Aplicação dos impostos em serviços de saúde e a política eleitoral nos municípios brasileiros

Objective: To assess the effects of electoral politics on taxation in health care services in the Brazilian municipalities. Methods: This is a descriptive study that used quantitative methods through multiple regression with panel data. The sample consisted of 3.566 Brazilian municipalities and data were collected on the Public Health Budget Information System (Sistema de Informacoes sobre Orcamentos Publicos em Saude – SIOPS) of the Ministry of Health, on the website of Brazil Finances (Financas do Brasil – FINBRA) of the National Treasury Secretariat, on the repository of the Electoral Higher Court and on the censuses and estimates of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics during the period from 2005 to 2016. The electoral politics was analyzed in terms of: (i) electoral competition; (ii) party alignment between mayor, governor and president; and (iii) reelection. Results: The results show that the party alignment of the mayor with the governor influences positively (p=0.056), while that with the president influences negatively (p=0.00), the taxation in health care services, respectively. The mayor’s reelection mandate (p=0.00) and the electoral competition in the run for mayor do not influence taxation in health care services. With regard to geographical location, the Northern municipalities exhibit the lowest percentages of taxation in health care services followed – in an ascending order – by the South, Northeast, Midwest and Southeast regions. Conclusion: Party and political alignment and reelection influence municipal taxation in health care services in the analyzed sample while electoral competition has no effect.
Cardiovascular implantable electronic device-related tricuspid regurgitation: a multidisciplinary team approach

A 46-year-old male with a history of non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, dual-chamber ICD, persistent atrial fibrillation, and end-stage renal disease was transferred to our institution for atrioventricular node ablation as well as cardiac resynchronization therapy device upgrade. Both procedures were performed uneventfully. However, in the post-operative period, the patient experienced anasarca and congestive hepatopathy requiring ICU admission. A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) was obtained which showed severe TR with obstruction of the posterior and septal leaflets by the ICD lead and lead entrapment into the sub-valvular apparatus, as well as right ventricular systolic dysfunction with tricuspid valve annular dilation measuring at least 4.4 cm (Figure 1).
Investigation on magneto-thermal-structural coupled field effect of nano coated 230 kV busbar

The coupled field, Magnetic-thermal-structural analysis has been carried out for 230 kV bare and nano Fe coated busbar. The integrated coupled field analytical equations were developed by using electrical parameters to predetermine the temperature rise and mechanical stress. The finite element method software ANSYS APDL commercial package has been used for simulation analysis with magneto-thermal-structural sequential weak coupling methods. The 6061-T6 hollow aluminium busbar size of 1 m length and 8 mm thickness with the load current of 1000 A was modelled and the magnetic field effect was analysed through magnetostatic solver. From the analysis, it was inferred that the nano iron coated busbar diminishes the magnetic field around 80% in the vicinity areas. The magnetic field reduction is achieved by high conductivity and high permeability of the material. It also reduces the rise of temperature by 4 °C with the property of high thermal conductivity, thus reduces the thermal flux by 50 W m−2. Thermal dependent mechanical stress is decreased by 35% for coated conductor compare with the bare conductor. Due to the thermal expansion coefficient, the coated material aid to protect the busbar against the mechanical stress. The simulation results were analyzed and compared with the analytical results. The nano coated conductor exhibit the low electromagnetic pollution in the environment by reducing the electromagnetic field and temperature rise.
Pengaruh suplementasi serat Psyllium husk dan diet rendah kalori seimbang terhadap berat badan, kadar kolesterol high-density lipoprotein, dan trigliserida serum pada obes I

Background: The increased prevalence of obesity will bring a great impact in the health sector, due to the effect of the influence of organ in the body such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Reduced energy diet and exercise are effective for management weight loss. During the restriction diet, an obese person should increase the amount of dietary fiber up to 20−35 g/day, specifically of soluble fiber, to more effective fat loss and improve serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglyceride (TG) cholesterol concentration. Psyllium husk (PH) is a source of natural soluble fiber obtained from Plantago ovate Forssk seed. Objective: The aim of the study have investigated the change of body weight, serum HDL cholesterol, and TG concentration in obese I after supplemented PH 8.4 g/day and balanced deficit calories diet (BDCD) for 4 weeks. Method: The survey used double-blind randomized clinical trial with parallel design. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups; treatment (T) group and placebo (P) group. The T subjects received psyllium husk (PH) 8.4 g/day and BDCD 1200 kcal/day and the P subjects received placebo and BDCD 1200 kcal/day. The analyzed used independent t-test and Mann-Whitney. Results: A total 28 subjects (14 subjects in each group) had completed the intervention. There were no serious adverse effects reported during the intervention. Intake of dietary fiber in T group was 17.2 ± 2.8 g/day had significantly higher than P group 8.6 (5.2−15.2) g/day, although supplemented with PH didn’t meet the recommendation of fiber intake (20-35 g/day). Decrease of body weight was -1,8 ± 0,8 kg and triglyceride level was -1,5 (-416−77) in T group that statistically insignificant difference (p=0,39 and p=0,84) with P group -1,6 ± 0,9 kg and -10,0 ± 31,3. Soluble supplementation (P group) increased serum HDL cholesterol concentration was 0,0 ± 4,3 mg/dL that statistically insignificant difference (p=0,86) with T group -0,4 ± 5,9. Conclusion: PH supplementation 8.4 g/day and BDCD 1200 kcal/day in obese I can not reduce body weight, serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride concentration level in 4 weeks.

