Las Residencias Convivenciales a la luz de la Protección Integral : Un análisis de la relación entre el Estado y las ONG's

El presente trabajo plantea un debate sobre un tipo particular de dispositivo de acogimiento de niñas, niños y adolescentes, en situaciones de vulnerabilidad social las Residencias Convivenciales. Partimos de un momento histórico-social condicionado por la irrupción de los discursos de la Convención Internacional de los Derechos del Niño. Esta decisión responde a dos criterios. Por un lado, criterios metodológicos, debido a la necesidad de establecer un "corte" en la compleja realidad histórica. Por el otro, criterios políticos, ya que la "era de la Convención" determinó un notable crecimiento del número de dispositivos pertenecientes a Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil destinados al acogimiento de niños y adolescentes, con la simultánea adopción por parte del Estado de Políticas Públicas de Infancia signadas por la tercerización de servicios. En este contexto, centramos el análisis en la relación entre el Estado y las Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil destinadas al acogimiento de niños, reflexionando críticamente sobre la forma y contenido de esa relación

Recanto do vale do pium: condomínio de habitações com ênfase no baixo impacto ambiental e no desempenho térmico do ambiente construído

This work describes the design process of a small recreational gated community in Pium, Nísia Floresta/RN, from concept to final design stages, with emphasis on low environmental impact, thermal comfort and the spatial quality of housing. The process consisted in a review of the literature and relevant standards, studies of design references and architectural programming. The project development was initially focused on the project’s feasibility, with the definition of the number of units, implantation, size and location of the dwellings and the common areas of the development. Two types of houses (four low rise and five duplex units) have been proposed in order to attend the premises of architectural programming. The conception of the architectural design began with the rooms’ zoning according to the lots. This resulted in the pre-selection of three alternatives that were evaluated in terms of spatial quality and environmental performance. The development of sketches focused on the envelope consistent with the bioclimatic guidelines and on the language of the compatible proposal with the lowest possible environmental impact of the building system, which resulted in the selection of the eucalyptus wood type. During the working drawings, the Quality Technical Regulation for the Level of Energy Efficiency Residential Buildings (RTQ -R) was adopted for the evaluation of the envelope, which resulted in "B" level of efficiency for the first case. After minor adjustments, mainly in frames, the efficiency level rose to "A", demonstrating that early project decisions contributed to the envelope energy performance. Besides the design of the two types of units, the final proposal of the gated community includes the design of the equipment for the common areas (entrance, multipurpose room and support and service sector), and the descriptive texts explaining the project and construction’s details.

