O agir cotidiano dos gestores da Estratégia Saúde da Família em um município do Espírito Santo

O Sistema único de Saúde (SUS) pode ser considerado uma das maiores conquistas sociais consagradas na Constituição de 1988, representando a materialização de uma nova concepção acerca da saúde no Brasil. As diretrizes do SUS são importantes instrumentos indutores de mudanças e modernização da gestão, incluindo aspectos relativos à organização da assistência, como sua humanização e também a busca de maiores níveis de desempenho e responsabilidade institucional para com os resultados alcançados. Diversos autores tem se debruçado sobre o tema gestão, porém, qual o modelo de gestão que conseguiria combinar um papel ativo, de liderança e de coordenação para gestores com autonomia? Este estudo objetiva analisar a prática da gestão nos serviços de saúde do município de Itapemirim/ES, buscando compreender as múltiplas e complexas dimensões que orientam essa prática, tendo como principal fonte as entrevistas de seus gestores. O município adota uma política de gestão participativa na saúde com várias instâncias formais e pratica um investimento em saúde acima do preconizado pela Constituição Federal o que permite um investimento em estruturação e oferta de serviços públicos. Do ponto de vista metodológico, o estudo adota a abordagem qualitativa através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, focalizando a gestão como um mundo social e expressão dos processos presentes nas organizações e que atravessam os relatos coletados. Foram entrevistados três gestores, sendo esses, Secretário Municipal de Saúde, Diretora da Atenção Primária em Saúde e Coordenadora de Estratégia Saúde da Família do município de Itapemirim. A análise do material empírico teve como um de seus eixos o estudo do percurso profissional dos gestores, especialmente os processos que os levaram à função de gestão. A contingência marca essas trajetórias que se desenrolam em um contexto em que, em alguns dos casos, percebe-se que não existe qualquer exigência quanto à formação de gestão. Outro eixo abordado são as práticas de gestão onde são examinados os sentidos que o exercício da função de gestor tem para os sujeitos, como também as suas estratégias de trabalho, planejamento e ferramentas de uso. O exame das práticas de gestão norteia-se pela análise das possibilidades e limites para desencadear processos de mudança. Os depoimentos apontam as características dessas experiências de gestão, que procuram construir condições para processos de mudança, seja através das experiências anteriores desses gestores ou das estratégias de trabalho e do sistema de gestão articulado que procuram desenvolver. Os projetos profissionais dos gestores entrevistadas vão claramente se definindo no âmbito da gestão: se veem, não mais como profissionais de sua área de formação original (enfermeiro, farmacêutico ou cirurgião dentista), mas acima de tudo como gestores, alimentados pelo reconhecimento de suas capacidades de mobilização e de desenvolvimento de mudanças relativas a outras realizações no campo da gestão.

Um algoritmo PSO híbrido para planejamento de caminhos em navegação de veículos utilizando A*

Utilizar robôs autônomos capazes de planejar o seu caminho é um desafio que atrai vários pesquisadores na área de navegação de robôs. Neste contexto, este trabalho tem como objetivo implementar um algoritmo PSO híbrido para o planejamento de caminhos em ambientes estáticos para veículos holonômicos e não holonômicos. O algoritmo proposto possui duas fases: a primeira utiliza o algoritmo A* para encontrar uma trajetória inicial viável que o algoritmo PSO otimiza na segunda fase. Por fim, uma fase de pós planejamento pode ser aplicada no caminho a fim de adaptá-lo às restrições cinemáticas do veículo não holonômico. O modelo Ackerman foi considerado para os experimentos. O ambiente de simulação de robótica CARMEN (Carnegie Mellon Robot Navigation Toolkit) foi utilizado para realização de todos os experimentos computacionais considerando cinco instâncias de mapas geradas artificialmente com obstáculos. O desempenho do algoritmo desenvolvido, A*PSO, foi comparado com os algoritmos A*, PSO convencional e A* Estado Híbrido. A análise dos resultados indicou que o algoritmo A*PSO híbrido desenvolvido superou em qualidade de solução o PSO convencional. Apesar de ter encontrado melhores soluções em 40% das instâncias quando comparado com o A*, o A*PSO apresentou trajetórias com menos pontos de guinada. Investigando os resultados obtidos para o modelo não holonômico, o A*PSO obteve caminhos maiores entretanto mais suaves e seguros.

