Authors: Braga Antonio Jorge Tourinho , Borges Eduardo Euclydes de Lima e , Martins Sebastião Venâncio
Published: October 2015

RESUMOO objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a possível correlação dos fatores edáficos na distribuição dos indivíduos de espécies arbóreas e a similaridade florística entre as populações, em dois trechos distintos de um fragmento de Floresta Estacional Semidecidual, em Viçosa, MG (20°46' S e 42°52' W). No trabalho, foram amostrados os indivíduos arbóreos superiores ou iguais a 15 cm (CAP), presentes em 20 parcelas de 25×10 m, estando metade dessas alocadas (10) em cada trecho de floresta. Na área das parcelas, foram coletadas amostras de solo (0-10 cm) e submetidas às análises química e física. Os resultados dos atributos físicos e químicos do solo indicaram variações conforme as mudanças na topografia do terreno. A análise de correspondência canônica (CCA) indicou correlação significativa entre a distribuição das espécies arbóreas avaliadas no perfil topográfico e a fertilidade do solo, enquanto a comparação entre as espécies pertencentes às florestas inicial e avançada apontou baixa similaridade florística. Verificou-se ainda que espécies como Casearia arborea, Ocotea laxa, Myrcia fallax, Siparuna guianensis, Apuleia leiocarpa, Matayba elaeagnoides e Sparattosperma leucanthum estão associadas a solos argilosos mais ácidos, de encostas e com maior teor de alumínio, permitindo o uso delas em programas de recuperação ambiental.

RESUMOEsta pesquisa objetivou avaliar o efeito de diversos tipos de retardantes de fogo e dosagens na eficiência de combate aos incêndios florestais. O experimento foi realizado em mesa de combustão, em laboratório com quatro tipos de retardantes de fogo (WD 881, RFC-88, F-500 e HMIS 1-0-0 DPnb) em três concentrações (0,5%; 1%; e 1,5%), além de testemunha com água. A dosagem de calda da mistura de retardante com água utilizada foi de 0,5 L por metro quadrado de área. Para a análise, foi medido o tempo que o fogo levou para consumir a área com a aplicação do produto e a distância entre o início da parcela e o local onde o fogo se extinguiu. Durante a queima de cada parcela (tratamento/repetição), foram avaliadas as seguintes variáveis: umidade relativa, velocidade do vento, tempo gasto para o fogo queimar a parcela com e sem o produto e a distância que o fogo avançou na parcela com o produto. Os retardantes com maior eficiência foram o F-500, HMIS 1-0-0 DPnb e WD 881, que apresentaram diferença significativa pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade, diferenciando-se da testemunha e do RFC-88. A concentração mais eficiente foi a de 1,5%, com as menores taxas de inflamabilidade em todos os casos.

Published: October 2015

ABSTRACTThis study presents a contribution to the modeling of a computer application employing a method of serviceability performance for unpaved roads, aiming the management of maintenance/restoration activities of the primary surface layer. The proposed methodology consisted of field inspections during dry (April to September) and rainy (October to March) periods, during which objective evaluations were performed to survey of defects and their densities and degrees of severity. To aid the functional classification of analyzed road sections and the determination of the defect with major influence on the serviceability of these roads, the method of serviceability performance proposed by Silva (2009)was implemented in the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) language in Microsoft Excel software. With the use of the computer application proposed it was possible to identify among the defects analyzed in field, through the index of serviceability of the sampling unit per defect type (ISUdef), which one had the greatest influence on determining the relative serviceability index per road section (IST). The results allow us to conclude that the computer application Road achieved satisfactory results, since the objective evaluation criteria applied to road sections denotes consistency regarding their serviceability.

