O advento da Tecnologia da Informação (TI) provocou, em poucos anos de sua evolução, mudanças significativas para a sociedade como um todo. Esta revolução tecnológica acabou por desumanizar e segregar relações familiares, sociais e de trabalho e isto se aplica particularmente ao trabalho dos profissionais da área. Suas conseqüências, entretanto, ainda são pouco conhecidas. As carreiras desses profissionais são circundadas por pressões provocadas por busca constante por novos projetos, adaptação a novos ambientes e culturas organizacionais diversas e remuneração condicionada a prazos, o que exige um gerenciamento constante de suas ações. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo identificar relações entre comprometimento com a carreira, resiliência e intenção de mudança de profissão em profissionais de tecnologia da informação (TI). Intenção de mudança de profissão é a expectativa do profissional de abandonar a profissão atual; comprometimento com a carreira é o vínculo mantido pelo trabalhador com sua carreira ou profissão e resiliência pode ser definida como a capacidade de adaptação positiva diante de situações adversas. Participaram deste estudo 60 profissionais da área de tecnologia da informação. A amostra é predominantemente masculina (75%), com idade entre 25 e 60 anos. Quanto à formação a grande maioria (61,7%) apresenta nível superior completo. O tempo de atuação 66,7% dos respondentes na área de TI encontra-se no intervalo entre um a dez anos de profissão; esses profissionais atuam como autônomos empregados ou cooperados em diversos segmentos de mercado. Os instrumentos de coleta foram a Escala de Avaliação de Resiliência (EAR) e a Escala de Comprometimento com a Carreira. Os dados foram submetidos a análises estatísticas descritivas e de associação. Médias fatoriais e desvios-padrão revelaram que os participantes aceitam positivamente as mudanças, adaptando-se diante de dificuldades da vida e diante de novos projetos e desafios profissionais. Demonstraram ainda que quanto mais resignados são os profissionais de TI, menos eles querem mudar de atividade nesta área de atuação. Os resultados, discutidos à luz da literatura da área, sustentaram em parte as hipóteses testadas neste estudo, ou seja, quanto mais elevados foram os níveis de comprometimento com a carreira, maiores foram os níveis de resiliência relatados e menor foi a intenção de mudar de profissão.

Inaccurate diagnosis of vulvovaginitis generates inadequate treatments that cause damages women's health. Objective: evaluate the effectiveness of methods when diagnosing vulvovaginitis. Method: a cross-sectional study was performed with 200 women who complained about vaginal discharge. Vaginal smear was collected for microbiological tests, considering the gram stain method as gold standard. The efficacy of the available methods for diagnosis of vaginal discharge was assessed (sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value). Data were inserted to Graphpad Prism 6, for statistical analysis. Results: the following results were obtained: wet mount for vaginal candidiasis: sensitivity = 31%; specificity = 97%; positive predictive value (PPV) = 54%; negative predictive value (NPV) =93%; accuracy = 91%. Wet mount for bacterial vaginosis: sensitivity = 80%; specificity =95%; positive predictive value (PPV) = 80%; negative predictive value (NPV) = 95%; accuracy = 92%. Syndromic approach for bacterial vaginosis: sensitivity = 95%; specificity=43%; positive predictive value (PPV) =30%; negative predictive value (NPV) = 97%; accuracy = 54%. Syndromic approach for vaginal candidiasis: sensitivity = 75%; specificity =91%; positive predictive value (PPV) = 26%; negative predictive value (NPV) = 98%; accuracy = 90%. Pap smear for vaginal candidiasis: sensitivity = 68%, specificity = 98%; positive predictive value (PPV) = 86%; negative predictive value (NPV) =96%; accuracy = 96%. Pap smear for bacterial vaginosis: sensitivity = 75%; specificity = 100%; positive predictive value (PPV) = 100%; negative predictive value (NPV) =94%; accuracy = 95%. There was only one case of vaginal trichomoniasis reported – diagnosed by oncological cytology and wet mount – confirmed by Gram. The syndromic approach diagnosed it as bacterial vaginosis. From the data generated and with support on world literature, the Maternidade Escola Januário Cicco’s vulvovaginitis protocol was constructed. Conclusion: Pap smear and wet mount showed respectively low and very low sensitivity for vaginal candidiasis. Syndromic approach presented very low specificity and accuracy for bacterial vaginosis, which implies a large number of patients who are diagnosed or treated incorrectly.

