title: Measuring human capital: methodological framework for assessing competitiveness and economic development

description: ABSTRACT This article focused on the relationship between human capital (HC) and competitiveness in Russia. The study examined (1) the impact of investments in knowledge-intensive industries on the socio-economic development; (2) the impact of the share of employees; (3) the impact of religious factors on HC; and (4) the problems of forming H at innovative enterprises. At the national level, the investments in knowledge-intensive industries exert no effect on the country’s socio-economic development. The GDP growth was proved to be directly related to the people’s desire to improve their qualifications. The impact of cultural, educational, and health factors differ across regions.

title: The anatomical model collection at the Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto’s Museum of Pharmacy

description: Abstract The Ouro Preto School of Pharmacy was founded in 1839 and was the first pharmacy school in Latin America independent from a medical school. At the end of the nineteenth century, it had a collection of French anatomical models made by Deyrolle, Dr. Auzoux, and Vasseur-Tramod, many produced from wax or papier-mâché. This project involved recovering, identifying, cleaning, restoring, and exhibiting seventeen models found in various facilities from Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto. The models in good condition were exhibited in the Museum of Pharmacy (where this work was carried out) as part of the teaching collection for the Ouro Preto pharmacy course.

title: Brazil’s economic growth and real (div)convergence from a very long-term perspective (1822-2019): An historical appraisal

description: ABSTRACT The reconstruction of the economic history of Brazil since independence from Portugal (1822) may lead to a new understanding of its economic growth. The deep-rooted idea that Brazil could have done better means there is a need to delve into each phase of its development. In this paper, we provide a very long-run perspective (1822-2019) of Brazil’s economic growth and process of real convergence. On the one hand, this review indicates that structural changes observed in the middle of the 20th century were crucial in promoting the country’s growth and real convergence with technologically advanced countries. On the other hand, poor institutional conditions and deficient human capital formation have emerged since colonial times as critical factors underlying Brazil’s inability to establish robust and sustainable economic growth.

title: Portuguese proficiency assessment for citizenship in Brazil

description: ABSTRACT This article aims at discussing the use of proficiency exams in international migration contexts, with a focus on naturalization processes in Brazil. More specifically, at analyzing the Brazilian legal provisions on this matter since the mid-twentieth century and at assessing the adequacy of instruments adopted in the country for proving proficiency in Portuguese in certain modalities of naturalization. Special attention is given to the Certificate of Proficiency in Portuguese for Foreigners (Celpe-Bras), which has been misused in this context since 2018 and, as a consequence, has hampered the process of ordinary naturalization. Considering that the monolingual ideology underlying the proficiency requirement in question can hardly be legally overcome, we advocate for the development of a valid, reliable and practical test for this context. Based on a needs analysis of the target group (Silva, 2019) and in an expanded language education perspective (Cavalcanti, 2013), this test could contribute to the politicization of candidates and to the promotion of cultural and linguistic plurality. In order to potentialize positive washback, it should be integrated with a course of Portuguese as a Welcoming Language, fostered by a public policy at the national level, supporting the guarantee of the right to learn the official Brazilian language.

title: Variation in palm tree plastidial simple sequence repeats, characterization, and potential use

description: Abstract Palm trees are the third most important botanical family for humans because of their potential use in oils, drugs, cosmetics, food, and feed. Despite their importance, little information on their genetics and molecular variations exists, and a better understanding could contribute to breeding programs. This study aimed to determine the amount, distribution, and organization of plastid simple sequence repeats (cpSSRs) and their potential use in breeding in 52 species belonging to the order Arecales. Plastid genomes were analyzed to identify cpSSRs according to their nature, position, and presence in genic or intergenic regions. Primer pairs were validated in silico for amplification and polymorphisms in these SSRs and their dissimilarities were evaluated. The results showed a high frequency of mononucleotide repeats in the intergenic regions. Approximately 76 primer pairs were generated and are suggested for further studies. The dissimilarity analysis of cpSSRs showed that mono- and trinucleotides were highly abundant in plastid SSRs.

title: Character Speeches in Brazilian Soap Operas: if They Make People Laugh, They Don’t Represent Us

description: ABSTRACT: Knowing the scope of television for the dissemination of information, entertainment, and ideologies, this paper investigates the characterization of two characters’ speech features from two Brazilian soap opera works: O Sétimo Guardião ( 2018), and Verdades Secretas ( 2015), seeking to recognize if the representation can lead viewers to a negative evaluation of characters based on how they express themselves by speaking, or if the representation legitimizes speech as mark of identity. We based the analyses on the Sociolinguistics studies, especially those of Labov ( 2008), Pagotto ( 2004), Bortoni-Ricardo ( 2009, 2011), and Bagno ( 2015). By using qualitative research following the method proposed by Bortoni-Ricardo ( 2009), in which the analyzed speakers are allocated in points of imaginary lines according to their linguistic expression, especially in the “urbanization continuum”, we could conclude that one of the television narratives brings caricature traits, providing opportunities for negative evaluations, whereas the other brings out representation since it reliably shows the represented identities.

