An Empirical Analysis of Predictor Influence Mechanisms of HRM Practices and Corporate Sustainability on Employee Engagement: A mediation Analysis
Authors: Simon Georgia Rosemarie , Zhou Erhua (Iris) , Sagoe Gideon
Published: April 2018

The unquestionable benefits of employee engagement and the ill-effects of disengagement (EE) have necessitated further investigation within the field of human resource management and the wider organizational studies domain. This study sought to measure the perception of employees at a Commercial Bank in Jamaica, on how various practices in the organization, such as human resource management practices (HRMPs), the ethical climate (OEC), and corporate sustainability (CS) affected their engagement. Based on the responses of 130 employees who responded to a self-administered questionnaire hosted online, it was shown quantitatively that employee tenure in an organization affects their engagement, as employees with less than one year, and more than ten years of service with the organization were more engaged. Also, the results indicated that both HRMPs and initiatives and strategies on CS had influence on employees’ behaviour and subsequently their engagement and the predictor effects were enhanced by the mediation effect of OEC. These findings are relevant to practice as well as provide elucidation on the specific mechanisms that influence the relationship between HRMPs and EE, as well as contributing to sparse literature on EE in a Caribbean context.
RN4Cast Study in Portugal: Nurses and care left undone
Authors: Braga Clara , Jesus Élvio , Araújo Beatriz
Published: April 2018

Background: Over the past decades, nursing in Portugal has evolved greatly both academically and professionally and this evolution brought along growing concerns about the quality of the healthcare provided. Due to lack of time or poor organization of the workload, nurses are often faced with the need to choose between what must be done and what will have to be postponed or even not be done at all.Objective: To investigate the care activities that are most frequently left undone or are postponed by nurses working in medical and surgical inpatient units in Portugal.Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study that follows the RN4CAST (Nurse Forecasting in Europe) methodology was carried out from October 2013 to April 2014. A total of 31 hospitals and a random sample of adult medical-surgical units were involved. The data were collected using a socio-demographic questionnaire and a nursing questionnaire that included the identification of the nursing activities of surveillance and direct patient care that were necessary but postponed or not performed by nurses in their most recent shift.Results: A total of 2,235 nurses participated. Almost all participants had a nursing bachelor degree (98.2%). The most frequently left undone or postponed care items were “Educating patients and family” (50.2%) and “Comfort/talk with patients” (50.1%); the least frequently left undone items were “Treatments and procedures” (3.9%) and “Pain management” (5.6%). Nurses in the North and Center regions of the country were the ones who reported less care left undone due to lack of time. Nurses under the age of 40 were those who reported a highest number of activities left undone.Conclusions: Nurses make selective choices about the care activities that are crucial for the patient. Some activities that may not have an immediate impact on the health of the patients are sidelined, although they may have an impact on other important healthcare quality indicators.
Effect of a physical assessment educational program on clinical practice

Published: April 2018

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of an educational program on physical assessment skills for registered nurses focusing on respiratory and cardiovascular systems.Methods: Design: Survey research using a self-administered questionnaire was used. Methods: The study was conducted in the physical assessment education program and the clinical settings. The study involved 104 registered nurses who completed a self-administered questionnaire, distributed immediately and 2 months after the physical assessment education program. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.Results: The usage frequencies of 19 physical assessment skills increased after the educational program. The most frequently cited barrier to using these skills changed from a lack of knowledge to a lack of confidence and insufficient time.  Before the program, the hospital nurses used their physical assessment skills more frequently than the home-visit nurses, but the reverse became true afterward. Nurses who recognized that they needed physical assessment skills that were learned through education showed a tendency to use these skills in nursing practice.Conclusions: These results suggest that the educational program on physical assessment skills affected the use of these skills in clinical practice for this study cohort for this study cohort.

