Medição e gestão de desempenho em empresas construtoras
Authors: Cândido Luis Felipe , Lima Sergio Henrique de Oliveira , Barros Neto Jose de Paula
Published: December 2019

Resumo A literatura sobre medição e gestão de desempenho mostra o estágio ainda embrionário desses processos na indústria da construção. Assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar os processos de medição e gestão de desempenho no setor de construção. Por meio de três estudos de caso em empresas construtoras evidencia-se que os sistemas de medição de desempenho (SMD) em uso nas empresas estão focados apenas em aspectos operacionais da medição de desempenho, não sendo, portanto, capazes de promover uma gestão que integre finalidades mais estratégicas, como influenciar o comportamento dos atores e proporcionar aprendizado e melhoria, elementos fundamentais para o alcance dos objetivos organizacionais. Assim, o estudo contribui com a literatura de gestão da construção ao aprofundar e ampliar as discussões sobre os conceitos de medir e gerar o desempenho, trazendo as novas formas de examinar o tema com base em diversos conceitos que ascendem principalmente das ciências administrativas e econômicas. Contribui também ao expandir a evidência empírica que reforça a evolução lenta dos SMD no setor de construção.

Authors: Molina Julio Cesar , Calil Neto Carlito , Fé Anderson Diego da , Freitas Ulysses Martins , Morais Pablo Henrique de , Matos Gabriela da Silva
Published: December 2019

Resumo As gridshells são estruturas leves, que permitem a obtenção de grandes vãos livres, além de uma ampla variedade de formas arquitetônicas. No entanto, no Brasil, não existem registros da construção desse tipo de estrutura (em caráter permanente) nem muitas informações bibliográficas sobre o seu comportamento estrutural. Neste manuscrito, são apresentados os principais aspectos teóricos, como também os detalhes de projeto e de construção de uma gridshell, construída em madeira, em escala real. Os custos de construção também foram relacionados neste caso. Na confecção da estrutura utilizou-se uma configuração de malha quadrangular plana, formada por ripas duplas de madeira de Lyptus (Classe D40), unidas ortogonalmente entre si por parafusos com diâmetro de 6,35 mm. A malha plana (com dimensões totais de 9 m x 9 m) foi deformada até a obtenção da forma curva desejada e, posteriormente, travada por contraventamentos diagonais. A bagagem de conhecimento adquirida como resultado dessa aplicação prática levou a um aperfeiçoamento significativo da ideia de projeto inicial, relacionada ao controle da forma da estrutura durante as fases de montagem e à otimização das estratégias executivas. As recomendações de construção aqui apresentadas enriquecerão a literatura nacional sobre o assunto tendo-se em vista a carência de textos dessa natureza.
Analytical study of the curve of static bending test for wood specimens

Published: December 2019

Abstract The NBR 7190:1997 "Design of Timber Structures" provides the procedure for several mechanical tests, and among them, the Static bending test for Modulus of Elasticity (Em) and Conventional Value of Strength (fm) determinations. It is common to characterize wood batches with a small number of specimens, what makes it difficult to perform an estimative test for rupture determination, and afterwards, to carry out the loading cycle for Em estimation. In these cases, instead of Force parameters, Deflection parameters are used for the loading cycle. This paper aims to identify a pattern between Force and Deflection parameters by investigating the Force vs. Deflection curve of the static bending test of wood specimens. According to results, there is a well pronounced pattern between Force and Deflection parameters in the linear part of the Force vs. Deflection curve, and based on this, we proposed a linear regression model between logarithm values of the force percentage (in relation to the rupture) and the denominator of the span value (as a Deflection parameter), resulting R2 equal to 97.41%. This result makes the conduction of the static bending test easier in specialized laboratories for testing of wood.
Proteins and medium-flow conditions: how they influence the degradation of magnesium
Authors: Hou Ruiqing , Feyerabend Frank , Willumeit-Römer Regine
Published: December 2019

