Governança corporativa e custo de agência: uma visão do mercado brasileiro

Esse trabalho investiga empiricamente a relação entre custo de agência e as medidas de monitoramento interno disponíveis aos investidores brasileiros nas empresas nacionais, utilizando amostras de companhias abertas entre os anos de 2010 e 2014, totalizando 134 empresas analisadas e 536 observações. Para medir tal relação, foram utilizadas, como variáveis de monitoramento interno, informações sobre a remuneração variável dos executivos, entre elas o uso de outorgas de opções de compra de ações, a composição do conselho de administração, dando ênfase à representatividade dos conselheiros independentes e à dualidade entre Chairman e CEO, e o percentual do capital social das companhias que está sob propriedade dos executivos. Como proxy para custo de agência, foram utilizados os indicadores Asset Turnover Ratio e General & Administrative Expenses (G&A) como percentual da Receita Líquida. Neste contexto, foram estabelecidas duas hipóteses de pesquisa e estimados modelos de regressão em painel controlados por efeitos fixos de tempo e empresa, empregando como variável dependente as variáveis proxy do custo de agência e utilizando as variáveis endividamento e tamanho das empresas como variáveis de controle. Os resultados dos modelos demonstram que, na amostra selecionada, há uma relação positiva e significativa entre o percentual da remuneração variável e as proxies de custo de agência, comportamento este contrário ao esperado originalmente. Conclui-se assim que as empresas que apresentam uma maior composição variável no total remunerado ao executivo, incorrem em um maior custo de agência, o que leva à conclusão de que tais ferramentas não são boas estratégias de alinhamento de interesses entre executivos e acionistas. As demais variáveis de monitoramento interno não apresentaram significância.

BEM-ESTAR NO TRABALHO E PERCEPÇÃO DE SUCESSO NA CARREIRA COMO ANTECEDENTES DE INTENÇÃO DE ROTATIVIDADE.

O objetivo geral deste estudo foi analisar, interpretar e discutir as relações entre as percepções de sucesso na carreira, bem-estar no trabalho e a intenção de rotatividade em trabalhadores da Região Sudeste do Brasil. Participaram desta pesquisa 500 trabalhadores que atuam no estado de São Paulo em organizações não governamentais, públicas e privadas. Como instrumento para coleta de dados foi utilizado um questionário de autopreenchimento composto de cinco escalas que mediram as variáveis da pesquisa. A presente pesquisa se propôs a apresentar, interpretar e discutir as relações entre as variáveis, como também, testar as hipóteses referentes ao modelo conceitual proposto, por meio de uma pesquisa de natureza transversal com abordagem quantitativa, cujos dados coletados foram analisados por aplicação de técnicas estatísticas paramétricas (cálculos de estatísticas descritivas: médias, desvio padrão, teste t e correlações; cálculos de estatísticas multivariadas: análise de regressão linear múltipla stepwise e teste da normalidade das variáveis, por meio do teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov). O tratamento e análise dos dados foram realizados pelo software estatístico Statistical Package for the Social Science SPSS, versão 18.0 para Windows. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que as dimensões de bem-estar no trabalho exercem forte e significativo impacto sobre a intenção de rotatividade dos profissionais, enquanto que a percepção de sucesso na carreira contribuiu com valores baixos neste impacto, devido ao formato do modelo hipotético. A pesquisa possibilitou concluir que quanto mais a empresa se preocupa em proporcionar um ambiente de trabalho que seja animador, interessante e que cause entusiasmo, menos os profissionais pensarão em deixá-la.

DETERMINANTE DE COMPOSIÇÃO DE CONSELHO DE ADMINISTRAÇÃO EM PEQUENAS E MÉDIAS EMPRESAS DE SOCIEDADE ANÔNIMA DE CAPITAL FECHADO DA REGIÃO DO ABC