The purpose of this exploratory research is to analyse the contents taught in undergraduate entrepreneurship programs. A total of 220 undergraduate programs were selected from the all around the world offering Entrepreneurship undergraduate programs (including BBA, BA, BS, B.Sc) in English language. Data was collected from official websites of the respective institutions. 48 programs were excluded from further processing and 164 programs were finalised for further processing. This paper recommends many improvement in Entrepreneurship curriculum and development which includes (a) need for change of mind-set from ‘Corporate success’ to ‘Entrepreneurial Success’; (b) need for separate accreditation system of Entrepreneurship programs; (c) need for ‘School of Entrepreneurship’ or ‘College of Entrepreneurship’ separate from ‘Business School’; (d) Need to establish and follow a new standardized name of the degree titled as ‘Bachelors of Entrepreneurship’ with abbreviation ‘B.Ent. ’; (e) need for linking Entrepreneurship curriculum with Entrepreneurial eco-systems rather than linking it with job placement services; and (f) need for customization of existing Entrepreneurship curriculum for the specific needs for future entrepreneurs.
Construction of high dynamic range image based on gradient information transformation

This study proposes a fusion method for high dynamic range images based on gradient information transformation. In the proposed work, the authors first measure the three exposure weights of the source images, namely, local contrast, luminance and spatial structure. Then, the exposure weights are merged through a multi-scale Laplacian pyramid scheme. For the weight maps measurement, the dense scale-invariant feature transform method is used to calculate the local contrast around each pixel location, rather than a single pixel. The image luminance levels are computed in the gradient domain to get more visual information and the authors leverage the dictionary learning to effectively extract the luminance of images. Additionally, to better preserve the spatial structure of the source images, the just-noticeable-distortion technique is employed. By comparing the experimental results both subjectively and objectively, it is evident that the proposed method represents an improvement over some exciting methods.

Physics of nanoscale immiscible fluid displacement

We investigate immiscible ﬂuid displacement at small scales where slip lengths are on the order of characteristic system sizes, whereby Cox’s law is not expected to be valid. Molecular dynamics simulations show that in this limit hydrodynamic bending becomes small and interfaces remain approximately spherical. In this case the only relevant angle for describing the interface shape is the dynamic microscopic angle at the ﬂuid-solid interface. In our simulations, this angle is found to be described well by the molecular-kinetic theory originally proposed by Blake and Haynes. In general, this implies a different functional dependence between the contact angle (and related quantities) and the ﬂow speed (or capillary number); this is demonstrated for the case of the force on the boundary for immiscible ﬂuid displacement in a two-dimensional channel.

Dietary Polyphenolics Supplementation with Drinking Black Tea Ameliorates Gentamicin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Mice

Black tea (Camellia sinensis) supplement on renal disorders has poorly been explored. The present study was aimed to identified essential polyphenols present in black tea and it’s the role in gentamicin (GEN) induced nephrotoxicity in mice. The polyphenols present in 2.5% black tea infusion (BT) was determined by HPLC and antioxidant activity was assessed by DPPH radical scavenging. The renoprotective role of BT (125 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg orally for 7 days) was assessed in GEN (80 mg/kg, i.p, daily for 7 days) induced mice. BUN and creatinine was estimated in blood and lipid peroxides, glutathione, catalase and protein was determined in renal tissues. Ten polyphenols including catechin, caffeic acid, rutin, sinapic acid, ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, myricetin, gallic acid, quercetin and kaempferol were identified and quantified in BT by HPLC. Moreover, it also exhibited powerful DPPH radical scavenging property (IC50 74.75µg/mg black tea). Finally, BT not only significantly and dose dependently (p less than 0.05) lowered BUN and creatinine in blood and reduced lipid peroxides in kidney, but also eventually enhanced the cellular antioxidants, glutathione and catalase in renal tissues. Therefore, black tea could be a good source of polyphenols that may protect kidneys from gentamicin induced oxidative stress.
Evaluating malaria interventions in Africa: a review and assessment of recent research.

