Association of nephrotic syndrome with intestinal lymphangiectasia.

The occurrence of exudative enteropathy in children with the nephrotic syndrome was first reported by Nussle et al. in 1961, but no intestinal pathology has previously been described in nephrotic children, whether with or without protein-losing enteropathy. The finding in small bowel biopsy specimens of intestinal lymphangiectasia, in 4 of 7 cases of nephrotic syndrome, suggests that this association might not be uncommon.

Pobreza e o Sistema de Seguridade Social Rural no Brasil

This work aims at measuring the impact of the monetary benefits from social security retirement on poverty using panel data for the rural regions of the Brazilian states in the 1995-2005 period. The analysis is performed by controlling for other poverty determinants, such as the per capita agricultural product, income distribution, measured by the GINI index, the average of school years and the number of unemployed people over 10 years of age. The method of analysis relies on a dynamic econometric model which is estimated by the Generalized Method of Moments system, developed by Arellano e Bond (1991) and Blundell e Bond (1998). The results suggest that the retirement benefits have no direct impact on rural poverty in Brazil, whereas the average of school years and the per capita agricultural product are relevant factors for reducing rural poverty. On the other hand, the number of unemployed people has a positive effect on the increase of poverty, while the effect of income concentration is statistically insignificant.

Estudo da pobreza multidimensional no Estado do Ceará

Este artigo tem como objetivo geral discutir sobre o tema Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho e a sua relacao com a motivacao dentro da empresa Comagro Pecas e Servicos LTDA, fazendo uma abordagem sobre a importância da motivacao como um fator que contribui para Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho e uma maior produtividade dentro da organizacao, visando sempre manter os seus colaboradores bem capacitados para exercer as funcoes.A apicultura vem ganhando cada vez mais espaco no agronegocio brasileiro por apresentar manejo simples e pratico e demandar baixo investimento inicial em relacao as demais atividades agropecuarias. Esta atividade tem contribuido significativamente para o desenvolvimento local tanto na microrregiao do Cariri quanto no municipio de Moreilândia, que constituem as areas de estudo deste trabalho, garantindo renda aos apicultores, proporcionando geracao de postos de trabalho e preservacao ambiental.

Relación entre la desigualdad de la renta y el crecimiento económico en Brasil: 1995-2012

This work aims to verify the correlation between income inequality and economic growth in Brazilian states using the Kuznets inverted U hypothesis for the time period from 1995 to 2012. The assumption of the inverted U hypothesis – Kuznets (1955) – signals that in the short term, there is a positive correlation between income inequality and per capita income levels. In the long term, however, the inverted U relationship emerges, as the relationship is reversed. These types of income inequality indicators, as well as the Gini and Theil indices and dynamic panel data econometrics, were included in this work to empirically examine the relationship between income inequality and economic growth. This work confirms the Kuznets hypothesis in Brazilian states, among other findings.

Produtividade e eficiência no setor agropecuário do nordeste brasileiro

Esse artigo analisa a produtividade total dos fatores na regiao Nordeste do Brasil, a regiao brasileira que possui limitacoes em termos de recursos naturais para producao agricola. Estima-se a fronteira de producao e determina-se o indice de produtividade total dos fatores (PTF) de Malmquist, o qual e decomposto nos indices de variacao de eficiencia e variacao tecnologica. As conclusoes indicam que o crescimento da PTF nao foi homogeneo entre os estados nordestinos e que o setor agropecuario obteve ganhos de produtividade crescentes entre 1970 a 2006.

Eficiência Produtiva das Fazendas de Carcinicultura no Estado do Ceará

A eficiencia produtiva da carcinicultura tem sido apontada na literatura como um fator importante para a consolidacao desta atividade no Nordeste do Brasil. Para auxiliar a tomada de decisao na fazenda e a formulacao de politicas para o setor, esta pesquisa investigou o grau e os fatores determinantes da eficiencia tecnica na producao de camarao no estado do Ceara. Com base nos dados do Censo da Carcinicultura, de 2011, coletados pela Associacao Brasileira de Criadores de Camarao (ABCC), 100 fazendas foram caracterizadas por um conjunto de variaveis explicativas que descrevem os insumos empregados na producao e a forma de gerenciamento das fazendas. Para analisar os dados, foram estimados modelos de fronteira de eficiencia de producao estocastica. Os resultados mostraram que quase a totalidade das fazendas (99%) pode ser considerada ineficiente do ponto de vista tecnico. O fator que determinou a ineficiencia das fazendas da amostra foi a densidade media de estocagem, pois as outras variaveis testadas como causadoras de ineficiencia (que foram: potencia de aeradores por area, recebimento de assistencia tecnica e uso de bandejas de alimentacao) nao foram significantes a um nivel de significância de 5%. Com isso, conclui-se que estas variaveis nao geram ineficiencia no modelo.

MENSURAÇÃO DA DESIGUALDADE EDUCACIONAL ENTRE OS MUNICÍPIOS NORDESTINOS

O objetivo deste artigo e analisar a desigualdade educacional da Regiao Nordeste com base nos dados do Censo Demografico de 2010. Para este fim, foi calculado o Indice de Gini Educacional (IGE) para a parcela da populacao economicamente ativa com 15 anos ou mais de idade, residentes nos 1793 municipios nordestinos. Foram empregadas as tecnicas de Analise Exploratoria de Dados Espaciais (AEDE) e Analise de Regressao Espacial para detectar a importância de algumas variaveis relacionadas ao contexto das familias, do sistema educacional e da economia dos municipios sobre o Indice de Gini Educacional. Verificou-se que o estado da Bahia apresentou a menor desigualdade educacional no Nordeste, com IGE de 0,394, enquanto o maior indice de desigualdade foi detectado no estado de Alagoas (0,467). Quanto a analise espacial, foi detectada dependencia espacial no tocante a desigualdade educacional entre os municipios e seus vizinhos. Constatou-se tambem que a renda per capita, a frequencia escolar liquida, a presenca de IES e o PIB per capita municipal contribuem na reducao da desigualdade, e que o baixo impacto de variaveis relacionadas ao sistema educacional pode ser atribuido ao seu efeito no longo prazo e, portanto, ressalta-se a importância do investimento e as politicas publicas educacionais, que so terao reflexo na reducao da desigualdade educacional dos municipios no futuro.

Pruebas en pobreza multidimensional del norte de Brasil

This paper aims to present new perspectives for the understanding on multidimensional poverty in northern Brazil in the years 2006-2013, in order to assist the government in developing policies focused on fighting poverty and advancing the development process. The study used a methodology built by Bourguignon and Chakravarty (2003), which presents an alternative way of measuring the multidimensionality of poverty. The data was collected from the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) and the results of six dimensions analyzed revealed a reduction in the proportion of multidimensional poor of the northern population, from 30.71% in 2006 to 25.79% in 2013. As for isolated analysis of metropolitan regions in urban and rural areas, it was found that poverty was more intense in rural areas.This paper aims to present new perspectives for the understanding on multidimensional poverty in northern Brazil in the years 2006-13, in order to assist the government in developing policies focused on fighting poverty and advancing the development process.
