Abstract Measuring organizational safety performance is critical in managing production systems. This practice allows decisions to be made objectively and based on data analysis. In the study of resilience engineering applied to the safety of production systems, there is interest on the part of the scientific community and companies in identifying, in the different processes of organizations, indicators to measure resilient performance in safety management. This study aims to discuss and analyze qualitative and quantitative methods to identify the potential for resilience in safety management and support new research on resilience engineering applied to safety performance management in industries with high technological risks. The methodology used included a systematic review of national and international literature from the last ten years. The results obtained provide a critical analysis of the methods used to define safety indicators applied through resilience engineering to occupational safety management in organizations that deal with high technological risks. Qualitative methods for generating safety indicators from the perspective of Resilience Engineering have proven to be a better way, as they apply the concepts of Safety I and Safety II and early warning indicators. systems identifying risks years way

Resumo: Considerando o importante papel desempenhado pelas grandes instituições bancárias em prol do desenvolvimento sustentável, especialmente devido ao porte e à capilaridade dessas organizações, objetiva-se neste artigo comparar indicadores de sustentabilidade (econômicos, ambientais e sociais) divulgados em relatórios de algumas dessas instituições que atuam no mercado brasileiro. Os quatro bancos selecionados para esta pesquisa são aqueles que publicaram os seus relatórios de sustentabilidade no padrão da Global Reporting Initiative para 2017 e que compunham a carteira do Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial, promovido pela “Brasil, Bolsa e Balcão”, em 2018. São eles: Banco do Brasil; Bradesco; Itaú; e Santander. Para a consecução da pesquisa foi utilizado o método Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) com o uso de ratings. Após a elaboração da estrutura hierárquica do problema, foi requerido que especialistas, pesquisadores da área de sustentabilidade, ponderassem o grau de relevância dos indicadores analisados nesta pesquisa. Construiu-se então um ranking dos bancos selecionados em relação ao desempenho de sustentabilidade, a partir dos pesos conferidos a cada indicador e dos dados disponíveis nos relatórios de sustentabilidade de cada instituição investigada. A ordem obtida no ranking foi a seguinte: Itaú; Santander; Bradesco; e Banco do Brasil. Conclui-se que os dados apontados neste trabalho mostram que há, no setor bancário, espaço para evolução em relação à sustentabilidade, principalmente na questão social. O método AHP com ratings se mostrou eficiente, especialmente por possibilitar ponderações dos critérios e subcritérios de avaliação, o que comprova sua utilidade na comparação de empresas no que concerne aos seus desempenhos de sustentabilidade.

Abstract: Large banking institutions play an important role in sustainable development, especially owing to their size and capillarity. Therefore, the objective of this study is to compare sustainability indicators (economic, environmental, and social) published in the reports of some of these institutions that operate in the Brazilian market. The four banks selected for this study were the ones that published their sustainability reports in the 2017 Global Reporting Initiative standard, and that comprised the portfolio of the Corporate Sustainability Index, promoted by “Brasil, Bolsa e Balcão,” in 2018. These banks were Banco do Brasil, Bradesco, Itaú, and Santander. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) with the use of ratings was used to carry out the research. After elaborating on the hierarchical structure of the problem, specialists, who were researchers in the field of sustainability, were required to weigh the degree of relevance of each of the indicators analyzed in this study. A ranking of the selected banks was then obtained in relation to their sustainability performances, which was based on the weights given to each indicator and the data available in the sustainability reports of each institution investigated. The banks were ranked in the following order: Itaú, Santander, Bradesco, and Banco do Brasil. The results of this study showed that there is room for evolution in relation to sustainability, mainly in the social department, in the banking sector. The AHP method with the use of ratings proved to be efficient, especially because it allowed for the weighing of the evaluation criteria and sub-criteria; this proved the usefulness of the method in comparing companies with regard to their sustainability performance.

Abstract Paper aims This study proposes, applies, and discusses a model based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method with the objective of assessing the issue of materiality of sustainability reports in the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) model of civil construction companies. Originality The published literature contains few studies that propose quantitative models for the assessment of materiality for sustainability reports. To address this data gap, the present research suggests new paths. Research method After the hierarchical structure of the model had been developed, specialists were asked to prioritize the criteria and sub-criteria in their orders of preference. Their decisions were collected through a questionnaire and the responses were included in the model using the individual aggregation of priorities method applied to the AHP. Main findings It was concluded that there is scope for improving the quality of sustainability reports, as there are companies that fail to disclose relevant topics according to the judgment of the specialists consulted in this study. Implications for theory and practice The AHP method with absolute measurement proved to be an efficient model, mainly because it allows for weighting of criteria and sub-criteria, demonstrating that it is useful for comparing the materiality of company reports.

