A atuação de Defensoria Pública do Pará e a mulher encarcerada

A pesquisa analisa como a Defensoria Pública do Estado do Pará está atuando em relação aos direitos sociais da mulher encarcerada em sede de execução penal a partir da Lei nº 054 de 2006. Para tanto, caracteriza o perfil das mulheres condenadas e verifica como a atuação da Defensoria pública, por meio de procedimentos judiciais e extrajudiciais, contribui para a diminuição da vulnerabilidade social e ampliação do capital social, econômico e cultural da mulher encarcerada. Utiliza os conceitos de habitus, campo, capital econômico, capital cultural e poder simbólico de Bourdieu, a ideia de criminalização da pobreza de Loic Wacquant, Joan Scott para o conceito de gênero. Metodologicamente, é classificada como um estudo de caso no Estado do Pará com coleta de dados nos meses de outubro a novembro de 2012, tendo como locus da pesquisa os Centros de Recuperação: CRF (Ananindeua), CRAMA (Marabá) e CRASHM (Santarém), permitindo comparações entre eles. Utiliza uma abordagem quantitativa com aplicação de questionário a todas as voluntárias (202 do universo de 275 presas condenadas) e análise de relatórios. Realizou uma análise descritiva dos dados obtidos, EXCEL e SPSS.17, na elaboração de gráficos e tabelas e análise inferencial (teste Qui-Quadrado de independência). A abordagem qualitativa utilizou entrevista semiestruturada aplicada aos defensores públicos e grupo focal no CRF, com a posterior triangulação dos dados. Concluindo que a mulher encarcerada representa um grupo vulnerável com baixo capital econômico, cultural e social, encontrando dificuldade de acesso à saúde. O acesso à justiça também não é efetivado plenamente no que tange seus direitos sociais, que somente foram atendidos parcialmente por meio de ações judiciais individuais e atuação administrativa, não sendo utilizadas ações judiciais coletivas ou constitucionais, sendo diminuta a participação em políticas públicas e a atuação em rede.

Judicialização da regulação e perda da qualidade do fornecimento de energia elétrica em áreas periférica

Este estudo analisa os resultados da mudança na estrutura de regulação do serviço público de energia elétrica, implementada, no âmbito da Reforma do Estado, no final dos anos 1990. Foi comparada a qualidade do serviço de distribuição no fornecimento de energia elétrica de duas empresas que atuam no Norte do Brasil, uma pública, outra privada. A última, ao ser penalizada pela agência reguladora, recorreu, sistematicamente, à judicialização dos processos punitivos. Essa estratégia não foi observada na atuação da empresa pública. Tal possibilidade institucional decorre de as agências serem dependentes do Judiciário que opera sob lógica estruturalmente diferente da lógica gerencial. Concluiu-se que a judicialização enseja comportamentos baseados na procrastinação no âmbito do arcabouço regulatório dos serviços públicos, bloqueando a estratégia pública de regulação.

Lei de Telecomunicações e orgão regulador no Brasil: desafios e obstáculos à luz da experência britânica e européia

A inovação tecnológica trazida pela digitalização das transmissões de rádio e TV acentua a necessidade de novos formatos de regulação e não dispensa a atuação do Estado. Diante deste contexto, deve-se considerar que a reformulação do quadro legal das comunicações no Brasil traz a possibilidade de se instituir um órgão regulador não apenas de fomento, mas de regulação e fiscalização dos serviços públicos de radiodifusão. No mundo, existem pelo menos 84 órgãos dessa natureza, em 54 países. No Reino Unido, o caso do Ofcom (Offi ce of Communications) pode trazer referências relevantes para o Brasil, que apresenta obstáculos culturais e institucionais a serem devidamente enfrentados na luta pela constituição de um serviço público de televisão nos moldes das bem-sucedidas experiências européias. Este artigo sintetiza lições trazidas pela construção do atual quadro regulatório do Reino Unido e da União Européia e analisa as barreiras à implementação deste modelo no Brasil.

Five-year clinical performance of the dentine Deproteinization Technique in non-carious cervical lesions

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the 5-year clinical performance of composite restorations of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) using a total-etch adhesive system with or without collagen removal with 10% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl).Methods: In this study randomized controlled split-mouth clinical trial, one-hundred and thirty-eight NCCL were restored into 30 patients. Each patient received at least one pair of composite restorations (Filtek A110/3M ESPE), bonded either with 2 techniques: Conventional Technique - acid etching with 37% phosphoric acid + Prime & Bond NT (Denstply DeTrey); Deproteinization Technique - acid etching with 37% phosphoric acid + 10% NaOCl for 1 min + Prime & Bond NT. The two techniques were evaluated using the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria at baseline, 18 months, 3 and 5 years. After five years, one-hundred and six restorations were evaluated in 24 patients. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test (p < 0.05).Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two techniques regarding the evaluated parameters (p > 0.05).Conclusion: After 5 years, the application of 10% NaOCl deproteinization on etched dentine did not affect the clinical performance of composite restorations placed in NCCL when compared to the conventional total-etch technique.Clinical significance: Clinical studies evaluating the performance of the Deproteinization Technique are scarce. In this study, this technique showed similar clinical performance at the end of 5 years when compared to a conventional total-etch technique. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Seven-Year Clinical Performance of Resin Composite Versus Resin-Modified Glass lonomer Restorations in Noncarious Cervical Lesions

