Processo de cuidar de um centro de tratamento oncológico

The objective was to understand the process of caring for a center for cancer treatment from the perspective of nurses and patients. This is a qualitative research, xploratory and descriptive, performed in a cancer treatment center in Natal / RN / Brazil. Data collection occurred between August 2013 and February 2014, being effected by means of two techniques: photographic record and projective interviews with nurses and patients. Social actors included in the study were ten professional nursing and ten patients admitted to the surgical department of the institution. The criteria used for inclusion of professionals were: be professional in the field of nursing, being an employee of the hospital, to be inserted in the scale of nurses of the institution at the time of data collection. For the patients were included who had preserved their cognitive abilities and who were hospitalized and at any stage of treatment. We used content analysis proposed by Bardin, for the analysis of material collected during projective interview. The research followed the ethical and legal principles that govern scientific research on human beings, being conducted by the project approval by the Research Ethics Committee of the Northern League Against Cancer Riograndense with 295 673 and look CAAE 16104313.0.0000.5293. Referring to nurses, they demonstrated different views about care, which sprouted from a holistic, multidisciplinary approach and welcoming, as well as linked to the performance of procedures and compliance with the requirements technicality. Furthermore, these subjects also showed that care unfolds through the actions of management in carrying out the records in the humanization of care by meeting the needs of the patient and ambience. Front of patients, it is noteworthy that, for them, care happens through attitudes of caring and professional approach, and by performing procedures, being mentioned as a careless lack of structure of the institution and the discomfort caused by this condition factors. It was evident also that the actors involved in the care, the perception of professionals and patients, are represented by nurses, doctors, psychologists, nutritionists, as well as kitchen assistants and cleaners; beyond family companion, the individual himself as responsible for their care and volunteer caregiver. In this opportunity, it is concluded 9 that an understanding of care from the perspective of nurses and patients involves broad issues ranging from perceptions of care that embraces a dynamic complex elements and attitudes imbued with meanings, in which those involved can assume both the role of carers as care beings, even a carefully tied to prescribed routines and performing procedures. Thus, the findings described refer to reflections on the care provided to cancer patients and whether this, in fact, translates principles of a humane practice

Processo de cuidar de crianças hospitalizadas com câncer

The objective was to understand the process of care in the perception of hospitalized children with cancer. This is a descriptive study of qualitative approach. Data were collected between the months of October 2013 and January 2014, through photographic records and semi-structured interview consisting of questions relating to the identification of age, sex, diagnosis and length of stay and a script of questions related to the recorded pictures. Eight children were included aged between six and twelve who were admitted to a pediatric oncology sector, located in the city of Natal / RN. The criteria used in the sample were: being hospitalized for cancer treatment; and present favorable physical conditions for carrying out the data collection. For the treatment of collected material was used content analysis, thematic modality. The study followed the ethical and legal principles governing scientific research with human beings and took place with the approval of the project by the Ethics and Research Committee of the Northern League Riograndense against Cancer, with opinion registered under number 329 015 and CAAE 16097613.9.0000.5293. According to the results it was found that, for the child, the care happens through technical activities, such as making procedures and the use of personal protective equipment, as well as through the dialogic relationship, which favors the establishment of confidence in care professional. Caring also means developing activities that promote well-being, the fun and the social and cognitive development, highlighting thus the playful, during hospitalization, as an auxiliary tool in the care process. During hospitalization, the child identifies two individuals responsible for their care, accompanying family and professional, and nursing professionals the most cited in moments of care. , Also of note, the promotion of care, in the perception of the child related to the infrastructure of the institution, environmental cleaning, personal hygiene, the medicalization and the food. It is concluded that care understood by the child, whilst still maintaining relations with the biomedical model, points to a new perspective that should consider the biological, social and psychological of acquiring cancer without unlink them of the development child. 9 Moreover, we see the child as an active social actor in this process, and therefore needs to be heard and answered their needs

Elaboração de material pré-composicional através de expansão de procedimentos do sistema Schillinger de composição musical

The work aims at investigating possibilities of extending compositional procedures, based on the Schillinger System of Musical Composition (SSMC). I start by elaborating a brief historical review on SSMC, which is followed by a critical review of the System. The work includes a state of the art on the research on this topic, performed upon analysis of the current work conducted by a research group from the UFRN Music School from which I also make part. The main line of the research is to elaborate on the suggestion of extending the SSMC concept of place of attack to the idea of place of instrumentation, through developing a binary instrumentation procedure. The experimentation on the thesis‟ hypothesis is presented in my composition titled “Suíte Grega” (Greek Suite), a compositional memoir for Oboe, Saxophone and 3 Cellos.

