Solos geniosos, de epocas turbulentas : cronicas de Antonio de Alcantara Machado para o Diario da Noite

Orientador: Maria Eugenia BoaventuraDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Estudos da LinguagemResumo: Neste trabalho, procuramos realizar a edição comentada de alguns dos textos jornalísticos escritos por António de Alcântara Machado para o jornal Diário da Noite, do Rio de Janeiro, entre 14 de agosto de 1934 e 05 de abril de 1935, quando o modernista, então dedicado à carreira política, exercia também a função de diretor do periódico, sendo responsável por seus editoriais. Foram recolhidos para nossa edição, que compõe o segundo volume, 109 textos, ainda inéditos em livro. Optou-se pela divisão temática e, no interior de cada uma das partes da edição, os textos obedecem a uma ordem cronológica. Segue-se, no final do mesmo volume, o índice onomástico. O primeiro volume é dedicado ao estudo dos textos reunidos. Uma vez que a temática política mostrou-se a mais freqüente, fez-se necessário tratar acerca do momento histórico-político vivido pelo Brasil no período em que António escrevia para o jornal carioca. A fim de que tal momento fosse melhor compreendido, voltamo-nos para acontecimentos importantes que o antecederam, como as Revoluções de 1930 e a Constitucionalista de 1932. O senso crítico do jornalista e intelectual do Modernismo, sempre preocupado em desnudar a realidade brasileira, revela-se nos textos recolhidos, sobretudo quando o autor se refere ao governo do presidente Getúlio Vargas. O paulista, voluntário da Revolução Constitucionalista, ao atacar a figura do presidente, defende a democracia e um governo apoiado na Constituição. Revela-se também, em alguns textos, a face do escritor literário. Aí, nota-se a presença de recursos próprios da ficção, os quais nos remetem ao António de "Gaetaninho" e "Carmela" e permitem mais uma vez visualizar, antes do político, o intelectual modernista, que não abandonou os ideais de renovação estética e da realidade nacional, típicos de sua geraçãoAbstract: Through this project we have tried to show a commented edition on some journalistic texts written by Antonio de Alcântara Machado to Diário da Noite, a newspaper in Rio de Janeiro, between August 14th, 1934 and April 5th, 1935. In this period the modernist, being the director of the newspaper, used to be responsible for its editorials. A hundred and nine unpublished texts have been collected to become part of our edition. We have decided on a thematic division and within each part the texts obey a chronological order. In the end of the final volume, there is an A to Z. The first volume is dedicated to the analysis of the included texts. Once the political theme has come up as the most frequent one, it has become important to deal with the historical and political context of the period that Antonio wrote to the newspaper in Rio de Janeiro. In order to make this period more comprehensible, we have chosen to face important facts that happened before, such as the Constitutional Revolution in 1932 and the 1930 Revolution. We can observe the modernist intellectual and journalist' s critica1 view throughout the chosen texts, mainly when the author refers to Getúlio Vargas' govemment. Being from São Paulo and a volunteer in the Constitutional Revolution, he supports democracy and a govemment based on a constitution when he attacks Vargas. In some texts, it is possible to detect the author's literary side. There we can identify the presence of fictional aspects that take us back to António's " Gaetinho" "Carmela" e" Liseta". These aspects also permit our recognizing, not only the politician, but also the modernist intellectual that did not give up the ideaIs of an esthetic revolution, nor the national rea1itythat were very much related to his generationMestradoTeoria LiterariaMestre em Letra

Economical Evaluation through Gross Profit and Cash Flow in Different Beef Cattle Systems in Rio Grande Do Sul

Beef cattle production is suffering numerous difficulties in productive and economical terms in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Expanding new markets, competition with other meats, external competition through imported Mercosul beef, new growth and slaughter processes bring new challenges to the Brazilian livestock production. In the case of Rio Grande do Sul, another factor to be considered is the competition with Central States in the internal market. Meat prices received by farmers in the last years stayed constant, but prices of the main production inputs are still rising. This scenery brought continuous income decrease to the beef cattle farmers. As a result, many farmers are selling part of their lands or leaving beef cattle production. This paper aims to compare gross income and cash flows in three farms with different beef cattle systems during the years of 2003 and 2004, as well as analysing the cost percentage of different inputs necessary to the production systems. The farms are located in different regions: Campanha, Depressão Central and Fronteira Oeste, representing important agricultural production regions in the in Rio Grande do Sul state. The results show that without technological modernisation in beef cattle production systems and integration with agriculture, it becomes difficult to remunerate all the production factors. Planning allows a better income distribution, reducing the months of negative cash flow. However, the low profit per area demonstrates the gravity of the economical situation of beef cattle farmers in Rio Grande do Sul.beef cattle systems, gross profit, cash flow, Livestock Production/Industries,