O principal objetivo deste estudo é analisar os determinantes de composição de Conselho de Administração em pequenas e médias empresas de sociedade anônima de capital fechado da região do ABC paulista. A razão de iniciar este trabalho, surgiu devido à constatação de que no Brasil existem poucos artigos e dissertações que tratam de composição de Conselho e os elaborados no exterior se centralizaram na composição em termos de tamanho e tipos de diretores, de desempenho financeiro, de independência etc., mas nenhum deles focou nas determinantes de composição de pequena e média empresa. Portanto, baseando-se nas observações acima, se efetuou pesquisa de campo para responder à seguinte problemática Que determinante(s) estabelece(m) a composição de Conselho de Administração de Pequenas e Médias Empresas de Sociedade Anônima de Empresas da Região do ABC paulista? Partindo dessa problemática, se estabeleceu as seguintes hipóteses: se o poder e a influência do CEO/Presidente do Conselho em empresas de pequeno e médio porte são grandes, então existem baixas possibilidades de ter Conselheiros Externos; se houver segregação de cargos entre o CEO e o Presidente do Conselho e o CEO estiver interessado em preservar a sua atuação, então há probabilidade de escolher Conselheiros Internos; se houver segregação de cargos entre o CEO e o Presidente do Conselho e o CEO estiver interessado na eficiência, orientação e na necessidade de recursos externos, então há probabilidade de escolher Conselheiros Externos; se a empresa está no Ciclo de Vida Expansão e Maturidade- , então há possibilidades de adotarem Conselheiros Externos.(AU)

A INFLUÊNCIA DO PADRÃO ESQUELÉTICO SAGITAL NA DETERMINAÇÃO DO PADRÃO ESQUELÉTICO VERTICAL DA FACE

O presente estudo cefalométrico retrospectivo teve como objetivo avaliar a influência do padrão esquelético sagital na determinação do padrão esquelético vertical da face (Tipo Facial) em indivíduos com diferentes más oclusões, que procuraram a UMESP para tratamento ortodôntico nos últimos 10 anos. Para isso foram selecionadas as telerradiografias iniciais de 59 pacientes, com idade média de 16 anos e 7 meses variando entre 11 e 25 anos. Estes pacientes foram selecionados após a análise facial subjetiva de 1600 documentações, resultando em 3 grupos. Grupo 1 Padrão I facial; Grupo 2 - Padrão II; e, Grupo 3 - Padrão III. Após esta divisão, foi comparado se a determinação do tipo facial é diferente nas medidas angulares SN.GoGn e SN.Gn. Para testar essa hipótese, utilizou-se uma regressão logística com erros distribuídos de acordo com uma distribuição binomial. Para observar a probabilidade de uma congruência entre SN.Gn e SN.GoGn utilizou-se uma regressão logística individual para cada Padrão Facial. Observou-se que a probabilidade de uma congruência entre SN.Gn e SN.GoGn no Padrão I é relativamente alta (70%), mas para os Padrões II e III essa congruência é relativamente baixa - Padrão II (46%) e Padrão III (37%). O Padrão esquelético sagital da face (Padrão I, II e III) influencia na determinação do Tipo Facial. Utilizar a grandeza SN.Gn parece não ser apropriado para a determinação do Padrão esquelético vertical da face, em virtude do ponto Gn sofrer importantes deslocamentos nos diferentes Padrões Faciais.

UMA ANÁLISE DA RELAÇÃO ENTRE VARIÁVEIS MACROECONÔMICAS E O COMPORTAMENTO DAS AÇÕES DE MAIOR LIQUIDEZ DO ÍNDICE IBOVESPA

As ações de maior liquidez do índice IBOVESPA, refletem o comportamento das ações de um modo geral, bem como a relação das variáveis macroeconômicas em seu comportamento e estão entre as mais negociadas no mercado de capitais brasileiro. Desta forma, pode-se entender que há reflexos de fatores que impactam as empresas de maior liquidez que definem o comportamento das variáveis macroeconômicas e que o inverso também é uma verdade, oscilações nos fatores macroeconômicos também afetam as ações de maior liquidez, como IPCA, PIB, SELIC e Taxa de Câmbio. O estudo propõe uma análise da relação existente entre variáveis macroeconômicas e o comportamento das ações de maior liquidez do índice IBOVESPA, corroborando com estudos que buscam entender a influência de fatores macroeconômicos sobre o preço de ações e contribuindo empiricamente com a formação de portfólios de investimento. O trabalho abrangeu o período de 2008 a 2014. Os resultados concluíram que a formação de carteiras, visando a proteção do capital investido, deve conter ativos com correlação negativa em relação às variáveis estudadas, o que torna possível a composição de uma carteira com risco reduzido.

