Percepção dos alunos sobre o impacto de curto prazo dos cursos de MBA em suas carreiras

A economia brasileira está crescendo e a demanda por gestores tem se intensificado no País. Com o intuito de formar líderes e de atender à necessidade de conhecimentos em gestão, surge uma grande variedade de cursos de pós-graduação em administração – os MBAs –, com base no modelo norte-americano, mas com características particulares à realidade brasileira. Entretanto, enquanto, nos Estados Unidos, se observa vasta literatura de avaliação dos MBAs, no Brasil, faltam estudos que avaliem a capacidade desses cursos em promover o desenvolvimento profissional e contribuir para a evolução da carreira de seus alunos. Os poucos estudos nesse sentido concentram-se exclusivamente nos impactos objetivos do curso na carreira, como salário e cargo. Por outro lado, as trajetórias de carreira têm se tornado mais fluidas e flexíveis. Nesse contexto, surge, entre outros, o conceito de carreira sem fronteiras, que destaca os aspectos subjetivos da carreira, como a motivação, satisfação e mobilidade, por exemplo. Este trabalho é um estudo tipo survey, com o objetivo de levantar a percepção de alunos e ex-alunos sobre o impacto dos cursos MBA em suas carreiras. Ele foi conduzido com alunos prestes a concluírem o curso e ex-alunos de três diferentes cursos de MBA brasileiros, de uma mesma instituição, a Fundação Getulio Vargas. Observou-se que esses profissionais percebem impactos positivos dos cursos em suas carreiras. Entre eles, percebem-se com maior intensidade impactos subjetivos, relacionados ao sentimento do indivíduo em relação à própria carreira e sua evolução. Este estudo identifica, interpreta e discute tais impactos e sua relação com a teoria de carreiras sem fronteiras.

Economia quase estagnada, acúmulo de incertezas e expectativas negativas no curto prazo (Agosto 2014)

A Copa do Mundo trouxe notícias ruins para o país não só em relação ao que aconteceu com a seleção brasileira nos gramados, mas, também, quanto aos impactos sobre o nível de atividade da economia. As preocupações estão mais recentemente fundamentadas nos resultados de junho: da produção industrial (Pesquisa Industrial Mensal – Produção Física); das vendas no comércio varejista (Pesquisa Mensal do Comércio — PMC); e da produção de Serviços (Pesquisa Mensal de Serviços —PMS, todas do IBGE).

Implicações de curto e longo prazo das estimativas do estoque e da renda do capital

Este trabalho procura abordar as consequências empíricas e teóricas associadas a possíveis diferenças entre o valor do estoque de capital e o valor do investimento associado a este capital. Com base em evidências empíricas mostra-se que a utilização da acumulação de investimento depreciado como proxy para o estoque de capital no Brasil cria um conjunto de fatos incompatível com modelos dinâmicos que trabalham com crescimento equilibrado ou com função de produção agregadas. Outra questão que o trabalho investiga diz respeito a remuneração do capital no Brasil, o uso das Contas Nacionais sugere que o capital apropria metade da renda dos fatores, valor alto se comparado com valores internacionais. Usando metodologias alternativas é possível encontrar valores compatíveis com os níveis internacionais. Finalmente utiliza-se uma variação do modelo básico de crescimento para avaliar os impactos de curto e longo prazo do desperdício e da renda do capital em uma economia arti…cial calibrada para reproduzir alguns fatos da economia brasileira.