Comparative study of chemical and mechanical retentive systems for bonding of indirect composite resin to commercially pure titanium

This study evaluated the effect of chemical and mechanical surface treatments for cast metal alloys on the bond strength of an indirect composite resin (Artglass) to commercially pure titanium (cpTi). Thirty cylindrical metal rods (3 mm diameter x 60 mm long) were cast in grade-1 cpTi and randomly assigned to 6 groups (n=5) according to the received surface treatment: sandblasting; chemical treatment; mechanical treatment - 0.4 mm beads; mechanical treatment - 0.6 mm beads; chemical/mechanical treatment - 0.4 mm; and chemical/mechanical treatment - 0.6 mm beads. Artglass rings (6.0 mm diameter x 2.0 mm thick) were light cured around the cpTi rods, according manufacturer's specifications. The specimens were invested in hard gypsum and their bond strength (in MPa) to the rods was measured at fracture with a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 2.0 mm/min and 500 kgf load cell. Data were analyzed statistically by one-way ANOVA and Tukey test (a=5%). The surface treatments differed significantly from each other (p<0.05) regarding the recorded bond strengths. Chemical retention and sandblasting showed statistically similar results to each other (p=0.139) and both had significantly lower bond strengths (p<0.05) than the other treatments. In conclusion, mechanical retention, either associated or not to chemical treatment, provided higher bond strength of the indirect composite resin to cpTi.Este estudo avaliou o efeito de tratamentos de superfície químico e mecânico para ligas metálicas fundidas sobre a resistência de união de uma resina composta indireta (Artglass) ao titânio comercialmente puro (Ti cp). Trinta varetas cilíndricas metálicas (3 mm diâmetro x 60 mm comprimento) foram fundidas em Ti cp grau 1 e igualmente divididas em grupos de acordo com os seguintes tratamentos de superfície: jateamento, químico, mecânico com esferas de 0,4 mm, mecânico com esferas de 0,6 mm, químico/mecânico com esferas de 0,4 mm e químico/mecânico com esferas de 0,6 mm. Anéis de Artglass (6 mm diâmetro X 2 mm espessura) foram fotopolimerizados ao redor das varetas, de acordo com as recomendações do fabricante. Os corpos-de-prova foram embutidos em gesso-pedra e a resistência de união (MPa) foi medida em uma máquina universal de ensaios com velocidade de 2,0 mm/min e célula de carga de 500 kgf. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente por ANOVA a um critério e teste de Tukey (a=5%). Houve diferença estatisticamente significante (p<0,05) entre os tratamentos de superfície quanto à resistência adesiva. Retenção química e jateamento apresentaram resultados estatisticamente semelhantes (p=0,139), e ambos apresentaram menores valores de retenção que os demais tratamentos (p<0,05). Em conclusão, a retenção mecânica, associada ou não a tratamento químico, apresentou melhores resultados de resistência adesiva do compósito indireto ao Ti cp.(FAPESP) São Paulo Research Foundatio

Quality of life in patients with stable coronary artery disease submitted to percutaneous, surgical, and medical therapies : a cohort study

Background: Clinical, surgical, and percutaneous strategies similarly prevent major cardiovascular events in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). The possibility that these strategies have differential effects on healthrelated quality of life (HRQoL) has been debated, particularly in patients treated outside clinical trials. Methods: We assigned 454 patients diagnosed with CAD during an elective diagnostic coronary angiography to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or optimal medical treatment (OMT), and followed them for an average of 5.2 ± 1.5 years. HRQoL was assessed using a validated Brazilian version of the 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey questionnaire. The association between therapeutic strategies and quality of life scores was tested using variance analysis and adjusted for confounders in a general linear model. Results: There were no differences in the mental component summary scores in the follow-up evaluation by therapeutic strategies: 51.4, 53.7, and 52.3 for OMT, PCI, and CABG, respectively. Physical component summary scores were higher in the PCI group than the CABG and OMT groups (46.4 vs. 42.9 and 43.8, respectively); however, these differences were no longer different after adjustment for confounding variables. Conclusion: In a long-term follow-up of patients with stable CAD, HRQoL did not differ in patients treated by medical, percutaneous, or surgical treatments