The main prophylactic tool to control rabies in herbivores is the systematic vaccination of susceptible animals. This study aimed to evaluate the positive effect of organic zinc (Zn) supplementation on the persistence of anti-rabies neutralizing antibodies in healthy sheep. A total of 36 Texel ewes were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups of 18 animals each. The treated group (TG) received organic Zn supplementation for 90 days, and after this period, 2 doses of rabies vaccine with a 30-day interval. The control group (CG) received the vaccine doses only and was not supplemented with organic Zn. Blood samples were collected before the first vaccination and 30, 60, and 90 days after vaccination, to determine the anti-rabies neutralizing antibody titer using the Rapid Fluorescent Focus Inhibition Test (RFFIT). The average values of anti-rabies serum-neutralizing antibodies 30 days after the first dose were 1.33 ± 0.62 IU mL-1 for the CG and 1.57 ± 0.80 IU mL-1 for the TG; 60 days after the second dose the average values were 7.60 ± 7.08 IU mL-1 and 12.97 ± 9.46 IU mL-1 for the CG and TG, respectively, with a significant difference between groups. The TG presented 100% vaccine coverage of the primary vaccination, whereas the CG presented 89.47% coverage. Oral supplementation with 75 mg organic Zn significantly increased the persistence of anti-rabies antibody titers in sheep, and it improved the vaccine coverage of the primary vaccination.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in soil carbon (C) as well as its fractions of physical (particulate organic carbon associated with minerals), chemical (fulvic and humic acids and humins), and oxidizable (F1, F2, F3, and F4) forms of an Oxisol under no-tillage systems (SPD) under different successions and crop rotations in the Cerrado area. In order to do this, the areas of consolidated SPD (10 to 20 years) under the same soil and climatic conditions were selected in Montividiu (GO), with soybean-corn succession (SSM), soybean-millet succession (SSMt), soybean-millet-bean-cotton rotation (RSMFA), crop-livestock integration (ILP), and a native cerrado (CE) area used as a control treatment In each area, samples were collected at depths of 0.0-0.05, 0.05-0.10, 0.10-0.20, and 0.20-0.40 m, respectively. The no-tillage system with crop rotation, followed by no-tillage system with crop-livestock integration, were the ones that presented the greatest potential to increase total carbon content in soil, presenting higher C contents of the granulometric, humic, and oxidizable fractions of the soil organic matter (SOM), compared with the other areas of no-tillage systems with succession of the respective evaluated crops. The no-tillage areas with corn and soybean/millet succession systems showed a similar pattern in soil C accumulation, as well as in the compartments of SOM evaluated.

The response to blood loss is directly related to the degree of hemorrhage, but for the caprine species some aspects still need to be investigated. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the clinical and hemodynamic effects of acute blood loss in goats. Eight healthy, adult male crossbred goats were subjected to external jugular puncture to remove 30% of the total blood volume. A physical examination and blood gas, biochemical, and hematologic analyses were performed at baseline, before blood loss (T0), and after one (T1h), six (T6h), 12 (T12h), 24 (T24h) and 72 (T72h) hours, and eight (T8d), 16 (T16d), 24 (T24d) and 32 (T32d) days after the acute blood loss event. The goats presented with tachycardia, tachypnea, and hyperthermia one hour after blood loss with a return to normal physiological values at T6h. Packed cell volume was decreased at T1h and red cell counts at T12h, both returning to baseline at T24d. There was a reduction in total protein and albumin levels at T1h, both remained below baseline levels until T16d and T8d, respectively. The serum calcium concentration decreased over the period T1h to T24h and glucose increased over the period T1h to T6h. The values of pH, TCO2, bicarbonate, and base excess were lower at T1h, while lactate increased markedly at this time. The pCO2 value only was reduced at T24h. Systolic (PS), diastolic (PD), and mean (PM) pressures were decreased at T1h. Acute loss of 30% of blood volume in goats caused changes in clinical, blood gas, and biochemical parameters, which were restored over a six-hour period, while hematologic changes were more persistent, with baseline values restored only after 24 days.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Kisspeptin (Kp) on the medium used in different stages of in vitro production of bovine embryo (IVEP), evaluating cleavage (CR) and blastocyst (BR) rates. The study was divided into three experiments that analyzed, respectively, the action of Kp on in vitro maturation (IVM), in vitro fertilization (IVF), and in vitro culture (IVC) of bovine embryos. In experiment 1, the oocytes were matured in IVM medium and distributed into the following treatments: maturation (IVM Control, n = 102), maturation with addition of 10-7 M Kp (Kp 10-7 IVM, n = 90), and hormone-free maturation luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) with the addition of 10-7M Kp (No hormones + Kp 10-7, n = 84), following maturation to normal stages of IVEP. In experiment 2, the oocytes were fertilized in IVF medium, in the following treatments: TALP-FERT without Kp (Control IVF, n = 103) and TALP-FERT with the addition of 10-7M Kp (Kp 10-7 IVF, n = 119), usually following the other steps. Finally, in the third experiment, the oocytes passed through all phases and were divided into IVC in two treatments: SOF medium without Kp (Control IVC, n = 109) and SOF medium with the addition of 10-7M Kp (Kp 10-7, N = 106). The data were analyzed by PROC GLIMMIX of the SAS program. In experiment 1, the means of CR and BR were similar (P > 0.05) between treatments (IVM Control76.47% and 37.25%, Kp 10-7 MIV80% and 33.33%, and No hormones + Kp 10-770.24% and 30.95%, respectively). In experiment 2, the means of CR were similar for the IVF Control and Kp 10-7 IVF groups (P > 0.05), 76.70% and 86.55% respectively. But, the mean of the BR of the group Kp 10-7 IVF was 38.66%, which was higher (P < 0.05) than that of the FIV Control group, which was 31.07%. In the third experiment, the means of CR and BR (P > 0.05) were similar between the IVC Control and Kp 10-7 IVC groups (CR 83.50% and 78.30%, and BR 26.60% and 23.60%, respectively). Although at this concentration of 10-7M during IVC no change in embryo production is seen, Kp presents the same performance as both gonadotrophins in oocyte maturation and modulates the fertilization process, providing more blastocysts. With these findings, it can be seen that Kp presents a regulatory action on bovine reproduction, and can be an excellent tool to maximize IVEP indexes.