Atualmente com o crescente aumento de dispositivos robóticos destinados para aplicação na área de mobilidade de pessoas que sofreram algum tipo de lesão medular, se faz necessário desenvolver novas ferramentas para tornar tais equipamentos mais adaptáveis, seguros e autônomos. Para que as órteses robóticas que auxiliam na locomoção de pessoas paraplégicas possam desempenhar sua função, estas devem ser capazes de reproduzir os movimentos perdidos com o máximo de fidelidade e segurança em ambientes que eventualmente possam conter obstáculos de diferentes tipos como buracos, escadas e calçadas. As órteses robóticas para membros inferiores têm a capacidade de caminhar, subir e descer degraus, todavia, esses movimentos, na maioria das vezes, não se adaptam ao ambiente, sendo assim, para uma órtese robótica que foi projetada para subir um degrau com uma determinada altura ao se deparar com um degrau maior provavelmente não conseguirá realizar essa tarefa com a mesma segurança. Para solucionar esse e outros problemas, esse trabalho apresenta um Sistema de Auxílio à Locomoção (SAL) dotado de um planejador de passos e um gerador de referências angulares com características antropomórficas para a órtese robótica Ortholeg. O SAL utiliza dados antropométricos do usuário para gerar um padrão de marcha personalizado, dessa forma, a órtese em questão é capaz de adaptar o tamanho do passo para não colidir com obstáculos presentes no ambiente e transpor buracos com diversos tamanhos, subir e descer escadas e calçadas com diferentes valores de altura e comprimento. Para desenvolver o sistema de auxílio à locomoção foram adaptadas técnicas de planejamento de caminho, usadas a princípio em robôs bípedes. São apresentados vários experimentos que mostram a órtese Ortholeg realizando alguns movimentos com características antropomórficas para diferentes distâncias de caminhada e três tipos de obstáculos: degrau, buraco e calçada. A autonomia adquirida com a utilização do sistema de planejamento apresentado facilita a utilização de órteses robóticas como também garante uma maior segurança ao usuário.

Nos últimos anos tem-se verificado que a população portuguesa está cada vez mais envelhecida. Este fator agrava-se em ambientes rurais, onde a desertificação populacional é mais frequente, derivado, entre outros, da migração da população mais jovem para os grandes centros urbanos, em busca de melhores condições de vida. Tendo como consequência a exclusão social da população residente nestas zonas. O reduzido foco populacional das zonas rurais não é um fator atrativo para as entidades que realizam investimentos em serviços e infraestruturas tecnológicas, devido ao retorno financeiro obtido não ser, à partida, rentável. Levando a uma exclusão tecnológica de quem reside nestas zonas. Este fator, agrava-se na população sénior dado que raramente são estimulados a interagir com a tecnologia. Com o objetivo de contribuir para a melhoria desta problemática, combatendo simultaneamente os dois tipos de exclusões, tecnológica e social, propõem-se através desta dissertação, um serviço de videochamada, baseado no conceito do padrão Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV). Um dos fatores considerados, durante o estudo deste serviço, foi a barreira tecnológica existente entre os idosos e a tecnologia. De modo a aproximar ambos, optou-se por aproveitar os conhecimentos que os idosos já possuem na utilização de equipamentos do seu quotidiano. Sendo a televisão, o equipamento selecionado para integrar no serviço de videochamada, permitindo ao idoso contactar facilmente com outras pessoas e serviços. Através da implementação de um protótipo e dos resultados obtidos, conclui-se que o serviço desenvolvido é uma solução válida para combater a problemática apresentada, contribuindo positivamente para a redução da exclusão social e da iliteracia tecnológica

