Expressão imunoistoquímica de EGFR e PTEN em displasias epiteliais oriais

A displasia epitelial (DE) oral é uma desordem potencialmente maligna (DPM), cujo diagnóstico e gradação histológica se baseiam nas suas alterações arquiteturais e citológicas. Para avaliar o risco de transformação maligna dessas lesões de forma mais precisa é fundamental entender e localizar alterações genéticas e epigenéticas nas células displásicas, as quais podem ajudar a compreender melhor a progressão para a malignidade. Dessa forma, o presente estudo objetivou avaliar a imunoexpressão de EGFR e PTEN nas DEs orais e relacionar esse aspecto com as características clínicas e gradação histológica pelo sistema binário (baixo e alto risco de transformação maligna). Para tanto, foram selecionados 20 casos de DE de alto risco e 20 de baixo risco para serem submetidos à análise imunoistoquímica para os biomarcadores supracitados. A imunomarcação de cada caso foi avaliada semiquantitativamente através de escores e quanto à localização nos estratos epiteliais. A análise estatística foi realizada através dos testes de Mann-Whitney, Qui-quadrado de Pearson, Exato de Fisher e de correlação de Spearman com nível de significância estabelecido em 5%. Os resultados mostraram que 57,5% dos pacientes eram do gênero feminino, a média de idade foi de 57,5 anos, 42,5% foram diagnosticados clinicamente como leucoplasia e a maioria dos casos foi proveniente de lesões localizadas na língua (32,5%). De forma geral, gênero e idade não exerceram influência na imunoexpressão do EGFR e PTEN. A expressão do EGFR foi observada em 100% dos casos, nos quais houve predomínio do escore 3 (75%) e imunoreatividade em todas as camadas epiteliais (55%), independente da gradação histológica (p = 0,453 e p = 0,204, respectivamente). O PTEN revelou positividade de marcação em 87,5% dos casos, nos quais observou-se predomínio do escore 0 (55%) e imunoreatividade limitada à camada basal (40%), porém sem diferenças significativas entre os grupos histológicos (p = 0,904 e p = 0,915, respectivamente). Por fim, quando analisados, em conjunto, os 40 casos de DEs, foi observada uma fraca correlação positiva, estatisticamente significativa, entre os padrões de imunoexpressão do EGFR e do PTEN (r = 0,317; p = 0,046). Com base nesses resultados, alterações no padrão de expressão do EGFR e PTEN sugerem que essas proteínas participam de processos moleculares relacionados com a carcinogênese em mucosa oral

Expressão imuno-histoquímica da e-caderina e da ß-catenina em carcinoma epidermóide oral com e sem metástase nodal

The adhesion molecules E-cadherin and β-catenin have been studied as possible markers to distinguish carcinomas with and without metastatic potential. The objective of this research was to study the imunohistochemistry expression of the E-cadherin and β-catenin in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), aiming to contribute for the better understanding of the biological behavior of this lesion. The sample consisted of 30 cases of OSCC, being 15 of tongue and 15 of lower lip. The profile and intensity of labeling and semi quantitative analysis of the percentage of immunopositive tumoral cells in membrane for E-cadherin and β-catenin had been related with the anatomical localization of the lesion, the presence or not of nodal metastasis and the histological grade of malignancy in the invasive front area of the tumor. It was registered the presence or not of cytoplasmic and nuclear labeling of the β-catenin. The results had been submitted to the statistical analysis, being used the Mann-Whitney Test, the Fisher Test and the Spearman Correlation Coefficient (α=0, 05). The results showed that the expression in membrane for E-cadherin and β-catenin was, predominantly, the heterogeneous profile in the lower lip and tongue carcinomas, as well as in the cases with and without nodal metastasis. It was not observed significant statistical difference between expression profile and amount of immunopositive cells for E-cadherin, β-catenin and the anatomical localization of the lesion and for the presence or not of nodal metastasis. However, there was significant difference of the reduced expression of these proteins with the high score of malignancy. It was verified that the expression of the β-catenin in cytoplasm was present in 22 (73.33%) of the 30 analyzed cases, and 6 cases (20%) showed nuclear expression. The statistical analysis detected significant association between the expression of the β-catenin in the cytoplasm with the histological grade of malignancy, being this molecule more frequently present in the cytoplasm in the cases of high score of malignancy. It was concluded that the reduced immunoexpression of these proteins in membrane can be related with the lowest cellular differentiation, as well as with the pattern of invasion in nests and isolated cells, demonstrated in the cases of OSCC with high histological grade of malignancy