O registro de procedimentos metodológicos em projetos de intervenção arquitetônica no patrimônio edificado: o caso de Natal-RN

In the midst of growing preservationist awareness, regarding methods of architectural intervention of buildings with a recognized heritage value, there are numerous approaches on how the original heritage value can be protected. However, can these intervention projects be differentiated? Is it possible to identify how they differ (if in fact they do) from an architectural project not related to preservation? Although there are numerous theoretical studies regarding methods utilized in architectonical projects, there appear to be a lack of studies focused on an architectural intervention exclusively focused on areas or edifications that have a recognized heritage value, thereby requiring a reflection on which methodological procedures in an architectonical project serve the purpose of the preservation of the historical aspects. This discussion is of even greater importance because, at the national level, some recent discussions on this type of architectural design seem arbitrary and lack methodological rigor. Therefore, this research attempts to focus equally on the theoretical-methodological practices of preservation as well as the architectural project methods. In an attempt to address these aspects, the focus of this research centers on the case studies of the intervention projects of the maritime passenger terminal of Natal (Terminal Marítimo de Passageriros de Natal), the old government hall (Palacio do Governo - EDTAM) and the old central hotel (Hotel Central) which are situated in the area known as the historic downtown of the city of Natal, within the federal heritage protection polygon. The analyses of these is intended to identify what methodological procedures were recorded in the final product (in the graphical representation of the architectural design and other documents) delivered to IPHAN / RN, the body responsible for review and approval of these architectural projects, noting whether such procedures appear, in some way, in the final product, and if an understanding of the complexity of preservation is evident. The analyses of these projects corroborate the hypothesis that there are unique characteristics, which must be addressed in the intervention project for preservation when compared to new project design. The main characteristic to be addressed is related to the very nature of the project. It is inherent in the dialectical relationship between the need to preserve (the identified heritage values) and the need to modernize (making adaptations to contemporary life). This relationship, denominated in this dissertation as "radical restraint", must, or at least should, guide the actions in the project as well as the technical analyses of the preservationist organization. However, this radical restriction appears more evident in the guidelines put forth by legislators than in the decisions of designers. These legislators require the presentation of documents, aimed at identifying and contextualizing intervention (Ordinance No. 420 of December 22, 2010), that grant (or should grant) assistance in the decision making process. It was evident in the analyses of these documents that there existed a disconnect between the documents produced and the decisions made in the project. This fact can be seen in the total absence of dialogue about theoretical-methodological preservationist principles, which, in our view, is an essential element of the methodological procedures of the intervention project needed to guide the legislative and project design discussions.

Avaliação da potencialidade de incorporação de um lodo de uma indústria de produtos de limpeza como adição mineral em concretos de cimento Portland

The generation of industrial wastes has been increased more and more in recent decades, motivating studies about a correct sustainable allocation and that also represents advantages for their generators. In this context, are included two companies of cleaning products niche, located in São José do Mipibu/RN, that produces industrial sludge at a sewage treatment plant, and that is the main approach of this research. Given this, it was studied the incorporation potentiality of this sludge as a mineral addition in cement matrix for concrete production due it high capacity of wastes immobilization inside this material, which are subsequently used in the company for making precast articles. Were added different sludge concentrations (5, 10, 15 and 20%) in a common trait (1: 2: 3), and evaluated their techniques and microstructural implications via workability test in fresh state and compressive strength, full porosity and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in the hardened state. The results demonstrated the feasibility of the process both from a technical and environmental view as economical. All concretes produced with residue showed an increase of workability given the nature of the waste that had surfactants substances capable of adsorbing tiny particles of air into the batter. However, for all concentrations were obtained lower compressive resistances than standard concrete, with a reduction of 39% for samples with 20% of sludge. This are attributed mainly to an increase of porosity in the transition zone of these material, resulting from increased formation of ettringite at the detriment to the formation of other compounds, but which still allows the use of these for the manufacture of concrete articles with non-structural nature, such as precast floor. In addition, the water absorption and void ratio increased slightly for all samples, except the concrete with 20% of waste that has a reduction for the last parameter. Given this context, the recommended maximum level is 20%, constituting a significant proportion and able to allocate sustainably all waste generated in the industry.

