title: EXPLOITATION AND MENTAL SUFFERING AMONG TEACHERS: A STUDY IN THE STATE SCHOOL SYSTEM IN THE STATE OF PARANÁ, BRAZIL

description: Abstract The reorganization of the world of labor has a strong impact over the life and health statuses of the working class. Teachers, as well as other workers, have been going through a process of precarization of labor, among other consequences of flexible accumulation, with the increase in the requirements without a sufficient increase in the resources that are needed in order to perform the work. The significant increase in mental suffering among teachers seems to be connected to the new working conditions. With the goal of providing elements in order to face this issue, we developed a research with the aim of observing the association between the increase in exploitation in the work of the teachers and mental suffering. We performed a cross-sectional study using the Limesurvey online survey tool, in which 1,201 teachers of the state school system answered 2 online questionnaires: the Self-Reporting Questionnaire-20 and another one, developed by the researchers, about the working conditions of the teachers. The weekly working hours, the amount of students per classroom and the amount of classes of students per teacher showed an association with minor psychological disorders. The association between the amount of students per classroom and the presence of a minor psychological disorder was statistically significant. We concluded that the prevalence of cases that indicate psychological disorders is very high among teachers, and there are signs of an association with many different kinds of exploitation in the work of teachers.

title: SOCIAL DETERMINATION OR SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH: TEXT AND CONTEXT IN LATIN AMERICA

description: Abstract The social determination of health and the social determinants of health have been presented as synonyms in a context in which this topic is being revisited. The conception of determination and determinants and the historicity of these theoretical models transcend the academic realm, once we consider the particularity involving public health, collective health, and social medicine, in which science and politics have a close relationship. Through the description of the differences between these two terms, our aim in this essay was to bring back, in theory, the elaboration of the social determination of health, highlighting its relationship with the knowledge produced in Latin America and its repercussions in Brazil, as well as the influences of the scientific and epistemological paradigms, the set of theories, and the projects that are in dispute in this field. In order to encompass the academic and political dimensions contained in the theoretical models, we sought the help of authors that move among different fields of knowledge. Without the intention of covering all of the points of observation that our incursion provided, we present a summary of our conception of the theoretical model of the social determinants of health and, chiefly, of the social determination of health, which we suggest should be divided into two categories, structural determination and structural-relational determination, in order to enable a better observation of the theoretical and methodological improvements, by emphasizing complexity epistemologically.

title: ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING IN THE SUPERVISED INTERNSHIP IN NURSING IN COLLECTIVE HEALTH

description: Abstract In this thoughtful theoretical essay, we developed a discussion regarding the assessment of learning in the process of training for care in Nursing in Collective Health throughout the supervised internship. We had conversations with the authors of Collective Health and of the assessment of learning by competencies, mainly those involved in medicine, who were pioneers in this debate, using the hierarchical-conceptual model of assessment by competencies proposed by George Miller. We sought to make a contribution by presenting the possibilities of methods, tools and procedures for the assessment of learning in summative or formative contexts, and the perspectives and tendencies of the assessment of the teaching-learning process in the field of Nursing. We verified that the assessment by competencies needs to be more discussed in order to be in line with the ongoing syllabus changes and the demands for the training of professional profiles that is in accordance with the needs and principles of the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde, SUS, in the Portuguese acronym).

title: Corporate sustainability and value creation: the case of the “Dow Jones Sustainability Index”

description: Abstract Choosing an enterprise that will be part of Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) raises some expectations concerning this conquest benefits. We hope that the investment on sustainable development and the inclusion of the company in this select group bring economic and strategic benefits that can reflect in the company market valorization. However, the correlation between social, environmental and financial development is quite complex. In this context, this paper aims to verify whether the inclusion of an enterprise in DSJI list, which presupposes a high social and environmental performance, provides it with greater financial return. We use the case study method in order to investigate the existence of abnormal returns when disclosing the information of the company inclusion in the list, as well to analyze the hypothesis that market has positive expectations concerning to DSJI participation. This study included one hundred and fifty-four companies listed in DSJI that trade their shares on the New York Stock. The results show no effect and do not confirm the greater return hypothesis, but neither do they indicate a reduction in financial performance associated do this fact.

title: Cohort of Patients Referred for Brugada Syndrome Investigation in an Electrophysiology Service - 19-Year Registry

