Published: February 2021

The purpose of this study was to present an analysis of consumer attitudes towards the brand and its purchase intentions, as well as to explore the relationships between brand image, brand tradition, company image and beliefs regarding the brand’s role in society. As a research of a descriptive nature, it was decided to approach the research problem quantitatively through the application of a survey. The questionnaires were applied to university students from private institutions of the Business Administration course in Brazil, Spain, Mexico and Paraguay in the period of May and June 2016. The marketing scale presented by Vieira (2011) was used and validated by Pereira, Almeida and Laux (2006). Data processing for presentation and analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software. The results demonstrated relevant information about consumers' attitudes towards the brand and their purchase intentions. It became evident that companies can develop marketing strategies at different levels of intensity for each of the categories analyzed and, from them, establish marketing strategies with greater criteria and objectivity in their strategies of positioning.

Published: February 2021

This study presents a diagnosis of the current practices and a proposal of a roadmap for integrating social environmental variables in corporate fixed income securities valuation. The roadmap does not make a distinction between the different forms that the securities can take on and was developed by identifying the best integration practices adopted by market players. The sample was formed by 67 agents from the corporate fixed income securities market obtained by criteria of engagement in sustainable finance and relevance in the fixed income securities market. The diagnosis indicated a weak consideration of social environmental variables in the valuation of fixed income securities with little difference among the practices of the domestic and foreign financial institutions with credit rating being the main approach used. The roadmap proposed presents basic considerations of risks and opportunities following the path of analysis the sector and corporate social environmental factors accompanied by adjusting contractual rate spreads. The specific contributions expected from the study are to improve the financial strategy of companies, reach greater efficiency in investor portfolio management, and provide guidance that is more adequate by the regulators and formulators of public policies.

Authors: Sanchez-Hernandez María Isabel , Dorado-Mayorga Elena , Pereira-Alvarez Guillermo Alberto , Osorio-Atehortua Ubeimar , Malavera-Pineda Sandra , Montoya-Quintero Jaime Alberto
Published: February 2021

Purpose –The aim of this work is to approach the concept of sustainable entrepreneurship from a theoretical and a practical point of view, paying attention to new business models that are emerging around the world for social innovation. In this context, we focus the attention on the business model called one-for-one and we wonder whether the Colombian market should be a good option for developing this business model.Design/methodology/approach – To test the viability of the business model one-for-one we conducted a market research in March 2019, with a sample of students from two higher education institutions in the city of Medellin (Colombia). Findings – The results of the empirical research show the positive moral attitude of Colombian to solve social problems, but also the market immaturity because of the relative low purchase intentions found in Colombian potential consumers. Research limitations/implications– Not exempt from criticism, this work defends innovative business models standing for a business driven concept of sustainability which focusses on increasing both economic as well as social value.Practical implications – The model of donating one item to someone in need, for each item purchased, could be considered in the future a viable option for developing business models in Colombia.Social implications – Nowadays and more than never before, society requires that the actions of companies are aimed at contributing to social development and environmental sustainability, as well as economic viability. Companies oriented towards present and future sustainability in the decision making of purchase or investment will be an important source of competitive advantages in the near future.Originality/value – Although the study of sustainable entrepreneurship is still in very early stages in Latin American countries, this work shed light on the topic analyzing the business model one-for-one as a potential mean to foster a transition towards more sustainable societies.

O quê as (pessoas que ensinam com) imagens realmente querem?
Authors: Ospina Álvarez Juan Sebastián , Monteles Nayara Joyse Silva
Published: February 2021

No presente artigo expomos uma reflexão sobre as práticas educativas da cultura visual ou educação da cultura visual (Dias, 2012) sob o questionamento “o quê as (pessoas que ensinam com) imagens realmente querem?”, adaptado da pergunta que Mitchell (2017) faz quando disse: o que as imagens realmente querem? Compreendemos que as imagens, quando utilizadas nas práticas educativas, tornam-se tanto recursos pedagógicos quanto ferramentas metodológicas cujos caminhos e possibilidades se desdobram à medida que os sujeitos se envolvem na produção de conhecimento. Assim, nossa discussão pauta-se em compreender o quê realmente desejam as pessoas que realizam trabalhos pedagógicos com imagens, pensando as imagens a partir do viés dos estudos da cultura visual.

