A nursery for seamen: life histories from the St. John's Royal Naval Hospital Cemetery, Newfoundland

A cemetery associated with the St. John’s Royal Naval Hospital, NL (~1725-1825) was partially excavated in 1979, uncovering the skeletal remains of at least 21 individuals. Isotopic analyses (δ¹³Cvpdb, δ¹⁵Nair, δ¹⁸Ovpdb, and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) were used to examine the diet and geographic origins of these individuals and compare them with recent results from other British Naval cemeteries. Their origins according to enamel carbonates and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr are mainly consistent with the British Isles and the bone collagen values were largely consistent with naval rations. There was some variability in δ¹⁵Nair and δ¹³Cvpdb values, suggesting different social classes and the consumption of C₄ foods associated with North America. While this study has highlighted deficiencies in the ability of isotopic analyses to define the variability within naval rations, it is the first to examine origins of early modern naval sailors isotopically, as well as the experiences of these sailors within the context of Newfoundland.

Estágio de natação na equipa de competição da Associação Naval Amorense

Este relatório surge no âmbito do Mestrado em Treino Desportivo, pretendendo dar a conhecer as minhas aprendizagens e trabalho desenvolvido durante o estágio de carater profissionalizante realizado com a equipa de natação absoluta da Associação Naval Amorense ao longo da época 2014/2016. Este estágio permitiu-me analisar e intervir em diversos aspetos integrados no processo de treino da modalidade de natação, tais como: a análise e correção técnica, análise do planeamento da época desportiva e intervenção, tanto em contexto de competição como também em tarefas das sessões de treino. Desta forma, foi-me possível não só obter um conhecimento mais abrangente e real dos processos de treino, mas também, o enquadramento da informação e conhecimento que foram fornecidos ao longo de todo o meu percurso académico. Foi ainda possível acrescentar uma componente de investigação a este mesmo relatório, através de um projeto cientifico realizado com alguns dos nadadores de referência do clube.

Análise do Risco de Fadiga no Mar Aplicação da ferramenta Martha a bordo de uma unidade naval

A segurança da navegação e a diminuição dos acidentes marítimos assumem nos dias de hoje um papel de extrema importância a nível internacional, principalmente por parte da indústria marítima, e é na base desta preocupação que surgem organizações como a International Maritime Organization (IMO). Nesta organização, o estudo do fator humano no domínio marítimo tem tido grandes desenvolvimentos, não só através da regulamentação com também da sensibilização dos vários intervenientes. A fadiga no mar, embora seja um tema usual entre os navegantes, nunca houve uma grande sensibilização neste setor. Um tema que envolve a segurança do pessoal e que apenas recentemente foram elaborados estudos relativamente às suas causas, consequências e sobretudo à sua prevenção. É neste sentido que surge o Project Horizon, promovido pela União Europeia, com o objetivo de investigar os padrões de eficácia de alerta dos elementos responsáveis pela condução e manutenção das plataformas marítimas. Como produto final deste projeto europeu surge um protótipo de uma ferramenta de previsão da fadiga. A ferramenta “MARTHA – maritime alertness”, permite relacionar horas de descanso com horas de trabalho, sustentando a análise contínua do risco de fadiga. Este trabalho de investigação, onde é aplicado um protótipo de uma ferramenta para a previsão da fadiga, a bordo de uma unidade naval da Marinha Portuguesa, tem como objetivo a avaliação do risco da fadiga em diferentes regimes horários de bordo. Para este estudo foram elaborados observações de diferentes regimes horários de bordo, por forma a conseguir uma maior variedade de dados e poder analisar comparativamente o rendimento dos respetivos regimes. Esta pesquisa constitui ainda uma medida de sensibilização para a importância da implementação de políticas de gestão da fadiga a bordo das unidades navais.

Boys In White: A Classic Of Qualitative Research Turns 50.

This article analyzes Boys in white: student culture in medical schoolby Howard S. Becker, Blanche Geer, Everett C. Hughes and Anselm Strauss, considered a model of qualitative research in sociology. The analysis investigates the trajectories of the authors, the book, qualitative analysis, and the medical students, emphasizing their importance in the origins of medical sociology and the sociology of medical education. In the trajectory of the authors, bibliographical information is given. The trajectory of qualitative research focuses on how this methodology influences the construction of the field. The investigation of the students' trajectory shows how they progress through their first years at medical school to build their own student culture.

[strategies For Tackling Absenteeism In Dental Appointments In The Family Health Units Of A Large Municipality: Action Research].

The aim of this study was to analyze the reasons for missed appointments in dental Family Health Units (FHU) and implement strategies to reduce same through action research. This is a study conducted in 12 FHUs in Piracicaba in the State of São Paulo from January, 1 to December, 31 2010. The sample was composed of 385 users of these health units who were interviewed over the phone and asked about the reasons for missing dental appointments, as well as 12 dentists and 12 nurses. Two workshops were staged with professionals: the first to assess the data collected in interviews and develop strategy, and the second for evaluation after 4 months. The primary cause for missed appointments was the opening hours of the units coinciding with the work schedule of the users. Among the strategies suggested were lectures on oral health, ongoing education in team meetings, training of Community Health Agents, participation in therapeutic groups and partnerships between Oral Health Teams and the social infrastructure of the community. The adoption of the single medical record was the strategy proposed by professionals. The strategies implemented led to a 66.6% reduction in missed appointments by the units and the motivating nature of the workshops elicited critical reflection to redirect health practices.

Innovation and entrepreneurship in scientific research

This research wants to lay emphasis on topics that historicize and rescue concepts, in addition, shows the relation between innovation and socioeconomic development resulted; reviews the legal framework to stimulate new innovation into Brazilian society; considers the definition and the entrepreneur university's new paradigm; and finally, this research highlights the importance of teaching entrepreneur at universities, with straight society benefits. The results suggests that innovation is directly enrolled with a successful development of certain society, as well, is actually the biggest business competitive differential into corporative universe. In one way of getting results of social advancement to inform entrepreneur research practice, it appears that entrepreneurs concepts, necessarily, must be incorporated into the array of Science/Technology/Innovation for the effective development of supported formula. This article develops a thought about actual scientific researches paradigm, the way that is built on today, and if it's sufficient to effectively get the results that society expects from main bodies to create human resource and researches, especially those with innovation aspects, at Brazilian economic improvement.

AcMus: an open, integrated platform for room acoustics research

This article describes the design, implementation, and experiences with AcMus, an open and integrated software platform for room acoustics research, which comprises tools for measurement, analysis, and simulation of rooms for music listening and production. Through use of affordable hardware, such as laptops, consumer audio interfaces and microphones, the software allows evaluation of relevant acoustical parameters with stable and consistent results, thus providing valuable information in the diagnosis of acoustical problems, as well as the possibility of simulating modifications in the room through analytical models. The system is open-source and based on a flexible and extensible Java plug-in framework, allowing for cross-platform portability, accessibility and experimentation, thus fostering collaboration of users, developers and researchers in the field of room acoustics.