Prevalência e fatores associados à morbidade materna: inquérito populacional em Natal/RN

INTRODUCTION: Severe maternal morbidity , also known as maternal near miss , has been used as an alternative to the study of maternal mortality , since being more frequent shares the same determinants and enables the implementati on of epidem iological surveillance of cases . Since then, hospital audits ha ve been carried out to determine the rates of maternal near miss, its mai n causes and associated factors . More recently, population surveys based on self - reported morbidity have als o been presented as vi able in identifying these cases . OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated factors of maternal near miss and complications during pregnancy and puerperal period in Natal/RN. METHODS: A cross - secti onal population - based study was conducted in Natal /RN , Brazil, which has as its target population women aged 15 to 49 years who were pregnant in the last five years. It was carried out a probabilistic sam pling design based on a multi - stage complex sample , in which 60 census tracts were selected from three strata (north , south - east and west). Afterwards, domiciles were visited in order to obtain a sample of the 908 eligible women in whom a questionnaire was applied. The descriptive analyzes and bivariate ass ociations were performed using the Chi - square test and the estimate of the prevalence ratio (PR ) with 95% confidence interval (CI) and considering the weights and design effects . The Poisson regression analysis , also with 5% significance and 95% CI, was us ed for analyzes of associated factors. RESULTS: 848 women were identified and interviewed after visits in 8.227 households corresponding to a response rate of 93 . 4 %. The prevalence of maternal near miss was 41 . 1 /1 000NV, being the Intensive Care Unity stay i ng (19 . 1 /1 000 LB ) and eclampsia (13 . 5/1000LB) the most important marker s . The prevalence of complications in the puerperal peri od was 21 . 2 %, and hemorrhage (10 . 7%) and urinary tract infection (10 . 7%) the most frequently reported clinical conditions and rema in ing in the hospital for over a week after delivery the mo st frequent intervention (5.4%) . Regarding associated factors , the bivariate analysis showed an association between the increased number of complications in women of black/brown race ( PR= 1 . 23; CI95 % : 1 . 04 - 1 . 46) and lower socioeconomic status ( PR= 1 . 33; CI95%: 1 . 12 - 1 . 58) in women who had pre natal care in public service ( PR= 1 . 42; CI95%: 1 . 16 to 1 . 72 ) and that were not advised during prenatal about where they should do the d elivery (PR= 1 . 24; CI95%: 1 . 05 - 1 . 46), made the del ivery in the public service (PR= 1 . 63; CI95%: 1 . 30 - 2 . 03), had to search for more than one hospital for delivery (PR=1 . 22; CI95%: 1 . 03 - 1 . 45) and had no companion during childbirth ( PR =1 . 19; CI95%: 1 . 01 - 1 . 41) or at all times of childbirth c are - before, during and after childbirth - ( PR= 1 . 25, CI95%: 1 . 05 - 1 . 48) . Moreover, the number of days postpartum hospitalization was higher in women who had more complications (P R= 1 . 59 ; CI95%: 1 . 36 - 1 . 86). In the final regression model for both birth place (P R= 1 . 21 ; CI 95% : 1 . 02 to 1 . 44 ) and socioeconomic status (PR = 1.54 ; CI95%: 1 . 25 - 1 . 90 ) the association remained. CONCLUSION : Conducting population surveys using the pragmatic definition of near miss is feasible and may add importa nt information about this ev ent . It was possible to find the expression of health inequalities related to maternal health in the analysis of both socioeconomic conditions and on the utilization of health services.

