Published: May 2018

Introdução: As instituições bancárias brasileiras possuem, em geral, produtos e serviços semelhantes, com pouca distinção entre si. Portanto, a utilização das informações de forma estratégica e inteligente podem determinar o sucesso e a permanência no mercado. A inteligência competitiva (IC) têm se preocupado com o gerenciamento destas informações, estruturando seu processo para o aprimoramento do conhecimento acerca dos seus concorrentes, antecipando-se de forma a conquistar novos mercados e alcançar melhores resultados.Objetivo: Compreender como a IC tem contribuído para o alcance dos objetivos estratégicos de um banco a partir da percepção de gestores, abordando-se a estrutura, recursos pessoais e tecnológicos da IC.Metodologia: A caracterização da visão sistêmica do processo de IC nas instituições financeiras foi realizada através de levantamento bibliográfico, culminando na elaboração de instrumentos de pesquisa. Este foi aplicado para os gestores de um banco de grande porte. Quinze de cinquenta funcionários dos níveis estratégico, tático e operacional da IC participaram da fase de coleta de dados, a qual incluía entrevistas e um grupo focal. Os resultados foram agregados em quatro categorias (visão, ciclo, práticas e desafios) onde cada contempla seus temas.Resultados: A IC foi considerada um elemento chave no processo estratégico ainda que se apresente em estágio inicial. Um dos principais desafios é relacionar os esforços de inteligência com os resultados efetivamente alcançados, mensurando assim o seu valor estratégico.Conclusões: Como contribuição teórica deste trabalho foi proposto um processo de IC, que contempla abordagens científicas diferenciadas, sintetizando a dinâmica das etapas ao longo do processo. A contribuição prática se dá através da implantação e estruturação do processo de IC de forma detalhada.

Authors: Cainelli Marlene Rosa , Tomazini Elizabete Cristina de Souza 
Published: May 2018

Nossa investigação foi realizada a partir de relatórios e entrevistas com pibidianos que atuaram nos anos de 2011 e 2012 no curso de História da Universidade Estadual de Londrina. Os pibidianos revelaram como acreditavam na possibilidade de exercer a docência a partir dos pressupostos da Educação Histórica, em especial, o modelo de aula-oficina. Neste artigo apresentamos as discussões sobre a utilização da aula oficina nas experiências do PIBID e posteriormente em sala de aula a partir das entrevistas realizadas com os pibidianos que agora são professores da educação básica. Pesquisadores deste campo teórico, como Barca (2001a;2011), defendem que devemos ter um olhar atento sobre a formação inicial ofertada aos graduandos. Este artigo procura trazer contribuições para as reflexões sobre a formação inicial de professores de História, no sentido de entender que é necessário integrar os conhecimentos teóricos e práticos nos currículos dos cursos de licenciatura.Palavras chaves: educação histórica, aula-oficina, formação de professores, PIBID.

Modeling of High-Temperature Electron-Ion Interaction in Metals
Authors: Filippov E. S. 
Published: May 2018

Due to the band structure blurring, all low-temperature characteristics (p = hk) pass to the parameter R associated with LambdaF/2Pi, binding energy, the volume of interatomic voids, the volume increment upon melting, and the packing factor. Application of the parameter R to the analysis of wave characteristics revealed their relationship with the packing factor of the reciprocal lattice (for alkali metals, it is 0.74, for Pb, Al ..., it is 0.68). A correlation is established between the fluctuation cell of heat transfer ± Lambda K (where Lambda = h/mc and K is the number of nearest neighbors) and the reciprocal lattice of the atomic-ion space determined by the atom and ion volumes and by the parameter R.

Published: May 2018

Background
Among combat sports, Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) present elevated physical fitness demands from the high-intensity intermittent efforts. However, information regarding how metabolic and neuromuscular physical fitness is associated with technical-tactical performance in Judo and BJJ fights is not available. This study aimed to relate indicators of physical fitness with combat performance variables in Judo and BJJ.