Cálculo do indicador de risco de liquidez de curto prazo dos dez maiores bancos brasileiros nos últimos cinco anos

Em resposta à crise financeira de 2008, em 2010 o Comitê de Basileia em Supervisão Bancária (Basel Committee on Banking Supervision - BCBS) emitiu a metodologia do cálculo do indicador de Risco de Liquidez de curto prazo (Liquidity Coverage Ratio - LCR) que é um dos componentes do conjunto de normas conhecido como Basileia III. Esse índice mede se cada conglomerado possui um estoque de ativos financeiros líquidos de alta qualidade de forma a suportar uma crise severa por 30 dias. Esse trabalho calculou o índice de liquidez de curto prazo dos dez maiores bancos brasileiros em ativos totais nos últimos cinco anos, seguindo as diretrizes do documento acima mencionado e do Banco Central do Brasil. A finalidade desse estudo foi verificar se houve uma melhora na liquidez dos grandes bancos após a divulgação da metodologia de cálculo do LCR, uma vez que a partir de 2015 é esperado pelo Banco Central do Brasil que os bancos possuam pelo menos 60% de ativos líquidos para suportar uma crise de 30 dias. A análise foi conduzida utilizando dados contábeis oriundos tanto do banco de dados do Banco Central do Brasil quanto das publicações individuais de cada instituição. Essa análise permitiu avaliar que os principais bancos do sistema financeiro brasileiro já estão preparados para atender aos requisitos internacionais e que não serão necessárias grandes alterações na estrutura do balanço das instituições analisadas, evitando a migração seus ativos de empréstimos, aplicações em certificados de depósitos interbancários e títulos privados para títulos de alta qualidade e liquidez.

Circuito regional de performance BodeArte: encontros, coletividade e porítica na performance do Rio Grande do Norte

This dissertation aims to look into the structure of the event Circuito Regional de Performance BodeArte1 to think how it collaborate with its proposal providing theoretical points to relevant questions to the comprehension of Brazilian performance art in contemporaneity, since its conceptual format until its occurrence and practical limitations. From this proposition the dissertation is organized into three chapters guided for the following aspects: the resumption of the events encompassed on the occurrence of Circuit BodeArte as well as a tabulation of the data reunited in its history, the presentation of its conceptual choices, and the metaphors conducted by the use of the term performance and how they can lead us to the idea of a performance-as-BodeArte. The methodological structures moved for this organization are qualitative, and have been formed from printed materials, texts, festival programs, blog, videos, photos, interviews, lectures and forums, plus our own memory as a producer and performer of the event, looking through these set points of the epistemological organization contained on the proposal of the Circuito, expanding and discussing them. This way this research moves between the propositions of this event in its three editions, promoting discussions that dialogue with concepts such as the emergence of Steve Johnson (2004), the metaphors of thought proposed by Christine Greiner (2005), the idea of performance hacker of Maria Beatriz de Medeiros (AQUINO, et al., 2012), as well as other propositions presented by Jan Swidzinski (2005) and Eleonora Fabião (2012)

Efeito imediato e a curto prazo do cigarro sobre o transporte mucociliar nasal de fumadores

Background and objectives: The efficiency of mucociliary transport may vary in different conditions, such as in exposure to harmful particles of the cigarette smoke. The present study evaluated the acute and short term effects of smoking on nasal mucociliary clearance in current smokers by the quantification of the Saccharin Transit Time (STT), and to investigate its correlation with the history of tobacco consumption.Methods: Nineteen current smokers (11 men, 51 +/- 16 years; BMI 23 +/- 9 kg/m(2), 27 +/- 11 cigarettes per day, 44 +/- 25 pack-years), entering a smoking cessation intervention program, responded to a questionnaire concerning smoking history and were submitted to lung function assessment (spirometry) and the STT test. STT was assessed immediately after smoking and 8 hours after smoking. The STT test was also performed in nineteen matched healthy non-smokers' who served as control group.Results: When compared to STT in non-smokers' (10 +/- 4 min; mean +/- standard deviation), smokers presented similar STT immediately after smoking (11 +/- 6 min; p = 0.87) and slower SIT 8 hours after smoking (16 +/- 6 min; p = 0.005 versus non-smokers' and p = 0.003 versus immediately after smoking). STT 8 hours after smoking correlated positively with age (r = 0.59; p = 0.007), cigarettes per day (r = 0.53; p = 0.02) and pack-years index (r = 0.74; p = 0.0003).Conclusions: In smokers, although the mucociliary clearance immediately after smoking is similar to non-smokers', eight hours after smoking it is reduced, and this reduction is closely related to the smoking habits.

