Introduction: The transition from online to face-to-face classes in the Philippines necessitated vaccination against COVID-19 for the students to prevent its transmission. The country has yet to benefit from herd immunity given the Filipinos’ hesitancy to COVID-19 vaccine (CoVax). The objective of the study is to describe the attitude of the undergraduate physical therapy students toward CoVax and determine the correlation between attitude toward CoVax and vaccine hesitancy factors. Methods: A descriptive-correlational research design was used. A convenience sample of 1st year college freshmen (n = 13) was used in the study. A 5-point Likert scale was used to measure attitude toward CoVax and vaccine hesitancy factors. Pearson correlation was used to determine the correlation between attitude toward CoVax and vaccine hesitancy factors and paired t test to compare change in attitude toward CoVax before and after getting vaccinated. Results: Majority (62%) of the students expressed a neutral attitude toward CoVax before getting vaccinated. Among all factors, the students rated their confidence (4.31) with CoVax as high but were less confident (3.92) and complacent (3.31) about the vaccine. A negative attitude toward COVAX before vaccination showed a statistically significant relationship with CoVax confidence (r = -.565; n = 13; p = .004). There was a change in the attitude toward CoVax from neutral before vaccination toward acceptance after getting vaccinated; however, the change, .31, 95% CI [-.72-1.33], was not statistically significant t (12) = .652, p = 0.527. Discussion: Reducing complacency toward and improving confidence in CoVax must be done to improve the attitude of the students toward acceptance of the CoVax.

The rapid transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted to the death of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. With the devastating effects on the economy and healthcare system of many countries, it is crucial to acceleratevaccine development against SARS-CoV-2. Thus, thisworkutilizedimmunoinformaticsto efficiently design a novel multi-epitope vaccine that can potentially induce immune response through the immunogenic, and abundantly expressed structural proteins in SARS-CoV-2. Epitopes were screened and evaluated using various immunoinformatics tools and databases. Antigenicity, allergenicity, and population coverage were assessed. Epitopes were adjoined to form a single vaccine construct (Covax),linked with 50S ribosomal protein as an adjuvant. Physicochemical properties, cross-reactivity, antigenicity,andallergenicityof Covax were evaluated. The tertiary structure of Covax was modeled, refined and validated for docking with toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Binding affinity of Covax-TLR4 was estimated and compared with TLR4-adjuvant as control. Lastly,the immune response with Covax was simulated and compared withadjuvant alone. Total of 33 epitopes from S (21), E (3), M (5),and N (4)proteins were merged in Covax. These include epitopes on thereceptor-binding motif (RBM) of S protein known to beessential in the viral attachment. In silico evaluations classified Covax as stable, antigenic, and non-allergenic. Epitopes were estimated to have large worldwide population coverage, especially in areas with high infection rates, indicating broad potential efficacy of Covax as a vaccine for the most affected populations.Results in this work showed that Covax can bind to TLR4 whichindicates potential immunogenicity and superior properties necessary for a successful vaccine. Overall, this work efficiently minimized time, effort and cost in designing a candidate vaccine against SARS-CoV-2. In vitro and in vivo studies on Covax are anticipated.

Full textAbstract:
As COVID-19 ravaged the world, its management was undercut by conspiracy perceptions that construct different versions of reality about the pandemic. This has hugely attracted scholarly attention in several fields but discourse analysis. This study was thus motivated to investigate the discursive constructions of conspiracies, the interpretive repertoires, expressed feelings, and enacted social actions. Data were sourced from posts and comments on Coronavirus and the vaccines on Twitter, Facebook, and Nairaland social media platforms, and subjected to discourse analysis. Three conspiracy perceptions were identified: COVID-19 as fraud, COVID-19 vaccine (COVAX) as a depopulation plan, and COVAX as associated with the 5G network. These were constructed in COVAX conspiracy discourse through these interpretive repertoires: reference, evaluative devices, time clauses, and intensifiers under lexicogrammar; and inclusive/exclusive distinctions, argumentation, historical allusion, rhetorical question, and narratorial trope under rhetorical strategies. These enacted the social actions of disputing, alleging, justifying, denouncing, and prognosticating, which worked up the negative emotions of dissatisfaction, apprehension, anger, insecurity, and disinclination expressed in terse textual voices that suppress the official COVAX narrative and endorse the alternative views.

IntroductionThe COVAX alliance is a novel approach to international partnership in global health intended to achieve the worthy goal of ‘COVID-19 vaccine equity’. This study aimed to identify the implementation challenges and framework gaps of COVAX and to explore the interconnected global health policy and governance gaps in ensuring equity, accessibility and affordability of vaccines.MethodsA scoping review was conducted to identify the implementation challenges and framework gaps of COVAX and related global health policy and governance gaps. A search was carried out in PubMed, Scopus, Springer Link and Embase databases. Manually searched the grey literature, such as official reports and articles. EndNote V.20 was used to manage the evidence screening, and data extraction was carried out in Microsoft Excel.ResultsSearches of four electronic databases and official UN, GAVI and WHO websites identified 4686 pieces of evidence. The 937 duplicates were removed, and the remaining 3749 articles were screened for the title and abstract. Most articles were eliminated as they do not address global COVAX or COVID-19 vaccine equity. The remaining 53 pieces of evidence were reviewed for full text, and ultimately 40 articles found eligible were included in the scoping review.ConclusionsThe implementation challenges of COVAX were attributed mainly to the phenomenon of vaccine nationalism by rich countries. The future global health policy and governance structure must be re-examined to address the inadequacies of such novel super public-and-private partnership models.