Influência das medidas antropométricas sobre a pressão arterial sistêmica de hipertensos cadastrados nas unidades de saúde da família no município de João Pessoa - PB

Este trabalho objetiva avaliar a influência das medidas antropométricas sobre a pressão arterial sistêmica de uma coorte de hipertensos atendidos nas Unidades de Saúde da Família (USF) no município de João Pessoa-PB durante o período de 2008 a 2011. Para verificar as diferenças de níveis pressóricos entre as medidas realizadas nas consultas referentes ao cadastro, e a ultima pressão obtida no período de acompanhamento foram utilizadas informações sobre a identificação, dados clínicos do paciente, fatores de risco e doenças concomitantes. Testes estatísticos de comparabilidade entre grupos foram empregados. Para investigar os padrões de associação dos fatores de risco das variáveis antropométricas e sociodemográficas com a hipertensão dos pacientes, foi empregado o Modelo de Regressão Logística. Foram encontradas associações significativas (p<0,005) da hipertensão com a obesidade e o sedentarismo. Com os resultados desta pesquisa pretende-se: fornecer indicadores sobre a efetividade da Estratégia Saúde da Família; avaliar a qualidade das informações antropométricas; contribuir para a definição de estratégias que garantam o melhoramento dos acompanhamentos dos hipertensos e fornecer elementos científicos de apoio para outras USF e instituições governamentais.

Consumo privado de ansiolíticos benzodiazepínicos e sua correlação com indicadores sociodemográficos nas capitais brasileiras

This work aims to analyze the distribution of anxiolytics and their frequency of consumption in the period of 2010 to 2012, on the Federal District and at other Brazilian cities, as well as evaluating the correlation between such consumption and its demographic, epidemiological, economic and social characteristics for each region of this study. Into the analysis, it was observed that social, economic and cultural factors seem to influence the over-consumption of these drugs in many countries. Based on this, the benzodiazepines (BDZs) have achieved great popularity among members of the medical community and among the general population, mainly because of its safety and effectiveness in controlling symptoms of anxiety, insomnia and convulsions. Concerning the methodology of this work, an ecological study was performed having as sampling Brazilian capitals and as data source the 2010 Population Census, as well as information from IBGE, DATASUS and ANVISA. Still in the case of the methodological procedure, a multiple linear regression was used. Through descriptive analysis, it was demonstrated that the Northern region has the lowest average on consumption of these drugs (being 0.24 DHD in Manaus); meanwhile in the capitals of the Southeast, higher means were identified (reaching 7.29 DHD in Belo Horizonte), with a national average of 3.04 DHD. Among the drugs analyzed, it was found that Alprazolam is the most dispensed by pharmacies and private drugstores, averaging 2.00 DHD for Brazilian capitals. A análise de regressão linear múltipla mostrou que 76% da variação no consumo foi explicada pela variação da densidade populacional (β = 0,310 p = 0,045) e pela percentagem de médicos (β = 0,507 p = 0,016). Therefore, it was concluded that the consumption of anxiolytics of short half-life has been increasing over the years, mainly in the cities of greater population density and with the highest concentration of doctors

Prevalência e fatores associados à diminuição da função pulmonar em obesos em pré-operatório de cirurgia bariátrica

Introduction: Obesity shows changes in pulmonary function and respiratory mechanics, however, little is known regarding the prevalence of worsening respiratory function when considering the increase in central or peripheral adiposity or general obesity. Objectives: To analyze the association between anthropometric adiposity and decreased lung function in obese. Materials and Methods: Patients eligible for this study obese individuals (IMC≥30kg/m2) in pre-bariatric surgery and referred for Treatment Clinic of Obesity and Related Diseases, located at the University Hospital Onofre Lopes (HUOL), from October 2005 and July 2014. The evaluation included clinical information and measurement of anthropometric measures (body mass index (BMI), body fat index (BFI) and waist circumference (WC) and neck (NC)) and spirometric. The prevalence and analysis by Poisson regression was performed considering the following outcome variables: forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MVV) and as predictor variables were considered: BMI, IAC, WC and NC and as control variables: age, gender, smoking history and comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and hypertension). Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences software (SPSS - version 20.0). Results: We analyzed 384 individuals, 75% women, mean BMI: 46.6 (± 8.7) kg/m2, IAC: 49.26 (± 9.48)%, WC: 130.84 (± 16.23) cm and NC: 42.3 (± 4.6) cm. The higher prevalence of FVC and FEV1 <80% was observed in individuals with NC above 42 cm, followed those with a BMI above 45 kg/m2. Multivariate analysis using Poisson regression showed as risk factors associated with FVC <80%, the variables: NC above 42 cm (odds ratio (OR) 2.41) and BMI over 45Kg/m2 (OR 1.71 ). As for FEV1 <80% predicted, all predictor variables were associated, with the largest odds presented by the NC (3.40). MVVV was not associated with any studied varaible. Conclusion: Individuals with NC above 42 cm had higher prevalence of reduced lung function and the NC was the measure with the highest association with reduced lung function in obese.

