Prevalencia de síntomas osteomúsculares en centro médico de medicina prepagada, durante el año 2013.Bogotá.

Objetivo: determinar la prevalencia de síntomas osteomusculares, en los trabajadores administrativos y asistenciales en un centro médico de medicina prepagada en Bogotá, durante el año 2013. Método: Se trata de un estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal, realizado en trabajadores que desarrollan actividades asistenciales y administrativas en un centro médico de medicina prepagada en Bogotá, durante el año 2013, dentro del cual se aplicó a 93 trabajadores el Cuestionario Estandarizado Nórdico en su versión validada al español para la detección y análisis de los síntomas músculo-esqueléticos. Resultado: Se encontró una alta prevalencia en síntomas localizados en región lumbar (50,5%), seguido de síntomas en cuello (46,2%) y manos (44,2%). La población estudiada en su mayoría fue del género femenino (84,9%). En cuanto a la distribución por edad gran parte se encuentra entre el rango de 30 a 49 años (67,7%), así mismo, de acuerdo al área de trabajo la mayoría son administrativos (36,6%). Con respecto a las asociaciones, encontramos mayor frecuencia de síntomas lumbares en el género femenino que en el masculino y los síntomas en manos se presentan comúnmente en el personal asistencial. Conclusión: Durante el estudio se demostró que los síntomas osteomusculares son habituales en la población estudiada, además de su relación con otros estudios, los cuales ponen de manifiesto cómo los factores de riesgo ocupacionales son condiciones determinantes para la aparición de estos síntomas, de lo cual se puede inferir la necesidad de implementar programas a futuro para disminuir la prevalencia y severidad de estas lesiones.

La Estrategia Nacional de Defensa de Brasil como respuesta al dilema de seguridad regional con Chile, Venezuela y Colombia (1998-2008)

El interés de esta monografía es analizar la influencia que la configuración de un dilema de seguridad en Suramérica entre Chile, Venezuela y Colombia durante el periodo 1998-2008, tuvo en la formulación de la Estrategia Nacional de Defensa de Brasil de 2008. Se analiza cómo el cambio en la estructura de poder regional y en la distribución relativa de capacidades producto de las acciones de estos actores, afectó la definición de los lineamientos y acciones estratégicas de la Estrategia Nacional de Defensa, en tanto Brasil buscaba consolidar su papel como potencia en Suramérica. Teniendo en cuenta el realismo defensivo como marco explicativo y su enfoque en temas asociados a la seguridad, se realiza un análisis que permita comprender la situación suramericana descrita y el alcance de la teoría como herramienta analítica.

Formalización del programa para garantizar la secuencialización de tareas, 3. Establecimiento de un sistema de registro de ayudas para la evaluación del aprendizaje del alumno..

Learning how older adults undertake computer tasks [poster]

This paper describes a study that was conducted to learn more about how older adults use the tools in a GUI to undertake tasks in Windows applications. The objective was to gain insight into what people did and what they found most difficult. File and folder manipulation, and some aspects of formatting presented difficulties, and these were thought to be related to a lack of understanding of the task model, the correct interpretation of the visual cues presented by the interface, and the recall and translation of the task model into a suitable sequence of actions.

Environmental factors and features that influence visual search in a 3D WIMP interface

