GESTÃO DA CADEIA DE SUPRIMENTO NA PERSPECTIVA DO BALANCED SCORECARD / INTEGRATING THE THERMOMETER MODEL DYNAMIC AND KANITZ FLEURIET

Este artigo apresenta um estudo bibliográfico e de cunho exploratório, com o objetivo de apresentar o uso do Balanced Scorecard (BSC) sob a perspectiva integradora da logística. No atual contexto da economia, a gestão logística é uma peça fundamental para otimização dos custos e estimativa do ciclo de vida de cada produto. A exigência de qualidade no mercado consumidor e principalmente a competição entre fornecedores, exigem a adoção de uma abordagem de medição de desempenho moderna e alinhada ao desenvolvimento da empresa. Apesar disso, algumas empresas ainda permanecem focadas em utilizar medidas financeiras tradicionais, não gerenciando seus intangíveis. O Balanced Scorecard foi idealizado como uma poderosa ferramenta de alinhamento estratégico organizacional a qual contempla perspectivas financeiras e não financeiras. O estudo explorou breves considerações em avaliação de desempenho em logística, dando ênfase a avaliação da gestão da cadeia de suprimento e os aspectos conceituais relacionados ao modelo do Balanced Scorecard em seguida apresentando-o aplicado ao contexto da logística. Pretende-se com o escopo desta pesquisa trazer à discussão a possibilidade de uma perspectiva integradora da Gestão de Cadeia de Suprimento (SCM) ao BSC.   Palavras-chaves: Logística. Balanced Scorecard. Avaliação de Desempenho.

Mortality from gastrointestinal congenital anomalies at 264 hospitals in 74 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries: a multicentre, international, prospective cohort study

Summary Background Congenital anomalies are the fifth leading cause of mortality in children younger than 5 years globally. Many gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are fatal without timely access to neonatal surgical care, but few studies have been done on these conditions in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared outcomes of the seven most common gastrointestinal congenital anomalies in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries globally, and identified factors associated with mortality. Methods We did a multicentre, international prospective cohort study of patients younger than 16 years, presenting to hospital for the first time with oesophageal atresia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, intestinal atresia, gastroschisis, exomphalos, anorectal malformation, and Hirschsprung’s disease. Recruitment was of consecutive patients for a minimum of 1 month between October, 2018, and April, 2019. We collected data on patient demographics, clinical status, interventions, and outcomes using the REDCap platform. Patients were followed up for 30 days after primary intervention, or 30 days after admission if they did not receive an intervention. The primary outcome was all-cause, in-hospital mortality for all conditions combined and each condition individually, stratified by country income status. We did a complete case analysis. Findings We included 3849 patients with 3975 study conditions (560 with oesophageal atresia, 448 with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, 681 with intestinal atresia, 453 with gastroschisis, 325 with exomphalos, 991 with anorectal malformation, and 517 with Hirschsprung’s disease) from 264 hospitals (89 in high-income countries, 166 in middleincome countries, and nine in low-income countries) in 74 countries. Of the 3849 patients, 2231 (58·0%) were male. Median gestational age at birth was 38 weeks (IQR 36–39) and median bodyweight at presentation was 2·8 kg (2·3–3·3). Mortality among all patients was 37 (39·8%) of 93 in low-income countries, 583 (20·4%) of 2860 in middle-income countries, and 50 (5·6%) of 896 in high-income countries (p<0·0001 between all country income groups). Gastroschisis had the greatest difference in mortality between country income strata (nine [90·0%] of ten in lowincome countries, 97 [31·9%] of 304 in middle-income countries, and two [1·4%] of 139 in high-income countries; p≤0·0001 between all country income groups). Factors significantly associated with higher mortality for all patients combined included country income status (low-income vs high-income countries, risk ratio 2·78 [95% CI 1·88–4·11], p<0·0001; middle-income vs high-income countries, 2·11 [1·59–2·79], p<0·0001), sepsis at presentation (1·20 [1·04–1·40], p=0·016), higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score at primary intervention (ASA 4–5 vs ASA 1–2, 1·82 [1·40–2·35], p<0·0001; ASA 3 vs ASA 1–2, 1·58, [1·30–1·92], p<0·0001]), surgical safety checklist not used (1·39 [1·02–1·90], p=0·035), and ventilation or parenteral nutrition unavailable when needed (ventilation 1·96, [1·41–2·71], p=0·0001; parenteral nutrition 1·35, [1·05–1·74], p=0·018). Administration of parenteral nutrition (0·61, [0·47–0·79], p=0·0002) and use of a peripherally inserted central catheter (0·65 [0·50–0·86], p=0·0024) or percutaneous central line (0·69 [0·48–1·00], p=0·049) were associated with lower mortality. Interpretation Unacceptable differences in mortality exist for gastrointestinal congenital anomalies between lowincome, middle-income, and high-income countries. Improving access to quality neonatal surgical care in LMICs will be vital to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 of ending preventable deaths in neonates and children younger than 5 years by 2030

