MOREIRA, Helon Bezerra. Orçamento Participativo de Fortaleza: uma promessa a ser cumprida. 2015. 221f. – Dissertação (Mestrado) – Universidade Federal do Ceará, Programa de Pós-graduação em Avaliação de Políticas Públicas, Fortaleza (CE), 2015. / Submitted by Márcia Araújo (marcia_m_bezerra@yahoo.com.br) on 2015-12-16T14:29:22Z No. of bitstreams: 1 2015_dis_hbmoreira.pdf: 1155933 bytes, checksum: 77853a9485cc19749da7c6aab60a7049 (MD5) / Approved for entry into archive by Márcia Araújo(marcia_m_bezerra@yahoo.com.br) on 2015-12-16T16:23:09Z (GMT) No. of bitstreams: 1 2015_dis_hbmoreira.pdf: 1155933 bytes, checksum: 77853a9485cc19749da7c6aab60a7049 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2015-12-16T16:23:09Z (GMT).

A public policy of collaborative administration, characterized by the perspective of articulation between democracies of the participative and representative sorts. A systematic accompaniment of this policy through an investigative effort – initiated in the first decade of the year 2000, in the social science scope – unveils defining features of liberal democracy to limit the collaborative potential of this experience, which raises a central question about the actual manifestation of collaborative democracy at the context in study. The Collaborative Budgeting in Fortaleza began in 2005, during the first term of Luizianne Lins, a mayor affiliated to the PT party. Its continuity until the first half of 2014, during the second year of the following mayor, Roberto Cláudio, which is affiliated to the PROS party, continues enigmatic. This work investigates the effective participation of the specific public – related to local public policies –, the percentage of the municipal budget that is in fact discussed and deliberated by the population, and the continuity of this experience with the shift of municipal administration, among other phenomena. For such task, this paper rescues conceptions and democratic theories of contemporaneous analysts, such as Santos (2001, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2012 and 2013) Coutinho (1979, 1988, 1989, 1994 and 2008) and Wood (1998, 2007, 2011 and 2014). The public policy in question is assessed through an experimental methodological approach that articulates several methodological principles found in the works of Silva e Silva (2008), Guba & Lincoln (2011), Lejano (2012) and Rodrigues (2008, 2011). The field research is completed by interviews with participants and politics coordinators. There are also studies with statistical and documental outlines on Fortaleza’s Collaborative Budgeting involved in the research. / Em Orçamento Participativo de Fortaleza: uma promessa a ser cumprida, é feita uma reflexão a incidir sobre a natureza e o caráter democrático dessa experiência na cidade de Fortaleza entre os anos de 2005 e 2014. Política pública de gestão participativa, marcada pela perspectiva de articulação entre democracias do tipo participativa e representativa. O acompanhamento sistemático desta política mediante um esforço investigativo – iniciado na primeira década dos anos 2000, no âmbito da graduação em ciências sociais – revela traços marcantes da democracia liberal, a limitar o potencial participativo da experiência, levando a um questionamento central sobre a efetividade da democracia participativa no contexto em estudo. O Orçamento Participativo de Fortaleza surge em 2005, no primeiro mandato petista de Luizianne Lins na cidade. A sua continuidade, até a primeira metade de 2014, no segundo ano da nova gestão de Fortaleza, sob o governo de Roberto Cláudio do Partido Republicano da Ordem Social (PROS), ainda é uma incógnita a ser desvendada. A participação efetiva da população usuária, público das políticas públicas municipais, o percentual do orçamento municipal realmente discutido e deliberado pela população, a continuidade dessa experiência com a mudança da gestão municipal, dentre outros fenômenos, são aqui investigados. Para tanto, resgata-se concepções e teorias democráticas de analistas contemporâneos, com destaque para Santos (2001, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2012 e 2013) Coutinho (1979, 1988, 1989, 1994 e 2008) e Wood (1998, 2007, 2011 e 2014). A política pública em questão é avaliada sob uma abordagem metodológica experiencial que articula diversos princípios metodológicos encontrados em trabalhos de Silva e Silva (2008), Guba & Lincoln (2011), Lejano (2012) e Rodrigues (2008, 2011). A pesquisa de campo se efetiva por meio de entrevistas com participantes e coordenadores da política. Também são desenvolvidos estudos com aportes estatísticos e documentais sobre o Orçamento Participativo de Fortaleza.

