PROCEDIMENTOS DE GESTÃO UNIVERSITÁRIA NA RESOLUÇÃO DE CASOS DE DESVIO DE FUNÇÃO IDENTIFICADOS NA UFSC

O presente estudo tem por objetivo identificar, classificar e analisar os casos de desvio de função que ocorrem com os servidores pertencentes ao Plano de Carreira dos Cargos Técnico-Administrativos em Educação (PCCTAE) da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, com o intuito de sugerir procedimentos para a resolução deste problema. A pesquisa foi realizada a partir da análise das atividades de 960 servidores, consultando os relatórios obtidos por meio do Sistema Gestor de Avaliação de Desempenho. A análise considerou a descrição das atividades exercidas pelos servidores da UFSC no ano de 2018. Os resultados mostram que, dentre os casos analisados, 886 foram considerados regulares e 74 irregulares. Das diferentes situações encontradas foram elencadas cinco categorias: sobrecarga, subutilização, acúmulo, chefia e readaptação. Tal categorização foi estabelecida com o objetivo de facilitar a proposição de soluções, considerando a similaridade dos casos identificados. Por fim, foram propostas medidas para auxiliar na resolução dos casos encontrados e concluiu-se que há a necessidade de realizar o planejamento e o dimensionamento das atividades para a apropriada alocação dos servidores nos diferentes postos de trabalho da instituição, considerando os cargos ocupados

Mandibular symphysis stabilization after traumatic disjunction in a crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous)

Background: Fractures and dislocations are common orthopedic conditions arising from traumas from anthropic interaction on wild species, such as those caused by road trampling, being the mandibular separation with great frequency of occurrence in dogs and cats. The procedures for mandibular symphysis stabilization are described as of low complexity in the literature, however no reports of this procedure in wild canids were found. The purpose of this study is to report a surgical procedure of mandibular symphysis disjunction stabilization in an individual of the species Cerdocyon thous (crab-eating fox) through the technique of cerclage fixation using stainless steel wire. Case: An adult male individual of the free-living specie weighing 5.6 kg was referred to veterinary care after having been run-over. General physical examination showed abrasions in the ventral region of the jaw, discreet bleeding in the oral cavity, and mandibular instability. Subsequently, the patient underwent radiographic examination that revealed mandibular disjunction. The patient was therefore referred to the surgical unit for stabilization. During surgical anesthesia, two 12-gauge hypodermic needles (40x12 mm) were inserted percutaneously through the ventral region of the mandible, protruding into the oral cavity immediately caudal to the canine teeth. Next, both extremities of a 0.5 mm stainless steel wire were introduced into the interior of the needles and, when both ends extruded through the other end of the needles, the latter were removed, leaving only the steel wire uniting both rostral rami of the mandible Using a twisting apparatus, the steel wire was twisted until the disjunction was completely stabilized and mandibular occlusion was deemed appropriate. Lastly, the surplus steel wire was sectioned, leaving a small segment that remained exposed to surface in the ventral region of the mandible. During the patient’s recovery period no complications or recurrence were observed, signifying a successful stabilization procedure by the chosen technique. Thirty-four days postoperatively, the metallic implant was removed under radiographic guidance, and the patient discharged after confirming adequate oral occlusion. After recuperation, the animal was referred to the responsible environmental agencies to be released back into the wild, 55 days postoperatively. Discussion: Among the several techniques described for mandibular symphysis stabilization, success was obtained in this case using the technique of cerclage fixation using stainless steel wire. The procedure in question was chosen for its easy implantation, low cost, and short time of permanence of the implant, which led to a reduction in the patient’s stay in captivity, favoring his rehabilitation and aiming at an early return of the individual to its habitat There is no consensus of mean healing time of the mandibular symphysis or the period the implant should stay in situ, with reported periods varying from three to four weeks to six to eight weeks. Several factors may influence the formation of the bone callus, including proper stabilization of the hemimandible, occlusal alignment, preservation of hard and soft tissues, and preservation of the dentition, which can lead to quicker return of mandibular function. During the hospitalization period, no surgical complications were observed on periodic clinical evaluations. Thus, we conclude that this stabilization of mandibular symphysis in an individual of the species Cerdocyon thous with cerclage using steel wire, with adequate preoperative and postoperative management, was successful in the treatment of traumatic disjunction

Use of probiotic strains to produce beers by axenic or semi-separated co-culture system

This study evaluated the production of beers to serve as matrices for probiotic delivery and designed suitable fermentation systems. Two types of beers (wheat and sour) were produced by fermentation in an axenic (Saccharomyces cerevisiae var boulardii 17) or semi-separated co-culture system (Lacticaseibacillus paracasei DTA-81 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae S-04). Firstly, trial was carried out to investigate microbial interactions between L. paracasei DTA-81 and Saccharomyces (n = 4) and to determine the best cultivation system to produce sour beer. S. boulardii17 potential to ferment the beer wort was similar to those observed for other brewer yeasts, enabling potentially probiotic wheat beer production. L. paracaseiDTA-81 was able to ferment the beer wort to produce potentially probiotic sour beer. However, the cultivation system should be carefully designed to protect the lacticaseibacilli from stressful metabolites produced during yeast fermentation, especially alcohol. Thus, data obtained herein showed that the co-culture system should be avoided for potentially probiotic sour beer production, in order to prevent competitive interaction between lacticaseibacilli and yeast. Otherwise, the semi-separated co-culture system resulted in a symbiotic commensal interaction, without interfering on L. paracasei DTA-81 growth and survivability. Therefore, wheat and sour beers can be highlighted as useful matrices to deliver probiotic strains.The authors are grateful to the Foundation for Scienceand Technology (FCT, Portugal) for financial support bynational funds FCT/MCTES to CIMO (UIDB/00690/2020) andthe Brazilian National Council for Scientific and TechnologicalDevelopment (CNPq).info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Vegetation change in a lichen-rich inland drift sand area in the Netherlands

In this paper we compare the cryptogam vegetation in the Spergulo-Corynephoretum and Genisto-Callunetum in an inland drift-sand area in three periods (1968, 1993 and 2004). In the early period the lichen diversity in these plant communities appeared to be very high. The aspect was formed by Corynephorus canescens and Polytrichum piliferum. The highest numbers of lichen species are found in the S.-C. cladonietosum, irrespective of the period. In all years, variants of this subassociation are found, with many lichen species. In time pH decreases and organic matter, % total N and % total P increase by humus production. Cover sands having relatively high content of cations form a suitable substrate for lichens. Since the 1970s the neophytic moss Campylopus introflexus, a species adapted to acidic, nutrient-poor sand, has invaded the sand dunes. These changes have been attributed to the high aerial deposition of N in this central part of the Netherlands. In the more recent periods the actual lichen diversity did not really diminish, but the cover of lichen-rich plant communities was clearly reduced when encroaching mosses outgrew the lichens in all succession stages. However, when C. introflexus is less vital because of ageing, desiccation or burial under wind-blown sand, common humicole, aero-hygrophytic and even pioneer lichen species may locally establish on or between the moss cushions. The former succession series starting with P. piliferum and ending with lichen-rich Calluna heath (1968) has been partly replaced by one including C. introflexus (1993 and 2004). Process management is necessary to keep the sand blowing and hereby reduce the colonization by C. introflexus. Habitat restoration by small-scale management consisting of cutting down self-sown trees and removing the top soil has positively influenced lichen diversity and needs to be continued
