraram que as dificuldades enfrentadas pelas PcDs vão muito além da implantação de políticas afirmativas. Percebeu-se que uma inclusão efetiva desses indivíduos necessita de ações conjuntas entre governo, empresas e sociedade, com vistas à erradicação do preconceito

Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) of the state of Amazonas, Brazil

The tick fauna of Brazil is currently composed by 72 species. The state of Amazonas is the largest of Brazil, with an area of ≈ 19% of the Brazilian land. Besides its vast geographic area, only 19 tick species have been reported for Amazonas. Herein, lots containing ticks from the state of Amazonas were examined in three major tick collections from Brazil. A total of 5933 tick specimens were examined and recorded, comprising 2693 males, 1247 females, 1509 nymphs, and 484 larvae. These ticks were identified into the following 22 species: Amblyomma cajennense sensu lato, Amblyomma calcaratum, Amblyomma coelebs, Amblyomma dissimile, Amblyomma dubitatum, Amblyomma geayi, Amblyomma goeldii, Amblyomma humerale, Amblyomma latepunctatun, Amblyomma longirostre, Amblyomma naponense, Amblyomma oblongoguttatum, Amblyomma ovale, Amblyomma rotundatum, Amblyomma scalpturatum, Amblyomma varium, Dermacentor nitens, Haemaphysalis juxtakochi, Ixodes cf. Ixodes fuscipes, Ixodes luciae, Rhipicephalus microplus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato. Ticks were collected from 17 (27.4%) out of the 62 municipalities that currently compose the state of Amazonas. The following four species are reported for the first time in the state of Amazonas: A. coelebs, A. dubitatum, H. juxtakochi, and Ixodes cf. I. fuscipes. The only tick species previously reported for Amazonas and not found in the present study is Amblyomma parvum. This study provides a great expansion of geographical and host records of ticks for the state of Amazonas, which is now considered to have a tick fauna composed by 23 species. It is noteworthy that we report 1391 Amblyomma nymphs that were identified to 13 different species. © 2018, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature

Development and validation of the MMCD score to predict kidney replacement therapy in COVID-19 patients

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequently associated with COVID-19, and the need for kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is considered an indicator of disease severity. This study aimed to develop a prognostic score for predicting the need for KRT in hospitalised COVID-19 patients, and to assess the incidence of AKI and KRT requirement. Methods This study is part of a multicentre cohort, the Brazilian COVID-19 Registry. A total of 5212 adult COVID-19 patients were included between March/2020 and September/2020. Variable selection was performed using generalised additive models (GAM), and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used for score derivation. Accuracy was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC). Results The median age of the model-derivation cohort was 59 (IQR 47–70) years, 54.5% were men, 34.3% required ICU admission, 20.9% evolved with AKI, 9.3% required KRT, and 15.1% died during hospitalisation. The temporal validation cohort had similar age, sex, ICU admission, AKI, required KRT distribution and in-hospital mortality. The geographic validation cohort had similar age and sex; however, this cohort had higher rates of ICU admission, AKI, need for KRT and in-hospital mortality. Four predictors of the need for KRT were identified using GAM: need for mechanical ventilation, male sex, higher creatinine at hospital presentation and diabetes. The MMCD score had excellent discrimination in derivation (AUROC 0.929, 95% CI 0.918–0.939) and validation (temporal AUROC 0.927, 95% CI 0.911–0.941; geographic AUROC 0.819, 95% CI 0.792–0.845) cohorts and good overall performance (Brier score: 0.057, 0.056 and 0.122, respectively). The score is implemented in a freely available online risk calculator ( https://www.mmcdscore.com/ ). Conclusions The use of the MMCD score to predict the need for KRT may assist healthcare workers in identifying hospitalised COVID-19 patients who may require more intensive monitoring, and can be useful for resource allocation
