O nitrato de fenticonazol é um derivado imidazólico de amplo espectro de ação contra patógenos dermatófitos, como Malassezia furfur e leveduras, a principal delas Candida albicans. É necessário que se possa garantir a qualidade dos medicamentos produzidos. O controle de qualidade é uma ferramenta que assegura a qualidade, eficácia e segurança desses produtos até o momento de sua utilização e faz-se necessário que métodos analíticos sejam desenvolvidos e validados para o doseamento desses fármacos. A grande importância dos métodos microbiológicos utilizados no controle de qualidade de fármacos com atividade antimicrobiana é demonstrar sua atividade biológica por meio de seu efeito inibitório no crescimento de micro-organismo. A diminuição da atividade antimicrobiana ou potência pode indicar alguma alteração sutil na molécula, que é pouco detectável em um método analítico físico-químico. O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver e validar o método microbiológico difusão em ágar para o produto nitrato de fenticonazol creme vaginal. O método de difusão em ágar foi desenvolvido utilizando meio de cultura ágar Sabouraud e cepa de Candida albicans ATCC 64548 como micro-organismo teste. Para o ensaio foi utilizado o delineamento 3 x 3, conforme preconiza a Farmacopeia Brasileira (2010). A validação do método proposto demonstrou linearidade entre os diâmetros dos halos de inibição e o logaritmo da concentração na faixa de 50,0 a 200,0 μg/mL.

A teicoplanina é um complexo antibiótico glicopeptídico derivado do Actinoplanes teichomyceticus, ativo contra bactérias Gram-positivas resistentes a outros antibióticos. Seu espectro de ação é similar ao da vancomicina, sendo, porém mais ativo para Streptococcus faecalis e Clostridium difficile. Seu uso é indicado para profilaxia de endocardite, peritonite, osteomielite e para septicemia estafilocócica. No Brasil, a teicoplanina é comercializada sob a forma farmacêutica de pó liofilizado, que deve ser reconstituído antes da administração. O medicamento de referência é o Targocid®, produzido pelo laboratório Sanofi-Aventis, em duas apresentações, 66 mg/mL e 133 mg/mL. A teicoplanina, bem como a vancomicina, inibe a síntese da parede celular bacteriana, pois a molécula se liga ao precursor da parede D-alanil-D-alanina, formando um complexo, impedindo a ligação à porção terminal do peptidoglicano, que é o alvo das enzimas transglicolase e transpeptidase. Desse modo, não há incorporação de aminoácidos aos glicopeptídeos integrantes da parede celular das bactérias Gram-positivas. No estudo de validação, foram aplicados os parâmetros de linearidade, intervalo, precisão, sensibilidade, especificidade, exatidão e robustez. O método desenvolvido e validado para a quantificação de teicoplanina pó liofilizado foi: Ensaio microbiológico por turbidimetria na faixa de concentração de 20,0 a 80,0 μg/mL, utilizando o micro-organismo Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228 IAL 2150. Os parâmetros estudados para a validação do método turbidimétrico atenderam a todas as especificações para a adequada quantificação de teicoplanina na forma farmacêutica pó liofilizado

Control charts are very important tools in statistical quality control of industrial processes and its use started last century. Since its development, the charts have always been attributed to independent processes, i.e. without any correlation between samples. But nowadays, with the high level of automation in the industrial environment, it is noticeable the autocorrelation factor between samples. The main Xcharts used in monitoring quality characteristics represented by continuous variables are the mean (X ), amplitude (R) and variance (S²). Therefore, this work aims to analyze the performance of X and R charts and in of X and S² charts with different sample sizes (4 and 5) for monitoring autocorrelated processes. Through computer simulations using the Fortran software and the use of mathematical expressions was possible to obtain data and performance analysis of the detection power charts for independent observations and for autocorrelated observations according to the model AR (1). The results show that the effect of autocorrelation reduces the ability of monitoring the control charts and that, the greater this effect, the slower the chart becomes in misfits signaling

In a globalized world, organizations face an increasingly dynamic, innovative and competitive environment, so that this condition requires continuous adaptation to market developments. Intense competition requires organizations to further improve their performance, making productive efficiency a key factor for survival. A methodology that has added value to the product through a reconfiguration of the production method is the implementation of a management philosophy called Lean Six Sigma. The main objective of this work is, in the light of the Lean Six Sigma philosophy, intervene in a critical-collaborative way to develop procedures for analyzing the profitability of products in a company specializing in steel processing. To achieve this goal, were applied the method of action-research to intervene in a group of professionals for the study of the profitability of products in a auto parts industry. The interaction of practical and theoretical knowledge provided by the action-research allowed the business program was enhanced. The procedures proposed in this study were able to identify the current profitability of the product, the main causes of inefficiency and productive for solutions to reduce production inefficiencies, when the productive systems planned and actual production system were compared. The results indicate that current profitability of -3%, while the parameter provided during budget was 10%. Thus, it is concluded that the low profitability of the products may compromise the company's financial results and affect their competitiveness in the market. To address this problem, the Lean Six Sigma presents itself as a versatile and high applicability philosophy, providing relevant results for characterization and troubleshooting. It was also observed that the evidence presented in this paper can be adapted to other companies in the metal auto parts segment to identify and recover the profitability of products