Full textAbstract:
After the Spanish flu pandemic in 1920s, the world experienced another one named the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. It has significantly impacted human life in various aspects. In response to this, not only countries but all actors in international relations take part including the World Health Organization (WHO). One of its moves was the formation of the ACT-Accelerator, which includes four pillars of COVID-19 management namely diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccines, and the health systems and response connector. In this case, WHO formed a multilateral cooperation called COVID-19 Global Access (COVAX). This collaboration incorporates several international organizations and agencies; namely, GAVI, CEPI, and UNICEF. COVAX aims to provide equal access for countries that need vaccines, especially developing countries. This study examines the global health diplomacy strategy carried out by the World Health Organization in procuring world vaccines through the COVAX program in Indonesia. The authors used a descriptive qualitative method with secondary sources to analyze the phenomenon in this study. Based on the conceptual framework, namely international organizations and global health diplomacy, the authors analyze the strategies pursued by WHO in realizing global health in Indonesia. This study found that the efforts of WHO global health diplomacy through the COVAX program to Indonesia include conducting vaccine research and development and raising funds and negotiating vaccine purchases. This study finally argues that the COVAX program serves as a concrete example of how WHO’s global health diplomacy strategies are implemented, offering a detailed case study of international cooperation in vaccine distribution.

Full textAbstract:
In 2020, COVAX, a Swiss-based public private partnership acting in private law forms, was established to enable equal access to COVID-19 vaccination worldwide. Given the extremely unequal allocation of vaccine doses resulting from the stark economic disparities between the nations, COVAX is intended as an instrument of international solidarity and redistribution, financed mainly by public development aid voluntarily contributed by the industrialized countries. The article examines COVAX from a public law perspective, asking whether it is an appropriate instrument of the international community to pursue the goal of distributing COVID-19 vaccines in a globally equitable manner. Thus, the article critically distances itself from the outset from considering the use of private actors and forms of action in public functions (»privatization«) essentially as a release of market economy rationality, which enables efficiency and effectiveness gains and relieves the public sector. The article unfolds a human rights perspective as well as administrative law insights on privatization, and further develops and applies the notion of International Public Authority. It argues, based on these complementary, multi-faceted critical references, that by resorting to COVAX as an instrument, the international community does not do justice to its legal duty to assist the developing nations and to timely facilitate equitable access to vaccines in the pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
In the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the fast and equitable distribution of effective vaccines worldwide is one of the challenges faced by international institutions in charge, as global equity in vaccine supply has not yet been achieved. Our paper explains the current state of ethical research on equity in global COVID-19 vaccine allocation, focusing on the COVAX Facility established by the WHO, acting as the global vaccine distributor. The article presents a detailed analysis of the first year of COVAX allocation in 2021 identifying problematic aspects of its allocation framework regarding the implementation of COVAX’s fundamental allocation principles. We argue that the COVAX Facility has developed a proper concept to deal with global vaccine allocation—but to address uncovered defaults, we introduce the ‘Prioritized Distribution of Equal Shares’ model—a both ethical and practically feasible alternative allocation framework to protect the value of human lives in both high- and low-income countries through fair and fast global vaccine distribution in health emergencies. Nonetheless, we argue that the COVAX Facility remains the main organization to provide equitable access to vaccines. Yet, the global community has to consider further aspects such as patent protection, vaccine production and the lack of power of global structures to address the inequities that have arisen. Since new wars and further crises have arisen, a shift in public global attention endangers the processing of COVID-19-related issues. That is why now more than ever extensive efforts to achieve vaccine equity are needed.

Full textAbstract:
Covid-19-pandemin utgör ett globalt hot mot hälsa, ekonomiskt välbefinnande och politisk stabilitet. Enligt forskare är vacciner mot covid-19 en nyckel till att få ett slut på pandemin och återgå till en viss typ av normalitet. Problemet är att vaccinerna mot covid-19 har fördelats ojämnt mellan hög- och låginkomstländer. Denna studie är baserad på kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer som undersöker hur experter ser på distributionen av vacciner mot covid-19 mellan hög- och låginkomstländer. Mer specifikt, vilka faktorer som de anser påverka fördelningen samt vilka åtgärder som behövs för att göra fördelningen mer rättvis. Studien är kopplad till ett teoretiskt ramverk om global rättvisa som används för att förklara varför vi människor har skyldigheter att hjälpa varandra. Denna studies resultat indikerar att majoriteten av experterna anser att fördelningen av vaccinerna har i hög grad varit ojämn eftersom höginkomstländer har anskaffat mer vacciner än låginkomstländerna. Enligt experterna kan en global ojämn fördelning av vacciner leda till konsekvenser som att det utvecklas mutationer av viruset som inte vaccinerna fungerar emot, och att pandemin således fortsätter. Den viktigaste faktorn som experterna belyste är att länder har agerat nationalistiskt och att det har varit ett högt tryck på politiska ledare att skaffa vacciner för deras befolkningar. Experterna var överens om att Covax initiativet var en bra åtgärd för att vaccinerna skulle fördelas mer rättvist även om de också påpekade utmaningar med Covax. Denna studie bidrar därför till förståelsen att det finns många faktorer som påverkar den globala fördelningen av vacciner mot covid-19, men också att det finns flera åtgärder för att göra fördelningen mer rättvis.<br>The COVID-19 pandemic poses a global threat to health, economic well-being and political sta- bility. According to researchers, COVID-19 vaccines are a key to ending the pandemic and return- ing to a certain type of normality. The issue is that the COVID-19 vaccines have been unevenly distributed between high- and low-income countries. This study is based on qualitative semi-struc- tured interviews exploring how experts view the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines between high- and low-income countries. More specifically, what factors that they consider to affect the distribution and what measures are needed to make the distribution more equitable. The study connects to the theoretical framework of global justice which is used to clarify why humans have obligations to help each other. The result of the study indicates that the majority of experts con- clude that the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines has been very uneven because high-income countries have obtained more vaccines than low-income countries. According to experts, an une- ven distribution of the vaccines can lead to several consequences such as the development of mu- tants which the vaccine does not work against, and thus to the pandemic continuing. The main factor pointed out by the experts is that countries have acted nationalistic and that there has been a lot of pressure on political leaders to procure vaccines for their populations. The experts agree that the Covax initiative was a good measure for the vaccines to be distributed more fairly, alt- hough they also highlighted challenges with Covax. This study therefore contributes to the under- standing that there are many factors that affect the global distribution of vaccines against COVID- 19, but also that there are several measures to make the distribution more equitable.

