The innovation of the app for administrators – Administrators

That the technology is there to help we all know, but few know how to use. The good relationship with suppliers, customers, and employees contribute to it, because when something new comes they are one of the first to know and if you have a good relationship with sure you will learn fast of the novelties of the market.

Every day comes news in the market, such as in the branch of the restaurants and cafeterias of the applications that have emerged have made it grow and very the sale of goods over the internet, increasing the demand and making the branch to expand considerably. These applications match up to 50 % the billing companies only delivery, and in up to 30 % of the turnover in restaurants that serve on-site. The technology helped a lot of these trades but there are still people who cling to the old and old-fashioned phone and losing spaces with people more open to technology.

Another system that has greatly changed the life of the world was the internet. Just remember as this was 12 years ago when we needed some information, if you want to know of a route had to connect to city hall and wait for hours in line to be serviced, today with 2 minutes we were able to this information. To make a job search we had to stay hours and hours on top of the books to be able to find what we wanted, not to mention for those who are looking for employment, the ease with e-mails, web sites, jobs, site of the companies that hire and in the ease of communicating with people who are in other countries reducing the costs of telephony.

The technology is there, use your favor.

The technology, resources and the future of health in the vision of Siemens … – SAPO Tek

João Seabra is the director-general to the western regions of Europe and Africa Siemens Healthineers. Your position is the management of the business of the company in several countries in these regions (such as Portugal, for example) and a billing of thousands of millions of euros that comes from an area of “extensive growth,” said the Portuguese in an interview with the TeK, this Wednesday, in London.

as almost in all other sectors, the technology is in line with the health to make it more efficient, in this case, in the treatments that are applied to the patients and the procedures that allow the medical teams to achieve results and diagnoses on patients.

With the current context of the population and the growth trends foreseen for the years that followed, João Seabra believes that the inversion of the population pyramid will lead to an increase in cases of chronic diseases, and the overloading of the health system. In this sense, the logic that underpins the innovation in the sector because “the technology is a way of facing these challenges.”

on the other hand, “it is not possible to allocate more financial resources to the provision of health care”. In Portugal, for example, about 11% of GDP is spent on these services. In the United States, the percentage reaches 20%. Says, João Seabra, “technology is a key lever for doing more with the same resources” through a more efficient management that will assist the professionals of the sector to “better manage the data collected from the patients.”

in This sense, and contrary to what happened in the beginning, the “technology is appearing to predict and prevent disease at the same time it helps to manage the health”. “We have to manage health, because the best way to control the cost of the same is not to let people get sick. We must find mechanisms of prevention so that people remain healthy and avoid getting sick.”

For the exercise, João Seabra also highlights the role of equipment that accompany us every day and that “are already supporting in the management of the health of patients and of what can be a healthy lifestyle” through dedicated applications. “Today, the innovation follows through the logic of prevention, and less by the way of the management of the disease”, considered the Portuguese.

But this scan of the sector will not only mean new opportunities for patients. On the other hand, the actual health professionals will have to adapt to a new way of practicing medicine. “You begin to see the sign in medicine a set of terms and technologies that typically were not part of it, but it can bring great value. One begins to see more and more the proliferation of robotic systems that support the surgery, for example, and in the past this was a paradigm that was not even posed. Even in Portugal, there are already several institutions that have introduced, for various specialties, robotic surgery”, therefore, “the doctors are already starting to be much more aware of the issue and how the technology can assist in the provision of health care and in the future will have to be much more open to it.”

The Atellica Siemens Healthineers is an example of this new technological age. For patients, the relevance of this innovation resides in the speed with which the results of their examinations can be revealed, up to 10 times faster than the vast majority of the mechanisms currently used.

For professionals, the efficiency means a greater basis for trust in the decision-making process about a patient. If today a doctor is based on 70% of their decisions in the laboratory work, in the future João Seabra believes that the percentage will certainly be much larger. Not only because of effectiveness, but also on account of the number of analyses that will be possible to perform with resources to these automated methods.

