Knowledge and attitudes of health care workers from intensive care units regarding nosocomial transmission of influenza: a study on the immediate pre-pandemic period

The transmission of influenza in health care settings is a major threat to patients, especially those with severe diseases. The attitude of health care workers (HCWs) may influence the transmission of countless infections. The current study aimed to quantify knowledge and identify attitudes of HCWs involved in intensive care units (ICUs) regarding the risk of nosocomial influenza transmission. A questionnaire was applied through interviews to HCWs who worked in one of the five ICUs from a teaching hospital. Questions about influenza were deliberately dispersed among others that assessed several infectious agents. Forty-two HCWs were interviewed: nine physicians, ten nurses and 23 nursing technicians or auxiliaries. Among the 42 HCWs, 98% were aware of the potential transmission of influenza virus in the ICUs, but only 31% would indicate droplet precautions for patients with suspected infection. Moreover, only 31% of them had been vaccinated against influenza in the last campaign (2008). Nursing technicians or auxiliaries were more likely to have been vaccinated, both by univariate and multivariable analysis. When asked about absenteeism, only 10% of the study subjects stated that they would not go to work if they had an influenza-like illness. Those findings suggest that, in non-pandemic periods, influenza control in hospitals requires strategies that combine continuous education with changes in organizational culture.Federal University of São Paulo Course of Health Care InfectionsSão Paulo State University Botucatu Medical School Department of Tropical DiseasesUNIFESP, Course of Health Care InfectionsSciEL

On Galois-Division Multiple Access Systems: Figures of Merit and Performance Evaluation

A new approach to multiple access based on finite field transforms is investigated. These schemes, termed Galois-Division Multiple Access (GDMA), offer compact bandwidth requirements. A new digital transform, the Finite Field Hartley Transform (FFHT) requires to deal with fields of characteristic p, p \neq 2. A binary-to-p-ary (p \neq 2) mapping based on the opportunistic secondary channel is introduced. This allows the use of GDMA in conjunction with available digital systems. The performance of GDMA is also evaluated.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures. In: XIX Simposio Brasileiro de Telecomunicacoes, 2001, Fortaleza, CE, Brazi

ACTIVE CONTROL FOR THE RE-ENTRY OPERATION OF FLEXIBLE RISERS

International audienceThis paper presents an active control dedicated to a re-entry problem found in the offshore oil industry. The re-entry operation consists in connecting the bottom of a very long pipeline to the wellhead, by dynamically modifying the pipeline top position, which is linked to a floating device (vessel or plat- form). These long pipelines are usually called risers, because they are used to rise the drilling mud or the hydrocarbons from the wellhead to the platform. Nowadays the re-entry operation is done manu- ally. The use of an active control intends to reduce the operation time, and to make it possible even under bad weather conditions. The considered offshore structure can be analyzed as a cable submerged in a flow. A convenient model is given by the Bernoulli's historical cable equation, completed with a damping factor, that linearly depends on the structure speed. The damping factor is developed in series around zero, to get an approximate solution. The corresponding model turns out to be differentially flat[1], a property directly used in the control design, providing an extension to previous works of Petit and Rouchon [2], Thull et al [3], and Sabri [4]. This paper presents an overview of the results of [5]. Furthermore it contains material concerning a new tracking system, that uses the system inversion to define the feedback control

A tecnologia da informação na administração municipal de fortaleza

This article is a application about importance that eletronic information represents to brazilian govern, especially, close to municipal district Fortaleza. Through of research in a Regional Executive Secretary of Municipal District Fortaleza was observed a introduce of the information based in system of the informatic. The object of the article is primely to show that Public Govern is interessed in to permit that your citizens know how has been the decisions and, then, they can take part in of this govern’s transparency. The Municipal District Fortaleza walks toward to rearrangement of your govern and has utilized the technologic system of information to make sure that process. It´s prominent that the conditions of municipal govern aren’t too good. There is a very precariousness of budget and so Fortaleza town hall hasn’t got to advance very much, however, that has hard-working for to warranty a govern too better

O mercado de moda popular brasileira: os centros de comercialização de vestuário popular na região Nordeste do Brasil

O presente trabalho consiste na elaboração de uma pesquisa bibliográfica acerca das investigações realizadas sobre os mercados de comercialização de vestuário popular que tem vindo a demonstrar grandes movimentações económicas em várias regiões do Brasil. Tal estudo objetiva o levantamento das publicações já realizadas acerca do tema e por meio destes coletar informações capazes de descrever o atual contexto económico e de negociações das feiras e os centros de comercialização de vestuário popular na região Nordeste do Brasil, especificamente a feira da Rua José Avelino e o centro comercial Beco da Poeira de Fortaleza, capital do Estado do Ceará. Com a catalogação das publicações nos contextos: mundial, Brasil, Nordeste e Fortaleza, constatou-se que o mercado de moda popular tem apresentado rendimentos económicos para grandes empresas, fonte de emprego para as classes periféricas (120 mil empregos diretos no Pernambuco), crescente número de trabalhadores (2030 pontos de vendas no Beco da Poeira e entre 4 e 5 mil vendedores na feira da Rua José Avelino em Fortaleza) e rendimentos económicos positivos para os feirantes (cerca de R$5 mil ((€ 1.500) por mês). Apesar de apresentar estas importantes informações, os mercados de moda popular de Fortaleza, não tem sido explorado e a vertente inédita desta investigação revela-se no contexto da moda brasileira e até mundial.This study aimed to survey the publications already undertaken on the subject and through them, collect information that can describe the current economic situation and business of fairs and popular clothing markets centers in northeastern Brazil, specifically the fair José Avelino Street and the mall Beco da Poeira in Ceara, state capital. With the compilation of publications in the contexts of world, Brazil, Northeast and Fortaleza, it was found that the popular fashion market has economic returns for big companies, employment sources for the peripheral classes (120 thousand direct jobs in Pernambuco), increasing number of employees (2 100 sales points in mall Beco da Poeira and between 4 and 5 thousand sales person at the fair José Avelino in Fortaleza Street) and positive economic returns for the fairground (about R$ 5000 (€ 1500) monthly). Despite presenting this important information, the popular fashion markets of Fortaleza, has not been the subject of interest of fashion researchers and the innovation of this research is the study of the Brazilian popular fashion reality, arising from the worldwide economy.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