Intake analysis of hematopoietic micronutrients and anemia : prevalence in Brazilian female older-adults

Objetivos: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a ingestão de micronutrientes relacionados à hematopoiese e determinar a prevalência de anemia em pacientes do sexo feminino com idade superior a 60 anos residentes na periferia do Distrito Federal. Material e Métodos: Para cada paciente, foi determinada a média da ingestão diária de ferro, vitamina B12 e ácido fólico por meio da análise dietética dos registros alimentares estimados de três dias alternados, seguida pela determinação das dosagens séricas de cobalamina livre e homocisteína. O diagnóstico de anemia foi estabelecido pela dosagem de hemoglobina total. Resultados: Encontrou-se uma prevalência de anemia em 9,8% das idosas estudadas. Não foi observada diferença significativa no consumo de ferro e ácido fólico entre pacientes anêmicas e não-anêmicas. No entanto, o consumo médio de vitamina B12 entre as pacientes não-anêmicas mostrou-se 2,6 vezes superior à ingestão média observada no grupo anêmico (p < 0,05). Dosagens séricas de cobalamina e homocisteína mostraram-se aumentadas entre portadoras de anemia. Conclusões: Nossos dados sugerem que a deficiência na ingestão de vitamina B12 constitui fator predisponente ao desenvolvimento de anemia em pacientes idosos. ____________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACTAim: This study aimed to estimate the average intake of hematopoiesis related micro-nutrients and to assess the prevalence of anemia in elder female subjects aged 60 years or older residing in the outskirts of the Brazilian Federal District. Material and Methods: Mean daily consumption of iron, folic acid and vitamin B12 were determined for each patient by means of dietary analysis of food registries, followed by evaluation of free serum cobalamin and homocysteine. Anemia diagnosis was established by quantification of total hemoglobin. Results: Prevalence was found to assault 9.8% of elderly studied. No significant difference has been observed in folic acid and iron intakes between anemic and non-anemic subjects. On the other hand, mean consumption of vitamin B12 was 2.6 times higher among anemic patients (p < 0.05). Accordingly, serum cobalamin and homocysteine dosages have shown marked increase in the anemic group. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that deficiency in vitamin B12 intake constitutes a predisposing factor to the onset of anemia in the elderly

Effectiveness of clinical, surgical and percutaneous treatment to prevent cardiovascular events in patients referred for elective coronary angiography: an observational study

Purpose: To ascertain the most appropriate treatment for chronic, stable, coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients submitted to elective coronary angiography. Patients and Methods: A total of 814 patients included in the prospective cohort study were referred for elective coronary angiography and were followed up on average for 6±1.9 years. Main outcomes were all-cause death, cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke and late revascularization and their combinations as major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE): MACCE-1 included cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI, and stroke; MACCE-2 was MACCE-1 plus late revascularization. Survival curves and adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were used to explore the association between the type of treatment and outcomes. Results: All-cause death was lower in participants submitted to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (0.41, 0.16–1.03, P=0.057) compared to medical treatment (MT). Coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) had an overall trend for poorer outcomes: cardiovascular death 2.53 (0.42–15.10), combined cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI, and stroke 2.15 (0.73–6.31) and these events plus late revascularization (2.17, 0.86–5.49). The corresponding numbers for PCI were 0.27 (0.05–1.43) for cardiovascular death, 0.77 (0.32–1.84) for combined cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI, and stroke and 2.35 (1.16–4.77) with the addition of late revascularization. These trends were not influenced by baseline blood pressure, left ventricular ejection fraction and previous MI. Patients with diabetes mellitus had a significantly higher risk of recurrent revascularization when submitted to PCI than CABG. Conclusion: Patients with confirmed CAD in elective coronary angiography do not have a better prognosis when submitted to CABG comparatively to medical treatment. Patients treated with PCI had a trend for the lower incidence of combined cardiovascular events, at the expense of additional revascularization procedures. Patients without significant CAD had a similar prognosis than CAD patients treated with medical therapy

Protocol for a scoping review of skin self-care of people with spinal cord injury

In recent years, increasing methodological references have been used in scientific research; these are points of support in the search for evidence, formulation and elaboration of instruments, scales, guideline and protocols. However, significant variability currently exists in scoping review conduct and reporting, thus limiting the potential of the methodology to advance research and practice about skin self-care of people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Our objective was to perform a scoping review protocol within the health rehabilitation context of people with SCI, focusing on skin self-care.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Secondary pharmacological prevention of coronary artery disease among patients submitted to clinical management, percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary artery bypass graft surgery