Procedimentos legais e protocolos sobre a sistemática de aquisição de cadáveres na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte para o ensino de anatomia humana

A disponibilidade de cadáveres para estudo e pesquisa vinha sendo feita tradicionalmenteutilizando-se corpos não reclamados sem grandes formalidades. Com a complexidadejurídica, social, ética e moral dos tempos atuais, o simples encaminhamento dessescorpos ao Departamento de Morfologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte,passou a ser temido com o receio de transgredir a legislação penal. Isso desencadeouuma redução no número de cadáveres para as aulas práticas de Anatomia. Essarealidade levou o Departamento de Morfologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande doNorte a pesquisar mecanismos legais que solucionassem a escassez de cadáveres parao estudo e pesquisa. A metodologia utilizada constou de reuniões de discussão eapresentação de protocolos de aquisição de cadáveres com base na legislação vigente.Os resultados obtidos foram: (1) Publicação do provimento 093/2012 da CorregedoriaGeral da Justiça do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, que dispõesobre o registro de óbito dos cadáveres destinados às escolas de Medicina para fins deensino e pesquisa; (2) Elaboração de protocolos para aquisição de cadáveres nãoreclamados junto às instituições; (3) Programa de doadores voluntários na UniversidadeFederal do Rio Grande do Norte.Por fim, concluímos que o conhecimento das atribuiçõespor parte das instituições públicas e privada, bem como o programa de doação voluntáriaaumentaram a oferta de cadáveres para o ensino da Anatomia Humana na UniversidadeFederal do Rio Grande do Norte.

Conduções cênicas: A “Açon” e o movimento através dos princípios e procedimentos metodológicos de Gilles Gwizdek

The research identifies and describes the principles and methodological procedures of the director Gilles Gaetan Gwizdek on the transposition of the dramatic text to the space of representation through action and movement. Besides that, it presents the results of the experiment in two different labor camps and conducting modes: the no-actor student, inserted into the basic education, and the actor-student, inserted in higher education. Through the scenic paths encountered by the director, the individuals were could find their own ways and verify, through the scenic conductions, how such methodological procedures can achieve a pedagogical thinking about the actor's work. As theoretical referential, were studied the artists-educators: Jacques Copeau, in what sensitizes to the use of dramatic text, and Jacques Lecoq, it approaches of the physical use of the actor's body to the theater. The concepts about theater of the scholars in theater: Constantin Stanislavski, Eugênio Barba, Meyerhold, Eugênio Kusnet, Bertold Brecht go through the theoretical revisions of the thinkers: Odete Aslan, Patrice Pavis, Ney Piacentini, Lúcia Romano, Flávio Desgranges e Anne Bogart, in what affects their practical experiences and conceptual about the text, the action and the movement. It was analyzed also the practical experience based on the principles and methodological procedures of Gilles director, in rehearsals and performances of students in the ninth grade of the primary school the Basic School of the Federal University of Uberlândia - ESEBA, as also, of the students of the sixth, seventh and eighth period, of the Theater Graduation in the same university. From this analysis, it was proposed an interrelation between the theoretical and practical works, done by reading of the artists-educators about movement and Gilles Gwizdek in his work process. The research suggests that, from the movement, the student can build autonomously a character through the experience of small movements of the body. Thus, this student would increase his relationship between stage and audience, and consequently, he would cause a possible state of "seduction" of the spectator to the spectacle.

Melhoria de procedimentos internos no laboratório do Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e do Porto, I.P.

Este relatório foi elaborado no âmbito do estágio curricular realizado na Direção de Serviços Técnicos e de Certificação do Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e do Porto, I.P. Teve como principal objetivo apresentar propostas de alteração de procedimentos internos do laboratório do Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e do Porto, I.P., no sentido de reduzir o tempo de resposta às solicitações, procurando uma melhor rentabilização tanto de equipamentos como de recursos humanos. Para atingir tal objetivo, foi elaborado o diagnóstico da situação, com base na informação recolhida na Direção de Serviços Técnicos e de Certificação, incluindo os dados fornecidos pelo software GLAB que dá apoio às operações realizadas no laboratório do Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e do Porto. Além disso, foi efetuado o acompanhamento do circuito das amostras de produtos vínicos desde a sua receção, à análise nos setores do laboratório e posterior validação dos resultados. Dado que o estudo da entrada de amostras no setor Análise Mineral foi maioritariamente inconclusivo, apurou-se o custo por análise na determinação do chumbo e, ainda, foi realizada uma simulação determinar a despesa necessária para reduzir o número de amostras analisadas de cada vez que se liga o equipamento. Foi ainda comparado o custo da determinação do parâmetro furfural, análise que tanto pode ser realizada no setor Cromatografia Gasosa como no setor Cromatografia Líquida. Para isso, foram utlizados vários testes estatísticos. Com base na avaliação efetuada foram identificadas e propostas as seguintes oportunidades de melhoria: - Automação de uma das atividades realizadas no setor Físico-Química I, atividade esta necessária à preparação das análises; - Contrabalançar a sazonalidade verificada na receção de amostras dos clientes com as amostras provenientes da Direção de Serviços de Fiscalização e Controlo; - Inserção de algumas variáveis no software GLAB. É de realçar que a proposta referente à automação de uma das atividades realizadas no setor Físico-Química foi implementada pelo IVDP. Foram, também, identificadas propostas de futuras investigações.

