O manejo inadequado da vegetação e do solo leva a mudanças físicas que afetam a recarga de aquíferos. A Chapada do Araripe possui centenas de fontes que jorram na encosta; porém, há indícios de redução de vazões. Neste trabalho foi estudada a capacidade de infiltração de solos submetidos a diferentes tipos de manejo florestal na Chapada. Amostras de solos de 21 localidades foram ordenadas em quatro grupos. O Grupo 1, de áreas de vegetação preservada e os demais de áreas antropizadas. Observou-se ...

The provision of Intensive Care (IC) can lead to a health care provider's physical, psychological and emotional exhaustion, which may develop into burnout. We notice the absence of specific studies regarding this syndrome in Portuguese Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Our main objective is to study the incidence and risk factors of burnout in Portuguese ICUs.A self-fulfilment questionnaire containing 3 items: (i) socio-demographic data of the study population; (ii) experiences in the workplace; (iii) Maslach ...

Background Ethical decision making in intensive care is a demanding task. The need to proceed to ethical decision is considered to be a stress factor that may lead to burnout. The aim of this study is to explore the ethical problems that may increase burnout levels among physicians and nurses working in Portuguese intensive care units (ICUs). A quantitative, multicentre, correlational study was conducted among 300 professionals. Results The most crucial ethical decisions made by professionals working in ICU ...

Summary N eospora caninum is an A picomplexa parasite that in the last two decades was acknowledged as the main pathogenic agent responsible for economic losses in the cattle industry. In the present study, the effectiveness of intranasal immunization with N . caninum membrane antigens plus C p G adjuvant was assessed in a murine model of intragastrically established neosporosis. Immunized mice presented a lower parasitic burden in the brain on infection with 5 × 10 7 tachyzoites, showing that significant ...

National cultures and cultural differences provide a crucial component of the international business (IB) research context. We conducted a bibliometric study of articles published in seven leading IB journals over a period of three decades to analyze how national culture has been impacting IB research. Co-citation mappings permit us to identify the ties binding works dealing with culture and cultural issues in IB. We identify two main clusters of research, each comprising two sub-clusters, with Hofstede' ...

Fashion industry has a huge environmental impact, with increasing consequences all around the world. It is clear that the fashion consumers and stakeholders need to evaluate present status quo, according principles of sustainability and circular economy. Circular economy can be a guideline for the fashion industry, promoting product development focused on sustainable products (e.g., green products and cleaner technologies) and recyclability (e.g., upcycling and reuse of fibers from disposal clothes). ...

The overconsumption of fashion clothes and accessories is a dramatic reality in the last decades, linked with the world economic growth. Also the life cycle of the fashion items become shorter, ruled by "fast fashion" industry and moved by consumers' desires (but not needs). The programed obsolesce is critical for this business strategy, reducing the Product Life Cycle to few weeks. But this short time of cloths usage before disposal is an enormous environmental problem. A behaviour of fashion overconsumption ...

Aseptic loosening (AL) of hip prosthesis presents inflammation and pain as sign and symptom similarly to arthritis pathologies. Still, the immune and innervation profiles in hip AL remain unclear and their interplay is poorly explored. Herein, local tissue inflammatory response, sensory and sympathetic innervation as well as associated local mediators were assessed in hip joint microenvironment underlying AL and compared to osteoarthritis (OA). Histopathological analysis, immune cells (macrophages, ...

In this paper, we use the transaction cost theory [TCT] and the resource-based view [RBV] to discuss three propositions on the models of client-supplier relationships in mature industries. The two theories seem to advance different organizational forms of the client-supplier relationships, and in some instances are contradictory. How should firms organize to prosper and grow, namely in the international markets? Through the case study of three Portuguese packaging firms, with primary (interviews) and ...

Bibliometric techniques analyzing citations, co-citations and research themes delved into, were applied to the articles published between 1991 and 2010 in five leading IB journals. Data was collected from the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). We conclude that the RBV has been having an important impact on ...

Muitas das teorias e pesquisas procuram explicar por que e como a transferência de tecnologia acontece nas empresas multinacionais (MNE) dirigem-se a questão de como estas transferências ocorrem entre subsidiarias cooperativas, e assumem a cooperação inter-subsidiárias. Entretanto, nem sempre as subsidiárias cooperam. Sugerimos que o sucesso da transferência de tecnologia entre subsidiárias depende da extensão da relação de cooperação ou competição entre as subsidiárias das MNE. A cooperação inter- ...
