UBS RN-7: proposta arquitetônica para um padrão flexível de unidade básica de saúde para a zona bioclimática 7 do RN, com ênfase na sustentabilidade ambiental

Standardization and sustainability: these two apparently antagonistic words find the challenge of uniting in a flexible architectonic proposal. This was the idea that motivated the proposal of this assignment, whose appearing is bound up with the necessity of thinking about standardized spaces that attend on functional criterias and environmental sustainability, in reply to an existing real demand. The assignment consists of an architectonic proposal for a flexible standard of a Basic Unit of Health for the bioclimatic zone 7 of RN (UBS RN-7), with emphasis in the environmental sustainability. The project contemplates innumerable involved variables, such as: obedience to the current law of the Health Ministry for the UBSs; formal/aesthetic aspects; criterias of expansiveness of the UBS I for the UBS II; relative aspects to the constructive rationality and, mainly, sustainability aspects. With the intention to unite the variables and, also, glimpsing a proposal that could reach a good functional performance, aesthetic, of environment comfort and energetic efficiency, it was also necessary to consider concepts about the flexibility of the envelopment. The elaboration of the architecture first draft was based on bibliographical research, conceptual studies and references, elaboration of the architectonic program and the draft development for the UBS port I and the UBS port II. To the end, an implantation data sheet for the project is proposed for the UBS standard project, where strategies of thermal isolation, shadowing and thermal inertia are adopted and combined to three possible types of lot, resulting in 24 possibilities of implantation

Monitoramento da morfologia costeira em setores da bacia potiguar sob influência da indústria petrolífera utilizando geodésia de alta precisão e laser escâner terrestre

The objective of this Doctoral Thesis was monitoring, in trimestral scale, the coastal morphology of the Northeastern coast sections of Rio Grande do Norte State, in Brazil, which is an area of Potiguar Basin influenced by the oil industry activities. The studied sections compose coastal areas with intense sedimentary erosion and high environmental sensitivity to the oil spill. In order to achieve the general objective of this study, the work has been systematized in four steps. The first one refers to the evaluation of the geomorphological data acquisition methodologies used on Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of sandy beaches. The data has been obtained from Soledade beach, located on the Northeastern coast of Rio Grande Norte. The second step has been centered on the increasing of the reference geodetic infrastructure to accomplish the geodetic survey of the studied area by implanting a station in Corta Cachorro Barrier Island and by conducting monitoring geodetic surveys to understand the beach system based on the Coastline (CL) and on DEM multitemporal analysis. The third phase has been related to the usage of the methodology developed by Santos; Amaro (2011) and Santos et al. (2012) for the surveying, processing, representation, integration and analysis of Coastlines from sandy coast, which have been obtained through geodetic techniques of positioning, morphological change analysis and sediment transport. The fourth stage represents the innovation of surveys in coastal environment by using the Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), based on Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), to evaluate a highly eroded section on Soledade beach where the oil industry structures are located. The evaluation has been achieved through high-precision DEM and accuracy during the modeling of the coast morphology changes. The result analysis of the integrated study about the spatial and temporal interrelations of the intense coastal processes in areas of building cycles and destruction of beaches has allowed identifying the causes and consequences of the intense coastal erosion in exposed beach sections and in barrier islands

Iga total e específica para bactérias enteropatogênicas no colostro e leite de mães da zona rural da Paraíba

Trata-se de um coorte prospectivo com amostras de leite de 28 mães da zona rural da Paraíba, durante diferentes dias de amamentação exclusiva, com objetivo de avaliar através do ensaio imunoenzimático a presença de imunoglobulina A secretora (sIgA) total e específica contra antígenos de Escherichia coli enteropatogênica (EPEC) e Shigella flexneri. A reatividade dos anticorpos foi analisada pelo Western blot . Os resultados mostram presença da sIgA em todas as amostras, com medianas no colostro de 8,092 g/L(4,546-17,252) e leite de 0,695g/L (0,020-2,830). As medianas nos títulos de colostro de IgA anti-EPEC foi 41 (1-659) e anti-Shigella flexneri de 18 (1-4727) enquanto no leite anti-EPEC foi de 8 (1-288) e anti-Shigella flexneri de 6 (1-450). Houve grandes variações entre as mães e entre os dias de amamentação. No Western blot os anticorpos sIgA reagiram com proteínas de EPEC e Shigella flexneri, destacando-se a fração antigênica de 94kDa, correspondente a intimina. Os resultados mostram que a presença de sIgA total e de anticorpos IgA contra EPEC e Shigella flexneri no colostro e leite de mães residentes em zona rural, com precárias condições sócioeconômica e sanitárias, não diferem de estudos realizados com populações de área urbana e reforçam a importância do leite materno na defesa contra infecções entéricas. Apesar da ausência na literatura de estudos avaliando o perfil de anticorpos sIgA no leite de mães residentes em zona rural do Brasil, os resultados demonstraram que a presença de sIgA total e de anticorpos IgA contra EPEC e Shigella flexneri no colostro e leite de mães residentes em zona rural, com precárias condições sócio-econômica e sanitárias, não diferem de estudos realizados com populações de área urbana e reforçam a importância do leite materno na defesa contra infecções entéricas
