title: Foreign and Domestic Franchise Chains in an Emerging Market: A Comparative Analysis

description: Abstract This article aims to analyze the differences between the process of establishing foreign franchises and those of domestic franchise chains operating in the Brazilian market. This process includes the installation, maintenance and expansion of chains. The theoretical review and theory developed are based on Agency Theory and Resource Scarcity Theory. A logistic regression with 147 chains of Brazilian franchises and 41 chains of foreign franchises operating in Brazil showed that foreign and domestic franchise chains differ in three stages of the establishment process: installation, maintenance and expansion. In addition, three semi-structured interviews were conducted with three franchisors from foreign chains. The results show that foreign franchises have a higher rate of investment and maintenance than Brazilian franchises, however, they exhibit a lower capacity for monitoring and control than Brazilian franchise chains. On the other hand, contrary to expectations, foreign franchise chains active in Brazil have a lower growth rate than domestic franchise chains.

title: EFFECTS OF CEMENTATION ON HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY AND ON MECHANICAL STRENGTH OF BINARY PACKING SYSTEMS

description: ABSTRACT This paper addresses the topic soil stabilization for forest roads applications and analyzes the influence of the hydrated lime in structuring the sand fraction of an artificial soil composed of the sand fractions of two natural soils, simulating natural process of cementation of sands and using binary packing systems. The study included the following topics: (i) characterization of the mechanical strength and hydraulic conductivity of binary systems of the artificial soil; and (ii) effect of hydrated lime in structuring binary packing systems of the artificial soil. Soil samples were submitted to chemical pre-treatment, to obtain clean sand fractions from the two sandy soils with particle diameters ranging from 0.053 to 2 mm, following sieving and separation of them in twenty-two classes with maximum (D)/minimum (d) ratios varying from 5.7 to 13.4. Sequentially, binary packing specimens of the artificial soil were prepared and then stabilized with 2% of a commercial hydrated lime. Next, the specimens were submitted to permeability and quasi-static cone penetration tests, in order to determine their hydraulic conductivity and cone tip resistance. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that: (i) in the artificial soil, an increase of D/d ratio led to an increase of cone tip resistance and decrease of hydraulic conductivity; and (ii) cementation with hydrated lime reduced the hydraulic conductivity and increased the cone tip resistance.

title: Profile and Professional Career of Graduates from the São Paulo State Family and Community Medicine Residency Programs

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to characterize the profile and professional career of graduates from the São Paulo State residency programs in Family and Community Medicine. Methods: A descriptive, crosssectional study with a quantitative approach, which characterized the profile of the 234 graduating medical residents from 17 São Paulo State residency programs in Family and Community Medicine (PRMFC) who completed residency between 2000 and 2009. Results: Of the 234 residents, 55.1% responded to the survey questionnaire, the majority (96.9%) were Brazilian, born in the state of São Paulo (71.2%), 58.1% were women; 88.4% were 39 years of age or younger, 89.1% lived in large urban centers and they tended to settle in the state of São Paulo (80.0%), where the residency was conducted. The doctors worked in the area of Family and Community Medicine (74.0%); 49.6% related to the Family Health Strategy. Staying in the area was favored more by those who, upon graduating, wanted to be family doctors (77.6%) than thos who did not (63.6%). Almost half of the graduates reported having two or three jobs and 99.2% continued their education after the residence. Interest in teaching was observed among 48.1% of the respondents who reported teaching in undergraduate and graduate courses, including medical residency programs, while a third of the respondents reported conducting research activities. Conclusion: A better understanding of the profile and whereabouts of trained primary health care professionals can contribute towards constructing an identity for family doctors, thereby strengthening this medical specialty. The study results indicate a favorable outlook for the Community and Family Medicine speciality in São Paulo, however this cannot be generalized for such an unequal health system in Brazil, even considering the improvements brought about by recent SUS management regulation measures. The literature reviewed and discussed shed light on the potential in the field of specialist training, but for undergraduate training, the effectiveness of these changes takes longer to become apparent.

title: SPATIAL STRUCTURE OF Theobroma subincanumMart. AND Theobromaspeciosum Willd. ex Spreng.IN THE PARQUE NACIONAL DO JURUENA, MATO GROSSO STATE, BRAZIL

description: ABSTRACT Analysis of the spatial distribution is a very useful tool to understand the ecological behavior of the species in that it provides information that underlies management strategies and influences the population structure. To study the horizontal structure of the species T. speciosum (Cacaui) and T. subincanum (Cupui) in the "Parque Nacional do Juruena", Mato Grosso state, a 200 x 160 m grid was implemented and divided into 40 adjacent 20 x 40 m subplots. All individuals of the species under study that had DBH &gt; 1 cm were measured. The following parameters were analyzed: number of individuals, density, total height, basal area, diametric distribution, and spatial distribution. The research sampled 165 T. speciosum trees (51.56 ind.ha-1) and 34 T. subincanum (10.62 ind.ha-1), with an average diameter of 6.72 cm and 12.44 respectively, the T. speciosum individuals showed an aggregated distribution pattern, while the T. subincanum individuals presented a random pattern. The diametric distribution of T. speciosum followed an exponential distribution in a reverse-J shaped pattern, behavior expected for a forest environment with little anthropic pressure, while T. subincanum did not follow the same pattern, though the species demonstrated to be well established in the area, with significant number of individuals in all diameter classes, thus,the results indicate the importance of conservation areas established in order to safeguard the natural environment from the pressures of anthropic actions, and also the need for studies in the region of the Amazon biome.

