This paper analyzed and mapped social networks among cassava farmers in São Paulo, gathered in search of information regarding production and marketing. A descriptive research, using semi-structured questionnaires, in Tupa and Assis regions, was conducted. UCINET software assisted the analysis of interactions within networks. The results indicate that Tupa network is diffuse and there is little interaction with technology transfer institutions. In Assis, the network is cohesive with greater technological diffusion.

Sistemas de retenção O'ring e barra-clipe em overdenture mandibular

The dissatisfaction of the treatment with mandibular complete dentures in edentulous patients has been a constant problem in Dentistry. Often, the absence of stability and retention, resultants of a physiologic condition and alveolar ridge resorption, bring reduction of chewing force, speech problems and social life interference. In these cases, the rehabilitation over osseointegrated implants can be an effective and safe alternative of treatment. When it is not possible to put implants in appropriate number and disposition, it is necessary to make a simple and low costing prosthetic planning, which makes resurge the overdentures. Various implant supported attachment systems for overdentures have been developed in the dental market. Thus, intending to facilitate the professional choice, this study review the literature about attachment systems O’ring and bar- clip in its following aspect: retention level, stress distribution, hygiene complications and patient satisfaction.

Medicamentos inadequados para idosos na estratégia da saúde da família

The ageing process can change the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics parameters. Therefore, some medications are considered potentially inappropriate (PIM) for the elderly people, since they can increase the likelihood of occurrence of adverse drug events. The objectives are to estimate the frequency of use of PIM in the elderly people, with potentially hazardous drug interactions (PHDI) and to evaluate the impact of pharmaceutical intervention (PI) for the prescription of safer therapeutic alternatives. A cross-sectional study was performed in a Health Family Strategy (region of Araraquara, SP), between January and February/2012. The medical records of patients aged ≥60 years, that use at least one drug, were consulted for identification of PIM, according to the Beers criteria. The MPI identified were classified considering the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System (ATC) and the essentiality of the drug (safety, effectiveness, quality and cost parameters) The inclusion criteria were met by 358 elderly, being that 93 of them (26%) had taken at least one PIM. Of the 114 different drugs prescribed for elderly, ten were classified as PIM, of which four of them act on the central nervous system, four on cardiovascular system and two on the digestive tract. Seven MPI are essential medicines, belonging to national list of essential drugs (RENAME-2010). Fourteen drug interactions were identified, of which two are PHDI (fluoxetine/amitriptyline and digoxin/hydrochlorothiazide).After the PI, there was no change in medical prescriptions of patients with PIM use or with DI. Medical prescriptions of elderly attended in the Health Family Strategy show pharmacotherapeutic safety problems, of which may be responsible for health hazardous for this age group. Although the intervention carried out by letter had been ineffective for the adherence of doctors in prescribing safe alternatives, wide dissemination of the lists that contain PIM and PHDI is need, as well as the inclusion of safer equivalents in RENAME, in order to contribute for rational use of drugs.

Design de Relações entre tecnologias amigáveis e sociabilidades virtuais: um novo campo de investigação para o Design

The Digital Age, with its new interactive and converging technologies, stimulates original forms of sociability, which are interconnected, intercommunicating and virtualized through hyperscreens. Another kind of interaction arises from the digitization and new speeds of contemporary communicative process. With the new order of knowledge, it is now possible to transgress the limits of physical space and linear time sequence, through the collective development of content through such telematics networks. Youth gives voice to a new type of user, or a social actor, whose thinking is connected to other communication habits, consolidating singular cultural standards, demanding new languages and skills. Here, we address the nature of this Design of new relations, interactions, behaviors and social systems that emerge in the so called Information Society.

Traições, pequenas mentiras e internet: conjugalidades contemporâneas e usos de mídias digitais

In the present paper, the authors carry out an exploratory analysis of the market of confidential online betrayals by examining the perceptions of the issue of those Ashely Madison Site users participating in the research. The ethnographic method and a multidisciplinary approach were employed in order to understand how love and market, technology and intimacy come together, and how traditional values related to family, conjugality and masculinity articulate in the world of online betrayals. Interactions between men aged between 38 and 70 were favored in the analyses.