Methods
The sample consisted of Judo (n = 16) and BJJ (n = 24) male athletes. At the first meeting, the physical tests were applied and, in the second, simulated fights were performed for later notational analysis.

Results
The main findings indicate: (i) high reproducibility of the proposed instrument and protocol used for notational analysis in a mobile device; (ii) differences in the technical-tactical and time-motion patterns between modalities; (iii) performance-related variables are different in Judo and BJJ; and (iv) regression models based on metabolic fitness variables may account for up to 53% of the variances in technical-tactical and/or time-motion variables in Judo and up to 31% in BJJ, whereas neuromuscular fitness models can reach values up to 44 and 73% of prediction in Judo and BJJ, respectively. When all components are combined, they can explain up to 90% of high intensity actions in Judo.

Discussion
In conclusion, performance prediction models in simulated combat indicate that anaerobic, aerobic and neuromuscular fitness variables contribute to explain time-motion variables associated with high intensity and technical-tactical variables in Judo and BJJ fights.

Published: May 2018

BackgroundThe annual global deaths from viral hepatitis is 1.4 million. Pakistan has the second highest burden of hepatitis C in the world. There is dire need to evaluate the response of new direct acting antivirals for the treatment of hepatitis C patients in Pakistan. World Health Organization has developed a strategy to treat 80% of HCV patients by 2030. In Pakistan, HCV treatment rate is 1%. The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of Sofosbuvir plus Ribavirin therapy on HCV patients in Pakistan.MethodsAn observational study was conducted at Fauji Foundation Hospital Rawalpindi from November-2016 to July-2017. All the drugs were administered according to the guidelines of Asia Pacific Association for the Study of Liver (APASL) for the treatment of HCV patients. A total 327 chronic HCV patients were enrolled in the study and 304 completed the treatment. Patients belonged to three different groups including treatment: Naïve patients (n = 107), Non-Responder patients (n = 126) and patients who relapsed to Interferon therapy (n = 71).All the patients were given Sofosbuvir plus Ribavirin therapy for 24 weeks and the early virological response (EVR) and end treatment response (ETR) was calculated. Different parameters including patient age, viral load, viral genotype, blood picture, ultrasound findings and liver function tests were also studied.ResultsOut of 304 patients, 301 (99%) achieved EVR and 300 achieved ETR (98.7%). End treatment response was 95.6% in HCV genotype 1 and 98.9% in HCV genotype 3 patients. ETR was 99.06% in treatment Naïve, 99.20% in non-responders and 97.18% in previously relapsed patients. We did not find the association of any host and viral factor in the determination of EVR and ETR.ConclusionThe Sofosbuvir plus Ribavirin treatment is highly effective, safe and cost-effective for the treatment of hepatitis C patients in Pakistan.
Participation in Regular Physical Activity After Total Knee or Hip Arthroplasty for Osteoarthritis: Prevalence, Associated Factors, and Type
Authors: Naylor Justine M. , Pocovi Natasha , Descallar Joseph , Mills Kathryn A. 
Published: May 2018

