O mercado financeiro possui diversos tipos de operadores buscando lucros com diferentes focos de atuação. Temos, por exemplo, especuladores tentando prever futuras variações nos ativos, ou bancos provendo liquidez para as demandas das empresas. De qualquer maneira, cada ativo financeiro normalmente contém diversos riscos de mercado na sua precificação. Além disso, muitos desses riscos são, na verdade, indesejáveis, fazendo com que seja necessário buscar proteção contra eles, utilizando-se de outros ativos. Assim, numa carteira com diversos produtos, é vital para sua administração a divisão por fator específico de risco de mercado. O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em resolver uma demanda real de uma gestora de recursos onde o autor atuou: desenvolver uma ferramenta capaz de calcular os ganhos ou perdas de uma carteira de ativos, detalhando o resultado por tipo de risco de mercado. Para isso foi desenvolvido um sistema no formato de add-in de Excel no qual é possível definir as diversas curvas de mercado para diferentes datas, assim como calcular o valor presente dos ativos. Com isso, é também possível determinar o valor total do portfolio e a variação de um dia para o outro, conhecido como PNL diário. Nesta dissertação serão mostrados detalhes da implementação do sistema e será proposta uma metodologia para calcular o PNL por cada risco de mercado. O trabalho também apresentará o racional por trás da escolha de cada método, e também discutirá como eles poderiam ser refinados. Palavras-chave: Ativos do mercado financeiro brasileiro, Resultado por fator de risco, Gerindo um portfolio.

The present study aimed to analyze the epidemiology of Visceral Canine Leishmaniasis (VCL) in the municipality of Itaporanga-PB between the years 2015 and 2016. 180 records of notification and investigation of suspected dogs deposited at the Municipal Health Department were retrieved, where the variables were analyzed using the absolute number and relative frequency, applying the chi-square test. The seroprevalence corresponded to 13,3% when associated to two diagnostic methodologies: rapid immunochromatographic test (TR DPP®) and ELISA (EI LCV). Of the 24 seropositive dogs, male (70,8%), undecided (79,2%), urban area (70,8%) and age greater than two years (70,8%) prevailed. The analysis of the clinical signs revealed statistical significance and presence of risk between alopecia (p= 0,001; OR= 7,474; PR= 4,237) and multiple wounds (p= 0,000; OR= 7,667; PR= 4,529) with seropositivity. Seroprevalence in Itaporanga-PB was compared to other municipalities in Paraíba, Northeast and Brazil, and the other variables and risk factors were discussed with the literature. Due to the epidemiological situation of the city, the continuation of canine serological surveys in subsequent years and the application of other prophylactic measures for parasitosis.

In recent years, several disorders to mental health have been observed, such as mental and behavioral disorders, and the use of psychotropic drugs has increased considerably. Thus, the study of the use of psychotropic drugs becomes important because it allows the elucidation of the prevalence of use, as well as, promote the rational use of medications, besides causing in the provision of data that allow the creation of public policies, related to medicines targeted to the population. However, there is a significant shortage of studies that address this issue. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the profile of psychotropic medication use of users of the Center for Psychosocial Care (CAPS) of Cuité-PB. This was a transversal, descriptive, exploratory and analytical study of a quantitative nature, from a non-probabilistic population for convenience. Data collection was performed using a semi-structured questionnaire and data were compiled in the Microsoft Excel 2013 programs and the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The profile of users was predominantly of individuals with 20-29 years of age (34.2%), male (59.2%), low schooling (46%) and family income of 1 to 3 minimum wages (65.8%). In addition, CAPS patients had regular medical follow-up (93.4%) and were accompanied by friends / family during consultations (65.8%). Regarding the diagnosis and treatment, it was observed that most of the studied population suffered from schizophrenia (35%) and the most prescribed drugs were antipsychotic (78.3%), being swallowed mainly with water (84.2%). Thus, these data can help in the organization of the mental health services offered to the community, besides highlighting the importance of CAPS in strengthening comprehensive treatment and for greater adherence and improvement of the quality of life of users.

Fungi of the genus Rhodotorula have the capacity to cause the development of infections, especially in immunosuppressed patients and can lead to death. This study aimed to make a systematic review of the Rhodotorula sp. in a hospital environment, focusing hands of health professionals, surfaces of objects present in hospitals and the air. The bibliographic survey was carried out in the databases Scielo, Lilacs, PubMed, Science Direct and Periodical Capes, of articles published between the years 2000 to 2017. In the literature review, 3164 publications were retrieved, of which 56 had their texts fully evaluated and only 7 were selected to compose the results. The prevalence of Rhodotorula sp. in the different studies ranged from 3.3% to 23.7%, where 1170 samples were contaminated by fungi, of which the genus Rhodotorula was found in 71 samples (6.1%), where 13% = 9) were detected on surfaces of objects and equipment, 14% (n = 10) were found in the hands of health professionals and 73% (n = 52) in the air. In this way, it is necessary that more strict measures of cleaning are adopted by the hospitals in order to diminish the presence of these microorganisms and to prevent the development of infections.