Previous issue date: 2013<br>Em estudos acadêmicos, como os Estudos da Tradução, por exemplo, a pesquisa é feita para preencher uma lacuna, entretanto os pesquisadores apresentam dificuldades em como conduzir o projeto de pesquisa, qual a metodologia a ser usada para sustentar a pesquisa. A famosa máxima ?Um problema bem colocado é resolvido pela metade?, no ver da pesquisa científica, não deixa de ser verdade; mas faz-se necessária uma formulação do problema, de modo que irá clarear o objetivo do projeto de pesquisa. (KRUGER; WALLMARCH, 1997, p. 120). Esta dissertação tem como objetivo fazer uma análise descritivo-comparativa do humor shakespeariano em duas traduções brasileiras da cena dos coveiros da peça A Tragédia de Hamlet: Príncipe da Dinamarca, de William Shakespeare (2005). Entende-se por humor os recursos textuais e discursivos passíveis de gerar o riso presentes no original e como estes elementos foram transpostos nas traduções da referida cena na peça shakespeariana por Millôr Fernandes e Carlos Alberto Nunes, esta publicada em 1983 e aquela em 1955, porém será a usada a reimpressão de 2011 de ambas. Inicialmente, pretende-se introduzir a questão da tradução do humor em Shakespeare, com base em estudos de Dirk Delabastita (1996) e Stanislaw Baranckzak (1992), e depois analisar a cena dos coveiros pelo modelo descritivo proposto por José Lambert & Hendrik Van Gorp (2011). Junto com o modelo descritivo, unimos a Teoria Geral do Humor Verbal de Salvatore Attardo (2002) e os procedimentos técnicos de Jean Paul Vainay & Jean Darbelnet (in VENUTI, 2004), como teorias voltadas ao processo tradutório com seus mecanismos de funcionamento. Como resultado final, pôde-se notar que ambos os tradutores souberam transpor a comicidade no texto shakespeariano, mantendo o tom ambíguo, irônico e sarcástico que o humor sugere.<br>

Full textAbstract:
Como ideia e como prática urbanística, o Rodoanel nasce muitas décadas antes de ser efetivamente iniciado, fruto da progressiva construção técnica e política de um modelo radioconcêntrico de circulação e expansão urbana que até hoje estrutura a RMSP, baseado numa cultura rodoviarista de priorização do transporte individual sobre pneus e na abertura de frentes de expansão e valorização imobiliária profundamente entrelaçados com interesses privados. O objetivo deste trabalho foi desvendar, nesse contexto, os atores, arenas e processos responsáveis pela definição e implementação do projeto. A partir da análise de documentos, atos administrativos, matérias veiculadas na mídia e da realização de entrevistas, foi possível concluir que o ator central para o processo de definição e implementação do Rodoanel foi o Governo do Estado de São Paulo. Com a entrada de Mário Covas na gestão estadual em 1994, passa o estado a desenvolver ações e articulações no sentido de viabilizar o projeto com o objetivo de constituir uma marca de sua gestão, aquecer a economia estadual e satisfazer seu compromisso de realizar uma obra rodoviária. Outros atores (União, municípios da RMSP, sociedade civil organizada e empreiteiras) também participaram da trajetória de decisão e implementação do projeto, sob liderança do governo estadual. Para o relacionamento com cada um deles, são utilizados/mobilizados pelo estado espaços e estratégias diferentes, individualizando os tempos e objetos da negociação. Com alguns, principalmente União e Prefeitura de São Paulo, são travadas negociações diretas entre os chefes do executivo, tendo como objeto o aporte de recursos federais e municipais em troca da participação na execução do projeto, possível fonte de capital político. Com outros atores, especialmente no caso dos demais municípios afetados pelo Rodoanel e da sociedade civil organizada, a principal arena utilizada para negociações são os espaços propiciados pelo processo de licenciamento ambiental, constituindo as medidas de compensação ambiental as principais moedas de troca. Com a iniciativa privada, envolvida principalmente na fase de implementação, são detectados tanto espaços formais quanto informais de negociação, tendo por objetos de negociação os contratos das principais obras do empreendimento e possíveis doações de campanhas efetuadas pelas empreiteiras aos candidatos e partidos. O que se conclui, portanto, é que o Rodoanel Mário Covas, apesar de incidir significativamente na reestruturação da região metropolitana, não foi implementado nem a partir, nem levando em consideração um processo de planejamento metropolitano. Sua concretização representa uma significativa confluência de fatores institucionais, políticos, sociais e urbanísticos, todos conectados a partir de articulações promovidas pela ação do governo estadual junto a atores públicos e privados, realizadas em diferentes arenas e processos de negociação.<br>As an idea and urbanistic practice, the Rodoanel was born many decades before being actually initiated, fruit of the progressive technical and political construction of a radioconcentric model of circulation and urban expansion that still structuring the São Paulo Metropolitan Area, based in a rodoviarist culture of priorization of individual transport upon wheels and in the opening of expansion and real estate valorization fronts deeply interlaced with private interests. The objective of this work is to unveil, in this context, the actors, arenas and processes responsible for the definition and implementation of the project. Starting from the analysis of documentation, administrative acts, articles from newspapers and interviews; it was possible to conclude that the main actor in the definition and implementation of the project was the Government of the State of São Paulo. With the beginning of the Mário Covas administration in 1994, the state starts to develop actions and articulations in the sense of making feasible the project, with the aims of building a mark of the administration, heat up the state\'s economy and satisfy his commitment of building a new road. Other actors (federal government, municipalities of the SPMA, organized civil society and the construction companies) also participated in the trajectory of decision and implementation of the project, under the leadership of the State\'s Government. For the relationship with each one of them, the State uses/mobilizes different spaces and strategies, individualizing the time and the objects of the negotiation. With some, mainly the Federal Government and the São Paulo Municipality, direct negotiations are conducted between the heads of Executive, targeting the inclusion of federal and municipal funds in exchange of the participation in the execution of the project, a potential source of political capital. With the other actors, especially with other municipalities of the metropolitan area, the main arena used to the negotiating process were the spaces provided by the of environmental licensing process, constituting the environmental compensation measures the main trade currency. With the private sector, involved mainly in the phase of implementation, formal and informal moments of negotiation are detected, being the contracts negotiations of the major works of the project and the possibilities of campaign donations by the companies to the parties and candidates as the prime issue. The conclusion therefore is that the Rodoanel Mário Covas, despite of incur significantly in the restructuring of the metropolitan region was not implemented taking into account a process of metropolitan planning. The concretization of the project was a significant confluence of institutional, political, social and urbanistic factors, all connected from the articulations promoted by the actions of the State\'s Government with the public and private actors, conducted in different arenas and negotiation processes.

