Comunicação de risco de inundação: uma análise do conteúdo de jornais de cidades paraenses (2009-2010)

Esta dissertação tem como intuito a análise do conteúdo noticioso dos jornais impressos (2009-2010) das cidades paraenses de Santarém e Marabá, que anualmente enfrentam inundações no período do inverno amazônico (de Dezembro a Junho). O objetivo é analisar se há Comunicação de Risco e como o risco é comunicado nos jornais locais no decorrer das etapas da Gestão de Risco. Há efetividade na Comunicação de Risco? Para isso, a metodologia foi pautada na análise do conteúdo, tendo em vista investigar a forma, conteúdo, número e memória midiática do Jornal de Santarém e Baixo Amazonas - JSBA (Santarém) e do Jornal Correio do Tocantins - CT (Marabá), na temporalidade estabelecida. O principal referencial teórico que serviu de base para pesquisa está vinculado aos conceitos de Comunicação de Risco, Análise do Conteúdo e Gestão de Risco, encontrados respectivamente nas obras de Di Giulio (2008), Bardin (2009) e Jungles (2012). Na comparação entre os jornais, observou-se que o JSBA apresentou maior quantidade de publicações e um conteúdo mais informativo do que o JCT, porém, a forma mostrou-se mais consistentes no segundo jornal. Quanto à memória midiática, o Correio do Tocantins apresentou o elemento do “esquecimento midiático”, que caracteriza a ausência de publicações sobre o tema por um longo período, enquanto que o JSBA abordou a temática em quase todos os meses. Logo, constatou-se que em 2009, os jornais faziam a comunicação do risco e não a Comunicação de Risco. Porém, após o evento extremo (inundação) vivido em 2009, no ano posterior, a Comunicação de Risco, que alerta a população antes da ocorrência do desastre, passou a ganhar seus primeiros contornos no Jornal de Santarém e Baixo Amazonas, em detrimento do Jornal Correio do Tocantins, que continuou a apresentar os mesmos resultados.

Botticelli: pintura e teoria

Esta obra analisa com profundidade o trabalho do florentino Sandro Botticelli (aproximadamente 1445-1510), um dos mais conhecidos representantes da arte renascentista, autor de afrescos que decoram a Capela Sistina e de ícones da pintura ocidental, como O Nascimento de Vênus e A Primavera. Aqui, Débora Barbam Mendonça toma como ponto de partida a comparação do estudo Clássico e Anticlássico, de Giulio Carlo Argan, sobre a pintura do florentino, com obras de outros teóricos e historiadores. O objetivo é estudar o conceito de graça na pintura de Boticelli e confrontá-lo com os pressupostos teóricos da produção do artista. A autora discute a interpretação de especialistas sobre o Renascimento como período histórico, filosófico e artístico, discorre sobre o legado teórico da pintura humanista e busca o ideal de belo intrínseco à obra de Boticelli. No terceiro capítulo, Mendonça analisa detalhadamente a pintura A Virgem do magnificat como referência para situar Boticelli como artista intelectual do Renascimento e destacar na obra sua ideia de graça. A filósofa conclui que Boticelli seguia uma linha teórica, mas a partir de uma escolha individual, ou seja, desenvolvia uma estética psicológica. E, por meio dos elementos formais de que dispunha, transmitia em suas obras o conceito de graça, transpondo ao mesmo tempo o resultado do diálogo que mantinha com a Filosofia, a ciência, a religião e, nostalgicamente, com a Antiguidade

Perception of brittle nails in dermatologic patients: a cross-sectional study

A síndrome das unhas frágeis caracteriza-se por fragilidade da lâmina ungueal, acometendo 27% das mulheres. Realizamos estudo transversal com pacientes dermatológicas sobre a percepção de fragilidade ungueal. Avaliamos 138 pacientes com idade mediana de 36,5 anos. Ao exame, 57% apresentavam alterações e 49% relatavam fragilidade ungueal. Os três primeiros dedos das mãos foram os mais acometidos. A onicosquizia associou-se com onicofagia (OR = 3,29), trabalhos domésticos (OR = 2,95) e contato com água (OR = 2,44). A onicorrexe teve a mais forte associação com a percepção de fragilidade ungueal (OR = 17,89). A fragilidade foi mais percebida em negras, pardas e atópicas e associou-se com humor depressivo.

Comparison of Nonmesonic Hypernuclear Decay Rates Computed in Laboratory and Center-of-Mass Coordinates

In this work we compute the one-nucleon-induced nonmesonic hypernuclear decay rates of He-5(Lambda), C-12(Lambda) and C-13(Lambda) using a formalism based on the independent particle shell model in terms of laboratory coordinates. To ascertain the correctness and precision of the method, these results are compared with those obtained using a formalism in terms of center-of-mass coordinates, which has been previously reported in the literature. The formalism in terms of laboratory coordinates will be useful in the shell-model approach to two-nucleon-induced transitions.

