Diário da Constituinte [gravação de vídeo] : [programa n. 116A]

A Assembleia Nacional Constituinte (ANC) realiza debate sobre a política econômica atual, preocupada em fazer uma Constituição voltada para a realidade . O primeiro encontro ocorreu com Walter Barelli, Diretor do Departamento Intersindical de Estudos Estatísticos Sócio-Econômicos - DIEESE, que apresentou estudos realizados sobre o Plano Bresser. Plínio Arruda Sampaio (PT-SP) afirma que, devido a subserviência da política econômica ao capital estrangeiro, o desemprego aumentou. Bresser Pereira, Ministro da Fazenda, fez um balanço da situação econômica do país e debateu o assunto durante seis horas, apresentando dados a respeito do seu plano. Dalton Canabrava (PMDB-MG) acha que o Plano Bresser é bem fundamentado. Cristina Tavares (PMDB-PE) defende o parlamentarismo para evitar a permanência no poder de ministros com tais teses. Carlos Sant'Anna (PMDB-BA) opina que a situação econômica é dramática. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT-SP) diz que existe uma distância entre o Executivo e o Legislativo. Delfim Netto (PDS-SP) gostou da exposição e diz que devemos saudar a volta da racionalidade na política econômica. César Maia (PDT-RJ) acredita que as medidas irão alongar e aprofundar a recessão. Gastoni Righi (PTB-SP) defende o debate para encontrar as melhores soluções dentro da futura Carta. Bresser Pereira diz que o plano de congelamento está dando certo.

Postpartum fatigue and driving : relating experiences, thoughts and opinions 12 weeks post-birth

Fatigue in the postnatal period is such a common experience for most mothers that the term ‘postpartum fatigue’ (PPF) has been coined to describe it. When new mothers experience extreme fatigue, it follows that their physical health, mental health, and social-wellbeing is negatively affected. It is interesting to note that there is a distinct lack of empirical investigations focusing on the link between PPF and increased risk of injury; particularly when the links between fatigue and increased risk of road crashes are well documented. The purpose of this investigation was to undertake pilot research to develop an understanding of the duration of PPF and the performance impairments experienced by new mothers when involved in safety-sensitive activities, such as driving a motor vehicle. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with women (N = 24) at 12 weeks postpartum living in South-east Queensland, Australia. Key themes were identified; with a particular emphasis towards understanding the link between the participant’s experience of postpartum fatigue and the impact this has on their overall cognitive and physiological functioning, as well as their experience of the driving task. Further, sleep/wake data was collected and using the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) the potential crash risk for this group of mothers is discussed. It is proposed that the findings of this investigation could be used to improve current knowledge among new mothers and practitioners regarding the mechanisms and consequences of fatigue and to inform interventions that lead to a decreased risk of injury associated with postpartum fatigue.