The composition of semen diluents can modify its viability during cooling. The buffering effects of HEPES and sodium bicarbonate were evaluated considering the pH and sperm viability. The semen of seven adult Brazilian ponies was evaluated before and after cooling at 5oC for 24 h and 48 h. A non-buffered skim milk powder extender (C) and the same extender buffered with sodium bicarbonate (SB) and HEPES (H) were used. After dilution, semen (three ejaculates/pony) was centrifuged and the seminal plasma discarded. Sperm was then diluted with SB, H or C and its concentration adjusted to 50 x 106 sptz/mL. Progressive motility evaluated after dilution showed similar results with all extenders (71.42% (SB), 74.28% (H), and 74.52% (C)). Sperm motility was evaluated 24 h and 48 h after cooling for SB (44.76% and 25.23%), H (51.42% and 38.09%) and C (54.05% and 41.66%, respectively). Plasma membrane integrity was similar after exposure to the three extenders (62.71% (SB), 68.76% (H), and 69.23% (C)). Mitochondrial activity was higher in SB immediately after dilution (SB= 1.05nm, H= 0.81nm, C= 0.79nm), and after 24 h (0.83nm (SB), 0.73nm (H) and 0.64nm (C)). After 48 h, the mitochondrial activity decreased to 0.72nm (SB), 0.69nm (H), and 0.63nm (C) (P > 0.05). The pH, osmolarity and pH after 48 h of cooling of the diluted semen were higher in SB (8; 382; 7.9), intermediate in H (7.5; 362; 7.32) and lower in C (7.16; 350; 7.07). Lipid peroxidation and its induction were similar in all groups. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Duncan’s test was used to evaluate the significant differences (P < 0.05). Sodium bicarbonate reduced the progressive motility and increased the semen pH. The extender C was considered more appropriate for immediate use in artificial insemination. The non-buffered and HEPES-buffered extenders were considered appropriate for the cooling of equine semen for 48 h at 5°C.