To understand the magnesium (Mg) degradation mechanism in vivo, a variety of in vitro investigations have been conducted. However, there is still a gap between in vitro results and in vivo observations. Herein, the combined effect of proteins and medium-flow conditions on magnesium degradation was studied. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) and fetal bovine serum (FBS) were employed as the commonly used protein components for in vitro tests. Static, medium-changing (semi-static) and continuous-medium-flow (dynamic) conditions were used as different conditions. The results showed the highest inhibition efficiency of BSA and FBS on magnesium degradation under static conditions, while the efficiency largely decreased under semi-static or dynamic conditions, particularly for BSA. The possible explanations are related to the composition of degradation products and the integrity of the degradation layer. These results emphasize the importance of considering effects from different factors during magnesium degradation.
ARİSTOTELES, DEVLET, KÖLELER VE VATANDAŞLIK
Authors: KIRAN Abdullah
Published: December 2019

Aristoteles köleliğin doğadan
ve doğuştan olduğunu, siyasi statü veya toplumsal eşitsizlik neticesinde
sonradan ortaya çıkmadığını savunur. Köleliği doğadan kölelik ve yasal kölelik
şeklinde iki farklı kategoride ele alan Aristoteles’e göre doğadan köle olanların
sonradan özgürleşmesi veya azat edilmesi mümkün değildir. Doğadan köle, doğası
gereği, diğer bir deyimle yaradılışı itibariyle köledir.  Kişinin azat edilmesi, özgürlüğünü kazanması
veya statüsünün sonradan değişmesi, kölelik niteliğini ortadan kaldıramaz. Zira
köle olan, her zaman, her yerde
ve her durumda köledir,  ancak kimileri
hiçbir durumda ve hiçbir yerde köle olamazlar. 
Aristoteles’e göre kimi insanların yönetmesi,  buna karşılık kimi insanların da yönetilmesi
doğuştan ve doğadandır.  Doğa insanları
entelektüel kapasite ve fiziksel güç açısından farklı yaratmıştır. İnsanlar
entelektüel kapasite ve fiziksel güç olarak farklı olduklarından, bazıları doğa
tarafından efendi, bazıları ise köle olarak tasarlanmıştır. Yüksek bir
entelektüel kapasite bağışlanmış olanlar emir vermek içindir; daha az akıl ve
sağduyuya sahip olup vücut açısından güçlü olanlar ise sadece emirleri yerine
getirmek için uygundur. Aristoteles’e göre devlet
faydacı (utilitarian) bir zeminde kurulduğu için kölelik hak ve doğaldır. Bir
devlet yapılanmasında köleler hizmet edip üretime katılarak katkı sağlarken,
özgür vatandaşlar yönetim işlerine katılıp kamu yararına çalışırlar.
Aristoteles’e göre devletin vatandaşı olabilmenin en önemli şartı kamu yararına
olan bir işte çalışıp yönetime katılmaktır. Vatandaşlığı oldukça ayrıcalıklı
bir statü olarak değerlendiren Aristoteles köleler, işçiler, çiftçileri,
kadınlar ve zanaatkârları vatandaş olarak kabul etmez.
Factors contributing effective communication
Authors: Sirotinina Olga Borisovna
Published: December 2019

The article reveals the results of the long-term observation of spoken and written discourse in different communication spheres, its efficiency (pursuing a goal of the addressor’s intention) and inefficiency in connection with various factors and the interaction between them in real usage. Following T.M. Nikolaeva’s idea, the author draws attention to the role of the “escort” of the sentence (including not only the context, functional style and its varieties, but the conditions of the communication, types and subtypes of addressors and addressees, their personal qualities, state of health, degree of tiredness as well). The article focuses on the difference between the main communication goals in different spheres of communication: every-day interaction, which is the primary and the most important sphere in people’s life; academic, media, business spheres and belles letters. The author analyses different types and subtypes of addressors and addressees, the reasons for frequently ineffective official documents (acts, contracts, executive orders), touches upon the problems of the Internet communication’s impact on the life of people and on the language as a means of communication. To some extent this article is a programme of the research of effective communication in different spheres, the preview of the coming joint monograph of the Department of the Russian language, communication and Russian as a foreign language of the Saratov National Research University named after N.G. Chernyshevsky.

