Gestão Orçamental Pública - Caso de Câmara Municipal do Porto Novo

As organizações dinâmicas que primam pela salvaguarda do bem-estar económico e social da colectividade, necessitam de medidas assertivas que imperem por um planeamento adequado, uma gestão rigorosa dos recursos, controlo e transparência. Com esta pesquisa pretendeu-se compreender o nível de cumprimento dos princípios legais e regras na gestão orçamental do Município do Porto Novo. Os resultados atingidos mostram que o executivo reconhece a pertinência dos princípios legais, uma vez que se preocupa com o seu cumprimento. O mesmo não acontece com a rubrica “operações de tesouraria” e com o “acúmulo de documentos em cofre”. As operações de tesouraria não são transferidas na sua totalidade, muitas vezes são utilizadas para a realização de despesas e, por vezes, relacionam-se com documentos existentes em cofre. Os resultados sugerem também, que se tem seguido um procedimento correcto no estabelecimento das previsões de algumas rubricas, ao serem baseadas no histórico de execução. Noutros casos o procedimento seguido não tem sido o mais correcto. Algumas rubricas tem previsões com tendências crescentes, enquanto que a execução apresenta tendência inversa. E por fim, quanto ao nível de execução orçamental, os resultados sugerem ainda que, ao longo do tempo, se tem situado no nível considerado de bom.

Impact of a board-game approach on current smokers: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The main objective of our study was to assess the impact of a board game on smoking status and smoking-related variables in current smokers. To accomplish this objective, we conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing the game group with a psychoeducation group and a waiting-list control group. METHODS: The following measures were performed at participant inclusion, as well as after a 2-week and a 3-month follow-up period: "Attitudes Towards Smoking Scale" (ATS-18), "Smoking Self-Efficacy Questionnaire" (SEQ-12), "Attitudes Towards Nicotine Replacement Therapy" scale (ANRT-12), number of cigarettes smoked per day, stages of change, quit attempts, and smoking status. Furthermore, participants were assessed for concurrent psychiatric disorders and for the severity of nicotine dependence with the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND). RESULTS: A time × group effect was observed for subscales of the ANRT-12, ATS-18 and SEQ-12, as well as for the number of cigarettes smoked per day. At three months follow-up, compared to the participants allocated to the waiting list group, those on Pick-Klop group were less likely to remain smoker.Outcomes at 3 months were not predicted by gender, age, FTND, stage of change, or psychiatric disorders at inclusion. CONCLUSIONS: The board game seems to be a good option for smokers. The game led to improvements in variables known to predict quitting in smokers. Furthermore, it increased smoking-cessation rates at 3-months follow-up. The game is also an interesting alternative for smokers in the precontemplation stage.
