Contribuições da motivação na prática de atividade física regular

A atividade física vem sendo praticada pelo ser humano desde tempos primitivos, evoluindo até os dias atuais, que de maneira sistematizada pode ser interpretada com exercício físico. Muitos são os benefícios dessa prática, principalmente para a obtenção de resultado e qualidade de vida, segundo também de acordo com os objetivos individuais de cada um. Entretanto esses benefícios são claros para indivíduos que querem obter um condicionamento físico e para pessoas com algum grau de obesidade, contudo os fatores psicológicos se mostram presente, para que assim permaneçam na prática a ponto de perceberem os resultados e alcancem seus objetivos. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as contribuições da motivação na prática de atividade física regular. Para a realização do mesmo foram utilizados com quatro homens e oito mulheres com faixa etária entre 20 e 30 anos, que realizam algum tipo de exercício físico a mais que 6 meses. O procedimento baseouse em uma entrevista semi-estrutura onde cada entrevistado tinha um encontro particular. As falas foram registradas e posteriormente analisadas com minúcia. Os dados obtidos pela entrevista foram cruzados com a literatura a fim de encontrar onde a motivação teria a sua influência. Conclui-se que a motivação tem papel importante para a aderência dos indivíduos e manutenção da mesma por períodos longo de tempo, favorecendo a efetividade na obtenção de resultados

Transplante de medula óssea para suporte de células tronco hematopoiéticas em cães acometidos por linfoma

Lymphoma represents the most prevalent hematopoietic malignancy in small animal medicine. It is highly responsible to chemotherapy and therefore several protocols are used as therapeutic tools. For that reason, the bone marrow transplantation, enshrined in human medicine through initial trial in canine patients, has increasingly become the focus of studies in order to make it a reality also in veterinary medicine. First, the treatment with the chosen chemotherapy protocol is made. As complete remission of lymphoma is observed, it must be initiated the bone marrow harvesting. The obtained material is subjected to the processes of erythrocyte depletion, plasma depletion, cryoprotectants addition, total nuclear cells counting, hematopoietic progenitor quantification, analysis of cell viability and freezing. Following that, with radiotherapy or application of cyclophosphamide, the conditioning phase of the patient who is receiving the transplantation is carried out. The bags containing hematopoietic stem cells are then thawed and transplanted into the receptor organism. Support with hematopoietic stem cells allows the use of lethal doses of chemotherapy or radiotherapy and has been shown to considerably raise the disease remission time and survival rate of the canine patients

Modelagem e simulação numérica de um sistema de refrigeração por absorção utilizando o par H2O-LiBr

The term refrigeration solar refers to any air conditioning system that uses solar energy as a primary energy source. The use of solar radiation for cooling purposes is divided according to their technological possibilities which are distinguished from one another as the way that energy is involved in the cycle, work or heat. The first case is related to vapor compression cycles, in which the work input is provided by the photovoltaic conversion of solar energy into electrical energy. In the second case, an absorption refrigeration cycle is used and the thermal energy collected from the solar radiation is provided at the generator of this cycle.. In this work a system with an absorption cycle using the pair BrLi-water, using solar energy as input is modeled. It is considered a simple refrigeration cycle whose the equations of mass and energy conservation in each component are developed in order to obtain an algebraic equation set and a simulation routine using the EES software. Although the simulation operates under certain specified thermal load it is possible to estimate the necessary areas of heat exchangers and solar collectors

Efeitos da privação materna por 24h na memória emocional de ratos adultos

Entre as diversas estratégias de investigação dos efeitos de experiências estressantes no início da vida de um rato, pode-se citar a privação do filhote da mãe por 24h, durante o período neonatal. A privação materna (PM) por 24h entre os dias pós-natais (DPN) 3 e 4 resulta em um hiperresponsividade ao estresse na adolescência (20-30 dias de vida), enquanto que essa mesma manipulação entre os DPN 11 e 12 resulta em hiporresponsividade, avaliado na mesma idade. Traumas na infância e/ou adolescência constituem fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de transtorno de estresse póstraumático (TEPT), uma desordem psiquiátrica caracterizada por rememoração persistente do evento traumático, com dificuldade de extinção dessa memória. Sendo assim, o presente projeto avaliou como um estresse nos primeiros dias de vida (privação materna) e um trauma na adolescência (choque intenso inescapável) interagem de forma a promover maior vulnerabilidade para o desenvolvimento de comportamento tipo-TEPT em ratos. As manipulações na infância, ao contrário do esperado, não interagiram com o trauma na infância, e não alteraram a resposta ao condicionamento e à extinção da resposta de medo, avaliadas pelo comportamento de congelamento. Em relação à resposta de ACTH após o estresse na adolescência, os animais submetidos à privação materna não apresentaram pico de secreção deste hormônio, como ocorreu no grupo controle, sugerindo uma alteração da resposta hormonal causada pela experiência adversa na infância. Sendo assim, a privação materna não influenciou as alterações comportamentais nos animais adultos provocadas pelo trauma na adolescência, mas pode ter alterado a resposta de ACTH ao trauma, na adolescência

