Objetivos específicos: 1) Identificar os acessórios presentes no quarto/sala do domicílio que pode3m desencadear crises de asma. 2) Verificar a freqüência de crises de asma entre as crianças e adolescentes estudados, se 1 a 3 ou 4 a mais crises. 3) Verificar presença de sono prejudicado, chiado forte, chiado após exercício físico e tosse seca á noite segundo o ISAAC. 4) Verificar o conhecimento das mães sobre asma 5) Verificar o conhecimento dos agentes comunitários de saúde sobre asma; 6) Comparar o conhecimento das mães e dos agentes comunitários de saúde sobre asma. 7) Comparar o grau de controle ambiental com freqüências de crises de asma. Foram estudados 210 crianças e adolescentes com asma, destes 163(77,6%) pacientes apresentaram de uma a três crises e 47(22,4%) apresentaram de quatro a mais crises de asma. Verificou-se ainda que 51,4% dos pacientes perdem uma ou mais noite de sono durante a crise. Em quase metade das residências estudadas havia umidade e acessórios inadequados no quarto de dormir bem como em 36,7% dos pacientes houve relato de exposição passiva ao fumo. A maioria das mães(75,7%) apresentam conhecimento insuficiente sobre asma apesar da grande maioria dos agentes comunitários possuírem conhecimento satisfatório sobre a doença. Mais de 60% das mães e agentes de saúde apresentam preconceitos quanto ao tratamento medicamentoso acreditando por exemplo que o uso do beta-2 adrenérgico em spray vicia. Quando se comparou o nível de controle ambiental na residência de pacientes com freqüência de 1 a 3, em relação com a freqüência de 4 a mais crises de asma, não foi encontrada diferença significante (p>0,05)

Pays pourtant aux énormes potentialités favorables au développement du pastoralisme, la République Centrafricaine est confronté depuis plus d’une décennie déjà à une situation de crise prolongée accentuée par une grave crise sécuritaire et humanitaire en 2013. Cette crise a lourdement affectée le secteur agricole dont l’élevage pastoral demeure l’une des composantes les plus importantes. Aujourd’hui comme par le passé, les éleveurs s’organisent pour faire face à ces chocs et la mobilité a été pendant très longtemps la stratégie principale de réponse. Toutefois du fait de l’ampleur des récentes crises et leurs conséquences, cette question cruciale nous revient toujours : la mobilité pastorale est-elle la clé de l’adaptation et du maintien du pastoralisme en RCA ?Cette thèse qui s’appuie sur deux études de cas centrée sur des données qualitatives se propose de répondre à cette question centrale en étudiant les systèmes d’élevage pastoraux, notamment les stratégies d’adaptation des ménages éleveurs dans un contexte de mobilité pastorale et de pays en situation de post-conflit. La recherche a été menée dans deux campements pastoraux situés dans la sous-préfecture de Birao (Terfel) et celle de Bambari (Bangui-Banda). Elle montre que la mobilité est loin de toucher à sa fin et qu’elle revient avec force comme la principale stratégie dans la situation de grande crise sécuritaire telle que celle vécue par la RCA en 2013. Il résulte aussi de cette thèse qu’une meilleure compréhension des systèmes pastoraux passe par une mobilisation des enjeux locaux. / Yet a country with enormous potentialities for the development of pastoralism, the Central African Republic has been confronted for more than a decade by a prolonged crisis situation accentuated by a serious security and humanitarian crisis in 2013. This crisis has greatly affected the agricultural sector. pastoral farming remains one of the most important components. Today, as in the past, pastoralists are organizing themselves to cope with these shocks and mobility has for a very long time been the main strategy of response. However, because of the scale of the recent crises and their consequences, this crucial question always comes back to us: is pastoral mobility the key to adapting and maintaining pastoralism in CAR?This thesis, which is based on two case studies focusing on qualitative data, proposes to answer this central question by studying pastoral livestock farming systems, particularly the adaptation strategies of pastoralist households in a context of pastoral mobility and countries in post-conflict situations. The research was carried out in two pastoral camps located in the sub-prefecture of Birao (Terfel) and that of Bambari (Bangui-Banda). It shows that mobility is far from being over and that it is coming back with force as the main strategy in the situation of great security crisis such as that experienced by the CAR in 2013. It also results from this thesis that a better Understanding pastoral systems involves mobilizing local issues.