title: Organography of greenhouse and field accessions of wild Arachisspecies (section Arachis)

description: ABSTRACT Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a globally important oilseed crop, with important nutritional qualities, and a rich source of amino acids and protein. Another 80 species have been described in the genus Arachis, 64 of which are found in Brazil, and even though their morphology and agronomic traits remain largely unknown, they have been cultivated for forage and for landscaping and have great potential for breeding with cultivated peanut. Thus, the morphological characterization of wild Arachis species is essential for their conservation and use. In this study, we present a morphological and agronomic characterization of 29 diploid accessions of eleven wild Arachis species and one of the tetraploid A. monticola (section Arachis) with A and B genomes and determine their intra- and interspecific variability in greenhouse and field conditions. In total, 35 morphological descriptors were developed a priori from greenhouse accessions in the first crop year and used in field accessions in the second crop year. Significant differences in descriptors compiled in the greenhouse and the field support the use of different descriptors for different experimental conditions. PCA analysis showed that the distribution of accessions accorded with the taxonomy of species. The ten morphological descriptors that were important in differentiating section Arachis accessions were seed length, lateral branch length, right apical leaflet length, right apical leaflet width, height and diameter of main stem, branch color, standard petal base color, number of flowers, and presence of bristles on rachis.

title: Comparison of Arterial Repair through the Suture, Suture with Fibrin or Cyanoacrylate Adhesive in Ex-Vivo Porcine Aortic Segment

description: Abstract Introduction: Tissue adhesives can be used as adjacent to sutures to drop or avoid bleeding in cardiovascular operations. Objective: To verify the efficiency of fibrin and cyanoacrylate adhesive to seal arterial sutures and if the adhesives penetrate through suture line to the inner of arteries. Methods: 20 abdominal aorta segments of pigs were divided into two groups according to the adhesive which would be used as adjacent to the suture. In every arterial segment an arteriotomy was done, followed by a conventional artery closure. Afterwards a colloidal fluid was injected inside the arterial segment with a simultaneous intravascular pressure monitoring up to a fluid leakage through the suture. This procedure was repeated after application of one of the adhesives on the suture in order to check if the bursting pressure increases. The inner aorta segments also were analyzed in order to check if there was intraluminal adhesive penetration. Results: In Suture 1 group, the mean arterial pressure sustained by the arterial suture reached 86±5.35 mmHg and after the fibrin adhesive application reached 104±11.96 (P&lt;0.002). In the Suture 2 group, the mean arterial pressure sustained by the suture reached 83±2.67 mmHg and after the cyanoacrylate adhesive application reached 152±14.58 mmHg (P&lt;0.002). Intraluminal adhesive penetration has not been noticed. Conclusion: There was a significant rise in the bursting pressure when tissue adhesives were used as adjacent to arterial suture, and this rise was higher if the cyanoacrylate adhesive was used. In addition, the adhesives do not penetrate through the suture line into the arteries.

title: Comprehensive Care in Health Teaching: A Systematic Review

description: ABSTRACT Transforming the disjointed and individualistic state-of-affairs of the Brazilian health service is promoted by the professional training geared toward comprehensive care and a collective interest for the democratization of health. The concept of integrality in relation to care permeates the web of health actions with effective coordination between teaching and service and links between knowledge and the actions within the scope of comprehensive care competences. The aim of this study is to review publications from 2010 to June 2016 in relation to comprehensive health care in teaching health sciences. The chosen method for the study was a systematic review conducted through Prisma-P. Article searches were carried out in the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) and PubMed databases. Once the inclusion and exclusion criteria had been applied, the resulting 35 articles were evaluated by two reviewers who used the Critical Appraisal Checklist for Interpretative and Critical Research (JBI Qari), corresponding to 32 studies included in this review. Analysis of the studies gave rise to four categories: training under the axis of comprehensive care comprehensive care from the students’ perspective, comprehensive care from the teachers’ perspective, and the teaching of comprehensive care. Based on this systematic review, a conceptual search model for integrality was developed, with teaching/training through higher education institutions on one side, and settings for health care practices/services on the other, that is, where health care actions take place. It is essential to develop innovative curricular proposals linked into the principles of the Brazilian Unified Health System and public health policies, to support actions geared to the needs of society, and subsequently help health professionals attain competencies associated to comprehensive care. The model is shaped as a circle of actions that are juxtaposed and intersecting, and strengthen the teaching-learning process. This model breaks away from isolated actions, in which teaching and service are disconnected and tend to weaken the proposals and the expected results. Isolated actions are often implemented in a holistic manner, but have only a superficial effect without interlinking actions that result in comprehensive care. It was concluded that comprehensive care must be consolidated through daily professional practices that are transversally overlap, and be promoted as an educational principle in training.