Avaliação do potencial de microgeração em despacho econômico para atendimento aos requisitos de etiquetagem de edifícios

The discussions about the energy rationalization are gaining more and more space on the everyday of engineers and other professionals in the field of energy. A greater focus is being tied to commercial buildings, because they are one of the biggest responsible for the high energetic expenditure according to the National Energetic Balance, especially by the use of air conditioners for the people’s thermal comfort. Such finding made INMETRO to develop a building labeling procedure through th National Program of Electric Energy Conservation in Buildings; by means of this systematic, the built areas are classified by levels that go from A(the best) to E(the worst), taking into account envelopment, illumination system and air conditioning. A bonus process based on water rationalization, use of renewable energy sources, cogeneration systems or technical innovations, allows the classification to be changed up to one level. A study made exactly on a commercial building, the building of Foundation for Technological and Scientific Development located inside of the College of Engineering of Guaratinguetá, sought to identify technical/economic alternatives for the building certification and appealed to the bonus based on water rationalization. The present study is based on analysis of deploying a cogeneration system formed by internal combustion engine and an absorption refrigeration system as bonus alternative, so that the costs are analyzed regarding energy consumption and use of the motor. With the calculations and results, the viability of the building to receive a bonus from INMETRO through its National Program for Energy Conservation in Buildings is studied and concluded from this study whether or not you can get a better level of energy efficiency for the building in question...

Analise técnico-econômica de um gaseificador Downdraft e de filtros para limpeza de gás de síntese

The biomass gasification systems have been used for a long time and prove to be a good alternative to the generation of energy problems. This type of management requires a simple installation and maintenance which gives them a high availability. In Biomass project via Call CTEnerg 33/2006-1, funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology - MCT - Brazil, the Group Energy Systems Optimization – GOSE - at FEG - UNESP built and tested two prototypes of gasifiers. These is fed with 25 kg / h of dry wood (chips), and 50 Nm3 / h of air to produce gas at a flow rate of approximately 70 Nm3 / h of wood (syngas) at a temperature approximately 600 ° C. In this work of graduation, studies were conducted on the materials used in both the gasifier as well as cleaning the filter synthesis gases. The system of gas cleaning and conditioning is vital to ensure the life of the Internal Combustion Engine. In this case the studies of different filters for small gasification systems (properties, materials used, characteristics, types, etc.) are very relevant to its use in the prototype of the college campus. Were also performed a technical and economic analysis of a cogeneration system that consists in the combination of the downdraft gasifier studied in this work, an internal combustion engine, two heat exchangers and a SRA (absorption system refrigerator). Were calculated the costs of electricity generation, hot water and cold water. Finally, we analyzed the economic feasibility of the project

Efeitos de benzodiazepinas sobre o fenômeno da aversão condicionada por lugar induzida por estímulo nociceptivo em camundongos