Full textAbstract:
O objetivo desse trabalho é dissertar sobre a correlação e reprodução de diferentes processos de segregação espacial na periferia da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (RMSP), especificamente no bairro Santa Maria ao sul do município de Osasco, onde parte do trecho oeste do Rodoanel Mário Covas está assentado. Correlaciona-se a discussão de duas formas de segregação: à mobilidade e a residencial. A segregação à mobilidade é, de maneira geral, confrontada através do projeto Rodoanel Mário Covas em relação à circulação de mercadorias. A prioridade do Poder Público pela circulação de mercadorias é observada nas mudanças de seus discursos sobre a obra e sobre o processo de reestruturação produtiva. Numa escala local são observados os relatos da população diante da baixa oferta de transporte coletivo e da alta demanda de passageiros, historicamente em desvantagem, sob a ideologia do transporte individual pautado no uso do automóvel. Quando em situação de proprietários de automóveis os entrevistados da pesquisa relataram mobilidades ao Rodoanel, em sua maioria, na condição de não usuários diários devido à segregação a sua acessibilidade pela cobrança de pedágio. Na via expressa é proibido o transporte coletivo. Considerase o bairro de análise uma localidade de periferia da RMSP que, conjuntamente a outras localidades a margens de rodovias, passa por um processo de reestruturação. O assentamento de condomínios fechados com proximidade física as autoconstruções e as favelas demarcam espaços residenciais segregados. Reestruturam uma periferia que, neste início de século XXI, se reproduz com a mobilidade de um novo perfil de habitante dependente do uso do automóvel. As mudanças de discursos do Poder Público sobre o Rodoanel Mário Covas como barreira a expansão de uma periferia precária e de incentivo a novos empreendimentos residenciais condominiais às suas margens são tomadas como referência para a discussão conceitual de periferia e de segregação residencial (auto-segregação e imposta). Alguns dados da pesquisa Origem-Destino do Metrô (ano 2007) são base para o encadeamento de nossas considerações. O processo histórico de ocupação do bairro Jd. Santa Maria, assim como à evolução da mobilidade da população é correlacionado a condição de segregação residencial imposta que, a partir da inauguração do Rodoanel Mário Covas, começa a metamorfosear-se. Com a dissertação espera-se contribuir para o entendimento da reestruturação contemporânea da periferia da RMSP e para a discussão do conceito de segregação espacial na área do saber geográfico.<br>The objective of this paper is to discuss the correlation between the reproduction of the different processes of spatial segregation on the outskirts of the Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (RMSP) (São Paulo Metropolitan Area), specifically in the neighborhood of Santa Maria, just south of Osasco municipality, where a part of the western line of Rodoanel Mário Covas (Beltway Mário Covas) is situated. The discussion involves correlating two forms of segregation: mobile and residential. Mobile segregation is confronted mainly through the Beltway Mário Covas project in relation to the circulation of merchandise. Public powers giving priority to the circulation of merchandise can be observed through alterations in the project rhetoric and over the process of productive restructuring. On a local scale, direct commentaries from the population can be observed due to the low offer of collective transportation and the high demand from passengers, historically at a disadvantage, under the ideology of individual transportation brought to question in the use of the automobile. When automobile owners are being interviewed, research showed that they would indicate usage of the Beltway, mostly, as nondaily users due to access segregation through highway tax. On the expressway, collective transportation is illegal. Taking into consideration that the neighborhood under analysis is on the outskirts of the RMSP (São Paulo Metropolitan Area), along with other localities on the fringes of freeways; it is currently going through a process of restructuring. The building of closed condominiums within close physical proximity to owner-built constructions and the favelas (slums), indicates spatially segregated residential areas. The outskirts are being restructured in such a way that here on the onset of the XXI Century, reproduced through mobility, the new profile is that of habitants dependant on the use of automobiles. Changes in the public discourses of power toward Beltway Mário Covas as a barrier to the expansion of the precarious outskirts and of new enterprising residential condominiums along the fringes are taken as reference for the conceptual discussion about the outskirts and of residential segregation (self-discrimination as well as imposed). Some data from the research paper Origem-Destino do Metro (2007) (Origin-Destination of the Subway) also serves as a base for locking our considerations. Both the historical process in the occupation of Jd. Santa Maria neighborhood, as well as the evolution of populous mobility, are correlated with the conditions of imposed residential segregation, which, upon the inauguration of Beltway Mário Covas, begins to metamorphose itself. With this dissertation, it is hoped to contribute to understanding contemporary restructuring of the outskirts of the RMSP (São Paulo Metropolitan Area) and to the discussion of the concept of spatial segregation in the area of geographical knowledge.

