A Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária e Política Nacional de Medicamentos: um estudo da regulação sanitária de medicamentos no Brasil, com base nas Resoluções da diretoria Colegiada da Anvisa, entre 1999 e 2013.

O estudo analisa a regulação sanitária de medicamentos no Brasil, nos anos 1999 a 2013, exercida pela Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa). Para tanto, foram utilizadas as Resoluções da Diretoria Colegiada (RDC), sob a perspectiva da análise documental. As resoluções expressam as decisões dessa diretoria para fins normativos ou de intervenção e são estratégicas para a regulação sanitária exercida pela Anvisa, pois a partir delas a agência informa à sociedade brasileira (população em geral, Ministério da Saúde, complexo econômico industrial da saúde e indústria farmacêutica) sobre as decisões tomadas no âmbito da regulação sanitária. O objetivo do estudo é analisar, com base nas RDCs editadas pela Anvisa entre 1999 e 2013, o papel da agência na Política Nacional de Medicamentos. Do ponto de vista metodológico, o estudo se fundamenta na análise de documentos oficiais e tem caráter exploratório. A principal conclusão é que a atuação da agência na regulação sanitária de medicamentos se aproximou das diretrizes da Política Nacional de Medicamentos. Assim, apesar dos desafios inerentes ao processo de regulação sanitária para a área de medicamentos, os 15 anos de criação da Anvisa foram decisivos para a implementação dessa política.

Short-termism : challenges and resolutions

The global financial crisis has highlighted the vulnerability of our economy to systemic risks. While its causes are numerous and relate to complex problems deeply embedded in capital markets, ‘short-termism’ (excessive focus on short-term outcomes at the expense of long-term wealth creation and sustainability) has frequently been flagged as a major contributor to this crisis. Although short-termism is not new, the global financial crisis has highlighted the presence of short-termism among institutional investors, and the failure of global markets and regulators to deal with such perverse and destructive behaviour (Guyatt 2009). Solutions are clearly needed. Although there is a body of research that provides evidence of the presence of short-termism in capital markets and the consequences of short-term decision-making on the financial wellbeing of both individuals and organisations, there is no consensus on mitigating solutions to short-termism. What emerges from the literature is the need to take a broad interdisciplinary perspective in seeking solutions to the problem.

A Low Cost Controller Board for Teaching Robotics

This paper presents the Smarty Board; a new micro-controller board designed specifically for the robotics teaching needs of Australian schools. The primary motivation for this work was the lack of commercially available and cheap controller boards that would have all their components including interfaces on a single board. Having a single board simplifies the construction of programmable robots that can be used as platforms for teaching and learning robotics. Reducing the cost of the board as much as possible was one of the main design objectives. The target user groups for this device are the secondary and tertiary students, and hobbyists. Previous studies have shown that equipment cost is one of the major obstacles for teaching robotics in Australia. The new controller board was demonstrated at high-school seminars. In these demonstrations the new controller board was used for controlling two robots that we built. These robots are available as kits. Given the strong demand from high-school teachers, new kits will be developed for the next robotic Olympiad to be held in Australia in 2006.
