Organização do processo de trabalho vivenciada pelas Equipes de Saúde da Família do município de São Sebastião do Paraíso/MG, a partir da adesão ao Programa de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica ( PMAQ - AB)

Este trabalho é um relato de experiência da implantação do Programa de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica (PMAQ-AB) e do Prêmio de Melhoria da Atenção Integral à Saúde (PMAIS) pelo município de São Sebastião do Paraíso, Minas Gerais, com ênfase na reorganização direta das ações de planejamento, avaliação e monitoramento da Estratégia de Saúde da Família. Ele também descreve o incentivo do município no estímulo das equipes de Saúde da Família na participação do PMAQ-AB e os resultados obtidos pelas ações implantadas e os potenciais pontos a serem melhorados no programa e no prêmio. Tanto na implantação do PMAQ-AB quanto na do PMAIS, houve discussões entre equipes e gestão municipal, com destaque para os mecanismos de verificação do processo de trabalho, além da produção, acompanhamento e avaliação de indicadores. O incentivo financeiro do prêmio motivou as equipes na busca dos resultados, permitindo a implantação de instrumentos como: fichários rotativos de controle de mulheres em idade fértil, crianças até dois anos, hipertensos e diabéticos; atualização permanente do Sistema de Informação da Atenção Básica e; o aperfeiçoamento do sistema de gestão com apoiadores de suporte às equipes. O exemplo de São Sebastião do Paraíso em relação ao PMAQ-AB mostra que o caminho do Ministério da Saúde no fortalecimento da Atenção Básica no país passa pela melhoria da qualidade por meio de instrumentalização das equipes e pelo pagamento financeiro por resultados.

Implantação do PMAQ: em busca da qualidade nos serviços da atenção básica do município de Pompéu - MG

Nos últimos anos a visão conservadora de que a qualidade na saúde dependia apenas da habilidade do médico, da sua competência e decisões, vem sendo deixada para trás e abrindo espaço para transformações nos processos de trabalho das equipes da atenção básica, provocando profundas mudanças no paradigma assistencial, envolvendo desde parâmetros adequados para a avaliação até mesmo maiores investimentos por parte do próprio governo na qualificação dos profissionais. Estas mudanças definem ainda a Atenção Primária como porta de entrada do sistema e eixo estruturante para o fortalecimento da saúde no Brasil. Nesta perspectiva, o Governo Federal lançou em julho de 2011 o Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica (PMAQ-AB), como instrumento norteador para o alcance das metas propostas pela Estratégia. Nesse sentido o presente estudo propõe analisar os resultados apontados pela Comissão de Avaliação Externa do Ministério da Saúde, quanto às melhorias alcançadas com a implantação do PMAQ no município de Pompéu-MG, bem como sugerir a adoção de instrumentos de gestão que permitam melhorar os processos de trabalho das equipes, de forma a impactar diretamente na qualidade do acesso da atenção básica no município.

Avaliação da satisfação das usuárias sobre a atenção à saúde da mulher no Rio Grande do Norte

This work discusses the evaluation of the satisfaction of the users on the women health care focusing on the quality of the primary care in the State of Rio Grande do Norte-BR. The main objective of this research is evaluate the satisfaction of the users about the actions applied to women health in the primary health care in Rio Grande do Norte, observing the information available through the Programa de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica (PMAQ-AB). The specific objectives are: the evaluation of aspects related to women health; the evaluation of the specific actions related to welcoming the pregnant and; the evaluation of the information related to the postpartum. This dissertation is characterized as an evaluative research made through a multicentric transversal study, using a quantitative approach, which is part of the External Evaluation of the PMAQ-AB in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, made by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. Some secondary data of the interviews with the users who were in the Basic Health Units were used during the External Evaluation of the PMAQ-AB in Rio Grande do Norte. The sample was collected following these criteria: the users that were in the Basic Health Units to attend to any procedure; they must had used the services for at least one year; and they must had agreed to participate the research. The ones that were attending to the services for the first time and the ones that did not use the services for at least 12 months were excluded from the sample. To the data collection it was used a chart of variables/indicators with the following information to the analysis: Women Health Care, Specific Care of the Pregnant and Information about he postpartum. The descriptive analysis of the data were made through absolute and relative frequencies of the variables using the software Statistic Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows, version 22.0.0. The results show a positive picture of the satisfaction of the users about the actions of the primary healthcare in women health in the State of the Rio Grande do Norte. Another important analysis is the integration of the primary health care with other points of the Healthcare System aiming to reorient the Model of Healthcare as a starter of the access and quality of the services given to the users. Therefore, the evaluation of the satisfaction of the users in health care is essential among all the agents involved in the process of consolidation of the Unified Health System SUS. Also having the need of rethinking the professional practice, reorganizing the processes of work of the multiprofessional teams in health care, enabling financial resources, inputs and materials, planning and systematizing new actions of healthcare aiming to ensure a perfect health care to the people

