Estudo para elaboração de um programa de atividades corporais dirigido aos moradores do Asilo Padre Cacique Adriana Fernanda Coltro de Andrade

Este estudo propõe estabelecer as bases necessárias para a elaboração de um programa de atividades dirigido ao corpo dos velhos com idade acima de 80 anos, chamados velhos muito velhos, moradores do Asilo Padre Cacique em Porto Alegre. Partiu-se do pressuposto de que, para atingir esse objetivo, é preciso conhecer as particularidades que caracterizam a população a qual o programa se dirige. A velhice, apesar de fazer parte da vida de todos, é vivenciada de forma distinta pelos sujeitos que envelhecem. Para abordar o que de singular se apresenta na velhice e no processo de envelhecimento realizou-se uma investigação descritiva com características de um estudo de caso. A partir da interlocução entre diferentes áreas que se dedicam à velhice e ao processo de envelhecimento, buscou-se saber como os velhos muito velhos moradores do Asilo Padre Cacique percebem as perdas inerentes ao processo de envelhecimento; se eles participam das atividades corporais oferecidas no Asilo e se eles têm interesse em participar de um programa de atividades dirigidas ao corpo que venha a interferir nessas perdas. Com base nos dados coletados mediante entrevistas semi – estruturadas e observação participante, pode-se verificar a viabilidade da proposta deste estudo e apresentar sugestões para a elaboração de um programa de atividades dirigidas ao corpo dos velhos muito velhos moradores do Asilo Padre Cacique em Porto Alegre.

A metapoesia de Carlos Drummond de Andrade: uma arte poética in actu

O presente trabalho é o estudo da poesia de Carlos Drummond de Andrade (1902-1987) através de uma análise da sua arte poética publicada entre Alguma Poesia (1930) e Farewell (1999). De um projecto de escrita que implicaria inevitavelmente as relações entre a poesia e a realidade, explora-se o conceito metapoético que pode insinuar a privação de contacto entre a poesia e o real empírico. Num primeiro momento, após uma sucinta referência à tradição da poesia sobre a poesia, chega-se à noção de um preconceito contra a metapoesia no século XX e define-se um ponto de partida para a análise propriamente dita da poética drummondiana. Num segundo capitulo, as noções de poeta, poema ou verso, ou melhor, de poesia, são estudadas nas suas particularidades, concomitantemente com a estruturação da arte poética de Drummond. Por fim, a auto-reflexividade é analisada na relação que estabelece entre a metapoesia e a ekphrasis. É neste movimento de auto-reflexão e transformação que assiste a capacidade drummondiana de revelar através da metapoesia não só a sua posição perante as palavras, mas também perante as coisas.

A presença da heteronímia de Fernando Pessoa em Boa Noite, Senhor Soares, de Mário Cláudio

O principal objetivo desta dissertação é descobrir a presença da ortonímia e da heteronímia do escritor português Fernando Pessoa na obra Boa noite, senhor Soares, de Mário Cláudio, bem como a relação com as personagens e suas experiências, contextualizadas em interação histórico-ficcional. Na sequência desta investigação, ficamos também a conhecer um pouco mais sobre a biobibliografia e a escrita de Mário Cláudio, autor que tem por hábito criar alguns dos seus textos em torno da vida de figuras históricas ou artísticas. Tentamos, ainda, entender quais são as características da sua escrita e perceber em que contexto literário e epocal se insere, antes de partirmos para a exploração da novela Boa noite, senhor Soares. De igual modo, com este trabalho pretendemos ajudar a reavivar a memória e a prolongar o legado de Fernando Pessoa. Nesse âmbito, com o intuito de ter uma melhor compreensão global da obra em estudo, será também importante referir o que aproxima os dois autores, isto é, a intertextualidade existente na narrativa em análise, processo que confere originalidade à criação do autor e que resulta num enriquecimento da história da literatura portuguesa. Como tal, numa fase posterior, a nossa atenção irá recair tanto em Fernando Pessoa ortónimo como em alguns dos seus heterónimos, embora tendo sempre por base o grau de relevância que lhes é conferido em Boa noite, senhor Soares, para que seja possível apresentar algumas conclusões em relação a esta investigação. Assim, para além de tentar identificar na novela as presenças de Alberto Caeiro, Álvaro de Campos e Ricardo Reis, procuramos dar resposta à possível conexão existente entre Bernardo Soares, semi-heterónimo de Fernando Pessoa, e o senhor Soares, personagem de relevo na narrativa e objeto de atenção por parte do jovem António da Silva Felício, narrador-personagem que, através do seu olhar atento e curioso, nos dá a conhecer as vivências e as características daquele indivíduo para ele tão enigmático.

