A abordagem deste tema surge essencialmente devido ao panorama atual, com a existência de um grande número de edifícios tradicionais, que devem ser conservados de forma a preservar o património arquitetónico português. Desta forma pretende-se conhecer os tipos de edifícios tradicionais existentes em Portugal e no estrangeiro, as anomalias principais e suas típicas causas e por fim as técnicas de reabilitação e reforço a aplicar, de maneira a serem feitas comparações entre países. Para além disto pretende-se apresentar uma visão geral sobre os custos de reabilitação e reforço de edifícios tradicionais. No fim, apresentam-se algumas conclusões sobre o assunto e propostas de trabalhos futuros, de modo a se facilitarem os conhecimentos e investimentos nesta área.

Búsqueda de triatóminos en el entorno familiar y presencia de la enfermedad de chagas en la población de 5 a 15 años, caserío San Rafael, cantón Guanacaste, municipio de Ciudad Barrios, departamento de San Miguel en el período de mayo a julio de 2014

La enfermedad de Chagas, también conocida como tripanosomiasis americana o Mal de Chagas-Mazza, es una enfermedad parasitaria tropical, generalmente crónica, causada por el protozoo flagelado Trypanosoma cruzi. Esta enfermedad afecta mayormente a las zonas con un gran índice de pobreza, siendo un problema en El Salvador, por lo cual se realizó el estudio de búsqueda de triatóminos en el entorno familiar y presencia de la enfermedad de Chagas en la población de 5 a 15 años, caserío San Rafael, cantón Guanaste, municipio de Ciudad Barrios, departamento de San Miguel en el período de mayo a julio de 2014. Se plantearon como Objetivos Aplicar los indicadores entomológicos en los vectores capturados y las viviendas inspeccionadas donde habita la población de 5 a 15 años de edad del caserío San Rafael y determinar la presencia de la enfermedad de Chagas en la población de 5 a 15 años de edad. La Metodología empleada en el estudio es de tipo prospectivo de corte transversal, descriptivo, de campo y de laboratorio. La población estuvo formada por 63 menores de edad y 37 viviendas. Resultados de esta investigación son: respecto a las viviendas se estudiaron 37 casas donde residen menores de 5 a 15 años de edad, encontrándose en viviendas un total de 22 vectores transmisores de la enfermedad, de las cuales en 3 (13.6%) de estas se encontraron positivas al parásito Trypanosoma cruzi; favorece a la proliferación de este vector en la comunidad el tipo de construcción de las viviendas, en las cuales predominó las casas de pared, piso y tierra con adobe, tierra y teja y bahareque, tierra y teja, respectivamente En la población se examinaron a 63 menores entre 5 a 15 años, de estos se detectaron 9 casos sospechosos y confirmaron 6 casos positivos, lo que equivale al 9% a la presencia de la enfermedad de Chagas. Conclusiones Se estudiaron 37 viviendas dado que en ellas habitan menores de 5 a 15 años, 10 de estas se encuentran infectadas con el vector. Encontrando un total de 22 chinches con un porcentaje de 27.02% de infestación de vivienda por Triatoma dimidiata. Se realizó una búsqueda dentro de las viviendas, con un índice de infestación intradomiciliar de 27.02%. A pesar de la búsqueda exhaustiva realizada en el área peridomiciliar de las viviendas no se logró encontrar el vector por lo tanto el índice de infestación peridomiciliar es de 0.0%. Al realizar la compresión abdominal de los 22 triatóminos capturados 3 resultaron positivos a la presencia del parásito, obteniéndose el índice de infestación natural de T. cruzi de 13.6%. De las chinches positivas, 2 de ellas fueron encontradas en viviendas de menores que salieron negativos a las pruebas parasitológicas directas e indirectas. Un factor importante para la detección de la enfermedad es que la comunidad esté informada completamente sobre los signos y síntomas de esta, y así evitar que la enfermedad pase desapercibida.