Kinematic analysis and membership status of TWA22 AB

Context. TWA22 was initially regarded as a member of the TW Hydrae association (TWA). In addition to being one of the youngest (approximate to 8 Myr) and nearest (approximate to 20 pc) stars to Earth, TWA22 has proven to be very interesting after being resolved as a tight, very low-mass binary. This binary can serve as a very useful dynamical calibrator for pre-main sequence evolutionary models. However, its membership in the TWA has been recently questioned despite due to the lack of accurate kinematic measurements. Aims. Based on proper motion, radial velocity, and trigonometric parallax measurements, we aim here to re-analyze the membership of TWA22 to young, nearby associations. Methods. Using the ESO NTT/SUSI2 telescope, we observed TWA22 AB during 5 different observing runs over 1.2 years to measure its trigonometric parallax and proper motion. This is a part of a larger project measuring trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions of most known TWA members at a sub-milliarcsec level. HARPS at the ESO 3.6 m telescope was also used to measure the system's radial velocity over 2 years. Results. We report an absolute trigonometric parallax of TWA22 AB, pi = 57.0 +/- 0.7 mas, corresponding to a distance 17.5 +/- 0.2 pc from Earth. Measured proper motions of TWA 22AB are mu(alpha) cos(delta) = -175.8 +/- 0.8 mas/yr and mu delta = -21.3 +/- 0.8 mas/yr. Finally, from HARPS measurements, we obtain a radial velocity V(rad) = 14.8 +/- 2.1 km s(-1). Conclusions. A kinematic analysis of TWA22 AB space motion and position implies that a membership of TWA22 AB to known young, nearby associations can be excluded except for the beta Pictoris and TW Hydrae associations. Membership probabilities based on the system's Galactic space motion and/or the trace-back technique support a higher chance of being a member to the beta Pictoris association. Membership of TWA22 in the TWA cannot be fully excluded because of large uncertainties in parallax measurements and radial velocities and to the uncertain internal velocity dispersion of its members.

Mn dimers on graphene nanoribbons: An ab initio study

We show, using ab initio density functional theory calculations, that Mn dimers adsorbed on graphene nanoribbons (Mn(2)/GNRs) present a magnetic bistability, as does the isolated Mn dimer. Our total energy results indicate that Mn dimers lying along the edge sites of zigzag GNRs represent the most likely configuration. We find that similar to the isolated Mn(2) molecule, the antiferromagnetic coupling represents the ground state for Mn(2)/GNR, and the spin density configuration of the GNR does not play an important role on the net magnetic moment of Mn(2), which makes GNRs an ideal substrate for adsorption of these molecules. The ground state and the excited state configuration of the Mn dimer, viz., low-spin (LS) and high-spin (HS), are maintained in the face of changes in the spin density configuration of the substrate. Here we find that the Mn(2)/GNR systems exhibit a LS <-> HS binary behavior, which can be considered as a useful property in the development of nanomemories based upon metallic clusters.

Bilayer graphene dual-gate nanodevice: An ab initio simulation

We study the electronic transport properties of a dual-gated bilayer graphene nanodevice via first-principles calculations. We investigate the electric current as a function of gate length and temperature. Under the action of an external electrical field we show that even for gate lengths up 100 angstrom, a nonzero current is exhibited. The results can be explained by the presence of a tunneling regime due the remanescent states in the gap. We also discuss the conditions to reach the charge neutrality point in a system free of defects and extrinsic carrier doping.

Accurate prediction of the Si/SiO(2) interface band offset using the self-consistent ab initio DFT/LDA-1/2 method

We use the density functional theory/local-density approximation (DFT/LDA)-1/2 method [L. G. Ferreira , Phys. Rev. B 78, 125116 (2008)], which attempts to fix the electron self-energy deficiency of DFT/LDA by half-ionizing the whole Bloch band of the crystal, to calculate the band offsets of two Si/SiO(2) interface models. Our results are similar to those obtained with a ""state-of-the-art"" GW approach [R. Shaltaf , Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 186401 (2008)], with the advantage of being as computationally inexpensive as the usual DFT/LDA. Our band gap and band offset predictions are in excellent agreement with experiments.

Edge effects in bilayer graphene nanoribbons: Ab initio total-energy density functional theory calculations

We show that the ground state of zigzag bilayer graphene nanoribbons is nonmagnetic. It also possesses a finite gap, which has a nonmonotonic dependence with the width as a consequence of the competition between bulk and strongly attractive edge interactions. All results were obtained using ab initio total-energy density functional theory calculations with the inclusion of parametrized van der Waals interactions.

Spin filtering and disorder-induced magnetoresistance in carbon nanotubes: Ab initio calculations

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes can provide reactive sites on the porphyrin-like defects. It is well known that many porphyrins have transition-metal atoms, and we have explored transition-metal atoms bonded to those porphyrin-like defects inN-doped carbon nanotubes. The electronic structure and transport are analyzed by means of a combination of density functional theory and recursive Green's function methods. The results determined the heme B-like defect (an iron atom bonded to four nitrogens) is the most stable and has a higher polarization current for a single defect. With randomly positioned heme B defects in nanotubes a few hundred nanometers long, the polarization reaches near 100%, meaning they are effective spin filters. A disorder-induced magnetoresistance effect is also observed in those long nanotubes, and values as high as 20 000% are calculated with nonmagnectic eletrodes.

Barrier-free substitutional doping of graphene sheets with boron atoms: Ab initio calculations

Using ab initio methods, we propose a simple and effective way to substitutionally dope graphene sheets with boron. The method consists of selectively exposing each side of the graphene sheet to different elements. We first expose one side of the membrane to boron while the other side is exposed to nitrogen. Proceeding this way, the B atoms will be spontaneously incorporated into the graphene membrane without any activation barrier. In a second step, the system should be exposed to a H-rich environment, which will remove the CN radical from the layer and form HCN, leading to a perfect substitutional doping.

Amorphous HfO(2) and Hf(1-x)Si(x)O via a melt-and-quench scheme using ab initio molecular dynamics

We have performed ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to generate an atomic structure model of amorphous hafnium oxide (a-HfO(2)) via a melt-and-quench scheme. This structure is analyzed via bond-angle and partial pair distribution functions. These results give a Hf-O average nearest-neighbor distance of 2.2 angstrom, which should be compared to the bulk value, which ranges from 1.96 to 2.54 angstrom. We have also investigated the neutral O vacancy and a substitutional Si impurity for various sites, as well as the amorphous phase of Hf(1-x)Si(x)O(2) for x=0.25, 0375, and 0.5.
