Several positioning techniques have been developed to explore the GPS capability to provide precise coordinates in real time. However, a significant problem to all techniques is the ionosphere effect and the troposphere refraction. Recent researches in Brazil, at São Paulo State University (UNESP), have been trying to tackle these problems. In relation to the ionosphere effects it has been developed a model named Mod_Ion. Concerning tropospheric refraction, a model of Numerical Weather Prediction(NWP) has been used to compute the zenithal tropospheric delay (ZTD). These two models have been integrated with two positioning methods: DGPS (Differential GPS) and network RTK (Real Time Kinematic). These two positioning techniques are being investigated at São Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil. The in-house DGPS software was already finalized and has provided very good results. The network RTK software is still under development. Therefore, only preliminary results from this method using the VRS (Virtual Reference Station) concept are presented.

Objetivou-se apreender as representações sociais sobre gravidez após os 35 anos a partir de mulheres com baixa renda que vivenciaram essa experiência. A abordagem qualitativa foi empregada com base na Teoria das Representações Sociais. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 25 gestantes usuárias de um serviço público de referência do interior paulista. Os dados foram sistematizados pela técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Verificou-se que a opção pela gravidez tardia se atrela ao desejo da mulher de consolidar suas relações em novas uniões conjugais, à estabilidade financeira e à maturidade do casal. As mulheres representam esta experiência como positiva, se houver planejamento prévio, envolvimento do companheiro e se for bem aceita pela família, após sua constatação. Sem a satisfação destas condições, as representações revestem-se de sentimentos negativos ligados a dor, sofrimento e morte. As conclusões deste estudo enfatizam a importância de os serviços públicos de saúde considerarem estes aspectos.

PURPOSE: to evaluate the insulin therapy protocol and its maternal and perinatal outcome in patients with clinical or gestational diabetes in a high risk reference service. METHODS: descriptive and prospective study including 103 pregnant women with gestational or clinical diabetes treated with insulin and attended by the reference service from October 2003 to December 2005. Gemellarity, miscarriages, unfinished prenatal care and deliveries not attended by the service were excluded. The gestational age at the beginning of the treatment, dosage, doses/day, increment of insulin (UI/kg), glycemic index (GI) and perinatal outcomes were compared. ANOVA, Fisher's exact test and Goodman's test considering p<0.05 were used. RESULTS: multiparity (92 versus 67.9%), pre-gestational body mass index (BMI) >25 kg/m 2 (88 versus 58.5%), weight gain (WG) <8 kg (36 versus 17%) and a high increment of insulin characterized the gestational diabetes. For the patients with clinical diabetes, despite the highest GI (120 mg/dL (39.2 versus 24%)) at the end of the gestational period, insulin therapy started earlier (47.2 versus 4%), lasted longer (56.6 versus 6%) and higher doses of insulin (92 versus 43 UI/day) were administered up to three times a day (54.7 versus 16%). Macrosomia was higher among newborns from the cohort of patients with gestational diabetes (16 versus 3.8%), being the only significant neonatal outcome. There were no neonatal deaths, except for one fetal death in the cohort of patients with clinical diabetes. There were no differences in the other neonatal complications in both cohorts, and most of the newborns were discharged from hospital up to seven days after delivery (46% versus 55.8%). CONCLUSIONS: the analysis of these two cohorts has shown differences in the insulin therapy protocol in quantity (UI/day), dosage (UI/kg weight) and number of doses/day, higher for the clinical diabetes cohort, and in the increment of insulin, higher for the gestational diabetes cohort. Indirectly, the quality of maternal glycemic control and the satisfactory perinatal outcome have proven that the treatment protocol was adequate and did not depend on the type of diabetes.

Nowadays, with the implantation of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) reference station networks, several positioning techniques have been developed and/or improved. Using such kind of network data it is possible to model the GNSS distance dependent errors and to compute correction terms for the network region. Several methods have been developed to formulate the corrections terms from network stations data. A method that has been received a great attention is the Virtual Reference Station (VRS). The idea is that the VRS data resemble as much as possible a real receiver data placed in the same local. Therefore, the user has the possibility of using the VRS as if it were a real reference station in your proximities, and to accomplish the relative positioning with a single frequency receiver. In this paper it is described a different methodology applied to implement the VRS concept, using atmospheric models developed by Brazilian researchers. Besides, experiments for evaluating the quality of generated VRS are presented, showing the efficiency of the proposed method.

Nowadays, with the expansion of the reference stations networks, several positioning techniques have been developed and/or improved. Among them, the VRS (Virtual Reference Station) concept has been very used. In this paper the goal is to generate VRS data in a modified technique. In the proposed methodology the DD (double difference) ambiguities are not computed. The network correction terms are obtained using only atmospheric (ionospheric and tropospheric) models. In order to carry out the experiments it was used data of five reference stations from the GPS Active Network of West of São Paulo State and an extra station. To evaluate the VRS data quality it was used three different strategies: PPP (Precise Point Positioning) and Relative Positioning in static and kinematic modes, and DGPS (Differential GPS). Furthermore, the VRS data were generated in the position of a real reference station. The results provided by the VRS data agree quite well with those of the real file data.