COCRIAÇÃO E COLABORAÇÃO: COMO FUNCIONA ESSA RELAÇÃO NO SEGMENTO DE HOSPEDAGEM

With the development of new technologies and communication networks, as well as the limitations of the traditional economic model in the face of consumer expectations, collaborative consumption has proven to be an alternative to satisfy consumption needs. This paper aims to analyze which aspects of value co-creation most influence consumers of a collaborative hosting business. The research was developed with the application of a questionnaire with 306 users of the platform, being a descriptive study and using quantitative analysis methods to obtain the results. The results showed that Transparency and Dialogue are the main factors for the co-creation of value within the segment, with women, younger and with higher incomes, tend to be more demanding in terms of co-creation tools. This study is justified as the behavioral changes of consumers emerge regarding the hosting service, where the possibility of network interaction between users and the company has generated processes of co-creation of value.Com o desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias e redes de comunicação, bem como as limitações do modelo econômico tradicional frente às expectativas dos consumidores, o consumo colaborativo tem se mostrado como uma alternativa para a satisfação das necessidades de consumo. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar quais aspectos da cocriação de valor mais influenciam consumidores de um negócio colaborativo de hospedagem. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com a aplicação de questionário com 306 usuários da plataforma, sendo um estudo descritivo e com emprego de métodos de análises quantitativas para obtenção dos resultados. Os resultados apontaram que Transparência e Diálogo são os principais fatores de cocriação de valor dentro do segmento, sendo que pessoas do sexo feminino, mais jovens e com maiores rendas tendem a ser mais exigentes quanto às ferramentas de cocriação. Este estudo justifica-se à medida que surgem alterações comportamentais dos consumidores frente ao serviço de hospedagem, onde a possibilidade de interação em rede entre usuários e empresa tem gerado processos de cocriação de valor

Conceptual Model for Assessing Logistics Maturity in Smart City Dimensions

The advancement of new technologies and the increasingly inseparable presence of logistics systems in the daily life of cities, industries, companies, and society has been modifying how logistics processes are implemented in these environments based on technological innovations, internet, virtual businesses, mobility, and the use of multi-channel distribution. Together with these changes, urban centers have been connecting to the smart city concept as the understanding of this theme advances into the debate and improvements in the agendas of either public or private management. This research proposes a conceptual model for evaluating logistics maturity in the smart city dimensions. The method has a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive approach, supported by the Delphi method, which uses a questionnaire and interview as a data collection instrument with specialists on the subject. We identified that qualifying logistics in the urban environment is complex and requires a specialized look at identifying cities’ structural, geographic, regional, social, and environmental characteristics. As a social–technological contribution, the proposition of the logistics maturity assessment scale in smart city dimensions can serve as an evaluative model of logistics, which means helping in urban planning and strategic management of cities, offering smarter solutions to the realities of urban spaces

Neotropical freshwater fisheries : A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the Neotropics

The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large-scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern limits in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. We compiled 185,787 distribution records, with unique georeferenced coordinates, for the 4225 species, represented by occurrence and abundance data. The number of species for the most numerous orders are as follows: Characiformes (1289), Siluriformes (1384), Cichliformes (354), Cyprinodontiformes (245), and Gymnotiformes (135). The most recorded species was the characid Astyanax fasciatus (4696 records). We registered 116,802 distribution records for native species, compared to 1802 distribution records for nonnative species. The main aim of the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set was to make these occurrence and abundance data accessible for international researchers to develop ecological and macroecological studies, from local to regional scales, with focal fish species, families, or orders. We anticipate that the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set will be valuable for studies on a wide range of ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, fishery pressure, the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation, and the impacts of species invasion and climate change.

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used.