Perfil hormonal anual de machos e fêmeas adultos de saguis (callithrix jacchus)

Many behavioral and biological variables of animals are expressed in the form of biological rhytms, down by the Circadian Timing System, that synchronize them with the environment from external stimuli such as light. One of them is the secretion profile of most circulating hormones regulated by the hypothalamuspirtuitary axis, which controls functions essential for the survival and reproduction of organisms. The sagüi, Callithrix jacchus, one of the most studied species about their endocrine physiology, is an appropriate subject for evaluating the profile of plasma prolactin and cortisol of adult males and females born in captivity throughout the year. Three male and two adult femelas were housed individually and subjected to natural environmental conditions over two years. Blood samples were used to measure the circulating levels of both hormones by methods radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunoassay (ELISA), respectively. The analysis during the year of the plasmatic values of both hormones test was performed by ANOVA for repeated measures, the correlation of Spearman, and the test of Friedman and Student's t-test. The levels of prolactin in plasma were higher during the months in which there is a greater incidence of births of baby in the colony, possibly serving for modulating the expression of the behavior of parental care in both sexes. The plasma cortisol showed a lift in anticipation of the station with the highest birth rate and may be associated with the preparation of individual participation in caring for the baby, and also with the establishment of emotional bond between reproductive partners. Thus, this study shows that, despite the variations observed in the environment in which the animals live, plasma levels of prolactin and cortisol vary little throughout the year.

Prospecção e formação no domínio das competências e habilidades em tecnologia da informação: o caso do projeto metrópole digital em Natal/RN

This study deals with cognitive competences and abilities that are relevant to selection and education regarding Information Technology (IT). These competences relate to problem solving, decision making, and practical intelligence that regard scholar and extracurricular knowledge mobilization. The research aimed to contribute for the improvement of a selection instrument, consisting of five arrays of skills (dealing with objectives and prospection), as well as the development and comprehension of those skills that are involved in IT education. This is done by means of an analysis on the selection instrument used in the first selective process that occurred at Metropole Digital an Institute at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil. This was evaluated aiming to acknowledge IT education (with basic training and emphasis on Web programming and electronics). The methodology used was of quantitative method involving performance scores relating education delivery. An Anova analysis of variance was done along with descriptive analysis involving socioeconomic data that was not observed in the meaningful relations between parental instruction and student performance in the graduate course. These analyses were able to point out the importance and need of the policies for vacancy reservation on behalf of public school students. A Spearman correlation analysis was done considering the instrument selection performance in the training course. The instrument is presented as a predictor that is significantly moderate and presents a good performance in the course as a whole. A Cluster and Regression analysis was also realized in the process. The first analysis allowed finding performance groups (Clusters) that ranged from medium and inferior. The regression analysis was able to point out association amongst criterion variables and the (average performance in basic and advanced modules) and explanatory (five matrixes). Regression analysis indicated that matrix 1 and matrix 3 were pointed out as being the strongest ones. In all the above analysis, the correlation between the instrument and the course was considered moderate. Thus this can be related in some of the aspects present in the course such as emphasis on evaluation itself as well as in technical contents and practical skills (educational ones) and competences and selection skills. It is known that the mediation of technological artifact in cultural context can foster the development of skills and abilities relevant to IT training. This study provides subsidies to reflect on the adoption of selection instrument and IT training in the Institute. Thus the research offers means to achieve a interdisciplinary discussion and enriching of areas such as Psychology and Information Technology; all of which regarding competencies and skills relevant in IT training

Análise da concordância entre instrumentos de avaliação do equilíbrio corporal em idosos