RESUMOO objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar o rendimento da matéria-prima de Eucalyptus benthamii, por meio dos desdobros tangencial e radial, além da classificação das toras quanto à presença das rachaduras de topo. A classificação das toras quanto às rachaduras foi realizada por meio da análise visual, em que era aplicado um conceito conforme a intensidade do defeito. Posteriormente, as toras foram separadas em duas classes diamétricas (20 a 25 e 25,1 a 30 cm) e processadas em três sistemas de desdobro (tangencial em bloco, radial e tangencial em bloco com face curva), sendo cada tratamento composto por três repetições com 10 toras cada um. Na análise estatística dos dados de rendimento, foram aplicados o teste de Kolmogorov Smirnov, a Análise da Variância e o teste de Tukey. Nos resultados, foi observado que a maioria das toras da classe de menor diâmetro apresentou intensidade mediana, enquanto na maior classe diamétrica a intensidade foi baixa. Os rendimentos médios líquidos encontrados foram de 43,5% e 39,2% nas classes inferior e superior, respectivamente, os quais foram influenciados pelas rachaduras das peças e pelos destopos. Observou-se que o desdobro tangencial em bloco e em face curva foram os métodos que apresentaram maior aproveitamento em madeira serrada na classe de 20 a 25 cm, enquanto na classe de 25,1 a 30 cm o sistema tangencial em bloco e radial foi equivalente.

Authors: Ferro Fabiane Salles , Icimoto Felipe Hideyoshi , Almeida Diego Henrique , Christoforo André Luís , Lahr Francisco Antonio Rocco
Published: October 2015

RESUMOO módulo de elasticidade na compressão paralela às fibras (Ec0) é um dos parâmetros de referência para estimar o desempenho da madeira. O Anexo B da Norma Brasileira ABNT NBR 7190:1997 estabelece, nos ensaios para determinação do Ec0, que seja tomada a medida de deformações em pelo menos duas faces opostas dos corpos de prova. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a influência dessas condições de ensaio nos valores de Ec0. Tal propriedade foi determinada a partir das deformações de duas faces opostas dos corpos de prova e, em seguida, a partir das deformações obtidas nas faces complementares. Foram utilizadas espécies de madeira de forma a abranger todas as classes de resistência assumidas pela citada norma. Os resultados indicam significativa variação de Ec0determinado nos ensaios referidos, evidenciando que tal situação deve ser considerada para futura revisão dos métodos de ensaio para determinação de propriedades da madeira para aplicação estrutural.
VARIATION OF MICROFIBRIL ANGLE OF Pinus radiata D. Don IN RELATION TO TREE SPACING IN CHILEAN PLANTATIONS
Authors: Alteyrac Jerome
Published: October 2015

ABSTRACTFour stands of 28-year-old radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) grown in the eighth region (Biobio) of Chile were sampled to determine the effect of tree spacing on the microfibril angle. The samples were taken at two different stem levels of the tree, 2.5 m and 7.5 m, with increment strip taken in the Nothern direction. The four experimental stands were characterized by the following spacing 2x2, 2x3, 3x4 and 4x4. The microfibril angle was measured by X-ray diffraction with the SilviScan technology at the FP-Innovation-Paprican Division in Vancouver, Canada. The results showed a significant effect of tree spacing on the microfibril angle in both juvenile wood and mature wood as well as at the two stem levels considered. The minimum (9.42º) was reached in 2x2 stand at 7.5 m in mature wood, while maximum microfibril angle (24.54º) was obtained in 2x3 stand at 2.5 m in juvenile wood. Regarding the effect of tree spacing, 4x4 stand had the lowest microfibril angle,except in mature wood at 7.5 m where 4x4 had the highest microfibril angle (11°) of the four stands.