This paper reviews the literature of malaria intervention studies in Africa over the last 10 years and assesses the evaluations of those interventions. Five types of malaria intervention studies were found: 1) vector control evaluation studies 2) vaccine trial evaluation studies 3) case management evaluation studies 4) diagnostic evaluation studies and 5) cost-effectiveness evaluation studies. Identification of evaluation studies using methodological criteria included outcomes measured at the community level use of experimental quasi-experimental or pre/post-intervention evaluation and a minimum size of 100. The review revealed four major findings: 1) lack of standardized indicators; 2) effect of inadequate standardized indicators in the evaluation of malaria programs and interventions; 3) paucity of synergistic effect of using more than one type of intervention; and 4) difficulty of generalizing study results. In addition a randomized controlled clinical trial was the preferred malaria intervention design. Overall continued research and development of a more systematic evaluation protocol are necessary for the implementation of effective large-scale programs to control malaria at the national and subnational level in a wide variety of locations.
Role of Chemistry in Implementation the Sustainable Development Goals

What is the sustainable development? It’s a very important question to be addressed in our minds. The most noticeable definition of SD was presented by the "World Commission on the Environment and Development" in 1987 . It says that “SD is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. ” It implies that SD is a composite concept. The needs of future generations, and the abilities required to meet them, are not clear nowadays. Another issue is that the needs of each generation are very heterogeneous and dependent on numerous factors. This difficulty is a clear problem to companies and individuals in their efforts in being sustainable.
Risk of the Least Squares Minimum Norm Estimator under the Spike Covariance Model

We study risk of the minimum norm linear least squares estimator in when the number of parameters $d$ depends on $n$, and $\frac{d}{n} \rightarrow \infty$. We assume that data has an underlying low rank structure by restricting ourselves to spike covariance matrices, where a fixed finite number of eigenvalues grow with $n$ and are much larger than the rest of the eigenvalues, which are (asymptotically) in the same order. We show that in this setting risk of minimum norm least squares estimator vanishes in compare to risk of the null estimator. We give asymptotic and non asymptotic upper bounds for this risk, and also leverage the assumption of spike model to give an analysis of the bias that leads to tighter bounds in compare to previous works.

Intramembrane protease RHBDL4 interacts with erlin complex to target unstable soluble proteins for degradation

Protein degradation is fundamentally important to ensure cell homeostasis. In the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway targets incorrectly folded and unassembled proteins into the cytoplasm for turnover by the proteasome. In contrast, lysosomal degradation serves as failsafe mechanism for removal of proteins that resist ERAD by forming aggregates. In previous work, we showed that the ER-resident rhomboid protease RHBDL4, together with p97, mediates membrane protein degradation. However, whether RHBDL4 acts in concert with additional ERAD components is unclear and its full substrate spectrum remains to be defined. Here, we show that besides membrane proteins, RHBDL4 cleaves aggregation-prone, luminal ERAD substrates including a soluble version of the major histocompatibility complex heavy chain (MHC202). RHBDL4’s interaction with erlin ERAD substrate receptors and reciprocal interaction of MHC202 with erlins suggest that RHBDL4 defines a substrate clipping mechanism that rescues aggregation-prone peptides in the ER lumen from terminal aggregation. Abbreviations ER, endoplasmic reticulum; ERAD, ER-associated degradation; MHC, major histocompatibility complex; TM, transmembrane; UPR, unfolded protein response.
A Comprehensive Peach Fruit Quality Evaluation Method for Grading and Consumption

Peaches are a popular fruit appreciated by consumers due to their eating quality. Quality evaluation of peaches is important for their processing, inventory control, and marketing. Eleven quality indicators (shape index, volume, mass, density, firmness, color, impedance, phase angle, soluble solid concentration, titratable acidity, and sugar–acid ratio) of 200 peach fruits (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch “Spring Belle”) were measured within 48 h. Quality indicator data were normalized, outliers were excluded, and correlation analysis showed that the correlation coefficients between dielectric properties and firmness were the highest. A back propagation (BP) neural network was used to predict the firmness of fresh peaches based on their dielectric properties, with an overall fitting ratio of 86.9%. The results of principal component analysis indicated that the cumulative variance of the first five principal components was 85%. Based on k-means clustering analysis, normalized data from eleven quality indicators in 190 peaches were classified into five clusters. The proportion of red surface area was shown to be a poor basis for picking fresh peaches for the consumer market, as it bore little relationship with the comprehensive quality scores calculated using the new grading model.