Efeitos de um extrato aquoso de porangaba (Cordia salicifolia) na marcação de constituintes sanguíneos com tecnécio-99m e na morfologia de hemácias

Effects of a Cordia salicifolia (porangaba) extract on the labeling of blood cells (BCs) with technetium-99m ((99m)Tc) and on the morphology of red BCs were evaluated. Labeling of cellular and molecular structures with (99m)Tc depends on a reducing agent. Some physical characteristics, as visible absorbance spectrum, electric conductivity, and refractive index of this porangaba extract, were also determined. Blood samples from Wistar rats were incubated with porangaba extract or with 0.9% NaCl (control). Labeling of blood constituents with (99m)Tc was performed. Plasma (P) and BCs, both soluble (SF-P and SF-BC) and insoluble (IF-P and IF-BC) fractions, were separated. The radioactivity in each fraction was counted, and the percentage of radioactivity incorporated (%ATI) was calculated. Blood smears were prepared, fixed, and stained, and the morphology of the red BCs was evaluated. Data showed an absorbance peak at 480 nm and electric conductibility and refractive index concentration-dependent. Porangaba extract decreased significantly (P < .05) the BC, IF-P, and IF-BC %ATI, and no modifications were verified on the shape of red BCs. Analysis of the results reveals that some physical parameters could be useful to aid in characterizing the extract studied. Moreover, it is possible that chemical compounds of this extract could have chelating/redox actions or be capable of binding to plasma and/or cellular proteins

Productivity, biological efficiency, and number of Agaricus blazei mushrooms grown in compost in the presence of Trichoderma sp. and Chaetomium olivacearum contaminants

Foi avaliado o efeito dos fungos contaminantes Trichoderma sp. e C. olivacearum na produtividade, eficiência biológica e número de cogumelos da produção do A. blazei em composto (mistura de cana-de-açúcar, palha de capim coast-cross, farelo de soja, gesso e calcário calcítico). O delineanamento foi inteiramente casualizado com três tratamentos (Trichoderma sp., C. olivacearum e testemunha) e oito repetições (caixa com 12 kg de composto colonizado com A. blazei). Após a colonização do composto pelo A. blazei, adicionou-se 150g de inóculo à base de triticale de cada um dos fungos contaminantes na superfície do composto seguido da camada de cobertura. O experimento foi conduzido em estufa com cobertura plástica, umidade relativa entre 60-90% e temperatura de 20-34ºC. A produtividade foi determinada pela relação entre a massa fresca de basidiomas e a massa úmida do composto. A eficiência biológica foi determinada pela relação entre a massa fresca de basidiomas e a massa seca do composto ao final do período de colheita. de acordo com os resultados obtidos, os fungos contaminantes C. olivacearum e Trichoderma sp. não afetaram a produtividade, eficiência biológica e número de cogumelos da produção do A. blazei em compostos previamente colonizados.