The challenge of moving past the classic Window Icons Menus Pointer (WIMP) interface, i.e. by turning it ‘3D’, has resulted in much research and development. To evaluate the impact of 3D on the ‘finding a target picture in a folder’ task, we built a 3D WIMP interface that allowed the systematic manipulation of visual depth, visual aides, semantic category distribution of targets versus non-targets; and the detailed measurement of lower-level stimuli features. Across two separate experiments, one large sample web-based experiment, to understand associations, and one controlled lab environment, using eye tracking to understand user focus, we investigated how visual depth, use of visual aides, use of semantic categories, and lower-level stimuli features (i.e. contrast, colour and luminance) impact how successfully participants are able to search for, and detect, the target image. Moreover in the lab-based experiment, we captured pupillometry measurements to allow consideration of the influence of increasing cognitive load as a result of either an increasing number of items on the screen, or due to the inclusion of visual depth. Our findings showed that increasing the visible layers of depth, and inclusion of converging lines, did not impact target detection times, errors, or failure rates. Low-level features, including colour, luminance, and number of edges, did correlate with differences in target detection times, errors, and failure rates. Our results also revealed that semantic sorting algorithms significantly decreased target detection times. Increased semantic contrasts between a target and its neighbours correlated with an increase in detection errors. Finally, pupillometric data did not provide evidence of any correlation between the number of visible layers of depth and pupil size, however, using structural equation modelling, we demonstrated that cognitive load does influence detection failure rates when there is luminance contrasts between the target and its surrounding neighbours. Results suggest that WIMP interaction designers should consider stimulus-driven factors, which were shown to influence the efficiency with which a target icon can be found in a 3D WIMP interface.

Produktion av marknadsförings- och korrespondensmaterial för DUCIS

The report describes the production of graphic correspondence and marketing material for DUCIS(Dalarna University Centre for Irish Studies).A logotype symbol is created on the basis of an element from the Celtic art, and a graphic material thatharmonies with this ideal of style is built around the symbol. A unique visiting card, correspondence cardand letterhead is produced to strengthen the identity of DUCIS outwards.The work proceeds with an international education folder which is an important element in the marketingwork for the MA-education which starts in the autumn of 2003. Two posters, one for the opening ofDUCIS in may 2003 and one for a conference in 2004, are produced. Finally, a redesign of the book coverfor NIS, Nordic Irish Studies, is carried out.The report describes the working process consisting of meetings, practical work and other elementswithin the process. The conclusion is that the work has been quite successful and that this, to a largeextent, depended on an engaged and supporting commissioner. The commissioner also is very satisfi edwith the results.The in-depth studies of the project is about the art and design of the Celtic culture throughout history.The text gives an account for the history and expressions of Celtic art from its birth, 2800 years ago, untilits death in 13th century Ireland and Scotland. Special attention is payed to the golden age of ChristianCeltic art on the british islands, the era from which the pattern of the DUCIS logotype originates.

Defesa e controle: uma análise da presença civil no ministério da defesa brasileiro

This thesis aims to examine the contribution of civilian presence towards the establishment of civil control over the military under civilian perspective in the Ministry of Defense. Using a qualitative approach this research aimed to present a new point of view of civil participation in the administration of the Defense folder, usually addressed through military perception. Interviews were conducted with 11 civil servants working in the Ministry in order to capture their perception on civilian participation on their field of operation. Highlighting the strong military culture present in the field, the interaction between civilian and military and the qualification and training of civilians working in the field. Evidence collected focused on the control suggest that, in contrast to the official discourse and despite the advances made in recent years, civilian control of the process still needs to progress and reach key elements in order to be deemed to be established.

Construção de modelos de interação in silico e in vitro do inibidor do tipo Kunitz de Adenanthera pavonina L. para as enzimas cisteínicas e serínicas

Serines proteinases inhibitors (PIs) are widely distributed in nature and are able to inhibit both in vitro and in vivo enzymatic activites. Seed PIs in than leguminous are classified in seven families, Bowman-Birk and Kunitz type families that most studied representing an important role in the first line of defense toward insects pests. Some Kunitz type inhibitors possess activities serine and cysteine for proteinases named bifunctional inhibitor, as ApTKI the inhibitor isolate from seed of Adenanthera pavonina. The A. pavonina inhibitor presenting the uncommon property and was used for interaction studies between proteinases serine (trypsin) and cysteine (papain). In order to determinate the in vitro interaction of ApTKI against enzymes inhibitor purification was carried cut by using chromatographic techniques and inhibition assays. The 3D model of the bifunctional inhibitor ApTKI was constructed SWISS-MODEL program by homology modeling using soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI, pdb:1ba7), as template which presented 40% of identity to A. pavonina inhibitor. Model quality was evaluated by PROCHECK program. Moreover in silico analyzes of formed complex between the enzymes and ApTKI was evaluated by HEX 4.5 program. In vitro results confirmed the inhibitory assays, where the inhibitor presented the ability to simultaneously inhibit trypsin and papain. The residues encountered in the inhibitor model of folder structural three-dimensional that make contact to enzymes target coud explain the specificity pattern against serine and cysteine proteinases

