Implantação do sistema kanban para elementos de fixação em maquinas de movimentação de terra

Always seeking the maximum profit under the reduced production time and lower number of failures, companies are increasingly evolving and going after continuous improvement in order to remain competitive in the market. Thus, increasingly there is investment in the management system Lean manufacturing. Lean system is very important, because through it, the maximum value is added in the final product. Being measured by the efficiency and reducing failures to zero. In the studied company, Lean manufacturing system came into effect through the kanban system for purchasing, control and distribution of bulk material used in the assembly of the final product, which are earth-moving machines. It is very important to check the great change made in the company with the implementation of kanban. All inventory management becomes visual, elements are arranged in an organized manner, with addresses in structures, calculated in special boxes and finally, assemblers have the guarantee of an item supply, with the distribution cars located on their assembly area. This study participates effectively assuring the supply. Avoiding any failure on the lack of material, non-compliance of delivery times to the customer and maintenance of over-stock or obsolete inventory, in which case both cause financial loss to the company

Participação da angiotensina na manutenção da pressão arterial em ratos depletados de sódio

Alterações de volemia podem ser causadas por diferentes situações fisiológicas como vômito, diarreia, aumento da ingestão de sódio, ou pelo uso de diuréticos. A depleção de sódio produzida pela injeção subcutânea (s.c.) do diurético furosemida acompanhada de uma dieta deficiente em sódio por 24 horas é um modelo amplamente utilizado no nosso laboratório para o estudo do apetite ao sódio. A depleção de sódio com o diurético furosemida promove um aumento da excreção de sódio e água, levando a alterações no balanço hidroeletrolítico corporal dos, ativando assim respostas comportamentais, hormonais e autonômicas para corrigir tais mudanças e restaurar a homeostase. Estudo do nosso laboratório demonstrou que apesar de apresentarem redução de volume plasmático, não se observa alterações significativas da pressão arterial em ratos com 24 h de depleção de sódio pelo tratamento com o diurético furosemida combinado com uma dieta deficiente de sódio. Desta forma, no presente estudo investigamos o papel do sistema renina-angiotensina pela injeção periférica de losartan (antagonista de receptores AT1 de angiotensina) e do sistema vasopressinérgico pela injeção periférica de composto de Manning (antagonista de receptores V1 de vasopressina) na manutenção da pressão arterial de ratos depletados de sódio. Foram utilizados ratos Holtzman (280-300 g, n=73) com cateter inserido na artéria femoral para registro da pressão arterial pulsátil (PAP) e veia femoral para injeção intravenosa (i.v.) de losartan ou composto de Manning. A pressão arterial média (PAM) e frequência cardíaca (FC) foram calculadas a partir do registro da PAP. A depleção de sódio foi induzida pelo tratamento com o diurético furosemida injetado subcutaneamente (s.c.) combinado com uma dieta deficiente em sódio por 24 h e livre acesso a água. Os parâmetros cardiovasculares foram medidos em ratos depletados de sódio (tratados...

Manejo das fraturas nasais com manutenção das vias aéreas superiores

Nasal fractures are extremely frequent. The nasal bones are the third most frequently fractured bones in the human skeleton. This is due to their prominent position on the face and to the diminished bone thickness. As a result, weak forces can cause nasal fractures, while stronger forces can comminute the nasal bones. In general, assaults, falls and sports injuries are the etiologies most commonly involved in nasal trauma. The diagnosis of such fractures is basically clinical and their treatment is usually by closed reduction with good results reported in all the relevant literature. Thus, the aim of this paper is to report a modification of the closed reduction technique for the treatment of these fractures.

Feeding frequency, but not dietary water content, affects voluntary physical activity in young lean adult female cats

The objective of this study was to investigate whether increased dietary water content and feeding frequency increased voluntary physical activity of young, lean adult female cats. A replicated 4 x 4 Latin square design with a 2 x 2 factorial treatment arrangement (feeding frequency and water content) was used. The 4 treatments consisted of 1 meal daily dry pet food without added water (1D; 12% moisture as is), 1 meal daily dry pet food with added water (1W; 70% total water content), 4 meals daily dry pet food without added water (4D; 12% moisture as is), and 4 meals daily dry pet food with added water (4W; 70% total water content). Eight healthy adult, lean, intact, young, female domestic shorthair cats were used in this experiment. Voluntary physical activity was evaluated using Actical activity monitors placed on collars and worn around the cats'necks for the last 7 d of each experimental period of 14 d. Food anticipatory activity (FAA) was calculated based on 2 h prior to feeding periods and expressed as a percentage of total daily voluntary physical activity. Increased feeding frequency (4 vs. 1 meal daily) resulted in greater average daily activity (P = 0.0147), activity during the light period (P = 0.0023), and light: dark activity ratio (P = 0.0002). In contrast, physical activity during the dark period was not altered by feeding frequency (P > 0.05). Cats fed 4 meals daily had increased afternoon FAA (P = 0.0029) compared with cats fed once daily. Dietary water content did not affect any measure of voluntary physical activity. Increased feeding frequency is an effective strategy to increase the voluntary physical activity of cats. Thus, it may assist in the prevention and management of obesity.

Estudo clínico comparativo da manutenção do aprofundamento de sulco nas vestibuloplastias mandibulares, através das técnicas de tuneilização submucosa e epitelização secundária

For some time, oral surgeons have tried several surgical procedures to improve the alveolar ridge for prosthetic appliance construction. The techniques used for this purpose are divided into four groups: submucosal vestibuloplasty; secondary epithelization; soft tissue grafting and transpositional flaps. Twenty patients who had problems to wear dentures due to unsatisfactory retention and stability were selected at the Oral and MaxilloFacial Surgery and Traumatology Clinic of Dental School of São José dos Campos. They were divided in two groups and operated by submucosal vestibuloplasty using stents and secondary epithelization vestibuloplasty by Clark's technique and were evaluated twelve months after operations in relationship of the sulcus depth. The results were obtained by clinical and radiological examination before and after surgery, and they are similar to those found in the literature reaching satisfactory functional judgement