Medo e ansiedade são emoções que se originam nas reações de defesa de caráter adaptativo que animais exibem perante ameaças que podem comprometer sua integridade física ou sua própria sobrevivência. Tais situações resultam em um repertório de comportamentos defensivos espécie-específicos, alterações autonômicas e inibição da dor. A dor é descrita por uma variedade de sensações e experiências emocionais associadas e constituída de dois principais componentes: o perceptivo-discriminativo, que permite ao indivíduo reconhecer o estímulo como doloroso e localizá-lo numa região do corpo, e o aversivo-cognitivo-motivacional, que compreende uma série de respostas defensivas, objetivando a autopreservação imediata. O modelo de condicionamento por lugar, para medir efeitos não discriminativos da estimulação nociceptiva, vem sendo utilizado em abordagens recentes para o estudo do componente emocional relacionado à dor. Existem paradigmas baseados na aprendizagem associativa entre o estado afetivo e de dicas ambientais que precedem a aplicação de um estímulo, o qual pode ter propriedade aversiva ou prazerosa, dependendo da resposta que se quer estudar. O presente estudo investigou a ação do fármaco triazolobenzodiazepínico, Alprazolam, sobre o fenômeno da ACL em camundongos, que foram separados em grupos experimentais. No primeiro dia, parte dos animais sofreu estimulação nociceptiva, através da injeção de formalina a 2,5% na pata traseira direita, e foi confinado nos ambientes diferenciados de uma Plataforma Elevada fechada (um lado com grade no assoalho e outro sem grade). No segundo dia, parte dos animais 7 (de acordo com o grupo de estudo) recebeu tratamento farmacológico (Alprazolam ou salina) 30 minutos antes de ser reexposto à plataforma, registrando-se o tempo gasto nos dois ambientes da plataforma elevada fechada...

Análise do programa Supernanny e a repercussão nas famílias

In the modern world it is common to witness the family or the school complaining about the behavior of children. Parents have lost control of how to educate their children, who have difficulty in following rules, boundaries and discipline. In the short time they stay with their children, their parents feel desperate in how to educate and seek the help of experts who apply techniques inspired by behavioral therapy. A recent phenomenon is the search of the family by the media, so that helps to set limits for their children. The main objective of this study is to identify intervention techniques used in television show called Supernanny, verifying the concept of education and its effects on family. The methodology is exploratory research, using technical analysis as a specific program for television, videorecorded. Data analysis was performed by a video recording of the three programs shown, which were compared using frames. Contact that currently, the parent-child relationship is permeated by a lack of boundaries, which causes families to seek guidance from experts and the media - which is one of the most powerful means of dissemination and communication. The program presents Supernanny behavioral techniques that seem to work with a simple sleight of hand, but in real life translates into a long-time adjustments, challenges and frustrations. Moreover, many of them induce the conditioning, to achieve something by means of strengthening and heteronomy, which leads the viewer to take a more critical eye on those programs

Interpretação tectono-estratigráfica do reservatório Quissamã (Eo-meso-albiano) nos campos de Pampo, Bicudo e Bonito, Bacia de Campos

Hydrocarbon accumulations occur in marine carbonate reservoirs of Quissamã Formation (early to midlle Albian), southwest Campos Basin. We investigated Pampo, Bicudo and Bonito fields, in order to understand the tectono-structural framework of oncolite/bioclast coarse-grained calcarenite reservoir and the calcilutite-marl-shale sealing interval (Late Albian to Turonian). The database of eleven wells from those fields allowed to elaborate structural sections correlating the Macaé Group – both Quissamã reservoir and Outeiro seal, the latter corresponding to the tectonic deepening phase of basin evolution. Based on density and electric logs, it was prepared structural sections of the carbonate reservoirs with consequent identification of porous zones and oil-water contacts. An extensive 3-D seismic database (~300 Km2) allowed to map three reflectors which represent the limiting units of Macaé Group

Avaliação mecânica da colagem estrutural entre compósitos poliméricos e materiais metálicos utilizados em dutos petroquímicos

The development of technology for structural composites has as one of its ends form a set of materials that combine high values of mechanical strength and stiffness and low density. Today, companies like Embraer and PETROBRAS and research institutions like NASA, working with these materials with recognized advantages in terms of weight gain, increased performance and low corrosion. We have developed a systematic study to determine the bond strength between composite carbon fiber / epoxy and fiberglass / epoxy laminate both bonded to a carbon steel which are widely used in the petrochemical industry and repair. For morphological evaluation and bonding between materials of different natures, ultrasound analysis, optical microscopy and stereoscopy were performed. To simulate actual conditions, the composites were subjected to conditioning by using heat shock temperatures from -50 to 80 ° C for 1000 cycles for composite carbon fiber / epoxy composites and 2000 cycles for fiberglass / epoxy . The use of composites studied here proved to be efficient to perform repairs in metallic pipes with application petrochemical, as when exposed to sudden changes of temperature (-50 ° to 80 ° C) cycling at 1000 to 2000 times, its mechanical properties (shear and tensile) practically do not change