Authors: Bernatskaya Ada Alexandrovna
Published: December 2019

Translated into dozens of foreign languages, the works by L.E. Ulitskaya are very popular and have become the object of literary studies. This article aims at the linguo-ideological research of the writer’s works. As the source of the material, three collections were selected including fiction and non-fiction works of the writer. The direct object of the study is represented by the concepts of social significance in their textual axiological modality. Their combination shows the writer's vision of life in Soviet and contemporary Russia. The research methodology includes conceptual analysis with the technology of discursive-interpretational analysis, the traditional analytical-descriptive method, the method of metaphorical modeling, the elements of component and content analysis, field methods. The analysis revealed a totally negative assessment vector related to the Soviet, contemporary, and also future existence of the country and the state. The types of negativity are reflected by the category of subjective modality. The results of the study give the right to assert the presence in the writer’s works the signs / symptoms of information-psychological war, which means the need for careful selection of her texts when recommending them for inclusion into the educational programme.
Linguistic situation in the UK as a reflection of national identity
Authors: Ignatova Ekaterina Sergeevna
Published: December 2019

The article is devoted to the national identity problem in the United Kingdom. The problem is considered in terms of the linguistic situation in the country, in particular, by analyzing the relations between the English language and the languages of national minorities in
different historical periods. The author compares the Great Britain’s language politics of the 19th century with that of the 20th - 21st centuries. Their goals were found to be completely opposite to each other. That’s why the author puts forward and attempts to justify the assumption that the reason for the linguistic situation changes in the country is the change of the national identity idea. The author argues that the growing role of supra-state structures is pushing European states toward globalization. It leads to a blurring of the national identity boundaries and to the unification of the entire European population. It is said in detail that, being unwilling to lose their national uniqueness and to intermingle with other European nations, the British turn to the culture and languages of regional people in order to broaden the concept of national identity. As a result, the English formula is replaced by the British one, in other words, by a conjunction of all national values, whose carriers reside in the United Kingdom.

EFFECT OF CUTTING HEIGHTS ON THE TURF AND PLAYING QUALITY TRAITS OF SOME TURF ALTERNATIVES IN A MEDITERRANEAN ENVIRONMENT
Authors: SALMAN Ali , KIR Behcet , AVCIOGLU Riza
Published: December 2019

Among cool-season turf grasses tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) exhibits the best
adaptation to the Mediterranean Ecologies. Many turf type cultivars of this
drought and heat resistant turf grass have been recently released and therefore
management practices consequently should be adapted. The purpose of the study
was to detect the agronomic and sports field characteristics of some turf type
tall fescue and traditional cool season sports turf mixture mowed at different
heights in a Mediterranean environment and to determine the most favorable turf
grass alternative and mowing regime. The trial was carried out in the
experimental fields of Bayindir Vocational School, Izmir (Turkey), using three different turf
alternatives (Tall Fescue 100%, Tall Fescue 60% + Perennial Rye Grass 40% mixture
and Traditional Cool Season Sports Turf Mixture: Perennial Rye Grass 50%,
Creeping Red Fescue 20%, Chewing's Red Fescue 10%, Sheep Fescue 10%, Kentucky Blue
Grass 10%) under 12, 22 and 32 mm mowing height regime. Visual turf quality, texture and
weed invasion traits were determined and shock absorption and vertical
deformation were also measured as playing quality parameters for a sports turf. Turf alternatives of tall fescue except traditional
cool season sports turf mixture showed an adaptation to low mowing height which
increased shoot density and promoted a finer leaf texture. Shock absorption and
vertical deformation traits were significantly affected by mowing heights,
highest value being recorded for the lowest mowing heights. Nevertheless, a
good sports field quality was determined for the tall fescue and tall fescue +
perennial ryegrass plots. The results of the present work showed that tall
fescue, if maintained at low mowing height regime, could provide a dense and
fine textured turf suitable for sport fields with a high visual turf quality.
UKRAINIAN EMIGRE TRANSLATORS’ ACTIVITY IN WEST GERMANY AFTER WORLD WAR II
Authors: Ivanytska Maria
Published: December 2019

