Oficina de dietoterapia para profissionais da saúde

Trabalho apresentado no II Congresso Nacional do PROJETO RONDON, realizado em Florianópolis, SC, no período de 23 a 25 de setembro de 2015 - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.A oficina de Dietoterapia para Profissionais da Saúde, foi desenvolvida como parte das atividades da Operação Rondon Estadual em 2015, na cidade de Ibaiti no estado do Paraná, realizada no período de 19 a 29 de julho de 2015. Esta operação teve a participação de discentes e docentes da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa – UEPG e da Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná – UNIOESTE. Dietoterapia é o tratamento dos indivíduos portadores de determinada patologia através da alimentação adequada para cada situação especial, considerando não só a doença, mas também as condições que se encontra a pessoa. Sabendo-se que o hospital local da cidade não conta com uma nutricionista contratada para os serviços da Unidade de Alimentação e Nutrição (UAN), para orientar os profissionais, as dietas acabavam sendo feitas á qualquer modo. Almeja-se com essa oficina atender profissionais da saúde, cozinheiras e copeiras do hospital, não somente sobre conhecimentos básicos dos tipos de dietas, bem como da importância dos tipos de dietas. Para a delimitação do tema na oficina “Tipos de Dietas” foram levados em vista os princípios básicos para prescrição de dietas que são as necessidades nutricionais que devem ser individualizadas. Na prescrição se designa o tipo de dieta, quantidade, frequência, via de administração, inclui necessidades calóricas e distribuição de macro e micronutrientes, fibras e líquidos. A oficina teve por objetivo capacitar sobre os tipos de dietas nos tratamentos dietoterápicos e os critérios para a Gastronomia Hospitalar. A metodologia utilizada para realização da ação foi dividida em dois momentos, sendo o primeiro com contextualização teórica, e no segundo momento procedeu a elaboração pratica das dietas. Essa por sua vez transcorreu nas dependências da cozinha da escola “Casa da Criança”, onde havia apenas alguns tipos de alimentos e utensílios, pois a ideia também era fazer com que o publico que participava desenvolve-se alternativas e criatividades com o que se havia no momento. Houve uma participação efetiva em todas as atividades propostas e atingiram-se os objetivos propostos para a oficina. Dos 30 participantes 77% que estavam presentes não tinham conhecimento sobre as dietas, à importância para as respectivas doenças, e a compreensão da dieta em sua totalidade, da necessidade de haver acompanhamento diário do paciente, verificando a aceitabilidade da dieta, intercorrências e modificações necessárias. Em suma, a oficina ofertou novas visões, conhecimentos e benefícios que a dietoterapia pode trazer e os malefícios quando não se tem embasamento teórico sobre o assunto

New HVAC Sustainability Index - TWI (Total Water Impact)

Sales of air conditioning are growing rapidly in buildings, more than tripling between 1990 and 2016. This energy use for air conditioning comes from a combination of rising temperatures, rising population and economic growth. Energy demand for climate control will triple by 2050, consuming more energy than that currently consumed altogether by the United States, the European Union and Japan. This increase in energy will directly impact water consumption, either to directly cool a condenser of an equipment or to serve indirectly as a basis for energy sources such as hydroelectric power that feed these heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Knowing the unique and growing importance of water, a new index, Total Water Impact (TWI) is presented, which allows a holistic comparison of the impact of water use on water, air and evaporative condensation climate systems. 200 and 500 TON (tons of refrigeration) air-cooled and water-cooled systems are theoretically compared to evaluate the general water consumption level. The TWI index is higher in the smallest water condensing system. That is, holistically, water consumption is higher in the water condensing system than in the air condensing system. Thus, this index provides a new insight about energy consumption and ultimately, about sustainability.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

A new species of Microcancilla from the southwestern Atlantic and notes on Microcancilla brasiliensis comb. nov. (Gastropoda, Cancellariidae)

Microcancilla phoenix sp. nov., collected from the Southeast and South coast of Brazil represents the southernmost record of the genus in the Atlantic Ocean. The new species differs from the other congeners of the Atlantic mainly by the presence of microscopic pustules covering the whole shell and by dimensions of the protoconch. “Axelella brasiliensis” Verhecken, 1991, known from the Northeast to South coast of Brazil, is transferred to Microcancilla based on a similar sculpture of microscopic pustules on the protoconch and on other features of the teleoconch discussed in the present study

An Empirical Investigation of the Relationship between Information Quality and Individual Impact in Organizations