Abstract In recent years we have witnessed how distress can spread quickly through the financial system and threaten financial stability. Hence there has been increased focus on developing systemic risk indicators that can be used by central banks and others as a monitoring tool. For Sveriges Riksbank it is of great value to be able to quantify the risks that can threaten the Swedish financial system CoVaR is a systemic risk measure implemented here with that with that purpose. CoVaR, which stands for conditional Value at Risk, measures a financial institutions contribution to systemic risk and its contribution to the risk of other financial institutions. The conclusion is that CoVaR can together with other systemic risk indicators help get a better understanding of the risks threatening the stability of the Swedish financial system.

Tese de Mestrado em Arquitectura<br>A Cova da Moura, bairro de génese ilegal periférico a Lisboa, é vista com desconfiança pelos seus vizinhos e, apesar do trabalho das associações locais e dos seus méritos na inclusão social, educação e dinamização cultural, o bairro é pouco aberto para o exterior, tanto pelas diferenças sócio-culturais como pelos próprios limites físicos que o contêm. Se o fenómeno de exclusão social está ligado ao espaço e ao acesso, reavaliar as barreiras espaciais e promover a acessibilidade e uma maior liberdade espacial pode ser o modo do planeamento contribuir para promover a integração social. Procurar na história do urbanismo, através de utopias e realizações que incidem sobre a malha urbana dita orgânica, tradicional, atitudes com efeitos mais ou menos disruptivos no tecido social, e averiguar temas que permitam delinear uma estratégia para a reabilitação da Cova da Moura: a acupunctura urbana ou cirurgia conservativa, os programas públicos ou comunitários como potencial qualificador e dinamizador do bairro, o papel do espaço público enquanto local de encontro e as decisões de projecto que incentivam essa socialização. Reconhecendo, claro, os limites da intervenção arquitectónica e adequando a informação ao contexto da Cova da Moura.<br>Cova da Moura, an illegally built neighbourhood peripheral to Lisbon, is seen with some mistrust by its neighbors and, despite the work developed by local associations and its merits in social inclusion, education and cultural activities, the neighbourhood has little connection to its surroundings wether due to socio-cultural differences or to its actual physical limits. As the phenomenon of social exclusion relates to space and access, reevaluating spatial barriers and promoting an increased spatial freedom can be a way for townplanning to contribute to promote social integration. As a background for the project I will search within the history of urbanism, through utopias and actual realizations that work with density and the models of organic patterns or traditional city, with more or less disruptive effects on the social fabric, and investigate themes that allow the development of a strategy for the rehabilitation of Cova da Moura: urban acupunture or conservative surgery, public or communitarian programmes with potential to qualify and activate the neighbourhood, the role of public space as a place for encounters and the project decisions that encourage that interaction. Recognizing nevertheless the natural limitations to the architectʼs intervention and contextualizing the information to Cova da Mouraʼs reality.

In this paper we use the conditional Value at Risk (CoVaR) and CoVaR variation (ΔCoVaR) proposed by Adrian and Brunnermeier (2008, 2011, 2016) to estimate the Peruvian stock market risk (through the IGBVL) conditioned on the international financial market (given that the S&P500) and conditioned on three of the main commodities exported by Peru: copper, silver and gold. Moreover, the CoVaR measures are compared with the VaR of the IGBVL to understand the differences using conditional and unconditional risk measure estimators. The results show that both CoVaR and ΔCoVaR are useful indicators to measure the Peruvian stock market risk.<br>En este trabajo utilizamos el Valor en Riesgo condicional (CoVaR) y la variación CoVaR (ΔCoVaR) propuestos por Adrian and Brunnermeier (2008, 2011, 2016) para estimar el riesgo bursátil peruano (a través del IGBVL) condicionado en el mercado internacional (dado por el índice S&P500) y condicionado en tres de los principales comodities exportados por el Perú: cobre, plata y oro. Además, las medidas CoVaR son comparadas con el VaR del IGBVL para entender las diferencias al utilizar medidas de riesgo condicionales e incondicionales. Los resultados muestran que ambas medidas CoVaR and ΔCoVaR constituyen indicadores útiles para estimar el riesgo bursátil peruano.

