This study aimed to identify quality of life and its associated factors within women who are overweight and have noncommunicable diseases. It was a cross sectional study with a convenience sample of 50 adult and elderly women enrolled in an "Academia da Cidade" in Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil. For quality of life assessment, the WHOQOL-bref was used. A descriptive analysis in addition to uni and multivariate linear regression were conducted. "Social relations" was the domain which most have contributed to quality of life, followed by "physical" domain. Worse quality of life was associated with self-reported presence of gastritis/ulcer (beta = -11.980, p = 0.011), medication use (beta = -7.730, p = 0.035), high per capita consumption of sugar (beta = -0.092, 0.045), elevated body mass index (beta= -1.218, p = 0.048) and high carbohydrate intake (beta = -0.388, p = 0.042). Many factors are associated to quality of life, that should be considered in health programs.

The adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) leads to cost reduction in processes and organizational effectiveness. The effective use of ICTs, however, greatly depends on their good governance, especially due to the impact generated by investments in information and communication technologies. In this scenario, we aimed at defining the state of art of IT governance in SMEs. A broad review of the literature on IT governance in SMEs was performed. The results indicated a field of research with little development, with 32 studies identified until the year 2018. Three research lines were observed. Initially, the researchers have discussed the barriers and characteristics of ITG in SMEs. In the next step, the studies were directed to the establishment of an ITG framework applicable to SMEs reality. The last line of research observed the IT capacities in relation to the environment in which the SME operates. The studies indicated a prevalence of qualitative approaches under the positivist paradigm.