Published: October 2015

RESUMOO Brasil é um grande produtor de painéis compensados, suas florestas de Pinus são as mais utilizadas nesse processo e grande parte dessa produção é destinada à indústria moveleira. Muitas espécies têm sido introduzidas no país para essa e outras finalidades, entre elas a Melia azedarach, que ainda requer diversos estudos tecnológicos para a melhor utilização de sua madeira. Nesse contexto, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a viabilidade de utilização da Melia azedarach para a produção de painéis compensados e o efeito da gramatura de adesivo e do tempo de prensagem sobre as propriedades dos painéis. Foram utilizadas cinco árvores provenientes de um plantio experimental localizado em Corupá, SC, das quais foram obtidas amostras para determinação da densidade básica (COPANT 461/1972) e das propriedades químicas (TAPPI 204, 1997; 207, 1999; 280, 1999; 212, 2002; 252, 2002), bem como para a obtenção das lâminas. Os painéis foram produzidos com dimensões de 500 mm x 500 mm x 10 mm (cinco lâminas), segundo um delineamento em arranjo fatorial (3x2) com três gramaturas (320 g/m2,360g/m2 e 400 g/m2) e dois tempos de prensagem (8 e 10 min), adesivo ureia-formaldeído, pressão específica de 1 MPa e temperatura de 110 °C. As propriedades dos painéis foram avaliadas a partir do ensaio de flexão estática (EN:310:2002) e resistência da linha de cola ao cisalhamento (EN 3141:2004 e EN 314-2:2002). Os resultados indicaram diferença estatística significativa dos efeitos principais: a gramatura e tempo de prensagem apenas no módulo de elasticidade no sentido perpendicular e a inexistência de diferença estatística significativa entre as médias a partir da interação dessas duas variáveis de resposta. Concluiu-se que a espécie apresenta viabilidade técnica para a produção de painéis compensados, podendo maximizar a produtividade e minimizar os custos de produção, por meio da utilização da menor gramatura de adesivo e do menor tempo de prensagem.

Published: October 2015

ResumoO objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o impacto de curto prazo da campanha de entrega de armas (política de buy-back) sobre a incidência de óbitos com armas de fogo no Estado do Paraná. Como neste estado a campanha teve início seis meses antes da campanha nacional (Janeiro/2004), foi possível utilizar o estimador de diferenças em diferenças, em que os municípios paranaenses constituíram o grupo de tratamento e o grupo de controle (formado por alguns municípios das regiões Centro-oeste, Sudeste e Sul do país) foi delimitado com a utilização de técnicas de propensity score matching. Da mesma forma que em outros países que adotaram este tipo de política, não se verificou impacto sobre a taxa de óbitos com armas de fogo durante os seis primeiros meses de campanha no Estado do Paraná, indicando que políticas de buy-back não contribuí ram, pelo menos a curto prazo, para a redução dos crimes envolvendo armas de fogo.
The ideologies of positive economics: technocracy, laissez-faire, and the tensions of Friedman's methodological claims
Authors: Rugitsky Fernando
Published: October 2015

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to address some connections between Milton Friedman's classic essay on methodology and the rise of neoliberal thinking. In order to do so, it briefly reconstructs Friedman's methodological claims and reinterprets the debate about them. Emphasis is put on the tensions between instrumentalism and realism or pragmatism, and between empiricism and the defense of Chicago price theory. Then, these tensions are related to a tension that is arguably inherent in neoliberalism, between technocracy and laissez-faire. The argument presented aims to contribute to bridging the gap between the recent literature on neoliberalism and the older one on Friedman's methodological essay.

Ocorre um 'Mito Monetário' no Brasil? Um estudo do padrão cíclico de índices de preços nacionais
Authors: Magalhães Matheus Albergaria de , Toscano Victor Nunes
Published: October 2015

ResumoO comportamento de índices de preços em frequências cíclicas constitui um importan te critério de julgamento de teorias macroeconômicas alternativas. Especificamente, Kydland e Prescott (1990), analisando dados norte-americanos relacionados ao período pós-guerra, chamaram atenção para a ocorrência de um padrão contracíclico dos preços, o que constituiria um "mito monetário", segundo os autores, dada a crença anterior mente generalizada de que os preços exibiriam um padrão procíclico no curto prazo. Por conta disto, o objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar o padrão cíclico de distintos índices de preços relacionados à economia brasileira ao longo do período 1980:01/2013:04 (dados trimestrais), atentando para a possível ocorrência de um "mito monetário" no caso do contexto nacional. Os resultados obtidos demonstram, à primeira vista, que não é possível registrar um padrão definido de direção dos preços para este período amostral. Por outro lado, quando são considerados os períodos anterior e posterior à instauração do Plano Real, verifica-se a vigência de padrões diametralmente opostos, com a ocorrência de um padrão contracíclico no primeiro período (1980:01/1994:02) e procíclico no segundo (1994:03/2013:04). Estes resultados são robustos à utilização de diversos métodos de filtragem, à definição de periodicidades alternativas para os ciclos de negócios, assim como ao emprego de distintos índices de preços. Em última instância, resultados nestes moldes chamam atenção para mudanças no ambiente macroeconômico nacional ao longo das últimas décadas.
O componente cultural no ensino e aprendizagem de línguas: desenvolvimento histórico e perspectivas na contemporaneidade
Authors: Salomão Ana Cristina Biondo
Published: October 2015