Um dos objetivos deste estudo é testar modelos de precificação de ativos financeiros, especialmente o de risco downside de Ang et al. (2006), em todas as ações da Bovespa, para o período que se estende de janeiro de 1999 a julho de 2012. Para atingi-lo, aplica-se o método de regressões Fama e MacBeth (1973) com retornos um período à frente. A quase totalidade dos modelos testados é rejeitada, inclusive a existência de um eventual prêmio para o risco downside. A exceção é o modelo que inclui com o beta tradicional e o seu quadrado, o que permite rejeitar o CAPM devido a não linearidade no risco de mercado. A relação existente entre o beta e o retorno das ações seria positiva até beta igual a 0,642 e depois negativa. Outra meta desta dissertação é comparar as estimações condicionais às não condicionais do modelo CoVaR de Adrian e Brunnermeier (2011) para as 16 ações da Bovespa utilizadas por Almeida et al. (2012), que obtiveram apenas estimações não condicionais para o Brasil em um período semelhante. Os resultados daqui mostram uma baixa e não estatisticamente significante correlação com os de Almeida et al. (2012). Para este estudo, tem-se que as duas formas de calcular o CoVaR são similares para o teste de estresse, mas não para o risco sistêmico.<br>This research pursues as an objective to test cross-sectional returns of some asset pricing models, specially the downside risk suggested by Ang et al. (2006). To accomplish this goal, all the Brazilian Bovespa\'s stocks are used, from January 1999 to July 2012, in one month forward returns Fama-MacBeth regressions. Not only the downside risk model is rejected: almost all models, including the traditional CAPM and versions of the 3 factors Fama-French. A nonlinear CAPM (beta and beta squared) is the exception in the universe of tested models, which produces the best predictions and a positive relationship between betas and forward returns until beta equals 0,642, after this value, the relationship becomes negative. Another issue followed by this study is to compare conditional estimates of the CoVaR model of Adrian and Brunnermeier (2011) with the unconditional ones for the sixteen stock used by Almeida et al. (2012) unconditionally estimates. The results show low and not statistically significant correlation with Almeida\'s estimates. For the sample used here, comparing the conditional and the unconditional methodologies suggests a great similarity for the stress test, but not so close results for the systemic risk.

Objetivos: Convulsões Febris são o distúrbio convulsivo mais frequente na população pediátrica. O principal objetivo desta investigação consiste em avaliar a epidemiologia e os fatores de risco associados à Convulsão Febril na Região da Cova da Beira, em crianças dos 0 aos 6 anos.
Métodos: Estudo transversal quantitativo/descritivo, com metodologia quantitativa apresenta recolha de dados retrospetivos. A amostra acidental é constituída por todas as crianças dos 0 aos 6 anos que no período de 1 de março de 2011 a 29 de fevereiro de 2012, recorreram ao Serviço de Urgência Pediátrico do Centro Hospitalar Cova da Beira por Convulsão Febril. Os dados demográficos e clínicos foram recolhidos mediante preenchimento de um questionário aplicado aos pais das crianças, preenchimento da escala de Mary Sheridan, avaliação do crescimento através da somatometria e consulta do processo clínico. Os resultados foram analisados no programa informático Software Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) versão 19 for Windows, consideraram-se resultados significativos para p<0,05.
Resultados: Das 16 crianças registadas 68,8% corresponderam ao sexo feminino e 37,5 % dos episódios convulsivos ocorreram na faixa etária dos 12 aos 18 meses. A percentagem de episódios provenientes da Covilhã é de 70,8%. O período do ano, com maior número de ocorrências foi nos meses de janeiro e fevereiro. Dos episódios registados 83,35% foram Convulsões Febris Simples. O período do dia com maior incidência foi entre as 16:00h e as 20:00h com duração média de episódio convulsivo de 6 minutos e 20 segundos. 37,5% ocorreram no intervalo entre 38,1 – 39ºC. Das crianças inquiridas 43,8% não apresenta antecedentes familiares de Convulsão Febril. Em 45,8% dos episódios observaram-se sintomas de infeção do trato respiratório superior nas quatro semanas que antecederam a Convulsão Febril. Em 8,3% dos episódios houve antecedentes de vacinação nos 14 dias anteriores ao episódio convulsivo. Cerca de 12,55% das ocorrências tem registo de banho prévio, sendo que destes 8,3% correspondem a banho de água quente. Durante a gravidez 31,3% das crianças estiveram expostas a uma ou mais patologias e/ou aditivos.
Conclusão: No nosso estudo houve concordância com a literatura no que diz respeito à faixa etária de maior incidência, idade dos pais acima dos 30 anos, história de infeções e vacinação nos 15 a 30 dias prévios ao episódio convulsivo, predisposição familiar, incidência em recém-nascido pequeno para idade gestacional ou pré-termo. No entanto, ao contrário da maioria dos estudos, não se registou maior prevalência no sexo masculino.

