Since discovery, computed tomography is a widely used diagnostic modality. However, this modality imparts relatively high doses to the patients and with fast technological advancement, it is necessary optimize the doses used and ensure the quality of the images through a quality assurance program. This work intended to compare Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDIW) and effective dose with components of image quality: the Contrast-to-Noise Ratio (CNR) and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), and a quality factor (Q) deduced by the Rose model for two groups of computed tomography units. The first group was composed by equipments with 10 up to 16 slices and the second one presented 40 up to 320 slices detectors, for the protocols of head and abdomen. It was realized a comparison between different selectable parameters in the protocol of a Philips Brilliance 16, too. The results of the first group to CTDIW, effective dose, SNR and CNR showed variations of 28%, 33%, 37% and 32% respectively for head protocol, and 21%, 27%, 43% and 37% respectively for abdomen protocol. The results of the group 2 to CTDIW, effective dose, SNR and CNR showed variations of 15%, 26%, 36% and 34% respectively for the head protocol, and 8%, 13%, 50% and 60% respectively for abdomen protocol. The comparison between both groups demonstrated similar levels of doses impartation to patients though having so many different configurations, if the uncertainties associated with this measurement were considered. The results of the comparison between different parameters in the Philips Brilliance 16 scanner were in agreement with expected

The signal-to-noise ratio and image uniformity analysis parameters are very important in quality control of an MRI scanner. They are measured in regular tests with phantoms. In these tests, however, used to quadrature coil, which has been most widely used clinically, and, therefore, was replaced in the procedures for body coil. In order to understand the difference between these two parameters in these coils, the study aimed to analyze the images acquired from four different phantoms in the same equipment under the same conditions for comparison purposes. With these results, it can be concluded that the body coil signal-to-noise ratio has always smaller than the quadrature in any projection, whereas the image uniformity is larger

Introdução: As Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis (DANTS) são um grupo de enfermidades cujo processo de instalação no organismo geralmente se inicia com alterações, a prevenção dessas afecções tem sido um grande desafio para a saúde pública. As principais DANTS são: câncer, doenças do coração (angina e infarto do miocárdio), doenças do pulmão (como enfisema, bronquite e asma), doenças da circulação como acidente vascular cerebral e hipertensão arterial, doenças metabólicas como diabetes, hipercolesterolemia, a obesidade, relacionadas com condições de vida (como o estresse, depressão e ansiedade). Existem inúmeros Fatores de Risco (FR) relacionados a estes tipos de doenças, cuja remoção, ou atenuação, pode contribuir para o declínio da mortalidade.Objetivo: Associar comportamentos e conhecimentos de FR para doenças e agravos não transmissíveis de mulheres praticantes de AF através do projeto Saúde Ativa Rio Claro, este visa desenvolver e difundir práticas de intervenção cientificamente orientadas que incorporem a AF como parte integrante de um hábito de vida saudável para todas as pessoas. Metodologia: Participaram do estudo 100 mulheres, com idade média de 57,7((± 13,1), foram aplicados dois questionários, sendo o primeiro sobre conhecimento de FR para DANTS e o segundo avaliou comportamentos relacionados ao estilo de vida: nível de AF, consumo de álcool, dieta, taxa de colesterol, nível de estresse, tabagismo.Resultados e Discussão: Não houve associação entre conhecimento e comportamento, o conhecimento isoladamente não foi suficiente para promover modificações no comportamento das pessoas. A analise estatística utilizada foi o Qui Quadrado (x²) de 1 grau de liberdade e com nível de significância de p= 0,05. Conclusão: Um grupo de pessoas pode conhecer os benefícios de um comportamento e não ter tempo ou recursos suficientes...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

