Avaliação da qualidade de vida dos pacientes com doenças otológicas : versão brasileira do Cambridge Otology Quality of Life Questionnaire

Dissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências da Saúde, 2017.Nos últimos anos, houve um crescente reconhecimento de que os resultados das intervenções médicas precisam ser avaliados por medidas quantitativas do impacto da intervenção sobre a qualidade de vida (QV). Muitos estudos têm investigado a qualidade de vida dos pacientes com determinadas doenças, além do nível de satisfação do paciente em relação ao tratamento recebido. Não existia nenhum questionário para avaliar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes com doenças otológicas, tanto na língua portuguesa quanto na estrangeira. Diante dessa situação, um grupo da Universidade de Cambridge desenvolveu o “Cambridge Otology Quality of Life Questionnaire” (COQoL) com o objetivo de avaliar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes que apresentam alguma doença otológica. Objetivo: Traduzir e adaptar o questionário COQoL para a versão brasileira e aplicá-lo em pacientes atendidos nos ambulatórios de Otologia do Hospital Universitário de Brasília (HUB), Instituto Brasiliense de Otorrinolaringologia (IBORL) e Núcleo de excelência em Otorrinolaringologia (NEO) que serão submetidos à cirurgia e comparar a qualidade de vida no pré e pós operatório. Método: Trata-se de estudo metodológico de adaptação transcultural que inclui cinco etapas: tradução inicial, síntese da tradução inicial, retradução, avaliação por um comitê de especialistas e testagem da versão préfinal. Resultados: Através da adaptação transcultural foi realizada tradução e adaptação do COQoL para a versão brasileira, visando as correções dos termos técnicos utilizados, de acordo com as equivalências semântica, idiomática, conceitual e experimental. Conclusão: foi realizada a tradução e adaptação transcultural do COQoL seguindo as regras internacionalmente conhecidas. Foi avaliada a QV dos pacientes com doenças otológicas em um número restrito de pacientes, verificou-se que não houve significância estatística em relação a QV após o procedimento cirúrgico.There has been increasing recognition that the outcomes of medical interventions need to be assessed by quantitative measures of the impact of intervention on quality of life (QL). Many studies have investigated the quality of life of patients with certain diseases, in addition to the level of patient satisfaction with the treatment received. There was no questionnaire to evaluate the quality of life of patients with otological diseases, both Portuguese and foreign. In view of this situation, a group from the University of Cambridge developed the Cambridge Otology Quality of Life Questionnaire (COQoL) in order to evaluate the quality of life of patients with otologic disease. Objective: To translate and adapt the COQoL questionnaire to the Brazilian version and to apply it to patients attending Otology outpatient clinics at the University Hospital of Brasília (HUB), Brazilian Otorhinolaryngology Institute (IBORL) and Nucleus of excellence in Otorhinolaryngology (NEO), who will undergo surgery and to compare the quality of life in the pre and postoperative periods. Method: This is a cross-cultural adaptation methodological study that includes five steps: initial translation, synthesis of the initial translation, retranslation, evaluation by a committee of experts and testing of the pre-final version. Results: Through cross-cultural adaptation, it was made the translation and adaptation of the COQoL to the Brazilian version, aiming at corrections of the technical terms used, according to the semantic, idiomatic, conceptual and experimental equivalences. Conclusion: Transcultural translation and adaptation of COQoL was carried out following the internationally known rules. The QL of patients with otological diseases was evaluated in a restricted number of patients, it was verified that there was no statistical significance regarding QL after the surgical procedure

Le traitement des locutions dans quatre manuels du portugais brésilien langue étrangère