ObjectiveTo describe the rates of participation in regular physical activity presurgery and at 3 years follow‐up after knee or hip arthroplasty, and to describe factors associated with participation postsurgery and types of activity undertaken.MethodsA previously acquired multicenter, prospective cohort of knee or hip arthroplasty recipients was followed up for 3 years postsurgery. Regular participation in physical activity was defined as participation in physical activity ≥1 time/week, excluding incidental activities. Participants were interviewed about current participation as well as participation in the year presurgery. Joint‐specific and health‐related quality‐of‐life scores and information on experience of major complications were obtained. Information about comorbidity and body weight were updated. Factors associated with 3‐year physical activity participation were determined using multivariable logistic regression modeling.ResultsIn total, 73.4% of the eligible cohort (1,289 of 1,757) were followed up (718 patients with total knee arthroplasty, and 571 patients with total hip arthroplasty). Participation profiles were similar regardless of the joint replaced. Participation in physical activity increased postsurgery in the combined cohort (from 45.2% to 63.5%; P < 0.001). Participation at 3 years was associated with participation presurgery (P < 0.0001), better 3‐year quality of life (P < 0.001), younger age (P = 0.002), better 3‐year joint scores (P = 0.01), >1 lifetime arthroplasty (P = 0.02), and higher education level (P = 0.04). Low‐impact and nonambulatory activities significantly increased postsurgery with no change in high‐impact activities.ConclusionParticipation rates increased postsurgery when recovery was stable, but approximately one‐third of arthroplasty recipients did not engage in physical activity at least once per week. Because participation is associated with habitual activity presurgery, a potential role for behavior change interventions is suggested. The increase in nonambulatory activities indicates that current devices measuring ambulatory activity alone are inadequate for capturing physical activity.

Published: May 2018

ObjectiveTo examine disease‐modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) treatments and estimate the risk of a subsequent cardiovascular (CV) event following an initial CV event in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), or psoriasis.MethodsWe analyzed data from MarketScan claims databases (January 1, 2006 to June 30, 2015) for adults with RA, PsA, or psoriasis and an initial/index CV event (acute myocardial infarction, stroke, or coronary revascularization) while receiving DMARDs (tumor necrosis factor inhibitor [TNFi] biologic DMARDs [bDMARDs], conventional synthetic DMARDs [csDMARDs], or non‐TNFi bDMARDs). We studied DMARD treatment patterns following the index event and rates of subsequent CV events. We used Cox regression to investigate predictors of DMARD discontinuation and risk factors for subsequent CV events.ResultsAmong 10,254 patients, 15.3% discontinued and 15.5% switched DMARD therapy after the index CV event. Independent predictors of DMARD discontinuation included a psoriasis diagnosis, renal disease, hypertension, heart failure, diabetes mellitus, older age, and baseline csDMARD or non‐TNFi bDMARD use (versus TNFi bDMARDs). Rates per 1,000 patient‐years of subsequent events were 75.2 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 54.4–96.0) for patients taking TNFi bDMARDs, 83.6 (95% CI 53.3–113.9) for csDMARDs, and 122.4 (95% CI 60.6–184.3) for non‐TNFi bDMARDs. A diagnosis of RA (versus psoriasis) and heart failure at baseline, but not a DMARD pattern after the index event, were independently associated with an increased risk of subsequent CV event.ConclusionIn this large nationwide study, nearly one‐third of patients with RA, PsA, or psoriasis switched or discontinued DMARD therapy following a CV event. There was no association between DMARD class and the risk of a subsequent CV event.

AbstractA Rh(III)‐catalyzed C−H activation of azobenzenes in the coupling with diazo compounds has been realized, providing a straightforward strategy to access functionalized cinnolinium triflates in high yields. This protocol features silver free mild reaction conditions and compatibility with diverse functional groups. The coupling proceeds via initial Rh(III)‐catalyzed C−H alkylation, followed by zinc triflate‐mediated cyclization, where zinc triflate acts as a Lewis acid as well as a triflate source.magnified image
In Situ Analysis of Solvent and Additive Effects on Film Morphology Evolution in Spin‐Cast Small‐Molecule and Polymer Photovoltaic Materials