Purification and properties of polygalacturonase produced by thermophilic fungus Thermoascus aurantiacus CBMAI-756 on solid-state fermentation

Polygalacturonases are enzymes involved in the degradation of pectic substances, being extensively used in food industries, textile processing, degumming of plant rough fibres, and treatment of pectic wastewaters. Polygalacturonase (PG) production by thermophilic fungus Thermoascus aurantiacus on solid-state fermentation was carried out in culture media containing sugar cane bagasse and orange bagasse in proportions of 30% and 70% (w/w) at 45°C for 4 days. PG obtained was purified by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. The highest activity was found between pH 4.5 and 5.5, and the enzyme preserved more than 80% of its activity at pH values between 5.0 and 6.5. At pH values between 3.0 and 4.5, PG retained about 73% of the original activity, whereas at pH 10.0 it remained around 44%. The optimum temperature was 60–65°C. The enzyme was completely stable when incubated for 1 hour at 50°C. At 55°C and 60°C, the activity decreased 55% and 90%, respectively. The apparent molecular weight was 29.3 kDa, Km of 1.58 mg/mL and Vmax of 1553.1μmol/min/mg. The presence of Zn+2, Mn+2, and Hg+2 inhibited 59%, 77%, and 100% of enzyme activity, respectively. The hydrolysis product suggests that polygalacturonase was shown to be an endo/exoenzyme.

Orçamento Participativo (OP) após vinte anos de experiências no Brasil: mais qualidade na gestão orçamentária municipal?

This article consists on an analysis of dissertations and thesis on Participatory Budget (PB) in post-graduation courses in Brazil (from the CAPES data bank), from 2000 to 2009. It also makes the evolution of works explicit, the institutions where they were carried out, and the area in which they were produced. Results show that the Participatory Budget has not been often evaluated, understood and explained in terms of its finance and budget technical dimension, in spite of there are two decades studies have been carried out regarding this method on budget management in Brazil. Finally, the importance of understanding aspects on PB must be taken into consideration when carrying out new studies.

Os estudos clássicos no Brasil colonial: uma breve proposta para a reintrodução de um assunto

This paper wishes to reintroduce, in a brief manner, a subject which has been neglected in the recent past: the history of Classical Studies in colonial Brazil. As an introduction to this complex issue, it aims at a historical review of the ideal of humanitas in the Academias of the eighteenth century. The presence of this ideal in the Academias is seen as a result of the classical education of the Brazilian people, a process which begins with the arrival of Jesuit missionaries in 1549 and 1553. In our discussion, we shall use the ideas of Dante Tringali (1994), Fernando de Azevedo (1958), Antônio Cândido (1977), José Aderaldo Castello (1969), among others.

Durability of mixed mortar lining containing Dregs-Grits

The improper disposal of industrial waste and exploitation of natural resources has resulted in the scarcity of river sand and environmental degradation, such as river erosions and pollution. This study aimed to assess the durability of mixed mortar lining walls and ceilings, containing 0 (default), 10 and 20% of dregs-grits compounds-waste of the pulp industry-in substitution with river sand. This was done with tests that simulated both natural and artificial conditions: Direct solar incidence (testing ultraviolet radiation), attack by spraying solution (salt spray test), natural warming of the walls and ceilings incidence by indirect solar (thermal degradation) and residential fires (thermogravimetric test), in compliance with both national and/or international standards. The grout containing dregs-grits compounds showed similarity to standard (0%) for testing thermal degradability, thermogravimetric and ultraviolet radiation, but shows significantly less durability when exposed to salty environments.

Evaluation of clinical, ultrasonographic and hysteroscopic parameters in the differentiation of endometrial polyps and cancer of endometrium

Study Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound and office hysteroscopy in the differentiation between endometrial polyps and endometrial adenocarcinoma. Design: This is a prospective 100 women longitudinal study, 24 to 80 years, submitted to hysteroscopic polypectomy (n = 80) or surgery due to endometrial adenocarcinoma (n = 20), from january 2010 to December 2011. Clinical, ultrasonographic and hysteroscopic parameters were analyzed and compared with histopathologic find. Statistical analysis were performed utilizing the Tukey, Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn and Mann-Whitney test, with a confidence interval of 95% and p\0, 05 statiscally significant. Setting: Botucatu Medical School. Intervention: Prospective analysis of clinical, ultrasonographic and hysteroscopic parameters in patients with diagnosis suspected of endometrial polyps and adenocarcinoma of endometrium were performed. According to the diagnosis, hysteroscopic polypectomy or pan hysterectomy with lymph node sampling was realized. After the surgery and histopathological study, statistical analysis of parameters was performed and the results were compared between groups. It was Research Ethics Committee approved. Measurements and Main Results: There were no differences between age, BMI, menopause, TH use and associated diseases among groups. The main symptom of endometrial cancer was the postmenopausal bleeding, affecting 84,2% of women against 34,8% of polypectomy group. The majority of women with endometrial polyps were asymptomatic. Transvaginal ultrasonography showed no ability to differentiate cases of endometrial cancer compared with the cases of endometrial polyps, considering the presence of endometrial thickness and blood flow on color Doppler. Office hysteroscopy showed significant changes in 75% of the adenocarcinoma cases, especially the presence of diffuse hypervascularity with atypical vessels. Conclusion: Still remains an inability to establish clinical parameters and reliable ultrasound imaging to differentiate endometrial polyps and cancer of endometrium. Attention should be given to hysteroscopic exams presenting diffuse endometrial hypervascularization with architectural distortion of the vessels. The recommendation of our service remains the systematic removal of all endometrial polyps.