Mechanical Behavior of the Lamellar Structure in Semi-Crystalline Polymers

We have employed molecular dynamics simulations to study the behavior of virtual polymeric materials under an applied uniaxial tensile load. Through computer simulations, one can obtain experimentally inaccessible information about phenomena taking place at the molecular and microscopic levels. Not only can the global material response be monitored and characterized along time, but the response of macromolecular chains can be followed independently if desired. The computer-generated materials were created by emulating the step-wise polymerization, resulting in self-avoiding chains in 3D with controlled degree of orientation along a certain axis. These materials represent a simplified model of the lamellar structure of semi-crystalline polymers,being comprised of an amorphous region surrounded by two crystalline lamellar regions. For the simulations, a series of materials were created, varying i) the lamella thickness, ii) the amorphous region thickness, iii) the preferential chain orientation, and iv) the degree of packing of the amorphous region. Simulation results indicate that the lamella thickness has the strongest influence on the mechanical properties of the lamella-amorphous structure, which is in agreement with experimental data. The other morphological parameters also affect the mechanical response, but to a smaller degree. This research follows previous simulation work on the crack formation and propagation phenomena, deformation mechanisms at the nanoscale, and the influence of the loading conditions on the material response. Computer simulations can improve the fundamental understanding about the phenomena responsible for the behavior of polymeric materials, and will eventually lead to the design of knowledge-based materials with improved properties.

Kidney targeting and puncturing during percutaneous nephrolithotomy: recent advances and future perspectives

Background and Purpose: Precise needle puncture of the kidney is a challenging and essential step for successful percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Many devices and surgical techniques have been developed to easily achieve suitable renal access. This article presents a critical review to address the methodologies and techniques for conducting kidney targeting and the puncture step during PCNL. Based on this study, research paths are also provided for PCNL procedure improvement. Methods: Most relevant works concerning PCNL puncture were identified by a search of Medline/PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus databases from 2007 to December 2012. Two authors independently reviewed the studies. Results: A total of 911 abstracts and 346 full-text articles were assessed and discussed; 52 were included in this review as a summary of the main contributions to kidney targeting and puncturing. Conclusions: Multiple paths and technologic advances have been proposed in the field of urology and minimally invasive surgery to improve PCNL puncture. The most relevant contributions, however, have been provided by the applicationofmedical imaging guidance, newsurgical tools,motion tracking systems, robotics, andimage processing and computer graphics. Despite the multiple research paths for PCNL puncture guidance, no widely acceptable solution has yet been reached, and it remains an active and challenging research field. Future developments should focus on real-time methods, robust and accurate algorithms, and radiation free imaging techniques

Novel structure for large area image sensing

This work presents preliminary results in the study of a novel structure for a laser scanned photodiode (LSP) type of image sensor. In order to increase the signal output, a stacked p-i-n-p-i-n structure with an intermediate light-blocking layer is used. The image and the scanning beam are incident through opposite sides of the sensor and their absorption is kept in separate junctions by an intermediate light-blocking layer. As in the usual LSP structure the scanning beam-induced photocurrent is dependent on the local illumination conditions of the image. The main difference between the two structures arises from the fact that in this new structure the image and the scanner have different optical paths leading to an increase in the photocurrent when the scanning beam is incident on a region illuminated on the image side of the sensor, while a decreasing in the photocurrent was observed in the single junction LSP. The results show that the structure can be successfully used as an image sensor even though some optimization is needed to enhance the performance of the device.

Eastwards / westwards: which direction for gender studies in the 21st century?