RESUMO O componente cultural no ensino de línguas tem muitas vezes enfocado prescrições comportamentais e informações sobre o outro, geralmente envoltos em uma visão de compreensão e ausência de conflitos, recusando-se a ser ideológico e minimizando a problematização. Cultura, a nosso ver, é um processo constitutivo, dinâmico e (re)construído na interação, o que coloca para o ensino e aprendizagem de língua estrangeira a necessidade de problematizar a noção de cultura nacional una e homogênea, que geralmente domina as práticas pedagógicas na área. Cremos ser importante não se associar uma língua a uma cultura e vice-versa, mas sim abranger questões que levam em conta a subjetividade do aprendiz e do professor. Assim, a fim de contribuir com a discussão sobre o componente cultural no ensino e aprendizagem de línguas, partimos de uma apresentação do desenvolvimento histórico do conceito de cultura, desde sua etimologia, perpassado seu desdobramento semântico e conceitual nas Ciências Sociais e Humanas, para então adentrarmos as teorias da Linguística Aplicada ao ensino de línguas estrangeiras. Nesse sentido, discutimos as abordagens para inserção do componente cultural no ensino e aprendizagem de línguas, apontando para o fato de que os avanços teóricos não correspondem ao que geralmente é trazido nos livros didáticos e práticas de sala de aula em relação à cultura devido à tendência em apresentar informações sobre a cultura do outro, por meio de comparações relativas a identidades nacionais e étnicas que veem a diferença cultural sob uma perspectiva objetivista. Ao questionarmos o pensamento que influenciou e continua a influenciar o papel do componente cultural no ensino e aprendizagem de línguas, buscamos também apontar caminhos para sua inserção na educação linguística na atualidade de modo a enfocar a (inter-)subjetividade dos aprendizes como participantes na diversidade e a emergência da cultura, vista de forma dinâmica, na interação com o outro.

RESUMONeste artigo, analisamos o chat educacional a partir da análise da construção composicional, dos conteúdos temáticos e da função em sessões de chat educacional dirigido ao ensino de espanhol como língua estrangeira para brasileiros. Verificamos a presença de cinco momentos, que constroem composicionalmente o gênero chat educacional. Houve a ocorrência de duas vertentes temáticas: a primeira, relacionada ao funcionamento, organização e realização de atividades do curso EPT e a segunda, ao conhecimento pessoal entre os participantes. No que tange à função, observamos que os participantes viam nele uma oportunidade de tirar as dúvidas com o professor ou com os colegas, conhecer melhor os participantes de curso ou praticar a língua estrangeira em contexto real de uso da linguagem.
CONCEPÇÕES DE LINGUAGEM DISCURSIVIZADAS POR LICENCIANDOS EM UM CURSO DE GRADUAÇÃO EM LETRAS NA EDUCAÇÃO A DISTÂNCIA
Authors: ROHLING Nívea , RODRIGUES Rosângela Hammes
Published: October 2015