O sedentarismo é um problema que afeta milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo, e para vários autores a redução ou até mesmo a extinção deste comportamento inativo deve ser encarada como prioridade para elevar a qualidade de vida da população. Para isso, se faz necessário, definir o problema, identificando a prevalência deste estilo de vida, a população-alvo e as barreiras enfrentadas para que a mudança ocorra. Só assim, é possível implantar alternativas baseadas nas evidências concretas, englobando diferentes fatores e intervindo nos quatro domínios que contemplam a prática de atividade física. Desta forma, o objetivo do estudo foi analisar o nível de atividade física habitual dos funcionários administrativos (exceto docentes e trabalhadores de manutenção) da Unesp – Rio Claro, através do questionário Baecke adaptado por Florindo e colaboradores. . Além disso, medidas antropométricas foram coletadas para fornecimento de dados sobre a composição corporal dos mesmos. A partir das respostas dos questionários observou-se que a maioria dos funcionários é moderadamente ativa (58%), quando se trata do nível de atividade física total. O nível de atividade física de lazer é o maior responsável por aumentar o nível de atividade física habitual, no entanto menos de 10% dos sujeitos, cerca de 7 funcionários, foram considerados muito ativos neste domínio. Quanto à composição corporal, grande parte dos sujeitos apresenta-se com sobrepeso, estando com a média do IMC acima da população de Rio Claro. No nível de atividade de física de locomoção, mais de 60% ou aproximadamente 56 sujeitos foram identificados como insuficientemente ativos. Com relação ao gênero, as mulheres são mais inativas no deslocamento em relação aos homens. Tendo em vista a problemática que comportamentos de risco afetam...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Considering the growing degradation of the urban environmental quality resulting from the progressive sound pollution increase, as well as the consequent harmful effects about the human health, the present study had its central objective the argument and management tools implementation of the urban noise that can be integrated to the environmental planning in the city of Rio Claro (SP). Therefore, normative and bibliographical revisions were developed, that made feasible the directives of control argument and prevention of the urban noise, as well as the technical procedures of sound levels and evaluation’s definition and especially about the criteria applicable for the elaboration of an urban acoustic zoning methodology. Among the main results obtained detach: (1) the applicable legislation to the management of urban noise’s synthesis and argument; (2) the methodology of urban acoustic zoning development and (3) its implementation to determined areas of Rio Claro (SP) with the (4) respective cartography representation; (5) the mapping of sound levels in the central zone of Rio Claro (SP), (6) the obtaining and analysis of noise describers (LAeq, Lmáx, L10, L50, L90, Lmin and TNI) and the subsequent (7) acoustic maps elaboration for the main describers.

The experimentation in the teaching of physics has been extensively studied over the years because of its potential as a tool demonstration of physics phenomena studied in classroom. In such a perspective view of the action of apprentice student involving teaching future teachers of physics, under the Program PIBID CAPES, developed since 2009, seeks ways to improve the teaching of physics experiments using the theme chosen for the electrostatic work was . In this particular work, we report the development of the project in a State School located in the city of Rio Claro, in two rooms in the 9th grade in elementary school. It is planned with the activities of teaching physics at this level of education, look at how two different ways of displaying the contents of electrostatics in a playful way for elementary students and implement a library of experiments so that students can take the experiments to their homes

This study presents the results of a study on the development of the concept of force and their possible applications in physics teaching. The historical study has focused on Aristotelian natural philosophy, medieval theories of strength in impressed and on classical Newtonian mechanics. The Newtonian concept of force was also an object lesson of physics analyzed in this study. In this lesson, conducted in a preuniversity course, spontaneous conceptions or alternative conceptions of students about the concept of force proved very entrenched, resulting in studies on the Model Change on Conceptual and epistemological obstacles in view Bachelardian. The theoretical frameworks adopted led us to trace parallels between spontaneous conceptions revealed by the students and some views about the concept of force found in the study of history. The results show that while some old conceptions have been replaced by scientifically Newtonian concept of force, they are still present in the students' ideas and resist to changes even after the study of Newton's laws. Like main result shows that the history of science can be a great ally for the deconstruction of alternative conceptions, particularly when these concepts were previously presented and overcome the course of history of the development of a concept

Increasingly competitive markets have driven the search for companies in many different ways to win and keep customers. The service level is basically the performance of companies in fulfilling the orders made, or how companies demonstrate to their clients efforts in their behalf. This work aims to solve the difficulties faced by a multinational company present in Brazil, in the distribution of its products in the category Ice Cream in order to improve the service level of their customers. Review the logistics network and concepts related to the distribution system of products is one of several ways to achieve this goal, as well as the use of IT and tools to assist in planning and programming of the physical distribution of products. In this study we used the concept of direct distribution system called Transit Point (TP). The TP provides at the same time, a strategy of rapid response, flexibility, low transportation costs and no inventory. A router - software capable of simulating the actual conditions experienced in the daily distribution - was used to assist in calculations. Results showed reductions of up to 47.5% in transportation costs and better conditions were provided in the distribution of products, positively impacting on service levels and in the maintenance of products quality, with a reduction of 1.6% of the total costs involve