Olkapään alueen makroskooppinen anatomia – video-opetusmateriaali anatomian opiskeluun

Anatomian opiskelu perustuu edelleen pitkälti kirjojen piirrettyihin kuviin. Opinnäytetyöni on tarkoitettu täydentämään kirjojen sisältöä ja tukemaan anatomian opiskelua. Tarkoituksena oli tuottaa havainnollinen videomateriaali olkapään alueesta käytettäväksi Turun yliopiston lääketieteellisen tiedekunnan anatomian kursseilla sekä itseopiskelumateriaalina. Videolla keskitytään kahteen erilliseen isoon kokonaisuuteen: kiertäjäkalvosimeen sekä lapaluuhun ja siihen kiinnittyviin lihaksiin. Suomenkielisen opetusvideon avulla opiskelijat voivat ymmärtää paremmin olkapään kolmiulotteista anatomiaa ja hahmottaa rakenteiden välisiä suhteita oikeassa kehossa. Ennen videon kuvaamista kertasin olkapään alueen anatomian, suunnittelin videon sisällön sekä harjoittelin preparointitekniikoita. Preparointia harjoiteltiin yhdellä formaliinivainajalla ja yhdellä tuorevainajalla. Avaussalityöskentelyssä tein yhteistyötä neljän muun opiskelijan kanssa. Kuvasimme kukin omien opinnäytetöidemme aiheet samasta tuorevainajasta yhden viikonlopun aikana 19.–22.12.2014. Video kuvattiin kokonaisuudessaan Turun yliopiston Medisiina- laitosrakennuksen anatomian opetusavaussalissa. Kuvaamisessa käytettiin Kliinisten taitojen oppimiskeskuksen Portin kameraa ja kuvausvälineistöä. Kuvausmateriaali muokattiin lopulliseksi videoksi käyttämällä Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 -videonmuokkausohjelmaa. Jälkikäteen videoon lisättiin ääniraita sekä anatomian käsitteitä selventämään videon kulkua. Lopullinen opetusvideo on noin 12 minuuttia kestävä tiivis kokonaisuus olkapään alueen anatomiasta. Se koostuu kolmesta osasta. Ensimmäinen osa on suurin kokonaisuus, jossa käsitellään lapaluun merkittävimmät luiset rakenteet sekä lapaluuhun kiinnittyvät lihakset erikseen edestä ja takaa. Toisessa osassa keskitytään kliinisesti merkittävään olkapään rakenteeseen, kiertäjäkalvosimeen, josta esitellään tarkasti kaikki neljä lihasta ja niiden sijainnit kuvattuna eri suunnista ja eri etäisyyksiltä. Videon lopuksi käydään läpi vielä olkapään kymmenen eri liikettä, jotka esitetään videolla.

Estudo da incorporação de cascalho proveniente da perfuração de poços de petróleo em formulações para tijolos de solo-cimento

The present work is to study the characteristics and technological properties of soil-cement bricks made from binary and ternary mixtures of Portland cement, sand, water, with or without addition of gravel from the drilling of oil wells, which could be used by industry, aiming to improve its performance and reduce cost by using the residue and, consequently, increasing its useful life. The soil-cement bricks are one of the alternatives to masonry construction. These elements, after a short curing period, provide compressive strength similar to that of solid bricks and ceramic blocks, and the higher the resistance the higher the amount of cement used. We used the soil from the city of São José do Mipibu / RN, the banks of the River Baldun, cement CPIIZ-32 and residue of drill cuttings from oil wells drilling onshore wells in the town of Mossley, RN, provided Petrobras. To determine the optimum mix, we studied the inclusion of different residues (100%, 80%, 70%, 60% and 50%) where 15 bodies were made of the test piece. The assessment was made of bricks made from simple compression tests, mass loss by immersion and water absorption. The experimental results proved the efficiency and high utilization of the waste from the drilling of oil wells, making the brick-cement-soil residue with a higher strength and lower water absorption. The best result in terms of mechanical strength and water absorption for the ternary mixture was 10% soil, 14% cement and 80% residue. In terms of binary mixtures, we obtained the best result for the mix-cement residue, which was 14% cement incorporated in the residue

Relações interétnicas em conflito entre Makuxi e Wapixana na terra indígena Raposa Serra do Sol

This dissertation present an analysis of the interethnic conflict between Makuxi and Wapixana at the current moment in the Maloca of the Adobe, Aboriginal Land Fox-Mountain range of the Sun, in the State of Roraima. The theoretical field was boarded in the Ethnology, pursuing situations in local history, with edges in ethno-history. The research elapsed of the deepening necessity on the social relations and aboriginal politics, for the intercultural professional exercise of educator, appealing the bibliographical survey and participant comment as method; not directive interviews, photographs, filmings and daily register in of field, as techniques carried through in the period of 2006 to 2007. Although to inhabit in the same area and to establish marriages between itself, individuals and groups express tensions, aggravated with the landmark and legal recognition of the area, which generated inter dispute and intraetnias, mainly with the intrusion of farmers, rizicultores and the form of governmental influence. A relation of rivalry, individual and collective was evidenced, suggesting the strengthenig and not it fractionly, of the fights external politics, interns and in way to the cultural diversity and social adversity

