Morbidades e consumo de álcool em pacientes internados na Clínica Médica de um hospital universitário

Abusive consumption of alcohol leads to several negative consequences to health and quality of life, as it increases the frequency of diseases that cause death or functional disabilities. The rates of patients admitted to hospital due to physical problems stemming from alcohol abuse are high. This study aimed at identifying patients according to variables age, gender and education level as well as at evaluating the prevalence of CAGE-positive patients and morbidity due to CID-10 (International Classification of Diseases) by the World Health Organization. It is a cross-sectional, observational, exploratory, descriptive and quantitative study. It was conducted at the Botucatu School of Medicine University Hospital (HC) from July to September 2010, at the Internal Medicine ward. This ward aggregates 5 specialties, namely, Cardiology, Hematology, General Medicine, Nephrology and Gastroclinic. Presently, it has 36 beds, of which four are for Intensive Care Therapy (ICT). Three hundred and ten medical charts were analyzed for identification of morbidities and of variables age, gender and schooling. A closed semistructured questionnaire including, among other questions, the CAGE test was applied to each individual. The CAGE test is a questionnaire that comprises four questions and considers that one who answers two or more of such questions affirmatively is a suspected case of alcoholism. The total population studied included 310 patients. Indexes of 60% (186) male and of 40% (124) female patients were found. As regards age range, a population with a higher prevalence of individuals from 51 to 70 years old (41%) was observed. The main education indexes were: incomplete Elementary School: 23.22% (72), complete Elementary School: 21.61% (67), incomplete Secondary School: 18.40% (57) and Illiteracy: 17.74% (55).

Proposta de estruturação do departamento de custos de uma empresa de construção civil de médio porte

This work consists of a literature review of technical project management with a focus on cost management in order to establish concepts and build a theoretical basis for later perform a case study of a construction company. All of the literature review is based on best practices in project management from the Project Management Institute - PMI, among other bibliographies that use the same concepts. The case study covers issues such as area of expertise, constructions undertaken, methodologies, procedures, assumptions, allowing to understand how the company operates in the market and, especially, which interfaces with the cost department in company processes. Confronting the knowledge gained from the literature review of the concepts of PMI and the information obtained from the case study on the current situation of the management costs of the company, it was possible to identify some gaps in the company processes of cost management and thus propose the solution of creating a centralized functional area focused on cost, that is responsible for ensuring that best practices in project management, specifically costs, are being applied

Proposta para planejamento da arborização viária do bairro do Alvinópolis, município de Atibaia - SP

The urban arborization planning must consider technical criteria, to avoid future conflicts between trees and the urban space, and sociocultural criteria, to satisfy the local population necessities. Considering this principle, the present work proposes an arborization plan for a pilot area enclosing three of the principal streets from Alvinopolis District, county of Atibaia – SP. In order to tackle this objective, requests of tree removal were analyzed to get a panorama of how the subject takes place in the county. After that, promising sites for tree planting were selected in the enclosing area, and urban arborization of the three (3) main streets were retake, proposing necessary substitutions. Finally, 238 residents all over Alvinopolis County have been interviewed, with the objective of appraising their subject sense and focus on environmental education. Then three maps were made: the first one representing characteristics that influence in arborization, the second representing the present arborization and the nine (9) necessary substitutions, and the third representing the plan for the arborization of the pilot area. From the interviewed people, 79% shown themselves favorable to urban arborization, otherwise it does not discard the necessity to inform population about adequate species, county laws and adequate handling of trees.

Estratégias de enfrentamento de problemas em jovens atletas: um estudo através do EMEP

The study aimed to analyze coping strategies used by Young soccer athletes during the competition period. 172 male soccer athletes of 8 teams participating in Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior 2013, aged between 15 and 20 years old, most of high school education took part in the study. As instrument it was used the Brazilian version of the Ways of Coping Scale. Therefore, a contact was made with teams, where they had permission or not to apply and then day and time were scheduled to data collection, this was made in order to preserve the teams performance. Given that, most of the data were collected during the rest period of the teams, that is, when there was a long interval between one match and another. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and frequency through the program Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17.0 for Windows. The collected data suggests that most athletes use the coping strategy problem-focused, because it had the highest average, while emotion-focused coping strategy was the factor with lowest average. The results indicate that athletes have a higher emotional control and aiming to solving the stressful situation at the own problem

Estudo etnobiológico da interação dos pescadores de cerco-fixo com as tartarugas marinhas da região de Cananéia, litoral sul de São Paulo