The aim of this research is to confirm that information quality impacts individual work, considering external variables that may influence knowledge workers perception of information quality and individual impact. This research is descriptive and the constructs used are known and previously validated. However, the research model, that includes external variables that may influence the relationship between perceived information quality and individual impact, has never been proposed nor validated by other researchers. The research unit is the individual that work in organizations and use at least one information system to do his/her job. A survey using self employed electronic questionnaire was applied to one large organization that operates in Paraná State, Brazil. Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the data. The results confirmed the positive influence of information quality on individual impacts and pointed out external variables that influence these perceived variables

Evaluating R&D Program of the Brazilian Electricity Sector through Industrial Property Indicators

The Law 9,991/2000 can be considered a milestone in the history of the ANEEL R&D Program, which was created to stimulate the technological development of the Brazilian Electricity Sector. Around R$ 4.5 billion were already invested in the program, covering more than 6,000 projects. Considering the amount of resources involved, the present study aimed to evaluate the results of this program, after the Law 9,221/2000, using industrial property indicators as a measure of performance. The research was based on a survey of the applications for patents and industrial designs, filed in the Brazilian Patent Office (INPI), by the 117 companies operating in the electricity generation segment. The findings showed: the companies that had at least one patent or industrial design application filed in the INPI after the Law 9,991/2000; the type of protection requested; and if the content of the application was related to the goals of the program

Ecoenergetic Comparison of HVAC Systems in Data Centers

The topic of sustainability is of high importance today. Global efforts such as the Montreal Protocol (1987) and the Kigali Amendment (2016) are examples of joint work by countries to reduce environmental impacts and improve the level of the ozone layer, the choice of refrigerants and air conditioning systems, which is essential for this purpose. But what indicators are to be used to measure something so necessary? In this article, the types of air conditioning and GWP (Global Warming Potential) levels of equipment in the project phase were discussed, the issue of TEWI (Total Equivalent Warming Impact) that measures the direct and indirect environmental impacts of refrigeration equipment and air conditioning and a new methodology for the indicator was developed, the TEWI DC (DC is the direct application for Data Center), and using the formulas of this new adapted indicator it was demonstrated that the TEWI DC for Chicago (USA) was 2,784,102,640 kg CO2/10 years and Curitiba (Brazil) is 1,252,409,640 kg CO2/10 years. This difference in value corresponds to 222.30% higher annual emissions in Chicago than in Curitiba, showing that it is much more advantageous to install a Data Center in Curitiba than in Chicago in terms of environmental impact. The TEWI indicator provides a more holistic view, helping to combine energy and emissions into the same indicator.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Evaluation of the heat and energy performance of a datacenter by a new efficiency index: Energy Usage Effectiveness Design - EUED

Data Centers are growing steadily worldwide and they are expected to continue on growing up to 53% in 2020. Due to this growth the energy efficiency in this type of building is essential. There are methodologies to measure this efficiency; one example is PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness). The unit suggested for measuring efficiency at the design stage would be the EUED (Energy Usage Efficiency Design) with this will be used data to use "free cooling" and adiabatic system in some cases, a comparison will be made only considering the equipment in the worst situation. It also uses the study of enthalpy utilization as a new methodology to obtain the results. By doing so, differences were found, between cities than 1.21% of São Paulo in relation to Curitiba and 10.61% of Rio de Janeiro in relation to Curitiba. The indices obtained by applying the EUED index were 1.245 kW.kW- 1 for Curitiba, 1.260 kW.kW-1 for São Paulo and 1.377 kW.kW-1 for Rio de Janeiro, respectively, giving a difference of 16.86% for Curitiba of 16.19% for São Paulo and 10.31% for Rio de Janeiro in relation to PUE COA (Power Usage Effectiveness Constant Outdoor Air).info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Refrigeration of COVID-19 Vaccines: Ideal Storage Characteristics, Energy Efficiency and Environmental Impacts of Various Vaccine Options

This article considers the ideal storage conditions for multiple vaccine brands, such as Pfizer, Moderna, CoronaVac, Oxford–AstraZeneca, Janssen COVID-19 and Sputnik V. Refrigerant fluid options for each storage condition, thermal load to cool each type of vaccine and environmental impacts of refrigerants are compared. An energy simulation using the EUED (energy usage effectiveness design) index was developed. The Oxford–AstraZeneca, Janssen COVID-19 and CoronaVac vaccines show 9.34-times higher energy efficiency than Pfizer. In addition, a TEWI (total equivalent warming impact) simulation was developed that prioritizes direct environmental impacts and indirect in refrigeration. From this analysis, it is concluded that the cold storage of Oxford–AstraZeneca, Janssen COVID-19 and CoronaVac vaccines in Brazil generates 35-times less environmental impact than the Pfizer vaccine.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
