Atitudes dos pais perante a criança com febre

Enquadramento – A fobia da febre contínua a subsistir na atualidade, levando muitos pais a ficar ansiosos perante a febre no seu filho, refletindo-se em atitudes menos adequadas. Objetivos – Identificar se as variáveis sociodemográficas se repercutem nas atitudes dos pais/acompanhantes face à criança com febre; analisar se as variáveis contextuais da criança interferem nas atitudes dos pais/acompanhantes face à criança com febre; averiguar se as variáveis fontes de informação sobre a febre interferem nas atitudes dos pais/acompanhantes face à criança com febre. Material e Método – Estudo quantitativo, transversal, descritivo e correlacional. Recorreu-se ao questionário de caracterização sociodemográfica, variáveis clínicas, fontes de informação, conhecimento e atitudes perante a criança com febre. A amostra é do tipo não probabilística por conveniência, constituída por 360 pais/acompanhantes de crianças na consulta de Vigilância de Saúde Infantil e Juvenil. Resultados – Amostra é maioritariamente feminina (51.7%), sendo as mulheres, em média (M=34.78 anos .7.976 anos), mais velhas comparativamente aos homens. As principais fontes de informação sobre a febre foram o médico de família, o enfermeiro, os familiares e a experiência própria. O sexo, a idade, a zona de residência e as habilitações literárias são variáveis que interferem nas atitudes dos participantes perante a criança com febre. Existe uma probabilidade de 63.9% de atitudes não adequadas perante a criança com febre. Conclusão: Os resultados indicam que as atitudes da maioria dos pais/acompanhantes face à criança com febre são desadequadas. O que justifica que os pais/acompanhantes têm de ser mais esclarecidos, fazendo-se uma contextualização e desdramatização sobre o significado da febre, realçando aos pais a sua importância como mecanismo protetor do organismo no combate à infeção, alertando-os para os sinais de alarme que justificam a observação profissional atempada e para a adoção de atitudes adequadas. Palavras-chave: Febre; Criança; Pais; Atitudes.

Near Real-Time Detection Of Pipe Bursts in Water Distribution Systems

The research work presented in the thesis describes a new methodology for the automated near real-time detection of pipe bursts in Water Distribution Systems (WDSs). The methodology analyses the pressure/flow data gathered by means of SCADA systems in order to extract useful informations that go beyond the simple and usual monitoring type activities and/or regulatory reporting , enabling the water company to proactively manage the WDSs sections. The work has an interdisciplinary nature covering AI techniques and WDSs management processes such as data collection, manipulation and analysis for event detection. Indeed, the methodology makes use of (i) Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for the short-term forecasting of future pressure/flow signal values and (ii) Rule-based Model for bursts detection at sensor and district level. The results of applying the new methodology to a District Metered Area in Emilia- Romagna’s region, Italy have also been reported in the thesis. The results gathered illustrate how the methodology is capable to detect the aforementioned failure events in fast and reliable manner. The methodology guarantees the water companies to save water, energy, money and therefore enhance them to achieve higher levels of operational efficiency, a compliance with the current regulations and, last but not least, an improvement of customer service.

(Table 3) Textural and bulk mineralogy of Pliocene and Pleistocene sediments from ODP Hole 161-976B

The Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits recovered at Site 976 from the northwestern Alboran Sea at the Málaga base-of-slope include five main sedimentary facies: hemipelagic, turbidite, homogeneous gravity-flow, contourite, and debris-flow facies. The thickness and vertical distribution of these facies into lithostratigraphic Units I, II, and III show that the turbidites and hemipelagic facies are the dominant associations. The Pliocene and Pleistocene depositional history has been divided into three sedimentary stages: Stage I of early Pliocene age, in which hemipelagic and low-energy turbidites were the dominant processes; Stage II of early Pleistocene/late Pliocene age, in which the dominant processes were the turbidity currents interrupted by short episodes of other gravity flows (debris-flows and homogeneous gravity-flow facies) and bottom currents; and Stage III of Pleistocene age, in which both hemipelagic and low-energy gravity-flow processes occurred. The sedimentation during these three stages was controlled mainly by sea-level changes and also by the sediment supply that caused rapid terrigenous sedimentation variations from a proximal source represented by the Fuengirola Canyon.
