This study proposes a novel approach to constructing composite indicators, utilizing discriminant analysis to identify the determining factors for the diagnosis of multidimensional depression and to provide an index that represents the multidimensionality of this construct. By focusing solely on factors that significantly correlate with the diagnosis of multidimensional depression, this method provides a more precise and objective representation of the problem. The application of the method to the 2019 Brazilian Health Survey data demonstrated its effectiveness, resulting in a composite indicator that separates individuals who self-declare as having depression from individuals who self-declare as not having depression. The results highlight individuals who have a limiting chronic condition, high levels of education, less support from friends and family, perform unhealthy work, and are male. In contrast, individuals with the opposite characteristics are associated with a negative multidimensional depression diagnosis. The proposed composite indicator not only improves the measurement accuracy but also offers a new means of visualizing and understanding the multidimensional nature of depression diagnosis, providing valuable information for the formulation of targeted public health policies aimed at reducing the time for which people show symptoms of depression.

Este estudo apresenta os resultados das propriedades termoluminescentes (TL) de discos de quartzo prensados com teflon, visando aplicações dosimétricas para feixes de raios X utilizados em exames de mamografia. Os resultados desta pesquisa mostraram que os discos de quartzo possuem alta sensibilidade, resposta TL linear com a dose de radiação, boa reprodutibilidade, baixo desvanecimento da resposta TL e tempo de vida útil do sinal TL adequado para o uso na dosimetria de raios X. Estes resultados foram comparados e discutidos em relação aos valores relatados na literatura para os dosímetros TL comerciais. Com esta pesquisa, também foi possível constatar a importância de realizar a leitura TL sempre na face irradiada dos discos, tendo em vista que a morfologia da superfície degradada pela manipulação e pelos procedimentos de irradiação, leitura TL e tratamentos térmicos, pode diminuir a sensibilidade dos discos, ocasionando maiores variações da resposta TL. Este fato foi confirmado com microscopia óptica e pela análise comparativa entre as leituras TL realizadas nas faces dos discos expostos a um feixe de raios X.

In the forestry sector, efficient planning of activities is considered essential for companies to achieve their goals and remain competitive in the market. In order to assist in this process, this work proposes the development and evaluation of a heuristic for generation of valid solutions for a forest production planning problem involving 120 stands and 81 management alternatives per field, totaling 9720 decision variables. In the tests carried out, such proposed heuristic presented promising results when compared to literature, indicating that it is capable of providing good quality solutions with low computational cost. Results also indicate that the inclusion of solutions obtained by using the proposed heuristic in the set of initial individuals/antibodies of Genetic Algorithm and Clonal Selection Algorithm can generate a significant improvement in the quality of final solutions and, consequently, in the performance of such meta-heuristics.