The article provides an insight into the work of cultural activists in Germany in the post-war decades. It delineates the following groups of translators and popularizers of Ukrainian literature in West Germany: 1) German speakers: Halychyna descendant Hans Koch and Elisabeth Kottmeier, the wife of the Ukrainian poet Igor Kosteckyj; 2) the Ukrainian scholars who began their activity before the war: Dmytro (Dimitrij) Tschižeswskij, Iwan Mirtschuk; 3) representatives of the younger wave of emigration – Jurij Bojko-Blochyn, Olexa and Anna-Halja Horbatsch, Igor Kostetskyj, Mychahlo Orest, Jurij Kossatsch and others.

The author reflects on the question whether or not the post-war Ukrainian emigration was integrated into a wider context of German culture. This is analyzed from the vantage point of the Western European reader’s/ literary critic’s readiness for the reception of Ukrainian literature. Among the first promoters of Ukrainian literature was the Artistic Ukrainian Movement (Munich), whose member of the board, Jurij Kossatsch, published the first review of the then contemporary Ukrainian literature in the German language “Ukrainische Literatur der Gegenwart” (1947).

The author analyzes the first collection of translations of Ukrainian poetry “Gelb und Blau: Moderne ukrainische Dichtung in Auswahl” (“Yellow and Blue: Selected Contemporary Ukrainian Poetry”) compiled by Wolodimir Derzhawin, who condemned the persecution and extermination of poets in the USSR, criticized proletarian literature and the choice of authors. The preface by Derzhavin testified to the conviction of Ukrainian emigrants that free Ukrainian literature could flourish only in the exile. The work of the translators’ tandem of Igor Kosteckyj and Elisabeth Kottmeier is further described.

The chronological and quantitative comparison of scholarly publications on Ukrainian literature in the then West Germany revealed that one of the major accomplishments of the Ukrainian diaspora was the transition from the complete lack to a gradual increase of interest in the aforementioned subject.

The article emphasizes the significance of the translating activity of Anna-Halja Horbatsch aimed at introducing Ukrainian literature to the German Slavic Studies scholars along with ordinary readers. This was made possible when large collections of translations “Blauer November. Ukrainische Erzähler unseres Jahrhunderts” (Blue November: Ukrainian writers of this century) and “Ein Brunnen für Durstige “ (“The Well for the Thirsty”) were out, and in the 90’s – when the publishing house specializing in translations from Ukrainian literature was founded. The Soviets’ negative reaction to those and previous publications is perceived as a manifestation of the political engagement of socialist literary criticism.

Conclusion: Anna-Halja Horbatsch’ contribution to the systematic acquaintance of the West German reader with modern Ukrainian literature is by far the most significant due to her numerous translations, scholarly articles, and critical reviews.

The Relationship Between Meditation Experience and Intrusive Thoughts
Authors: Butler Michael
Published: December 2019

Meditation has long been suggested as a means for improving mental health. This study examines whether meditation may be helpful to persons with intrusive thoughts. Fifty-three meditators from five sites of meditation reported their experience with meditation (how long they had been meditating and how much meditation they were currently doing per week), as well as their current experience of cognitive intrusions and related distress. Number of weeks experience with meditation was found to be negatively correlated with both severity of intrusive thoughts and negative evaluation of intrusive thoughts. Intensity of current meditation practice (minutes per week) was not found to be correlated with severity or evaluation of intrusive thoughts. It is concluded that experience with meditation provides psychological benefits consistent with the aims of both meditation traditions and many contemporary cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches. Meditation is theoretically and pragmatically compatible with contemporary cognitive-behavioral approaches and may be a useful supplement for treating clinical and nonclinical intrusive thoughts.