Ghibli updated. Greater refinement and technology – the Observer

The Paris Salon will host the first update of the Ghibli, the model of access to the range of Maserati. More than one restyling, the brand with the Trident has introduced in his saloon a series of improvements that pass by increase in the power output of the engine 3.0-V6, which team is the more accessible of the variants the petrol, by the introduction of new technology and two new packages of equipment intended to increase the degree of customization of the template.

One of these packages goes by the name of Luxury, including the outer rims of 19" and brake pads painted black. In the interior, the main highlight goes to the coatings in 100% silk natural Ermenegildo Zegna, combined with skin top quality and with the lining of the roof in Alcantara. Deserving still reference the seats with climate control, electric 12 way and memory function, sound system, Harman Kardon 900-Watt of power and the pedal unit with electric regulation.

Already the package Sport strengthens, as its own name indicates, the sportsmanship of the Ghibli, including, on the exterior, alloy wheels 20" polished the brake pads red and suspension dampening, adaptive. In the cabin mark the presence of the exclusive sport seats in leather, with integrated headrests and electric regulation 12 way (available in black, brown or red), and the sports steering wheel upholstered in perforated leather, and equipped with tabs on the command box in aluminum.

Only in combination with the Sport package, can still be optionally adopted in the packs Carbon the exterior and interior, designed to enhance the degree of personalization of the model. The first is composed of the handles of the doors, by the boxes of the mirrors, by the covers of the pillars C and the rear spoiler in carbon fiber. The second includes many elements in carbon fiber, as are the applications on the steering wheel, the tabs command from the box or the sills of the doors.

at The same time, all the "new" Ghibli received significant interior improvements. the central section of the dashboard has been redesigned to welcome the high-resolution touch screen and the 8.4" of the new system infoentretenimento MTC Plus, similar to the one released by the Lift, already equipped with the most advanced connectivity solutions to smartphone Apple and Android, and characterized by its revolving double installed between the front seats.

all versions, the Ghibli will offer, also, the cover of the bag with opening and closing windows, and air quality sensor, passing it the list of options the count with a new package of advanced systems for driver assistance. Here if including the cruise control adaptive with the function "stop-start", the monitoring of the dead angle, the alert output involuntary lane, the collision warning front with assistant of braking and the braking control of the emergency. In addition, and also as an option, it is still available with this package ADAS camera panoramic view.

Mechanically, nothing too new there to refer to. The Ghibli continues to be offered with three V6 engines with about 3.0 liters of capacity, a diesel (produced by VM Motori exclusively for Maserati), the other two gasoline (produced by Ferrari in Maranello). The variant diesel offers 275 hp, petrol come with 350 hp or 410 hp and is designed for this last, the Ghibli S, and may be combined with the awd system Q4.

note that the variant of access to the supply of the gasoline has gained 20 hp face of known of the previous generation of the model, which allows the Ghibli 3.0-V6 announce now 267 km/h maximum speed and an acceleration 0-100 km/h accomplished in 5.5 seconds. All engines fulfil already Euro 6 and are associated with an automatic transmission ZF eight relations.

Siemens: one hour just for this new technology to analyze more … – SAPO Tek

The technology has been to extend its influence to the different sectors. In health, for example, though less by the media and the products that have been developed in conjunction with the electronics and the computer have found out, outlook for the future and helped to erect a new segment in the market.

in This niche, which sooner than later will no longer be such, Siemens has played a pivotal role through the development of innovative solutions. The most recent of these was presented this Wednesday in London.

With a name that surfaced among nearly 600 other proposals, Atellica does not look like any of our technologies on a daily basis. It is as portable as a stove and as small as a boat fishing. However, within this “monster”, Siemens has incorporated a system for automated analysis (immunoassays and chemical) mass that promises to increase the productivity in the laboratory in the medical tests, clinical samples.

For this, the German company has integrated a magnetic system of transportation, two-way samples that allows for a speed “10 times higher than the carriers more conventional”, but without a noise from it, and ten times higher for the carriers more conventional. In fact, as was shown in the video, this system is able to operate with a higher pace at the same time it eliminates the noise normally associated with this process.

The Atellica can be loaded with more than 400 test tubes at the same time and to complete the analysis for them all in the space of an hour. During this time, the entire process is monitored by a set of cameras that detects any error in the course of the analysis and transmits it in real time to mobile equipment through a dedicated software. Each sample can be controlled in a particular way and to follow one of the more than 300 configurations of analysis and scheduling of notifications that the system allows. In case of an emergency, the machine allows you to enter the sample in the chain of analysis without interrupting its operation, putting it automatically in the first available position in line.

This is also a modular solution. Although the standard version is composed of three components – sample management, chemical analysis and immunoassay – the logic of coupling allows to build a station with a maximum of 10 modules and a direct link to a supply chain that is automated which allows uploads of samples autonomously. All this is controllable remotely.

The Atellica is a product in development for several years, and as was emphasized during the presentation counted with the contribution of the permanent of the various clients of Siemens who have been involved in all stages of the process.

For the future, more modules are being promised. Before that, the Antellica should be launched on the market during the second half of 2017.

Portrait of Portuguese schools: A will can be a lot, but the … – SAPO Tek

After a significant investment in the first decade of the year 2000, little has changed in terms of technological equipment and infrastructure in Portuguese schools as regards the investment of the Central Government, as admitted the Secretary of State for Education, recently, in statements to the TeK, and as evidenced by now those who live this reality in the classroom.

This happens after the schools of the responsibility of the Ministry of Education have been equipped with computers, projectors and interactive whiteboards, bet on Magalhaes, "a project with possibilities, but that was 'to die'", and the availability of internet access, particularly through the optical fiber, reminiscent of the LINEMAN.

at A time that marks the start of the school year, officially declared this Monday by the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, now in the School EB2/3 Secondary and is supposedly "normal" a computer room with projector, internet access in all rooms, often with a wireless, and is also frequent the existence of computer rooms, depicts the National Federation of Teachers.

But at the level of Pre-School Education and 1st Cycle, the reality is very diverse and depends on a lot of what has been the bet of each one of the municipalities in this area. "There are places in the country where computers and internet are present in all the rooms, and there are others where, when possible, it is the teacher who makes use of his machine, and not a few times of your internet", accuses the SCIENTISTS.

the vision of The ANPRI goes in the same direction. The National Association of Teachers of Informatics considers that, at the level of technological equipment and infrastructure, since 2010, there is significant investment that change the technological scenario of the schools. "What has been happening is that some schools, on their own, apply for several projects, promoted by foundations and other organizations and will able to do projects very interesting for the integration of ICT in the classroom, in an educational context", says Fernanda Ledesma, president of the board.

And leaves an example: integration projects of tablets, the well-known Rooms of the Future, "but are the approaches pin-up, that arise in the schools and then have come to be recognised as good practice by management. The investment is managed by the schools," he stresses.

"The crisis and the autonomy they have in this strand: we are a little dependent on the sensitivity to this area of the persons that integrate the directions of the schools, and this note-if each time more," says the director of the ANPRI. "Some have innovative designs and others are as they were in 2010, increasing the wear of the equipment of these six years."

in This scenario, stresses another aspect: some municipalities that have invested in technological equipment to give better conditions to their schools, namely to create the conditions to implement the project from initiation to programming in the 1st cycle. "In many cases, it would have been impossible to begin this project if it was not for the support of the local authorities.

Fernanda Ledesma acknowledges that, at the level of projects for integration of pedagogical technologies, the Ministry of Education, through the Directorate General of Education, has promoted some interesting programs. The majority were not started with this guardianship, it stresses, but they were "cherished" by the current Government, for your interest.

the example project from initiation to programming in the 1st cycle, which in the previous year involved more than 27,000 students and more than 700 teachers. "It was a success, we will support this project with all our strength. The entries in this school year have doubled, but we have to wait for final numbers".

The responsible also points out as a positive example of the recognition and financing of the club of robotics and programming in place in schools. "A student start the 1st Cycle currently may be surprised with sessions on programming and robotics. The majority likes it and the students 'learn by doing' through the resolution of problems."

in This case it was the missing continuity, because students who have had programming in the 4th year will not be on the 5th year, in most schools "as had been promised". The same happens with the split of classes in the discipline of ICT on the 7th and 8th grade. "The classes in this discipline that is practice are given with the entire class, up to 30 within the room. There are no conditions for students to develop the competencies envisaged, and the teacher is exhausted, to give response to such request."