CONTEXTUALIZAÇÃO: Diagnosticar os parâmetros clínicos associados com as quedas em idosos tornou-se um grande desafio para a comunidade científica. Apesar da existência de diversos instrumentos direcionados à avaliação do equilíbrio corporal em idosos, ainda é escasso o número de trabalhos que investigaram e discutiram a concordância entre os diversos métodos. OBJETIVO: Analisar a correlação entre alguns testes usados para avaliar o equilíbrio corporal no idoso. MÉTODOS: Tratou-se de um estudo transversal, observacional, realizado com 30 voluntárias idosas comunitárias, hígidas, com diferentes níveis de condicionamento físico. Foram utilizados o Teste de Alcance Funcional Anterior (TAF), a Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg (EEB), o teste Timed Up and Go (TUG) e o Teste de Equilíbrio de Tinetti (Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment - POMA). A correlação dos dados foi realizada por meio da aplicação do Coeficiente de Correlação de Spearman, com nível de significância de 5% (p<0,05). RESULTADOS: Observou-se correlação positiva e moderada entre o TAF e a EEB (r=0,4845; p=0,0067), entre o TAF e a POMA (r=0,4136; p= 0,0231), entre a EEB e a POMA (r=0,6088; p=0,0004). CONCLUSÃO: Os testes são complementares, dado que se mostraram com particularidades e limitações distintas. Torna-se razoável, portanto, a aplicação conjunta desses instrumentos para melhor avaliar o equilíbrio de idosas.

Debris, Roughness and Friction of Stainless Steel Archwires Following Clinical Use

Objective: To investigate the degree of debris, roughness, and friction of stainless steel orthodontic archwires before and after clinical use.Materials and Methods: For eight individuals, two sets of three brackets (n = 16) each were bonded from the first molar to the first premolar. A passive segment of 0.019- x 0.025-inch stainless steel archwire was inserted into the brackets and tied by elastomeric ligature. Debris level (via scanning electron microscopy), roughness, and frictional force were evaluated as-received and after 8 weeks of intraoral exposure. Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon signed-rank, and Spearman correlation tests were used for statistical analysis at the .05 level of significance.Results: There were significant increases in the level of debris (P = .0004), roughness of orthodontic wires (P = .002), and friction (P = .0001) after intraoral exposure. Significant positive correlations (P < .05) were observed between these three variables.Conclusion: Stainless steel rectangular wires, when exposed to the intraoral environment for 8 weeks, showed a significant increase in the degree of debris and surface roughness, causing an increase in friction between the wire and bracket during the mechanics of sliding.

Correlação entre a qualidade de vida, classe funcional e idade em portadores de marca-passo cardíaco

OBJETIVO: Avaliar se existe correlação entre qualidade de vida e classe funcional em pacientes no pós-implante de marca-passo cardíaco, e sua relação com idade. MÉTODOS: Investigados 107 pacientes de ambos os sexos (49,5% do sexo feminino e 50,5% do sexo masculino), tempo médio de implante 6,36º ±2,99 meses e média de idade 69,3º ±12,6 anos. Para avaliação da classe funcional, foi utilizada escala proposta por Goldman e para qualidade de vida, questionário AQUAREL associado ao SF-36. Realizada análise estatística pela correlação de Spearman, com significância de 5%. RESULTADOS: Foram observadas correlações negativas entre qualidade de vida e classe funcional: AQUAREL nos três domínios, desconforto no peito (r=-0,197, P=0,042), dispneia (r=-0,508, P =0,000), arritmia (r=-0,271, P=0,005) e, no SF-36 nos oito domínios. em relação à idade, correlação negativa com Capacidade Funcional do SF-36 (r=-0,338, P=0,000) e não se observou correlação com AQUAREL. Entre idade e classe funcional observou-se correlação positiva (r=0,237, P=0,014). CONCLUSÃO: Neste estudo, encontrou-se correlação negativa entre qualidade de vida e classe funcional, evidenciando nesta amostra que os pacientes pertencentes a melhor classe funcional apresentaram melhor qualidade de vida. Conforme maior idade, pior a qualidade de vida em Capacidade Funcional e em classe funcional. Sugere-se, que idade e classe funcional influenciam qualidade de vida e as escalas de classificação funcional podem constituir um dos instrumentos que integram a avaliação e refletem a qualidade de vida em portadores de marca-passo.