Prevalence of Diabetes in U.S. Veterans: Findings from NHANES 2005-2014

Sayam, Sonica, Wang, Kesheng, Zheng, Shimin, Wang, Liang, Liu, Ying 11 April 2017 (has links)
Background: Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. More and more people have suffered from diabetes and its serious complications including heart disease, blindness, etc. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) reported that nearly 25% of veterans, enrolled in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA),have diabetes, which is much higher than the general population. Objective: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of diabetes in the U.S. veterans using the up-to-date National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data since VHA has a relatively low coverage (less than 30% of veterans each year were enrolled). Methods: Five biennial cross sectional surveys (NHANES) from 2005-2014 were used in this study. Total 2,940 veterans were included to estimate the prevalence of diabetes. Total diabetes was defined as any participant who had at least one of four conditions: (1) a hemoglobin A1c at least 6.5%, (2) fasting plasma glucose (FPG) at least 126mg/dL, (3)a 2-hour plasma glucose (PG) at least 200mg/dL, (4) diagnosed with diabetes by a doctor or other health professional. Results: The overall prevalence of total diabetes(including diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes), undiagnosed diabetes and obesity were 20.54%, 3.37% and 40.68%, respectively. The family poverty level and education were significantly associated with the presence of diabetes with p=0.005 and 0.03,respectively. Highest prevalence diabetes and obesity existed in veterans aged 65yrs and over and 45-64yrs, respectively. The overall prevalence trend of diabetes significantly increased from 15.52% (95%CI: 12.36-18.68%) in 2005-2006 to 20.54% (95%CI:15.92-25.17%) (p=0.04 for trend test) and prevalence significantly increased in male veterans (p=0.04) and those who did not finish high school education (p=0.04) and who had college education (p=0.03). Conclusion: In 2013-2014, the estimated prevalence of diabetes was 20.54% among U.S. veterans, with higher prevalence among participants who were 65 years old or older, and had low socioeconomic status (including less education and poverty status).

Descriptive Analysis of Residential Structure Fire Fatalities in Appalachian and Non-Appalachian Counties of Tennessee, 2005-2014

Leinaar, Edward, Maisonet, Mildred 14 September 2016 (has links)
Background: Fire fatality rates have decreased nationally while increasing in Tennessee. Individual characteristics affect the likelihood of fatality. Identification of populations sustaining greater proportions of fire fatality within the State will better inform regional fire prevention activities. Objectives: To compare individual characteristics of fatalities occurring in residential structure fires in Appalachian and Non-Appalachian counties of Tennessee. Methods: Analyses of residential structure fire fatality in Tennessee from 2005 to 2014 were conducted using Tennessee Fire Incident Reporting System data, comparing Appalachian and Non-Appalachian county regions. Analyses were restricted to incidents occurring in noninstitutionalized residential environments. Census data was used to identify county-level demographic characteristics. Direct adjustment for age effects between regions was performed. Results: There was no difference in proportion of fatalities between Appalachian (37.28%) and Non-Appalachian (36.27%) counties. Distribution of gender was similar between regions. A greater proportion of fatalities were aged 65 and older, compared to other age groups. Age- adjusted death rates were higher for Non-Appalachian (13.63/100,000) than Appalachian (11.18/100,000) counties. Age-specific death rates for persons younger than five years was greater in Appalachia (18.06/100,000 vs. 11.94/100,000), while age-specific death rates were greater among Non-Appalachian counties for persons aged 65 and older (37.23/100,000 vs. 19.75/100,000). A greater proportion of fire fatalities occurred in mobile homes in Appalachian counties (18.4%) than Non-Appalachian counties (11.3%). Conclusion:
