Caracterização térmica (TG/DTG, DTA, DSC, DSC-fotovisual) de Hormônios bioidênticos (estriol estradiol)

Bioidentical hormones are defined as compounds that have exactly the same chemical and molecular structure as hormones that are produced in the human body. It is believed that the use of hormones may be safer and more effective than the non-bioidentical hormones, because binding to receptors in the organism would be similar to the endogenous hormone. Bioidentical estrogens have been used in menopausal women, as an alternative to traditional hormone replacement therapy. Thermal data of these hormones are scarce in literature. Thermal analysis comprises a group of techniques that allows evaluating the physical-chemistry properties of a drug, while the drug is subjected to a controlled temperature programming. The thermal techniques are used in pharmaceutical studies for characterization of drugs, purity determination, polymorphism identification, compatibility and evaluation of stability. This study aims to characterize the bioidentical hormones estradiol and estriol through thermal techniques TG/DTG, DTA, DSC, DSC-photovisual. By the TG curves analysis was possible to calculated kinetic parameters for the samples. The kinetic data showed that there is good correlation in the different models used. For both estradiol and estriol, was found zero order reaction, which enabled the construction of the vapor pressure curves. Data from DTA and DSC curves of melting point and purity are the same of literature, showed relation with DSC-photovisual results. The analysis DTA curves showed the fusion event had the best linearity for both hormones. In the evaluation of possible degradation products, the analysis of the infrared shows no degradation products in the solid state

Antigos sujeitos, novos direitos: as relações homoafetivas estáveis e o direito de reconhecimento

Esta dissertação é um estudo sobre as representações e práticas sociais relativas à construção da conjugalidade homoafetiva e o direito de reconhecimento. Nesse contexto, são analisados os embates ideológicos decorrentes das tentativas de redefinição das representações e práticas sociais relativas à família e a conjugalidade, em sua feição heterocêntrica, a partir das disputas em torno do reconhecimento social e jurídico das uniões homoafetivas, desencadeadas no contexto da sociedade brasileira, a partir da apresentação, no Congresso Nacional, do Projeto de Lei n° 1.151/95, da Deputada Marta Suplicy, que disciplina a união civil entre pessoas do mesmo sexo

Dispersões sólidas de sinvastatina: preparação, caracterização, no estado sólido utilizando técnicas emergentes e estudo de estabilidade

This thesis aimed to assess the increase in solubility of simvastatin (SINV) with solid dispersions using techniques such as kneading (MA), co-solvent evaporation (ES), melting carrier (FC) and spray dryer (SD). Soluplus (SOL), PEG 6000 (PEG), PVP K-30 (PVP) e sodium lauryl sulphate (LSS) were used as carriers. The solid dispersions containing PEG [PEG-2(SD)], Soluplus [SOL-2(MA)] and sodium lauryl sulphate [LSS-2(ES)] were presented with a greater increase in solubility (5.02, 5.60 and 5.43 times respectively); analyses by ANOVA between the three groups did not present significant difference (p<0.05). In the phase solubility study, the calculation of the Gibbs free energy (ΔG) revealed that the spontaneity of solubilisation of SINV occurred in the order SOL>PEG >PVP 75%>LSS, always 80%. The phase diagrams of PEG and LSS presented solubilization stoichiometry of type 1:1 (type AL). The diagrams with PVP and SOL tend to 1:2 stoichiometry (type AL + AP). The stability coefficients (Ks) of the phase diagrams revealed that the most stable reactions occurred with LSS and PVP. The solid dispersions were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), particle size distribution (PSD), near-infrared spectroscopy imaging (NIR-CI) and X-ray diffraction of the powder using the Topas software (PDRX-TOPAS). The solid dispersion PEG-2(SD) presented the greatest homogeneity and the lowest degree of crystallinity (18.2%). The accelerated stability study revealed that the solid dispersions are less stable than SINV, with PEG-2(SD) being the least stable, confirmed by FTIR and DSC. The analyses by PDRX-TOPAS revealed the amorphous character of the dispersions and the mechanism of increasing solubility

Processo identitário e saberes docentes: um estudo a partir da prática de ensino no estágio do curso de pedagogia da UFRN

Esta investigación parte del interés en la comprensión de la cuestión de los conocimientos enseñanza, precisamente el conocimiento necesario para el profesor profesional relacionada enseñanza, es decir, cuáles son los conocimientos, los profesores a construir en su contexto de trabajo. Somos conscientes de que el escenario es un momento de importancia fundamental para el desarrollo del conocimiento inicial de la profesión docente y la construcción de la identidad profesional. Tratando de entender estos aspectos nos preguntamos: ¿Qué conocimientos de los futuros profesores construyen o se movilizan durante la práctica docente desarrollado en el escenario? Nuestro objetivo es entender el proceso de identidad de estudiantes Pedagogía UFRN e identificar el conocimiento construido sobre la práctica docente desarrollada durante el entrenamiento supervisado de dicho curso. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa, y tenía como instrumento de recolección de datos, entrevistas semi-estructuradas con diez (10) en 2014.1 académicos que habían ocupado la práctica docente en el entrenamiento supervisado. Las entrevistas fueron sometidas a análisis de contenido propuesto por Bardin (2011). Como marco teórico, los autores también apoyan en tan Tardif (2012), Pimenta (2012), Nóvoa (1995), Perrenoud (2002), entre otros, se trata de la enseñanza de conocimientos dentro de la profesionalización docente, estableciendo relación con el proceso de identidad. Los resultados indican que, en lo que respecta a la identidad profesional, estudios teóricos en el curso de formación inicial, junto con las experiencias vividas en su mayoría en el escenario, contribuyeron a cambiar lo que los estudiantes sabían acerca de ser un maestro. Por lo tanto, algunos han fortalecido la identidad con la profesión, mientras que otros han renunciado a invertir en la carrera docente. En cuanto a conocimiento construido, se puede decir que los alumnos se dan cuenta de la pluralidad de conocimientos necesarios para una profesión tan compleja como la enseñanza. Sin embargo, a modo de síntesis, este conocimiento a su vez a aprender a planificar lecciones considerando las necesidades de los estudiantes y su contexto social. Los participantes declaran saber cómo llevar a cabo la mediación del aprendizaje a través del diálogo y actividades bien estructuradas y afecto contribuye al aprendizaje. En este sentido, se entiende que las construcciones de conocimiento en el escenario se articularon a reflexionar sobre su propia práctica e indican lo que era más importante en términos de aprendizaje de la percepción de los estudiantes. Sobre la base de este entendimiento, creemos que los momentos de observación (primero paso en el escenario) y el muy regencia podrían considerarse en el proceso de formación, para que los estudiantes se registre el aprendizaje proporcionado por la práctica. Es necesario, por tanto, que los estudiantes investiguen su propia actividad pedagógica, convirtiendo sus conocimientos en una continua construcción y reconstrucción de sus identidades a partir de la importancia social que conceden a la enseñanza.

Obtenção e caracterização de sistemas particulados de quitosana para liberação gástrica de amoxicilina

The infection caused by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is associated with gastroduodenal inflammation can lead to the development of gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulcer and gastric cancer (type 1 carcinogen for stomach cancer). Amoxicillin is used as first-line therapy in the treatment of H. pylori associated to metronidazole or clarithromycin, and a proton pump inhibitor. However, the scheme is not fully effective due to inadequate accumulation of antibiotics in gastric tissue, inadequate efficacy of ecological niche of H. pylori, and other factors. In this context, this study aimed to obtaining and characterization of particulate systems gastrorretentivos chitosan - amoxicillin aiming its use for treatment of H. pylori infections. The particles were obtained by the coacervation method / precipitation using sodium sulfate as precipitating agent and crosslinking and two techniques: addition of amoxicillin during preparation in a single step and the sorption particles prior to amoxycillin prepared by coacervation / precipitation and spray drying. The physicochemical characterization of the particles was performed by SEM, FTIR, DSC, TG and XRD. The in vitro release profile of amoxycillin free and incorporated in the particles was obtained in 0.1 N HCl (pH = 1.2). The particles have higher encapsulation efficiency to 80% spherical shape with interconnected particles or adhered to each other, the nanometric diameter to the systems obtained by coacervation / precipitation and fine for the particles obtained by spray drying. The characterization by FTIR, DSC and XRD showed that the drug was incorporated into the nanoparticles dispersed in the polymeric matrix. Thermal analysis (TG and DSC) indicated that encapsulation provides greater heat stability to the drug. Amoxicillin encapsulated in nanoparticles had slower release compared to free drug. The particles showed release profile with a faster initial stage (burst effect) reaching a maximum at 30 minutes 35% of amoxicillin for the system in 1: 1 ratio relative to the polymer and 80% for the system in the ratio 2: 1. Although simple and provide high encapsulation efficiency of amoxicillin, the process of coacervation, precipitation in one step using sodium sulfate as precipitant / cross-linker must be optimized in order to adjust the release kinetics according to the intended application.

Movimento de educação e cultura popular no Brasil dos anos 1960: resistência desfeita

In this work we defend the thesis that the movements of culture and popular education in the 1960s in Brazil, manifested itself into resistance to hegemonic thought, coming from the North, which reduced the popular individuals and their knowledge to the ignorant condition. The focus of our study lies on the resistance produced by these movements in the history of the Country. We used as theoretical reflective foundation the thinking of Boaventura de Sousa Santos and his thesis about the construction of rationalities focused in the fight against indolent reason and the deconstruction of the inferiority in the colonized plan. But the analysis also favors approaches of other authors in the proportion that deals with the action of social actors of culture and popular education movements that have marked their presence in the public space, whose views and interests were invented and reinvented constantly in the relacional game. From the point of empirical view, the research makes use of bibliographies and written documentary sources such as newspaper articles, speeches, statements, manifests and documents like these. The research intends to seek in the past the understanding of those Movements in an effort to enable the viewing of certain remnants of the past that have relevance as social and academic wealth of experience. From the popular and the local, movements of culture and popular education in the 1960s, they overcame the barriers of invisibility and raised Itself to the plan of the global history, when they began to become protagonists of their own history, until their dreams were buried by the 1964 tragedy.