Published: May 2018

AbstractTo elucidate the details of film morphology/order evolution during spin‐coating, solvent and additive effects are systematically investigated for three representative organic solar cell (OSC) active layer materials using combined in situ grazing incidence wide angle x‐ray scattering (GIWAXS) and optical reflectance. Two archetypical semiconducting donor (p‐type) polymers, P3HT and PTB7, and semiconducting donor small‐molecule, p‐DTS(FBTTh2)2 are studied using three neat solvents (chloroform, chlorobenzene, 1,2‐dichlorobenzene) and four processing additives (1‐chloronaphthalene, diphenyl ether, 1,8‐diiodooctane, and 1,6‐diiodohexane). In situ GIWAXS identifies several trends: 1) for neat solvents, rapid crystallization occurs that risks kinetically locking the material into multiple crystal structures or crystalline orientations; and 2) for solvent + additive processed films, morphology evolution involves sequential transformations on timescales ranging from seconds to hours, with key divergences dependent on additive/semiconductor molecular interactions. When π‐planes dominate the additive/semiconductor interactions, both polymers and small molecule films follow similar evolutions, completing in 1–5 min. When side chains dominate the additive/semiconductor interactions, polymer film maturation times are up to 9 h, while initial crystallization times <10 s are observed for small‐molecule films. This study offers guiding information on OSC donor intermediate morphologies, evolution timescales, and divergent evolutions that can inform OSC manufacture.
On the Stability of DNA Origami Nanostructures in Low‐Magnesium Buffers

Published: May 2018

AbstractDNA origami structures have great potential as functional platforms in various biomedical applications. Many applications, however, are incompatible with the high Mg2+ concentrations commonly believed to be a prerequisite for maintaining DNA origami integrity. Herein, we investigate DNA origami stability in low‐Mg2+ buffers. DNA origami stability is found to crucially depend on the availability of residual Mg2+ ions for screening electrostatic repulsion. The presence of EDTA and phosphate ions may thus facilitate DNA origami denaturation by displacing Mg2+ ions from the DNA backbone and reducing the strength of the Mg2+–DNA interaction, respectively. Most remarkably, these buffer dependencies are affected by DNA origami superstructure. However, by rationally selecting buffer components and considering superstructure‐dependent effects, the structural integrity of a given DNA origami nanostructure can be maintained in conventional buffers even at Mg2+ concentrations in the low‐micromolar range.
Direct Participation of a Peripheral Side Chain of a Corrin Ring in Coenzyme B12 Catalysis
Authors: Shibata Naoki , Sueyoshi Yui , Higuchi Yoshiki , Toraya Tetsuo 
Published: May 2018

AbstractThe crystal structures of the B12‐dependent isomerases (eliminating) diol dehydratase and ethanolamine ammonia‐lyase complexed with adenosylcobalamin were solved with and without substrates. The structures revealed that the peripheral a‐acetamide side chain of the corrin ring directly interacts with the adenosyl group to maintain the group in the catalytic position, and that this side chain swings between the original and catalytic positions in a synchronized manner with the radical shuttling between the coenzyme and substrate/product. Mutations involving key residues that cooperatively participate in the positioning of the adenosyl group, directly or indirectly through the interaction with the a‐side chain, decreased the turnover rate and increased the relative rate of irreversible inactivation caused by undesirable side reactions. These findings guide the engineering of enzymes for improved catalysis and producing useful chemicals by utilizing the high reactivity of radical species.

Published: May 2018

AbstractLiCl is a classic “hard” ion salt that is present in lithium‐rich brines and a key component in end‐of‐life materials (that is, used lithium‐ion batteries). Its isolation and purification from like salts is a recognized challenge with potential strategic and economic implications. Herein, we describe two ditopic calix[4]pyrrole‐based ion‐pair receptors (2 and 3), that are capable of selectively capturing LiCl. Under solid–liquid extraction conditions, using 2 as the extractant, LiCl could be separated from a NaCl/KCl salt mixture containing as little as 1 % LiCl with circa 100 % selectivity, while receptor 3 achieved similar separations when the LiCl level was as low as 200 ppm. Under liquid–liquid extraction conditions using nitrobenzene as the non‐aqueous phase, the extraction preference displayed by 2 is KCl>NaCl>LiCl. In contrast, 3 exhibits high selectivity towards LiCl over NaCl and KCl, with no appreciable extraction being observed for the latter two salts.
