“…According to a study by Langford and Schwartz (2018), there is 75% likelihood that 340 Africans out of every thousand will be colonized with ESβLs in Asia, the origin of VEB type ESβLs ). Sampaio and Theiler (2015) have speculated that traffic from Low and Middle-income countries to South America (origin of GES) will increase, due to cheaper higher-education study options and low-cost vacation preferences (Maringe et al, 2013;Sampaio, 2015). These travel trends constitute the highest risk of the influx of these ESβL subsets.…”

Background: Multidrug resistance remains a challenge in the treatment of Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) in Nigeria, a key factor being the occurrence of ESBL producers. Earlier reports have emphasized the occurrence of major ESBLs, little is known about the minor subtypes' occurrence in this regard.Objective: This study sought to evaluate the occurrence of major and minor ESβL producers among a cohort of uropathogens collected from a Nigerian Teaching Hospital using molecular techniques.Material and Methods: Cultures from 1000 UTI positive urine specimens were collected from the hospital laboratory between May 2015 and December 2017. All samples were subjected to standard isolation culturing techniques and identified. They were further tested for susceptibility to 8 antibiotics. Of these, gram-negative isolates with presumptive ESBL production were evaluated for confirmatory ESBL production using Chromogenic ESBL agar (Oxoid) and Agar Dilution tests. One hundred and twenty-five of them were evaluated for the presence of six ESBL genes (TEM, SHV, CTX-M 15, PER, GES, VEB) using Multiplex PCR/Agarose Gel Electrophoresis.Results: The results revealed that 40 out of 97 (41%) detected ESBL genes were of the ESBL minor category (VEB, PER, and GES). These ESBL producers were also observed to be resistant to at least five of the 8 antibiotics tested.Conclusion: More attention should be paid to the emergence minor ESBL producers among uropathogens in this environment as they represent a potential underlying influence on the observed treatment failure in the treatment of UTI.

“…Consequently, most graduate work and research is done in public institutions, with a predominant role for federal institutions and for state universities in São Paulo. Sampaio (2015) argues that this structure has made public and private institutions complementary, with a more intensive focus on graduate studies and research at the former and on undergraduate (humanities and social sciences) courses at the latter. Research activities are concentrated geographically in the state of São Paulo and in the Southeast region of Brazil, stressing the limited role of research in other institutions, even public ones.…”

This study describes characteristics of academic inbreeding in the Brazilian higher education system. Results show the rate of inbreeding significantly differs among distinct types of institutions, fields of knowledge, states and university ranking tiers. According to this study, inbreeding is most likely to be found in established elite research institutions, concentrated in the Southeast of Brazil, in the STEM fields. These also happen to be the main providers and most prestigious consumers of the well‐trained local academic workforce, supporting the conclusion that both internal and external factors could be influencing the high concentration of inbred scholars at prominent alma maters. It contributes to international literature by evaluating the role of individual characteristics and by showing how the expansion of higher education to more geographically distant areas may establish different patterns of inbreeding.

“…Em contraste à diversidade e volume de recursos ao alcance dos conglomerados educacionais, o financiamento das instituições sem fins lucrativos é composto predominantemente pelas mensalidades estudantis. A pressão exercida pelo subsistema lucrativo tem provocado a falência de instituições privadas sem fins lucrativos, especialmente dos estabelecimentos pequenos e de gestão familiar (Sampaio, 2015). Outra consequência para esta categoria de instituições tem sido a Plural 29.1 Clarissa Tagliari diminuição, desde o início dos anos 2000, da participação relativa das instituições comunitárias nas matrículas (Bittencourt et al, 2014) e sua aproximação com o modelo de gestão empresarial (Fioreze, 2020).…”

O presente artigo mobiliza os microdados do Censo do Ensino Superior para comparar as características dos cursos que concentraram o crescimento das matrículas nas instituições lucrativas e sem fins lucrativos entre 2010 e 2016. Analisamos as tendências observadas à luz das principais mudanças regulatórias, das dinâmicas de mercado e das políticas públicas de ampliação do acesso ao ensino superior privado. Os resultados indicam que o balanço entre lógicas organizacionais, regulação do ensino superior e subsídios públicos fomentou padrões de expansão bastante distintos entre as instituições lucrativas e sem fins lucrativos, contrapondo as interpretações que afirmam haver isomorfismo na oferta de cursos de graduação no Brasil. Ademais, as análises evidenciam que a atuação dos conglomerados de ensino pode significar um forte encolhimento das instituições sem fins lucrativos.