In this study, the objective was to evaluate the efficacy of protein supplementation on gastrointestinal nematode control in lambs naturally infected. Sixty weaned Ile de France and Texel crossbred lambs, with 60 days of age, were divided into three groups (n=20) according to the level of protein in the concentrate: low protein (LP; 8.5%), moderate protein (MP; 15%), and high protein (HP; 25%). The daily amount of concentrate offered was based on 3% of live weight, which was continued throughout the experiment of 98 days. Evaluations were conducted biweekly from days 0 (D0) to 98 (D98). There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in the average weight among the LP, MP and HP groups, which was 22.0, 21.4, and 21.1 kg, respectively, on D0 and 46.4, 48.3, and 48.2 kg, respectively, on D98. The daily weight gain was not significantly different among the groups (LP, 250 g; MP and HP, 276 g; p > 0.05). The average egg count per gram of feces (epg) of the LP group on D98 (6,765; an increase of 5,690 epg from D0) was higher than that of the MP and HP groups (1,617.5, p < 0.05 and 3,435, p > 0.05, respectively), which remained constant throughout the study. The hematocrit values decreased (p < 0.05) from D0 to D98 only in the LP group. Only in the HP group (p < 0.05), the mean serum total protein concentration increased from D0 (5.3 g dL-1) to D98 (5.8 g dL-1). The average albumin level on D98 (2.10 g dL-1) was lower than that on D0 (2.52 g dL-1) in the LP group (p < 0.05). During the study, 10 lambs overall were treated with anthelmintic because the epg values exceeded 10,000; six treated lambs were from the LP group, 3 from the HP group, and only 1 from the MP group. These results indicate that supplementation of diet with 15% protein increases the resistance and resilience of lambs to gastrointestinal parasites.
Effectiveness of Cratylia argentea as an animal feed supplement in the control of gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep

Published: April 2018

Gastrointestinal nematodes are considered one of the most important sanitary problems affecting ruminants globally; whether parasitizing alone or acting with other pathogens, they are responsible for severe economic losses related to animal husbandry. Endoparasites in small ruminants are usually controlled with anti-helminthic drugs. However, certain strains of endoparasites are resistant to such drugs. Supplementation of the diet with protein-rich foods is one strategy for reducing the negative impact of gastrointestinal parasites. Cratylia argentea has anthelmintic properties and other characteristics that favor its use as an animal feed supplement. In the present study, we subdivided crossbred lambs into homogeneous groups and fed them C. argentea (G1), C. argentea plus Brachiaria spp. (G2), or Brachiaria spp. (G3) only. The animals in group G1 had a lower average number of eggs per gram of feces (EPG) at Day 42 (p < 0.05), and the average count was ten times lower than that in the control at the last evaluated time-point (Day 56). The animals exhibited linear weight gain, and those in group G1 gained the most weight. The combined use of drugs and plants containing bioactive compounds can minimize the evolution of multidrug resistance, prolonging the efficacy of the drugs. The FAMACHA® score showed little variation during the experiment (p > 0.05), indicating the absence of anemia and normal globular volume. This reinforces the importance of the measurement of EPG; this is a quantitative method and does not depend on the subjective interpretation of the results.

Currently, two defects in poultry breasts termed Wooden Breast (WB) and White Striping (WS) have been reported in slaughterhouses. These defects may be associated with the accelerated growth of the birds, management, density in the aviary, and both weight and age at slaughter. Although the health of the affected birds is not impaired, these myopathies cause carcass condemnation and economic losses to slaughterhouses, since the breasts of these chickens, considered to be prime cuts in the poultry industry, have to be discarded. This paper reports on the economic losses and factors associated with carcass condemnation caused by white striping (WS) and wooden breast (WB) in broilers from a federally inspected slaughterhouse. Twelve flocks, totaling 207,000 slaughtered broilers, were assessed as to weight and age at slaughter, and stocking density and carcass condemnations due to these two myopathies were also evaluated. Economic losses were estimated by the price of poultry breast at the firm level, around U$ 19,12 per kilo, amounting to daily losses of up to U$ 70,632.00, given that approximately 0.8% of the chicken breasts were condemned. Heavier broilers had a larger condemnation rate due to WS and WB, and so did those reared at a smaller density, due probably to their better access to water and feed, which contributed to weight gain and consequent condemnation, resulting in losses that could affect the entire poultry sector.
The Use of Closed Incision Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy in Orthopaedic Surgery
Authors: Nam Denis , Sershon Robert A. , Levine Brett R. , Della Valle Craig J.
Published: April 2018