Eastwards / Westwards: Which Direction for Gender Studies in the XXIst Century? is a collection of essays which focus on themes and methods that characterize current research into gender in Asian countries in general. In this collection, ideas derived from Gender Studies elsewhere in the world have been subjected to scrutiny for their utility in helping to describe and understand regional phenomena. But the concepts of Local and Global – with their discoursive productions – have not functioned as a binary opposition: localism and globalism are mutually constitutive and researchers have interrogated those spaces of interaction between the ‘self’ and the ‘other’, bearing in mind their own embeddedness in social and cultural structures and their own historical memory. Contributors to this collection provided a critical transnational perspective on some of the complex effects of the dynamics of cultural globalization, by exploring the relation between gender and development, language, historiography, education and culture. We have also given attention to the ideological and rhetorical processes through which gender identity is constructed, by comparing textual grids and patterns of expectation. Likewise, we have discussed the role of ethnography, anthropology, historiography, sociology, fiction, popular culture and colonial and post-colonial sources in (re)inventing old/new male/female identities, their conversion into concepts and circulation through time and space. This multicultural and trans-disciplinary selection of essays is totally written in English, fully edited and revised, therefore, it has a good potential for an immediate international circulation. This project may trace new paths and issues for discussion on what concerns the life, practices and narratives by and about women in Asia, as well as elsewhere in the present day global experience. Academic readership: Researchers, scholars, educators, graduate and post-graduate students, doctoral students and general non-fiction readers, with a special interest in Gender Studies, Asia, Colonial and Post-Colonial Literature, Anthropology, Cultural Studies, History, Historiography, Politics, Race, Feminism, Language, Linguistics, Power, Political and Feminist Agendas, Popular Culture, Education, Women’s Writing, Religion, Multiculturalism, Globalisation, Migration. Chapter summary: 1. “Social Gender Stereotypes and their Implication in Hindi”, Anjali Pande, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. This essay looks at the subtle ways in which gender identities are constructed and reinforced in India through social norms of language use. Language itself becomes a medium for perpetuating gender stereotypes, forcing its speakers to confirm to socially defined gender roles. Using examples from a classroom discussion about a film, this essay will highlight the underlying rigid male-female stereotypes in Indian society with their more obvious expressions in language. For the urban woman in India globalisation meant increased economic equality and exposure to changed lifestyles. On an individual level it also meant redefining gender relations and changing the hierarchy in man-­woman relationships. With the economic independence there is a heightened sense of liberation in all spheres of social life, a confidence to fuzz the rigid boundaries of gender roles. With the new films and media celebrating this liberated woman, who is ready to assert her sexual needs, who is ready to explode those long held notions of morality, one would expect that the changes are not just superficial. But as it soon became obvious in the course of a classroom discussion about relationships and stereotypes related to age, the surface changes can not become part of the common vocabulary, for the obvious reason that there is still a vast gap between the screen image of this new woman and the ground reality. Social considerations define the limits of this assertiveness of women, whereas men are happy to be liberal within the larger frame of social sanctions. The educated urban woman in India speaks in favour of change and the educated urban male supports her, but one just needs to scratch the surface to see the time tested formulae of gender roles firmly in place. The way the urban woman happily balances this emerging promise of independence with her gendered social identity, makes it necessary to rethink some aspects of looking at gender in a gradually changing, traditional society like India. 2. “The Linguistic Dimension of Gender Equality”, Alissa Tolstokorova, Kiev Centre for Gender Information and Education, Ukraine. The subject-matter of this essay is gender justice in language which, as I argue, may be achieved through the development of a gender-related approach to linguistic human rights. The last decades of the 20th century, globally marked by a “gender shift” in attitudes to language policy, gave impetus to the social movement for promoting linguistic gender equality. It was initiated in Western Europe and nowadays is moving eastwards, as ideas of gender democracy progress into developing countries. But, while in western societies gender discrimination through language, or linguistic sexism, was an issue of concern for over three decades, in developing countries efforts to promote gender justice in language are only in their infancy. My argument is that to promote gender justice in language internationally it is necessary to acknowledge the rights of women and men to equal representation of their gender in language and speech and, therefore, raise a question of linguistic rights of the sexes. My understanding is that the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights in 1996 provided this opportunity to address the problem of gender justice in language as a human rights issue, specifically as a gender dimension of linguistic human rights. 