Comportamento do consumidor: um estudo do mercado imobiliário em condomínios verticais fechados na região metropolitana de Natal

The research in question looked for to establish the relation between the motivation (of the proprietor of apartment) to change itself of another one apartment, in closed vertical condominium (residential mobility) in the period of the recognition of the necessity, and the satisfaction with the apartment after consume. The universe or the population chosen for the development of the study was of proprietors of apartment in vertical condominiums located in the region metropolitan of Natal. The analysis of data was made using the techniques of linear regression and logistic regression between variables. The linear regression found relations between the motivations for housing change and the satisfaction in after consume with some attributes of the apartment. The logistic regression showed that relations between the motivations for change and the general satisfaction to the apartment exist as a whole, in the period after consumes. With regard to the motivation to change itself of a apartment for another one, some reasons shown more motivation them the others. The research found different degrees of satisfaction with certain characteristics of the apartment and degrees of no satisfaction with others. Finally the results of the research had contributed for the reply of the problem that guided the present study, therefore had obtained in such a way to find how much logistic not linear relations between the two periods purchase (recognition of the necessity and evaluation after consume) and had elucidated the process that goes since the choice the product until the satisfaction of the necessities

Estudo comparativo da injeção de água usando poços verticais e horizontais

Oil recovery using waterflooding has been until now the worldwide most applied method, specially for light oil recovery, its success is mainly because of the low costs involved and the facilities of the injection process. The Toe- To-Heel Waterflooding TTHWTM method uses a well pattern of vertical injector wells completed at the bottom of the reservoir and horizontal producer wells completed at the top of it. The main producing mechanism is gravitational segregation in short distance. This method has been studied since the early 90´s and it had been applied in Canada with positive results for light heavy oils, nevertheless it hasn´t been used in Brazil yet. In order to verify the applicability of the process in Brazil, a simulation study for light oil was performed using Brazilian northwest reservoirs characteristics. The simulations were fulfilled using the STARS module of the Computer Modelling Group Software, used to perform improved oil recovery studies. The results obtained in this research showed that the TTHWTM well pattern presented a light improvement in terms of recovery factor when compared to the conventional 5- Spot pattern, however, it showed lower results in the economic evaluation

Mover para melhor nascer: liberdade de movimentos e posições verticais no primeiro estádio do trabalho de parto

A Organização Mundial de Saúde destaca a deambulação e a adoção de posições verticais pela parturiente, como práticas demonstradamente benéficas, devendo ser estimuladas pela enfermeira obstetra na condução do trabalho de parto e parto normal, em situações de baixo risco obstétrico. O projeto preconizou a promoção da deambulação e o incentivo à adoção de posições verticais na fase ativa do trabalho de parto. As intervenções de enfermagem na promoção destas práticas foram avaliadas na equipa de enfermeiros obstetras do Serviço de Urgência Obstétrica e Ginecológica do Centro Hospitalar Barreiro-Montijo, Entidade Pública Empresarial e num grupo de parturientes, através da aplicação de questionários. As necessidades dos enfermeiros obstetras e das parturientes determinaram a realização de ações formativas e educacionais e a elaboração de materiais informativos de suporte à prática assistencial. A avaliação do projeto demonstrou que ainda existem práticas a serem melhoradas, sendo a sua continuidade vantajosa para profissionais e parturientes; ABSTRACT: TITLE: Move to Better Birth - Freedom of Movement and Upright Positions in First Stage of Labor. The World Health Organization highlights ambulation and adoption of vertical position by the woman, as demonstrated beneficial practices and should be encouraged by obstetric nurses in the conduct of obstetric labor and normal delivery, in low risk situations. The project advocated for the promotion of ambulation and encouragement for the adoption of vertical positions in the active phase of labor. Nursing interventions to promote these practices were evaluated in the obstetric nurses team of Obstetric and Gynecological Emergency Department from Hospital Center Barreiro-Montijo, Business Public Entity, and in a group of women in labor, through the use of questionnaires. The needs of obstetric nurses and women in labor determined the realization of training and educacional activities and the development of information materials to support the care practice. The project evaluation demonstrates that there are still practices to be improved, and its continuity being advantageous for professionals and women in labor.

OS ASSENTAMENTOS DE REFORMA AGRÁRIA NA ZONA DA MATA PERNAMBUCANA – BRASIL – E AS RELAÇÕES HORIZONTAIS E VERTICAIS COM O SETOR CANAVIEIRO NO SÉCULO XXI

A década de 1990 foi de muitas transformações no panorama econômico da Zona da Mata pernambucana. A crise no setor canavieiro, uma das principais atividades econômicas do Estado, foi agravada pela seca, que fez com que algumas usinas transferissem o seu capital para o Centro-Sul do país, fechassem ou reduzissem sua área de cultivo. Foi também nesse momento que os movimentos sociais rurais estavam ganhando força e conquistando áreas secularmente destinadas ao latifúndio monocultor de cana-de-açúcar - só na região tivemos mais de 100 assentamentos instituído nessa década. A década seguinte, porém, chamou a atenção pela retomada do apoio do Estado ao setor e a necessidade de retomar o uso das terras para o cultivo da cana. Esse novo movimento na conjuntura socioeconômica fomentada pelo Estado fez surgir relações horizontais e verticais entre assentados e usineiros e é a compreensão desse processo que esta pesquisa tenta elucidar. Para a  construção da pesquisa foram realizadas leituras bibliográficas a cerca do tema, da questão histórica da região, do setor econômico e dos conseitos norteadores de território e espaço. Os trabalhos de campo se fizeram presentes como uma forma de articular a teoria as práticas existentes nesse processo socioeconômico.

Avaliação de estrutura de bambu como elemento construtivo para casa de vegetação

The use of technology to protect and produce vegetables and ornamental plants was developed over several adaptation phases that supported the demand for quality and amount of products. These developments also reduced production costs and climate damage to the crops. Many of these adaptations were carried out by farmers on their own initiative, using different materials and devices to solve their problems. This study was carried out at Agricultural Engineering College - Campinas University/UNICAMP, from December 2002 to January 2003, with the objective of evaluating the deformations of the constructive system of bamboo structure for greenhouses, submitted to different spacing among columns, and different vertical strains. It was tested the use of beams and columns built with bamboo stems from the specie Bambusa tuldoides Munro. The beams and columns were tied together with plastic spacing parts, specially designed to facilitate and standardize the construction of the building, providing more resistance and stability. Three column spaces (2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 m) were evaluated under different load strains. The best result was obtained with a spacing of 2.5 m.

Fundações de construções submetidas a esforços de tração em solo de alta porosidade da região de Campinas - SP

This paper presents the behavior of three bored piles conducted in diabasic soil submitted to uplift forces. The piles were built at the site for Experimental Studies in Soil Mechanics and Foundations of UNICAMP, located in the city of Campinas, Brazil. Field tests have already been conducted at the site (SPT, CPT, DMT and PMT), as well as laboratory tests by using sample soils taken from a well up to 17 m deep. The water table is not checked until a depth of 17 m. In order to check the behavior of the piles when submitted to uplift forces, slow static load tests were carried out as the recommendations of NBR 12131. The carrying capacity of these piles was also provided by means of theoretical methods, appropriate for uplift forces, and through semi-empirical methods appropriate for compression forces, considering only the portion of lateral resistance. The values estimated by using the considered methods were compared to those obtained by means of load tests. One of the tested piles was extracted from the soil to be the subject of a study on its geometry.