Wound complications and surgical site infections after orthopaedic procedures result in substantial morbidity and costs. Traditional postoperative wound care consists of applying sterile, dry gauze and abdominal pads to the surgical site, with more frequent dressing changes performed in cases in which wound drainage is excessive. Persistent incisional drainage is of particular concern because it increases the risk of deep infection. The use of closed incision negative-pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) to manage delayed wound healing was first reported a decade ago, and the benefits of this treatment modality include wound contraction with diminished tensile forces, stabilization of the wound environment, decreased edema and improved removal of exudate, and increased blood and lymphatic flow. Numerous trauma, plastic surgery, and general surgery studies have demonstrated that ciNPWT improves wound healing. In orthopaedic surgery, ciNPWT has been shown to be clinically effective for incisions at high risk for perioperative complications. However, specific indications for ciNPWT continue to be defined.
Sensory processing disorder in children: Determinants, signs, and symptoms
Authors: Cygan Barbara
Published: April 2018

Based on a review of recent publications, the paper offers an insight into the issue of sensory processing disorder (SPD), discusses its signs and symptoms, and gives examples of behaviors that can be seen in children with SPD. It points to the fact that sensory processing disorder can significantly hinder or even limit children's functioning in their social life, family, and school as it deprives them of experiences that are essential for learning and normal development. That is why it is important to diagnose the disorder early to implement treatment that will help to overcome and/or adapt to SPD.
The problem of sensory processing disorder is important as more and more children are suffering from it. It should also be mentioned that it is frequently a comorbid condition, which co-occurs, for example, with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and intellectual disability or develops in children at risk of developmental disorders (due to perinatal complications, cesarean section or prematurity).
Teaching gifted students in elementary school

Published: April 2018

Every human being comes into this world with his or her unique potential. That is why the importance of individualization in education is emphasized so strongly — especially inteaching gifted children. Yet, to begin with, how to define a gifted child? What does it mean? Facing the challenges of the education system, are teachers able to identify gifted students in their classrooms? Can they plan their work so that it simultaneously develops gifted students' abilities and supports them in other areas? The research undertaken attempts to answer these and other questions.
Family environment’s influence on shaping child identity and on its structure as perceived by adolescents – A phenomenographic study
Authors: Gątorek Izabela
Published: April 2018

The presented study is a presentation of the phenomenological study. The essence of the applied research approach is to know the subjective meanings that the investigated persons give to the phenomena surrounding their world. This "meaning" is the basic meaning here. The essence of the analysis presented here is closely related to the way in which the researched group perceives the world in which it lives. Thanks to the method of interviewing, it was possible to reach the meanings that young people were sending to their families. Research has been subjected to their perception, understanding, perception and conceptualization - giving meaning. By way of this analysis of research material, seven basic family emergencies were identified, as indicated by the study group. Describing the successive interpretations, they were supported by statements in which the concepts were clearly presented. The isolated concepts are in two planes. The first is if you can make such wording, direct perception, family perspective in the first sighted look. The second plane is more deeply analyzed and perceived in the sphere of complex relationships and messages. The first three identities were identified: the family as a person, a place and a bond, in a specifically understood plane of direct understanding of the family, and four more: the family as teacher, carrier, donor and recipient as indications of the depth of the analyzed and perceived sphere of complex relations and message.
The discussion of selected family concepts led to identifying the family as co-creator of the identity of the young man. The author of the presented reflections, based on the obtained research material, points to the family as the material the child and later the young person "uses" to build their own image of the world and above all themselves in this world.

Introdução: A formação do médico de família e comunidade tem nos serviços de Atenção Primária à Saúde o principal cenário de práticas. Além destes, outros estágios têm sido empregados para o aprimoramento de competências específicas. Objetivo: Descrever o perfil de estágios externos realizados pelos médicos residentes no programa de residência em Medicina de Família e Comunidade da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. Resultados: Os estágios externos acontecem durante 2 meses no segundo ano de residência e são divididos igualmente em estágio eletivo (em que é necessário vínculo com a instituição) e optativo (podem ser selecionados livremente). A maioria destes estágios ocorre no Brasil e através de vínculos informais, sem haver uma parceria ou arranjo oficial entre instituições e/ou serviços. Os principais estágios buscados são em medicina rural e no National Health Service (Reino Unido). Conclusão: Estágios externos enriquecem a formação do residente e possibilitam o aprimoramento do programa de residência. Grande parte dos estágios é solicitada por contato informal, o que aponta para o desafio de firmar vínculos entre pessoas, serviços e instituições, visando fortalecer cada vez mais a formação em Medicina de Família e Comunidade.
The Dialectic of the Individual and the Collective
Authors: Holmstrom Nancy ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2018

Instead of understanding property and rationality individualistically as in capitalism, the ecological crisis makes it imperative that we change the priority to the social/collective point of view. Public goods/commonstock should be the default, and private property should have to be justified. Rationality should be understood not primarily from an individual perspective, but from a social/collective point of view. This does not entail the sacrifice of individual rights and freedom to the collective, but rather the synthesis of the two. Planning and freedom coincide if the planning is democratic, which can only happen in a more egalitarian society.

