TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the Brazilian managers' attitudes toward older workers and how those attitudes explain HRM decisions in hypothetical scenarios, and found that a significant number of managers chose a younger worker even when the older worker was described as more productive.
Abstract: Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore the Brazilian managers’ attitudes toward older workers, and how those attitudes explain HRM decisions in hypothetical scenarios.
Design/methodology/approach
Brazilian managers (n=201) reported their attitudes toward older workers and their decisions in scenarios involving an older vs a younger applicant/worker.
Findings
In spite of expressing positive attitudes toward older workers, a significant number of managers chose a younger one even when the older worker is described as more productive. To build a better understanding of how attitudes predict decisions, it is necessary to identify attitudinal profiles and the interplay between attitudinal dimensions, rather than simply studying each dimension separately. Attitudinal profiling also shows that some managers discriminate against younger workers, a finding, that is, ignored when (only) regressions are taken into account. The managers’ attitudes and behavioral intentions relate with their age. Evidence does not support the double jeopardy effect against older women workers.
Research limitations/implications
The sample is small. The scenarios cover a reduced number of HRM decisions. The data about attitudes and decisions were collected simultaneously from a single source. The findings may be influenced by idiosyncrasies of the context. Future studies should also consider real situations, not hypothetical ones.
Practical implications
Efforts must be made (e.g. via training and development) to raise managers’ awareness about the consequences of ageism in organizations.
Originality/value
Empirical studies about managers’ perceptions/attitudes toward older workers are scarce. Studies in the Brazilian context are even scarcer.

TL;DR: The present study reviews literature using MEDLINE, Ovid, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases to determine the concept of prehabilitation program and the indications and means of patient selection for it, as well as to suggest ways to implement this program in cases of major abdominal surgeries.
Abstract: RESUMO Varias doencas da cavidade abdominal tem, na abordagem cirurgica, sua principal forma de tratamento. Entretanto, o proprio procedimento cirurgico e um agente estressor que pode promover efeitos adversos nao relacionados com o objetivo do tratamento. A pre-habilitacao emergiu como um programa multifatorial de condicionamento de saude pre-operatorio, que promove melhora na capacidade funcional e na evolucao pos-operatoria. O presente estudo faz uma revisao da literatura usando os bancos de dado MEDLINE, Ovid, Google Scholar e Cochrane para determinar o conceito, as indicacoes, os meios de selecao dos pacientes, e para sugerir as formas de implementacao do programa de pre-habilitacao em cirurgias abdominais de grande porte.

TL;DR: The treatment of children presenting dental trauma in the primary dentition requires a different approach from that used in the permanent dentition, because it is necessary to consider the underlying cause of the injury rather than the location of the injuries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse the caracteristicas das publicacoes relacionadas aos temas Inovacao e Modelos de Negocios.
Abstract: Este artigo analisa as caracteristicas das publicacoes relacionadas aos temas Inovacao e Modelos de Negocios. A pesquisa foi realizada na base de dados Web of Science da ISI Web of Knowledge, procurando identificar as principais areas tematicas, os autores, os tipos de documentos, o titulo das fontes, o ano das publicacoes, as instituicoes, os idiomas e paises destas publicacoes, assim como a identificacao dos “hot topics” relacionados ao topico “Innovation and Business Models” e relacionou as publicacoes mais citadas com os autores que mais publicam sobre a tematica pesquisada. A analise dos dados teve por base os calculos dos indices h-b e m. De acordo com os resultados deste estudo, o numero de publicacoes cresceu de forma significativa no periodo analisado, concentrando-se nos Estados Unidos, com 97% das publicacoes escritas no idioma ingles, e tendo como principal fonte o periodico WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment. Dentre os 20 topicos combinados com os temas pesquisados, os temas Mercado, Gestao, Estrategia, P&D e Industria apresentaram indice m ≥ 2, podendo, entao, ser classificados como topicos exclusivos com alcance nao apenas na sua propria area de pesquisa. Constatou-se ainda que as dez publicacoes com o maior numero de citacoes, sendo uma referencia na tematica pesquisada, nao pertencem aos autores que mais publicam sobre o tema.
