Outcome da reparação slap e da tenodesis do bíceps: revisão sistemática

Projeto de Graduação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Licenciado em FisioterapiaObjetivo: Observar o outcome da reparação SLAP e da tenodesis do bíceps e os fatores que poderão interferir no sucesso deste. Metodologia: Pesquisa computorizada na base de dados da Science direct de forma a identificar artigos relativos ao outcome da reparação SLAP e da tenodesis do bíceps avaliados metodologicamente através da Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) e da escala Newcastle-Otawa. Resultados: Foram selecionados 5 artigos onde participaram 252 indivíduos com uma idade média de 40,56 anos, obtendo um score total entre 8 e 9 estrelas na escala de Newcastle-Otawa. O outcome foi satisfatório em todos os estudos, evidenciando-se, no entanto, a presença de um fator, worker’s compensation status, que afeta de certo modo o seu sucesso. Estes indivíduos obtiveram piores resultados nos questionários efetuados nos diferentes estudos. Conclusão: A reparação SLAP e a tenodesis do bíceps são as estratégias de tratamento mais eficazes, apresentando outcomes positivos. Sugere-se, de futuro, a realização de mais estudos experimentais para comprovar esta tendência. Objective: To observe the outcome of the SLAP repair and the biceps tenodesis and what factors could interfere with the success of these two surgical procedures. Methodology: Research computerized on the database Science Direct in order to identify articles referring to the outcome of the SLAP repair and the biceps tenodesis, which were methodological availed through the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) and the Newcastle-Otawa scale. Results: 5 articles were selected, where 252 individuals participated with a median age of 40,56 years old, obtaining a score within 8 and 9 stars in the Newcastle-Otawa scale. The outcome was satisfactory in all studies however it was detected one factor, worker’s compensation status, which affects its success. These individuals had lower scores in the questionnaires performed in all studies. Conclusion: The SLAP repair and the biceps tenodesis are two effective strategies of treatment, showing good results in the outcome. From this research the realization of further studies is proposed to verify this tendency

The fair value of forestry assets : analysis of precious woods and green resources

The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the Fair Value concept in the context of biological assets, more precisely forestry assets. In order to evaluate how Fair Value has been employed in the forestry assets field, I first approach the Fair Value in general terms in the Literature Review, and the Fair Value in the specific context of biological assets (IAS 41). Further, I develop an analysis of two standing timber companies, namely Precious Woods and Green Resources. This analysis encompasses both the methodologies undertaken by each company to value its forestry assets and the impacts on the Financial Statements of changes in fair value of biological assets performed by each company in each year under analysis. Based on the results obtained, both Precious Woods and Green Resources use the Income approach to value its forestry assets and these assets have an overall heavy weight on the financial statements of both companies. Besides, throughout the study one can notice that slight shifts in judgement concerning one or more variables relevant for the DCF model to measure forestry assets can have significant impacts on Financial Statements. Moreover, one can conclude that there is room for improvement not only in the disclosures but also in the accuracy and reliability of financial information reported in the Annual Reports of Precious Woods and Green Resources

El O PROGRAMA BOLSA FAMÍLIA EM CIDADES PEQUENAS DO NORDESTE DO BRASIL: O CASO DE ALCÂNTARAS E FRECHEIRINHA/CE

The present paper is a study about the impacts of the Bolsa Família Program (PBF) in two small cities of the Sobral Metropolitan Region: Alcântaras and Frecheirinha. We conducted field research and application of questionnaires for this work. They are two cities with predominance of distinct economic activities. However, we note that the PBF represents an important source of income for the families of both cities, which is used to purchase goods and services, also increasing their purchasing power, which in turn stimulates the production of the activity sectors. This turnover has driven the economy by generating jobs and income in local businesses and surrounding cities, impacting the lives of beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries. Keywords: Small Towns. Bolsa Família Program. Beneficiaries.El presente trabajo es un estudio sobre los impactos del Programa Bolsa Família (PBF) en dos pequeñas ciudades de la Región Metropolitana de Sobral: Alcântaras y Frecheirinha. Para llevar a cabo esta investigación, realizamos trabajo de campo y aplicación de cuestionarios. Son dos ciudades con predominio de distintas actividades económicas. Sin embargo, observamos que el PBF representa una fuente importante de ingresos para las familias de ambas ciudades, que se utiliza para comprar bienes y servicios, y también aumenta su poder adquisitivo, lo que a su vez estimula la producción de los sectores de actividad. Esta rotación ha impulsado la economía al generar empleo e ingresos en las empresas locales y las ciudades circundantes, impactando las vidas de los beneficiarios y no beneficiarios.   Palabras clave: Ciudades pequenas. Programa Bolsa Família. Beneficiarios.O presente trabalho é um estudo sobre os impactos do Programa Bolsa Família (PBF) em duas cidades pequenas da Região Metropolitana de Sobral: Alcântaras e Frecheirinha. Para a realização desta pesquisa, realizamos trabalhos de campo e aplicação de questionários. São duas cidades com predomínio de atividades econômicas distintas. No entanto observamos que o PBF representa uma importante fonte de rendimento as famílias das duas cidades, que é utilizado na aquisição de bens e serviços, aumentando também o seu poder de compra, que por sua vez estimula a produção dos setores de atividades. Essa rotatividade tem impulsionado a economia gerando emprego e renda no comércio local e nas cidades vizinhas, impactando na vida de beneficiários e não beneficiários.   Palavras-chave: Cidades pequenas.

A Prioridade dos Direitos Civis Básicos para o Liberalismo

O presente trabalho analisa um problema conceitual existente na tradição liberal, a da possibilidade de podermos afirmar que existe uma tradição liberal unificada, e não somente posturas políticas diferentes que carregam o mesmo nome. Se baseando em John Stuart Mill e sua abordagem histórica-conceitual, será afirmado que o liberalismo tem em seu cerne a defesa dos direitos civis básicos. Além disso, com a possibilidade de dividirmos uma teoria política entre uma teoria das instituições e moralidade política será argumentado ao fim deste trabalho que uma teoria liberal é a que possui direitos civis básicos como princípios políticos constitutivos

The Influence of Incentive Programs on Executives’ Risk Perception

The balance between executive compensation and value added is a constant challenge for organizations, as well as an important key to minimize agency problems. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between term of payment and compensation variability and the executives’ risk perception, as well as their motivation to add value, using the agency theory and the executive compensation literature as references for the study. Quantitative methods were applied, by collecting primary data from 121 Brazilian executives who answered a survey regarding their company’s compensation program models and their risk perception. Study results showed that executives' risk perception, as well as their motivation to add value, have statistically significant relationship with the level of compensation variability. Statistically significant relationship was also found between individual characteristics, such as age and time working for the organization, and the executive’s risk perception.The balance between executive compensation and value added is a constant challenge for organizations, as well as an important key to minimize agency problems.