Published: April 2018

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as tendências históricas nas produções científicas da enfermagem relacionadas ao Sistema Único de Saúde, no período de 1990 a 2006. A pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada através dos resumos das dissertações e teses encontradas nos Catálogos do Centro de Estudos e Pesquisa em Enfermagem, selecionando-se 31 resumos que continham Sistema Único de Saúde como descritor. Os temas foram agrupados em cinco categorias: Atuação do Profissional Enfermeiro; Controle Social; Formação Profissional em Saúde; Organização dos Serviços de Saúde e Direito à Saúde. Concluiu-se que a tendência na construção do conhecimento de enfermagem vincula-se aos aspectos técnicos e operacionais dos enfermeiros, em detrimento das abordagens relacionadas às questões sociais e políticas do sistema de saúde, demonstrando um distanciamento entre o movimento para consolidação do SUS e as produções acadêmicas da enfermagem.
Estratégia de Saúde da Família e o sistema de referência e de contra-referência: um desafio a ser enfrentado
Authors: Machado Letícia Martins , Colomé Juliana Silveira , Beck Carmem Lúcia Colomé
Published: April 2018

Estudo qualitativo que objetivou analisar a percepção de profissionais da Estratégia de Saúde da Família acerca do sistema de referência e contra-referência de um município do interior do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Participaram do estudo profissionais integrantes de duas equipes de saúde, totalizando nove participantes. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio de entrevista semi-estruturada e os dados submetidos à análise de conteúdo temática. Ao analisar os dados, concluiu-se que existem lacunas que restringem as ações do sistema de referência e contra-referência, o qual embora represente uma ferramenta para o desenvolvimento de serviços de saúde pautados na integralidade, encontra dificuldades para sua efetivação na realidade investigada. Considera-se a necessidade de uma reorganização dos serviços de saúde, uma vez que os fundamentos do Sistema Único de Saúde parecem ainda não terem sido incorporados na organização do sistema e, consequentemente, no fazer dos profissionais que atuam neste contexto.

Published: April 2018

A Política de Atenção Integral a Saúde do Homem considera os agravos de saúde do homem como problemas de saúde pública que demandam condutas e ações preventivas e assistenciais específicas. Esta problemática justifica o desenvolvimento deste estudo que tem como objetivo analisar as ações de atenção à saúde do homem realizadas por enfermeiros em Unidades de Estratégia de Saúde da Família e as condições de informação desses profissionais sobre a Política Integral de Saúde do Homem em dois municípios em gestão plena do Vale do Rio Pardo - RS. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de caráter exploratório-descritivo com quinze enfermeiras que responderam a um questionário. Os dados coletados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontam que os enfermeiros consideram importante a política de saúde do homem, porém ainda são frágeis as condições de implementação desta política, em especial, de conhecimento, incentivo e planejamento de ações específicas destinadas ao homem.

Este estudo delineou o perfil dos doadores e não doadores de sangue de uma cidade do Sul do Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com abordagem quantitativa. Os dados foram obtidos através de formulários com amostra de 236 estudantes universitários e de 152 usuários que acessaram o pronto atendimento do hospital da mesma cidade, totalizando 388 indivíduos. O instrumento foi aplicado no mês de outubro de 2008, sendo obtidos dados como: sexo, escolaridade, idade, e, se eram ou não doadores de sangue. Questionava-se, ainda, sobre as razões para doar ou não sangue. Verificou-se que o total de mulheres e homens doadores se equipara. Em relação à idade, o adulto jovem predomina na doação de sangue. O motivo, mais freqüente, para doação foi o sentimento de ajudar as pessoas, e para não doação, foi o medo do procedimento. Aponta-se que ainda há espaço para esclarecimento sobre o processo de doação.

