Intensifying insulin regimen after basal insulin optimization in adults with type 2 diabetes: a 24-week, randomized, open-label trial comparing insulin glargine plus insulin glulisine with biphasic insulin aspart (LanScape)

AIM: To test the hypothesis that a 'basal plus' regimenadding once-daily main-meal fast-acting insulin to basal insulin once dailywould be non-inferior to biphasic insulin twice daily as assessed by glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) concentration (predefined as ≤0.4%), but would provide superior treatment satisfaction. METHODS: This open-label trial enrolled adults to an 8- or 12-week run-in period, during which oral therapies except metformin were stopped and insulin glargine dose was titrated. Those with fasting glucose <7 mmol/l but HbA1c >7% (53 mmol/mol) were randomized to insulin glargine/glulisine once daily (n = 170) or insulin aspart/aspart protamine 30/70 twice daily (n = 165) for 24 weeks, with dose titration to glucose targets using standardized algorithms. RESULTS: For HbA1c, the basal plus regimen was non-inferior to biphasic insulin (least squares mean difference, 0.21%, upper 97.5% confidence limit 0.38%) meeting the predefined non-inferiority margin of 0.4%. Treatment satisfaction (Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire change version and Insulin Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire total scores) significantly favoured basal plus. No difference was observed between the basal plus and the biphasic insulin groups in responders (HbA1c <7%, 20.6 vs 27.9%; p = 0.12), weight gain (2.06 vs 2.50 kg; p = 0.2), diabetes-specific quality of life (Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life average weighted impact (AWI) score) and generic health status (five-dimension European Quality of Life questionnaire). Overall hypoglycaemia rates were similar between groups (15.3 vs 18.2 events/patient-year; p = 0.22); nocturnal hypoglycaemia was higher with the basal plus regimen (5.7 vs 3.6 events/patient-year; p = 0.02). CONCLUSION: In long-standing type 2 diabetes with suboptimal glycaemia despite oral therapies and basal insulin, the basal plus regimen was non-inferior to biphasic insulin for biomedical outcomes, with a similar overall hypoglycaemia rate but more nocturnal events.

O investimento em ativos florestais : o caso norte-americano e o desenvolvimento desta classe de ativos no Brasil

Este trabalho explora a solução do problema de sub-investimento em novos plantios florestais no Brasil, por meio de empresas especializadas na gestão de ativos florestais. Com a redução dos novos plantios e a crescente demanda por produtos da indústria de base florestal, a oferta de madeira no país deve tornar-se insuficiente para atender a demanda no mercado interno. Programas governamentais de subsídio de crédito e programas privados de fomento florestal visam atrair novos participantes para o negócio das florestas plantadas, porém, essas iniciativas são insuficientes. Este trabalho explora a alternativa de organizar-se o investimento e a gestão dos ativos florestais por meio de empresas especializadas nesta função econômica. No caso dos EUA, vem crescendo a participação dos ativos florestais administrados por empresas organizadas na forma de TIMOs ou Timber REITs, que adquirem grandes áreas de florestas com os recursos de investidores institucionais. Estes investidores são atraídos pelo histórico de retorno desses investimentos e seu potencial para diversificação de carteiras. No Brasil, esses veículos devem ser adequados às necessidades do setor florestal brasileiro, caracterizado pela concentração da propriedade das florestas plantadas nas mãos de grandes empresas integradas, cuja grande parte da produção de madeira é destinada ao consumo próprio. Neste trabalho procurou-se sugerir a securitização de recebíveis florestais como alternativa para a criação desses veículos de investimento no Brasil. Esta alternativa poderia atender os interesses das empresas de base florestal, dos investidores institucionais, fundos de private equity e outros. São estudados casos desta operação na Europa e EUA. Para as empresas integradas, a securitização e a gestão independente das florestas permitiram a liberação de recursos para investimento em seus core businesses e contribuíram para a redução do custo de capital.

Um estudo sobre as origens da Lógica Matemáitca

The present study has as objective to explaining about the origins of the mathematical logic. This has its beginning attributed to the autodidactic English mathematician George Boole (1815-1864), especially because his books The Mathematical Analysis of Logic (1847) and An Investigation of the Laws of Thought (1854) are recognized as the inaugural works of the referred branch. However, surprisingly, in the same time another mathematician called Augutus of Morgan (1806-1871) it also published a book, entitled Formal Logic (1847), in defense of the mathematic logic. Even so, times later on this same century, another work named Elements of Logic (1875) it appeared evidencing the Aristotelian logic with Richard Whately (1787-1863), considered the better Aristotelian logical of that time. This way, our research, permeated by the history of the mathematics, it intends to study the logic produced by these submerged personages in the golden age of the mathematics (19th century) to we compare the valid systems in referred period and we clarify the origins of the mathematical logic. For that we looked for to delineate the panorama historical wrapper of this study. We described, shortly, biographical considerations about these three representatives of the logic of the 19th century formed an alliance with the exhibition of their point of view as for the logic to the light of the works mentioned above. In this sense, we aspirated to present considerations about what effective Aristotelian´s logic existed in the period of Boole and De Morgan comparing it with the new emerging logic (the mathematical logic). Besides of this, before the textual analysis of the works mentioned above, we still looked for to confront the systems of Boole and De Morgan for we arrive to the reason because the Boole´s system was considered better and more efficient. Separate of this preponderance we longed to study the flaws verified in the logical system of Boole front to their contemporaries' production, verifying, for example, if they repeated or not. We concluded that the origins of the mathematical logic is in the works of logic of George Boole, because, in them, has the presentation of a new logic, matematizada for the laws of the thought similar to the one of the arithmetic, while De Morgan, in your work, expand the Aristotelian logic, but it was still arrested to her