O conforto do idoso em pós-operatório na perspectiva do enfermeiro

Objetivou-se identificar o cuidado realizado pelo enfermeiro para o conforto de pacientes idosos em pós-operatório. Especificamente objetivou-se: 1) Identificar a perspectiva dos enfermeiros sobre os desconfortos nos contextos físico, psicoespiritual, ambiental e sociocultural evidenciados em idosos no pós-operatório; 2) Verificar as características definidoras e os fatores relacionados inseridos ao diagnóstico de enfermagem conforto prejudicado, identificados pelos enfermeiros no idoso em pós-operatório; 3) Identificar as intervenções de enfermagem para promoção do conforto ao idoso em pós-operatório realizadas pelos enfermeiros no seu cuidar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, de abordagem quantitativa, desenvolvida em um hospital universitário do Município de Natal/RN, Brasil. A população foi constituída pelos 30 enfermeiros que trabalhavam em unidades de internação cirúrgica e terapia intensiva e que prestavam atendimento à pacientes idosos em pós-operatório. Consideraram-se critérios de inclusão: ter tempo mínimo de seis meses de atividade no setor e fazer parte da escala de serviço no período da coleta dos dados. Como critérios de exclusão: estar de licença ou férias no momento da coleta de dados. Toda população formou o grupo de sujeitos do estudo. A coleta de dados foi concretizada em maio e junho de 2014 utilizando um questionário autoexplicativo, composto por quatro partes: I - Caracterização dos enfermeiros; II - Necessidades de conforto do idoso no pós-operatório; III - Diagnóstico de Enfermagem; IV - Intervenções de enfermagem. O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa (CEP) da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, sob CAAE25976613.7.0000.5537. Os dados foram tabulados no Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.0 e apresentados utilizando-se frequências, percentuais e medidas de tendência central. Os resultados mostram que 96,7% dos enfermeiros conceituaram conforto como sinônimo de bem-estar. Houve maior frequência do desconforto dor (100%), ruídos excessivos (56,7%), sensação de deslocamento do ambiente residencial (76,7%) e ansiedade (93,3%). Os enfermeiros evidenciaram como sinais e sintomas que caracterizam o desconforto do idoso após cirurgia, principalmente: dor (75,9%), inquietação (58,6%), sinais vitais (41,4%) e ansiedade (34,5%). O principal fator relacionado foi o efeito secundário relacionado ao tratamento (88%). As principais intervenções realizadas foram: ouvir atentamente (100%) e controle da dor (100%). Estas foram igualmente analisadas como prioritárias para esta ação de cuidado, na porcentagem de 76,7% e 66,7%, respectivamente. Conclui-se que os enfermeiros identificam os desconfortos que afetam os idosos no pós-operatório na diversidade dos contextos estudados, com uma ênfase maior aos desconfortos físicos e em especial, a dor. Além disso, possuem uma percepção ampliada sobre os possíveis sinais e sintomas apresentados pelos idosos em pós-operatório quando estão desconfortáveis, uma vez que evidenciam outras 12 características não previstas no Diagnóstico de Enfermagem Conforto prejudicado e também identificam os fatores relacionados a estes desconfortos. Entretanto, apesar de afirmarem que realizam intervenções para amenizá-los e as registrarem, estes dados não podem ser afirmados que se trata de um padrão da prática destes profissionais, uma vez que não foi realizado a observação do cuidado prestado a esta clientela nem avaliação dos prontuários.

Sistema detector de vazamentos em instalações prediais de água fria

Building installations of cold water are key parts in any model of housing, are homes or condos. However, these systems are subject to failure, which can range from a leak in a device until faults in the structure of water reservoirs and distribution system. These faults are responsible for great economic and environmental costs. In order to reduce these losses, this work proposes the development of a system able to detect the presence and identify some types of water leaks that may occur. For implementation and testing, consumption model was used in a simulator capable of reproducing a similar behavior to a real model and its consequent failures. The detection of leaks is done based on an expert like model having two detection modules, one active and one passive, which use an array of sensors and actuators (valves) to do the sensing. For testing and implementation has been developed a software capable of coupling the system simulator and detector. From the results it can be seen that the system proposed in this work, as well as functioning satisfactorily, can be easily implemented in microcontrollers or embedded systems due to its simplicity.

A compreensão de crianças em situação de acolhimento institucional acerca dos seus direitos

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo investigar cómo niños de cinco años de edad, acogidos en una organización no gubernamental en forma de casa-hogar, en la ciudad de Caicó-RN, entienden sus derechos, teniendo en cuenta sus experiencias y vivencias cotidianas. Fueron realizadas entrevistas semi-estructuradas con el equipo de acogimiento de la institución, con el gestor, y con las cuidadoras residentes responsables de las casas-hogares. Con los niños, fueron utilizados métodos participativos con el fin de potenciar la expresión de los niños, tales como juegos, videos y fotos. Se pudo observar que algunos niños no tienen comprensión de su situación como sujetos de derechos. Sin embargo, apuntan a una serie de derechos específicos como se fueran derechos de los niños, con énfasis en lo derecho a tener una familia y una casa, el juego y la educación. La figura materna aparece como uno de los principales responsables de proteger estos derechos, y la escuela se presenta como un espacio que permite, además de la educación, la convivencia comunitaria, el juego y la alimentación.

