Infecção humana por Hantavírus no Sul e Sudeste do Brasil.

The results of serological investigation on Hantavirus antibodies carried out between February 1986 and August 1990 in human populations of the States of Sao Paulo and Parana, Brazil, which had close contact with urban rats or wild rodents and others small mammals are described. OBJECTIVE--To identify the human infection caused by Hantaviruses, which are the etiological agents of Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. METHODS--Sera from 1063 persons were tested by enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) to Hantaan, Seoul and Puumala antigens. Plaque reduction neutralization test to the same antigens and indirect immunofluorescent test to Hantaan antigen were performed in the positive sera. RESULTS--Antibodies to Hantaan, Seoul or Puumala viruses were detected in 32 persons by enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) and immunofluorescent test. Plaque reduction neutralization test performed in these 32 sera were positive in 5 (3 for Puumala and 2 for Seoul viruses). One serum reacted with high titer to Seoul virus in all tests. It was from a male resident in the rural area of Ribeira Valley, State of Sao Paulo, where he was born and has always lived. He had only travelled inside the State of Sao Paulo. CONCLUSION--There are serological evidences of Hantavirus infections in residents of the rural areas of the Amparo Island, Paranagua Bay, State of Parana and the Ribeira Valley, State of Sao Paulo; in employees of the port of Paranagua, State of Parana and in patients of the Emilio Ribas Hospital, Sao Paulo, State of Sao Paulo, who had a presumptive diagnosis of leptospirosis.
Difference Between The Slow Vital Capacity And Forced Vital Capacity: Predictor Of Hyperinflation In Patients With Airflow Obstruction

Introduction: The aim of our study was to assess the relation between the difference in the vital capacity (dVC) measured by means of forced manoeuvres (forced vital capacity FVC ) and slow (expiratory vital capacity EVC -) and the presence of air trapping. We also studied the predictive value of this difference as a marker of the degree of air trapping. Methods: 162 consecutive individuals with suspected airflow obstruction comprised the study cohort. A simple spirometry and a determination of lung volumes by plethysmography were performed in all patients. The patients were classified in not obstructive, mild, moderate and severe obstructive. We randomly divided the 124 obstructive patients in two groups: regression group (n=94) and validation group (n=30). A multiple regression analysis was carried out, in which the hyperinflation (RV/TLC) composed the dependent variable and age, body mass index (BMI), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), and dVC composed the independent variables in the model. We subsequently verified the equation in the validation group. Results: Thirty-eight patients were non-obstructive, 53 presented with mild obstruction, 39 moderate and 32 severe obstruction. The FVC was a 3,1% lower than the EVC in non-obstructive individuals, a 5,1% lower in those with mild obstruction, 10% lower in the moderate obstructive and a 16,8% lower in the severe obstructive groups. In the regression analysis FEV1 and dVC explained the 52% of the variability of the hyperinflation. Conclusions: The FVC is lower than the EVC either in normal individuals or in obstructive patients. The difference between the FVC and the EVC increases with the degree of obstruction. Hyperinflation in patients with airway obstruction is determined by the degree of obstruction (FEV1) and by the difference in the vital capacity between forced and slow manoeuvres.

Haplo+cord transplantation: Neutrophil and platelet recovery and long-term survival compared to double umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation--A case-cohort analysis.

7004 Background: Double UCB (dUCB) SCT can result in long-term survival and low rates of chronic GVHD. Limitations are delayed engraftment and early TRM. We previously reported that co-infusion of CD34-selected SCT from a haplo-identical relative, with a single UCB graft (haplo+cord ) results in rapid count recovery and durable engraftment from the UCB graft. In the current study we compared the outcomes of haplo+cord to dUCB transplantation. Methods: As of October 2013, 99 pts have been treated with haplo+cord at two institutions. Their outcomes were compared with those of 737 adults undergoing dUCB during the same period and reported to CIBMTR. Haplo-cord pts were older, more of minority descent, and had higher risk disease. Haplo+cord cases were matched to 4 dUCB controls based on age, gender, race, disease type, disease stage pre-transplant, KPS and year of transplant. The final control group had 344 pts. Despite matching, a higher percentage of haplo+cord pts had high-risk disease, (44% vs 34%, p=0.0.