Uma Análise de métodos de distriubuição de atributos em comitês de classificadores

The objective of the researches in artificial intelligence is to qualify the computer to execute functions that are performed by humans using knowledge and reasoning. This work was developed in the area of machine learning, that it s the study branch of artificial intelligence, being related to the project and development of algorithms and techniques capable to allow the computational learning. The objective of this work is analyzing a feature selection method for ensemble systems. The proposed method is inserted into the filter approach of feature selection method, it s using the variance and Spearman correlation to rank the feature and using the reward and punishment strategies to measure the feature importance for the identification of the classes. For each ensemble, several different configuration were used, which varied from hybrid (homogeneous) to non-hybrid (heterogeneous) structures of ensemble. They were submitted to five combining methods (voting, sum, sum weight, multiLayer Perceptron and naïve Bayes) which were applied in six distinct database (real and artificial). The classifiers applied during the experiments were k- nearest neighbor, multiLayer Perceptron, naïve Bayes and decision tree. Finally, the performance of ensemble was analyzed comparatively, using none feature selection method, using a filter approach (original) feature selection method and the proposed method. To do this comparison, a statistical test was applied, which demonstrate that there was a significant improvement in the precision of the ensembles

Dysautonomia and ventricular dysfunction in the indeterminate form of Chagas disease

Background: the associations between autonomic function and biventricular function in patients with the indeterminate form of Chagas disease remains to be elucidated.Methods: In 42 asymptornatic patients and 19 healthy volunteers, the autonomic function was assessed by time domain indices of heart rate variability (HRV), analyzed for 24 h; the right ventricular function was assessed by fraction area change, right ventricle shortening, and systolic excursion of the tricuspid valve; and the left ventricular function was assessed by ejection fraction and transmittal flow velocities. Data were expressed as mean SD or medians (including the lower quartile and upper quartile). Groups were compared by Student's t or Mann-Whitney U test. Autonomic and ventricular function were correlated by Pearson's or Spearman's correlation coefficient. The level of significance was 5%.Results: Right and left ventricular systolic function indexes were comparable between groups. Transmittal flow velocities were decreased in the Chagas disease group (p < 0.05). The patients presented impaired HRV as indicated by the values of SDNN-day (80 (64-99) ms vs. 98 (78-127) ms; p = 0.045), SDNNI-24 It (54 (43-71) vs. 65 (54-105) ms; p = 0.027), SDNNI-day (49 (42-64) vs. 67 (48-76) ms; p = 0.045), pNN50-day (2.2 (0.7-5)% vs. 10 (3-11)%; p = 0.033); and pNN50-24 It (3 (1-7)% vs. 12 (8-19)%; p = 0.013). There were no correlations between the left ventricular diastolic indices and autonomic dysfunctional indices (p > 0.05).Conclusion: Patients with the indeterminate form of Chagas disease have both dysautonomia, and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. However, the right ventricular function is preserved. Importantly, ventricular diastolic dysfunction and dysautonomia. are independent phenomena. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.. All rights reserved.

Comparação de diferentes métodos para medida do tamanho do infarto experimental crônico em Ratos

OBJETIVO: Avaliar as diferenças entre três métodos para medida do infarto experimental em ratos, em relação ao método tradicional. MÉTODOS: A área infartada por histologia (AREA), o perímetro interno da cavidade infartada por histologia (PER) e o perímetro interno por ecocardiograma (ECO) foram comparados ao método tradicional (análise histológica das circunferências epicárdicas e endocárdicas da região infartada - CIR). Utilizaram-se ANOVA de medidas repetidas, complementada com o teste de comparações múltiplas de Dunn, o método de concordância de Bland & Altman e o teste de correlação de Spearman. A significância foi p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: Foram analisados dados de 122 animais, após 3 a 6 meses do infarto. Houve diferença na avaliação do tamanho do infarto entre CIR e os outros três métodos (p < 0,001): CIR = 42,4% (35,9-48,8), PER = 50,3% (39,1-57,0), AREA = 27,3% (20,2-34,3), ECO = 46,1% (39,9-52,6). Assim, a medida por área resultou em subestimação de 15% do tamanho do infarto, enquanto as medidas por ecocardiograma e pelo perímetro interno por meio de histologia resultaram em superestimação do tamanho do infarto de 4% e 5%, respectivamente. em relação ao ECO e PER, apesar de a diferença entre os métodos ser de apenas 1,27%, o intervalo de concordância variou de 24,1% a -26,7%, sugerindo baixa concordância entre os métodos. em relação às associações, houve correlações estatisticamente significativas entre: CIR e PER (r = 0,88 e p < 0,0001); CIR e AREA (r = 0,87 e p < 0,0001) e CIR e ECO (r = 0,42 e p < 0,0001). CONCLUSÃO: Na determinação do tamanho do infarto, apesar da alta correlação, houve baixa concordância entre os métodos.

