Uma sala de controle de reatores nucleares é um sistema complexo que controla um processo termodinâmico usado para produzir energia elétrica. Os operadores interagem com a sala de controle através de "interfaces", que apresentam implicações significantes para a segurança da planta nuclear, pois afetam o modo como os operadores interagem com a sala de controle. Após o acidente de TMI, os projetistas procuram adotar no projeto de salas de controle de reatores nucleares práticas de projeto, que contemplam somente a inclusão de normas internacionais de fatores humanos. A proposta deste trabalho é a de incluir no projeto e modernização de novas salas de controle e na avaliação da sala de controle de ANGRA II, uma metodologia que inclua além da normatização internacional de fatores humanos, a realidade da atividade dos operadores em sala de controle

A Análise Ergonômica do Trabalho é um método inserido no campo da Ergonomia, que tem como objetivo descrever a situação de trabalho de forma compreensiva e suficiente. A principal característica da Análise Ergonômica do Trabalho está relacionada com a adoção de uma prática oposta ao experimentalismo puro, ou seja, visa obter e buscar conhecimentos através da análise de situações de trabalho em ambiente real, em situações reais de trabalho. O detalhamento da intervenção ergonômica requerida na sala de controle do Reator Argonauta possui uma magnitude que fogo ao escopo do presente trabalho. Podemos considerar que realizamos uma Análise da Demanda e Estudos Preliminares nas instalações do Reator Argonauta, correspondendo as duas primeiras etapas de uma intervenção ergonômica. O objetivo inicial do nosso estudo é prover subsídios objetivando a modernização desta sala de controle, em função de aspectos como melhorar a segurança, facilitar a manutenção, evitar a obsolescência de equipamentos e sistemas, e garantir que esta modernização traga uma efetiva melhoria nas condições de trabalho dos operadores do reator.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) whose migration from food packaging is recognized worldwide. However, the real overall food contamination and related consequences are yet largely unknown. Among humans, children’s exposure to BPA has been emphasized because of the immaturity of their biological systems. The main aim of this study was to assess the reproductive impact of BPA leached from commercially available plastic containers used or related to child nutrition, performing ecotoxicological tests using the biomonitoring species Daphnia magna. Acute and chronic tests, as well as single and multigenerational tests were done. Migration of BPA from several baby bottles and other plastic containers evaluated by GC-MS indicated that a broader range of foodstuff may be contaminated when packed in plastics. Ecotoxicological test results performed using defined concentrations of BPA were in agreement with literature, although a precocious maturity of daphnids was detected at 3.0 mg/L. Curiously, an increased reproductive output (neonates per female) was observed when daphnids were bred in the polycarbonate (PC) containers (145.1±4.3 % to 264.7±3.8 %), both in single as in multigenerational tests, in comparison with the negative control group (100.3±1.6 %). A strong correlated dose-dependent ecotoxicological effect was observed, providing evidence that BPA leached from plastic food packaging materials act as functional estrogen in vivo at very low concentrations. In contrast, neonate production by daphnids cultured in polypropylene and non-PC bottles was slightly but not significantly enhanced (92.5±2.0 % to 118.8±1.8 %). Multigenerational tests also revealed magnification of the adverse effects, not only on fecundity but also on mortality, which represents a worrying trend for organisms that are chronically exposed to xenoestrogens for many generations. Two plausible explanations for the observed results could be given: a non-monotonic dose–response relationship or a mixture toxicity effect.

Cerebral microangiopathy (CMA) has been associated with executive dysfunction and fronto-parietal neural network disruption. Advances in magnetic resonance imaging allow more detailed analyses of gray (e.g., voxel-based morphometry-VBM) and white matter (e.g., diffusion tensor imaging-DTI) than traditional visual rating scales. The current study investigated patients with early CMA and healthy control subjects with all three approaches. Neuropsychological assessment focused on executive functions, the cognitive domain most discussed in CMA. The DTI and age-related white matter changes rating scales revealed convergent results showing widespread white matter changes in early CMA. Correlations were found in frontal and parietal areas exclusively with speeded, but not with speed-corrected executive measures. The VBM analyses showed reduced gray matter in frontal areas. All three approaches confirmed the hypothesized fronto-parietal network disruption in early CMA. Innovative methods (DTI) converged with results from conventional methods (visual rating) while allowing greater spatial and tissue accuracy. They are thus valid additions to the analysis of neural correlates of cognitive dysfunction. We found a clear distinction between speeded and nonspeeded executive measures in relationship to imaging parameters. Cognitive slowing is related to disease severity in early CMA and therefore important for early diagnostics.

Se analizaron 538 estómagos de anchoveta, colectados entre el 24 de agosto y 17 de setiembre de 1998. La anchoveta se alimentó principalmente de copépodos y eufaúsidos y en menor cantidad de diatomeas y dinoflagelados. La similitud alimentaria latitudinal fue significativa entre las zonas 11°02 'S y 15°59 'S, basada en el alto consumo de organismos zooplanctónicos. La ración diaria de alimentación ha disminuido en 26,6% y se ha incrementado en 22,4% respecto a la obtenida en los cruceros 9709-10 y 9803-05. Estos cambios dependerían de las condiciones ambientales propiciadas por El Niño 1997-98

Resultados obtenidos del análisis de muestras de zooplancton antártico colectadas en el Estrecho de Bransfield y alrededores de la Isla Elefante en enero de 1998. Los volúmenes totales de zooplancton fluctuaron entre 1,3 y 1147,1 mL/1000 m3. El zooplancton estuvo constituido principalmente por copépodos, salpas, eufáusidos y quetognatos, Los copépodos y las salpas fueron los más frecuentes; los copépodos presentaron la mayor diversidad, mientras que las salpas tuvieron las mayores abundancias. Se determinaron 9 especies de larvas de peces, siendo Notolepis coatsi las más frecuente y Nothotenia gibberifrons, la más abundante. En el análisis de comunidades se estableció biológicamente la presencia de dos conglomerados principales, el primero que corresponde a la zona central del Estrecho de Bransfield y el segundo a la zona oriental hacia el mar de Wedell y la Isla Elefante.

During transapical transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TA-TAVR), the apical closure remains a challenge for the surgeon, having the risk for ventricular tear and massive bleeding. Apical closure devices are already under clinical evaluation, but only a few can lead to a full percutaneous TA-TAVR. We describe the successful use of a 9-mm myocardial occluder (ventricular septal defect occluder) that was used to seal the apex after a standard TA-TAVR (using the Sapien XT 23-mm transcatheter valve and the Ascendra + delivery system). The placement of the nonmodified myocardial occluder was performed through the Ascendra + delivery system, with a very small amount of blood loss and an acceptable sealing of the apical tear. This approach is feasible and represents a further step toward true-percutaneous transapical heart valve procedures. Modified apical occluders are under evaluation in animal models.
