Estudo de manejo de ��guas pluviais urbanas na cidade Natal-Rio Grande do Norte

Urban stormwater can be considered as potential water resources as well as problems for the proper functioning of the manifold activities of the city, resulting from inappropriate use and occupation of the soil, usually due to poor planning of the occupation of the development areas, with little care for the environmental aspects of the drainage of surface runoff. As a basic premise, we must seek mechanisms to preserve the natural flow in all stages of development of an urban area, preserving the soil infiltration capacity in the scale of the urban area, comprising the mechanisms of natural drainage, and noting preserving natural areas of dynamic water courses, both in the main channel and in the secondary. They are challenges for a sustainable urban development in a harmonious coexistence of modern developmental, which are consistent with the authoritative economic environmental and social quality. Integrated studies involving the quantity and quality of rainwater are absolutely necessary to achieve understanding and obtaining appropriate technologies, involving both aspects of the drainage problems and aspects of use of water when subjected to an adequate management of surface runoff , for example, the accumulation of these reservoirs in detention with the possibility of use for other purposes. The purpose of this study aims to develop a computer model, adjusted to prevailing conditions of an experimental urban watershed in order to enable the implementation of management practices for water resources, hydrological simulations of quantity and, in a preliminary way, the quality of stormwater that flow to a pond located at the downstream end of the basin. To this end, we used in parallel with the distributed model SWMM data raised the basin with the highest possible resolution to allow the simulation of diffuse loads, heterogeneous characteristics of the basin both in terms of hydrological and hydraulic parameters on the use and occupation soil. The parallel work should improve the degree of understanding of the phenomena simulated in the basin as well as the activity of the calibration models, and this is supported by monitoring data acquired during the duration of the project MAPLU (Urban Stormwater Management) belonging to the network PROSAB (Research Program in Basic Sanitation) in the years 2006 to 2008

Cuidados paliativos e ser-para-morte: reflex��es sobre um atendimento psicol��gico

Death is a theme that fascinates, though at the same time, frightens and uneasy the human being, despite the finitude being present at our daily lives. In each historical time, death has been represented in a peculiar way, from familiar death (at Middle Ages), to interdicted death (at contemporary times). Through this path it‟s possible to recognize several attitudes and stages front of death and the process of dying as possibilities of coping and the understanding of these occurrences. In other hand, the palliative care proposal came as a humanized attention, front of the human finitude, recognizing death as a part of the vital cycle. The Brazilian reality, in this context, still faces a lot of political, economic and social barriers that makes difficult the consolidation of palliative care at the death process in the Brazilian Health Care policies. Currently, according to the Brazilian Palliative Care Association, Brazil presents an average of 40 services with this proposal. Such data portray our inexpressive condition in relation to these cares when considering the territorial extension and population of our country. Considering this scenario is relevant think about death and the process of dying at contemporary times, at a health context in which palliative care, when trying to humanize the process of dying, bring to light the issue of human finitude and the beingtowards- death, as thought by the philosopher Martin Heidegger. According to him, the human being (Dasein) is constituted as a being-towards-death, once death is its most own potentiality-for-bein and its last possibility to be lived. In view of the ideas presented, the proposed study appears as a qualitative research of existential-phenomenological inspiration and aims to understand the experience of being-toward-death from the psychological care to a person out of possibilities of cure living on palliative cares. The psychological care happened at the patient‟s home, understanding the clinical process of being-with-the-other from the written reports of the psychology/researcher, by the accompanying sessions, configured as an experience report. These reports are focused on the experiences lived by the patient, as well as apprehended by the psychologist at the intersubjectivity relation and its own experience with Dasein and, therefore, being-toward-death. The reports were hermeneutically interpreted, from the senses that emerged in this process, considering the notion of being-toward-death proposed by Heidegger. Furthermore, it was important to dialogue with other authors that approached the studied theme. It is perceived, through brief and meaningful reflections about the clinical treatments started, that the experience of illness with no possibilities of cure makes the Dasein revises feelings and experiences that were marked at the temporality and historicity of existence. It is a stage of life in which the cultural dimension and the common sense of finitude, often gains ground in the human condition, taken in its ordinary sense, unlike the way it has been thought from an ontological and existential perspective of death. Thus, there are singulars and revealing paths in the palliative care scenery as possible ways for authenticity of being-toward-death

Estudo da viabilidade do desenvolvimento de sistemas integrados baseados em redes em chip sem processadores: sistema IPNoSys

