O objetivo desse trabalho foi obter um modelo que estime o tempo até a re-hospitalização de pacientes com esquizofrenia tratados por diferentes tipos de antipsicóticos. Essa informação é de grande importância, pois pode ser utilizada como uma medida de efetividade do medicamento e então auxiliar o psiquiatra na escolha do melhor tratamento a ser utilizado. A análise considerou uma amostra de 132 pacientes com esquizofrenia e foi realizada utilizando o modelo de riscos proporcionais de Cox. Toda a análise foi realizada pelo software livre R.
Forest-dwellers in the Brazilian Amazon public forests share the management of the territory and natural resources with governmental agencies, subjecting themselves to State rules. This study aims to evaluate the perception of stakeholders about the autonomy of traditional communities to carry out community timber forest management (CFM) in two federal protected areas. A Swot analysis revealed mismatches in priorities among stakeholder groups (Communities, Government and Partners). Four autonomy parameters were evaluated by 111 stakeholders using a satisfaction questionnaire. Communities and Government had similar perceptions of the autonomy of communities to develop CFM, while Partners were pessimistic. Stakeholders showed greater satisfaction with communities' social organization than with their business management ability. Licensing, operational tools and administrative knowledge were perceived as bottlenecks for community enterprises. Nevertheless, targeted public policies and a minimum regulatory requirement for CFM may guarantee community autonomy to maintain their way of life and make their forest enterprises viable. ; Forest-dwellers in the Brazilian Amazon public forests share the management of the territory and natural resources with governmental agencies, subjecting themselves to State rules.

Este artigo propõe um método estatístico para avaliar a discordância entre duas medidas quantitativas, quando as mesmas seguem uma distribuição normal. Este método consiste em realizar um teste de hipóteses no coeficiente de um modelo de regressão simples sem intercepto. Para ilustrar esse método e comparar com outros métodos que são erroneamente utilizados (tais como o teste t-pareado ou correlação de Pearson), foram utilizados dados artificiais da literatura e dados simulados. Cabe ressaltar que, enquanto os Coeficientes de Concordância de Kendall e o Coeficiente de Correlação Intraclasse medem a concordância entre duas medidas quantitativas, este novo método é uma alternativa para situações cujo interesse é comprovar que duas medidas são discordantes. Este trabalho também apresenta a implementação computacional do método no software livre R. Por último, foi mostrado que o método proposto cumpriu o seu papel, mesmo quando os outros procedimentos (erroneamente utilizados)falharam.
