Nonlocal dispersal of dengue in the state of Bahia

Abstract Dengue is an arbovirus that has spread throughout different, especially tropical and subtropical, regions of the world. This disease affects humans through mosquito bites. The occurrence of dengue epidemics has increased alarmingly over the last three decades. To detect a pattern regarding the dispersal process of dengue, this research presents a computational model based on three pillars: complex networks, time-varying graphing (TVG), and time-series synchronisation. To establish the synchronisation networks, the Motif-Synchronisation method with TVG was applied to a time series analysis of georeferenced dengue incidence data from the municipalities of Bahia from 2001 to 2016. After applying the model presented in this work, the dispersal behaviour patterns of these epidemics were found amongst the municipalities within Bahia, when synchronised, in epidemic moments. The results indicate that the incidence of dengue is not directly related to the distance between municipalities; rather, a time relation exists regarding the development of the vector and its capacity to transmit disease. The purpose of this model is to contribute to public disease interventions by providing early information.

Knowledge sharing in an automobile project: Brazil's Ford Ecosport

The experience lived by a project development team for the new EcoSport at Ford Motor in Camacari, Bahia was investigated regarding the knowledge sharing between its members. The goal was to evaluate that process, aimed at improving the team’s work on new projects. The research focus was placed on two questions: a) what modes of knowledge sharing were preferably practiced. b) What was the effectiveness of these modes on the development process? To answer these questions, we conducted a survey among team’s members followed by an analysis of their social network. The research found isolated members or with few ties between them. The network was also isolated in relation to other important actors of the company. The modes of socialization for capturing knowledge and externalization for the transmission of knowledge were the most preferred and effective by the majority of the team members. The authors concluded that it is highly recommended to increase the balance of the knowledge sharing via the stimulation of modes of combination and internalization.The experience lived by a project development team for the new EcoSport at Ford Motor in Camaçari, Bahia was investigated regarding the knowledge sharing between its members.

REDES DE INDÚSTRIAS DE AUTOPEÇAS: ASPECTOS DAS EXPORTAÇÕES NACIONAIS

Esse artigo tem como objetivo a analise de dados dos destinos das exportacoes de autopecas nacionais. Um setor estrategico para a economia brasileira, tendo significativa participacao nas exportacoes do pais. Esse conjunto de empresas exportadoras forma um arranjo produtivo local que pode ser analisado atraves de metodo estatistico e do estudo das redes complexas. Para realizar essa analise, foi utilizada a linguagem de programacao Python com algumas de suas bibliotecas. Grupos de paises como a Argentina na America do Sul, os Estados Unidos na America do Norte, o Mexico na America Central e os paises da Uniao Europeia na Europa obtiveram destaque como destinos das exportacoes nacionais em milhoes de dolares. Ao contrario de Venezuela, Paraguai, Africa do Sul, Chile e Uruguai que obtiveram um decrescimo dos seus percentis. Os testes indicaram que as redes que compoem os destinos das exportacoes nacionais seguem uma lei de potencia e sao redes livre de escala e que para o Brasil ser competitivo e maximizar ganhos com exportacoes de autopecas deve aumentar a quantidade dos paises destinos de seus produtos. Conforme os resultados apresentados serao possiveis elaborar estrategias utilizando o estudo das redes complexas e a lei de Pareto, de acordo com as necessidades de cada um dos canais de distribuicao existentes nas redes analisadas.

Análise da Comunicação de Crianças com Paralisia Cerebral sem Oralidade Durante Atividade com Jogos Digitais

Na perspectiva da Tecnologia Assistiva e de sua aplicacao no contexto da Comunicacao Alternativa, os jogos digitais podem ser produzidos e aplicados em atividades ludicas junto as criancas com transtorno severo da fala com o intuito de ampliar a comunicacao e, consequentemente, contribuir para a promocao do desenvolvimento infantil. Diante desses pressupostos, este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a frequencia de ocorrencia das diferentes formas de comunicacao de criancas com Paralisia Cerebral sem oralidade durante atividades com jogos digitais. Participaram desta pesquisa quatro criancas com Paralisia Cerebral, sendo tres do sexo masculino e uma do sexo feminino com idades entre 7 e 12 anos. Todas as criancas apresentaram severos disturbios na comunicacao oral. Atentos as necessidades das criancas, tres jogos digitais foram desenvolvidos para essa populacao: Alimentacao, Seguranca Publica e Cidade Sustentavel. As atividades com os tres jogos digitais ocorreram em 5 sessoes, com duracao de aproximadamente 20 minutos com cada crianca. A partir da analise das filmagens, por meio do registro de observacao, foi possivel identificar a ocorrencia de cinco categorias de comunicacao, na seguinte ordem decrescente: Vocal e nao verbal, Nao verbal, Vocal com ajuda, Nao verbal com ajuda e Vocal. Discute-se a importância da analise das diferentes possibilidades de expressao dessas criancas para o planejamento de intervencoes mais eficazes na area da Comunicacao Alternativa.
