Treinamento e desenvolvimento de pessoas e a nova gest��o p��blica : o caso do projeto Forma����o de tecn��logos em gest��o p��blica do governo do Rio Grande do Norte

This thesis aims to identify how civil servants perceive changes made inthe carrying out of their work after their taking part in the Course forTechnicians in Public Management of the Government of Rio Grande do NorteState. As for the methodological procedures, an exploratory-descriptivequantitative research has been carried out through structured questionnaires appliedto 118 civil servants from the first groups of the Course for Technicians, thusshowing a margin of error of 4.18% to 95% of confidence, according to theprocedures of finite sampling. The table processing and analysis rested uponthe Statistical Package for the Social Sciences SPSS and was carried outthrough univariate, bivariate and multivariate techniques with emphasis on thetechnique called Factor Analysis. It was possible to identify that the level ofsatisfaction of the students was high and there was a clear perception by themthat the course assisted to changes in their work. Through Factor Analysis itwas verified that the factors that may be related to changes in the work of thecivil servants are "Contribution to Society", "Efficiency andEfficacy in the Work Environment", "Applicability of Contents"and "Capacitating for Leadership". The conclusion of the studyindicates that the factors obtained are directly related to the basis of thenew public management by means of guidance toward efficiency and efficacy in aperspective of leadership, the contents of the course being thus made into newattitudes toward work which end up yielding better results for society

Implementa����o de software livre na administra����o p��blica: um estudo de m��ltiplos casos no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte

New technologies appear each moment and its use can result in countless benefits for that they directly use and for all the society as well. In this direction, the State also can use the technologies of the information and communication to improve the level of rendering of services to the citizens, to give more quality of life to the society and to optimize the public expense, centering it in the main necessities. For this, it has many research on politics of Electronic Government (e-Gov) and its main effect for the citizen and the society as a whole. This research studies the concept of Electronic Government and wishes to understand the process of implementation of Free Softwares in the agencies of the Direct Administration in the Rio Grande do Norte. Moreover, it deepens the analysis to identify if its implantation results in reduction of cost for the state treasury and intends to identify the Free Software participation in the Administration and the bases of the politics of Electronic Government in this State. Through qualitative interviews with technologies coordinators and managers in 3 State Secretaries it could be raised the ways that come being trod for the Government in order to endow the State with technological capacity. It was perceived that the Rio Grande do Norte still is an immature State in relation to practical of electronic government (e-Gov) and with Free Softwares, where few agencies have factual and viable initiatives in this area. It still lacks of a strategical definition of the paper of Technology and more investments in infrastructure of staff and equipment. One also observed advances as the creation of the normative agency, the CETIC (State Advice of Technology of the Information and Communication), the Managing Plan of Technology that provide a necessary diagnosis with the situation how much Technology in the State and considered diverse goals for the area, the accomplishment of a course of after-graduation for managers of Technology and the training in BrOffice (OppenOffice) for 1120 public servers

O ator que canta um conto: a manipula����o de par��metros musicais na voz do ator

This research started with an investigation about the theatrical speaking. Through an empirical methodology that analyzed a practical experience of creating a play and bibliographical research, the actress/researcher investigated ways to manipulate musical parameters as tools in the creation process of the actor s voice. The actress/researcher attempted to connect theory and practice, moved by the desire to find a vocal expression in theater that unfolds as living and transforming movement. This dissertation also contains the report of pedagogical experiences, in which the actress/researcher explored strategies to teach the appropriation of musical parameters in the construction of the vocal work of the actor. Considering that speaking in theater is closer to singing than everyday speech, she concluded that the actor may compose music as a music composer does in the elaborating process of building vocal scores. Therefore, she demonstrated that it is of fundamental importance a musical training in the development of the actor.

