A privação das capacidades a partir de Amartya Sen: um estudo sobre o controle social contemporâneo

O presente estudo tem como tema central um estudo sobre o controle social contemporâneo, tendo como objetivo examinar contribuições de Amartya Sen para uma possível solução das privações das capacidades dos indivíduos, inclusive a superação da banalização do atual sistema punitivo. A realização desta abordagem tem o fito de primar pela efetivação dos direitos e garantias fundamentais dos indivíduos.  Para tanto, o método de abordagem que servirá de referência para análise das ideias, informações e resultados desta pesquisa é o método dedutivo, juntamente como o método de procedimento monográfico. Concluindo que de acordo com Amartya Sen as modificações e possíveis soluções é o investimento nas necessidades básicas da população, em especial a saúde, educação e projetos habitacionais, para que os poucos se consiga diminuir as desigualdades, violência e preconceitos, os quais não serão revolvidos por intermédio de um sistema punitivo seletivo.Palavras-chave: controle social; pobreza; privação das capacidades; seletividade penal; superação do punitivismo

Areas of natural occurrence of melipona scutellaris Latreille, 1811(Hymenoptera: Apidae) in the state of Bahia, Brazil.

The bee Melipona scutellaris is considered the reared meliponine species with the largest distribution in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, with records from the state of Rio Grande do Norte down to the state of Bahia. Considering the importance of this species in the generation of income for family agriculture and in the preservation of areas with natural vegetation, this study aimed at providing knowledge on the distribution of natural colonies of M. scutellaris in the state of Bahia. Literature information, interviews with stinglessbee beekeepers, and expeditions were conducted to confirm the natural occurrence of the species. A total of 102 municipalities showed records for M. scutellaris, whose occurrence was observed in areas ranging from sea level up to 1,200-meter height. The occurrence of this species in the state of Bahia is considered to be restricted to municipalities on the coastal area and the Chapada Diamantina with its rainforests. Geographic coordinates, elevation, climate and vegetation data were obtained, which allowed a map to be prepared for the area of occurrence in order to support conservation and management policies for the species

Natural Growth Promoters Replacing Traditional Growth Promoters in Diets for Light Replacement Pullets: A Systematic Approach

ABSTRACT The effect of using natural growth promoters (NGP) to replace traditional antimicrobials on performance, biometry of digestive and reproductive organs, sexual maturity and bone characteristics of replacement pullets was evaluated; and the relationship between these variables according to the diets was verified. Eight-week-old birds were randomly assigned to a completely randomized design and fed different diets: negative control (without growth promoters); positive control - conventional growth promoter; organic acids (OA); symbiotic (S); essential oil (EO); OA + S; and EO + S. The performance, relative weight of digestive and reproductive organs and length intestines, height and crest length, sternum length, bone quality and sexual maturity of birds were similar (p>0.05) between treatments. The heat map combined with cluster analysis showed a uniform static pattern with the formation of three horizontal groups formed by the treatments: 1) negative control, S and OA + S; 2) positive control and OE and 3) OA and OE + S. A null relationship between the treatments and the variables under study was observed. The principal components analysis revealed an association of variables in three components with 60.55% of variation. NGP can replace traditional promoters, as they do not interfere with performance, biometrics or sexual maturity. Height and length are predictive variables for the development of reproductive organs, especially the oviduct. A similarity was identified through multivariate techniques between symbiotic and organic + symbiotic acids; positive control and essential oils; and organic and symbiotic acids + essential oils

Comfort from the perspective of families of people hospitalized in the intensive care unit

This study aimed at understanding the meaning of comfort to the families of people in intensive care units. It consists of a qualitative study carried out in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Salvador-Bahia. Fourteen family members were interviewed. The authors utilized the theoretical principles of symbolic interactionism and the technique of qualitative data analysis. Results indicated that the categories Safety, Receptiveness, Information, Proximity, Social and Spiritual Support, Convenience and Integration expressed the meaning of comfort, which was comprised of reliability in terms of technical-scientific competence and a supportive and sensitive attitude of the team, chance of recovery, access to information and the opportunity to be close to the patient, support of people in their social life, spiritual sources and the environmental structure of the hospital, preservation of self-care and routine activities. It was concluded that the family is important as objects and subjects of the actions in healthcare and must be the focus in public health policies and programs in Brazil

A Machine Learning Trainable Model to Assess the Accuracy of Probabilistic Record Linkage

Record linkage (RL) is the process of identifying and linking data that relates to the same physical entity across multiple heterogeneous data sources. Deterministic linkage methods rely on the presence of common uniquely identifying attributes across all sources while probabilistic approaches use non-unique attributes and calculates similarity indexes for pair wise comparisons. A key component of record linkage is accuracy assessment — the process of manually verifying and validating matched pairs to further refine linkage parameters and increase its overall effectiveness. This process however is time-consuming and impractical when applied to large administrative data sources where millions of records must be linked. Additionally, it is potentially biased as the gold standard used is often the reviewer’s intuition. In this paper, we present an approach for assessing and refining the accuracy of probabilistic linkage based on different supervised machine learning methods (decision trees, naïve Bayes, logistic regression, random forest, linear support vector machines and gradient boosted trees). We used data sets extracted from huge Brazilian socioeconomic and public health care data sources. These models were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic plots, sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive values collected from a 10-fold cross-validation method. Results show that logistic regression outperforms other classifiers and enables the creation of a generalized, very accurate model to validate linkage results