Práticas educativas de professores e comportamentos infantis, na transição ao primeiro ano do Ensino Fundamental

The objectives this research are: (a) describing positive interactions established between teacher and student, considering clinical group to behavior problems and non-clinical one; (b) describing behavior repertoire (social skills and behavior problems) of children with and without clinical classification to behavior problems, according to TRF, teacher version. The participants this study were 16 female teachers who indicated and evaluated 32 students - 16 of them presented behavior problems (with BP – clinical group), whereas the other 16 did not (without BP – non clinical group). Students aged 6 years were enrolled in the first year of elementary school. Data collection was conducted through the application of three instruments: TRF, RE-HSE-Pr and QRSH-Pr, as an interview with teachers. Data were categorized and analyzed to compare the clinical and nonclinical groups (Mann-Whitney Test). Overall, this research found that female teachers exert different practices among students who have behavior problems that do not show, being more skilled in the interactions with children without behavior problems and more agressive to those with behavioral problems. Implications for interventions and public policies are discussed.

La redacción de avances de planes de manejo, para los parques temáticos ambientales

Se presenta un modelo estándar de Plan de Manejo de un territorio, con una vocación de destino y un destino de uso de Parque Temático Ambiental, que permite cuantificar logros y blindajes de calidades, en porcentajes. Se entiende por Parque Temático Ambiental un marco geográfico, que rebasa una superficie determinada, con unos límites trazados según criterios geográficos y/o invariantes, y en donde sus contenidos traducen interacciones significativas entre el Hombre y la Naturaleza. El Plan de Manejo se centra en la conservación, rehabilitación, restauración, reconversión y protección de los legados de interés de las interacciones en cuestión, y en el uso de tales activos como recursos de ocio y de aprendizaje sobre el Ambiente (formación y/o educación ambiental). Para desarrollar el Plan de Manejo, se opta, como metodología, el Análisis DAFO Compacto, Cuantitativo y Contrastable y, como herramientas, un árbol genérico de objetivos del Campo de Aplicación de los Parques Temáticos Ambientales (con niveles de diagnóstico de situación, estrategias, metas y fin, y operativo para el lugar con la incorporación de aquellos objetivos de su árbol específico, que no se encontraran ya recogidos en el general), y las matrices de un Marco Lógico de los objetivos involucrados. Se enuncian las Reglas de Aplicación de esta versión de Análisis DAFO Cuantitativo Contrastable: Las Reglas Generales (referentes a los coeficientes de importancia, espaciales, temporales y de probabilidad de presentación). Y las Reglas Procedimentales (en relación con la utilización de los Descriptores de Medición (diseñados y desarrollados con criterios de valoración definidos objetivamente y formulados de forma clara, concisa y universalista). Los resultados obtenidos con la aplicación de todos y cada uno de los Descriptores DAFO a un territorio (respecto al uso del mismo como Parque Temático Ambiental), posibilitan establecer secuencias de calidades óptimas (las que se conseguirían con la mejor de las gestiones), de calidades actuales (de las situaciones imperantes en el momento del Análisis) y de desvíos de calidad (calidades óptimas menos calidades actuales). Estas mediciones: Por una parte, dan los criterios para calificar la vocación de destino y el destino de uso (actual y potencial) de un territorio como Parque Temático Ambiental. Y, por otra, posibilitan calcular los porcentajes de logros que se alcanzarían con las eliminaciones de los desvíos de calidad. Se formula un protocolo de redacción de un Plan de Manejo, conforme con la metodología y herramientas asumidas, y calibrado con su aplicación a un caso real. Las propuestas y los planteamientos (con sus acciones específicas) de los diferentes proyectos del Plan de Manejo, se encuentran estructurados por itinerarios de objetivos (del árbol genérico), y alimentados por los desarrollos de las matrices de un Marco Lógico (de los objetivos involucrados en cada itinerario). El cronograma de actuaciones (en su conjunto y por partes) se deriva también de las temporalizaciones que impone el desarrollo del Marco Lógico. Los logros y las calidades blindadas se obtienen conforme con las correspondencias entre desvíos de calidad, cuantificadas con la DAFO, y actuaciones planificadas. Se verifica la viabilidad de esta forma de redactar Planes de Manejo con ejemplos de casos reales. La metodología y las herramientas empleadas (con las adecuadas modificaciones) son susceptibles de extrapolar a otros campos de aplicación de un territorio (como se ha demostrado).