Authors: Santos João Paulo Saraiva , Horta Fernanda , Grade Amanda
Published: February 2021

A literatura tem constatado atrasos substanciais na capacidade de leitura e escrita em crianças surdas, sendo, contudo, escassa no que se refere à língua portuguesa. O presente estudo pretendeu caraterizar uma amostra de alunos surdos portugueses (3 meninos, 4 meninas, entre os 11 e os 12 anos de idade) do ensino fundamental em termos de grau de surdez, idade de diagnóstico, tempo de utilização de próteses/implantes e idade de ingresso numa escola especializada; e avaliar a competência destes alunos relativamente ao domínio da leitura e da escrita na sua segunda língua. Os alunos foram submetidos a uma bateria composta por 6 tarefas, que avaliaram o reconhecimento de palavras, a correspondência imagem-palavra, o cumprimento de instruções escritas, a legendagem de imagens, a compreensão de uma narrativa escrita e a produção de uma narrativa escrita. Foram observadas grandes discrepâncias em todas as variáveis independentes. Quanto às dependentes, a compreensão e a produção de uma narrativa escrita foram as competências em que os alunos revelaram maiores dificuldades. As estratégias de intervenção devem centrar-se na melhoria da compreensão da leitura, concentrando-se não apenas nas habilidades de nível básico, garantindo um conhecimento adequado do vocabulário usado em uma história específica, mas também em habilidades mais complexas, escalpelizando a sua estrutura e treinando habilidades de inferência a um nível global. Os dados revelados podem constituir um importante contributo, na medida em que a identificação de áreas fortes e fracas pode permitir um ajustamento de objetivos, métodos e/ou estratégias que, efetivamente, atendam às suas reais necessidades.

Published: February 2021

This study evaluated the soil basal respiration (SBR) of three forest types and seasons and their correlation with pedological attributes in the 0-5 cm land layer. Therefore, we selected two areas of commercial tree species in the central-southern Paraná region: one plot of Pinus taeda and one of Eucalyptus dunnii; and a control, a patch of native forest (Mixed Ombrophyllous Forest). We determined the SBR by the alkaline addition method, incubating the samples for seven days. We collected samples in the cool dry season (winter) and in the hot humid season (summer). Soil attributes were determined by a routine analysis (pH, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Al3+, P, Matéria Orgânica, areia grossa e areia fina, silte, argila e V%). We observed significant SBR differences only about summer and winter. SBR correlated significantly with organic matter. These results are similar to most of the literature. There was no difference between the forest types about the SBR, showing that even monoculture forests can present carbon fluxes statistically equal to those of an intermediate successional stage native forest. The specific edaphic fauna adapted to each ecosystem may explain the absence of this difference in relation to SBR.

Authors: Gouveia Nicásio , Moreira Junior Fernando De Jesus , Ansuj Angela Pellegin , Oliveira José Renê de
Published: February 2021

The objective of this work was to create a scale to assess the level of customer satisfaction in a restaurant, using the Two Parameter Logistic Model (2PL) of the Item Response Theory (IRT). For this, a questionnaire was applied to 640 customers, including 28 restaurant attributes related to the indoor and outdoor environments, with food and service. The results shown in most respondents are satisfied with the specified effects, with the most recommended items being payment options, a location in the restaurant and its size and structure. Also note that all items had a good fit with the 2PL, so there is no need to exclude them. Consequently, it was possible to build an interpretable scale with four levels for customer satisfaction. In addition, it was possible to evaluate the questionnaire and identify which latent screening interval is most appropriate. The application of permitted adjustments allows to locate the items on the created scale, as well as to identify those that deserve greater attention in the organizational planning of a restaurant.

We define a new class of distributions with one extra shapeparameter including some special cases. We provide numerical and computational aspects of the new class. We proposefunctions using the \textsf{R} language to fit any distribution in this family to a data set. In addition, such functions are implemented efficientlyusing the library \textsf{Rcpp} that enables the incorporation of the codes \textsf{C++} in \textsf{R} automatically. Some examples are presentedfor using the implemented routines in practice. We derive some mathematical properties of this class including explicit expressionsfor the moments, generating function and mean deviations. We discuss the estimation of the model parametersby maximum likelihood and provide an application to a real data set.