Simulador radiogr��fico antropom��rfico de mama humana

Mammography is a diagnostic imaging method in which interpretation depends on knowledge of radiological aspects as well as the clinical exam and pathophysiology of breast diseases. In this work a mammography phantom was developed to be used for training in the operation of mammographic x-ray equipment, image quality evaluation, self-examination and clinical examination of palpation. Polyurethane was used for the production of the phantoms for its physical and chemical properties and because it is one of the components normally used in prostheses. According to the range of flexibility of the polyurethane, it was possible to simulate breasts with higher or lower amount of adipose tissue. Pathologies such as areolar necrosis and tissue rejection due to surgery reconstruction after partial mastectomy were also simulated. Calcifications and nodules were simulated using the following materials: polyethylene, poly (methyl methacrylate), polyamide, polyurethane and poly (dimethyl silicone). Among these, polyethylene was able to simulate characteristics of calcification as well as breast nodules. The results from mammographic techniques used in this paper for the evaluation of the phantoms are in agreement with data found in the literature. The image analyses of four phantoms indicated significant similarities with the human skin texture and the female breast parenchyma. It was possible to detect in the radiographic images produced regions of high and low radiographic optical density, which are characteristic of breasts with regions of different amount of adipose tissue. The stiffnesses of breast phantoms were adjusted according to the formulation of the polyurethane which enabled the production of phantoms with distinct radiographic features and texture similar to human female breast parenchyma. Clinical palpation exam of the phantoms developed in this work indicated characteristics similar to human breast in skin texture, areolar region and parenchyma

Distribui����o regional da ventila����o pulmonar em indiv��duos com insufici��ncia card��aca cr��nica ap��s serem submetidos a um programa de treinamento da musculatura inspirat��ria e sua correla����o com dados funcionais

Introduction: Chagas Disease is a serious public health problem, with 5 million infected individuals in Brazil. Of these, approximately 30% develop chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC), where the main symptoms are fatigue and dyspnea. Objective: To correlate maximal exercise capacity with pulmonary function, inspiratory muscle strength and quality of life in patients with CCC. Methodology: Twelve individuals suffering from CCC were evaluated (7 men), with a mean age of 54.91�� 8.60 years and the following inclusion criteria: functional class II and III according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA); left ventricle ejection fraction below 45%; clinical stability (> 3 months); symptom duration > 1 year, body mass index (BMI) < 35Kg/m2 and non-smokers or ex-smokers with a history of smoking <10 packs/day. All subjects were submitted to spirometry, manometer testing, maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) and a quality of life questionnaire (Minnesota). Results: A negative correlation was observed between VO2m��x and MLHFQ scores (r=-0.626; p=0.03) and a positive association with MIP (r=0.713; p=0.009). Positive correlations were also recorded between MIP and spirometric variables [FEV1(r=0.825;p=0.001 ), FVC(r=0.66;p=0.01 and FEF25-75%(r=0.639;p=0.02)]. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that in patients with CCC: VO2MAX is directly related to inspiratory muscle strength and quality of life, while deteriorating lung function is directly associated with respiratory muscle weakness

An��lise do ��xido n��trico, perfil lip��dico, resist��ncia arterial e capacidade funcional de idosas submetidas a um treinamento aqu��tico

A pr��tica regular de exerc��cio f��sico possibilita redu����o dos efeitos das disfun����es hormonais e envelhecimento biol��gico natural que promovem desajustes hemodin��micos, vasculares e m��sculo-esquel��ticos, principalmente na popula����o feminina no per��odo p��s-menopausa. Nesta fase da vida, o exerc��cio aqu��tico representa mais do que uma forma de ajuste funcional, �� uma forma de manuten����o de independ��ncia para as atividades da vida di��ria (AVD s) e melhoria na qualidade de vida. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as modifica����es adquiridas pela pr��tica regular de um programa de exerc��cio aqu��tico concorrente de intensidade moderada no n��vel de ��xido n��trico (ON), no ��ndice de resistividade arterial (IR), no perfil lip��dico, na capacidade funcional e na qualidade de vida de idosas. A amostra foi formada por idosas (60 a 80 anos) selecionadas por randomiza����o, por sorteio simples divididas em grupo controle e grupo de interven����o as quais foram submetidas a um programa de exerc��cios aqu��ticos proposto inicialmente em projeto piloto, por 12 semanas (n=34) e o ensaio cl��nico teve dura����o de 16 semanas (n=40). Foi coletada amostra sangu��nea das idosas e avaliado o perfil lip��dico pelo m��todo enzim��tico com kit Labtest e o ON por medida indireta a partir da concentra����o de nitrito no sobrenadante das c��lulas em cultura em leitor de ELISA. A avalia����o das art��rias car��tidas e vertebrais foi feita utilizando o m��todo de ultra-som Doopler. A capacidade funcional foi avaliada por quatro testes que simulam atividades da vida di��ria que s��o: caminhar 10 metros (C10m), levantar da posi����o sentada (LPS), levantar da cadeira e locomover-se pela casa (LCLC) e o de levantar-se da posi����o dec��bito ventral (LPDV). No estudo piloto foi avaliado o ��ndice geral de autonomia funcional (IG) e a qualidade de vida atrav��s do question��rio WHOQOL-100. Empregou-se a an��lise de vari��ncia (ANOVA) com medidas repetidas nos fatores grupo (GH e GC) e tempo (pr�� e p��s-teste) para as compara����es intra e intergrupos nas vari��veis seguida do post hoc de Scheff��. Utilizou-se o teste de correla����o de Pearson e adotado o valor de p<0,05 para a signific��ncia estat��stica. Houve aumento do ON circulante, redu����o nos ��ndices de resistividade arterial, melhoria significativa nos n��veis de colesterol e triglic��rides e ganho na capacidade funcional das idosas ap��s a interven����o. Existiu correla����o inversa entre a resistividade da art��ria vertebral direita (VERTD) e n��veis de ON e entre a VERTD e os n��veis plasm��ticos de HDL, assim como entre estes e o teste C10m nas idosas em estudo. N��o houve modifica����es significativas na qualidade de vida das idosas. Em conclus��o, o programa de exerc��cio proposto foi capaz de oferecer melhorias funcionais, aumentar o n��vel de ��xido n��trico circulante, diminuindo a resist��ncia arterial promovendo modifica����es no perfil lip��dico de idosas