RESUMOEste artigo apresenta uma análise de produções discursivas de licenciandos em Letras - Português de um curso de Graduação na modalidade EaD, de uma universidade pública federal do sul do Brasil, no que se refere às suas concepções de linguagem.A fundamentação teórico-metodológica baseia-se nos estudos do Círculo de Bakhtin. Os dados da pesquisa compõem-se de 106 fóruns de discussão; 59 enunciados de atividades avaliativas, postados no ambiente virtual de ensino e aprendizagem no período de 2007 a 2011; e dados gerados por meio de um questionário, respondido por 61 licenciandos nos seus respectivos polos de apoio de ensino presencial. No tocante às concepções de linguagem discursivizadas pelos sujeitos da pesquisa, os dados apontam para: a) a reenunciação de uma concepção de linguagem que concebe a língua como única/homogênea; b) a reenunciação da noção de variação linguística; e c) a ausência discursiva no que se refere à concepção de linguagem como interação. Esses resultados demonstram um descompasso entre a formação docente inicial e o que se espera em termos de formação de professores previsto pelos documentos oficiais de ensino, nos quais o trabalho com as práticas de escuta, leitura e produção textual estão assentadas em uma concepção interacionista da linguagem.

This study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effect of ω-conotoxin MVIIA (MVIIA) intralesional application in rats submitted to spinal cord injury. Male Wistar rats, weighing 300g±23.4, were distributed in five groups: negative control (SHAM), placebo (PLA), 5μM MVIIA, 10μM MVIIA and 20μM MVIIA MVIIA. After laminectomy of the 12th thoracic vertebra (SHAM), the PLA, 5μM MVIIA, 10μM MVIIA and 20μM MVIIA groups were subjected to acute compressive spinal cord trauma for five minutes, and then five minutes later, the animals received specific treatment in a standard total volume of 2µL, by intralesional route, using sterile PBS as placebo. Locomotor activity was assayed using Basso Beattie Bresnahan (BBB) scale to show the patterning of SCI. With 48 hours of injury, the animals were euthanized, the liquor sample was collected in atlantooccipital space, and also the spinal segment, including the epicenter and caudal region to injury. Assays were performed for mitochondrial viability, serum glutamate, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation (LP) were performed. The study design was randomized and the data submitted to ANOVA and comparison of means by SNK test, and data from BBB scale were evaluated using Kruskal-Wallis test (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between groups in BBB scores. The MVIIA did not promote decrease in the levels of glutamate, ROS, LP, and did not preserve the mitochondria in the intralesional application five minutes after spinal cord injury in rats.
Precompression stress and compression index depend on the property used to represent the soil deformation in the compression curve

Published: October 2015

ABSTRACT: During linear deformation (h) in a soil sample, the variation of the void ratio with respect to deformation (dε/dh) and the respective variation of soil bulk density (dρ/dh) are identical only for a specific value of h. Consequently, if two compression curves are drawn for the same soil sample, one using ρ and the other using ε, there are differences in both the calculated precompression stress (σp) and compression index (Ic). In this study, we highlight the causes by a mathematical analysis and an experimental investigation, quantifying the differences in σp and Ic when using ε and ρ. σp and Ic were calculated for 103 compression curves of an ultisol and 193 of an oxisol. The σp (kPa) using ρ (σpρ) was greater than when using ε (σpε), and differences were rather independent of the soil type. The relations found by linear regression relating σpρ to σpε were σpρ=0.8186σpε+34.202 for the ultisol and σpρ=0.8878σpε+34.875 for the oxisol. In contrast, the used soil property (ρ or ε) as well as soil type affected Ic. Ic calculated using ρ was greater than when using ε in almost all (96%) of the cases for the ultisol, and in only 12% of the cases for the oxisol. For a wide range of ρ, evidence from this study indicated that the use of ρ overestimates σp when compared to the use of ε.

Published: October 2015

ABSTRACT: Investigations demonstrate that the wind is the factor that causes the biggest negative influence on water application of sprinkler irrigation systems. Therefore, this paper aims to evaluate, in in-field conditions, the influence of wind on the water distribution uniformity of a mechanical lateral move sprinkler system used for irrigation in rice crop in the South of Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The equipment is located at the Campo Experimental de Terras Baixas (ETB) of EMBRAPA/CPACT and operates with water emitters model I-Wob installed in drop tubes in a distance of 2.8m above the soil surface, having a uniform space of 2.3m between each other and pressure regulators of 68.9kPa. Sixteen in-field evaluations were done and they permitted to infer that the higher is the wind speed, the lower are the values of Christiansen Uniformity (CU) and of Distribution Uniformity (DU) coefficients. Besides, it can be affirmed that even in unfavorable wind conditions, the mechanical lateral move irrigation equipment presented desirable indexes of water application uniformity.