O processo de elaboração do plano de preservação do conjunto urbanístico de Brasília: uma representação conceitual da política de preservação urbana no DF

This research aims to provide a reflection on the preservation practices of Brasilia as Cultural Heritage in four analytical/political dimensions: conceptual, urban, political-institutional and legal. In order to do that, the preparation process for the Plan for the Preservation of Brasilia Urban Set (PPCUB) was taken as research object. This preservation plan is representative of the context which determines the relation between goals and preservation practices in the social production process of urban space. Designed by Lucio Costa in 1957, Brasilia received the Cultural Heritage title 27 years later, in 1987. It was recognized a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural (UNESCO) in the same year as it "represents a unique artistic piece of work, a masterpiece of creative genius"; and "an outstanding example of a type of construction or architectural compound that illustrates a significant stage in history" (SILVA, 2003). Brasilia’s urban conception, also recognised in the district and federal levels, gives prominence to the 'urban scales' – monumental, residential, gregarious and bucolic – as the main aspects to be preserved. Despite being an undoubted representative, Brasilia seemingly displays a contradiction. On the one hand, the essential value of the city’s urban design is acknowledged as cultural heritage at international, national and district levels. On the other hand, numerous ways of urban interventions disregard the principles of that conception. In 2012, the international Monitoring Report raised some issues which highlight the following main needs: primary need for clear definition of the urban scales’ characteristics and boundaries; definition of a legal framework that conciliates national and district laws of occupation and use of land; creation of inter-sectors executive authority with both decision-making and financial autonomy; and promotion of heritage educational programs. This report also proposes "to cancel the current process of approval conducted by PPCUB and establish a formal consultation process through a committee made up by GDF and IPHAN, which will enable the active participation of University of Brasilia, the Architects Association, ICOMOS and local organizations" (SEDHAB, 2010). Already in its drafting process, the international recommendations evidence that preserving Brasilia’s urban design conception is not among the goals to be achieved. Thus, this research highlights that the intentional nature of PPCUB’s plans does little towards realizing the current proposals.

Análise do impacto do sombreamento vegetal no conforto termo-luminoso em edificações no clima quente e úmido

Este trabalho visa analisar o potencial do sombreamento vegetal no edifício para promover conforto térmico, luminoso e eficiência energética, a partir de simulações computacionais nos softwares DesignBuilder e Daysim. Foram simuladas diferentes combinações de fator de céu visível (FCV), transparência da copa vegetal e percentual de abertura da fachada (PAF) para edificação residencial térrea em Nata/RN, a fim de quantificar os impactos e propor recomendações projetuais. Os modelos foram analisados por meio do método de conforto adaptativo indicado pela ASHRAE Standard 55 (ASHRAE, 2010), classificação do nível de eficiência energética do Regulamento Técnico da Qualidade para o Nível de Eficiência Energética de Edificações Residenciais (RTQ-R), resultados de Daylight autonomy (DA) e uniformidade da luz natural para as exigências lumínicas de 100-300-500 lux. Os resultados demonstram grande potencial para integração da vegetação na edificação, principalmente para os fatores de céu médio e grande, e falta de coerência do RTQ-R para classificar as edificações da Zona bioclimática 08 pelo método de simulação.