Adição de vermiculita expandida mícron em pastas de baixa densidade para cimentação de poços de petróleo

The northeastern region of Brazil has a large number of wells producing oil using a method of secondary recovery steam injection, since the oil produced in this region is essentially viscous. This recovery method puts the cement / coating on thermal cycling, due to the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between cement and metal coating causes the appearance of cracks at this interface, allowing the passage of the annular fluid, which is associated with serious risk socioeconomic and environmental. In view of these cracks, a correction operation is required, resulting in more costs and temporary halt of production of the well. Alternatively, the oil industry has developed technology for adding new materials in cement pastes, oil well, providing high ductility and low density in order to withstand the thermo-mechanical loads generated by the injection of water vapor. In this context, vermiculite, a clay mineral found in abundance in Brazil has been applied in its expanded form in the construction industry for the manufacture of lightweight concrete with excellent insulation and noise due to its high melting point and the presence of air in their layers lamellar. Therefore, the vermiculite is used for the purpose of providing low-density cement paste and withstand high temperatures caused by steam injection. Thus, the present study compared the default folder containing cement and water with the folders with 6%, 8% and 10% vermiculite micron conducting tests of free water, rheology and compressive strength where it obtained the concentration of 8 % with the best results. Subsequently, the selected concentration, was compared with the results recommended by the API standard tests of filtered and stability. And finally, analyzed the results from tests of specific gravity and time of thickening. Before the study we were able to make a folder with a low density that can be used in cementing oil well in order to withstand the thermo-mechanical loads generated by steam injection

Adição de resíduo cerâmico em pastas geopoliméricas para cimentação de poços de petróleo

The development of activities the of oil and gas sector have promoted the search for suitable materials for cementing oil wells. In the state of the Rio Grande do Norte, the integrity of the cement sheath tends to be impaired during steam injection, a procedure necessary to increase oil recovery in reservoirs with low-viscosity oil. The geopolymer is a material that can be used as alternative cement, since it has been used in the production of fire-resistant components, building structures, and for the control of toxic or radioactive residues. Geopolymers result from condensation polymer alkali aluminosilicates and silicates resulting three-dimensional polymeric structures. They are produced in a manner different from that of Portland cement, which is made an activating solution that is mixed with geopolymer precursor. Among the few works studied allowed us to conclude that the pastes prepared with metakaolin as precursor showed better performance of its properties. Several studies show the addition of waste clay as a means of reducing cost and improving end of the folder properties. On this basis, the goal is to study the influence of the addition of ceramic waste in geopolymer paste. To develop the study of rheology tests were carried out, filtered, thickening time, compressive strength, free water, specific gravity and permeability, according to the American Pretoleum Institute (API). The results for all formulations studied show that the folders have high mechanical strength to a light paste; low filtrate volume, absence of free water, very low permeability, slurry, consistent with a light paste, and thickening time low that can be corrected with the use of a retardant handle. For morphological characterization, microstructural, physical, chemical and thermal tests were carried out by XRD, MEV, DTA, TG, FTIR. In the trial of XRD, it was found that geopolymer is an amorphous material, with a peak of crystalline kaolinite. In tests of TG / DTA, revealed the presence of a significant event, which represents the mass loss related to water, and also observed the reduction of weight loss by increasing the concentration of ceramic waste. In the trial of MEV, we found a uniform matrix without the presence of other phases. In the trial of FT-IR, we observed the presence of the band related to water. From all results it was determined that the optimum concentration range of use is between 2.5 and 5% of waste ceramic