Sistemas auxiliares de desinfeção em Endodontia

Introdução: O objetivo da terapia endodôntica é eliminar a infeção presente nos canais radiculares e prevenir a reinfeção dos mesmos, criando assim as condições para a manutenção da peça dentária em função e livre de patologia pulpar ou peri-apical. A complexa anatomia dos canais faz com que seja impossível uma limpeza completa dos mesmos. Para se conseguir um bom resultado clínico é de extrema importância utilizarmos técnicas e procedimentos que visem uma utilização combinada de instrumentação mecânica e desinfeção com soluções de irrigação. Objetivo: Revisão bibliográfica sobre sistemas auxiliares de desinfeção em Endodontia, abordando as suas principais vantagens e limitações e apresentando estudos que provam a sua importância para o sucesso do tratamento endodôntico. Materiais e métodos: Realizou-se uma pesquisa eletrónica nos principais motores de busca online tais como PubMed, B-On, Scielo e Science Direct e em livros científicos sobre a temática, utilizando palavras-chave em inglês tais como “irrigation techniques”, “sonic irrigation”, “EndoVac”, “EDTA”, “hypoclorite sodium”, “passive ultrasonic irrigation”, “apical negative pressure irrigation”, “root canal irrigation”, “EndoAtivator”, e ainda alguns termos em português tais como “insucesso em endodontia”, “hipoclorito de sódio” “ácido cítrico” e “irrigação sónica e ultrasónica”. Da pesquisa efectuada entre Junho e Novembro de 2015 e cujo critério de inclusão foram artigos datados de 2001 a 2015, escolheu-se 65 artigos em inglês, 4 em português e 1 em espanhol, dos quais se utilizaram 44 artigos. Além dos artigos analisou-se 2 livros, dos quais se utilizou 1. Resultados: Os artigos analisados apresentam como principais resultados que a combinação de instrumentação mecânica e a irrigação reduz mas não elimina totalmente as bactérias. Até à data não existem soluções de irrigação ideais. Têm-se desenvolvido técnicas capazes de combater as dificuldades encontradas e aumentar as potencialidades da irrigação, cada uma apresentando suas vantagens e desvantagens. Dos resultados constatados, a literatura científica aparenta reconhecer o Sistema EndoVac como o melhor em termos de biossegurança e o sistema de irrigação ultrasónica passiva como o melhor em termos de desinfecção e limpeza. Conclusão: Uma combinação de soluções com uma sequência específica é aparentemente necessária para atingir o sucesso endodôntico, bem como uma escolha adequada da técnica. As novas técnicas desenvolvidas tais como a ativação dinâmica manual, irrigação ultrasónica passiva, ativação sónica e sistemas de pressão apical negativa apresentam melhores resultados quando associados a irrigantes adequados como o hipoclorito, EDTA, ácido cítrico, clorohexidina e álcool. No entanto, concluiu-se que mais investigação é necessária para melhorar o sucesso do tratamento endodôntico não-cirúrgico.

Exposição ocupacional a bioaerossóis durante atividades de limpeza de quartos de hotel

O presente estudo pretende avaliar a exposição ocupacional a contaminação fúngica e bacteriana em quartos de hotel, mais precisamente em dois quartos com características diferentes, nomeadamente, com pavimento em alcatifa e outro sem alcatifa. Doze amostras de ar de 250L foram colhidas pelo método de impacto, em meio agar de extracto de malte (MEA) suplementado com cloranfenicol (0,05%) para fungos e em meio de TSA (agar de soja tríptica) com nistatina (0,2%) para bactérias. Foram também realizadas amostras de superfície nos mesmos locais. Em ambos os quartos apenas uma amostra de ar, no quarto sem alcatifa, apresentou contagens de fungos mais elevadas do que no exterior. No entanto, as concentrações de bactérias no ar interior foram superiores às do ar exterior. Em relação às superfícies, o quarto sem alcatifa apresentou diferenças estatisticamente significativas em relação ao quarto com alcatifa, sendo que o primeiro apresentou concentrações mais elevadas de fungos. Todas as superfícies analisadas apresentaram contaminação bacteriana, mas não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os quartos. Os géneros de fungos mais prevalentes no ar foram idênticos em ambos os quartos (Penicillium sp. 40,7% - 12,3% e Cladosporium sp. 43,5% - 55,4%). Nas superfícies analisadas, os isolados pertencentes ao complexo Aspergillus fumigatus foram os únicos encontrados no quarto com alcatifa, enquanto no outro quarto os géneros mais prevalentes foram Penicillium sp. (63,6%) e Aspergillus sp. (13,6%).
