Uso da entrevista em disserta����es e teses produzidas em um programa de p��s-gradua����o em educa����o

The interview has been a widely used procedure of research in humanities. Despite the frequent use, researches are not always supported in the literature on research methodology. The aim of this study was to analyze how the interview was used in dissertations and theses in a graduate Program in Education at a university in Sao Paulo state. This study examined 167 final papers developed in to period of five years. Variables focused were: justification for the use of interview, type of interview used, guide elaboration and adaptation, kind of analysis, among others. The results showed that it is still necessary to incorporate the contents of the research methodology underlying the use of the interview to achieve the scientific rigor for this procedure.

Mobili��rios adaptados para pessoas com paralisia cerebral: um levantamento das teses e disserta����es produzidas no Brasil

The Assistive Technology makes the lives of people without disabilities more practical, but for people with disabilities it can make things possible. For these individuals can provide the conditions, making their limitations are not obstacles to their social and personal empowerment, and may contribute to their effective participation in tasks that were previously impossible, such as remaining seated correctly. A segment on which the necessary assistive technology works, is the adaptation of furniture such as chairs, tables, chairs-to-wheels for individuals with disabilities, as well as cerebral palsy. The study aimed to conduct a survey and brief description of theses and dissertations produced in Brazil on furniture adapted for students with cerebral palsy. We made searching in databases of libraries of major universities and federal state national banks, theses and dissertations. Nine studies were selected for description. It was concluded that there is a considerable array of professionals, both in engineering as the field of rehabilitation, to contribute in the adaptation, creation and even the manufacture of furniture for children with cerebral palsy and that the securities most studied are the chairs and their components.

Consumo, digestibilidade e balan��o de nitrog��nio de cordeiros alimentados com alto teor de amido ou fibra sol��vel em detergente neutro associados ao ��leo de girassol

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different carbohydrate sources associated with sunflower oil on intake, digestibility of nutrients and nitrogen balance in diets of lambs. Twenty lambs were used, assigned in a completely randomized design with a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments with two sources of neutral detergent soluble carbohydrate, starch and neutral detergent soluble fiber, with and without the inclusion of 4.2% sunflower oil. The dry matter intake was not affected by carbohydrate sources and the inclusion of oil. Diets with a high percentage of starch provided higher digestibility of dry matter, starch and ether extract. The different sources of carbohydrates had no interference on digestibility of organic matter, crude protein, neutral detergent soluble fiber, nonfiber carbohydrates, neutral detergent fiber, hemicellulose and acid detergent fiber. The addition of oil in the diets increased the digestibility of ether extract. The combination of 4.2% oil in the diet high in soluble neutral detergent fiber had no influence on the nutrient digestibility, otherwise, the addition of oil at high starch diet caused a significant reduction in the digestibility of organic matter, neutral detergent fiber, hemicellulose and nonfiber carbohydrates. The quantities of nitrogen intake, absorbed and retained, did not differ as sources of carbohydrates and oil inclusion in the diet. The association of 4.2 % sunflower oil to the different sources of carbohydrates in the diet does not affect consumption and nitrogen metabolism in lambs. The addition of 4.2 % oil in the diet with high starch (28% of DM diet) promotes reduction in digestibility of organic matter, of fibrous and nonfibrous carbohydrate in the diet.

Estudo da vaz��o espec��fica nas bacias hidrogr��ficas dos rios Aguape�� e Peixe como subs��dio �� gest��o dos recursos h��dricos

A ��rea de estudo deste trabalho engloba as bacias hidrogr��ficas dos rios Aguape�� e Peixe, localizadas a Oeste do Estado de S��o Paulo. Estas por sua vez est��o vinculadas aos Comit��s de Bacias Hidrogr��ficas Aguape�� e Peixe (CBH-AP). Diante da imin��ncia da implementa����o da pol��tica de cobran��a pelo uso dos recursos h��dricos nessa ��rea, o presente trabalho apresenta em linhas gerais o estudo da vaz��o espec��fica de forma que os resultados possam contribuir com os ��rg��os p��blicos de gest��o a fim de que se execute uma gest��o mais efetiva dos recursos h��dricos. Com base em dados hidrol��gicos das esta����es fluviom��tricas inventariadas atrav��s do Sistema Integrado de Gest��o de Recursos H��dricos do Estado de S��o Paulo (SIGRH) e da Ag��ncia Nacional de ��guas (ANA) nas duas bacias hidrogr��ficas, procedeu-se o estudo da vaz��o espec��fica. Os resultados desses estudos apontam para uma maior variabilidade da vaz��o espec��fica m��dia na bacia hidrogr��fica do rio do Peixe, uma vez que ao longo da s��rie hist��rica essa bacia apresenta maiores valores de vaz��o, foi poss��vel tamb��m observar as mudan��as no comportamento da vaz��o hidrol��gica nas duas bacias hidrogr��ficas, ou seja, atrav��s dos tr��s per��odos hidrol��gicos identificados foi poss��vel depreender que a vaz��o espec��fica m��dia em um per��odo se mostra bem distribu��da em ambas as bacias hidrogr��ficas, em outro per��odo hidrol��gico essa distribui����o j�� se apresenta mais desigual. Tais informa����es possibilitam aos ��rg��os de gest��o um planejamento mais refinado e eficiente