Cette recherche porte sur le traitement des locutions, communément appelées expressions idiomatiques, dans des manuels du portugais brésilien langue étrangère (PBLE). Les écrits scientifiques dans le domaine de l'acquisition des locutions en langues secondes signalent des faiblesses dans la façon dont les manuels de la L2 présentent les locutions, considérées par professeurs et étudiants comme des items du vocabulaire complexes et difficiles à maîtriser. Cette recherche vise à décrire et à comparer le traitement des locutions dans quatre manuels de PBLE, dans le but d'indiquer celui ou ceux qui est (sont) plus en conformité avec les recommandations issues des recherches scientifiques, notamment les contributions de l'approche de la métaphore conceptuelle, l'approche d'élaboration étymologique et l'approche de traduction comparaison. Une enquête a été menée auprès des écoles de langues à Montréal dans le but de sélectionner les manuels utilisés dans cette étude. Quatre manuels ont été retenus et une grille a été bâtie pour décrire et comparer objectivement le traitement des locutions dans les ouvrages. Les manuels ont été notés pour l'ensemble des critères utilisés dans la grille d'analyse (identification, définition, contexte, illustration et exercice). Les résultats confirment que les manuels du PBLE abordent les locutions de façon lacunaire : les scores de la moitié des manuels ont à peine dépassé 50% et l'autre moitié s'est rendue aux alentours des 20% pour l'ensemble des critères; en outre, les manuels n'ont pas mis en œuvre les contributions des approches mentionnées ci-haut. L'analyse détaillée des manuels a montré que les locutions sont souvent mélangées à d'autres expressions de la langue, surtout aux collocations, ce qui semble susciter encore la problématique autour de la définition même du terme « locution ».\ud ______________________________________________________________________________ \ud MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : expression idiomatique, manuels, portugais brésilien, langue seconde, acquisition du vocabulair

Effects of funding on the collaboration and citation in environmental papers and the relationship with nation’s science and technology budgets

Dados de entrada (input), saída (output), impacto e processos são indicadores centrais da produção em Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação. O input está associado aos investimentos realizados em ciência e tecnologia, podendo variar entre diferentes países e áreas científicas. Assim, o input pode influenciar outros indicadores de impacto. Aqui, avaliamos seu o efeito (número de financiamentos) sobre o processo de colaboração e o número de citações (output) da pesquisa ecológica. Além disso, detalhamos o efeito do número de financiamentos sobre a colaboração e o número de citações por país (baseado na nacionalidade dos autores). Verificamos que a maioria dos artigos publicados tinha algum grau de suporte financeiro, e que a produção de artigos com financiamento aumentou ao longo dos anos. O número de financiamentos teve efeito positivo na colaboração e nas citações, porém observamos que: nos países com maior investimento em ciência e tecnologia, o número de financiamentos impacta positivamente e diretamente a colaboração (número de autores); e nos países com menor investimento em ciência e tecnologia, o número de financiamentos impacta positivamente e diretamente as citações. Nossos resultados demonstram que os indicadores de impacto avaliados têm estrutura integrada e os efeitos em um nível podem afetar outros níveis. Entretanto, o impacto do número de fomentos nos indicadores informétricos pode variar entre os países, portanto esse resultado é importante para o desenvolvimento de políticas nacionais e para futuros estudos informétricos.Input, output, impact, and processes are central indicators of the science, technology, and innovation production. The input is usually associated to investments made in science and technology, and it varies among different countries and scientific fields. Thus, the input can influence other impact indicators. Here, we evaluated the effect of the input data (i.e., number of funding) on process (i.e., collaboration) and output (i.e., number of citation) indicators of ecological research. Moreover, we detailed the effect of the number of funding on the collaboration and number of citations by each country (based on the nationality of authors). We found that most of published papers had some degrees of financial support, and that the production of papers with funding increased over the years. Funding had a positive effect on the collaboration and citation of papers; however, we observed that: in countries with higher investments in Science and Technology, the number of funding impacts positively and directly on the number of authors (collaboration) and in countries with low levels of investments in Science and Technology, the number of funding impacts positively and directly on the number of citations. Our models presented a low predictive power, but similar to other informetric studies. Our results indicated that impact indicators evaluated have an integrated structure, and the effects at one level can affect other levels. Nonetheless, the impact of the number of funding on informetric data can vary among countries; therefore, these results are important to the development of national policies and future informetric studies

The Habitat Affects the Ecological Interactions between Azteca Forel (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and Cecropia Loefl. (Urticaceae Juss.)

