Dermatoses in the early neonatal period: their association with neonatal, obstetric and demographic variables.

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of neonatal dermatoses in the early neonatal period and to associate them with neonatal, demographic and obstetric variables. Methods: A cross-sectional study with neonates and their respective mothers, who were hospitalized in a public maternity hospital in Curitiba, PR, Brazil. Data collection was performed using information present in the medical records and a physical examination of the newborn during the period between April 2015 and May 2016. Results: 350 neonates were evaluated. 54.8% were male, and 94.8% (332/350) presented a dermatosis. Among them, 84.6% had, concomitantly, two or more dermatoses. A total of 23 types of dermatoses were diagnosed. The most prevalent were: sebaceous hyperplasia (66%); fluff (42.6%); and salmon patches (41.4%). The mean age of the mothers was 24.9±4.9 years old, and they were predominately white (57.7%). Vernix caseosa was associated with the female gender (p=0.034). Nonwhite mothers were associated with genital hyperpigmentation (p=0.03) and Mongolian spots (p=0.001). Physiological flaking was associated with cesarean deliveries (p=0.03) and a gestational age of over 40 weeks (p=0.054). Salmon patches was associated with primiparity (p=0.0001). Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of neonatal dermatosis in the studied population. Each newborn had, on average, three different dermatoses. Dermatosis in neonates was associated with primiparity, nonwhites, a gestational age of over 40 weeks, and the sex of the newborn.

Lógicas Institucionais e Formação da Governança de Recursos Hídricos: Análise do Caso Brasileiro

Abstract: Este artigo analisa a influencia das logicas institucionais de Comunidade, Mercado e Estado na estruturacao da governanca de recursos hidricos no Brasil. A luz do institucionalismo sociologico, foco e dado ao sistema de recursos hidricos, entendido como campo organizacional, e a interferencia de logicas institucionais societarias na configuracao de quadros de referencias locais para o comportamento dos atores sociais. Por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e analise documental, foram coletados dados sobre a codificacao de significados e normas no arranjo de logicas locais que, manifestadas na forma de diretrizes e praticas, influenciaram a estruturacao da governanca de recursos hidricos. O estudo e de natureza descritivo-qualitativa e abrangeu tres decadas a contar da primeira conferencia mundial sobre gestao de recursos hidricos em 1977. Os resultados evidenciaram que a consistencia institucional, no contexto de regulacao brasileiro, apresentou ambiguidade legal e homogeneidade entre legislacoes federal e estaduais. Entretanto, constatou-se que o modelo, centralizado no nivel federativo, favorece o formalismo e provoca dificuldades na implementacao da proposta integradora e participativa de gestao entre os Estados. Os resultados tambem apontaram que configuracoes de logicas institucionais societais, ao nivel do campo, interagiram com principios locais, explicando em grande medida a variacao nos modelos de governanca. Como conclusao, duas proposicoes analiticas sao apresentadas: (i) pressoes isomorficas em nivel mundial, sob influencia dos arranjos de logicas institucionais em nivel societal, tendem a provocar heterogeneidade das estruturas de governanca; (ii) logicas institucionais em nivel societal permeiam o campo organizacional, configurando ordens locais e moldando o discurso e identidade dos atores sociais.

The empirical findings suggest that innovation is the result of interaction between managerial competencies and routines and processes.

Uma análise espacial do índice de desenvolvimento municipal da micro e pequena empresa (idmpe) do paraná

Abstract: O Indice de Desenvolvimento Municipal da Micro e Pequena Empresa (IDMPE) foi elaborado para orientar as estrategias e politicas de desenvolvimento local, no âmbito da Lei Geral da Micro e Pequena Empresa. Trata-se de indice sintetico que serve ao diagnostico das condicoes empresariais, mercadologicas e institucionais de cada municipio para favorecer o surgimento e consolidacao de pequenos negocios. Este artigo procura, atraves da analise exploratoria dos dados espaciais (AEDE), detectar e entender as interacoes espaciais presentes no IDMPE do Parana. Utilizou-se como base de dados os indicadores e indices geral e parciais tratados para os municipios paranaenses nos anos de 2008 e 2009. Os resultados da analise espacial sugerem a presenca de auto correlacao espacial, indicando a presenca de clusters. Tais analises permitem inferir que o desempenho do IDMPE tem uma forte influencia de vizinhanca, ampliando a abordagem das politicas locais/municipais para acoes de desenvolvimento coordenadas no âmbito regional.