Authors: Bonura Kimberlee Bethany , Pargman David
Published: December 2019

The present study investigates the effect of chair Yoga versus walking and chair aerobics on psychological health in older adult men and women. Participants (M age = 83; N = 42) were randomly assigned to one of four activity groups: chair Yoga, chair aerobics, walking, and social games (non-activity control group). Classes met for 30 minutes, 3 days per week, for 6 weeks. ANCOVAs revealed significant time by group interaction for stress frequency; the Yoga group showed the most stress reduction over time. Time by group interactions for the other variables (stress severity, depression, and anxiety) were nonsignificant, although Yoga participants experienced the most benefits over the course of the intervention. Replication with a larger sample size is warranted in order to better understand the impact of Yoga on psychological health in older adults.

Central precocious puberty (CPP) occupies an important place in the practice of pediatric endocrinologist. In the treatment of all forms of CPP, there are used drugs of GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) agonists group, whose pharmacological effect of is based on desensitization of the pituitary gland to the stimulating effect of GnRH. Therapy with agonist of gonadotropin-releasing hormone allows to stop the progression of sexual development, reduce the rate of bone maturation and, thereby, increase the final growth of the child. The article demonstrates the structure of the dispensary group of patients with CPP who were treated with the agonists GnRH of prolonged action. There has been conducted the analysis of the observation results of patients with idiopathic CPP who received 3.75 mg Triptorelin therapy in the standard regimen once every 28 days and transferred to Tryptorelin 11.25 mg once every 3 months, as well as patients with different forms of CPP with a newly established diagnosis. The presented results of treatment with 11.25 mg Triptorelin drugs by intramuscular injection in a regimen of 1 time in 3 months in comparison with the results of treatment with 3.75 mg of Triptorelin patients in the regimen of intramuscular injections once every 28 days in patients with CPP showed their effectiveness. Preparations of the agonists GnRH group of prolonged action inhibit the development of secondary sexual characteristics, lead to a decrease in the size of the internal genitalia in female and external genitalia in male and reduce the progression of bone age. It was also noted that reducing the frequency of injections of drugs of this group from 1 time in 28 days to 1 time in 3 months positively affects the emotional state of children receiving this treatment for a long period (3-6 years).

The article presents current data on the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of acute pancreatitis in children. Over the past 10-15 years, the incidence of pancreatitis has increased and is 3.6-13.3 cases per 100,000 children. According to the results of an international study INSPPIRE a group of researchers involving in to the study of pediatric pancreatitis gave a definition of acute, acute recurrent and chronic pancreatitis and developed clinical guidelines for the management of this pathology in children. Acute pancreatitis is a polyetiological disease, the causes of which may be abnormalities in the development of the pancreatobiliary system, drugs, injuries, infections, systemic diseases. Diagnosis is based on clinical manifestations and laboratory and instrumental data. Clinically acute pancreatitis is manifested by abdominal, dyspeptic and asthenic syndromes. Particular attention is paid to the timely diagnosis of pancreatitis in children with unexplained abdominal pain syndrome. In such cases, it is mandatory to determine the level of amylase and lipase. Transabdominal ultrasound is the screening method among instrumental methods. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are necessary imaging techniques for suspected pancreatic necrosis. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, in turn, plays an important role in the diagnosis of anomalies and lesions of the biliary and pancreatic ducts. There are modern classification, diagnostic criteria of acute pancreatitis, laboratory and instrumental methods of the diagnosis and approaches to the treatment in children in the article.

