Nível de conhecimento dos cirurgiões dentistas sobre a qualidade dos prontuários odontológicos para fins de identificação humana

Objective: The aim of this research was to determine the knowledge level of 400 dentists registered in the Regional Dental Council of Cuiabá, through a questionnaire about the importance of records in the process of human identification. Results: We observed that 48.36% of them dispense between 10 and 20 minutes. Only 13.1% of the surveyed dentists did not have the habit of writing down the oral conditions of their patients before starting treatment and 42.62% have only one odontogram filled. From the 122 participants, 11.11% reported that the documentation had no utility to establish the patients identity. To make the situation worse, 33.6% of them said they did not keep the records of patients updated. Conclusion: We conclude that the dentist of Cuiabá has enough knowledge on preparing, maintaining and importance of dental records before the death in the identification process for establishing the patient identity. But, always he did not properly fills the dental records, thus it has been reducing their clinical, administrative and legal value.

Tratamento tardio de traumatismo dentário anterior pela técnica de apicificação

Introdução: paciente do sexo masculino, 37 anos de idade. Após a anamnese, foi constatado que o dente 11 apresentava abertura coronária e presença de hidróxido de cálcio com histórico de trauma dentário nesse dente. Radiograficamente, o dente 11 apresentava formação radicular incompleta, paredes dentinárias finas e frágeis, com divergência foraminal associada a imagem radiolúcida periapical. Objetivo: relatar um caso clínico de apicificação, realizado com trocas de curativo de hidróxido de cálcio. Métodos: o tratamento de escolha foi a apicificação, a qual teve início na segunda sessão, após 15 dias, por meio de desbridamento químico-mecânico de todo o canal radicular, com limas tipo K e irrigação com uma solução de hipoclorito de sódio a 2,5%. Em seguida, pasta de hidróxido de cálcio (hidróxido de cálcio, iodofórmio e propilenoglicol) foi aplicada e trocada de 15 em 15 dias, durante 4 meses. O exame radiográfico foi novamente realizado e demonstrou o fechamento completo da abertura foraminal e regressão da radiolucência periapical. O canal radicular foi obturado utilizando-se um cone confeccionado a partir da união de três cones #60 e pela técnica de condensação lateral com Sealapex. Resultados: seis meses após a obturação, exames revelaram tecidos periapicais normais e ausência de sintomas. Conclusão: concluiu-se que o tratamento do traumatismo dentário associado à necrose do tecido pulpar e à lesão periapical, com trocas sucessivas de pasta de hidróxido de cálcio, foi adequado para se obter a regressão da lesão periapical, formação de barreira mineralizada e promoção de saúde ao paciente.

Educação e sustentabilidade: relações possíveis

Considering the defi nition of Environmental Education as a human development process that seeks the transformation of the relationship between society and environment, this paper – collectively written by the members of the research group – discusses the theoretical framework of our studies, understanding them not as ’straitjackets’ that force us to repeat and reproduce predetermined analysis, but as a pathway, a method to interpret reality, a method to look for the essence of the studied phenomena, the real world. The theoretical framework we present helps us, therefore, to overcome the fragmented feature of the construction of knowledge proposed by methodologies in whose epistemological axis are located empiricism, positivism and idealism, as well as to fi nd out the laws of the phenomena whose study concerns us. It also helps us to capture in detail the details of the problems, to analyze their evolution and track the connections between phenomena that surround them. That is the Historical, Dialectical and Materialistic method formulated by Marx and those who came after him, also known as the philosophy of praxis. Based on this reference, we discuss here the relationship between environmental education and sustainability, bringing the concepts of sustainable development and sustainability into the debate, concluding that for the critical perspective explained here, environmental education for sustainability is a process that joins theory and practice for the transformation of the relationships between societies and the environment. This is the critical dimension of environmental education as we comprehend it.

Deficiência visual e educação científica: orientações didáticas com um aporte na neurociência cognitiva e teoria dos campos conceituais

The aim of this paper is to present an educational proposal with didactic and pedagogical orientations, to the Science Education for people with visual impairments. Then, we use as main reference, Gérard Vergnaud’s Theory of Conceptual Fields, joining with a translational focus, applying empirical results of Cognitive Neuroscience. Within this, we highlight the role of educational activities related with 'multisensory scientific literacy ', focusing on the linguistic triad: read, interpretation and textual representation. We hope this perspective, become in the future an important component on guidelines for composing a 'semiotic protocol' for Science Education. Realizing too, epistemological peculiarities, pedagogic and didactic specificities in this area, and, revealing such properties on the cognitive constructs, for science and technology education.

Aprendizagem significativa do conceito de ressonância

In this research work we verified the interaction between teacher and students through the use of reading an alternative text, the use of an experimental activity demonstration and presentation of videos involving the concept of resonance in a room on the 3rd year of teaching medium, led to meaningful learning of that concept. The instruments for the creation of data were based on audio and video records, taken during the lecture and the written evaluations performed by the students two weeks later. The results showed that this interaction, mediated by the use of these resources, led to meaningful learning of the concept of resonance. It was also possible to observe the students' motivation to participate actively in class.

Supervisão da furação com foco na estimativa do diâmetro do furo

Processos automatizados, como a furação, podem melhorar com o uso de métodos de controle e supervisão, com destaque para sensores e redes neurais artificiais. Neste estudo, foram utilizados diferentes sensores instalados em máquina-ferramenta para o registro dos sinais de força de avanço, potência elétrica, aceleração e sinal acústico, durante a furação de corpos de prova compostos por uma liga de titânio seguida de uma liga de alumínio. Os sinais e os diâmetros dos furos medidos na furação das amostras foram utilizados no treinamento da rede neural artificial. Os erros foram apresentados e analisados. Os resultados demonstraram alta capacidade da rede em estimar o diâmetro do furo nas diferentes condições de usinagem com erros baixos e até mesmo desprezíveis para a maior parte das aplicações industriais, mostrando assim eficiência do método proposto.

Simulação de modelagem qualitativa para avaliação preliminar da qualidade da água na Bacia do Ribeirão das Perdizes em Campos do Jordão/SP, como subsídio ao enquadramento

The purpose of this research was to present the principles for the implementation of a future water body classification program at the UGRHI-1 (Management Unit of Water Resources-1/São Paulo, Brazil) using qualitative and quantitative water modeling. Our study area was in Campos do Jordão, a city in the state of São Paulo, specifically in the Perdizes river watershed, which is included in the UGRHI-1. The water quality assessment used a modeling mehtodology that can support a future study for the classification of water bodies in the region. The behavior of DO and BOD parameters was assessed in the water quality scenarios, considering the variations of flows, loads, reductions in withdrawals and different efficiencies in sewage treatment. The model used was QUAL2E developed by USEPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) that received a new graphic interface named QUAL2R model. The reference flows Q7,10, Q95% and Qm used were obtained through the DAEE (Department of Water and Electric Energy) hydrologic regionalization method. It was noted that of the 9 proposed scenarios, only scenario 6 that was predicted in the flow regime Qm with the existence of a treatment system capable of removing 93% of the BOD, in the Perdizes River remained 67.5% of the time in class 2. Scenario 8 predicted a 50% reduction in In scenario 8 a reduction of 50% in the flow captured in CA-04, associated with the efficiency of 93% of BOD removal keeping the river in class 2. In scenario 9 the minimum required efficiency in sewage treatment in the flow regime Q95% for keeping the river in class 2 was also calculated and the value of 94.7% was obtained.