Teachers with knowledge of q. b., but without resources to work in the classroom

Nowadays, most of the teachers use the technology with ease, up because a good part of the formal processes in schools require: registration, evaluation, e-books, platforms, various, now created by schools, now managed by the ministry of Education, etc, but it lacks the features in the “pedagogical dimension”.

"If all the teachers of this country simply work with the resources that the employer offers, the Schools simply stopped", accuses the SCIENTISTS. "The maintenance of the machines is not always the best, and the system, in good truth, it only works because all teachers use their computer, their software and their internet to work."

A PC with office software and internet access in all classrooms, as well as a projector would be the basic elements that all schools should have to have a teacher. Then it would be important to associate these elements to the continuous training of teachers, "so that they can be part of full of the technological society of the twenty-first century", suggests.

The existing training to work with these resources is, clearly, insufficient. For the National Federation of the Teachers there have been years with a large investment in this area, but much of the logic of tools office. With the arrival of Web 2.0 and later formats, the training has been non-existent and, in this sense, considers it urgent to a formation plan that can resolve this shortcoming.

In the pedagogical dimension fail to understand how the technologies can be useful in this day and age, that so they may enter the classroom and how it can help teachers teach – and, more importantly, students learn.

"And, this diversity is always the result of individual initiative of each teacher – as there is a training plan established for this area, the investment teaching in the technologies is always the genesis of the individual which, without doubt, enhances inequalities".

THE SCIENTISTS argues that the starting point will always have to go through the training and, later, by embedding, in every educational project of the schools, an initiative that will encourage the use of technologies. "It’s not worth to establish as a goal, for example, the use of tablets, even if experimentally, in a particular class or year of schooling, if there are no conditions of commitment and adequate training of teachers".

Despite the technology, the teacher makes a point of writing letters … – Globo.com

Passionate letters, the retired school teacher Teresa Cristina Lins Sarmento, 69-year-old, he makes a point of writing them down even with the advancement of modern means of communication. A resident of Goianápolis, in the Central region of Goiás, it says that no message of the mobile phone compares to the thrill of sending and receiving a match.

"In the letter, we speak with the heart, speaks slowly. It is the emotion of the moment. The person reads and you can save that memory. In the 'zap' [ Whatsapp] things happen, and I like the things that are," says the teacher to the G1.

born in Recife, Teresa Cristina has not forgotten when he wrote the first ticket, 8 years. Since then, she began to compose their own cartinhas and even to other people.

"I Love to write. When I got to the state of Goiás with my husband we went to live in Petrolina de Goiás. This for 39 years. And I helped with the staff that knew how to write to write letters, Christmas cards", you remember.

As Teresa Cristina moved away from the family, the cards were the output for the exchange of stories, photos and gifts since the late 70s. The teacher saves fondly the cards that you received. Including, she is moved to show them and to read to the husband, the fiscal, is a retired agricultural José Ari Gonçalves, 70.

Interference from mobile
Teresa Cristina reveals that with the use of the phone and messaging application of the mobile phone, has been gradually reducing the amount of matches. Currently, they boil down to five per month.

In the letter, we speak with the heart, speaks slowly. It is the thrill of the moment”

The main recipient of the Teresa Cristina are the brothers and nieces who live in São Luiz of Maranhão, cousins that live in the Reef, and friends who live in Rio de Janeiro and Mato Grosso.

"Now has the 'zap', in this mania of 'zap' the people do not write letters any more, but I still command you. A friend of mine from Mato Grosso always sends because she does not have the 'zap'. She sends in two months, more or less," he says.

The time in which the teacher receives most matches is at the time of his birthday, celebrated on Monday, September 26. She fears that, with the lack of a postman fixed in the city, not to receive the time messages.

"I’m worried not to receive my cards for the birthday, but also has the billets that arrive by the Post office. It is unacceptable that a city does not have postmen fixed," said.

Post office
Goianápolis had two postmen until march of this year, one of them resigned in march and the other graduated to run for the post of alderman in August. Thus, according to the locals, the matches were piling up and causing damages to the population.

After a complaint of the residents, was made a task force in mid-September and the distribution was normalized in the city. According to the Post, the work is being held with the presence of at least one postman every day in the city.

The Post office argue that “the city was not underserved”, because the system of reallocation of postmen has been applied. According to the company, the distribution was hampered by the lack of map and numbering irregular of the municipality, which complicates the work of postmen external.

Since the morning of Friday (23), the G1 try to contact by phone and e-mail with the Municipality of Goianápolis, but there was a motion on the numbering of the city until the publication of this report.

In the state of Goiás, 71 cities have only one postman and 35, two professionals, according to a survey by the Post office. The company ensures that they meet the demand of distruibuição location and that, when there is any embezzlement, these municipalities “are not destitute, because “postmen from other cities are relocated, as well as are put in place for special operations”.

Prostheses should be cheaper with 3D technology – the Journal of Commerce

Patricia Knebel

A project based on the use of 3D technologies should cheapen the process of manufacture of prostheses for the upper limbs and, more than that, considerably facilitating the adaptation of patients from a training based on the gameficação.

The new initiative is for researchers from the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory and the Group of Virtual and Augmented Reality of the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU). Engineers, orthopedists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and social agents are involved. The project is in the initial phase, should be completed in four years. Until August 2017, however, should already be possible to have patients using the prosthetic printed in 3D.

The virtual training is one of the most important innovations, points Edgar Lamounier, a researcher and professor at the university. Traditionally, doctors engage the prosthesis real on the arm of the patient, so that he can go on practicing and adapting. It is a challenging situation, as the patient needs to develop a mental ability to master the control of the prosthesis, which can take up to a year.

With the goal of improving this process, is being created a virtual reality environment, that will allow the user to experience the feeling of being using the prosthesis even before it is manufactured. This will be possible with the 3D scan of the remaining part of the arm, which will generate a mesh that will be played in this virtual environment. It will also be designed a 3D mesh of the prosthesis to be used for manufacturing 3D.

all of This will turn into a system only in the virtual world by generating a realistic environment. The gameficação reproduces the day-to-day patient-for example, putting a glass on the table so that he has to move from position A to B and, thus, be able to pass from phase to phase. “We are calling this a serious game, since it does not have as a perspective, the entertainment, and yes the rehabilitation of the patient with the control of the prosthesis,” says Lamounier.

Another innovation is the possibility of customization. As the dimensions vary from one person to another, the 3D printing will allow for a fit as close as possible to the ideal. “Each person is unique, so there will never be a prosthesis that is the same for two individuals with the same level of compatibility,” says the head of the research department of the Faculty of Biomedical of the UFU, Alcimar Barbosa Soares.

This is the first project selected in Brazil to receive technological and financial support of the Foundation Autodesk. The group is using technologies such as 3D modeling (by means of the software Autodesk Fusion 360), virtual reality and 3D printing, and received in this the first resources than US$ 10 thousand, in addition to technical support for the use of the tools.

The prosthetics traditional are made using materials like carbon fiber, and usually have a high cost. A version that offers comfort and mobility to the patient can arrive to cost R$ 300 thousand.

“we Have 500 thousand people in Brazil with some type of amputation and, in addition this value is very far from the reality of the great majority, many do not have conditions of living in large urban centers, where these treatments are offered”, analyzes the researcher Alcimar Barbosa Soares.

The proposal of the work that is being done is to generate a technology strategy and methodology for the generation of the prosthesis and the training that can be implemented in any place. The final cost of the prosthesis for a hand, for example, should be between
$ 800.00 and R$ 5 thousand, depending on the sophistication. The expectation is that any health center of the interior may have the complete solution, which involves the 3D scanning system, a computer of average performance and a 3D printer.

Once the project is ready, the group wants to make it commercial, prospecting companies that may have interest in manufacturing the product. The researchers also intend to submit to the Ministry of Health to create a strategy to bring this technology to all the cities, offering for the Single Health System (SUS).

“The new economic model must be based on research and … – Left

In the debate held this Saturday in the RTP/Azores with Duarte Freitas, of the PSD, the presidential candidate of the Block said that it is necessary to attract more doctors to the region through investment in the careers and a wage policy more attractive.

Referring to the weaknesses of the Regional Health Service (SRS) who has been unable to secure a family doctor to all of the azoreans, Zuraida Soares said that it is “necessary dialogue” that involves the Order of Doctors, the regional government, the nurses and the unions of the industry to understand where it is that “we are to err in placing doctors in our region”.

"It’s just a matter of monetary, career, training available in the different specialities for physicians", he asked the coordinator of the Block Azores, to then refer that you do not have doubts that we are the "err on any side" up because the support economic are not so "scarce, as small as this."

"If we do the accounts to the costs that this lack of doctors has for the Regional Health Service (SRS), we realize that it is essential to invest in careers, training and providing logistical to promote the establishment of doctors," he said.

Zuraida Soares he also referred to the fact that the hospital is the most expensive area to the SRS but it’s for the hospitals that “all our patients are pushed because the health centres are not open at 7 o’clock to meet an emergency situation”.

Faced with this situation, the candidate bloquista said to be necessary to pay attention to the costs related with the overload of hospitals, on the extra hours that are the result of the lack of doctors, the wear of the staff, to fatigue, to saturation and to the medical error because people are human.

“All of this has costs that join the low salaries making it difficult, in this way, the possibility of having more doctors in the Azores", he underlined, having added that " it is necessary to have a wage policy that leads to the doctors that form to come to the region instead of leaving for a foreign country where right at the beginning of their activity, they gain much more”.

A new economic paradigm

with regard to the economic development of the Azores, Zuraida Soares began by stating that in the Block program there is the intention to implement a “new paradigm” for the region’s economy by putting, in this way, an end to the old model ‘based on products with low added value, low diversification, the insistence on monoculture and low wages”.

"This is the model that we have," said the candidate to then claim that it is necessary to walk to have an economy “based on knowledge, research and technology all here due to increase the ability to generate wealth.”

"we Have to attract companies that bring products with added value and that they can take advantage of the knowledge of the International Centre of the Sciences of the Sea," he said.

The candidate bloquista stressed the need for these companies to come to the Azores to drink the “our knowledge and pay it”, referring to the fact that it is also important the establishment of partnerships that could create jobs.

"we Talk about qualified work and not jobs, poorly paid, based on a monoculture with little value," he said, and added that "it is important to capitalise on the port of Praia da Vitória and the Base of the Slabs to deploy a logistics platform of support to the civil aviation and maritime transport”.

"The knowledge that is here produced is our and so are we that we should share with the world and we should not accept the coming of a branch whose sole purpose is to exploit our riches,” he said.

Following this reasoning, Zuraida Soares also stated that “it is time, for the first time, look for this region and for its riches endogenous and do something with them, for us and for us".

Science and Technology week starts October 20 in … – Globo.com

The 5th National Week of Science and Technology will happen on 19 and 20 October in Campos dos Goytacazes, in the North Fluminense. The event will take place in the Garden saint Benedict, from 9h to 17h, within the programming of the activities of the 13th edition of the National Week of Science and Technology (SNCT), with the theme ‘ Science Feeding the Brazil". The visitation of the schools may already be scheduled.

The biggest event of popularization of science and technology in the city and in the region, is mobilizing around 50 institutions for the fair. According to the coordinator of the Sciences Fundamental II, Carla Sales, the great aim of an exhibition of this scale is to show how science is part of the daily lives of people. The event is organized by the Municipal Secretariat of Education, Culture and Sports (Smece).

"The cheapest mobilize the students and the community is to spread science and technology as a part of the lives of people, undoing the idea of something that is inaccessible, restricted to the research lab," he says.

in Addition to the exposure of the experiments in the municipal schools, state and private, and research universities, and other entities, the National Week will have in your programming the 4th Tuesday Municipal Science, Technology and Innovation (Femucti). In it, they may be selected up to four works for participation in the 10th trade Fair of Science, Technology and Innovation of the State of Rio de janeiro (Fecti), what happens on the River.

will Also be held the 12th exhibition of Art in the Elementary School II, Smece, with the theme ‘ Science Feeding the Brasil and the Samba Feeding the Soul", in commemoration of the centenary of Samba in the year of 2016.

Of the works selected in the Femucti 2015, for the 9th Fecti, in the River, the project of the Escola Municipal Eloy Ornelas, of Vila Nova, was ranked in 1st place in the category of the Elementary School – 8th and 9th – years, which brought together 60 projects. The students presented the "Model of a house, ecologically correct", selected initially, with a further five projects Fields. The classification gives the right to the group expose in the Brazilian Fair of Science and Engineering (Febrace), which will display the jobs sorted around the country.

Schedule
The National Week of Camps will be open to the general community, with free admission. According to Carla, the schools interested in bringing students and teachers can already do the scheduling by phone (22) 99982-7513 and (22) 99902-7477.

Technology reduces the effect of the strike in the banks, says Febraban – the Journal of Commerce

The strike of the bank is heading to be one of the most extensive in the history of the financial system. The banks are the hardest in trading, predicting that profits tend to shrink for the first time in decades, a reflection of the crisis that raised the money and required increases in provisions for doubtful accounts. The impact of the outage on the results, however, is lower and lower each time, because of the digitalisation of transactions, via computers and mobile phones.

The Brazilian Federation of Banks (Febraban) pointed out that the use of alternative channels to bank branches to make transactions, especially electronic media, have been effective to minimize the effects of the strike. Together, the so-called internet banking, by the computer, and mobile banking, via mobile phones and tablets, account for more than half of banking transactions (54%).

“The internet banking was the channel responsible for the largest number of transactions in 2015, with 33% of the total, the equivalent of 17.7 billion of banking operations. Accounts with internet banking, jumped to 56 million in 2014, to 62 million in the last year”, says Febraban.

The executive of a large bank, who does not want to be identify, confirms that the technology relieves increasingly the impact of the strike. “This strike has generated less impact because of the use of digital channels, which is very strong. Deposit into a check basically just. Today everyone has a smartphone and the use of digital channels has grown geometrically in all the banks.”

In the past year, the banking transactions by mobile banking grew by 138% compared to 2014, totaling 11.2 billion of transactions, according to Febraban. Could, therefore, be the second channel most used, behind only the internet banking. In some institutions, according to sources, the mobile has already risen to leadership in the media used for banking transactions.

After five rounds of negotiations and no consensus between banking and bankers, the hang completed 18 days on this Friday (23). On the next Monday (26), it will have the same duration of the mobilisation in the past year, 21 days. You can become the longest of recent years, surpassing that of 2013, when the workers crossed their arms for 24 days, the second counted the trade Union of the Bank of São Paulo, Osasco and region, connected to the Central única dos trabalhadores (CUT).

The union estimates the participation of 60 thousand workers. In total, 16 administrative centers and 780 branches were closed yesterday. Despite the eventual record, the banks, according to sources, tend not to offer an adjustment greater than that granted in 2015. Last year, the category claimed 16%, but the adjustment was 10%, with correction of 14% on food stamps, and food.

This year, the difference is even greater. Banks offer 7% (which leads to a 2.39% loss in salary) and an allowance of R$ 3.3 billion. The bank ask for the double, an increase of 14,78% (real gain of 5%, considering the inflation). The counter proposal, however, was rejected, and in the last two meetings, on 13 and 15 September, there were no changes.

“Clearly, the banks are more hard this year, and the difference between the requests is high. The union will have to give in, but the category will test to the max,” says an analyst who tracks the banking industry.

on the side Of the seats, there is the expectation that the collective agreement raises the costs. In evaluating an executive, even if the increase is above the budgeted by the institutions, it will be possible to compensate with cost-cutting that includes cutting staff. The banks have been strict control of expenses. Bradesco bank revised down its projection of operating expenses – from 4.5% to 8.5%, and rose to the range of 4% to 8%. Itaú Unibanco also redid his calculations. The expenses arising from the interest of the institution should grow 2.0% to 5.0% in 2016.