The IT capability is a organizational ability to perform activities of this role more effectively and an important mechanism in creating value. Its building process (stages of creation and development) occurs through management initiatives for improvement in the performance of their activities, using human resources and IT assets complementary responsible for the evolution of their organizational routines. This research deals with the IT capabilities related to SIG (integrated institutional management systems), built and deployed in UFRN (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte) to realization and control of administrative, academic and human resources activities. Since 2009, through cooperative agreements with federal and educational institutions of direct administration, UFRN has supported the implementation of these systems, currently involving more than 30 institutions. The present study aims to understand how IT capabilities, relevant in the design, implementation and dissemination of SIG, were built over time. This is a single case study of qualitative and longitudinal nature, performed by capturing, coding and analysis from secondary data and from semi-structured interviews conducted primarily with members of Superintenência de Informática, organizational unit responsible for SIG systems in UFRN. As a result, the technical, of internal relationship and external cooperation capabilities were identified as relevant in the successful trajectory of SIG systems, which have evolved in different ways. The technical capacity, initiated in 2004, toured the stages of creation and development until it reached the stage of stability in 2013, due to technological limits. Regarding the internal relationship capability, begun in 2006, it toured the stages of creation and development, having extended its scope of activities in 2009, being in development since then. Unlike the standard life cycle observed in the literature, the external cooperation capability was initiated by an intensity of initiatives and developments in the routines in 2009, which were decreasing to cease in 2013 in order to stabilize the technological infrastructure already created for cooperative institutions. It was still identified the start of cooperation in 2009 as an important event selection, responsible for changing or creating trajectories of evolution in all three capacities. The most frequent improvements initiatives were of organizational nature and the internal planning activity has been transformed over the routines of the three capabilities. Important resources and complementary assets have been identified as important for the realization of initiatives, such as human resources technical knowledge to the technical capabilities and external cooperation, and business knowledge, for all of them, as well as IT assets: the iproject application for control of development processes, and the document repository wiki. All these resources and complementary assets grew along the capacities, demonstrating its strategic value to SINFO/UFRN

Sodium is an essential nutrient with important functions in the organism, however, its ingestion in excess may cause various health problems such as arterial hypertension, brain diseases, heart failure and chronic renal failure. In this context, the present study proposes to prepare Minas Padrão cheese with different contents of sodium with the objective of evaluating the effect of the addition of potassium chloride in sensory characteristics and hysicochemical properties, as well as in the proximal composition and in microbiological quality. The cheeses were elaborate in concentrations of 100% of NaCl (C), 80% of NaCl + 20% of KCl (T1), 60% of NaCl + 40% of KCl (T2), 40% of NaCl + 60% of KCl (T3) and 20% of NaCl + 80% of KCl (T4) and stored for 20 days at 10 ºC. The proximal composition and physicochemical was based on the determination of moisture content, fat, protein, ash, chloride, sodium, potassium, titratable acidity and pH of all treatments after 20 days of storage. The microbiological quality of the samples was monitored through the count of Total Coliforms and Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., mold and yeast in the first and fifteenth day of storage. The sensorial characterization was performed by the technique of Free Profile choice. The results showed that the replacement of sodium chloride by potassium in the Minas Padrão cheese in concentration higher than 40% presented significantly higher moisture contents. Cheese with a reduction greater than 60% of sodium obtained significantly effect in the titratable acidity, presenting higher values compared to the other treatments. The cheese with 20% of salt replacement did not differ statistically in relation to the control. When the proportion of substituent was increased, a significant reduction of the sodium content of up to 73% was observed. As the sodium was replaced by potassium in cheese, the potassium content increased significantly, stablishing a reduction of 82% in relation to the control. There was no effect to sodium substitution by potassium in fat, protein, ash and chlorides, as well as the pH values. The microbiological results were in accordance with the current legislation, therefore suitable to be eaten. According to the Free Profile Choice technique it was observed that the control C cheese (100% of NaCl) showed results very close to the other treatments, differing only in flavor attributes. The replacement of sodium by potassium in proportions of 20% contributed to a bitter taste detected by the tasters. Whereas, the appearance, flavor and texture attributes showed no significant differences compared to the Minas Padrão cheese.