In order to understand the effects of human impacts on structure and functioning of tropical forests, we should consider studies on animal-plant interactions such as antplant mutualistic interactions.We investigated the mutualistic interactions between ants (Azteca genera) and Cecropia plants in habitats of secondary forest and pasture used as cattle fields. We tested for the following hyphothesis: (i) Cecropia from pasture are more susceptible to foliar herbivory than the Cecropia from the forest, and (ii) the defense promoted by ants of Azteca genus is less efficient in the pasture when compared to the forested areas. We selected four areas inserted in Atlantic rain forest domain surrounded by secondary forest and by cattle pastures. The herbivory was more intense in the pasture than in the secondary forest. The presence of Azteca species diminished foliar herbivory only in the forested areas, where we observed a significant increase in herbivory after the removal of A. alfari colony. We argue that the greater herbivory in pasture occurs probably due the lack of other plant resource, being Cecropia paschystachya Trécul and C. glaziovii Snethl., isolated in a “sea of grass” without connection with other tree vegetation, opposite scenario observed in forested habitats. The defense of Azteca only in the secondary forest, leading us to suppose that: 1) not even the your aggressive behavior is able to reduce the intense herbivory in the pasture; 2) the your behavioral pattern in forest is not the same in deforested environments and / or 3) mutualism may be undergoing changes due to abiotic effects on pasture

From a total of 22 papers about life cycle, six utilize the organizational life cycle as theoretical basis and present contributions to the research in managerial accounting. It is concluded that the management accounting system undergoes changes as internal and external company configuration factors modify along the different organizational life stages. It was evidenced a concentration of works about life cycle theories in universities in Canada. Mainly due to the high number of citations of the work developed by Danny Miller (École des Hautes Etudes Commerciales) and Peter Friesen (Faculty of Management, MacGill University)

Investigations in an external-loop airlift photobioreactor with annular light chambers and swirling flow

Photosynthetic microorganisms could serve as valuable compounds, but also for environmental applications. Their production under controlled conditions implies to design specific reactors, named photobioreactors, in which light supply is the main constraint. This paper was devoted to an original external-loop airlift photobioreactor (PBR) with annular light chambers in which a swirling motion was induced. The aim was to characterize this novel geometrical configuration in terms of gas–liquid hydrodynamics, and to test its potentiality for algal cultures. This PBR consisted of two identical columns connected by flanges defining tangential inlets, each column being made of two transparent concentric tubes (6 L in liquid volume, 50 m−1 in specific illuminated area). Firstly, the global flow characteristics (circulation and mixing times) were determined by a tracer method and modelled by an axial dispersed plug flow with complete recirculation (Péclet number). By means of a double optical probe, both local and global time-averaged parameters of the gas phase were measured, namely void fraction, bubble velocity, frequency and size. The gas–liquid mass transfer were also characterized, in tap water and in culture medium, by measuring overall volumetric mass transfer coefficients. In a second time, cultures of the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were run in batch mode. The variations of biomass concentration and pigment content with time from inoculation were successfully obtained. All these findings highlighted: (i) some significant differences in terms of gas–liquid hydrodynamics between the present PBR and the usual airlift systems, (ii) the interest of this configuration for algal cultures, even if complementary studies and technological improvements are still required for definitively validating its scale-up

Immobilization of a Commercial Lipase from Penicillium camembertii (Lipase G) by Different Strategies

The objective of this work was to select the most suitable procedure to immobilize lipase from Penicillium camembertii (Lipase G). Different techniques and supports were evaluated, including physical adsorption on hydrophobic supports octyl-agarose, poly(hydroxybutyrate) and Amberlite resin XAD-4; ionic adsorption on the anionic exchange resin MANAE-agarose and covalent attachment on glyoxyl-agarose, MANAE-agarose cross-linked with glutaraldehyde, MANAE-agarose-glutaraldehyde, and epoxy-silica-polyvinyl alcohol composite. Among the tested protocols, the highest hydrolytic activity (128.2 ± 8.10 IU·g−1 of support) was achieved when the lipase was immobilized on epoxy-SiO2-PVA using hexane as coupling medium. Lipase immobilized by ionic adsorption on MANAE-agarose also gave satisfactory result, attaining 55.6 ± 2.60 IU·g−1 of support. In this procedure, the maximum loading of immobilized enzyme was 9.3 mg·g−1 of gel, and the highest activity (68.8 ± 2.70 IU·g−1 of support) was obtained when 20 mg of protein·g−1 was offered. Immobilization carried out in aqueous medium by physical adsorption on hydrophobic supports and covalent attachment on MANAE-agarose-glutaraldehyde and glyoxyl-agarose was shown to be unfeasible for Lipase G. Thermal stability tests revealed that the immobilized derivative on epoxy-SiO2-PVA composite using hexane as coupling medium had a slight higher thermal stability than the free lipase