Interferência de aulas de ginástica nos estados de ânimo dos praticantes

Atualmente pode-se observar a importância da atividade física na vida diária da população promovendo, além dos benefícios físicos, benefícios sociais e psicológicos. Nesse sentido a atividade física, mais especificamente a ginástica sistematizada (Body Systems), hoje em dia adepta a boa parcela da população, se tornou importante para seus praticantes, visando à prevenção de lesões, normalizando as funções corporais e proporcionando descontração e socialização. O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi analisar a interferência das aulas de ginástica sistematizadas nos estados de ânimo de seus participantes. Participaram do estudo 35 indivíduos, de ambos os gêneros, estudantes do curso de Educação Física da UNESP de Rio Claro, SP, com disponibilidade para executar as intervenções semanais e que pudessem responder as listas de estados de animo (LEA-RI) antes e após a aula. Neste estudo foram analisados três estilos diferentes de ginástica, a ginástica com pesos, BODYPUMP, a ginástica cardiorrespiratória, BODYATTACK e a ginástica de condicionamento postural que provém de técnicas como o Yoga e o Pilates, o BODYBALANCE. Com base na analise binomial foi possível chegar a alguns resultados significativos quanto à interferência das aulas de ginástica nos estados de animo de seus praticantes. Ao praticar a aula de BODYBALANCE as pessoas se sentiram mais felizes, mais leves e menos desagradáveis correspondendo a proposta da aula. Com o BODYPUMP as pessoas se sentiram mais pesadas e na aula de BODYATTACK sentiram-se além de mais pesadas, menos tímidas, ou melhor, mais descontraídas. Isso mostra que as aulas de ginastica podem ser utilizadas não apenas para benefícios físicos, mas também com objetivos de direcionar para a alteração de determinados aspectos psicológicos

Evolução tectônica do Trend Badejo-Linguado-Pampo, bacia de Campos (RJ)

The regional geological work for the oil industry, in order to find potential areas for hydrocarbon exploration and understand the geological parameters responsible for the formation of the deposit are known importance. This work fits into that scenario, with regional research with the aid of wells and 2D and 3D seismic sold by DBEP (Database Exploration and Production). Were also used as GeoGraphix software package Landmarks modules Prizm and SeisWork 2D and 3D, and the Surfer 8 and ArcGIS 9.2 with the infrastructure provided by the 05 PRH - ANP with LSGI (Laboratory of Seismic and Geological Interpretation) located at UNESP -- Campus de Rio Claro. The work focuses on study the trend of oil-Badejo-Linguado-Pampo, producing fields since the beginning of offshore holdings. The Campos Basin is now known as the offshore basin of the country more productive, and the high structural Badejo is a structure of great importance in the basin presents itself as largely responsible for the conditioning of hydrocarbon fields Pampo, Linguado and Badejo. Therefore this work also aims to increase knowledge of the region in terms of tectonic and stratigraphic characterize the geometry of the structures associated with this major regional structure. For this we used structural contour maps of the main chrono-horizons, and Isopach maps for the purpose of better understanding the tectono-sedimentary evolution of the Campos Basin locally.

Percepção dos portadores de hanseníase acerca do auto cuidado

This study aimed at evaluating the perception of leprosy patients, the disease, with regard to its concept and self-care practice, as well as their knowledge concerning drug therapy. Fifteen patients participated in the study, of whom 11 were classified as multibacillary and 04 as paucibacillary. Semi-structure interviews containing six guiding questions were used for data collection, and the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) was utilized as a theoretical framework. Analysis was performed based on the Theory of Complexity. It showed that patients suffer pain, a fact that is reflected on the need to change habits and prevent disability. It also showed that patients have doubts and feel insecure about treatment and prognosis, and that they are also the target of social prejudice even thought the term leprosy has been replaced by Hansen‟s disease. As regards self-care, the subjects showed lack of autonomy, limitations and subjection to instructions from health care professionals, who, according to the discourse that emerged, are mostly responsible for transmitting the knowledge concerning self-care practice. This fact can be explained by evidence of self-knowledge deficit by the the subjects. Concerning polychemotherapy treatment, which is recommended by the Ministry of Health, it was observed that the knowledge concerning its action and adverse effects is precarious. This information is provided during consultation; however, CSD showed that the subjects do not apprehend it. Therefore, health care professionals must instruct their clients not only as regards conventional treatment practices, but they must also help them to know themselves and to improve their critical judgment so that they can choose the best form of living after being diagnosed with the disease, thus guiding self-care by taking such choice into account
