Reflections on tomorrow’s menu : evidence for inpatient meal preferences at a large tertiary public hospital

There are limited studies that describe patient meal preferences in hospital; however this data is critical to develop menus that address satisfaction and nutrition whilst balancing resources. This quality study aimed to determine preferences for meals and snacks to inform a comprehensive menu revision in a large (929 bed) tertiary public hospital. The method was based on Vivanti et al. (2008) with data collected by two final year dietetic students. The first survey comprised 72 questions, achieved a response rate of 68% (n = 192), with the second more focused at 47 questions achieving a higher response rate of 93% (n = 212). Findings showed over half the patients reporting poor or less than normal appetite, 20% describing taste issues, over a third with a LOS >7 days, a third with a MST _ 2 and less than half eating only from the general menu. Soup then toast was most frequently reported as eaten at home when unwell, and whilst most reported not missing any foods when in hospital (25%), steak was most commonly missed. Hot breakfasts were desired by the majority (63%), with over half preferring toast (even if cold). In relation to snacks, nearly half (48%) wanted something more substantial than tea/coffee/biscuits, with sandwiches (54%) and soup (33%) being suggested. Sandwiches at the evening meal were not popular (6%). Difficulties with using cutlery and meal size selection were identified as issues. Findings from this study had high utility and supported a collaborative and evidenced based approach to a successful major menu change for the hospital.

Impacto da internacionalização sobre o sistema de controle gerencial de empresas brasileiras: um estudo de caso múltiplo: os casos da Lupatech S/A e da Di Solle Cutelaria Ltda

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi verificar os impactos ocasionados pelo processo de internacionalização sobre o sistema de controle gerencial em duas empresas brasileiras: a Lupatech S/A que atua no ramo de Metal-mecânica e a Di Solle Cutelaria no ramo de Aço inox. Deste modo, o estudo compara a relação entre os sistemas de controle gerencial utilizado pelas empresas, com a estrutura teórica apresentada, buscando evidenciar as modificações causadas em função do processo de internacionalização. Na revisão de literatura procurou-se discutir inicialmente as principais características do sistema de controle gerencial, as perspectivas contemporâneas relacionadas ao ambiente, ciclo de vida das organizações e alguns instrumentos utilizados no controle gerencial. Em seguida, foram abordadas as teorias que analisam o processo de internacionalização das empresas e por fim, o sistema de controle gerencial em ambiente internacionalizado. Foi definido um plano de referência para nortear o estudo. Em virtude das características e propósitos desta pesquisa utilizou-se na metodologia aplicada a pesquisa exploratória do tipo exploratório-descritiva, por meio do método de estudo de caso, por possibilitar um alcance maior no nível de profundidade sobre o tema e permitir maior poder de análise de uma ou mais organizações, através da comparação destas com os modelos idealizados nas literaturas existentes. O método de coleta utilizado foi à entrevista aplicada: ao Controller, ao gerente de exportação e ao gerente comercial das empresas pesquisadas. Os resultados obtidos nesta pesquisa constataram que a internacionalização não foi à única variável responsável pela mudança do sistema de controle gerencial utilizado pelas empresas. No mais, o controle gerencial das empresas em muitos aspectos aproximam-se do que foi apresentado na revisão de literatura.

Extensive, economical and elegant : the habitus of gentility in early nineteenth century Sydney

This paper challenges the modern expectation that mahogany furniture and silver cutlery were self-evident indicators of gentry status in colonial Sydney through close analysis of a bundle of middle class household inventories of the 1840s. They are considered as evidence of habitus--the structuring interaction of mentality with the material world--in order to demonstrate the active principle of consumption in the claim or assertion of bourgeois standing, which was particularly lively in the colony. A range of competences can he seen in the practice of gentility, which suggests that the possession of rosewood rather than mahogany, or imitation silver rather than sterling, was a variation shaped not merely by wealth but by cultural capital. This exposes strands of contingency, competition and compromise in middle class expression.

The weight of the thing left its mark

The weight of the thing left its mark imagines and abstracts a domestic situation where the relationships are under constant negotiation and held by what has been left unsaid. Framed by the unexpected use of kitchen cutlery the performance has a loosely knit structure that makes the dancing immediate and the quality of attention very alive.

The weight of the thing left its mark

The weight of the thing left its mark frames improvised dancing through relationships between the dancers, a live soundscape and the uses of masses of cutlery. The simple, evocative design of the space alludes to farmhouse domesticity, but the atmosphere is taught as the dancers negotiate the psychological and physical interactions that determine their improvisations.

Adaptação da produção aos objetivos de competitividade e produtividade: a pesquisa-ação em uma manufatureira de cutelaria inserida em rede

One of the oldest segments in operations management, whose models are always subject to development efforts, for academics and productive organizations, is the management of production and work organization. Proposals for strategic management principles that seek to bring production to streamline processes reduce costs and add value, identifying problems with material flow and information while reducing the response time. This is realized through the pursuit of the best actions to achieve goals and targets established in a successful Planning and Production Control. This article aims to identify and implement actions that increase the speed of supply of goods produced in a enterprise cutlery; positively influencing the perception of customers. Such attitudes benefit all actors involved in the network, a fact which is expressed in the production chain. To lay the foundations of research and validate the data obtained, it was a study drawing on action research methodology. The goods produced are sold, mainly to wholesalers. Was proved seven aspects to improve and enhance the competitiveness of the organization, among them the complete design of the network, integrating upstream and downstream actors.

Hot-Dip Aluminizing of Low-Carbon Steels

In a relatively short period of sixty-five years, aluminum has grown to the rank of fifth in total weight of met­als produced in the world. Throughout its short life, aluminum has been found to have excellent corrosion-resistant properties; yet only in recent years has aluminum been under consideration as a corrosion-resistant coating for iron and steel.