3. “The Rebirth of an Old Language: Issues of Gender Equality in Kazakhstan”, Maria Helena Guimarães, Polytechnic Institute of Porto, Portugal. The existing language situation in Kazakhstan, while peaceful, is not without some tension. We propose to analyze here some questions we consider relevant in the frame of cultural globalization and gender equality, such as: free from Russian imperialism, could Kazakhstan become an easy prey of Turkey’s “imperialist dream”? Could these traditionally Muslim people be soon facing the end of religious tolerance and gender equality, becoming this new old language an easy instrument for the infiltration in the country of fundamentalism (it has already crossed the boarders of Uzbekistan), leading to a gradual deterioration of its rich multicultural relations? The present structure of the language is still very fragile: there are three main dialects and many academics defend the re-introduction of the Latin alphabet, thus enlarging the possibility of cultural “contamination” by making the transmission of fundamentalist ideas still easier through neighbour countries like Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan (their languages belong to the same sub-group of Common Turkic), where the Latin alphabet is already in use, and where the ground for such ideas shown itself very fruitful. 4. “Construction of Womanhood in the Bengali Language of Bangladesh”, Raasheed Mahmood; University of New South Wales, Sydney. The present essay attempts to explore the role of gender-based language differences and of certain markers that reveal the status accorded to women in Bangladesh. Discrimination against women, in its various forms, is endemic in communities and countries around the world, cutting across class, race, age, and religious and national boundaries. One cannot understand the problems of gender discrimination solely by referring to the relationship of power or authority between men and women. Rather one needs to consider the problem by relating it to the specific social formation in which the image of masculinity and femininity is constructed and reconstructed. Following such line of reasoning this essay will examine the nature of gender bias in the Bengali language of Bangladesh, holding the conviction that as a product of social reality language reflects the socio-cultural behaviour of the community who speaks it. This essay will also attempt to shed some light on the processes through which gender based language differences produce actual consequences for women, who become exposed to low self-esteem, depression and systematic exclusion from public discourse. 5. “Marriage in China as an expression of a changing society”, Elisabetta Rosado David, University of Porto, Portugal, and Università Ca’Foscari, Venezia, Italy. In 29 April 2001, the new Marriage Law was promulgated in China. The first law on marriage was proclaimed in 1950 with the objective of freeing women from the feudal matrimonial system. With the second law, in 1981, values and conditions that had been distorted by the Cultural Revolution were recovered. Twenty years later, a new reform was started, intending to update marriage in the view of the social and cultural changes that occurred with Deng Xiaoping’s “open policy”. But the legal reform is only the starting point for this case-study. The rituals that are followed in the wedding ceremony are often hard to understand and very difficult to standardize, especially because China is a vast country, densely populated and characterized by several ethnic minorities. Two key words emerge from this issue: syncretism and continuity. On this basis, we can understand tradition in a better way, and analyse whether or not marriage, as every social manifestation, has evolved in harmony with Chinese culture. 6. “The Other Woman in the Portuguese Colonial Empire: The Case of Portuguese India”, Maria de Deus Manso, University of Évora, Portugal. This essay researches the social, cultural and symbolic history of local women in the Portuguese Indian colonial enclaves. The normative Portuguese overseas history has not paid any attention to the “indigenous” female populations in colonial Portuguese territories, albeit the large social importance of these social segments largely used in matrimonial and even catholic missionary strategies. The first attempt to open fresh windows in the history of this new field was the publication of Charles Boxer’s referential study about Women in lberian Overseas Expansion, edited in Portugal only after the Revolution of 1975. After this research we can only quote some other fragmentary efforts. In fact, research about the social, cultural, religious, political and symbolic situation of women in the Portuguese colonial territories, from the XVI to the XX century, is still a minor historiographic field. In this essay we discuss this problem and we study colonial representations of women in the Portuguese Indian enclaves, mainly in the territory of Goa, using case studies methodologies. 7. “Heading East this Time: Critical Readings on Gender in Southeast Asia”, Clara Sarmento, Polytechnic Institute of Porto, Portugal. This essay intends to discuss some critical readings of fictional and theoretical texts on gender condition in Southeast Asian countries. Nowadays, many texts about women in Southeast Asia apply concepts of power in unusual areas. Traditional forms of gender hegemony have been replaced by other powerful, if somewhat more covert, forms. We will discuss some universal values concerning conventional female roles as well as the strategies used to recognize women in political fields traditionally characterized by male dominance. Female empowerment will mean different things at different times in history, as a result of culture, local geography and individual circumstances. Empowerment needs to be perceived as an individual attitude, but it also has to be facilitated at the macro­level by society and the State. Gender is very much at the heart of all these dynamics, strongly related to specificities of historical, cultural, ethnic and class situatedness, requiring an interdisciplinary transnational approach.