Qualidade de vida, eficiência mastigatória e presença de disfunção temporomandibular em usuários de prótese parcial removível com arco dental curto inferior

Even nowadays there is in Brasil a large number of edentulous and a precarious financial condition of most of the population. In addition, World Health Organization aims for oral health, which consists on the maintenance of a natural dentition, functional and aesthetic composed of at least 20 teeth, without need of prosthetic intervention throughout life. From this and considering the lack of researches about the permanence of edentulous spaces in the oral cavity, and also avoiding overtreatment, this research has been proposed. Thus, the aim was to evaluate the effect of different lengths of the shortened lower dental arch in the presence or absence of a removable partial denture (RPD) on masticatory function, quality of life and occurrence of temporomandibular dysfunction. To achieve this goal, we compared the masticatory efficiency (colorimetric test), the oral comfort through the analysis of the impact of oral health in quality of life (OHIP-14), the presence of temporomandibular dysfunction (RDC/TMD) and the general quality of life (WHOQOL) of patients with shortened dental arches (SDA) (n=60), which is an arch with a reduction of teeth starting posteriorly, and patients with complete dental arch (Complete DA) (n = 34). The group of patients whit SDA was divided among PPR wears (PPD + SDA) (n = 17) and non-wears (n = 43). The population of this study consisted on patients who received or looked for treatment at the clinics of the Department of Dentistry of UFRN, from clinical analysis and records. The sample was chosen by convenience. For statistical analysis, it was a database in SPSS 17.0, followed by descriptive analysis with frequencies, absolute values, tests of central tendency and variability. The statistical tests used were chi-squared and analysis of variance as well as Tukey s post test, when applicable, all with a 95% confidence level. The results shown a prevalence of TMD of 47,1% among patients using PRP and 69,8% among those who didn t, but this result wasn t statistically significant. The mean of the results of masticatory efficiency, WHOQOL and OHIP didn t show association to the presence or absence of PPR and to the lower number of occlusal units of the patients (0, 1, 2 or more occlusal). The association only occurred among the different groups of SDA and the patients with complete dental arch. Taking into account the results, it could be observed that studied patients with low posterior support using lower PRP didn t have better masticatory efficiency, general quality of life, less impacts of their oral conditions in quality of life or not even less temporomandibular dysfunction or better masticatory efficiency when compared to those who didn t use the prosthesis

A memória de curto prazo e a síndrome de down: a relação entre contextos de desenvolvimento

Down syndrome (DS) is one of the most frequent causes of intellectual disability, affecting one in every 600 to 1000 live births. Studies have demonstrated that people with DS have a lower capacity for short-term memory (STM) and working memory (WM), which affects their capability to learn new words and to follow spoken instructions, specially when they involve multiple information or consecutive orders/orientations. It seems that the basis of the learning process, as it happens with language and mathematics comprehension and reasoning, relies in the STM and WM systems. Individuals with DS are increasingly included in mainstream education, and yet, very few researches have been conducted to investigate the influence of memory development and the type of enrollment (regular school and special school). This study investigated the relationship between the type of school enrollment with the performance on STM tests and also, the relationship of this performance with early stimulation (ES). The tests used in the first research were the digit span, free recall, word recognition and subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Third Edition (WISC-III). Individuals enrolled in the regular schools group had higher scores on the digit span test and the subtests of the WISC-III. In the free recall and recognition tests, no differences were found. This study indicates that the type of enrollment might influence the memory development of individuals with DS and clearly points the need for future investigations. In the second research, the tests used were the digit span, free word recall and subtests of the WISC-III. The test results showed better performance by adults that received ES before six months of age. The studies showed improvement in STM both in people who attended or were attending regular school, as well as those who benefited from ES before six months of age. However, some issues still need to be better understood. What is the relation between this stimulation with the individual s education? Since ES may reflect a greater family involvement with the individual, what is the role of emotional components derived from this involvement in the cognitive improvement? These and other questions are part of the continuity of this study