The increase of capacity to integrate transistors permitted to develop completed systems, with several components, in single chip, they are called SoC (System-on-Chip). However, the interconnection subsystem cans influence the scalability of SoCs, like buses, or can be an ad hoc solution, like bus hierarchy. Thus, the ideal interconnection subsystem to SoCs is the Network-on-Chip (NoC). The NoCs permit to use simultaneous point-to-point channels between components and they can be reused in other projects. However, the NoCs can raise the complexity of project, the area in chip and the dissipated power. Thus, it is necessary or to modify the way how to use them or to change the development paradigm. Thus, a system based on NoC is proposed, where the applications are described through packages and performed in each router between source and destination, without traditional processors. To perform applications, independent of number of instructions and of the NoC dimensions, it was developed the spiral complement algorithm, which finds other destination until all instructions has been performed. Therefore, the objective is to study the viability of development that system, denominated IPNoSys system. In this study, it was developed a tool in SystemC, using accurate cycle, to simulate the system that performs applications, which was implemented in a package description language, also developed to this study. Through the simulation tool, several result were obtained that could be used to evaluate the system performance. The methodology used to describe the application corresponds to transform the high level application in data-flow graph that become one or more packages. This methodology was used in three applications: a counter, DCT-2D and float add. The counter was used to evaluate a deadlock solution and to perform parallel application. The DCT was used to compare to STORM platform. Finally, the float add aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the software routine to perform a unimplemented hardware instruction. The results from simulation confirm the viability of development of IPNoSys system. They showed that is possible to perform application described in packages, sequentially or parallelly, without interruptions caused by deadlock, and also showed that the execution time of IPNoSys is more efficient than the STORM platform

Busca aperfei��oar um conceito utilizado na engenharia sanit��ria aplicado a princ��pios de projetos de vias marginais de canais, pequenas vielas de dificil acesso e vias que conduzem coletores troncais do sistema de esgoto sanit��rio chamado de via sanit��ria. Utiliza um estudo de caso na cidade de Bel��m: a bacia da Estrada Nova, caracterizando seu funcionamento e relacionando-os com a situa����o urban��stica dos bairros contidos no territ��rio da bacia, a partir da legisla����o de uso e controle da ocupa����o urbana. Como resultado, o trabalho apresenta elementos para uma reconceitua����o de via sanit��ria que incorpora a situa����o urban��stica e cuidados necess��rios para que projetos de drenagem se tornem integrados ao funcionamento urban��stico da cidade.

No colo da ama de leite: a pr��tica cultural da amamenta����o e dos cuidados das crian��as na Prov��ncia do Gr��o-Par�� no s��culo XIX

O presente estudo trata da pr��tica cultural da amamenta����o e dos cuidados com as crian��as pelas amas de leite na Prov��ncia do Gr��o-Par�� no s��culo XIX. As amas de leite tiveram um papel importante no ��mbito simb��lico, social e cultural da vida privada da sociedade patriarcal-escravocrata no Brasil no s��culo XIX. Na Prov��ncia do Gr��o-Par�� era recorrente a contrata����o de amas de leite para amamentar e cuidar das crian��as. A quest��o central que norteou o estudo foi: Qual a presen��a das amas de leite na hist��ria da inf��ncia paraense, sobretudo as significa����es culturais, sociais e afetivas na vida da crian��a na Prov��ncia do Gr��o-Par�� no s��culo XIX? Os objetivos da pesquisa foram: a) identificar a origem das amas de leite e sua import��ncia para a hist��ria da inf��ncia; b) descrever a hist��ria da amamenta����o e os discursos dos m��dicos higienistas sobre os cuidados com a crian��a, a m��e e as amas de leite; c) destacar o significado das amas de leite na amamenta����o, nos cuidados e na educa����o das crian��as no s��culo XIX na Prov��ncia do Gr��o-Par��; d) identificar a solicita����o dos servi��os das amas de leite para atender as crian��as na Prov��ncia do Gr��o-Par��. Metodologicamente utilizamos a pesquisa hist��rica e documental, composta por um corpus de 92 an��ncios publicados no per��odo de 1845 a 1888, nos jornais paraenses Treze de Maio, A Constitui����o, Di��rio de Bel��m, O Liberal do Par��, A Regenera����o, Gazeta Official, Di��rio do Commercio e O Paraense. O corpus foi obtido na Biblioteca Artur Vianna (CENTUR) e na Hemeroteca da Biblioteca Nacional Digital, tendo sido organizado em 12 categorias de an��lise, com base na an��lise de conte��do de Laurence Bardin. Os resultados demonstram a exist��ncia de um com��rcio indiscriminado de compra e venda de amas de leite na Prov��ncia do Gr��o-Par��, inclusive valorizando as mais jovens, com bons costumes, boa higiene, sadias e que n��o tivessem cria. O perfil social das amas de leite da Prov��ncia do Gr��o-Par�� no per��odo estudado era semelhante aos presentes nas demais Prov��ncias do Brasil, sendo ela geralmente escrava e se fosse livre, era pobre e predominantemente negra. No final do s��culo XIX, os m��dicos higienistas argumentavam que as amas de leite transmitiam doen��as e eram ���mercen��rias���, recomendando a amamenta����o materna ou o uso de leite industrializado. No entanto, verificou-se que a influ��ncia da ama de leite para a crian��a foi al��m da rela����o afetiva, repercutindo em sua educa����o, linguagem, alimenta����o, enfim em diversos aspectos de sua cultura.