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: A Síndrome de mononucleose, causada pelo vírus Epstein-Barr (VEB) e/ou Citomegalovírus (CMV), é uma doença aguda, com repercussão sistémica conhecida, comum em adolescentes e adultos jovens. Clinicamente inespecífica e variável, pode ser simuladora de patologias, nomeadamente bacterianas, epidemiologicamente relevantes. Apesar do componente fundamentalmente benigno e autolimitado, é importante o seu diagnóstico precoce e correcto, particularmente em doentes imunodeprimidos, cujas complicações poderão ser fatais. Assim, propôs-se avaliar o comportamento e evolução da doença num grupo de doentes internados.
Materiais e métodos: Estudo retrospectivo, transversal e descritivo, onde se analisou um conjunto de variáveis, através da consulta de processos clínicos de uma amostra seleccionada de 47 doentes com mais de 15 anos, internados com diagnóstico de mononucleose nos Serviços de Medicina e Infecciologia do Centro Hospitalar Cova da Beira entre 2005 e 2011. Para tratamento estatístico dos dados recorreu-se ao software SPSS 19.0 e, no âmbito da análise estatística inferencial, aos testes de Fisher e de Friedman, definindo-se um nível de significância de 0,05.
Resultados: Os 47 doentes estudados, 19 do género feminino e 28 do género masculino, apresentaram uma média de idades de 29 anos e permaneceram internados, em média, nove dias. A incidência da doença aumentou entre 2005 e 2008, ano em que atingiu um pico máximo de 25,5%, diminuindo para cerca de cinco casos por ano desde então. Dentro do espectro de comorbilidades encontradas em 34% dos doentes, a Diabetes Mellitus, hipertensão arterial, VIH e hepatite C constituíram as mais frequentes. Dentro da multiplicidade de manifestações clínicas, a febre constituiu o achado mais comum, seguindo-se a odinofagia e linfadenopatia periférica, particularmente cervical. Entre outros, o rash evidenciou-se numa minoria dos casos. Laboratorialmente, verificou-se leucocitose associada a linfocitose absoluta, presença de linfócitos atípicos no sangue periférico e elevação da enzimologia hepática e dos parâmetros inflamatórios. A função hepática manteve-se praticamente preservada, com níveis normais de bilirrubina, albumina e glicose. Contudo, embora sem trombocitopenias evidentes, salientam-se tempos de protrombina elevados. O monoteste, requisitado em 85,2% dos doentes, positivou em metade dos casos. Para confirmação do diagnóstico, realizaram-se as serologias específicas para os agentes causais. Assim, o CMV constituiu a principal etiologia (53,2%), seguido do VEB e, numa menor percentagem, da co-infecção destes dois agentes. Em 74,5% dos casos foi realizada ecografia abdominal. Embora pouco objectiváveis à palpação abdominal, a esplenomegalia e a hepatomegalia foram detectadas ecograficamente em 51,4% e 17,1% dos casos, respectivamente, evidenciando-se a associação das duas numa menor percentagem. Radiografia do tórax, tomografia computadorizada do pescoço, tórax e abdómen e ecocardiograma foram outros exames imagiológicos realizados. Ao longo do internamento, apenas 6,4% dos doentes desenvolveu complicações, sendo a corioretinite a mais frequente. Relativamente ao modo como evoluiu a doença, constatou-se que apenas 5,6% dos casos evoluíram desfavoravelmente, associando-se estes à coexistência de VIH e ao desenvolvimento de complicações. No âmbito do tratamento, realizou-se sempre terapia de suporte, restringindo-se o ganciclovir ao tratamento da corioretinite. Metade dos doentes recebeu antibioterapia, maioritariamente com amoxicilina/ácido clavulânico, cuja administração resultou em rash (14,3% dos casos). Utilizaram-se anti-histamínicos e corticóides em 17,9% dos casos, na sua maioria, para tratamento do rash.
Conclusões: A Síndrome de mononucleose constitui uma doença, na sua generalidade, benigna e autolimitada, com evolução favorável em indivíduos previamente saudáveis e na maioria daqueles com comorbilidades associadas. Indivíduos imunodeprimidos, nomeadamente VIH-positivos, revelam evoluções desfavoráveis, com desenvolvimento de complicações, potencialmente fatais.<br>Introduction: Mononucleosis syndrome, caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and/or
Cytomegalovirus (CMV), is an acute disease with known systemic impact, common in
adolescents and young adults. Clinically nonspecific and variable, it can simulate diseases,
including bacterial, which are epidemiologically relevant. Despite its fundamentally benign
and self-limiting component, an early and correct diagnosis is important, particularly in
immunocompromised patients, whose complications can be fatal. Therefore, this study aims
to evaluate the behavior and the course of the disease in a group of hospitalized patients.
Materials and methods: Retrospective, transversal and descriptive study, where a set of
variables was analyzed, through the research of clinical files of a selected sample of 47
patients with more than 15 years old, hospitalized with a diagnosis of mononucleosis in
Medicine and Infectious Diseases Departments of Cova da Beira Hospital Center between 2005
and 2011. The SPSS 19.0 software has been used for statistical treatment of the data, and the
Fisher and Friedman tests have been used for inferential statistical analysis, having defined a
0.05 level of significance.
Results: The 47 patients object of this study, 19 of them female and 28 male, had an average
age of 29 years old and remained hospitalized, on average, for nine days. The incidence of
the disease increased between 2005 and 2008, having reached a peak of 25,5% in 2008,
decreasing to about five cases per year since then. Within the spectrum of co-morbidities
found in 34% of the patients, Diabetes Mellitus, hypertension, HIV and hepatitis C were the
most frequent. Amongst the multiplicity of clinical manifestations, fever was the most
common finding, followed by odynophagia and peripheral lymphadenopathy, particularly
cervical. Among others, rash was evident in a minority of cases. The laboratory findings
pointed towards leukocytosis associated with absolute lymphocytosis, presence of atypical
lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, and elevation of liver enzymes and inflammatory
parameters. Liver function remained mostly preserved, with normal levels of bilirubin,
albumin and glucose. However, despite without obvious thrombocytopenias, there was some
emphasis on high prothrombin time. The monotest, requested for 85,2% of the patients, was
positive in half of the cases. In order to confirm the diagnosis, specific serologies were made
for etiological agents. Therefore, CMV was the primary etiology (53,2%), followed by EBV and,
in a smaller percentage, the co-infection of these two agents. In 74,5% of cases an abdominal
ultrasonography was performed. Despite the poor perception in abdominal palpation,
splenomegaly and hepatomegaly were detected by ultrasonography in 51,4% and 17,1% of the
cases respectively, having the association of both been shown on a lower percentage of cases.
Chest radiography, computed tomography of the neck, the chest and the abdomen, and echocardiogram were other radiographic studies performed. Throughout the hospitalization,
only 6,4% of the patients developed complications, chorioretinitis being the most frequent.
Regarding the way the disease evolved, it was found that only 5,6% of the cases evolved
unfavorably, which were associated to the coexistence of HIV and the development of
complications. Concerning the treatment, supportive therapy was always used, having
restricted the ganciclovir for the chorioretinitis treatment. Half of the patients received
antibiotherapy, mostly with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, which resulted in a rash (14,3% of the
cases). Antihistamines and corticoids were used in 17,9% of the cases, mostly for rash
treatment.
Conclusions: Mononucleosis syndrome, in most cases, is a benign and self-limiting disease,
with favorable progress in previously healthy individuals and most of those with comorbidities associated to it. Immunocompromised individuals, including HIV-positive, reveal
unfavorable progression, with the development of life-threatening complications.