O centro de Fortaleza como lugar de moradia

The present study has the objective of analyzing how the ways of dwelling influences the uses and the functional and symbolic appropriations of the urban space in Fortaleza city center, through the perspective of the residents and their relation with the living place. Scenarios of development and degradation of its urban space have marked the city center of Fortaleza. The intensification of the commercial and services occupation promoted through the years, paradoxically, the valorization of the land price and the devalorization of the residential use. Thus, the residential occupation was consolidated in a discontinuous way, being concentrated mainly in the external limits of the historical core of the neighborhood. The research is structured over the delimitation of an area and the selection of multifamily residential buildings, built since the 1960s, close to the central core of the neighborhood. The spatial configuration analysis of the selected residential buildings, and their relations with the urban surroundings and the land uses, reveals different aspects related to the urban vitality, producing impacts over the ways of dwelling constituted by the daily life of the residents. The study of the ways of dwelling involves the comprehension that the dwelling is beyond the private residential boundaries and the functional occupation. The conceptual base of this research is developed over the perspective that the dwelling represents a fundamental aspect of the human condition, allowing the person to relate with the space in an essential way (HEIDEGGER, 2012). In this perspective of the dwelling, the space reunites the mental and the cultural, the social and the historical, being marked by simultaneous logics of the conceived, the perceived and the lived space (LEFEVBRE, 2006). The development of this study, over the point of view of the neighborhood residents, is inserted in the perspective of the lived space, related to the concept of place, understood as a qualitative phenomenon, giving essence and identity to the space. The place of dwelling, marked by coexistences, is one of the structural elements of the urban land use, and potential for the rehabilitation of the central areas in big cities. Therefore, the study starts from the hypothesis that the location, the nearby land uses and the spatial configuration of the residential buildings affect the ways of dwelling, in other words the residents dissolve the boundaries of the shelter and experience the urban space, from the dwelling place. The requalification of the dwelling is opposed to the residential space based in functionality, in hierarchy, in self sufficiency, in standardization and in the reproduction of the urban space, materialized in the dense contemporary residential buildings, that are unrelated to the city. The stages of the research involved the spatial configuration analysis of the selected residential buildings and their surrounding, the land use mapping and interviews with the residents. The collected data allowed verifying that the buildings are located in areas presenting heterogeneous land uses, with a great number of residents and users. However, these aspects are not sufficient to promote the vitality of the public spaces in the neighborhood, since the people movement in the streets is controlled by the opening hours of the predominant commercial use in the area. The word of the residents, collected in interviews, indicate that the conservation conditions of the public spaces and the insecurity influences their everyday relations with the place of dwelling, affecting fundamental aspects for the dwelling requalification in the central area of Fortaleza.

Crescimento urbano e seus impactos no sistema de drenagem de uma bacia em Natal/RN

The uncontrolled growth of most Brazilian cities is not accompanied by the development of urban infrastructure. With increasing soil sealing, runoff and decreased infiltration volume, impacts on water resources and on population of the areas affected by urban growth are inevitable. This study aims to evaluate the use and occupation of a watershed and analyze the drainage system in order to control the impact using tools to integrate urban development with the drainage of rainwater in an important watershed in the Natal City, Rio Grande do Norte State. The study involved the characterization of the basin XII.4 on the land use and occupation, for the years 2005 and 2014. With the application of SWMM model was possible to analyze the impacts caused by the urbanization process in the existing drainage system, showing the two years analyzed have their areas very close to percentage saturation of impervious areas. Although the region is still predominantly single family residential, suffers increasing verticalization of mainly commercial buildings. The drainage system is inefficient for the area's needs by the year 2005. The drainage system was also tested for four variations of land use by developing scenarios. Scenario 1 is related to the year 2014, considered current. Scenario 2 was adopted the maximum rate of 80% for land use, allowed for the Natal City. Scenario 3 gives the critical condition of land use, with the area 100% impervious. Scenario 4 is applied to the existence of LID (Low Impact Device). The scenarios analysis showed that all indicate deficiency at some point of the drainage system as a result of the high degree of occupation of the area that generate higher flows than the initial drainage system capacity. With the study it became clear that the adoption of non-structural tools are effective in reducing flooding and improving the drainage system capacity.

Adaptación y validación de la versión española de la escala de evaluación de dolor en personas con demencia avanzada: PAINAD-Sp

