Features of Interactions Between Research Groups and Organizations Features of interactions between research groups and organizations: evidence from a longitudinal analysis of the Brazilian innovative health system Janaina Ruffoni (PPGE /UNISINOS) Research Group: Innovation Systems, Strategy and Policies (InSysPo) Ana Lucia Tatsch (PPGE/UFRGS), Marisa Botelho (PPGE/UFU), Lara Stumpf International Seminar - Innovation Ecosystems, Upgrading, and Regional Development (FCE/UFRGS) and Rafael Stefani Session 3 - Regional Innovation Ecosystems, Smart Specialization, GVCs (PPGE/UFRGS) Campinas, June 7th, 2018. Summary 1. Subjects 2. Research question and objective 3. TheoreticaL framework 4. Method 5. Discussion 6. Conclusions 1. Subjects Innovation in human health area: • A Science-based character of different segments - ‘drug and pharmaceutical industrY’ and ‘medicaL machinery and equipment’ - make these sectors important from the point of innovative activities. • Networks structured bY muLtipLe agents are the tYpicaL organizationaL waY to generate knowLedge and carrY out innovative processes in the heaLth area. This studY aims to contribute to the characterization of processes that generate knowledge and innovation in the health sector in emerging countries such as BraziL. 2. Research question and objective Research question Which features are presented in the interaction networks between research groups* and other organizations** in the health sector in emerging countries? And how have such networks evolved recentLY? Objective Examine how the networks have been characterized over time and how they have evolved concerning their characteristics and attributes. * UniversitY-based research groups. ** Firms, hospitaLs, universities, associations, coLLeges and pubLic institutions. 3. Theoretical framework Evolutionary Economy and Geography • Innovation as a social process • Interactions with different actors to deveLop and transfer knowledge. • Proximities as important factor to expLain interactions. • Innovation system. • Innovation in human health area • Interactions, muLtidiscipLinaritY, and diversitY of actors. 4. Method • The database used was ‘DGP/CNPq’ CNPq is BraziL’s NationaL CounciL for Scientific and TechnologicaL DeveLopment. DGP is the ‘DirectorY of Research Groups’ registered at CNPq. It is the onLY database avaiLabLe in BraziL with a Large amount of data reLated to research groups that interact with diverse organizations. • The data was coLLected from three censuses for a longitudinal analysis: 2010, 2014 and 2016 (data for the Year 2012 were not avaiLable) • The method chosen was the Social Network Analysis (SNA). It fits appropriatelY with the proposaL and object of anaLYsis: the interactions estabLished bY the research groups. 4. Method • Rio Grande do Sul (RS) was chosen as subject and this state is: * the third highest number of interactive research groups in all areas of knowledge in BraziL, surpassed onLY bY São PauLo and Rio de Janeiro (DGP, 2016) * the third highest number of interactive research groups in heaLth sciences; • Porto Alegre is the capital of RS and its metropoLitan region (RMPA): * is one of BraziL’s regions with greater scientific specialization in health. It was aLready highlighted back in 2006 (Chaves and Albuquerque, 2006) and remains a realitY todaY.

Received on 11 January 2018 Accepted on 01 June 20201 ABSTRACT: This article estimates a knowledge production function for Brazilian universities, relating their inputs of scientific activity, such as the total of academic and administrative personnel and investments in scientific research, among others, to their outputs, such as the number of publications and patents. The article applies econometric models for count data, such as the Negative Binomial, for the 2003-2011 period. The overall results show that the main determinants of Brazilian scientific and technological production are the size of the university, its nature (whether public or private), the ratio of teaching staff and graduate students, and total investments in research and research support.

It was developed with ten mothers of child/adolescent with cerebral palsy who attend an Association of Parents and Friends of Special of a city located in the north of the State of Rio Grande do Sul/Brazil. The information was collected through the phenomenological interview, from April to June 2015 and was interpreted with the hermeneutics of Ricoeur. The results showed that the mother of the child/adolescent with cerebral palsy reorganized her life in order to dedicate herself exclusively to the care of the child, offering her the maximum of existential possibilities.

V Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre – UFCSPA, Physiotherapy Department, Porto Alegre/RS, Brazil. OBJECTIVES: The six-minute walk test has been widely used to evaluate functional capacity and predict mortality in several populations. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of the six-minute walk test for the life expectancy of end-stage renal disease patients. METHODS: Patients over 18 years old who underwent hemodialysis for at least six months were included. Patients with hemodynamic instability, smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, physical incapacity and acute myocardial stroke in the preceding three months were excluded. RESULTS: Fifty-two patients (54% males; 36¡11 years old) were followed for 144 months. The distance walked in the six-minute walk test was a survival predictor for end-stage renal disease patients.

Thus, it arises a new paradigm, ubiquitous learning, and enabling differentiated III, we introduce the study of learning styles. In Section IV, instruction. This article presents a survey that has founded, by we introduce the results and discussions. In Section V, there analyzing evidential theory and practice, the similarity are partial considerations and at the last Section are between the different dimensions of learning styles, presenting presented the references. an adaptation of the ubiquitous environment seamlessly with the style of the predominant user. II. UBIQUITOUS LEARNING Ubiquitous learning or u-learning is viewed these days Keywords-learning styles; ubiquitous learning; mobile as a new learning paradigm. This expansion of previous computing.

Received on 11 January 2018 Accepted on 01 June 20201 ABSTRACT: This article estimates a knowledge production function for Brazilian universities, relating their inputs of scientific activity, such as the total of academic and administrative personnel and investments in scientific research, among others, to their outputs, such as the number of publications and patents. The article applies econometric models for count data, such as the Negative Binomial, for the 2003-2011 period. The overall results show that the main determinants of Brazilian scientific and technological production are the size of the university, its nature (whether public or private), the ratio of teaching staff and graduate students, and total investments in research and research support.
