This project aims to improve the quality of life of individuals with special needs. This social duty is to integrate, temporarily or permanently, elderly or disabled people, contributing to their balance and well-being. Focused in the social economy (nursing homes, assisted and private residences) and aware the care to be provided to the elderly and dependent it is intended, together with Mundinter S.A., create more versatile and appealing furniture equipment for rooms. The interest in this topic is based on the analysis of the space and equipment functions / purpose, as well as the user’s needs. Through contextualization we try to find solutions allied to the design, though in enormous expansion with society influence, is still unexplored in furniture equipment for elderly or disabled people

Desenvolvimento de equipamento para estimular a propriocepção utilizando ímãs permanentes

This study developed the Magnetic Proprioceptive Stimulator – MPS at the Technological Federal University of Parana - UTFPR to stimulate, record and quantify the proprioceptive activity of the shoulder joint, using permanent magnets. A pilot study was conducted to investigate the proprioceptive stimulation generated by MPS. The results of this study show that the magnetic and mechanical forces generated by permanent magnets can change the static and dynamic stability of the shoulder joint. The angular changes of the shoulder joint during the stimulation of proprioception were photographed, videotaped and analyzed by vector editing program. The joint movements caused by the action of the magnets were recorded by an optical sensor installed in the MPS and displayed in a graphical interface for analyzing the proprioceptive dynamics. The study concluded that the Magnetic Proprioceptive Stimulator is safe, effective to stimulate proprioception and features high economic viability.

Desenvolvimento de equipamento para medir os intervalos R-R

This study aimed to develop a device to measure RR intervals, which have high correlation with the values of the gold standard device of electrocardiograph (ECG), by the time domain and frequency domain indices. To this end, a study was conducted with 18 students of Jiu-Jitsu, males with 35.5 ± 8.6 years, at least a weekly frequency of 3 times and one year training. The location was at the academy Gracie Barra de Curitiba PR. They underwent an examination at rest for a period of 7 minutes and then the results were converted into heart rate variability (HRV) and analyzed by the indexes in the time domain and the frequency domain. The results were compared statistically using the Pearson test and intraclass correlation (ICC) and according to them proves to be viable the development of this equipment, which is highly correlated and excellent reproducibility for measuring the RR intervals.

Equipamento de Proteção Individual (EPI) e Higienização das mãos

Este vídeo é um manual educativo para profissionais da área de saúde e informa sobre a importância da higienização das mãos e do uso de equipamentos de proteção individual (EPI) para a prevenção e redução das infecções causadas pelas transmissões cruzadas. Aborda os vários aspectos da higienização das mãos, o uso de água e sabão, a preparação alcoólica e os antissépticos. Indica também o que são, quais são e quem deve fornecer e treinar os profissionais em relação ao uso correto e consciente dos equipamentos de proteção Individual – EPI.

Qualidade da classificação do tomate de mesa em unidades de beneficiamento

Quality evaluation of classification was done in two fresh market tomatoes packing house, using electronically and mechanical equipments in two harvest periods, summer and winter seasons. The main goal of this work was to evaluate size and color grading conformity with the standards proposed by the Brazilian Program for Horticulture Modernization and size grading obtainded with the one established by the packer. The cultivar studied was Carmen. The results showed that there was no grade conformity with the fresh tomato quality standards proposed by the Brazilian Program for Horticulture Modernization. The grade conformity obtained when compared with the one programmed by the packer, was only for large sizes, in both equipments. The electronically equipment has presented better performance, over the mechanical, considering grading quality and fruits post-harvest quality. However, the electronically equipment must be constantly monitored to achieve efficiency and investment return. On the other side, for mechanical equipment it will be necessary to review the actual system of size grading, in order to follow the fresh tomato quality standards.

Caracterização de dois equipamentos de beneficiamento e classificação de tomates para mesa

On the last years, in Brazil, sorting and classifying fruits and vegetables using packing lines have increased. This work aimed at characterizing the cleaning process for fresh market tomatoes at two packing lines, one imported and one national located at Campinas, São Paulo State. Characterization included data, number, types and brushes velocity, water use, fruit standing time and cleaning efficiency. Standing time was measured correlating to fruit diameter (CEAGESP). For measuring cleaning efficiency an equipment was developed that was mainly composed of a ring involved with white cloth. Samples were taken before and after the cleaning step and evaluated using a colorimeter HUNTER Lab. The results showed a strong difference between the two equipments. The imported equipment showed lower number on brushes and rotation than national one, however a higher water consumption. For imported equipments this relation was not found. Both packing lines showed the same cleaning efficiency. Cleaning efficiency is related to be an interaction among the studies parameters, and it could be necessary a better management than the one used on both equipments.

Adequação de engates rápidos de aspersores como conectores de mangueira para distribuição de água em sulcos de irrigação

As a way to reduce water losses in furrow irrigation systems, used in fresh market tomato production, farmers are improperly distributing water into the field using plastic hose. The objective of this work was to study the suitability of using quick coupler sprinkler as hose connectors for water distribution in tomato plantation. The first step of the study was to assess the current hose field operation for tomato growers. Subsequently, four models of quick couplers sprinklers available in the market were tested in laboratory to determine the coefficient of resistance, the equivalent tube length, the head loss curve and the linking efficiency. As result, a structural design for hose connectors was presented using the model of coupling with the best hydraulic performance. Additionally, some technical recommendations on its use in irrigation water distribution are highlighted. Despite the requirement for additional field trials, the proposed system has potential to optimize the water use efficiency, to improve workers ergonomic conditions, and ensure good profitability to the producer.

Filtros de areia aplicados à irrigação localizada: teoria e prática

The application of sand filters in localized irrigation systems is recommended in the presence of organic and algae contamination. The proper design and maintenance of these equipments are essential to assure an effective water quality control, in order to reduce the emitters clogging, to keep its water application uniformity, and to prevent increasing in the system operation costs. Despite the existence of some references about design, operation and maintenance of these filters, they are dispersed, with not enough details to guarantee the optimization of its hydraulics structure design and the proper selection of porous media to be used. Therefore, the objective of this work was to report a current literature review, relating practical information with scientific knowledge. The content of this review would help to induce and intensify the research on this subject and to contribute so the operational functions for the equipment are reached. It is also expected to assist the improvement of the filtration and flushing processes in the agricultural irrigation and the development of original design procedures and the rational use of these devices.
