Full text linkThe paper proposes a reflection on the complexity involving the misallocation of institutional income in Brazil, through the analysis of imbalances of institutional income and fiscal management of subnational entities. The inter and intra-regional income disparity is high and equalization mechanisms are ineffective to equate the vertical gap and the horizontal gap, which shows the need for continuous improvement of the institutions responsible for relations and federal policies. The idea is that the vision of territorial planning ad opted by the National Policy for Regional Development (PNDR) to reduce regional disparities should consider addressing the gap sand weaknesses of fiscal federal entities. The results found may indicate a situation of heterogeneity between the groups, however, the focus of analysis followed for a finding of internal heterogeneity in each group. In this sense, the research allowed, above all, to highlight problems such as the precariousness of the Brazilian tax system and municipal fiscal policies, and can subsidize an agenda of policy-related proposals, such as a PNDR, of legislative and institutional changes in the regional theme.O artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a complexidade que envolve a má distribuição de renda institucional no Brasil, através da análise dos desequilíbrios da renda institucional e da gestão fiscal dos entes subnacionais. A disparidade inter e intrarregional de renda é elevada e os mecanismos de equalização são pouco efetivos para equacionar o vertical gap e o horizontal gap, o que mostra a necessidade de aperfeiçoamento permanente das instituições responsáveis pelas relações e políticas federativas. A ideia é de que a visão de planejamento territorial adotada pela Política Nacional de Desenvolvimento regional (PNDR) para reduzir os desequilíbrios regionais deveria considerar o enfrentamento dos hiatos e das fragilidades fiscais dos entes federativos. Os resultados encontrados podem indicar uma possível existência de heterogeneidade entre os grupos, porém, o foco das análises seguiu para a constatação de uma heterogeneidade interna a cada grupo. Neste sentido, o trabalho permitiu, sobretudo, evidenciar os problemas e as precariedades do sistema fiscal brasileiro e das políticas fiscais municipais, podendo subsidiar uma agenda de propostas ligadas às políticas, como a PNDR, de mudanças legislativas e institucionais na temática regional
Effective hospital response to covid-19: evidence from social healthcare organizations in Brazil and Portugal
Full text linkThis study analyzes the impact of effective knowledge management, organizational intelligence, and organizational performance on the effective hospital response and social health to covid-19. Data were collected through a research questionnaire sent to physicians and nurses who worked in hospitals in Brazil and Portugal. We sent the survey link using a professional social network and 101 valid responses were obtained. The PLS-SEM analysis technique was used to test hypotheses. The results showed that there is a positive relationship between the constructs of effective knowledge management and organizational performance, and effective response to covid-19. This study also indicates that effective knowledge management has a positive association with organizational intelligence and organizational performance, in addition to a positive relationship between organizational intelligence and organizational performance. As practical implications, our research reinforces the importance of effective knowledge management for pandemic management and validates the relationships between effective knowledge management, organizational intelligence, organizational performance, and hospital response effectiveness. From these results, hospitals and social health organizations will be able to improve their effectiveness in responding to new disease outbreaks. As originality, this work presents a model to manage the response of these health care and hospital institutions to pandemics
Quantifying individual variation in reaction norms using random regression models fitted through Legendre polynomials: application in eucalyptus breeding.
Full text linkAn accurate, efficient and informative statistical method for analyses of genotype × environment (G × E) interactions is a key requirement for progress in any breeding program. Thus, the objective of this study was to quantify individual variation in reaction norms using random regression models fitted through Legendre polynomials in eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.) breeding. To this end, a data set with 215 eucalyptus clones of different species and hybrids evaluated in four environments for diameter at breast height (DBH) and Pilodyn penetration (PP) was used. Variance components were estimated by restricted maximum likelihood, and genetic values were predicted by best linear unbiased prediction. The best-fitted model for DBH and PP was indicated by the Akaike information criterion, and the significance of the genotype effects was tested using the likelihood ratio test. Genetic variability between eucalyptus clones and very high accuracies ( r^gg >=0.90 ) were detected for both traits. Reaction norms and eigenfunctions generated genetic insights into G × E interactions. This is the first study that quantified individual variation in reaction norms using random regression models fitted through Legendre polynomials in eucalyptus breeding and demonstrated the great potential of this technique
Marketing Investments and Company Value in Developing Countries
No full textABSTRACT The evolution of the economic context has intensified competition in retail, creating new challenges for companies. Among these challenges are the difficulty of measuring the results of marketing activities, the inconsistency in the sources of information, and the disregard of the temporal characteristics of the returns on these investments. Considering that this context may differ depending on a country’s stage of development, the objective of this study is to analyze the impact of marketing investments on the value of companies. To this end, Tobin’s Q was used as a financial variable and the sample was divided into two groups to discriminate between developed and developing countries. The sample included 1,872 companies from 97 countries. The technique used for analysis was a hierarchical multilevel model of panel data. The results reveal that investment in marketing has a positive relationship with the financial indicator Tobin’s Q, and the impact of such investments in developing countries is greater than it is in developed countries. Thus, from the results of this work, it can be concluded that marketing investments have a beneficial potential for societies, especially those that are in economic environments considered to be in development.</div
