Mão em garra: uma proposta de intervenção terapêutica ocupacional para hansenianos

A hanseníase é uma doença infecciosa crônica, granulomatosa, de curso lento, causada pelo Mycobacterium Leprae. O bacilo acomete principalmente os nervos periféricos, causando lesões na face, mãos e pés, que podem gerar incapacidades físicas severas que contribuem para a instalação de padrões deformantes e incapacidades. A lesão do tipo mão em garra é uma sequela que pode ser observada em pacientes com lesões ao nível dos membros superiores sendo muito incapacitante, dificultando a realização das atividades de vida diária destes indivíduos e consequentemente prejudicando sua qualidade de vida e satisfação pessoal. Estas lesões geram repercussões no contexto de vida do indivíduo contribuindo para a instalação de alterações nos aspectos psicoemocionais, além do estigma próprio da doença. A intervenção terapêutica ocupacional utilizando a tecnologia assistiva de baixo custo para auxílio nas atividades de vida diária de pacientes com mão em garra objetiva a minimização dos déficits funcionais apresentados durante a utilização de adaptações funcionais utilizadas na realização de suas atividades cotidianas como alimentação, higiene pessoal e vestuário. A intervenção realizou-se através da aplicação de um protocolo de avaliação em Terapia Ocupacional conhecido como Medida Canadense de Desempenho Ocupacional (COPM) que mede o grau de desempenho e Satisfação do paciente ao realizar suas atividades de vida diária. O protocolo foi aplicado inicialmente junto aos pacientes coletando dados sobre a realização das suas atividades de vida diária sem a utilização de recursos de tecnologia assistiva. A aplicação do protocolo baseou-se na definição de cinco problemas comuns a todos os participantes, revelando graus muito baixos de desempenho e satisfação obtidos durante a realização das atividades avaliadas. Posteriormente realizou-se o processo de prescrição, confecção e treinamento das adaptações desenvolvidas para cada paciente, somando-se um total de cento e vinte aparelhos (120) desenvolvidos. Aplicou-se novamente o mesmo protocolo com os mesmos pacientes abordando os mesmos problemas após a realização de um período de treinamento das adaptações funcionais desenvolvidas, comparando-se os dados coletados no primeiro e segundo COPM. Comparando-se aos dados iniciais apresentados, os dados coletados na segunda avaliação do COPM apontaram um aumento significativo do grau de desempenho e satisfação dos pacientes além de ganho funcional. Concluí-se com esta pesquisa que a proposta de intervenção terapêutica ocupacional utilizando equipamentos de tecnologia assistiva de baixo custo (adaptações) é viável, possui resultados satisfatórios e favorece um grande alcance social devido à redução de custos dos dispositivos desenvolvidos.

Futebol: representações e práticas de escolares do ensino fundamental

Este estudo buscou caracterizar as práticas e identificar representações sociais de escolares sobre o futebol no âmbito da aulas de Educação Física Escolar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de tipo etnográfico, que utilizou observação participante e entrevistas semiestruturadas, além de questionário, em uma turma de 29 alunos do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental, em uma escola pública na cidade de Bauru - SP. Os resultados indicam que as mídias e a família são os principais elementos que constituem as representações dos alunos sobre o futebol, e que o modo como a prática do futebol é desenvolvida na escola ao mesmo tempo as constrói e realimenta. Concluímos que as representações sociais são um importante meio que orienta as relações dos alunos com o futebol, na medida em que influenciam a orientação e organização das suas condutas. Todavia, isto não torna homogêneas suas condutas e valores, pois os alunos buscam no futebol a satisfação de algo que é também pessoal, como diversão e amizades.

Padronização e melhoria de processos produtivos em empresas de panificação: estudo de múltiplos casos

An important tool for organizational change is the standardization of procedures for developing standards so that companies have greater control, thus providing a broad view of their processes and needs. This paper presents and analyzes a model of standard processes developed by the bakeries in PROPAN (Support Programme Bakery), detailing each stage of deployment to evaluate both its benefits for companies and employees and its shortcomings, to make proposals for improvements. Five bakeries were selected for this multi-case study, whose methodology consists of qualitative research using semi-structured interviews, on-site observations and document analysis. The main positive points of the model are the possibility of standardized recipes and procedures, a large decrease in wasted raw material and a significant increase in worker productivity. The main challenges are the lack of employee and owner commitment to the project, the lack of materials needed for deployment and the resistance of employees to change.

Reconfiguração de sistemas de distribuição utilizando metaheurísticas e critérios de confiabilidade

In an ever more competitive environment, power distribution companies must satisfy two conflicting objectives: minimizing investment costs and the satisfaction of reliability targets. The network reconfiguration of a distribution system is a technique that well adapts to this new deregulated environment for it allows improvement of reliability indices only opening and closing switches, without the onus involved in acquiring new equipment. Due to combinatorial explosion problem characteristic, in the solution are employed metaheuristics methods, which converge to optimal or quasi-optimal solutions, but with a high computational effort. As the main objective of this work is to find the best configuration(s) of the distribution system with the best levels of reliability, the objective function used in the metaheuristics is to minimize the LOLC - Loss Of Load Cost, which is associated with both, number and duration of electric power interruptions. Several metaheuristics techniques are tested, and the tabu search has proven to be most appropriate to solve the proposed problem. To characterize computationally the problem of the switches reconfiguring was developed a vector model (with integers) of the representation of the switches, where each normally open switch is associated with a group of normally closed switches. In this model simplifications have been introduced to reduce computational time and restrictions were made to exclude solutions that do not supply energy to any load point of the system. To check violation of the voltage and loading criteria a study of power flow for the ten best solutions is performed. Also for the ten best solutions a reliability evaluation using Monte Carlo sequential simulation is performed, where it is possible to obtain the probability distributions of the indices and thus calculate the risk of paying penalty due to not meeting the goals. Finally, the methodology is applied in a real Brazilian distribution network, and the results are discussed.

Proposta de desenvolvimento de um setor de fomento à padronização de processos em uma empresa de usinagem

The industries face increasingly fierce competition, so that differentiation becomes more and more difficult. In the case of the branch of machine tool industries this scenario is aggressive, those firms face competition from around the world, which have good quality and low price.
