A reforma Administrativa e um espaço aberto para se estabelecer uma política de informação documental para o setor público onde as decisões deverão deixar de ter o caráter casuístico e passar para um estágio de ação decisória baseada na informação, tendo em vista a necessidade de continuidade dos programas e de sua não descaracterização a cada gestão. O Governo da Nova República trouxe de volta ao cidadão brasileiro o desejo de lutar e a esperança de vencer os obstáculos que o impedem de ter uma vida saudável. Exemplo disso e o empenho de todos no sucesso da nova política econômica adotada pelo Governo. A esperança de mudanças e sentida em todos os segmentos da sociedade. Neste cenário, surge o Plano de Reforma da Administração Federal com o objetivo de agilizar a máquina estatal, de valorizar o servidor público e de tornar o setor público eficiente, como bem o diz o professor Belmiro Siqueira.
Retrata a situação do setor de documentação, responsável pela preservação da memória institucional e difusão dos conhecimentos produzidos no processo de gestão pública frente às recentes reformas administrativas. A tarefa que ora se coloca para a administração pública consiste, praticamente, em construir um novo setor de informação documental no poder Executivo, garantindo, assim, preceito constitucional de facilitar o acesso à informação.
A computable general equilibrium model linked to a microsimulation model is applied to assess the potential short-term effects on the South African economy of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With a particular focus on distributional outcomes, two simulations are run, a mild and a severe scenario. The findings show significant evidence of decline in economic growth and employment, with the decline harsher for the severe scenario. The microeconomic results show that the pandemic moves the income distribution curve such that more households fall under the poverty line while at the same time, inequality declines. The latter result is driven by the disproportionate decline in incomes of richer households while the poorest of the poor are cushioned by government social grants that are kept intact during the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is still unfolding and its economic modelling as well as the data used to operationalise the model will need to be updated and improved upon as more information about the disease and the economy becomes available.
ABSTRACT Since December 2019, the world has been fighting the SARS-CoV2 virus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). Little is known about vaccines and forms of treatment at this point. However, the importance of preventing transmission is very clear, and one of the main measures is social isolation. Major sports tournaments, including soccer championships, have been suspended or cancelled due to COVID-19, on the grounds of our understanding of the importance of social isolation. Accordingly, large clubs have handed over their stadiums for the construction of field hospitals, and have encouraged health care by providing guidance on hygiene and social distancing. The involvement of soccer in the prevention of this pandemic is due to the fact that its managers understand the importance of this sport in the process, and its influence on fans and players. Over the years, soccer has incorporated scientific and technological knowledge into the game, which has frequently served as a role model for other types of sport and for the population. Therefore, in these extreme times of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is no reason to believe it would be any different, and standpoints taken by soccer teams serve as an example and reiterate their role in the educational commitment to society and respect for government authorities. As a result, a protocol was drawn up for the resumption of training, in which all recommendations to be followed by players, managers/backroom staff and employees are in accordance with official health agencies of the national and international government. In other words, the resumption of training is subject to the authorization of government authorities. Level of evidence III; Descriptive study.

This article presents lessons on transcendence, from research on the socioeconomic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic to policy, using experiences from Zimbabwe. The case study parallels literature on knowledge translation that suggests that the challenge of evidence-informed policy is more a problem of evidence production than evidence translation. The positioning, influence, and leverage of the research team was predominantly built on a platform of personal relationship legacies, academic legitimacy, and networks. The data and model co-produced with state actors could influence policy decisions and behaviours because they were designed with and for policymakers to assist with policy decisions. The results had direct implications for Covid-19 response measures, informing policymakers on what the impact on different groups is likely to be and indicating what policy measures could do to address impacts. Knowledge co‑production also proved pivotal in reducing some of the concerns around the limitations of risk‑based modelling in a crisis.
O presente trabalho visa apresentar a evolução histórica das ações ambientais, especificamente do ponto de vista da gestão ambiental no Brasil. Realizando para isso uma pesquisa bibliográfica descritiva em periódicos nacionais e internacionais, livros e arquivos referentes à temáticas aludida. Observaram-se avanços na implantação de ações de preservação ambiental principalmente na década de 90. Incluso o Brasil, principalmente depois da ECO 92, gerando uma pressão no sentido de minimizar as ações de impacto negativo sobre o ambiente. Como a criação da norma ISO 14000 em 1996, os de gestão ambiental passaram a ter uma referência internacional, ganhando adesão crescente de degradação ambiental em detrimento do desenvolvimento sustentando, levando à falência do meio ambiente e da sociedade Mundial e brasileira.
The degree of development and operability of the indicators for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) using Descriptor 1 (D1) Biological Diversity was assessed. To this end, an overview of the relevance and degree of operability of the underlying parameters across 20 European countries was compiled by analysing national directives, legislation, regulations, and publicly available reports. Marked differences were found between countries in the degree of ecological relevance as well as in the degree of implementation and operability of the parameters chosen to indicate biological diversity. The best scoring EU countries were France, Germany, Greece and Spain, while the worst scoring countries were Italy and Slovenia. No country achieved maximum scores for the implementation of MSFD D1. The non-EU countries Norway and Turkey score as highly as the top-scoring EU countries. On the positive side, the chosen parameters for D1 indicators were generally identified as being an ecologically relevant reflection of Biological Diversity. On the negative side however, less than half of the chosen parameters are currently operational. It appears that at a pan-European level, no consistent and harmonized approach currently exists for the description and assessment of marine biological diversity. The implementation of the MSFD Descriptor 1 for Europe as a whole can therefore at best be marked as moderately successful.

Primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is a neurological disease characterized by calcium phosphate deposits in the basal ganglia and other brain regions and has thus far been associated with SLC20A2, PDGFB or PDGFRB mutations. We identified in multiple families with PFBC mutations in XPR1, a gene encoding a retroviral receptor with phosphate export function. These mutations alter phosphate export, implicating XPR1 and phosphate homeostasis in PFBC. ; Lung GO Sequencing Project ; Lung GO Sequencing Project ; Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Sequencing Project ; Broad GO Sequencing Project ; Seattle GO Sequencing Project ; Heart GO Sequencing Project ; United States Department of Health & Human Services ; National Institutes of Health (NIH) - USA ; NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders & Stroke (NINDS) ; Association Francaise contre les Myopathies ; Ligue Nationale contre le Cancer (Comite de l'Herault) ; Fondation pour la Recherche Medicale ; FEDER European Union Languedoc-Roussillon grant ; National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke ; Informatics Center for Neurogenetics and Neurogenomics ; Fondation pour la Recherche Medicale ; Institut National du Cancer (INCA) France ; Labex GR-Ex ; Labex EpiGenMed ; French National Research Agency (ANR) ; Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale (Inserm) ; European Commission ; Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) ; INNOPHARMA project MINECO-USC ; Servizo Galego de Saúde (SERGAS) ; National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) ; United States Department of Health & Human Services ; National Institutes of Health (NIH) - USA ; NIH National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) ; United States Department of Health & Human Services ; National Institutes of Health (NIH) - USA ; NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders & Stroke (NINDS) ; University Hospital of Rouen ; French CNR-MAJ ; United States Department of Health & Human Services ; National Institutes of Health (NIH) - USA ; NIH National Heart Lung & Blood Institute (NHLBI) ; United States Department of Health & Human Services ; National Institutes of Health (NIH) - USA ; NIH National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) ; United States Department of Health & Human Services ; National Institutes of Health (NIH) - USA ; NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders & Stroke (NINDS)