Currently, in medical practice, there is a high interest in diseases caused by herpes viruses, among them the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) occupies the leading place. Almost 90% of the worlds population over the age of 40 are infected with VEB. In patients of the first two years, the proportion of asymptomatic carriage reaches 90%, and at the age of 2-10 30-50%. The article considers current data on the impact of EBV on cellular and humoral immunity, its connection with autoimmune and lymphoproliferative diseases. EBV has been shown to play a significant role in the onset of oncological diseases such as Hodgkins lymphoma, Burkitts lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinomas, as well as autoimmune diseases systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogrenʼs syndrome, autoimmune hepatitis, lymphoid interstitial hepatitis, lymphoid interstitial syndrome. The results of studies over the past 5 years of cases of activation of autoimmune processes associated with EBV infection, as well as predisposing factors underlying these manifestations, are presented. Due to the fact that the autoimmune effect of EBV infection is manifested in various organs and tissues, this problem is multidisciplinary, affecting such fields of medicine as pediatrics, infectious diseases, endocrinology, oncology, gynecology, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, etc.

Na materiale artykułów naukowych i polemicznych oraz utworów poetyckich (oryginalnych i przekładów) neoklasyków omówiono ich koncepcję literatury oraz treść, istotę i swoistość ich postawy proeuropejskiej. Ustalono, że podstawę teoretyczną poglądów konceptualnych omawianych literaturoznawców stanowią pojęcia: europeizm, europeizacja oraz Europa jako kategoria kulturowa i aksjologiczna. Kryterium estetyczne wzorca helleńskiego, którym neoklasycy kierują się przy ocenie zjawisk artystycznych i społeczno-politycznych, implikuje ich uniwersalistyczną postawę między wspomnianym Wschodem i Zachodem. Koncepcja neoklasyków preferuje tradycjonalizm, synkretyzm kulturowy, maksymalizm etycznego oraz estetyzm. W koncepcji tej wyeksponowana jest konstatacja o wartości każdej kultury narodowej i o konstruktywnej roli zasady różnorodności w jedności. Koncepcja neoklasyków opowiada się za wykorzystaniem duchowych i intelektualnych zdobyczy obu części Europy pod warunkiem prymatu wspomnianego kryterium estetycznego. Postawę neoklasyków w warunkach pogranicza (Ukrainy) można traktować jako próbę łączenia Wschodu i Zachodu na podstawie uniwersalnej aksjologii tradycji europejskiej i przełamywania opozycji pomiędzy nimi.

Published: December 2019

Tematem niniejszego opracowania jest charakterystyka historycznego nazewnictwa osobowego podlaskiego rodu Kiersnowskich. Na jego potrzeby poddano analizie antroponimicznej nazwisko Kiersnowski, imiona, przezwiska, przydomki oraz formacje patronimiczne uzywane przez członków tej rodziny. Zakres chronologiczny rozważań obejmuje okres od początku XVI do końca XVII wieku, czyli dwa stulecia. Wybór ten jest podyktowany stosunkowo dobrze zachowaną bazą materiałową z tego czasu. Ponadto, miały wtedy miejsce procesy, które spowodowały istotne zmiany w lokalnym mikrosystemie antroponimicznym.

"Get Your Child in Order:" Illustrations of Courtesy Stigma from Fathers Raising Both Autistic and Non-autistic Children
Authors: Alareeki Asalah , Lashewicz Bonnie , Shipton Leah
Published: December 2019

Parents of autistic children report relatively high levels of parenting stress that includes experiencing stigma. Yet, research about stigma experienced by parents of autistic children is limited, and in particular, fathers' experiences are rarely documented. The purpose of this study is to illuminate courtesy stigma experiences of fathers of autistic children. We conducted a secondary analysis of narrative data from a subset of 16 fathers raising both autistic and non-autistic children. Fathers participated in in-depth interviews about successes and struggles in raising autistic children. Fathers experienced "felt stigma" in forms of censorship, isolation, guilt and defying stigma. Fathers navigate ableist stereotypes, which are interwoven with stereotypes of traditional masculinity. Fathers defy stigma but are also part of processes that perpetuate stigma. Further, understandings of the complexities of courtesy stigma are needed, particularly through studies that target fathers from diverse cultural, racial, family structural and socio-economic backgrounds.
Making Obesity Fat: Crip Estrangement in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1
Authors: Best Royce
Published: December 2019