title: Wolff-Parkinson-White Presenting as QRS Alternans and Other Differential Diagnoses in a Large Pre-Participation ECG Screening Cohort

description: Abstract Background Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a proarrhythmic condition that may require restriction from strenuous activities and is characterized by ECG signs, including delta waves. We observed cases of intermittent WPW patterns presenting as QRS alternans (‘WPW alternans’) in a large pre-participation ECG screening cohort of young men reporting for military conscription. Objectives We aimed to determine the WPW alternans pattern, case characteristics, and the prevalence of other relevant differential diagnoses presenting as QRS alternans in a pre-participation setting. Methods One hundred twenty-five thousand one hundred fifty-eight prospective male military recruits were reviewed from January 2016 to December 2019. A review of electronic medical records identified cases of WPW alternans and WPW patterns or syndrome. Reviewing electronic medical records identified cases of relevant differential diagnoses that might cause QRS alternans. Results Four individuals (2.2%) had WPW alternans out of 184 individuals with a final diagnosis of WPW pattern or syndrome. Two of these individuals manifested symptoms or ECG findings consistent with supraventricular tachycardia. The overall prevalence of WPW alternans was 0.003%, and the prevalence of WPW was 0.147%. WPW alternans represented 8.7% of individuals presenting with QRS alternans, and QRS alternans had a prevalence of 0.037% in the entire population. Conclusions WPW alternans is a variant of intermittent WPW, which comprised 2.2% of WPW cases in our pre-participation screening cohort. It does not necessarily indicate a low risk for supraventricular tachycardia. It must be recognized at ECG screening and distinguished from other pathologies that also present with QRS alternans.

title: Current equilibrium exchange rate: methodology and estimations for Latin American countries

description: ABSTRACT This paper proposes a methodology for the estimation of the current account equilibrium exchange rate - the exchange rate that guarantees the intertemporal current account equilibrium for a country. Moreover, the methodology is tested throughout appropriate econometric technics (VECM Models) for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia, using quarterly data from around 2000 (according to data availability for each country) to 2020. The model includes both long-term structural variables such as terms of trade, goods and service trade as percentage of GDP and GDP per capita as well short term policy variables such as interest rate differential and EMBI plus. Apart from proposing an innovative methodology for estimating the current account equilibrium exchange rate, the paper brings important insights in terms of chronicle and cyclical appreciation (depreciation) of the exchange rate in LA countries. In addition, it shows high correlation between the exchange rate negative (positive) misalignments and the current account deficits (surpluses) in the countries analyzed.

title: Interprofessional education in undergraduate health courses: systematic review

description: Abstract: Introduction: Interprofessional Education (IPE) seeks to develop collaborative practice among health professionals to improve patient care. Objective: This systematic review exploits the non-punctual IPE strategies in undergraduate health courses, identifying their potential and weaknesses. Method: The search included articles published in the LILACS, COCHRANE, CINAHL, EMBASE and MEDLINE. The research question was defined by the PICO anagram: studies were selected that included at least two undergraduate health courses, one of them in Medicine, and that reported a minimum educational strategy of 15 hours and its review. Abstracts published in congresses, opinions, editorials, and systematic reviews were excluded. Results: There have been 28 reviewed studies published between 2005-2019, 31% of which have been in the last two years. The dominant themes were simulation (36%) or the use of combined methods (29%) in the assessment of student attitudes, understanding of health professionals’ roles, teamwork, communication, and knowledge in response to IPE interventions. Studies in the Domains - Roles and responsibilities (75%) and teamwork (64%) predominated. The approach to values and ethics (32%); communication (28%) was less frequent. 18 articles (64%) had two or more objectives and six articles (18%) sought to study the four domains of IPE together. Among the interventions used as teaching strategies, 36% (10 studies) were simulation, 29% (8 studies) combined methods, 18% (5 studies) clinical practice (collaborative work in outpatient units or wards), 14% (4 studies) direct observation (shadowing), 11% problem-based learning, and 2 online learning studies (e-learning) and workshops. The overall quality of the included studies was low, meeting two to five of the six quality criteria. Blind peer reviewing was not cited in 25 publications. Collaborative work in real settings is described as the most efficient. Conclusion: IPE has been incorporated in the process of healthcare training and multiple results-based competence optimizes effective relationship development and the abilities needed in the collaborative practice. The fragility of the articles indicates that the interprofessional education of students is still a great challenge for educational institutions.