ResumoEste artigo tem por objetivo apresentar os resultados de uma pesquisa realizada com o intuito de se investigar se os aprendizes de inglês como segunda língua (L2) reconhecem, implícita e/ou explicitamente, a existência do princípio funcional/cognitivo de distribuição da informação em um texto. A pesquisa também verificou o domínio, por esses aprendizes, de alguns dispositivos sintáticos relacionados às estruturas da informação e temática, que são usados para se atenderem a demandas comunicativas específicas. O referencial teórico baseia-se nos princípios da linguística funcional e conceitos ligados à cognição, em relação aos impactos da organização discursiva sobre escolhas linguísticas (Halliday, 1973; Chafe, 1995). O corpus desta pesquisa consistiu em uma série de exercícios que foram administrados aos alunos de graduação da habilitação em inglês. As descobertas lançam luz sobre o fato de que os alunos ainda não estão conscientes de vários processos que envolvem arranjos gramaticais e o fluxo do discurso, assim como eles não percebem bem como a gramática pode impactar a intenção comunicativa de um texto escrito.

Published: October 2015

Objective: to analyze the family relationship, in childhood and adolescence, of women who experience conjugal violence.Method: qualitative study. Interviews were held with 19 women, who were experiencing conjugal violence, and who were resident in a community in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (N. 42/2011).Results: the data was organized using the Discourse of the Collective Subject, identifying the summary central ideas: they witnessed violence between their parents; they suffered repercussions from the violence between their parents: they were angry about the mother's submission to her partner; and they reproduced the conjugal violence. The discourse showed that the women witnessed, in childhood and adolescence, violence between their parents, and were injured both physically and psychologically. As a result of the mother's submission, feelings of anger arose in the children. However, in the adult phase of their own lives, they noticed that their conjugal life resembled that of their parents, reproducing the violence.Conclusion: investment is necessary in strategies designed to break inter-generational violence, and the health professionals are important in this process, as it is a phenomenon with repercussions in health. Because they work in the Family Health Strategy, which focuses on the prevention of harm and illness, health promotion and interdepartmentality, the nurses are essential in the process of preventing and confronting this phenomenon.

Objective: describe the obstetric profile of adolescents at beginning of labor, at delivery, postpartum, and in puerperium.Method: Cross-sectional descriptive study with 85 pregnant adolescents, selected by convenience, referred by health centers to a public hospital in Mexico City. Risks were evaluated before, during and after delivery and in puerperium, and measured respectively with the "Previgenes" that compose the Reproductive and Perinatal Risk Assessment System.Results: socioeconomic status, occupation and education level had influence on the emotionality of adolescents in relation to labor, whose obstetric risk was low for 55%, medium for 35%, and high for 10%. Risk in labor was low for 55%, medium for 18%, and high for 27%. Risk postpartum was low for 50%, medium for 25%, and high for 25%. In puerperium, most adolescents (90%) had low risk.Conclusion: most adolescents had low risk in the stages evaluated. The study contributed to identify strategies to approach risk considering the vulnerability inherent in this type of population and favored the conduct of appropriate interventions for the respective needs.

Authors: Gomes Gabriela Lisieux Lima , Nóbrega Maria Miriam Lima da
Published: October 2015

Objective: to describe the process of developing a nursing diagnosis regarding child anxiety following hospitalization, which is to be submitted to the international classification for nursing practice, in accordance with the guidelines set out by the International Council of Nurses and the ISO standard 18104:2014.Method: this methodological study includes a conceptual analysis that bases itself on analyzing the phenomena of anxiety and hospitalization, while identifying the critical attributes of the concept and developing an operational definition.Results: all the criteria for including a new nursing concept were followed and there was no violation of the framework of the International Classification for Nursing Practice with the proposed inclusion, since the concept of anxiety already exists in this classification system and the concept of anxiety from hospitalization would be considered a species or subclass of this concept.Conclusion: this analysis of the concept of hospitalization anxiety in children allowed its meaning to be clarified and, consequently, understanding to be constructed regarding its practical applicability. This achievement contributed in terms of providing incentive to develop new proposals for nursing diagnoses to be included in the International Classification for Nursing Practice.