description: Abstract Background: Brugada syndrome (SBr) is an arrhythmic condition characterized by ST-T segment abnormalities in the right precordial leads associated with a high risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death. Local data regarding the clinical characteristics of patients with a typical electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern undergoing electrophysiological study are scarce. Objective: To evaluate patients with an ECG pattern suggestive of SBr referred for electrophysiological evaluation in a specialized center. Methods: Cohort study of patients referred for electrophysiological study because of an ECG pattern compatible with SBr between January 1998 and March 2017. Results: Of the 5506 procedures, 35 (0.64%) were for SBr investigation, 25 of which (71.42%) were performed in men. The mean age was 43.89 ± 13.1 years. The ECG patterns were as follows: type I, 22 (62.85%); type II, 12 (34.30%); and type III, 1 (2.85%). Twenty-three patients (65.7%) were asymptomatic, 6 (17.14%) had palpitations, 5 (14.3%) had syncope, and 3 (8.6%) had a family history of sudden death. Electrophysiological study induced ventricular tachyarrhythmias in 16 cases (45.7%), the mean ventricular refractory period being 228 ± 36 ms. Ajmaline / procainamide was used in 11 cases (31.4%), changing the ECG pattern to type I in 7 (63.6%). Sixteen cases (45.7%) received an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). In a mean 5-year follow-up, 1 of the 16 patients (6.25%) with ICD had appropriate therapy for ventricular fibrillation. There was no death. Other arrhythmias occurred in 4 (11.4%) cases. Conclusions: Most patients are men, and a type I ECG pattern is the main indication for electrophysiological study. Class IA drugs have a high ECG conversion rate. The ICD event rate was 6%.

title: Adoption of Quick Response and inventory management in fast fashion: two case studies in the state of Minas Gerais

description: Abstract The business model adopted by a company must be aligned with definition of the operational strategies that provide agility and flexibility needed for supplies, production, and distribution. Quick Response (QR) is a growing operational strategy in industries, and is intended to reduce the time spent in production stages, so that products can be developed a few weeks prior to the sales period. QR is particularly relevant to a business strategy called fast fashion, which requires high inventory turnover ratio, regular insertion of new products on points of sale, supply chain agility (SCA), and assertiveness in identifying trends. The purpose of this study is to identify how this strategy can become operational via QR and inventory management in two case studies conducted in the apparel industry in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This study adopted a qualitative approach with direct documentation as a research technique - the case study method. Results showed that one of the assessed companies operates according to the fast fashion strategy, whereas the other, due to lack of QR application and little efficiency in inventory management, was not successful in adopting this business strategy.

title: The role of bladder diverticula in the prevalence of acute urinary retention in patients with BPH who are candidates to surgery

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: The urinary bladder diverticula (BD) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a complication that can lead to urinary stasis, stone, urinary tract infection (UTI) and tumors. It's role in acute urinary retention (AUR) is not totally understood. Objectives: To determine the effect of BD size on AUR rates in patients with BPH candidates to surgery. Subjects and Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 47 patients with BPH and BD who underwent BPH surgery associated to complete bladder diverticulectomy from 2006 to 2016. We analyzed risk factors for AUR in patients with BD using univariate, multivariate and correlation analysis. Results: There was a difference in the size of the diverticula, with 6.8 cm vs. 4.5 cm among patients with and without AUR respectively (p=0.005). The ROC curve showed a correlation between the size of BD and the risk of AUR. The value of 5.15 cm presented a sensitivity of 73% and a specificity of 72%. The area under the curve was 0.75 (p=0.01). Comparing groups with BD &gt;5.0 cm vs. ≤5.0 cm, the AUR incidence was 74% and 27.8% respectively with an OR of 2.65 (1.20-5.85) (p=0.005). In the multivariate analysis, only the size of the diverticula reached statistical significance (p=0.012). Conclusions: The diameter of BD is an independent risk factor for AUR in patients with BPH and BD who are candidates to surgery. A diameter greater than 5.15 cm increases the risk of AUR.

title: Effects of Coexistence Hypertension and Type II Diabetes on Heart Rate Variability and Cardiorespiratory Fitness

description: Abstract Background: Type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is associated with cardiac autonomic dysfunction, which is an independent predictor of mortality in chronic diseases. However, whether the coexistence of systemic arterial hypertension (HTN) with DMT2 alters cardiac autonomic modulation remains unknown. Objective: To evaluate the influence of HTN on cardiac autonomic modulation and cardiorespiratory fitness in subjects with DMT2. Methods: 60 patients of both genders were evaluated and allocated to two groups: DMT2 patients (n = 32; 51 ± 7.5 years old) and DMT2 + HTN patients (n = 28; 51 ± 6.9 years old). RR intervals were obtained during rest in supine position. Linear and nonlinear indices of heart rate variability (HRV) were computed using Kubios HRV software. Pulmonary gas exchange was measured breath-by-breath, using a portable telemetric system during maximal incremental exercise testing on a cycle ergometer. Statistical analysis included Shapiro-Wilk test followed by Student’s t Test, Pearson correlation and linear regression. Results: We found that patients in the DMT2+HTN group showed lower values of mean RR intervals (801.1 vs 871.5 ms), Shannon entropy (3 vs 3.2) and fractal dimension SD 1 (9.5 vs 14.5), when contrasted with patients in the DMT2 group. Negative correlations were found between some HRV nonlinear indices and exercise capacity indices. Conclusion: HTN negatively affects the cardiac autonomic function in diabetic patients, who are already prone to develop autonomic dysfunction. Strategies are need to improve cardiac autonomic functionality in this population.