The general objective of this dissertation is to analyze the transmission of global economic crises in order to provide useful information to preserve the stability of the economy. To attain this general objective, three specific objectives are pursued through the different chapters of this study. Chapter 2 analyses the contagion effect in the US banking sector. To achieve this goal, the spatial correlation methodology is used to capture the effect of the risk-taking of banks that belong to a same neighborhood. Our results reveal the usefulness of the approach proposed by this dissertation as a proper tool to track and monitor the contagion in the banking sector. In particular, we provide evidence of a significant contagion effect thorough three different channels: banks that belong to the same state, same Federal-Reserve district, and are of the same size. Furthermore, National banks show no significant contagion which evidences an important stability of this group of banks. Finally, the pure-panic hypothesis is rejected given that there is no significant contagion effect transmitted from one bank to the whole banking sector. Chapter 3 studies the determinants of the transmission of global economic crises across countries. An Event Study is used to determine the number of days that a global disturbance takes to impact a stock market. This constitutes our measure of the transmission effect. Moreover, we use Survival Analysis in order to identify macroeconomic determinants of the transmission of global crises across countries. Therefore, a set of macroeconomic variables are identified to have a significant impact on the probability of transmission of a global economic crisis. As a consequence, these variables can be used to decrease the probability of transmission and then preserve the stability of the economy. Chapter 4 investigates the determinants of the long-term interest rate parity in order to provide useful information to decrease the cost of international funding. In this way, the ability to face the consequences of economic crises can be enhanced by the access to cheaper funding for public policies. In addition, we test the uncovered interest rate parity (UIRP) hypothesis. By using a Gravity model, we provide a set of macroeconomic determinants of the long-term interest rate differential. Furthermore, we provide evidence that supports the UIRP which is an important contribution to the interest-rate literature given most of the empirical studies rejects this hypothesis.

Orientador: Adilson Marques Gennari / Banca: Daniel Augusto Feldmann / Banca: Paulo Alves de Lima Filho / Resumo: A reprodução do sistema do capital mudou. Isto não significa dizer que a acumulação capitalista prescinde agora dos esquemas reprodutivos ligados ao capital industrial, como descrito por Marx; nem que a geração de valor não se dê mais pela força de trabalho subordinada ao capital. A modificação se dá justamente pela subsunção das formas clássicas a um novo componente estrutural: a financeirização. Pois o que surge é um novo regime de acumulação, predominantemente financeirizado, reconfigurando a reprodução do sistema e impondo sua lógica. Por isso, a esfera financeira aumenta em importância em relação à esfera produtiva, aumento este que deve ser entendido como concomitante aumento do papel desempenhado pela forma funcional autonomizada do capital: o capital portador de juros. O capital financeiro se apresenta, pois, como a etapa mais avançada do sistema capitalista e se distingue pelo caráter universal e permanente das atuações especulativas e de criação contábil de capitais fictícios; a constituição de um complexo aparato financeiro se faz necessária pela natureza intrinsicamente especulativa da gestão dos grupos industriais, dada a prática de ampliar ficticiamente o valor do capital existente. E nessa nova configuração da reprodução capitalista não só a atuação do Estado se altera, mas também a forma como o Estado se relaciona com a própria reprodução do sistema. Desvendar estas novas determinações entre Estado e capital, portanto, se faz necessário se se quer compreender de maneira mais clara a crise estrutural do capital na contemporaneidade, inserindo-as como elemento central a esta crise. Pois o Estado capitalista representa uma forma orgânica do capital, vital ao seu processo de reprodução social, seja em suas funções políticas centrais ou naquelas intimamente vinculadas às suas funções econômicas, ligadas ao processo de acumulação e reprodução. Portanto, este trabalho... / Abstract: The reproduction of the capitalist system has changed. It does not mean that the capitalist accumulation now does not depend on the reproductive schemes associated to the industrial capital, as described by Marx; or that the value generation does not occurs anymore for the workforce subordinated to capital. The change occurs exactly in the subsumption of the classical forms to a new structural component: the financialization. What emerges is a new regime of accumulation, predominantly financialized, reconfiguring the system reproduction and imposing its logic. Therefore, the financial sphere increases in importance regarding the productive sphere, and such increase should be understood as a concomitant increase in the role played by the autonomized functional form of capital: the interest-bearing capital. Therefore, the financial capital appears as the most advanced stage of the capitalist system and is distinguished by the universal and permanent character of speculative performances and accounting creation of fictitious capital; the establishment of a complex financial apparatus is necessary because of the intrinsically speculative nature of the management of industrial groups, through the practice of extending fictitiously the value of the existing capital. And in this new configuration of the capitalist reproduction, not only the State action changes, but the relation of State with its own reproduction system also changes. Therefore, it is necessary to unveil these new determinations between the state and the capital if one wants to understand more clearly the structural crisis of the capital in the contemporary times, inserting them as a central element of this crisis. Since the capitalist state represents an organic form of capital, essential to its social reproduction process, either on their main political functions or on those strictly connected to their economic functions, associated to the accumulation and reproduction process... / Mestre

There are several methods to predict financial crises. There are also several types of indicators used by financial institutions. These indicators, which are estimated in different ways, often show various developments, although it is not possible to directly assess which is the most suitable. Here, we still try to find what characteristics that industry group has and forecast financial crises In this paper, our data started from monthly of 1977 January to 2008 December in S&P100. We consider Fama-French and Cluster Analysis to process data to make data with same characteristic within a group. Then, we use GARCH type models and apply it to VaR predicting stock turmoil. In conclusion, we found that the group which has high kurtosis value is the key factor for predicting stock crises instead of volatility. Moreover, the characteristics of this industry which can predict stock crises is a great scale. On the other hand, we can through this model to double check the reaction for anticipating. Therefore, people can do some actions to control risk to reduce the loss.