Fundamento: A prevenção secundária é recomendada a pacientes com evidência de doença arterial coronariana (DAC) independentemente da indicação de tratamento por cirurgia de bypass da artéria coronária (CABG) ou intervenção coronária percutânea (ICP). Objetivos: Este estudo avaliou se o tratamento clínico, a ICP ou o CABG teve influência na adesão à prevenção secundária farmacológica em pacientes com DAC estável. Métodos: Esta coorte incluiu pacientes com idade ≥40 anos com DAC estável confirmada por angiografia coronária estável. A decisão por tratamento clínico isolado, ou combinado com ICP ou CABG foi feita por médicos assistentes. A adesão às drogas prescritas recomendadas pelas diretrizes de prevenção secundária (tratamento farmacológico ótimo), incluindo agentes antiplaquetários, drogas hipolipemianetes, betabloqueadores, e bloqueadores do sistema angiotensina aldosterona, foi avaliada no acompanhamento. Diferenças com valores de p < 0,05 foram consideradas estatisticamente significativas. Resultados: Dos 928 pacientes incluídos inicialmente, 415 apresentaram DAC leve e 66 apresentaram DAC leve a moderada. O período médio de seguimento foi 5,2 ± 1,5 anos. Os pacientes submetidos ao CABG apresentaram maior probabilidade de receberem tratamento farmacológico ótimo que aqueles submetidos à ICP ou tratamento clínico (63,5% versus 39,1% versus 45,7% respectivamente, p=0,003). Fatores basais independentemente associados com maior probabilidade de prescrição de tratamento ótimo foram CABG [39% maior (6% - 83%, p=0,017)] em comparação a outros tratamentos e diabetes [25% maior (1% - 56%), p=0,042] em comparação à ausência de diabetes. Conclusões: Pacientes com DAC submetidos ao CABG são mais frequentemente tratados com prevenção secundária farmacológica ótima que pacientes tratados com ICP ou exclusivamente com tratamento clínico.Background: Secondary prevention is recommended for patients with evidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) regardless of the indication for treatment by coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Objectives: This study evaluated whether clinical treatment, PCI or CABG had an influence on adherence to the pharmacological secondary prevention in patients with stable CAD. Methods: This cohort included patients aged ≥40 years with stable CAD confirmed by coronary angiography. The decision for medical treatment alone, or additionally with PCI or CABG, was made by the attending physicians. Adherence to the prescribed drugs recommended by the guidelines for secondary prevention (optimal pharmacological treatment), including antiplatelet agents, lipid-lowering drugs, beta-blockers, and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers, was assessed at follow-up. Differences were considered significant for p values <0.05. Results: From 928 patients enrolled at baseline, 415 had mild CAD and 66 moderate to severe CAD. The average followup was 5.2 ± 1.5 years. Patients submitted to CABG were more likely to receive the optimal pharmacological treatment than those submitted to PCI or treated clinically (63.5% versus 39.1% versus 45.7% respectively, p=0.003). Baseline factors independently associated with greater probability of having a prescription of optimal treatment at follow-up were CABG [39% higher (6% - 83%, p=0.017) and diabetes [25% higher (1% - 56%), p=0.042] than their counterparts treated by other methods and participants without diabetes, respectively. Conclusions: Patients with CAD submitted to CABG are more commonly treated with optimal pharmacological secondary prevention than patients treated by PCI or exclusively with medical therapy

Professor em início de carreira: relato de conflitos vivenciados

Este trabalho evidencia alguns aspectos que envolvem os primeiros anos dos professores na sala de aula e alguns conflitos vividos por eles. Usamos entrevistas gravadas com professores cujo desempenho na sala de aula n&atilde;o excede tr&ecirc;s anos para identificar os conflitos vividos e que podem ter interferido na forma&ccedil;&atilde;o dos mesmos. N&oacute;s consideramos como conflito aquelas situa&ccedil;&otilde;es que os professores n&atilde;o esperavam encontrar ou aquelas que estavam em contradi&ccedil;&atilde;o com suas pr&oacute;prias cren&ccedil;as e expectativas do que era ser professor. Identificamos v&aacute;rias situa&ccedil;&otilde;es de conflito e percebemos, com esta pesquisa, que o mundo de trabalho &eacute; um espa&ccedil;o importante de forma&ccedil;&atilde;o e de subjetiva&ccedil;&atilde;o e um tempo/espa&ccedil;o em que sentimentos de solid&atilde;o e de isolamento est&atilde;o presentes