Objective: to analyze the distribution of nursing professionals' workloads, according to the Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC), during the transoperative period at a surgical center specializing in oncology.Methods: this was an observational and descriptive cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 11 nurses, 25 nursing technicians who performed a variety of roles within the operating room, 16 nursing technicians who worked with the surgical instrumentation and two nursing technicians from patient reception who worked in the surgical center during the transoperative period. An instrument was developed to collect data and the interventions were validated according to NIC taxonomy.Results: a total of 266 activities were identified and mapped into 49 nursing interventions, seven domains and 20 classes of the NIC. The most representative domains were Physiological-Complex (61.68%) and Health System (22.12%), while the most frequent interventions were Surgical Care (30.62%) and Documentation (11.47%), respectively. The productivity of the nursing team reached 95.34%.Conclusions: use of the Nursing Intervention Classification contributes towards the discussion regarding adequate, professional nursing staffing levels, because it shows the distribution of the work load.

Objective: to characterize the differences in the clinical and epidemiological profile of cases of death that had tuberculosis as an immediate or associated cause, and to analyze the spatial distribution of the cases of death from tuberculosis within the territories of Ribeirão Preto, Brazil.Method: an ecological study, in which the population consisted of 114 cases of death from tuberculosis. Bivariate analysis was carried out, as well as point density analysis, defined with the Kernel estimate.Results: of the cases of death from tuberculosis, 50 were the immediate cause and 64 an associated cause. Age (p=.008) and sector responsible for the death certificate (p=.003) were the variables that presented statistically significant associations with the cause of death. The spatial distribution, in both events, did not occur randomly, forming clusters in areas of the municipality.Conclusion: the difference in the profiles of the cases of death from tuberculosis, as a basic cause and as an associated cause, was governed by the age and the sector responsible for the completion of the death certificate. The non-randomness of the spatial distribution of the cases suggests areas that are vulnerable to these events. Knowing these areas can contribute to the choice of disease control strategies.

Objective: evaluate the general and perceived self-efficacy, psychological morbidity, and knowledge about postoperative care of patients submitted to radical prostatectomy. Identify the relationships between the variables and know the predictors of self-efficacy.Method: descriptive, cross-sectional study, conducted with 76 hospitalized men. The scales used were the General and Perceived Self-efficacy Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, in addition to sociodemographic, clinical and knowledge questionnaires.Results: a negative relationship was found for self-efficacy in relation to anxiety and depression. Psychological morbidity was a significant predictor variable for self-efficacy. An active professional situation and the waiting time for surgery also proved to be relevant variables for anxiety and knowledge, respectively.Conclusion: participants had a good level of general and perceived self-efficacy and small percentage of depression. With these findings, it is possible to produce the profile of patients about their psychological needs after radical prostatectomy and, thus, allow the nursing professionals to act holistically, considering not only the need for care of physical nature, but also of psychosocial nature.

Published: October 2015

Objective: to analyze the possibilities of help/support through the mapping and acknowledgement of the social network of women who denounce experiences of violence at a Police Precinct for Women.Method: qualitative study based on the theoretical-methodological framework of Lia Sanicola's Social Network, through interviews with 19 women.Results: the analysis of the network maps evidenced that the primary social network was more present than the secondary on and, despite consisting of significant relations, it demonstrates limitations. The women access the secondary network occasionally in the violence problem and/or its repercussions in their life and health. The discrete presence of the health network in the composition of the social network was revealed and, when mentioned, the relation between the health professional and the woman was characterized as fragile.Conclusion: the importance of the social network relates to the creation of spaces of help/support for the women beyond the moment of the aggression, which accompany them throughout their process of emancipation from an experience annulled by violence, considering that each woman acts and makes decisions in the relational context when she is ready for it.