Agressividade e índice de Apgar

A agressividade é o comportamento que surge transversalmente como queixa isolada ou a par de outras queixas na maioria das crianças com e sem doença, que procuram apoio em saúde mental infantil. Nessas crianças, e a partir da recolha dos dados anamnesicos, tem-se verificado a constância de registo, no Livro do Bebé, de Índice de Apgar ≤ 9 ao primeiro minuto. Este estudo exploratório pretendeu analisar a hipótese teórica de que o Índice de Apgar abaixo de 10 ao primeiro minuto pode ser representativo de sofrimento fetal intraparto ou perinatal e assim fragilizar os circuitos neuronais das emoções tendo como consequência o surgimento, ao longo do desenvolvimento infantil e juvenil, de dificuldades na capacidade de gestão ou controlo das emoções, com comportamentos opositivos e/ou agressivos, como resposta defensiva de luta e fuga. Utilizou-se uma amostra de crianças inscritas no serviço de consulta externa de saúde mental infantil e juvenil, e verificou-se se as queixas de perturbação do comportamento com agressividade, formuladas no momento do acolhimento ao serviço, estão relacionadas com o Índice de Apgar ≤ 9 ao primeiro minuto e/ou com os registos de sofrimento fetal. Procurou-se, numa amostra aleatória de crianças sem queixa formulada no serviço de consulta externa de saúde mental infantil e juvenil, perceber as diferenças ou semelhanças dos registos de nascimento relativamente à amostra de crianças inscritas. Foi ainda auscultada a opinião dos profissionais dos serviços de obstetrícia e neonatologia – pediatria, mediante a aplicação de um questionário, no sentido de recolher as opiniões dos profissionais de saúde que lidam com o parto, que avaliam o Índice de Apgar dos recém – nascidos e que os seguem durante as primeiras horas ou dias de vida. Das conclusões a que chegamos, salienta-se que o sofrimento fetal intraparto pode ser predictor de dificuldades de controlo emocional traduzidas em alterações do comportamento com agressividade em situações de stress. Não se conclui que o Índice de Apgar ≤ 9 pode ser predictor de alterações do comportamento com agressividade em situações de stress, uma vez que os registos de ocorrências de sofrimento fetal intraparto e os registos do Índice de Apgar ao primeiro minuto são, na amostra de crianças com queixa, díspares, relacionando-se no entanto de modo estatisticamente significativo na amostra de crianças sem queixa. III No entanto, e apesar das dificuldades metodológicas, fica a certeza de haver mais percursos a percorrer nesta direcção para a compreensão dos distúrbios emocionais e a agressividade.

Supporting leadership development by exposure to role models: two case studies

The idiomatic expression “In Rome be a Roman” can be applied to leadership training and development as well. Leaders who can act as role models inspire other future leaders in their behaviour, attitudes and ways of thinking. Based on two examples of current leaders in the fields of Politics and Public Administration, I support the idea that exposure to role models during their training was decisive for their career paths and current activities as prominent characters in their profession. Issues such as how students should be prepared for community or national leadership as well as cross-cultural engagement are raised here. The hypothesis of transculturalism and cross-cultural commitment as a factor of leadership is presented. Based on current literature on Leadership as well as the presented case studies, I expect to raise a debate focusing on strategies for improving leaders’ training in their cross-cultural awareness.