Hoje em dia a preocupação ambiental e a economia são fatores de sustentabilidade que são tidos em conta em países desenvolvidos, especialmente no seio da União Europeia. Reduzir os consumos de energia é, portanto, um ponto-chave para a redução das emissões de gases com efeito de estufa e aumentar a dependência das energias renováveis. Consequentemente surge então a necessidade de aumentar a eficiência dos equipamentos, em particular no presente caso, equipamentos de refrigeração. Para isso foi adotado pela Comissão Europeia uma rotulagem nos produtos consumidores de energia, em particular na refrigeração, os frigoríficos e congeladores domésticos permitindo informar o consumidor para os equipamentos mais eficientes. Mais recentemente, frigoríficos comerciais e profissionais também terão obrigatoriedade de incluir um rótulo energético na parte externa dos mesmos. Nesses rótulos estão incluídas várias informações técnicas do aparelho representadas de uma forma compreensível e lúdica aos olhos do consumidor mais leigo, entre as quais as classes de eficiência energética. As classes de eficiência energética caracterizam-se pela componente tecnológica dos frigoríficos. Perceber quais os componentes e materiais em particular que promovem uma melhor eficiência, quantificar a sua influência e avaliar os seus custos de integração torna-se assim essencial para toda a cadeia envolvida na produção destes equipamentos. Os fluídos frigorigénios e compressores aparentam ser os que mais exercem influência na eficiência de frigoríficos de baixa potência. Tubos capilares com trocador de calor são uma escolha mais eficiente comparado com o tubo capilar padrão que é utilizado nestes frigoríficos. Por forma a obter informação adicional e relevante do ponto de vista da análise energética realizaram-se simulações para determinação do consumo elétrico anual com recurso ao software Pack Calculation Pro. Entre os fluídos frigorigénios R-134a, R-22 e R-410a, os compressores scroll apresentaram consumos mais reduzidos (no máximo de 16%) do que os compressores alternativos. No caso do amoníaco (R-717) os compressores alternativos consumiram em média 14% menos do que os compressores parafuso. O recurso a velocidade variável em compressores permite reduzir o consumo na ordem dos 25%. Válvulas de expansão eletrónicas trazem reduções no consumo de 1,5% quando comparadas com válvulas de expansão termostáticas em compressores de velocidade variável. O propano (R-290) é um gás que mostra ter um melhor desempenho do que o R-134a e R404a em vários compressores, consumindo 16% menos do que o R-404a. Em função da temperatura exterior, o R-290 também apresentou um bom desempenho consumindo em climas quentes (Belém, Brasil) 24% menos do que o R-404a.

The use of poorly water soluble molecules in pharmaceutical area has grown. Since these molecules exhibit low oral bioavailability, they are not used in intravenous administrations. Therefore, it is necessary to develop their new formulations with the aim to increase their oral bioavailabilities as to enable intravenous applications. One of the few possibilities in achieving this is a nanonization process that can produce crystals smaller than 1 μm by high pressure homogenization and without use of organic solvents. This mini-review describes technical aspects of the nanocrystal production, morphological aspects (polymorphisms), the market relevance of the nanocrystals products that are already in clinical phase or at the market, as well as, perspectives for the near future.

The aim of this research was to optimize osmotic dehydration of pineapple, according to two criteria: maximize water loss and minimize solid gain. The process was made as an application to Combined Methods Technology, in which three preservation factors were combined: water activity, pH and chemical preservatives, all being applied at low levels, in order to get a product resembling non-processed fruit. The experiment was divided into three treatments, being: non-coated pineapple pieces (A), pieces coated with alginate (B) and coated with low-methoxyl pectin (C). Process involved the following main steps: enzymatic inactivation of fruit pieces; in treatments B and C, incorporation of their respective coatings; and osmotic dehydration, in sucrose syrup containing potassium sorbate and citric acid. Optimum conditions, determined from Response Surface Methodology, were the following: dehydration of fruit pieces coated by alginate, at 42-47° C, in sucrose syrup at 66-69° Brix, for 220 to 270 minutes. Results indicated that both coatings significantly affected the mass transfers of the process, reducing solid incorporation and increasing water loss; therefore, increasing weight loss and performance ratio (water loss: solid incorporation) took place. Water activity was not significantly affected by the coatings. The product obtained under optimum conditions was submitted to sensorial evaluation, and presented a good general acceptance. Moulds and yeasts countings indicated good microbiological stability of the product for at least 60 days at 30ºC.