Introducción: El dolor está considerado como un grave problema en el entorno residencial afectando entre un 49 y un 83% de los residentes. El proceso evolutivo de la enfermedad de Alzheimer puede conllevar dificultades de comunicación y comprensión de las escalas de evaluación de dolor, dificultando su evaluación y tratamiento. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue validar la versión espa˜nola del PAINAD (PAINAD-Sp) y evaluar su aplicabilidad en un Centro Gerontológico en Espa˜na. Material y métodos: Veinte usuarias diagnosticadas de demencia avanzada fueron observadas por 5 observadores con diferentes perfiles profesionales durante 5 min en 3 condiciones: reposo, durante actividad agradable y en situación de dolor. La PAINAD-Sp fue administrada simultáneamente a una escala analógica visual. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que el alfa de Cronbach se encontraba entre 0,467 y 0,827 (con una media de 0,692, que subía si el ítem de respiración se eliminaba). La fiabilidad interjueces variaba entre 0,587 y 0,956. La correlación entre la medida total en PAINAD-Sp y en una Escala Visual Analógica fue estadísticamente significativa (p < 0,05) en todas las medidas y variaba entre 0,517 y 0,868. Conclusiones: Los resultados del estudio muestran que la escala PAINAD-Sp es eficaz para medir el dolor en personas con demencia sin capacidad de comunicación. Esta escala puede ser usada por diferentes profesionales de la salud con poco entrenamiento y presenta una buena fiabilidad.

Prática profissional do Assistente Social no contexto da Incapacidade Intelectual

O presente trabalho de investigação designado “Prática Profissional do Assistente Social no contexto da Incapacidade Intelectual” tem como objetivo conhecer os procedimentos de intervenção dos Assistentes Sociais no âmbito da Incapacidade Intelectual. Realizado um aprofundamento teórico e conceptual sobre a Incapacidade Intelectual, sobre a resposta social para a Incapacidade Intelectual (Centro de Atividades Ocupacionais e Lar Residencial) sobre a prática do Assistente Social no âmbito da Incapacidade Intelectual. Encetámos uma pesquisa qualitativa do tipo descritivo que se socorreu da entrevista estruturada para recolher dados junto de três Assistentes Sociais de duas instituições da zona centro do país no ano lectivo de 2014/2015. A análise de conteúdo aos dados levantados permite-nos concluir que o Serviço Social é uma profissão de intervenção, onde o Assistente Social desempenha as funções de mediador de facilitador de capacitador entre as famílias e os clientes, aconselhando-os e possibilitando-lhe o diálogo a outros serviços. Os dados revelaram, ainda, que o Assistente Social desenvolve o seu trabalho com a família, com os clientes, com a equipa técnica e ainda com a comunidade, corroborando os resultados dos estudos de Carvalho (2013), Silva (2012) e Gomes (2010). Considerando a pertinência do trabalho do Assistente Social no contexto da Incapacidade Intelectual e a escassez de estudos nacionais sobre esta temática, este trabalho assume-se como o primeiro contributo científico facilitador da construção de um olhar crítico e reflexivo para futuros debates.

Estrategias resilientes ante la situación adversa de los desahucios

Los desahucios en España se han convertido en los últimos años en un fenómeno social emergente, de interés tanto para la investigación como para la intervención de los profesionales de la acción social. Aun así, no existen estudios suficientes relacionados con esta situación adversa, y menos aún centrados en las respuestas resilientes que las personas son capaces de ofrecer ante ella. Con el objetivo de identificar los factores internos y externos que se presentan en la experiencia de las familias que viven procesos de desahucios y que les están permitiendo desarrollar estrategias resilientes ante dicha adversidad, se lleva a cabo la presente investigación en la que participan 20 sujetos, pertenecientes a familias que acuden a la Plataforma de Afectados por las Hipotecas (PAH) de Málaga. A los participantes se les realiza una entrevista semi-estructurada y a través de ellas se han podido definir las características socio-familiares de las personas afectadas, las diferentes estrategias de afrontamiento desarrolladas, las principales fuentes de apoyo con las que han contado, así como las preocupaciones que les han acompañado. Los resultados muestran los principales factores internos y externos que están presenten en las estrategias resilientes que han desarrollado las familias afectadas por los desahucios durante el proceso vivido y destacan como fuente de apoyo informacional a la PAH. Se concluye con la necesidad de continuar con esta línea de investigación para tratar de diseñar intervenciones que refuercen y fomenten las estrategias de afrontamiento ante la situación adversa del desahucio.