Language and trade: the (new) route of portuguese in the 21st century

Globalisation has eliminated frontiers and in the case of Europe helped the crossing of borders and changed forever the concept of social (and I would also say individual) geography: the rest of the world is out there; we can pretend not to see it, but we cannot avoid it. Moreover, Europe is undergoing a serious crisis, also economic, and new markets and business partners are welcome. In this context, cultural bonds like a common language can open new investment paths and give rise to successful stories. In this paper we intend to present an example of how low linguistic distance can lead to good business, even if a) in the internationalization process of the companies’ language is often forgotten as a management element and b) consumers of language products (like User Guides) are also not stimulating investment in language by the companies. Through the results of 2 studies carried out in 2010 and 2011 we will show how a pluricentric language like Portuguese is managed in multinational companies (MC) and Small and medium Enterprises (SMEs). The second study is based on an online survey questioning the effectiveness, efficiency and general quality of User Guides and the reaction of consumers to language. Results show that although playing a role in the internationalization process of companies in the same linguistic space, language is opportunistically used. On the other hand, Portuguese and Brazilian consumers show a very functional perception of the Portuguese language...

Perfil sociodemográfico e de padrões de uso entre dependentes de cocaína hospitalizados

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o perfil sociodemográfico e o padrão de uso da cocaína entre usuários de drogas hospitalizados. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal com dependentes químicos maiores de 18 anos, internados em alguns hospitais psiquiátricos da região metropolitana da Grande São Paulo, Brasil, com condições clínicas de responder a questionário padronizado e que concordaram em participar do estudo. Foram selecionados seis hospitais psiquiátricos que recebiam, por procura espontânea, pacientes da rede pública e privada de toda a região da Grande São Paulo. A coleta de informações foi feita por meio de entrevistas estruturadas, aplicada individualmente por psicóloga treinada. Para análise estatística utilizou-se do teste t de Sudent e Qui-quadrado, e o nível de significância foi fixado em 5%. RESULTADOS: Encontrou-se maior taxa (38,4%) de usuários de crack e pequena prevalência (1,6%) de usuários de drogas injetáveis. Os dependentes de cocaína fumada apresentavam baixa escolaridade, encontravam-se mais freqüentemente desempregados, haviam morado nas ruas, usavam maiores quantidades de droga e tinham sido presos em maior número de vezes do que aqueles que usavam outras vias de administração da droga. CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados sugerem que o uso de drogas é um grave problema de saúde pública na Grande São Paulo, mostrado pelo número de internações hospitalares por dependência. Os usuários de crack apresentam pior condição socioeconômica e maior envolvimento com a violência e a criminalidade.

Freqüência de jogo patológico entre farmacodependentes em tratamento

OBJETIVO: Investigar a freqüência de jogo patológico entre dependentes de álcool e/ou outras drogas que procuraram tratamento em serviço especializado. MÉTODOS: Foram entrevistados 74 pacientes de três serviços especializados em tratamento de farmacodependência. Para diagnóstico de jogo patológico foi utilizada a escala SOGS (South Oaks Gambling Screen). O diagnóstico de dependência de álcool e de outras drogas foi estabelecido a partir dos critérios do DSM-IV e da escala SADD (Short Alcohol Dependence Data). Foram aplicadas as versões brasileiras das escalas SRQ (Self Report Questionnaire) para detecção de sintomas de psiquiátricos e CES-D (Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale) para sintomas depressivos. As médias da pontuação obtida nessas escalas foram comparadas pelo teste t de Student. RESULTADOS: Todos os sujeitos preencheram critério para farmacodependência, sendo que 61,6% preencheram critérios para dependência de álcool 60,3% para cocaína/crack, e 34,2% para maconha. Segundo a escala SOGS, a maioria dos farmacodependentes (70,3%) foi classificada como jogador social, 10,8% como "jogador problema" e 18,9% como jogador patológico. Confirmou-se a presença de sintomas psiquiátricos e depressão na amostra. Pacientes jogadores patológicos apresentaram mais sintomas depressivos que pacientes não jogadores patológicos. CONCLUSÕES: Foi encontrada alta freqüência de jogo patológico entre os farmacodependentes entrevistados. Os resultados mostram a importância da investigação de jogo patológico em pacientes farmacodependentes e inclusão de estratégias para o tratamento desse transtorno nos programas de tratamento.