Marine turtles are reptiles that occur on the Brazilian coast and can travel very large distances between feeding and nesting grounds. Five species found in Brazil are threatened. The consumption of turtle meat and eggs is an ancient habit in many coastal communities around the world. The main causes that threaten these species are the increase in fishing and the drastic changes in the environment. The presence of turtles near the beaches and their accidental capture were reported by fishermen in the region of Cananéia, where this work was developed. This study was also made based in interviews of fishermen that living in the area and the follow up of their fishing activities. This methodology made possible to identify the turtles in the area, the behavior of the fishermen with these animals and the relation between non-commercial fishing and turtles. The fishing traps area has a direct relation with the capture of turtles. The higher incidence of turtle capture is usually next to islands, rocky coasts, low lands and bay entrances, which are areas where the most common species of the region (Chelonia mydas) normally look for food. The fishermen opinions about the critical situation of these species and their conservation has also been studied. Several programs in Environmental Education for the communities of the region have been recommended

A posição do sujeito nos anúncios da revista A Cigarra

La pertinence de ce travail réside dans le fait qu'il y a aussi une étude sur la position du sujet dans la période especifié, entre les années 1914 à 1924. Il faut se rappeler que ces études visent à trouver des explications pour les changements qui se produisent réellement dans la langue. A cet effet, l'analyse de la variation est essentiel, car un changement survient dans une situation de changement. Les recherches dans le Variação e Mudança Linguística exigent que le chercheur soit conscient des changements brusques qui peuvent survenir tout au long de votre projet. Cela signifie que de traiter directement avec un phénomène variable, tout incident qui se produit les causes ne changera pas le résultat final de la recherche. Après l'analyse des résultats a permis de conclure que la position de l'objet varie avec le verbe utilisé dans la phrase. Par ailleurs, il est intéressant de noter que peu de données ont été analysés, ce qui signifie pour confirmer un changement de la langue aurait besoin d'un plus grand nombre de données et de comparer nos résultats avec les études de phases antérieures de la langue

Perfil materno e dos recém-nascidos nascidos vivos na primeira década do século XXI em município do interior paulista com ênfase na prematuridade

The concern with infant mortality has been a priority in public policies, especially for Brazil to achieve the Millennium Development Goal number four: reducing child mortality by 75% by the year 2015. It is known that prematurity has an intimate relationship with mortality of children under one year and therefore it is necessary an effective intervention in risk factors linked to premature births. To evaluate the profile of mothers and newborn babies living in Botucatu-SP, in the period 2001 to 2009, focusing on prematurity. A quantitative study, retrospective, descriptive, epidemiological, from the Information System Newborn Alive. The prevalence of preterm births was 15.1%, and low birth weight 14.7%. Among infants, the Apgar score below 7 at 1 and at 5 minutes was 13.1% and 2.4% respectively. Considering the total of pregnant women studied, 20.3% were adolescents and 10.3% were aged 35 years or more and most (63.2%) had eight or more years of school approval. The profile of mothers of premature infants shows that 23.6% were teenagers, 14.1% had at least 35 years and 60.4% had at least primary education. With regard to premature deliveries, caesarean sections and 58.4% were between the total newborns, this type of delivery was achieved in 46.6% of cases. Prematurity was associated with an Apgar score below seven in the first and fifth minutes of life, presence of malformation and multiple pregnancy. Among maternal variables, prematurity was associated with extremes of maternal age, maternal education, history of stillbirth, primiparas, white and presence of the mother's partner. With regard to delivery was associated with cesarean section and outside the hospital. This study assessed maternal characteristics associated with prematurity and point out how relevant the pregnancies at the extremes of age and those that occur in women with low education level, indicating the interference...

Conhecendo a história oculta das coisas. Em busca de um consumo responsável: cartilha de base para iniciativas educacionais formais e informais

A sociedade contemporânea presencia um momento mundial bastante crítico, no qual se faz presente uma crise sócio-ambiental que tende a se agravar a cada dia devido à exploração e distribuição de recursos naturais inadequadas. Na busca de um modelo que torne viável a sobrevivência das futuras gerações de todas as espécies viventes, faz-se necessária uma alteração do paradigma antropocêntrico vigente, para um paradigma biocêntrico, comprometido com todas as formas de vida do planeta. A mudança dos padrões consumistas presentes no sistema capitalista para padrões permeados pelo consumo sustentável torna-se base essencial para esta mudança de paradigmas. Em tal processo de transição, a educação aparece como uma importante ferramenta para a formação de indivíduos conscientes, criativos e portadores de senso crítico, enfim, indivíduos mais capazes de promover as mudanças de padrões necessárias. Surge então a necessidade de uma educação inovadora, que promova a formação de cidadãos conscientes e atuantes. A partir dessas necessidades, surge o trabalho aqui exposto, com o objetivo de proporcionar uma cartilha de base para iniciativas educacionais voltadas ao consumo responsável.