Efic��cia do treinamento de for��a sobre par��metros cardiovasculares e antropom��tricos em adultos sedent��rios

This study aimed to determine the influence of strength training (ST), in three weekly sessions over ten weeks, on cardiovascular parameters and anthropometric measurements. It is a before and after intervention trial, with a sample composed of 30 individuals. Participants were adults aged between 18 and 40 years, from both sexes and sedentary for at least three months previously. Tests were computed ergospirometry, CRP, PWV and body composition (dependent variables) before and after the experiment. Independent variables, age and sex, were considered in order to determine their influence on the dependent variablesevaluatedend. By comparing the initial cardiovascular parameters with those obtained after intervention in patients undergoing the ST proposed (a Student s t-test was conducted within each group for samples matched to parameters with normal distribution, while the Wilcoxin was applied for those without), there was no significant difference in PWV(p =0469) or PCR(p =0.247), but there was an increase in anaerobic threshold(AT) (p=0.004) and Maximal Oxygen Uptake(VO2max) (p =0.052). In regard to anthropometric measures, individuals significantly reduced their body fat percentage (p<0.001) and fat mass (p<0,001), as well as increasing lean mass (p<0.001). However, no changes were recorded in the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) (p= 0.777), body mass (p=0.226) or body mass index (BMI) (p =0.212). Findings of this study lead us to believe that the proposed ST, and did not increase the VOP or PCR improves cardiorespiratory capacity and body composition. Devotees of this training can therefore safely enjoy all its benefits without risk to the cardiovascular system

Influ��ncia do treinamento aer��bio sobre o cortisol e glicose plasm��ticos em equinos

Estudou-se a resposta do cortisol e da glicemia em 12 equinos da ra��a Puro Sangue ��rabe destreinados (T0) por oito meses e submetidos a um per��odo de 90 dias de treinamento aer��bio (T90). Para avalia����o dos efeitos do treinamento, empregou-se teste ergom��trico constitu��do de exerc��cio progressivo em esteira rolante, acompanhado por colheitas de sangue 15 segundos antes do t��rmino de cada etapa de esfor��o. A velocidade (intensidade) do treino foi definida como sendo 80% da V4 (velocidade na qual a lactacidemia atinge 4mmol/L). Adicionalmente, no ��ltimo m��s de treinamento, foi institu��do, uma vez por semana, exerc��cio com velocidades vari��veis, chamado fartlek. Ap��s 90 dias de treinamento, a concentra����o plasm��tica de cortisol elevou-se e ap��s o teste de esfor��o (20min), houve aumento da glicemia. Este resultado reflete a possibilidade de adapta����o ao treinamento. Conclui-se que o cortisol plasm��tico pode ser utilizado como ferramenta na avalia����o de um programa de treinamento em equinos.