Resumo: A administração pública brasileira possui milhares de órgãos e setores distribuídos pelo território nacional, em nível federal, estadual e municipal, desenvolvendo atividades que podem provocar impactos sociais e ambientais significativos. O objetivo desta pesquisa é propor um índice de sustentabilidade por meio do Modelo de Diagnóstico Socioambiental para o Setor Público (Disasp). Esse modelo baseia-se no Sistema Contábil Gerencial Ambiental, elaborado por pesquisadores da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. O modelo proposto complementa esse sistema incluindo as diretrizes da Agenda Ambiental da Administração Pública, programa do Ministério do Meio Ambiente que busca incentivar práticas de gestão socioambiental no setor governamental. O método Disasp foi testado em uma autarquia federal situada no município do Rio de Janeiro. Para o diagnóstico da instituição direcionou-se o questionário a sete gestores, contendo 124 questões, segundo oito eixos temáticos: Uso Racional dos Recursos Naturais e Bens Públicos; Gestão Adequada dos Resíduos; Qualidade de Vida no Ambiente de Trabalho; Sensibilização e Capacitação; Compras Públicas Sustentáveis; Construções Sustentáveis; Responsabilidade Socioambiental; e Gestão Institucional. Como resultado, obteve-se um índice de sustentabilidade considerado “fraco”, indicando a necessidade de esse órgão melhorar seu desempenho socioambiental. O estudo indica que o Disasp cumpriu de forma adequada seu papel como instrumento de avaliação socioambiental para o setor público. Para estudos futuros, pode-se estender a aplicação do método Disasp em outros momentos da autarquia estudada, bem como aplicá-lo a outros órgãos públicos.

Abstract: The Brazilian public administration system has thousands of organizations and departments at federal, state, and municipal levels, distributed throughout the national territory. These conduct activities that can have significant social and environmental impacts. The present research aims to propose a sustainability index through the Public Sector Social-environmental Diagnosis Model (DISASP). This model is based on the Environmental Management Accounting System developed by researchers from the Federal University of Santa Catarina. The proposed model complements this system by including the guidelines of the Environmental Public Administration Agenda, a Ministry of the Environment program that encourages socio-environmental management practices in the government sector. The DISASP method was tested in a federal autarky in the city of Rio de Janeiro. For institutional diagnosis, seven managers were sent a questionnaire containing 124 questions with eight thematic axes: Rational Use of Natural Resources and Public Goods; Adequate Waste Management; Quality of Life in the Work Environment; Awareness and Training; Sustainable Public Procurement; Sustainable Construction; Social and Environmental Responsibility; and Institutional Management. A “weak” sustainability index was obtained, indicating the need for this sector to improve its socio-environmental performance. The study indicated that DISASP adequately fulfilled its role as an instrument for assessing socio-environmental practices in the public sector. Future studies should extend application of the DISASP method to the autarky under study at various points in time, as well as apply it to other public agencies.

OBJECTIVES: In breast cancer diagnosis, mammography (MMG), ultrasonography (USG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the imaging methods most used. There is a scarcity of comparative studies that evaluate the accuracy of these methods in the diagnosis of breast cancer. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out through the review of electronic medical records of 32 female patients who underwent breast imaging examinations at a imaging diagnostic center in Teresina, State of Piauí, Brazil. Patients who had these three imaging methods at the time of the evaluation of the same nodule were included. The nodule must have been classified as suspect by the BI-RADS® system in at least one of the methods. Data from each method were compared with the histopathological examination. Statistical analysis used the calculation of proportions in Excel 2010. RESULTS: MMG showed 56.2%, 87.5%, 81.8%, 66.7% and 71.8% of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy, respectively. USG had 75%, 18.8%, 48%, 42.8% and 46.9% of sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy, respectively. In turn, MRI had 100%, 50%, 66.7%, 100% and 75% of sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy, respectively. CONCLUSION: Thus, MRI and MMG were more accurate in evaluating suspicious breast lumps. MRI had a low specificity, mainly to high breast density, while MMG had also sensitivity limited due to high breast density and USG has been proven to be useful in these patients.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the relationship between rs17576 (MMP-9) polymorphism and increased cancer risk in a Brazilian breast cancer cohort. METHODS: This study included 141 women (71 breast cancer patients and 70 controls without breast cancer) who donated 3 mL of their peripheral blood for genomic DNA extraction. This DNA was then genotyped using a real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: The AG (rs17576) genotype was identified in 26 (18.43%) participants in the case group and in 22 (15.60%) participants in the control group (p=0.274), while the GG genotype was identified in ten (7.09%) participants in the case group and in one (0.70%) participant in the control group (p<0.003 - OR (95% CI) 13.13 (1.73, 593.08). No significant difference in the incidence rates was observed for AG or GG rs17576 genotypes in premenopausal women, p=0.813 and p=0.556, respectively. However, in postmenopausal women, the AG genotype was shown to occur in 14 (22.5%) participants in the case group and in 4 (6.45%) participants in the control (p<0.043), while GG genotype occurred in eight (12.90%) of the individuals in the case group and in none of the individuals in the control group (p<0.006). CONCLUSION: In this study, the MMP-9 rs17576 GG polymorphic variant was shown to be significantly associated with breast cancer risk in premenopausal women, while the AG and GG genotypes were associated with increased cancer risk in postmenopausal women.