This article argues that the "play extempore" in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1 is a privileged site for "crip estrangement," a phenomenon that occurs in Shakespearean drama when a normate character encountering disability is featured within a metatheatrical structure. While this scene is supposed to allow Prince Henry an opportunity to "practise an answer" before he meets his father King Henry IV, in actuality, the question of how to interpret Falstaff's fat body takes center stage. Since this encounter with fat, which already induces self-reflection, is placed within a second self-reflecting metatheatrical structure, the scene constitutes a protracted rendering of the protocols of rhetorical representation: it estranges Falstaff's substance that readers and theatregoers usually understand as "the old fat knight" into its rhetorical parts. The scene demonstrates that Falstaff's actual fat body is the wax (matter) that Hal's speeches (form) attempt to impress into a substance, the old, obese character we recognize as Falstaff. Since Renaissance rhetoric was intimately linked to acting, the article argues that the scene's estrangement could also occur in performances of the play. More than merely a queer expression of fat from Falstaff, the play extempore deconstructs the representation of obesity: it "make[s] a stone stony" (Shklovsky); it makes obesity fat.

A corrida é composta por quatro fases: reação, aceleração, velocidade máxima e desaceleração. O estudo da biomecânica nos atletas compreende, atualmente, a análise do padrão do movimento, sendo considerada uma técnica de relevância por captar os movimentos do atleta ao longo de todas as fases da corrida pela análise cinemática. Este estudo visou avaliar a eficácia da aplicação de dois protocolos de treinamento de trator para correção do padrão de movimento em corredores, utilizando a análise biomecânica. A amostra foi constituída por 21 corredores profissionais divididos em três grupos: G1- Controle - voluntários não submetidos a treinamento específico; G2- Habilidades Motoras - voluntários submetidos a exercícios de habilidades motoras e G3- composto por voluntários submetidos a exercícios de força. Os componentes dos grupos G2 e G3 foram submetidos a duas modalidades distintas de treino de atrator (3 vezes/semana, 4 semanas), para a análise biomecânica foi utilizado o software Tracker. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que voluntários descalços apresentaram redução do ângulo de dorsiflexão, com consequente maior rapidez na força de reação do solo em contato com o pé. Os voluntários de ambos os grupos submetidos a distintos protocolos de treinamento mostraram resultados positivos. No entanto, G3 apresentou melhora em todos os parâmetros analisados, após curto período de treino, além de aumento da força máxima suportada pelo voluntário. A análise biomecânica permitiu observar ainda que um calçado adequado altera a biomecânica da corrida, resultando em resposta mais rápida e eficaz, bem como correção do padrão de movimento. Concluiu-se por meio da avaliação comparativa entre dois protocolos de treino de atrator, exercícios de força ou habilidades motoras, que ambos constituem recurso eficaz por atuar diretamente na correção do padrão de movimento adotado pelos corredores.

Produtos naturais, como extratos glicólicos de plantas, são importantes para a aplicação clínica na área da saúde, como em enxaguatórios bucais, cremes dentais e irrigação intracanal. Assim é necessário realizar estudos de citotoxicidade desses extratos glicólicos. O presente estudo buscou avaliar a atividade citotóxica dos extratos glicólicos de Cynara scolymus L. (alcachofra), Myracrodruom urundeuva Allem. (aroeira-do-sertão-do-sertão) e Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze (chá verde) em macrófagos de camundongo (RAW 264.7) pelo teste de atividade metabólica MTT. Para tanto, as células foram distribuídas em microplacas de 96 poços e foram expostas a 11 diluições seriadas de cada extrato (200 mg/mL,100 mg/mL, 50 mg/mL, 25 mg/mL, 12,5 mg/mL, 6,25 mg/mL, 3,13 mg/mL, 1,56 mg/mL, 0,78 mg/mL, 0,39 mg/mL e 0,20 mg/mL), sendo n=8 para cada diluição. Após o tempo de contato de 5 minutos e 24 horas, foi avaliada a viabilidade celular utilizando o teste MTT. Diante destes resultados, no tempo de exposição de 5 minutos com os extratos, em ordem crescente de redução da viabilidade celular, seguiram-se o chá verde, com aumento da viabilidade celular, a aroeira-do-sertão e o extrato de alcachofra. Por meio do MTT dos três extratos por tempo de exposição de 24 horas, observou-se que o extrato de alcachofra apresentou maior toxicidade, seguido do extrato de chá verde e aroeira-do-sertão. A análise estatística foi realizada por ANOVA e teste de Tukey, com significância de 5%. Conclusões: Entre os extratos, o chá verde com 12,5mg/mL, com interessantes 5 minutos e 24 horas, despertou atenção, pois foi a maior concentração e não apresentou citotoxicidade para os macrófagos, assim como a alcachofra que foi a mais citotóxica para os macrófagos, em ambos os tempos (5 min e 24 h).

Objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) em um município do sul do Brasil, sob a ótica dos usuários por meio do Primary Care Assessment Tool-Brasil (PCATool-Brasil). Trata-se de um estudo avaliativo junto a 379 usuários dos serviços de APS do município de Guarapuava/Paraná/Brasil, entrevistados utilizando o instrumento PCATool-Brasil. A análise dos dados se deu por meio de estatística descritiva. Os resultados mostram que o escore geral e essencial para avaliação da APS do município resultaram nos valores de 5.62 (DP±1.15) e 6.05(DP±1.14) respectivamente. Na avaliação de cada atributo, os escores mais baixos foram do componente derivado “orientação comunitária” (Média: 3.13; DP ±2.36), seguido pela “integralidade – serviços prestados” (Média: 3.70; DP±2.17) e “Acesso de Primeiro Contato – Acessibilidade” (Média: 4.01; DP±2.23). O atributo melhor avaliado foi o “Acesso de Primeiro Contato – Utilização”, com escore médio de 8.44 (DP±2.44). Conclui-se que houve baixa qualidade da APS sob a ótica dos usuários na realidade investigada, especialmente no que se refere aos atributos “orientação comunitária”, “integralidade – serviços prestados” e “Acesso de Primeiro Contato – Acessibilidade”. A avaliação da APS foi positiva somente nos itens “Grau de Afiliação com Serviço de Saúde’ e “Acesso de Primeiro Contato – Utilização”.

Os indivíduos amputados contam cada vez mais com uma diversidade de tecnologia assistiva para colaborar no processo de readaptação social. Deste modo, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a percepção de pessoas amputadas de membros inferiores quanto ao uso de tecnologia assistiva. Essa pesquisa é de caráter qualitativo, com uma amostra intencional de 10 participantes, sendo estas pessoas amputadas que utilizam tecnologia assistiva e que frequentam a Clínica de Fisioterapia e o Centro Especializado em Reabilitação II. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se uma entrevista semiestruturado e analisadas com a Análise do Conteúdo Temática. Os resultados apontaram as categorias independência, extensão do corpo, orientações sobre utilização das tecnologias assistivas, lesões corporais, dificuldades de adaptação ao cotidiano e ergonomia do equipamento. O uso das tecnologias assistiva apresentou resultados satisfatórios em relação a autonomia e a participação social. A falta de orientações e de acompanhamento multiprofissional e um design inapropriado podem ser o causador lesões corporais e levar ao abandono da TA. Portanto, é imprescindível um cuidado integral as pessoas amputadas.

Published: December 2019

In this paper, a new class of continuous distributions with two extra positive parameters is introduced and is called the Type II General Exponential (TIIGE) distribution. Some special models are presented. Asymptotics, explicit expressions for the ordinary and incomplete moments, moment residual life, reversed residual life, quantile and generating functions and stress-strengh reliability function are derived. Characterizations of this family are obtained based on truncated moments, hazard function, conditional expectation of certain functions of the random variable are obtained. The performance of the maximum likelihood estimators in terms of biases, mean squared errors and confidence interval length is examined by means of a simulation study. Two real data sets are used to illustrate the application of the proposed class.