Padrão epidemiológico das oclusopatias muito graves em adolescentes brasileiros

OBJECTIVE: To describe the distribution of malocclusion and its associated factors in Brazilian adolescents. METHODS: Data from 7,328 subjects aged 12 years and 5,445 adolescents aged 15-19 years were analyzed. The adolescents took part in the Brazilian Oral Health Survey (SBBrasil 2010). The outcome was severe malocclusion according to the dental aesthetic index. The independent variables were sex, skin color, monthly household income, possessions, number of individuals in the household, untreated dental caries, missing teeth and dental appointments or lack thereof, frequency, and reason. Logistical regression analysis was carried out, considering the complex sampling cluster design, based on a hierarchical model. RESULTS: The prevalence of severe malocclusion was 6.5% and 9.1% in the 12-year-olds and the 15-19-year-olds, respectively. After adjustment, those with lighter- skinned black or black skin were 1.59 (95%CI 1.08;2.34) times more likely to present the outcome compared with those with white skin. The loss of one or more first molars increased 2.66 (95%CI 1.26;5.63) the chance to present severe malocclusion by the age of 12. Adolescents aged 15-19 whose household income was below R$ 1,500.00 (OR 2.69 [95%CI 1.62; 4.47]) and those who had seen a dentist for treatment (OR 2.59 [95%CI 2.55;4.34]) had the greatest chance of having severe malocclusion compared with those with higher incomes and those who visited the dentist for prevention.

Acurácia dos indicadores clínicos do diagnóstico de enfermagem falta de adesão em pessoas vivendo com AIDS

In the early 1990s, a major milestone in the treatment of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome was the development of highly active combination antiretroviral therapy. The great benefit generated by the use of this therapy was prolonging the survival of the people who got this disease, since it is no longer considered fatal, becoming a chronic condition. Despite improvements generated by this therapy, there are still many difficulties to be overcome. One is the patient adherence to their treatment, bringing challenges to services and health professionals. Hence the need for early identification of nursing diagnosis Lack of Accession so that solutions are sought by the nurse with the patient and his family. With this problem, adds to the difficulty of hospital nurses in inferring that diagnosis, especially in identifying their defining characteristics. In this context, the objective was to evaluate the accuracy of clinical indicators of nursing diagnosis Lack of Adherence to antiretroviral treatment for people living with the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. The research took place in two stages. The first consists of the evaluation of the diagnostic indicators in the study; and second, the diagnostic inference performed by specialist nurses. The first step took place in a referral hospital in the treatment of infectious diseases in the Northeast of Brazil, and data were collected through an instrument for carrying out history and physical examination and analyzed for the presence or absence of the diagnostic indicators. In the second stage, the data were sent to experts, who judged the presence or absence of the diagnosis in the studied clientele. The project was submitted to the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, obtaining approval with the General Certificate for Ethics Assessment (CAAE) No 46206215.3.0000.5537. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Test were used Fisher's exact, chi-square test of Pearson and logistic regression. Since the accuracy of clinical indicators was measured by sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, likelihood ratios. As a result, we identified the presence of diagnosis Lack of Accession on 69% (n = 78) of the study patients. The defining characteristics that showed statistically significant association with the diagnosis studied were: lack of adherence behavior, complications related to development, missing scheduled appointments, failure to achieve results, and exacerbation of symptoms. The characteristic with greater sensitivity was missing scheduled appointments and the highest specificity behavior of noncompliance. The logistic regression showed as predictors for the diagnosis Lack of Accession: lack of adherence behavior, missing scheduled appointments, failure to achieve results, and exacerbation of symptoms. It was concluded that the identification of clinical indicators accurately enabled a good prediction of the nursing diagnosis Lack of Accession on people living with the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, helping nurses develop early on strategies for promoting adherence to the use of antiretrovirals.