Published: April 2018

Este estudo objetivou investigar os saberes e as percepções de mulheres em relação à coleta de exame citopatológico do colo de útero. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa de caráter descritivo e exploratório em uma cidade do interior do sul do Brasil. O estudo foi realizado com mulheres que buscaram o atendimento para a realização do exame em três Unidades de Saúde da Família. Para definição do número de participantes, utilizou-se o critério de saturação em cada Unidade de Saúde da Família. Realizou-se a coleta de dados por meio de entrevistas e, posteriormente, análise temática. As mulheres apresentam conhecimento acerca do objetivo do exame. Além disso, afloraram sentimentos como vergonha e constrangimento, os quais são construídos culturalmente e se constituem barreiras para a realização da coleta do citopatológico de colo uterino.

Published: April 2018

Este estudo tem como objetivo refletir sobre a utilização dos Sistemas de Informação em Saúde, seus conceitos, suas possibilidades e também os desafios que emergem a partir de sua inserção nas instituições de saúde. Para tanto, procedeu-se à leitura crítica de diversas fontes de informação que tratavam do assunto. Assim, a partir da reflexão teórica feita neste trabalho, verificou-se que os sistemas de informação em saúde têm proporcionado grandes implicações para o cotidiano de trabalho dos profissionais de saúde. Estas implicações podem ser traduzidas em contribuições, desafios e possibilidades de discussão da práxis informacional em saúde. Enfim, constata-se que a inserção desses sistemas no ambiente de trabalho podem promover, de forma geral, grandes mudanças relacionadas ao processo decisório dos trabalhadores em saúde, configurando-se como um instrumento de suporte importante neste processo.

Este estudo buscou analisar o relacionamento entre profissionais de saúde e parturientes no centro obstétrico de uma maternidade pública do interior da Bahia. Tratou-se de um estudo descritivo, exploratório e qualitativo, realizado com treze puérperas através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, no período de fevereiro a abril de 2010 e que respeitou a resolução 196/96 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde. A Análise de Conteúdo dos dados demonstrou que as entrevistadas caracterizaram a assistência recebida como indiferente, pois os profissionais de saúde estabeleceram uma relação assimétrica e de poder, sendo o contato maior com a parturiente no período expulsivo. Há necessidade da adoção de ações que visem o acolhimento da parturiente, fazendo desta uma experiência humanizada, devolvendo à mulher o protagonismo deste tão sublime momento.

A ameixa amarela (Eriobotrya japonica) é uma fruta cítrica de origem asiática, cultivada no sul e sudeste do Brasil. As frutas contêm de 3 a 5 sementes que são consideradas resíduos industriais e o óleo presente nestas sementes apresenta elevados níveis de polifenóis, que ajudam a combater radicais livres, podendo se tornar uma possível aplicação na área alimentícia e química. Neste sentido, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar diferentes condições de extração do óleo presente na semente da ameixa amarela. A fruta madura foi colhida no município de Chapecó/Santa Catarina e as sementes foram retiradas manualmente e a extração foi realizada pelo método de Soxhlet. Através de um planejamento fatorial completo 2², em duplicata, variou-se o tipo de solvente (hexano e etanol) e o tempo de extração (60 e 120 min). Os resultados mostraram que apenas o tipo de solvente foi significativo, sendo que, o solvente mais eficaz foi o etanol extraindo 15% de óleo. O modelo matemático obtido foi preditivo e explica 99,16% das respostas obtidas por ele. O solvente etanol, por ser oriundo de recursos renováveis, abre portas para futuras pesquisas na área de extração, em comparação com o solvente hexano, que pode deixar resíduos tóxicos nos óleos.