Contribuição da glicemia pós-desjejum para o controle glicêmico do paciente com diabetes melito tipo 2

Estudos epidemiológicos observaram que glicemias pós-prandiais (GPPs) elevadas são fator principal na ocorrência de doenças cardiovasculares. Sabe-se que a hemoglobina glicada (HbA1C) reflete a glicemia média dos últimos 2-3 meses, entretanto é controversa a contribuição relativa da glicemia de jejum (GJ) e GPP para o valor da HbA1C. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a contribuição da GJ e GPPs para o valor da HbA1C em pacientes com diabetes melito tipo 2 (DM2). MÉTODOS: Participaram 53 indivíduos com DM2, estáveis e em tratamento com antidiabéticos orais (n= 27) e/ou insulina (n= 26). Cada paciente comparecia a 3 visitas a intervalos de 2 meses. em cada visita era medida a GJ, as GPPs (2h pós-desjejum: GPD e pós-almoço: GPA) e a HbA1C, sendo fornecido o desjejum e o almoço segundo seus hábitos alimentares. Mediu-se a glicose plasmática pela glicose-oxidase e a HbA1C, pela cromatografia de troca iônica. Realizou-se a análise das associações pelo coeficiente de correlação de Spearman, com P< 0,05. RESULTADOS: A HbA1C correlacionou-se melhor em cada visita ao longo do estudo com a GPD (r: 0,66­0,48), a glicemia média (r: 0,64­0,41), a área abaixo da curva glicêmica (r : 0,64­0,46) e a GPP média (r: 0,59­0,41). CONCLUSÕES: A GPD mostrou-se um parâmetro eficaz adicional no monitoramento glicêmico dos pacientes com DM2.

Tc-99m-sestamibi scintigraphy used to evaluate tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced breast cancer: A quantitative analysis

To evaluate the tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, Tc-99m-sestamibi breast scintigraphy was proposed as a quantitative method Fifty-five patients with ductal carcinoma were studied They underwent breast scintigraphy before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, along with clinical assessment and surgical specimen analysis The regions of interest on the lesion and contralateral breast were identified, and the pixel counts were used to evaluate lesion uptake in relation to background radiation The ratio of these counts before to after neoadjuvant chemotherapy was assessed The decrease in uptake rate due to chemotherapy characterized the scintigraphy tumor response The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the mean scintigraphic tumor response and histological type Dunn's multiple comparison test was used to detect differences between histological types The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare means between quantitative and qualitative variables scintigraphic tumor response vs clinical response and uptake before chemotherapy vs scintigraphic tumor response The Spearman's test was used to correlate the quantitative variables of clinical reduction in tumor size and scintigraphic tumor response All of the variables compared presented significant differences The change in Tc-99m-sestamibi uptake noted on breast scintigraphy, before to after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, may be used as an effective method for evaluating the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, since this quantification reflects the biological behavior of the tumor towards the chemotherapy regimen Furthermore, additional analysis on the uptake rate before chemotherapy may accurately predict treatment response

Fatores de sucesso ou insucesso do turismo ambientalmente sustentável : percepção das autoridades públicas no pólo costa das dunas do Rio Grande do Norte