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to comparatively assess the seven-year clinical performance of a one-bottle etch-and-rinse adhesive with resin composite (RC) and resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) restorations in noncarious cervical lesions.Methods and Materials: One operator placed 70 restorations (35 restorations in each group) in 30 patients under rubber dam isolation without mechanical preparation. The restorations were directly assessed by two independent examiners, using modified US Public Health Service criteria at baseline and 6, 12, 24, 60, and 84 months. The obtained data were tabulated and statistically analyzed using the Fisher and McNemar tests. A difference was significant if p<0.05.Results: Twenty patients were available for recall after seven years (66.6%), and 25 RC and 26 RMGI restorations out of 70 restorations were evaluated. Excellent agreement was registered for all criteria between examiners (kappa >= 0.85). Alfa and bravo scores were classified as clinically acceptable. The McNemar test detected significant differences within RC restorations between baseline and seven-year evaluations for anatomic form, marginal integrity, and retention (p<0.05). For RMGI restorations, a significant difference was identified for marginal integrity (p<0.05). As to material comparison, the Fisher exact showed a better retention performance for RMGI restorations than for RC restorations (p<0.05). Twelve composite restorations were dislodged (52.0% retention) and three ionomer restorations were lost (88.5% retention). The cumulative success rate for RC and RMGI was 30% and 58.1%, respectively.Conclusions: After seven years of service, the clinical performance of RMGI restorations was superior to that of the adhesive system/resin composite restorations in this study.

Evaluation of dental restorations: a comparative study between clinical and digital photographic assessments

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of a direct clinical evaluation method with an indirect digital photographic method in assessing the quality of dental restorations. Seven parameters (color, occlusal marginal adaptation, anatomy form, roughness, occlusal marginal stain, luster, and secondary caries) were assessed in 89 Class I and Class II restorations from 36 adults using the modified US Public Health Service/Ryge criteria. Standardized photographs of the same restorations were digitally processed by Adobe Photoshop software, separated into the following four groups and assessed by two calibrated examiners: Group A: The original photograph displayed at 100%, without modifications (IMG100); Group B: Formed by images enlarged at 150% (IMG150); Group C: Formed by digital photographs displayed at 100% (mIMG100), with digital modifications (levels adjustment, shadow and highlight correction, color balance, unsharp Mask); and Group D: Formed by enlarged photographs displayed at 150% with modifications (mIMG150), with the same adjustments made to Group C. Photographs were assessed on a calibrated screen (Macbook) by two calibrated clinicians, and the results were statistically analyzed using Wilcoxon tests (SSPS 11.5) at 95% CI. Results: The photographic method produced higher reliability levels than the direct clinical method in all parameters. The evaluation of digital images is more consistent with clinical assessment when restorations present some moderate defect (Bravo) and less consistent when restorations are clinically classified as either satisfactory (Alpha) or in cases of severe defects (Charlie). Conclusion: The digital photographic method is a useful tool for assessing the quality of dental restorations, providing information that goes unnoticed with the visual-tactile clinical examination method. Additionally, when analyzing restorations using the Ryge modified criteria, the digital photographic method reveals a significant increase of defects compared to those clinically observed with the naked eye. Photography by itself, without the need for enlargement or correction, provides more information than clinical examination and can lead to unnecessary overtreatment.

Longitudinal results of a 10-year clinical trial of repair of amalgam restorations

The aim of this prospective, blind, and randomized clinical trial was to assess the effectiveness of repair of localized clinical defects in amalgam restorations that were initially scheduled for replacement. A cohort of 20 patients with 40 (Class I and Class II) amalgam restorations that presented one or more clinical features that deviated from the ideal (Bravo or Charlie) according to US Public Health Service criteria, were randomly assigned to either the repair or the replacement group—A: repair, n = 19; and B: replacement, n = 21. Two examiners who had calibration expertise evaluated the restorations at baseline and 10 years after according to seven parameters: marginal occlusal adaptation, anatomic form, surface roughness, marginal staining, contact, secondary caries, and luster. After 10 years, 30 restorations (75%) were evaluated (Group A: n = 17; Group B: n = 13). Repaired and replaced amalgam restorations showed similar survival outcomes regarding marginal defects and secondary caries in patients with low and medium caries risk, and most of the restorations were considered clinically acceptable after 10 years. Repair treatment increased the potential for tooth longevity, using a minimally interventional procedure. All restorations trend to downgrade over time.

Sealing composite with defective margins, good care or over treatment? results of a 10-year clinical trial

Purpose: The objective of this study was to clinically evaluate sealed composite restorations after 10 years and compare their behavior with respect to controls. Methods and Materials: The cohort consisted of 20 patients aged 18 to 80 years with 80 composite restorations. All participants in the sealing and no-treatment groups presented with clinical features for the marginal adaptation that deviated from the ideal and were rated Bravo (United States Public Health Service criteria). Composites with Alfa values for the marginal adaptation were used as the positive control. Results: The marginal adaptation behavior was similar between the sealing and control (+) groups, with a high frequency of Bravo values in the 10th year (80% and 51%, respectively). Most of the no-treatment (-) group maintained the Bravo values (91%) for 10 years, although some restorations (9%) progressed to Charlie values. The anatomy parameter differed significantly between the first and 10th years, with deterioration in all three groups (p,0.05). The secondary caries parameter had a similar behavior in the three groups (p.0.05). Conclusions: Sealing the margins of the composite resin restorations had no significant effect compared with the control groups, under the conditions of this study. Sealing the restorations substantially improved the marginal staining and marginal adaptation parameters, although by the tenth year they were similar to the group without intervention.