Estudo da incorporação da cal em composições binárias de solo-cimento para produção de tijolos maciços

The use of binders in the soil for the production of solid bricks is an old construction technique that has been used by several civilizations over time. At the same time, the need for environmental preservation and the tendency of scarcity of natural resources make the construction invest in researching new concepts, methods and materials for building systems for the sustainability of their economic activities. Thus arises the need to obtain building materials with low power consumption, capable of reducing the growing housing shortage of rural and urban population. Currently, research has been conducted on this topic to better understand the cementitious and pozzolanic reactions that occur in the formation of the microstructure of the soil-cement when added to other materials such as, for example, lime, and the relationship between microstructure and formed interfaces with the physical, mechanical and chemical analysis in compounds made from these ternary compositions. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the results of the influence of the incorporation of lime to the soil-cement to form a ternary mixture to produce soil-cement bricks and mortar without structural purposes. From the inclusion of contents of 6 %, 8 %, 10% and 12% lime to the soil, and soil-cement mixes in amounts of 2 %, 3 %, 4 % and 5 % were shaped-bodies of -cylindrical specimens to determine the optimum moisture content and maximum dry apparent specific weight. Then they were cured, and subjected to the tests of compressive strength, absorption and durability modified. Compositions obtained the best results in the tests performed on the bodies-of-proof cylindrical served as a parameter for molding of solid bricks, which underwent the same experimental methodology previously cited. The raw materials used, as well as compositions in which the bricks were molded solid, were characterized by physical and chemical tests, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results obtained in the study indicate that the compositions studied, that showed the best results in terms of compressive strength, water absorption and durability ternary composition was soil, 10 % cement and 2 % lime

El alineamiento modal en el preámbulo de reuniones por videoconferencia

En el presente artículo se introduce el concepto de alineamiento modal, un fenómeno interactivo característico del preámbulo de reuniones por videoconferencia, en las que la interacción puede llevarse a cabo a través del chat escrito, la imagen y la voz. Con tal propósito, se parte del modelo de interacción de Erving Goffman y la metodología del Análisis de la Conversación (AC). A través de una selección de ejemplos extraídos de un corpus de dieciocho interacciones por Adobe Connect 7.0, el análisis muestra que la selección del canal, dentro del contexto analizado, constituye un recurso para el alineamiento y la (re)configuración del marco de participación de las reuniones. Asimismo, se sugiere que dicho recurso es utilizado por los participantes como estrategia para gestionar la orientación recíproca y la toma de turno durante los preámbulos.

Characterization of traditional raw materials used in housing construction in Huambo Region - Angola

The sustainability of buildings associated to the use of raw earth has motivated the studies and the development of techniques and methods in the context of this type of construction. In the region of Huambo, Angola, these construction techniques are widely used, especially for low-income families who represent the majority of the population. Much of the buildings in Huambo province are built with adobe. Due to the climate in this region, subtropical, hot and humid, with altitudes above 1000 meters and extensive river system, these buildings are particularly vulnerable to the action of water and develop, in many situations, early degradation. The Huambo Province is located in central Angola, has 36 km2 area and approximately 2 million inhabitants. This work aims to evaluate, by conducting in-situ tests, physical and mechanical properties of adobe blocks typically used in the construction of those buildings. The methodology is based on field campaigns where in-situ expeditious tests were performed in soils (smell test, color, touch, brightness, sedimentation, ball, hardness, etc.) and tests on adobes blocks made with traditional procedures, particularly in terms of durability and erodibility (erosion test at Geelong method; evaluation test of wet / dry cycle, applying the New Zealand standards 4297: 1998; 4297: 1998 and 4297: 1999). The results will contribute to the characterization of the geomaterials and methods used in construction with earth in Huambo Province, contributing to the improvement of these sustainable solutions, with a strong presence in this region. The results of this study will also contribute to the proposal of constructive solutions with improved performance characteristics, comfort, safety and durability.