This study aims to compare the thermal performance of tiles made from recycled material (waste packaging cardboard with aluminized film) with the tiles of fiber and bitumen, fiber cement and red ceramic with the aim of verifying the suitability of tile to be used in hot and humid climate of low latitude. The samples were selected according to the availability from Natal RN market, as they are sold to the consumers. The methodology was based on studies that used experimental apparatus composed of thermal chambers heated by banks of incandescent bulbs, to analyze the thermal performance of materials. The tiles in the study were submitted to analysis of thermal performance, thermophysical properties and absorptance, using chambers of thermal performance, measuring the thermophysical properties and portable spectrometer, respectively. Comparative analysis of thermal performance between two samples of the recycled material with dimple sizes and different amounts of aluminum were made, in order to verify, if these characteristics had some interference on the thermal performance of them; the results showed no significant performance differences between the samples. The data obtained in chambers of thermal performance and confirmed by statistical analysis, showed, that the tile of recycled material have similar thermal performance to the tile of fiber cement. In addition to these tests was carried out the automatic monitoring of a building covered with tiles of recycled material, to verify its thermal performance in a real situation. The results showed that recycled shingles must be used with technical criteria similar to those used for fiber cement tiles, with regard to the heat gain into the building. Within these criteria should be taken into account local characteristics, especially in regions with hot and humid climate, and its use must be associated, according to the literature, to elements of thermal insulation and use of passive techniques such as vented attics, ceilings and right foot higher

Comparação entre a relação PCR/albumina e o índice prognóstico inflamatório nutricional (IPIN)

Objetivo: Simplificar o cálculo do índice prognóstico inflamatório nutricional (IPIN) empregando número menor de variáveis com conseqüente redução do custo da análise. Materiais e métodos: Foram estudados 54 pacientes e 12 indivíduos-controle com 48 ± 20 (média ± dp) anos de idade. As principais patologias dos pacientes eram: doença arterial periférica (22), pênfigo foliáceo (7), doença inflamatória intestinal (7), trauma (6) e pós-operatório de ortognatia (3). Foram obtidas amostras de sangue periférico, colhidas em jejum para dosagens de proteínas positivas (+) e negativas (-) de fase aguda (PFA) pelo método nefelométrico. Proteína C reativa (PCR), alfa-1-glicoproteína-ácida (alfa-1-GA), alfa-1-antitripsina (alfa-1-AT) e ceruloplasmina (CER) foram as PFA+ e albumina (Alb), transtiretina (TTR), transferrina (TF) e proteína ligadora do retinol (RBP) foram as representantes das PFA-. Esses valores foram analisados quanto à associação de correlação isolada ou associadamente na fórmula do índice prognóstico inflamatório e nutricional (IPIN = PCR + alfa-1-GA / Alb + TTR). de acordo com o índice prognóstico inflamatório e nutricional, os pacientes foram classificados em grupo-controle (G1); pacientes sem infecção/inflamação (IPIN < 1, G2) ou com risco de inflamação/infecção (IPIN > 1, G3). em seguida os pacientes do G3 foram subdivididos em baixo risco (G3A, n = 16); médio risco ( G3B, n = 10); alto risco (G3C, n = 6) e com risco de morte (G3D, n = 11). Os resultados foram correlacionados entre si (teste de Spearman) ou submetidos às comparações entre grupos (teste de Kruskall-Wallis). Resultados: Houve relação significativa entre as variáveis PCR ´ alfa-1-GA (r = 0,49), Alb ´ TTR (r = 0,60), Alb ´ RBP (r = 0,58), Alb ´ TF (r = 0,39), TTR ´ RBP (r = 0,56) e TTR´ TF (r = 0,43) e as melhores relações encontradas entre PFA+ e PFA- foram: PCR ´ Alb (r = - 0,71), PCR ´ TTR (r = - 0,54), PCR ´ TF (r = - 0,39) e alfa-1-GA ´ Alb (r = - 0,35). Os valores do IPIN mostraram a diferenciação G3 > (G1 = G2) e G3 > G3A. Entre todas as proteínas dosadas apenas PCR, Alb e TTR discriminaram os grupos: sendo G3 > (G1= G2) para PCR e G3< (G1= G2) para Alb e TTR. Apenas PCR, TTR e TF discriminaram a morbimortalidade com G3D > G3A (para PCR) e G3D < G3A (para TTR e TF). PCR/Alb e IPIN apresentaram concordância de valores para os riscos de complicações. Conclusão: Assim, conclui-se pela possibilidade de substituição do IPIN pela relação PCR/albumina, mais simples e de menor custo, mantendo-se o mesmo poder e sensibilidade para diagnóstico dos graus de risco de complicações.
