Objective: This study aimed to outline the epidemiological profile of reported cases of gestational syphilis in five cities in the Lower Amazon mesoregion between 2008 and 2018. Materials and Methods: The study was descriptive, bibliographic, and retrospective with a quantitative approach. The variables used were sociodemographic and epidemiological and the data was made available by the Ministry of Health in line with the Department of Surveillance, Prevention and Control of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STDs, HIV / AIDS) and Viral Hepatitis. The collected data were tabulated and processed with the aid of Microsoft Excel® 2010 and Action 2.8 software. Results: When characterizing the epidemiological profile, 949 reported cases of gestational syphilis were observed and the city of Santarém lead with 540 notifications. The age group between 20 and 29 years (52.6%), the race/color “Parda” (815), Incomplete Elementary School (42.7%) and the clinical classification of “Primary Syphilis” (465) predominated in all five cities. The prevailing gestational age was the “third trimester” and the treatment regimen adopted was Penicillin. Furthermore, the absence of some variables makes it difficult to build an epidemiological profile and efficient monetary targeting. Conclusion: Finally, this study can contribute to decisions by public agencies responsible for health care, as well as, instigate research in this region, in an attempt to grant more visibility to existing health problems, especially in the Amazonian interiors.

The issue of the classification of Kashin-Bek's disease has not been resolved until recently, while the clarification of the classification of this disease is important for the work of expert and control medical committees that establish temporary and permanent disability and also in determining whether the patient is able to work according to his physical condition.

Two polymorphisms in theIL4(G/C 3′-UTR) andIL5(C-703T) genes were studied in a sample of families whose probands had atopic bronchial asthma (BA) (66 families, n = 183) and in a group of non-cognate individuals with the severe form of the disease (n = 34). The samples were collected from the Russian population in the city of Tomsk (Russia). Using the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT), a significant association of allele C-703IL5with BA was established (TDT = 4.923,p= 0.007 ± 0.0007). The analysis of 40 individuals with mild asthma and 49 patients with the severe form of the disease revealed a negative association of genotype GGIL4(OR = 0.39, 95% CI = 0.15−0.99,p= 0.035), and also a trend towards a positive association of the GCIL4genotype (OR = 2.52, 95% CI = 0.98−6.57,p= 0.052) with mild BA. There was a concordance of the clinical classification of BA severity with the ‘genotype’ (McNemar'sχ2test with continuity correction constituted 0.03, d.f. = 1,p= 0.859). These results suggest that polymorphisms in theIL4andIL5genes contribute to the susceptibility to atopic BA and could determine the clinical course of the disease.

Objective: The present research aimed to identify which competences are desirable to the accountant from the perspective of the accounting professionals who work in the offices of the city of Vitória de Santo Antão, in Pernambuco. Methodology: A descriptive field survey research was carried out, with a quantitative approach and the use of a specific questionnaire, applied to a sample of 26 accounting firms. The study considered the classification of competencies of the standard established by the IFAC International Federation of Accountants (2012), categorized as: intellectual; technical and functional; personal; interpersonal and communication; and organizational and business management, as well as the use of the set of competencies defined by the studies of Cardoso (2006), Callado and Amorim (2017). The research data were collected in person and by email, being treated with the aid of Microsoft Excel software, enabling the construction of tables for analysis. Results: The competences of the accountant indicated by the professionals of the area working in the offices located in the city of Vitória de Santo Antão, in Pernambuco, were consistent with those provided by IFAC (HEI 3), highlighting them with the highest level of importance, among the five categories classified in that standard: ability to identify problems, acting in accordance with the legislation, acting with ethics and integrity, working in a team, knowing how to manage and organize time well. One notices a trend towards the new role of the accountant, who is no longer seen as a mere "bean counter" but as a "business partner". Study Contributions: Identifying and understanding which are the competencies required of the accounting professional can assist in the growth and development of the same in organizations, since even though there are several investigations on this subject, it is consensual the understanding that the competence of the accountant is a construct in formation, thus not consolidated. Another contribution is to present to the accounting science courses in the region what the market expects from students, so that they can organise a political pedagogic project. By recognising which competences are considered relevant from the perspectives of the professionals themselves, discussions are enabled that seek to find suggestions for improvements to their education, and also about their social role, considering changes in the political, economic and technological spheres.
