Joaquim Nabuco e os abolicionistas britânicos: correspondência, 1880-1905

The relationship established between Joaquim Nabuco and the British and Foreign Anti-slavery Society (currently named Anti-Slavery International) is a little studied aspect of the struggle to abolish slavery in Brazil. The correspondence between Nabuco and Charles Harris Allen, Secretary of the Society, and other British abolitionists throughout the decade of the1880s and beyond reveals a partnership consciously sought by Nabuco with the aim of internationalizing the struggle.These letters provide a unique insight into the evolution of Nabuco's thinking on both slavery and abolition, the difficulties he faced, including the accusation of lack of patriotism, and the powerful support he found in London. At the same time they offer a running commentary on the slow and (at least until 1887-8) uncertain progress of the abolitionist cause in Brazil.Aspecto pouco estudado da luta contra a escravidão no Brasil é a relação estabelecida entre Joaquim Nabuco e a Sociedade Britânica e Estrangeira Antiescravidão, sediada em Londres. A correspondência entre Nabuco e Charles Harris Allen, secretário da Sociedade, e outros abolicionistas britânicos, ao longo da década de 1880 e posteriormente, revela uma parceria conscientemente buscada por Nabuco para levar a luta ao plano internacional. As cartas fornecem uma nítida visão das dificuldades encontradas por Nabuco no Brasil e da poderosa ajuda que encontrou em Londres. Uma de suas principais dificuldades foi a acusação a ele feita de falta de patriotismo a que ele respondeu afirmando a estreita relação que via entre pátria e civilização

Infecção hospitalar e a responsabilização civil nos tribunais brasileiros

A infecção hospitalar e notoriamente uma das principais problemáticas enfrentadas na atualidade pelas instituições prestadoras de serviço de saúde e pelos profissionais que nela atuam, fato este evidenciado pelo numero crescente de ações propostas na Justiça pelos pacientes ou usuários. Surge, a partir desse cenário, o fenômeno da responsabilidade civil nos casos de infecção hospitalar. As implicações legais desse fenômeno são diversas e envolvem questões relacionadas ao ambiente institucional e a conduta profissional. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a literatura a respeito do posicionamento dos tribunais brasileiros em relação à responsabilização civil nos casos de infecção hospitalar. São elencados os aspectos conceituais que definem essa síndrome infecciosa e os tipos de responsabilidade civil, as diretrizes jurídicas que orientam a condução da temática e as decisões dos tribunais brasileiros que versam sobre a responsabilidade civil nesses casos. Foi constatado que os julgados têm sido amparados pela distinção entre a responsabilização civil objetiva e a subjetiva, além de estarem conduzidos pelo entendimento da relação de prestação de serviço existente entre a instituição ou profissional de saúde e o usuário ou paciente.Nosocomial infection is notoriously one of the primary problems faced by healthcare institutions and by professionals who work for them. This fact is demonstrated by the growing number of legal actions proposed in the legal system by patients and users of the health care system. Because of this scenario, the phenomenon of civil liability has arisen in cases of nosocomial infection. The legal implications of this phenomenon are varied and involve issues of the institutional environment and of professional conduct. Thus, the current study seeks to analyze the literature on the decisions taken by Brazilian courts regarding civil liability in cases of nosocomial infection. Conceptual aspects that define this healthcare problem are listed, as are the types of civil liability, the legal directives that guide conduct regarding this topic, and the decisions of Brazilian courts that consider civil liability in these cases. It was determined that the courts have been supported by the distinction between objective civil liability and subjective civil liability; additionally, it was determined that these courts are guided by the understanding of the existing service relationship between the institution or health care professional and the patient or user of the health care system

Indicadores de Saúde Ambiental: uma abordagem através do Método Promethee II

The large number of environmental factors that can affect human health is indicative of the complexity of existing interactions and range of actions needed to improve the environmental determinants of health factors, which may be social, economic and environmental variables. Given this context, this study analyzes the status of performance in relation to environmental health of municipalities of the Region of Rio Taperoá, PB. The methodological procedures used in this work consisted of a desk and exploratory research, which made the use of multicritério analysis (PROMETHEE Method II). The overall picture obtained from municipalities confirms the weaknesses that each public entity presents for the management of environmental health and its alleged consequences, pointing out the supposed barriers related to social, economic and environmental issues that relate implicitly or explicitly with this type of management.O grande número de fatores ambientais que podem afetar a saúde humana é um indicativo da complexidade das interações existentes e da amplitude de ações necessárias para melhorar os fatores ambientais determinantes da saúde, podendo ser variáveis sociais, econômicas e ambientais. Em face desse contexto, o presente estudo objetiva analisar a situação da performance em relação à saúde ambiental dos municípios que integram a Região do Rio Taperoá - PB.Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados neste trabalho consistiram em uma pesquisa documental e exploratória, na qual se fez uso da análise multicrité¬rio (Método PROMETHEE II). O panorama geral obtido dos municípios evidencia as fragilidades que cada ente público apresenta em relação à gestão da saúde ambiental e seus supostos desdobramentos, apontando os supostos entraves relacionados às questões sociais, econômicas e ambientais que se relacionam implícita ou explicitamente com este tipo de gestão

ß-Cyclodextrin: Disperse yellow 211 complexes improve coloristic intensity of polyamide dyed knits

Dyes are complex molecules that can sometimes cause damage to the aquatic environment and harm human health. They are often not completely removed from effluent by the usual treatments; therefore, efforts have been made to increase their exhaustion from dyeing through chemical and physical processes. In this context, the use of ß-cyclodextrin (ß-CD) as dyeing auxiliary agent promotes the reduction of harmful products, also increasing the color intensity of the fabric. In this paper, ß-CD was used as a complexing agent to dye polyamide (PA) using the dye C.I. Disperse Yellow 211 (DY211) in order to improve dye exhaustion and color intensity using the ß-CD:DY211 complex. The conventional dyeing process and ß-CD:DY211 dyeing process by exhaustion were compared, and adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and the coloristic intensity were evaluated. The chemical shifts in the FTIR spectra and the thermal stability evidenced the formation of the ß-CD:DY211 complex. Regarding dyeing kinetics and isotherm, the pseudo-first-order model was the most appropriate to describe the process, while Nernst isotherm was the one that best represented the adsorption results. Categorically, the samples dyed with the ß-CD:DY211 complex obtained higher coloristic intensity in comparison with the conventional process. With this evidence, it is possible to conclude that cyclodextrin is a suitable replacement for environmentally harmful textile aides without adding further steps into the dyeing process or the need for additional equipmentPostprint (author's final draft
