TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the satisfação of usuarios with respect to a set of factors, such as equipe, tempo de espera, and estrutura fisica.
Abstract: OBJETIVOS: Avaliar o grau de satisfacao dos usuarios com a estrutura e os servicos prestados em uma unidade basica do Sistema Unico de Saude. METODOS: Este estudo transversal incluiu individuos com idade ≥18 anos, de ambos os generos, entrevistados individualmente de marco a maio de 2018 na unidade basica de saude Ferraria, em Campo Largo, Parana, Brasil. Um questionario estruturado continha informacoes sociodemograficas e questoes adaptadas do instrumento utilizado no Programa Nacional de Avaliacao de Servicos de Saude, acerca da satisfacao com a equipe, tempo de espera e estrutura fisica local. A analise descritiva dos dados foi seguida dos testes U de Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, Qui-quadrado e regressao de Poisson, considerando como significativo p<0,05. RESULTADOS: A amostra foi constituida por 373 usuarios que atenderam aos criterios de inclusao, sendo 72,9% do genero feminino, 82,8% de raca/cor da pele branca, 69,0% com baixa renda e 36,4% com baixa escolaridade. A equipe de saude foi o item melhor avaliado (73,3% das respostas nas categorias "muito bom" e "bom"); e o tempo de espera para o atendimento foi o item pior avaliado (61,5% "ruim" ou "muito ruim"). Na analise bivariada o atendimento da equipe de saude nao foi associado a nenhuma variavel independente. Na avaliacao geral do estabelecimento, as categorias "muito bom/bom", "regular", "ruim" e "muito ruim" foram avaliadas respectivamente por 84 (27,4%), 128 (41,7%), 67 (21,8%) e 28 (9,1%) brancos; e 22 (34,9%), 34 (54,0%), 7 (11,1%) e 0 (0,0%) nao brancos (p=0,006). No modelo de regressao de Poisson, a baixa escolaridade foi associada a uma chance 1,5 vezes maior de nao saber onde reclamar em caso de mau atendimento. CONCLUSOES: O grau de satisfacao dos usuarios da unidade basica de saude Ferraria foi influenciado por fatores como raca/cor da pele e escolaridade. Os usuarios nao brancos expressaram um grau de satisfacao maior do que os usuarios brancos; e aqueles com baixa escolaridade sabiam menos onde reclamar caso o atendimento nao fosse satisfatorio. Apesar da avaliacao em geral ter sido positiva, alguns quesitos foram identificados como nao satisfatorios, merecendo medidas corretivas.

TL;DR: A presente pesquisa investigated as diferencas do perfil economico financeiro entre empresas participantes and nao participantes do ISE (Indice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial) na BM&FBovespa as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A adesao a indicadores de sustentabilidade e uma forma de a empresa demonstrar sua preocupacao com a adequacao dos meios de producao as questoes sociais e ambientais. Neste contexto, a presente pesquisa investiga as diferencas do perfil economico financeiro entre empresas participantes e nao participantes do ISE (Indice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial) na BM&FBovespa. A amostra e composta por 29 empresas dos setores economicos: materiais basicos, bens industriais e consumos nao ciclico. Desenvolveram-se comparacoes para evidenciar diferencas e semelhancas quanto a valorizacao/desvalorizacao do preco das acoes da companhia no mercado, indicadores financeiros e valores apresentados nas demonstracoes contabeis. Empregou-se o metodo estatistico de Mann-Whitney. Os resultados indicam que ha diferenca entre os grupos no porte e no volume financeiro movimentado pelas organizacoes. Entretanto, nao ha diferenca quando analisados a mudanca estrutural, considerando a evolucao de um exercicio para o seguinte, e resultados de indicadores.

TL;DR: A simple fitting model using a simulated annealing technique, testing it with the South Korea data and analyzing the trends in the confirmed cases for the five most affected countries plus Brazil along several epidemic weeks is proposed.
Abstract: An epidemic curve is a graphic depiction of the number of outbreak cases by date of illness onset, ordinarily constructed after the disease outbreak is over. However, a good estimate of the epidemic curve early in an outbreak would be invaluable to health care officials. On the other hand, from the end of February, the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Brazil seems to not follow the Europe, or in particular, Italy or Spain. Even if less tests have been applied, there are less deaths occurring in Brazil than in both cited countries. However, since few tests were applied, there is no certain planning on the real number of active cases. To estimate the number of future cases, epidemiologists make an educated guess as to how many people might become affected. We have proposed a simple fitting model using a simulated annealing technique, testing it with the South Korea data. We have tested and discussed the uncertainties of the model. We also have analyzed the trends in the confirmed cases using this model for the five most affected countries plus Brazil along several epidemic weeks.

TL;DR: The development of an educational game for mobile devices aiming to aid small children in the process of literacy, making it playful and engaging, trying at the same time to entertain and to teach, keeping students motivated and, in best cases, leading them to study on their own.
Abstract: Electronic games have an important role in contemporary society, affecting it economically, socially and culturally. With a huge market, a proportional number of games, in all flavors, have been offered for all ages, especially for kids, who are patently fond of them. Observing this fact, researchers and teachers realized that games might develop cognitive abilities that formal study could not. Taking advantage of this situation, this paper proposes and presents the development of an educational game for mobile devices aiming to aid small children in the process of literacy, making it playful and engaging, trying at the same time to entertain and to teach, keeping students motivated and, in best cases, leading them to study on their own. The game is composed by several activities involving the alphabet. The activities vary from games that order the alphabet, connect an image to a certain character letter, complete words and unscramble words. There is also a trophy room, in which the student may check the trophies collected during the activities to follow their development.

TL;DR: Bovine xenogenic biomaterials positively influenced SHEDs, while the BP group seemed to present higher potential withSHEDs for future application within in vivo and/or clinical studies.
Abstract: Aim: In vitro evaluation of the influence of bovine xenogenic biomaterials on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs). The study was divided into three groups: 1) group C (control), containing only MSCs; 2) group BP, containing MSCs and Bonefill Porous®; 3) group BO, containing MSCs and Bio-Oss®. MSCs were derived from a deciduous tooth from a 7-year-old male donor. An aliquot of cells was subjected to immunophenotyping by flow cytometry. Cell viability (neutral red), cytotoxicity (MTT), and cell proliferation (crystal violet) assays were performed. All groups underwent morphological analysis by light microscopy (LM), and the biomaterial with superior performance was submitted to evaluation by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Time points of 24, 48, and 72 h of culture were used. All results were evaluated with a significance level of 0.05. Results showed that both biomaterials maintained cell viability and cytotoxicity similar to the control. The BO group showed smaller cell proliferation compared to the other groups. In LM evaluation, the BP group showed more spread and adherent cells than the BO group. In SEM, cells of the BP group showed characteristics of more active cells than those of the control. Bovine xenogenic biomaterials positively influenced SHEDs, while the BP group seemed to present higher potential with SHEDs for future application within in vivo and/or clinical studies.