This paper discusses the importance of the voltage referential for power quality monitoring and power systempsilas instrumentation. Considering the operating conditions of simple power circuits, it will be demonstrated that an incorrect choice of the voltages referential may result in erroneous quantification of some power quality indices, especially in three-phase four wire circuits. The use of a virtual reference point and the neutral conductor as reference have been considered and the simulation results confirm the influence of the voltage reference selection in the evaluation of total harmonic distortion, unbalance factors and voltage sags. Finally a way of linking both methods will be discussed by means of Blakesleypsilas theorem. © Copyright 2010 IEEE - All Rights Reserved.

A infecção pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV) atinge cada vez mais mulheres em idade reprodutiva, o que conseqüentemente favorece o crescimento da transmissão vertical. Com a proposta de se obter informações da situação epidemiológica das grávidas infectadas pelo HIV na maior maternidade pública do norte do Brasil, foi realizado um estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, envolvendo 770 grávidas atendidas na triagem obstétrica da Fundação Santa Casa de Misericórdia do Pará, no período entre 2004 a 2010. Após análise dos dados obtidos a partir de prontuários, sob os preceitos éticos recomendados, obteve-se os seguintes resultados: a prevalência e a incidência no período foram de 1,87% e 0,40%, respectivamente; a faixa etária predominante estava entre 18 e 23 anos (42,1%), sendo que 50,4% tinham ensino fundamental incompleto, 68,2% exerciam atividades do lar, 89% eram solteiras e a maioria procedia de municípios com mais de 50 mil habitantes (Belém, 53,9%; Ananindeua, 13,0%; Castanhal 4,8%; Paragominas, 3,6%; Tailândia, 3,5%; Barcarena 3,1%; Marituba, 2,9%; Abaetetuba, 1,8% e São Miguel do Guamá, 0,6%). O pré-natal foi realizado por 91,9% destas grávidas, com 4 a 6 consultas (61,0%), 85,2% procuraram as Unidades Básica de Saúde e 12,8% as Unidades de Referência Especializada ao atendimento e acompanhamento de mulher HIV positiva; 75,1% já sabiam antes da gravidez atual que estavam infectadas pelo HIV, 3,6%, tomaram conhecimento durante o pré-natal e 21,3% no momento do parto através do teste rápido, totalizando em 78,7% a cobertura do diagnóstico da infecção pelo HIV antes da chegada a maternidade, e destas 75,1% fezeram tratamento especifico durante o pré-natal. O parto cirúrgico foi o de maior ocorrência (85,1%); 89,7% das grávidas receberam Zidovudina profilática no parto, destas 85,1% fizeram parto cirúrgico e 14,9% parto normal. O conhecimento das variáveis epidemiológicas da maior casuística de grávidas infectadas pelo HIV da Amazônia brasileira, que chegaram a maternidade, permitiu concluir que o perfil de faixa etária, escolaridade, adesão ao pré-natal e número de consultas está compatível com os dados nacionais, entretanto, a maior procedência de grávidas de municípios de médio e grande porte opõem-se ao fenômeno da interiorização da epidemia à municípios menores como está sendo observado no país. Uma taxa de 21,3% de falta de cobertura diagnóstica de infecção pelo HIV no momento do parto, uma rotina em muitos serviços brasileiros, depõem contra a qualidade da execução dos programas de saúde e, sobretudo mostra que a equipe de assistência precisa melhorar o acolhimento às grávidas durante o pré-natal, independente do número de consultas, visto que o teste do HIV deve ser solicitado ainda na primeira consulta. Estas medidas devem ser reforçadas no Estado do Pará, que mostrou alta taxa de prevalência da infecção pelo HIV na gravidez, contrapondo-se as demais regiões do país onde há um decréscimo, o que tem favorecido a elevação do número de crianças infectadas pelo vírus HIV no Brasil.

In the past few years several GPS (Global Position System) positioning techniques have been develope and/or improved with the goal of obtaining high accuracy and productivity in real time. The reference station network concept besides to enabling quality and reliability in positioning for scientific and civil GPS community, allows studies concerning tropospheric refraction modeling in the network region. Moreover, among the network corrections transmission methods available to users, there is the VRS (Virtual Reference Station) concept. In this method, the data of a virtual station are generated near the rover receiver (user). This provides a short baseline and the user has the possibility of using a single frequency receiver to accomplish the relative positioning. In this paper, the methodology applied to generate VRS data, using different tropospheric models is described. Thus, comparative tests were conducted in the four seasons with the NWP/INPE (Numerical Weather Prediction/National Institute for Space Research) and Hopfield tropospheric models. In order to analyse the VRS data quality, it was used the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) method, where satisfactory results were found. Mean differences between PNT/INPE and Hopfield models of 9.75% and 24.2% for the hydrostatic and wet days, respectively were obtained.