This is an ecological, descriptive study using secondary data, obtained from a public database. Data on respiratory diseases considered in the present study were obtained from the DATASUS website in the period from January 1998 to December 2014. The climate variables employed as explanatory variables for modeling the data were obtained from the INMET website, more specifically the Meteorological Database for Teaching and Research. From the realized evaluation, it was possible to conclude that the negative binomial regression model showed superiority in relation to the Poisson regression model, with the last regression model being the log linear negative binomial regression model.  The results show a positive relationship between the variables considered in the municipality. There is an expected relative increase in the number of hospitalizations for respiratory diseases if average wind speed, total sunshine, relative humidity and season are observed.

An analysis of the performance of the hypothesis testing content for the population average of health students who participated in the active teaching methodology called Problem Based Learning adapted to the teaching context and supported by the Conceptual Fields Theory is presented. This performance was compared with that of students who took traditional classes through an instrument created for this purpose that sought to replicate typical questions of this content. The instrument was applied to 99 students from a higher education institution in southern Brazil, by the Moodle environment, in person and using Excel and Bioestat software. Scores were analyzed by Exploratory Data Analysis, the Classical Test Theory and Hypothesis Tests and were higher for students who did not participate in the PBL, but the differences were not significant at α = 5%. Possible causes are the better adaptation of the instrument to the traditional education system, contextual limitations to the application of the active methodology such as low workload and resistance to new methodologies. It is concluded that the difference in scores is not large enough to discourage the effort to adapt active methodologies to biostatistics, given its advantages other than yield.

Knowledge about the groundwater potential is an important tool to sustainably manage groundwater exploitation. In this context, based on the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and multicriteria analysis by the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), this study had the objective of mapping the groundwater potential of the district of Itabira, Minas Gerais, which is one of the largest mining regions in Brazil. The evaluation of the regional groundwater potential was based on thematic maps of land use and cover, soil, geology, slope, lineament density, and drainage density. From the evaluation of these parameters and their classes, weights were assigned by the AHP method, according to the influence of each one with regard to favoring water infiltration and aquifer recharge. The thematic maps were integrated in a GIS environment, generating a groundwater map of the district divided into five classes of groundwater potential (very low, low, moderate, high, and very high). In about 64% of the territory the potential for groundwater occurrence was very low to low and from moderate to very high in about 36%. The groundwater potential map showed that 64.42% of the district of Itabira has very low to low potential indices, mainly due to a number of regional characteristics that make aquifer infiltration and recharge difficult and occur in large areas of the territory.

The number of child deaths has been decreasing over the years, in the world, in Brazil and in Rio Grande do Sul. The intuition of this article is to identify the scenario of infant mortality in Rio Grande do Sul, verifying if it is reflected in its mesoregions. For this, descriptive statistics, correlation with Spearmam test and principal components techniques were performed. The results obtained in the descriptive analysis revealed that in general Rio Grande do Sul and its mesoregions behave the same way, the correlations were high among the variables, except with the variable, proportion of women who attended less than 7 prenatal consultations. Principal component analysis also showed that the mesoregion and state variables are explained by two components. Thus, it is concluded that in fact the scenario of infant mortality is reflected in its mesoregions.

The watershed is a complex system that goes beyond the drainage network, involving all the ecosystem aspects within its limits. Despite the set of ecohydrological functions that its components play in the protection of water resources, especially the vegetal cover, hydrological systems are the ecosystems that suffer the most changes due to anthropic activities, notably when inserted in the urban environment. Thus, this work aimed to perform the environmental diagnosis of the lower course of the Gigante river basin, in Manaus-AM. We carried field visits, collecting and registering information about the study area, applying check-list, interaction network and interaction matrix methods. Through the environmental diagnosis, we evaluated that the low course of the Gigante River presents areas where native vegetation has been suppressed, including permanent preservation areas, triggering several impacts of other orders, such as exposure and waterproofing of the soil, silting, introduction of exotic species, excess aquatic vegetation, effluent and solid waste. The proposed mitigation measures were to eliminate the emission of effluents and deposition of solid wastes, to remove the invasive species and to lead the natural regeneration and/or the enrichment of the area.