Nitrificação de efluentes de reatores anaeróbicos em filtros submersos aerados

Although the good performance in organic matter and suspended solids removal, the anaerobic reactors are unable to remove ammonia nitrogen from sewage, which makes indispensable to include a step of post-treatment for removal of ammonia or nitrate as necessary. This paper presents the performance of a new variant technology, where the nitrification unit, preceded by anaerobic units, is a submerged aerated biological filter, without continuous sludge discharge in their daily operation. The oxygenation system is very simple and inexpensive, consisting of perforated hoses and compressors. The anaerobic reactors are a septic tank with two chambers followed (8.82 m³) and two parallel anaerobic filters (36 m³ each) filled with ceramic bricks and conics plastic parts. Both followed aerated filters were filled with cut corrugated conduit. The study evaluated the behavior of the system with constant domestic sewage flow (10 m³/d) and different aeration conditions, are these: stage 01, when applied air flow of 0.01 m³ air/min in both aerated filter; stage 02, remained in the initial air flow rate in the second aerated filter and increased at the first to 0.05 m³ air/min; at last, at last, in stage 03, the air flow rate of first aerated filter was 0.10 m³ air/min and on the second remained at 0.01 m³ air/min. The filter FA1 received load of 0.41 kg COD/m³.d, 0.37 kg COD/m³.d and 0.26 kg COD/m³.d on phases 01, 02 and 03, respectively. The FA2 received loads of 0.25 kg COD/m³.d, 0.18 kg COD/m³.d and 0.14 kg COD/m³.d on phases 01, 02 and 03, respectively. During stage 01, were found the following results: 98% removals of BODtotal and 92% of CODtotal, with effluent presenting 9 mg/L of BODtotal final average and 53 mg/L of CODtotal average; suspended solids removals of 93%, with a mean concentration of 10 mg/L in the final effluent; 47% reduction of ammonia of FA2 to FAN 's, presenting average of 28 mg NNH3/ L of ammonia in the effluent with; the dissolved oxygen levels always remained around 2.0 mg/L. During stage 02, were found removals of 97% and 95% to BODtotal and suspended solids, respectively, with average final concentrations of 8 and 7 mg/L, respectively; was removed 60% of ammonia, whose final concentration was 16.3 mg NNH3/ L, and nitrate was increased to a final average concentration of 16.55 mg N-NO3/L. Finally, the stage 03 provided 6 mg/L of DBOtotal (98% removal) and 23 mg/L of CODtotal (95% removal) of final effluent concentrations average. At this stage was identified the higher ammonia oxidation (86%), with final effluent showing average concentration of 6.1 mg N-NH3/L, reaching a minimum of 1.70 mg N-NH3/L. In some moments, during stage 03, there was a moderate denitrification process in the last aerated filter. The average turbidity in the effluent showed around 1.5 NTU, proving the good biomass physical stability. Therefore, the results demonstrate the submerged biological filters potential, filled with high void ratio material (98%), and aerated with hoses and compressor adoption, in the carbonaceous and nitrogenous matter oxidation, also generating an effluent with low concentration of solids

Remoção de nitrogênio em biofiltros aerado e anóxico, com alto índice de vazios e sem remoção de lodo

The improper disposal of nitrogen in receiving water courses causes problems such as toxicity to living beings through the consumption of oxygen to meet the nitrogen demand, eutrophication and nitrate contamination of aquifers. For this reason it is often necessary to be carried out complementary treatment of wastewater to eliminate or reduce the concentration of this compound in the wastewater. The objective of this study is to evaluate the biological removal of nitrogen compounds using submerged aerated and anoxic filters as post-treatment of an anaerobic system, with low cost and innovative technology, which in previous studies has shown high removal efficiency of organic matter and great potential biological nitrogen compounds removal. The simple design with perforated hoses for air distribution and filling with plastic parts proved to be very efficient in relation to organic matter removal and nitrification. The system presented, in the best stage, efficiency in converting ammonia to nitrate by 71%, and produced a final effluent concentration below 10 mg / L of NH3-N. In addition, carbon concentration was removed by 77%, producing final effluent with 24 mg/L COD. However, denitrification in anoxic filter was not effective even with the addition of an external carbon source. There was a reduction of up to 56% of nitrogen caused by the process of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND). The high voids space presented by this type of support material coupled with direct aeration of the sludge, allows the respiration of biomass retained between the endogenous phase, increased cell retention time and sludge retention capacity, producing a final effluent with turbidity less than 5 UT and total suspended solids around 5.0 mg/L

A falta de ética e de espírito público na política brasileira

Unfortunately, the Brazilian politics has been characterized by lack of ethics. In a few exceptions, our representatives often behave in the exercise of power as if they were there to care for their own interests and not public affairs. Despite the dissatisfaction that the situation seems to trigger to society, the electorate does not get to transform their anger into effective gesture in order to withdraw from the public setting people who can not fulfill their mandate at the polls. Instead, the re-election of bad politicians has become commonplace fact. In this study, we proposed to discuss the matter in light of traditional philosophical theories, by selecting exponents of ethical thought from the Ancient Period to the Modern. We put special emphasis on behalf of amorality in Florentine thinker's ideas, to Machiavelli s political doctrine.