RESUMO Um sistema eficaz e robusto de tratamento de resíduos sólidos urbanos requer um modelo de previsão adequado para auxiliar seu gerenciamento. Neste trabalho foi realizada, utilizando séries temporais, a análise da projeção de geração dos resíduos sólidos no aterro do município de Aparecida de Goiânia, localizado no estado de Goiás. Para a compreensão da geração de resíduos foram analisadas as influências exercidas por variáveis climáticas e incentivos governamentais. O modelo que melhor se ajustou ao fenômeno estudado foi o autorregressivo integrado de média móvel sazonal (SARIMA), em decorrência da existência de sazonalidade na série temporal analisada. Como principal resultado, a previsão para a geração de resíduos sólidos urbanos em Aparecida de Goiânia projetou redução do volume produzido até 2018. A sazonalidade na geração de resíduos sólidos urbanos não ocorre por causa da influência de variáveis climáticas. A modelagem dos resíduos sólidos urbanos pode auxiliar na tomada de decisões e no gerenciamento da coleta, além de contribuir para o controle dos impactos ambientais.

ABSTRACT An effective and robust municipal solid-waste-treatment system requires a suitable forecast model to assist in its management. This work was carried out, using time series, an analysis of the projection of solid waste generation in the landfill of Aparecida de Goiânia, located in the State of Goiás. In order to understand the generation of residues, we analyzed the influences exerted by climatic variables and governmental incentives. The model that best fit the studied phenomenon was SARIMA, due to the presence of seasonality in the analyzed time series. As a main result, the forecast for the generation of solid urban waste in Aparecida de Goiânia projected a reduction of the volume produced until 2018. Seasonality in the generation of municipal solid waste does not occur due to the influence of climatic variables. The modeling of municipal solid waste can aid in decision-making and collection management, as well as in contributing to the environmental impacts control.

A problemática atual da questão ambiental remete-nos à discussão histórica da racionalidade científica, sobretudo nas sociedades ocidentais contemporâneas, onde o conflito entre a relação homem/meio natural fica evidenciado. Pretendendo dar conta deste conflito, a ecologia constituída como disciplina científica destaca-se como um campo problemático da ciência que busca integrar diversas disciplinas em torno de si. Alguns movimentos sociais, orientando-se por uma "visão ecologizada" (ecossistêmica) de mundo, partem para denunciar os impactos ambientais oriundos, dentre outros, do modelo tecno-industrial altamente poluidor, consumidor dos recursos naturais e gerador da atual desordem global da biosfera. Esses movimentos, sendo orientados por éticas diferenciadas, reivindicam mudanças do quadro social e ambiental da sociedade atual a fim de garantir as necessidades das futuras gerações.

Our modern concern over the environment brings us to the historical discussion of Scientific Rationalism, principally in contemporary western society, where the conflict between Man and the Natural World is at its greatest. In an attempt to solve this conflict, Ecology, a field of science, stands out riddled with problems, seeking to draw subjects from other fields into its own. Following an "ecologized world view" (Ecosystemics), some social currents denounce the environmental impact of, technological and industrial models, highly pollutant and dependent on natural resources, generating the contemporary disorder in our biosphere. These movements, following different schools of thought, demand changes in society, taking into consideration the present and future state of the environment.
