    Alternative logics coexistence and collaboration: the consumer protection field
    (Brazilian Soc Urol, 2016) Ryngelblum, Arnaldo; Vianna, Nadia; Onusic, Luciana [UNIFESP]
    Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine the conditions that allow the co-existence of alternative logics in an institutional field for an extended period. Design/methodology/approach -This is a case study that examined the complaint-handling processes of phone companies based on documentary research, which provided the information that allowed the development of a script to interview organizational actors in this field. Findings -The explanation for this behavior that does not attempt to deinstitutionalize other institutions' practices relates to the actors' need for the other field participants' collaboration to improve their activities. Research limitations/implications -The specific characteristics of the Brazilian context can only suggest that alternative logics may coexist, which therefore opens opportunities for future studies to discuss the possible reproduction of these results in other societies. Similarly, because this research was restricted to the complaint field, other studies conducted in fields where actors are faced with alternative possibilities, such as with the judicial system, should examine and expand on these concepts. This study sought to cover the viewpoints of multiple important actors in the field to cover the whys and hows these logics coexist. However, a more comprehensive availability of respondents might have brought still better insights to the study. Practical implications -One implication of this study is the fact that firms in Brazil must be aware of the alternative redress channels that are available to consumers. The different procedural norms can cause a great deal of annoyance because firms have to be updated with all of them and eventually build specialized teams to address them. The awareness of the existence of multiple logics in this field should orient the Brazilian telephony industry's regulator in formulating policies that take this fact into consideration. To do this, the regulator should consider a regular consultation forum in which the main consumer protection organizations and government agencies gather to discuss improvements given that there is already informal collaboration. Public policy should also take into consideration the fact that consumers do not complain most of the time for lack of knowledge or disbelief in supporting organizations. Originality/value -The main contribution is the alternative logics notion in addressing complaints in this field. This is an issue that has not been practically explored in the literature. The difference between an alternative logic and a competing one lies in the fact that the practices, structures and symbols in the first case represent alternative possibilities for actors to achieve a specific objective, whereas in the second case, the weaker logics tend to disappear due to a stronger one.

    Control of stress-induced acth secretion by vasopressin and crh: additional evidence
    (Karger, 2016) Ramos, Adriana T. [UNIFESP]; Tufik, Sergio [UNIFESP]; Troncone, Lanfranco R. P.
    Vasopressin and CRH have complementary roles in the secretion of ACTH following different stress modalities. The concomitant use of V-1b and CRF1 receptor antagonists completely inhibits ACTH secretion in response to different stress modalities. The combination of the CRF1 antagonist SSR125543 with the V-1b antagonist SSR149415 effectively suppressed plasma ACTH 1.30 h after injection in rats stressed by ether vapor inhalation for 1 min, restraint stress for 1 h or forced swimming for 5 min. The duration of the effect was also studied. The CRF1 antagonist effectively suppressed ACTH secretion in restraint stress, while the V-1b antagonist was effective against ether inhalation. Both antagonists were necessary to block the forced swimming stress response. SSR125543 induced a prolonged effect and can be used in a model of prolonged HPA axis blockade. (C) 2016 S.

    Studies on benthic communities of rocky shores on the brazilian coast and climate change monitoring: status of knowledge and challenges
    (Oxford Univ Press, 2016) Coutinho, Ricardo; Yaginuma, Luciana Erika; Siviero, Fernanda; Santos, Julio Cesar Quintanilha Peres dos; Lopez, Maria Soledad; Christofoletti, Ronaldo Adriano [UNIFESP]; Berchez, Flavio; Ghilardi-Lopes, Natalia Pirani; Ferreira, Carlos Eduardo Leite; Goncalves, Jose Eduardo Arruda; Masi, Bruno Pereira; Correia, Monica Dorigo; Sovierzoski, Hilda Helena; Skinner, Luis Felipe; Zalmon, Ilana Rosental
    A rocky shores working group (WG) integrated with ReBentos (Monitoring Network for Coastal Benthic Habitats; Rede de Monitoramento de Habitats Bentônicos Costeiros) was created and linked to the Coastal Zones Sub Network of the Climate Network (MCT; Sub-Rede Zonas Costeiras da Rede Clima) and to the National Institute of Science and Technology for Climate Change (INCT-MC; Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia para Mudanças Climáticas), to study the vulnerability of benthic communities on rocky shores and the effects of environmental changes on biomes in such environments along the Brazilian coast. The synthesis presented here was one of the products of this GT, and aimed to collect and review existing knowledge on benthic communities present on rocky shores of the Brazilian coast, their associated biodiversity, and the potential of future studies to accurately predict/measure the effects of climate change on such environments and their biota.