L'objectif de cette ��tude est de comprendre la relation entre les situations didactiques faisant appel aux connaissances historiques et la construction de l'identit�� personnelle pour les enfants dans l'��ducation de la petite enfance. Sa question centrale se demande si les connaissances sont offrent des contributions �� la construction de l'identit�� personnelle par les enfants de la petite enfance. Se distingue, lui aussi, entend contribuer �� ��largir le d��bat sur l'enseignement et l'apprentissage des th��mes historiques dans l'��ducation des enfants, et permettre un dialogue avec d'autres enseignants dans cette ��tape de l'��ducation. Ont ��t�� analys��s par des principes th��oriques et m��thodologiques de qualit�� et a assum�� les orientations m��thodologiques de la recherche collaborative. Il a ��t�� constat�� que la syst��matisation des situations didactiques impliquant la connaissance historique dans l'��ducation de la petite enfance contribue �� la construction de l'identit�� personnelle de l'enfant. Ceci, pour prendre possession de ces connaissances, ils recueillent des renseignements qui permet le plus large ��ventail de relations, afin de comparer les pratiques culturelles de son temps avec des pratiques �� d'autres moments. Ainsi orient��e, l'enfant cherche �� raconter son histoire avec le th��me historique �� laquelle elle a eu acc��s, d'organiser et de construire des r��ponses des explications sur leur environnement et de lui-m��me. Tout cela montre �� la r��alisation que le processus d'internalisation des connaissances historiques de l'enfant est construit comme un sujet et, par cons��quent, cette connaissance peut ��tre con��u comme un m��diateur dans la formation de l'identit�� personnelle

S��o Paulo do Potengi :uma cidade, seu p��roco, e suas pr��ticas educativas (1950-1980)

This research work named S��o Paulo do Potengi RN: a common town to a uncommon movement in the trails of movement of Natal (1950 1980), has the finality to reconstitute an educational defined moment at S��o Paulo do Potengi, Rio Grande do Norte county by the movement of Natal experience through archdiocese of this town. The central worry came to the learning of educational practicing by usual activities of radiophonic schools, syndicalism education and leadership training which converged to a public power construction of base democracy in order to incorporate a political project of social transformation of reality. We detach the figure of Monsenhor Expedito Sobral de Medeiros who shared his fifty-six strict life and was the majority leadership on the educational and religious practisimes developed there

Efeito da estimula����o transcraniana por corrente cont��nua an��dica sobre o controle do movimento em para-halterofilistas

Introduction: The sport practiced by people with disabilities has been growing in recent years. Consequently, advances in assessment and training methods have emerged. However, the paralympic sport keeps in tow these advances, with few specific studies that consider disability as intervening factor. The transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a technique that has proven to be capable of modulating brain function. Studies show beneficial effects of tDCS on muscle strength, power and fatigue during exercise. Objective: Investigate de the effect of tDCS on movement control in para-powerlifters. Methods: Eight subjects underwent two sessions of motion capture, which previously applied the anodic tDCS or sham sessions in the cerebellum. Three movements were performed with increasing load between 90-95% of 1MR. The movements were recorded by an 10 infrared cameras system which reconstructed the 3D trajectory of markers placed on the bar. Results: There have been changes between the anodic and sham conditions over bar level (initial, final, maximum during the eccentric and concentric phase) and in the difference between the final and initial bar level. Moreover, there was difference in bar level (final and during the eccentric phase) comparing athletes amputees and les autres. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that tDCS applied prior to the exercise over the cerebellum in para-powerlifters acts differently according to disability

Avalia����o do impacto do treinamento de cl��nica em hansen��ase e sua contribui����o para o aumento da detec����o da doen��a no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte

Hansen��s disease is considered a serious public health problem. In 2006, the Ministry of Health reported that worldwide, Brazil ranked 2nd in the number of cases of the disease, surpassed only by India. The North region is the geographical area in Brazil that presents the most cases. In the state of Rio Grande do Norte, the disease is considered to be eliminated because its prevalence has been identified as 1 per 10.000 inhabitants, criteria established by the State Elimination Letter of 2005. Training programs have been offered by the Coordination for the Control of Hansen��s Disease Program of Rio Grande do Norte, PCH-RN since 1997, with the support of the English governmental agency Leprosy Relief Association, LRA, with no evaluation having been conducted. The objective of this study was to evaluate the training programs in clinical diagnosis of Hansen��s disease and their contribution to the detection of the disease in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The study was conducted in seven municipalities that are known as Regional Public Health Units (URSAPs): S��o Jos�� de Mipibu URSAP I, Mossor�� URSAP II, Jo��o C��mara URSAP III, Caic�� URSAP IV, Santa Cruz URSAP V, Pau dos Ferros URSAP VI and Natal, capital city of the State, in the Metropolitan Region. Physicians and nurses of the Family Health Program PSF were interviewed as to their perceptions of the implementation of the training program in clinica diagnosis of Hansen��s Disease conducted by the PCH-RN. They evaluated their own practice and the training program. These professionals presented a positive evaluation of the program and gave suggestions for future courses. The results of this study suggest the need for permanent education. Data of the disease obtained from the official records of the Secretariat of Health and from the interviews indicate that health education is the means to control Hansen��s disease effectively

Qualidade de vida de pessoas com ��lcera venosa: associa����o dos aspectos sociodemogr��ficos, de sa��de, assist��ncia e cl��nicos da les��o

Venous ulcer (VU) is a lower limbs injury resulting from inadequate return of venous blood in feet or legs. Although it is not a deadly disease, it causes chronic wounds, which seriously undermine patients�� quality of life (QOL) and sometimes leads to drastic family, social, economic and psychological changes. In this sense, there are several aspects that may influence the venous ulcers patients�� QOL. The study��s objective aimed on the association of socio-demographic and health, health care and clinical injury on UV patients&#8223; QOL. Analytical studies, which consider the complexity of factors involved in changes in UV patients&#8223; QOL has a cross-sectional and quantitative approach. The HUOL Ethics Committee approved this project (n.279/09). The collection of data lasted a period of 3 months in 2010 and it took place at the clinic of Angiology at Hospital Universit��rio Onofre Lopes (HUOL). The data sample consisted of 60 patients treated by UV angiologists in the HUOL Surgical Clinic. The results were analyzed with SPSS 15.0 by descriptive and inferential statistics. The study was based on UV patients that were predominantly female, average age of 61.4 years, that had low education level and low family income, with occupations requiring long periods of standing or sitting, but mostly retired, unemployed or laid off due to the disease and/or due to chronic diseases associated with the UV. The study took also into consideration patients that used inappropriate products, that were improperly treated by a professional caregiver, that lacked of adequate guidance and compression therapy, that performed no lifting of the lower limbs and regular exercise, that the time of injury were greater than or equal to six months, that were missing specific laboratory tests. The study&#8223;s reference were on recurrent lesions, medium to large lesions area, bed of the lesion (injuries) with fibrin and/or necrosis, with amount of exudate with medium to large, odorless and no signs of infection, with tissue loss between 1st and 2nd degree, without collecting swab or biopsy and with pain. In general, QOL of researched individuals were considered low, the maximum score was 69 points, which the areas that were mostly influenced were the total scores of QOL functional capacity (0.021), emotional (0.000) and social functioning (0.080). Of the 60 individuals, 53.3% had scores between 40 and 69 points in SF-36, and they had the best scores in sociodemographic and health variables (&#961; = 0.049). In respect to the assistance and injury characteristics, patients who scored between 40 and 69 points in SF-36 had better scores on these characteristics. By combining the socio-demographic variables, health, and handling characteristics of the injury, we observed a significant difference (&#961; = 0.032) when linking them with the QOL total scores. When analyzing separately the domains of the SF-36 scores on the quality of life, we find that the areas that showed statistical significance were functional ability (&#961; = 0.035), appearance (&#961; = 0.019), emotional (&#961; = 0.000), and mental health (&#961; = 0.050). Among the socio-demographic characteristics studied, gender and marital status contributed more to the reduction of QOL and among the variables of assistance and the injury, orientation, reference and area of UV contributed the most. By analyzing these five variables all together in accordance with the overall score obtained in the quality of life, we found a significant correlation (&#961; = 0.002); with 6.23 times more chances of patients have better QOL in the presence of these five positive factors. By conducting the Mann Whitney U test between all the five demographic variables, health, and clinical care, we found that this combination also proved to be significant (&#961; = 0.006). Therefore, patients with these five variables positive tend to have a better QOL. Based on these results, we reject the null hypothesis (H0) and accept the alternative hypothesis (H1) proposed in this study because we noted that the QOL of patients with UV is associated with sociodemographic and health, health care and clinical aspects of the injury
