Inovações organizacionais e tecnológicas constantemente desafiam tomadores de decisão e os papéis desempenhados por estes. Este é o pano de fundo do caso de ensino ora em tela. Nele, a partir do relato de representantes trabalhistas, busca-se apresentar um dilema imposto por um contexto industrial adverso que exigiu criatividade e flexibilidade dos tomadores de decisão, sejam eles representantes da organização ou dos trabalhadores. Dessa forma, busca-se colocar o aluno no papel de liderança empresarial ou sindical a fim de que desenvolva seu pensamento criativo e encontre soluções inovadoras que muitas vezes desafiam os papéis tradicionalmente desempenhados pelos agentes organizacionais. O dilema que se apresenta implica em necessidade de trabalho em equipe e capacidade de criação de consenso. O caso privilegia um ponto de vista nem sempre enfatizado no mundo acadêmico, o ponto de vista sindical.

Procuraremos nesse artigo fazer um balanço de algumas das principais teses existentes na literatura sobre as relações entre Internet e política e, a partir do exame crítico de tais teses, abordar problemas referentes ao impacto da Internet no funcionamento da democracia representativa, bem como relativos ao uso que os políticos e instituições políticas do Paraná fazem dessa ferramenta para divulgar suas atividades e interagir com o cidadão comum.

The way in which group fitness instructors observe participants has a great influence on their pedagogical intervention. Based on the above, the main objective of this research is to characterize and compare their gaze patterns according to their training and professional experience. Twenty group fitness instructors of choreographed classes participated, aged between 18 and 42 years old, and for the comparison, four groups were created. Eye movements were captured with TOBII Pro Glasses 3, and data were coded and analyzed using the TOBII Pro Lab software. For the characterization of the gaze patterns, descriptive statistics were used in terms of count (f/m) and duration (s/m), while the comparison was performed using a one-way ANOVA test. More trained and experienced instructors tend to look at participants less, in count (80.59 ± 0.74) and duration (17.74 ± 0.71), with significant differences between the groups in some areas of interest (head, lower body, and other). There are also significant differences in the total number of eye fixations (F = 34.614; p = 0.001; η2 = 0.866; effect size very high). In conclusion, and projecting future works, it is important to understand how these gaze patterns are related to pedagogical behaviors in general or based on some specific factors (e.g., pedagogical feedback).

AbstractThis paper provides evidence on the role of non-base wage components as a channel for firms to adjust labour costs in the event of adverse shocks. It uses data from a firm-level survey for 25 European countries that covers the period 2010–2013. We find that firms subject to nominal wage rigidities, which prevent them from adjusting base wages, are more likely to cut non-base wage components when they are hit by negative shocks. Firms thus use non-base wage components as a strategic margin to overcome base wage rigidity. We also show that while non-base wage components exhibit some degree of downward rigidity this is smaller than that observed for base wages.

Reuma.pt is supported by unrestricted research grants from Abbott, Bristol Myers Squibb, Merck Sharp and Dohme, Pfizer, Roche and UCB Pharma. HC received a grant from Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia (FCT), Harvard Medical School-Portugal Program, HMSP-ICS/SAU-ICT/0002/2010. ; Introduction: Since June 2008, Portuguese rheu -matologists have been collecting on a routine basis, data into the nationwide Reuma.pt, the Rheu -matic Diseases Portuguese Register from the Portuguese Society of Rheumatology (SPR), which includes rheumatic patients (rheumatoid arthritis - RA, ankylosing spondylitis - AS, psoriatic arthritis - PsA and juvenile idiopathic arthritis - JIA) recei -ving biological therapies or patients receiving synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). The aim of this publication is to describe the stru cture of Reuma.pt and the population registered since June 2008. Methods: Demographic and anthropometric data, li fe style habits, work status, co-morbidities, disea -se activity and functional assessment scores, previous and current therapies, adverse events codified by the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Acti -vities (MedDRA), reasons for discontinuation and laboratory measurements are registered at each vi -sit. The platform is based on a structured electronic medical record linked to a SQL Server database. All Rheumatology Departments assigned to the Portuguese National Health Service (n=21), 2 Military Hospitals (Lisboa and Porto), 1 public-private Institution and 6 private centers adhered to the Register. Until now, 18 centers have entered data into Reuma.pt. Results: By January 2011, 3438 patients and 16130 visits had been registered. 2162 (63%) were RA patients, 700 of them treated with biological agents and 1462 with synthetic DMARDs. From the 515 (15%) AS patients, 297 were medicated with biological and 218 with non-biological therapies. 293 (8%) were PsA patients, 151 treated with biological drugs and 142 with other treatment strategies. 368 (11%) had the diagnosis of JIA, 68 ...

The literature proves an evident association between indoor radon exposure and lung cancer, even at low doses. This study brings a new approach to the study of children's exposure to radon by aiming to evaluate exposure to indoor radon concentrations in nursery and primary schools from two districts in Portugal (Porto and Bragança), considering different influencing factors (occupation patterns, classroom floor level, year of the buildings' construction and soil composition of the building site), as well as the comparison with IAQ standard values for health protection. Fifteen nursery and primary schools in the Porto and Bragança districts were considered: five nursery schools for infants and twelve for pre-schoolers (seven different buildings), as well as eight primary schools. Radon measurements were performed continuously. The measured concentrations depended on the building occupation, classroom floor level and year of the buildings' construction. Although they were in general within the Portuguese legislation for IAQ, exceedances to international standards were found. These results point out the need of assessing indoor radon concentrations not only in primary schools, but also in nursery schools, never performed in Portugal before this study. It is important to extend the study to other microenvironments like homes, and in time to estimate the annual effective dose and to assess lifetime health risks.