Expressão de SmNPP5a de Schistosoma mansoni em Pichia pastoris

A esquistossomose é causada pelo Schistosoma mansoni e é considerada uma importante doença parasitária que afeta mais de 200 milhões de pessoas em países em desenvolvimento. Estima-se ainda que aproximadamente 600 milhões de pessoas vivam em áreas de risco e que o número de mortes por ano devido a esta parasitose chegue a 200.000. O tratamento existente hoje é eficiente, mas não previne contra re-infecção e contra as formas jovens dos parasitas. O desenvolvimento de uma vacina utilizando antígenos do parasita produzidos de modo recombinantes é o anseio para o controle da esquistossomose. A fosfodiesterase-5 (SmNPP-5a) é uma enzima presente na interface parasita-hospedeiro e acessível ao sistema imune, sendo portanto considerada um potencial candidato vacinal, sua avaliação se faz necessária. A obtenção de uma SmNPP-5a recombinante enzimaticamente ativa é um passo fundamental no processo de avaliação da sua capacidade protetora e determinação da sua função fisiológica para o parasita. Utilizando o sistema de expressão baseados em leveduras metilotróficas, Pichia pastoris, a proteína recombinante pode ser expressa com as modificações pós traducionais necessárias para ter sua estrutura original mantida, característica fundamental para se obter uma proteína enzimáticamente ativa. Para clonagem e expressão da proteína recombinante utilizamos o vetor pPICZαA, pois este possui um sistema de expressão baseado no promotor álcool oxidase (AOX1 e AOX2). Ele possui ainda, a capacidade de adicionar um peptídeo sinal e uma cauda de histidina, com objetivo de secretar a proteína expressa e facilitar sua purificação, respectivamente. A triagem e confirmação dos clones positivos foram feitas por PCR. A análise das amostras de sobrenadantes coletadas com 24, 48 e 72h de estímulo com metanol foi feita por SDS-PAGE e Western blot para verificação da expressão...

Determinação dos esforços em lajes pelo métodos dos elementos de contorno

Through deductions and formulations of the equations governing the behavior of plates elastic and thin based Kirchhoff theory, it is evident that it is justifiable to the complication of the numerical methods considering the complexity of the equations that describe the physical behavior of these elements and obtaining analytical solutions for specific situations. This study is directed to the application of the numerical method which is based on discretizations to the simplest elements which results in the reduction of data to be processed from. The numerical method in question is the Boundary Element Methods (BEM), as the name suggests, the discretizations are only the edges of the elements. The BEM converts the complex integral equations, in sums of functions that reduce the unknowns at the nodes that define the ends of discrete elements, obtaining internal values to elements using interpolation functions. Confirming the need and usefulness of the BEM, apply, then the foundations necessary to the specific cases of Civil Engineering where traditional methods do not provide the desired support, leaving in question the security situations and economics of the projects

Recuperação de áreas degradadas por erosão hídrica em propriedades produtoras de café nos municípios de Getulina e Vera Cruz - SP

The Paulista West region has suffered through the decades an intense process of deforestation when substituting native areas of Atlantic rainforest and Cerrado by agricultural cultivation, mainly coffee in the 20th century. This occupation process without planning and management of the soil resulted in serious erosion problems. Besides, the soil erosion promoted the reduction of agricultural production and the silting of rivers. This paper aims identify the factors of natural scope (geological, geomorphologic and pedologic characteristics) which participate in unleash of erosion process in two agricultural properties producers of coffee in order to apply mechanical techniques of recovery in erosive focuses of furrow and ravine kinds. One of the properties is at the city council of Getulina, located on the sandstones of Adamantina Formation; the other is at the city council of Vera Cruz, located on the sandstones of Marília Formation. However, taking into consideration the analysis of the natural dynamics, they are not enough to explain the complexity of the phenomena which are processed in the geographic space. It made indispensable the incorporation of socio-economic factors, such as the use and occupation process of the soil considering the society as landscape transformers. In order to better understand the importance of each one of the elements that contributes to the unleash of the studied erosions, it was collected soil samples in the areas, general descriptions and texture and morphologic analysis. Finally, it was elaborated the maps of the use and occupation of the soil and the vegetal coverage surrounding the properties studied. It was observed in the rural property of Getulina the substitution of the coffee by pasture that finds degraded. It, in addition to the cattle stomp, which changed the texture and density characteristics among the soil horizons, and the concentration of superficial water flow intensified the occurrence of ...