Infecções ocasionadas por microrganismos patogênicos são um problema de saúde pública que demandam atenção e estudo já há algum tempo. Novos agentes antimicrobianos despertam interesse de estudo, visando o desenvolvimento de materiais que confiram atividade antimicrobiana. Tendo em vista esta problemática, este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a atividade antimicrobiana de nanopartículas de óxido de zinco (NPs-ZnO) e nanopartículas de dióxido de titânio (NPs-TiO2) frente às bactérias Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) e Escherichia coli (E. coli). Para avaliar a atividade antimicrobiana das NPs-ZnO e NPs-TiO2 realizou-se testes de difusão em meio sólido e Concentração Inibitória Mínima (CIM). Para as NPs-ZnO, o diâmetro médio do halo de inibição foi de 1,1 ± 0,06 cm e 0,7 ± 0,15 cm para S. aureus e E. coli, respectivamente. A CIM das NPs-ZnO determinada no presente estudo para inibir S. aureus varia de 391,7 µg mL-1 e 783,3 µg mL-1, enquanto que para E. coli não foi possível determinar a CIM em virtude de a solução saturada de NPs-ZnO não ser suficiente para causar inibição efetiva desta bactéria. Já para as NPs-TiO2, não houve a formação de halo de inibição, bem como, não foi possível a determinação da CIM para nenhuma das estirpes bacterianas em estudo, reafirmando a incapacidade de inibição bacteriana das NPs-TiO2, sem uma fonte fornecedora de luz UV e/ou visível.

(Im)possible coïncidence des textes : l’ordinaire de la création. « The Sea in Winter » (Derek Mahon) / « La Mer hivernale » (Jacques Chuto)
Authors: Boisseau Maryvonne
Published: April 2018

La traduction littéraire n’est pas simple communication ou simple transmission du sens. Elle est aussi écriture originale parce qu’elle procède d’une énonciation qui est unique comme celle dont a procédé le texte initial. C’est en se fondant sur cette hypothèse que cet article interroge l’adéquation entre les termes de traduction et création et la portée de la comparaison « latraductioncomme création ». L’article s’attache d’abord à la proximité sémantique des termes de création et créativité que l’on substitue souvent l’un à l’autre. Puis sont examinés les liens entre le processus de traduction en tant que cheminement créatif et le « produit », en tant que création. L’article avance l’idée que la traduction peut être appréciée comme une création si elle résulte d’un travail qui vise à la rencontre des textes et cherche une concordance esthétique et poétique entre les langues en puisant dans les profondeurs de la langue de traduction. À cette fin, sont comparés des extraits du poème « The Sea in Winter » de Derek Mahon et de sa traduction par Jacques Chuto, « La Mer hivernale », afin de mettre au jour les ressorts de l’ordinaire de la création.
Pont de suspension. La collaboration auteur-traducteur mise à nu
Authors: Berri Kenneth R.
Published: April 2018

Lorsque l’auteur d’un roman et un traducteur travaillent ensemble, cela crée une situation unique, fondée sur la créativité et l’interprétation. Cet article expose les différents étais et états d’une telle entreprise littéraire, et examine la collaboration de l’auteur et du traducteur dans la production de trois versions successives de deux passages du roman De troublants détours (Sanconie 2004). Chaque version représente le matériau du pont créatif qui symbolise la distance entre les textes source et cible. L’auteur et le traducteur sont temporairement suspendus dans cet espace créatif où l’un et l’autre attendent leurs commentaires réciproques sur les étapes de la traduction. L’alliance de l’auteur et du traducteur crée un nouvel espace où les textes source et cible convergent et cohabitent en dépit de leur altérité. La nouvelle traduction, en tant que création, est le produit d’un recyclage des différentes versions ainsi que de négociations impliquant la narration et les stratégies de représentation et d’interprétation, dans des circonstances et selon des paramètres qui repoussent les frontières de la traduction classique.
La comunicación de las empresas de servicios profesionales B2B. El caso de las agencias de publicidad
Authors: Díaz Méndez Montserrat
Published: April 2018

The increase in competition, the existence of better trained, less tolerant clients with easy access to sources of information, coupled with the difficulties caused by economic recessions, has led companies to strengthen the communications role as an essential means for positioning in the market and for attracting new clients. This article focuses on the study of communications of a particular type of company that is active in the business-to-business market: the Professional Service Company. The characteristics of the environment, together with the peculiarities of the services rendered and the traditional reluctance of professionals to carry out communication activities, make this kind of communication a field that requires special attention. Therefore, we intend to analyze the communications functions of the Professional Services Sector from both a theoretical and practical standpoint: learn about their difficulties, their goals and the mediums available in order to attain them. A study based on multi case methodology in the advertising agency sector, it provides relevant information on the communication practices of these companies – who provide advice to their clients on the subject, while, at the same time, highlights their main difficulties and how the professionalization of communications would help mitigate these difficulties.
