A gestão para resultados (GpR) tem adquirido importância crescente nos municípios brasileiros, assumindo diferentes funções no interior das organizações públicas. No entanto, implementação de sistemas de GpR no setor público pode vir acompanhada de novos problemas oriundos da complexidade da mensuração de resultados em ambientes expostos ao escrutínio social e político. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar de forma crítica os sistemas de GpR implantados nas prefeituras de Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo, visando a estabelecer, com base na teoria, conexões entre as diferentes funções exercidas pelos sistemas de GpR e as disfunções vivenciadas pelos gestores públicos no cotidiano. Para tanto, foram mapeadas, com base na teoria, as diferentes funções desempenhadas pelos sistemas de GpR e separadas em três macrocategorias: desempenho, governança e política. A partir dessa categorização, foram delimitadas as possíveis disfunções da GpR relacionadas com as intersecções dessas diferentes macrocategorias. Com base nas categorias teóricas estabelecidas, foram coletados dados sobre a GpR nas duas prefeituras, com destaque para a entrevista de 12 gestores e 3 representantes da sociedade civil. Os achados de pesquisa permitiram demonstrar que a Prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro implementou um sistema de GpR voltado principalmente para a melhoria do desempenho, ao passo que São Paulo focou nas funções relacionadas à macrocategoria da governança. Em relação às disfunções, o Rio de Janeiro apresentou indícios de definição tecnocrátia das metas e gaming interno, ao passo que a Prefeitura de São Paulo esteve marcada por gaming externo, miopia e lock-in. Os resultados permitiram identificar ainda outras variáveis relevantes para o estudo das disfunções da GpR, como a cultura política, o envolvimento do prefeito no sistema, a entrada na agenda do tema da GpR, o grau de institucionalização do sistema de GpR. Os resultados demonstram que as diferentes funções assumidas por esses sistemas estão correlacionadas com as disfunções. O capítulo final explora essas possibilidades de correlações.

Esse artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa realizada na região amazônica, a qual tem por objetivo estudar a valorização de frutas tropicais pela agricultura familiar, e dentre estes apresenta o açaí (Euterpea oleracea mart.), um fruto de alto consumo na região norte do país, principalmente no Estado do Pará, que é o maior produtor e consumidor dessa fruta no Brasil. Indica formas de melhor apropriação por parte dos agricultores na venda de sua produção. Sugere a agregação de valor a esse fruto, através de um processo de beneficiamento a ser desenvolvido a partir de uma cooperativa de agricultores organizados. Desenvolve a análise a partir da expansão do uso do suco desse fruto em outras regiões do Brasil, especificamente na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, a qual já vem apresentando aumento significativo de consumo nos últimos seis anos.

Objective: To describe the epidemiological aspects of childhood tuberculosis (TB) in a Brazilian reference hospital. Methods: This was a retrospective study (1999-2008) of 473 subjects (0-14 year olds) with confirmed TB, or with clinical improvement by the fourth month of treatment under the unit's care, including the review of medical records, monitoring reports and notifications by the TB unit. Results: Among 473 TB cases included in the study, positive tuberculin skin test was observed in 52%, history of contact with a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis in 66%, mostly intra-household, and with the father/stepfather most commonly involved; and disseminated TB in 22%. The result of HIV testing was obtained in 265 (56%) cases, being positive in 45 (17%). The diagnosis of TB was confirmed in 31% of cases, most frequently in children older than 5 years, with negative tuberculin skin test, and in disseminated forms. Of the 65 cultures positive for TB performed in the study, drug sensitivity testing to anti-TB drugs was done in 30 (46%) clinical samples, among which 10 (33%) were resistant to one or more anti-TB drugs, and 2 (0.8%) were multi-drug-resistant. Among patients with confirmed pulmonary TB, 31% did not meet the criteria for starting anti-TB treatment according to the scores of the Ministry of Health (<= 25 points). Conclusion: The high proportion of drug-resistant TB and co-infection with HIV identified in this study highlight the necessity to carry out additional studies in order to evaluate the impact of TB control activities on childhood TB.

Identification, prediction, and control of a system are engineering subjects, regardless of the nature of the system. Here, the temporal evolution of the number of individuals with dengue fever weekly recorded in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during 2007, is used to identify SIS (susceptible-infective-susceptible) and SIR (susceptible-infective-removed) models formulated in terms of cellular automaton (CA). In the identification process, a genetic algorithm (GA) is utilized to find the probabilities of the state transition S -> I able of reproducing in the CA lattice the historical series of 2007. These probabilities depend on the number of infective neighbors. Time-varying and non-time-varying probabilities, three different sizes of lattices, and two kinds of coupling topology among the cells are taken into consideration. Then, these epidemiological models built by combining CA and GA are employed for predicting the cases of sick persons in 2008. Such models can be useful for forecasting and controlling the spreading of this infectious disease.

Laboratorial studies were carried out on 3178 patients with signs and symptoms suggestive of dengue infection from April 1986 to December 1987 in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The epidemic had two peaks following the first virus isolation and affected the inhabitants of 17 counties. Both sex and all age groups were affected. Dengue virus type 1 was isolated from 1039 sera and the number of confirmed cases was increased to 1874 (59%) by MAC-ELISA. Isolation rate confirmed cases reached 80% in the specimens obtained until the 4th day after the onset of disease and viraemia ranged from 10 3.0 to 10(8.5) TCID50/ml.

A seroepidemiologic survey was carried out in schoolchildren from public schools of the Niterói municipality, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after a period of sequential epidemics by dengue virus type 1 and 2 (DEN-1 and DEN-2). 450 blood samples were obtained by fingertip puncture and collected on filter paper discs. The hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) test was carried out using DEN-1 and DEN-2 antigens. HAI titres were demonstrated in 66% (297/450) of the sera and the geometric means of the titres were 1/182 and 1/71 for DEN-1 and DEN-2, respectively. Secondary infections were observed in 61% (181/297) of positive cases. Among these, 75% (135/181) were under fifteen years old. No dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) was reported in these children. Asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic infections were detected in 56% of the studied population. The absolute and relative frequencies of positive tests by age group and sex did not evidence statistically significant difference. The number of individuals infected probably produced a immunologic barrier responsible for the non occurrence of dengue epidemic in the latter years.

Cryptococcosis has been a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with Aids. Many reservoirs of the agent Cryptococcus neoformans have been reported, but the ecology of this yeast must be elucidated in order to establish surveillance programs and to prevent infections. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of C. neoformans in Rio de Janeiro City, RJ, Brazil. Ten churches were selected for sampling and detection of the yeast collecting pigeon dropping, air samples from church towers and neighboring areas during one year. The data demonstrated that C. neoformans has been present in every church selected and was present in 37.8% of 219 pigeon dropping samples. As well as, the yeast was isolated from soil, insects, eggs, pigeon nests and feathers. Fifteen air samples (4.9%) were positive. The growth on C.G.B. medium showed that all strains belonged to C. neoformans var. neoformans, with 98.8% of the strains belonging to serotype A.