An investigation into the factors influencing inter-urban freight mode choice decisions in the Southern African Development Community region

Background: Two recurring issues in freight research regard the determination of the decision-makers in terms of freight mode choice and the modal attributes that shippers consider when making such mode choice decisions. Objectives: As few studies have been conducted in freight transport research in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region; this paper provides empirical results on two research questions that allows the understanding of the freight procurement landscape in SADC. Firstly, who the decision maker is in terms of freight mode choice, and secondly, which modal attributes are consider and in which order, when shippers make mode choice decisions. Method: An online survey was conducted with 86 shippers, freight forwarders and third-party logistics parties across the SADC region to address modal attributes in freight mode choice. The exploded logit model was developed to draw inference from the data. Results: The results confirm that freight mode choice decisions are mostly affected by the shipper, with the freight forwarder being typically employed as the advisor. In terms of modal attributes, the results of an exploded logit model revealed that the top five attributes in terms of importance are reliability with reference to arriving on time, transport cost, risk of damage, frequency of service and transit time. Conclusion: These results can inform freight studies, especially shipper behavioural studies, which require the enumeration of attributes that can lead to improved reliable studies on freight transport.

From the data collection it was possible to receive a mostly positive feedback, but several improvement opportunities were pointed out, which will be performed soon. Thus, from the developed platform one can plan future work, taking into account the results obtained and experience and partnerships with the VISIR+project.
Impact of Proactive Postsales Service and Cross-Selling Activities on Customer Churn and Service Calls

In recent years, service providers have identified the proactive postsales service (PPS) as a viable measure for preempting service failures and their negative consequences. Due to the high costs associated with PPSs, companies are looking for ways to increase their efficiency. To understand how companies can increase their revenues and lower their costs, this study investigates how cross-selling activities and different media types affect the impact of a PPS on inbound service calls and customer churn. Based on a large-scale field experiment in the telecommunications industry, as well as a controlled lab experiment, the results demonstrate the overall effectiveness of the PPS and indicate two mediating effects. While the effect of cross-selling on customer churn and service calls is mediated by the customers’ uncertainty regarding the company’s motives, it is the customers’ perception of privacy invasion that mediates the influence of the contact medium on the effectiveness of the PPS. Our finding that PPS contacts have to be clear in their message and should not be perceived as invasive is an indication of the importance of service-(post)sales ambidexterity.
An Empirical Analysis of Influencing Factors on Success of Equity Crowdfunding: By Industry and Funding type

The two main goals of this study are to derive independent factors affecting the success rate of crowdfunding and to empirically analyze the variation of independent factors' effects on the success of crowdfunding by industry (Internet, culture/art, manufacturing/distribution), and funding type (stock type, bond type). To identify the success factors of crowdfunding for invigoration and strategic utilization, first, several variables were refined after interviews with experts and platform operators with investment experiences in numerous crowdfunding projects. Then, independent factors affecting project involvement were categorized as follows: a characteristic of project, participant activity, and enterprise. Also, the results derived from the influence of independent variables on crowdfunding after moderating effects were driven. Selected independent factors in this study are as follows: crowdfunding period, target amount, visual contents, minimum account money, number of comments, number of SNS followers, level of interest, financial Statement disclosure, investment attraction, venture company, http://www.jsebs. org ISSN: 2288-3908 The Journal of Society for e-Business Studies Vol.24, No.3, August 2019, pp.35-51 https://doi.org/10.7838/jsebs.2019. 24.3. 035
Do Appraisal Challenges Benefit Target Shareholders through Narrowing Arbitrage Spread?

There is an ongoing debate regarding the extent to which the increased appraisal litigation in the Delaware Chancery Court is beneficial from a public policy perspective. In a recent issue of the Journal of Law and Economics, Boone, Broughman, and Macias document that, compared with deals without appraisal challenges, deals subject to appraisal challenges have a 6-percentage-point lower postannouncement arbitrage spread on average. On the basis of this observed gap in arbitrage spread, the authors claim that appraisal challenges benefit target shareholders through narrowing arbitrage spread. We find that the observed gap in arbitrage spread is driven by outliers and sampling biases. Controlling for these biases completely closes the observed gap. Therefore, there is no evidence that gains from appraisal arbitrage are shared with target shareholders through narrowing of the arbitrage spread.