Estudo dos mixozo��rios (Myxozoa : Myxosporea) parasitos dos peixes characiformes Acestrorhynchus lacustris (L��tken, 1875) e Steindachnerina insculpta (Fern��ndez-Y��pez, 1948) coletados no Rio do Peixe, m��dio Rio Tiet��, SP, Brasil

The S��o Paulo State has as one of its main rivers the Tiet��, which is an extremely important source because of its biodiversity, use in navigation and mainly as direct supplier of water for thousands of people in the region. Currently, the biodiversity of marine and freshwater ecosystems has been threatened, primarily by environmental problems resulting from the degradation of ecosystems, an example is the stretch of the Middle Tiet�� River, where the Barra Bonita dam (SP) focused virtually the whole load organic effluents from the metropolitan region of S��o Paulo, leading to eutrophication with the loss of water quality. This basin is located in the Peixe���s River, a tributary of the Barra Bonita whose sources are on the slopes of the Cuesta de Botucatu, presenting an altitudinal gradient in a good state of conservation and water quality. From another perspective, the studies related to parasites and other pathogens of aquatic organisms have considerably increased the relevance, especially those hosts with potential for growing and marketing, given the significant increase these activities in Brazil and worldwide. Among the agents responsible for diseases in fish are the myxosporean, which can cause major economic damage, with high mortality ratios. Based on the above, this study evaluated the biodiversity of myxosporean parasites of two species of fish Acestrorhynchus lacustris and Steindachnerina insculpta. During the period January to November 2012, 40 specimens of Acestrorhynchus lacustris and 33 specimens of Steindachnerina insculpta were collected from the Peoxe���s river at four different points. The necropsies were performed and all organs were analyzed looking for myxosporean. Only the species Steindachnerina insculpta had their gills parasitized by two species of the genus Henneguya

Avalia����o da atividade antidepressiva do ��leo essencial de Cananga odorata (ylang-ylang) em camundongos, por via oral

Sabe-se que o n��mero de plantas com atividade comprovada no sistema nervoso central vem crescendo ultimamente, resultado do interesse renovado nesta linha de investiga����o. O ��leo essencial da esp��cie Cananga odorata (Lam.) Hook. f. & Thomson possui ind��cios de uma potencial atividade do tipo antidepressiva. A depress��o maior ou depress��o unipolar �� um dist��rbio do sistema nervoso central com potencial para se tornar um dos maiores problemas de sa��de em termos de qualidade de vida e incapacita����o da popula����o mundial em alguns anos, e os tratamentos existentes na cl��nica possuem diversos problemas, principalmente relacionados a efeitos colaterais. O objetivo deste projeto foi avaliar a atividade antidepressiva do ��leo essencial da esp��cie Cananga odorata (ylang-ylang), administrado por via oral em camundongos. Foram utilizados camundongos Swiss, machos, com aproximadamente 45 dias de idade. O ��leo essencial foi solubilizado em Tween, nas seguintes concentra����es: 1, 10 e 100 mg/kg (administrado pela via oral ��� v.o.). O grupo controle negativo recebeu apenas Tween (v.o.), e o grupo controle positivo recebeu imipramina 30 mg/kg (via intraperitoneal), sempre no volume de 10 mL/kg. Os animais foram submetidos ao Teste da Suspens��o pela Cauda, para avalia����o da atividade do tipo antidepressiva, medindo-se o tempo total de imobilidade e a lat��ncia para o aparecimento do primeiro comportamento de imobilidade (em segundos); e ao Teste do Campo Aberto, para avalia����o de atividade motora, medindo-se o n��mero de quadrantes percorridos (indicador de ambula����o espont��nea), e o n��mero de rearings (indicador de comportamento explorat��rio). N��o foi observado efeito do tipo antidepressivo ou sobre a atividade motora e motivacional, em nenhuma das doses testadas do ��leo essencial de ylang-ylang, provavelmente pela dificuldade na correla����o entre a concentra����o administrada pela via inalat��ria e a dose por via oral