Full textAbstract:
The results of a full-scale flight test on an ultralight counter-rotating coaxial rotorcraft, the CoAX 2D, are presented. The CoAX 2D was developed and manufactured by edm-aerotec in Geisleden, Germany. It can be operated up to a maximum take-off weight of 450 kg. The helicopter features 2-bladed, 6.5 m diameter upper and lower rotors in teeter configuration with uniform airfoil sections and linearly twisted blades. Fundamental measurements included air data, data from an inertial measurement unit, control forces and deflections, and tail-boom loads in the nonrotating system as well as upper- and lower-rotor teeter angles and data from bladeand hub-load instrumentation. Flight data was synchronized by a common time stamp that was recorded in each system and an additional rotor position pickup sensor. A semiautomated, steady-state recognition algorithm facilitated the evaluation of the results within chosen limitations, accounting for the rotorcraft's position, speed, and attitude in space. This paper explains how flight test data of a coaxial ultralight rotorcraft were processed and it presents results from extensive flight testing. The current focus is on hover and forward flight tests during which the CoAX 2D's power consumption, control angles, tail loads, hub loads, and teeter angles for the whole range of flight speeds were analyzed and evaluated. Upper- and lower-rotor thrust-sharing characteristics as a function of flight speed were analyzed and the resulting rotor–rotor interferences were identified. Hover was dominated by 2/rev characteristics from rotor-fuselage interference.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Maximal cardiac output (COmax) is one of the most important functional parameters related to cardiorespiratory capacity (VO2max) and physical fitness. In clinical medicine, low COmax values are a risk factor for imminent heart failure. Conversely, high COmax values are a prerequisite for achieving high performance in sports, especially in endurance disciplines. Methods: To determine the COmax, we used our own modification of the COmax calculation from the VO2max values obtained during the spiroergometric examination (Stork et al. - 1). Our work is based on the findings of Stringer et al (2), which documented a very close correlation between COmax values obtained by calculation and COmax values obtained by the classical method according to Fick's principle. Subjects: From our 20-year examination database, we included in this study 641 men (M) and 164 women (F) over 19 years of age who completed a stress test on a bicycle ergometer with a graded load to the maximum. To calculate COmax, we used the equation with which we have already worked in several of our earlier studies. We have divided the files into three groups according to different physical activity: group A included well-trained endurance-athletes, who had several years of sports training at the time of the examination. Group B included subjects who engaged in physical activity only in their free time without competing in any sports competition. Subjects with various health problems who either never played any sport at all or ended their sports career many years ago, were included in group C. Results: COmax in group M-A (n=462, COmax=28.38±4.47 l/min) was significantly higher than in groups M-B (n=143, COmax=19.4±3.7 l/min) and M-C (n=36, COmax=18.4±5.9 l/min). It was the same with the women's groups. COmax values in group F-A (n=58, COmax=20.7±3.7 l/min) were significantly higher than in groups F-B (n=88, COmax=12.8±2.3 l/min) and F-C (n=18, COmax=12.1±2.0 l/min). There were no significant differences in both M and F between groups C and D. The same findings were found when comparing maximal stroke volume (SVmax) values. Conclusions: Movement activity is a condition for the development and maintenance of the adaptive abilities of the cardiorespiratory system. The parameters measured in recreational sportsmen correspond to the average of a healthy average fit population. If physical activity is not part of a healthy lifestyle and, in addition, there are health problems (in our groups C obesity and resting and exertional chest pains are the most common), in many subjects from our groups C the COmax parameters are significantly below average and close to the level characterizing the NYHA-1 to NYHA-2 group according to cardiology classification. The results show, on the one hand, how important factor in health prevention is regular physical activity, and, on the other hand, the applicability of our modified method to determine non-invasively the maximum cardiac output.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper,we analyze the tail-dependence structure of credit default swaps (CDS) and the global financial cycle for a group of eleven emerging markets. Using a Copula-CoVaR model,we provide evidence that there is a significant taildependence between variables related with the global financial cycle, such as the VIX, and emerging market CDS. These results are particularly important in the context of distressed global financial markets (right tail of the distributions of the VIX) because they provide international investors with relevant information on how to rebalance their portfolios and a more suitable metric to analyze sovereign risk that goes beyond the traditional CoVaR. Additionally, we present further evidence supporting the importance of the global financial cycle in sovereign risk dynamics.