Cartografia tem��tica do atlas de sensibilidade ambiental a derramamentos de ��leo do litoral paulista

The objective of this paper is the elaboration and implementation of procedures in a cartographic representation related by fundamental of thematic cartography and graphic semiology for the standardization of the Environmental Oil Spill Sensitivity Maps supported by a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for handling and modeling of a large number of variables. These make up the Environmental Sensitivity Atlas to Oil Spills in Coastal Paulista, and that represents the phenomena that occur in geographic space accurately so as to highlight the importance of each element in the evaluation and protection of areas of greater sensitivity oil. The composition of the cartographic documents considers the Littoral Sensitivity Index (LSI), biological resources and the resources for human use that could be negatively impacted. Thus, the information contained in each map was carefully evaluated before implementation, so that the cartographic representations of various resources, environments, and other ISLs, the reader should issue an immediate message that could be understood clearly, without requiring prior knowledge of specialized. Another aspect was the distribution harmoniously all the elements contained in the document, so that information could be enough without overwhelming it. It was also taken a certain care, so each symbol could be used properly in order that there is no conflict in the information.

Avalia����o da atividade ansiol��tica e antidepressiva do ��leo essencial da Citrus aurantium L. administrado por via inalat��ria em camundongos

A investiga����o de plantas medicinais �� indispens��vel na busca de novas subst��ncias com potencial atividade ansiol��tica e antidepressiva, visto que a ansiedade e depress��o est��o entre os dist��rbios do sistema nervoso central (SNC) mais relevantes dentre os problemas de sa��de mundial. Tais plantas s��o fontes de ��leos essenciais (OE) que frequentemente s��o utilizados na aromaterapia, pois fornecem subst��ncias vol��teis capazes de curar e prevenir doen��as por meio da inala����o. Esta pr��tica j�� se mostrou efetiva sobre o SNC, trazendo benef��cios terap��uticos a pacientes que n��o respondiam bem aos tratamentos convencionais. Uma esp��cie vegetal cujo OE possui atividade sobre o SNC �� o Citrus aurantium L. (laranja amarga), esp��cie do g��nero que mostrou atividade ansiol��tica quando utilizado na aromatiza����o de ambiente na sala de espera de um consult��rio dent��rio. Aqui avaliamos o potencial efeito ansiol��tico e antidepressivo do OE de Citrus aurantium L por via inalat��ria em camundongos, por meio da resposta comportamental em modelos experimentais de ansiedade, o Labirinto em Cruz Elevado, e de depress��o, o Teste do Nado For��ado. Com esta avalia����o, o OE n��o foi efetivo por via inalat��ria em nenhuma das concentra����es testadas (0,5%, 1,0% e 2,5%), tanto para ansiedade quanto para depress��o. No entanto, este resultado n��o exclui a possibilidade de obten����o de tais efeitos se alterada a concentra����o de OE

Tratamento de ��guas oleosas oriundas do processo de produ����o de ��leo de dend�� utilizando a flota����o por ar dissolvido

This study was developed to evaluate the performance of different coagulant and pH dosages by applying the use of Dissolved Air Flotation (FAD) to enable its use in effluent treatment of the extraction process of palm oil. The study was developed in the laboratory, where studies about emulsions stability were made for the production of a synthetic effluent which best suit the characteristics of raw effluent. The synthetic water that would be used in the tests of FAD was produced, once the stability and characterization which best approached the raw wastewater was obtained. Trials tested three coagulant doses, combined with various pH ranges and five upward velocities (Va), finding an optimal range of this combination. Some operating parameters such as time and gradient of rapid mixing (20 s / 1000 s-1), time and gradient flotation (15 min / 60 s-1), chamber pressure saturation (450 kPa) and recirculation rate (20%) were set. In this way, samples were collected for analysis of the removal of turbidity parameters, suspended solids and oils and greases. This one is obtained by a correlation turbidity x oils and greases, referring to the previous analysis. The degree of removal obtained were 73,97% for turbidity, 51,4% for total suspended solids and 86,2% for oils and greases. Removal rates may be increased in later studies, by ranging the velocity gradient and flocculation parameters and the recirculation ratio, and by using lower flotation speeds to these effluent characteristics.
