Criminal Procedure Information System

No âmbito da modernização administrativa de Cabo Verde, iniciou-se, em 2009, a informatização das Secretarias e do Processo Penal dos tribunais deste país. Este projeto foi uma iniciativa do Ministério de Justiça em parceria com as Universidades de Cabo Verde e Aveiro (Portugal), tendo como resultado um sistema informático designado “Sistema de Informação do Processo Penal” (SIPP). Esta ação foi enquadrada pela missão das Universidades, que, para além do ensino, incluem ainda a investigação e desenvolvimento, a transferência do conhecimento para a sociedade e, no caso da UA, a cooperação para o desenvolvimento.The computerisation of secretariats and criminal courts began in 2009 as part of the administrative modernisation of Cape Verde. This project was a Ministry of Justice initiative in partnership with the Universities of Cape Verde and Aveiro (Portugal). Its result was a computer system called the Criminal Procedure Information System (SIPP). The project fitted into the mission of universities, which includes not only teaching, but also research and development, the transfer of knowledge and, in the case of the University of Aveiro, development aid

O piso salarial como insumo da valorização docente nos governos de FHC e Lula: da política de fundos à Lei do Piso

Este estudo tem como objetivos: analisar como e com quais intencionalidades as políticas de valorização docente foram efetivadas nos governos Fernando Henrique Cardoso e Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, observando as políticas de Fundos - Fundo de Manutenção e Desenvolvimento do Ensino Fundamental e de Valorização do Magistério (Fundef) e do Fundo de Manutenção e Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica e de Valorização dos Profissionais da Educação (Fundeb) –; e, analisar o espaço ocupado pelo Piso Salarial Profissional Nacional (PSPN) nas agendas dos governos citados, verificando se as políticas implementadas por estes, corroboraram para a melhoria salarial dos professores brasileiros. Os resultados a que chega este artigo evidenciam que o piso salarial nacional como insumo de valorização docente teve tratamento diferenciado nas agendas dos governos de FHC e Lula: o Fundef, embora tenha provocado melhoria salarial dos educadores, a ausência de uma referência nacional para o início de carreira fez com que este Fundo não atingisse o seu objetivo de valorizar o magistério da educação básica pública no Brasil; e, o Fundeb, por sua vez, além de manter o mínimo de 60% dos recursos para pagamento dos profissionais do magistério, determinou a implantação de Plano de Cargos, Carreira e Remuneração para o magistério e instituiu o prazo de um ano para criação do Piso Salarial em lei específica, o que culminou na Lei n.º11.738/2008

Ambiente virtual para treino de competências de comunicação na área da saúde : o caso do atendimento em farmácia para automedicação

Este artigo descreve um protótipo de Realidade Virtual destinado ao treino de competências técnicas e de comunicação dos estudantes de Ciências Farmacêuticas. Numa situação simulada, um humano virtual desempenha o papel de um paciente/doente que requer o apoio de um profissional numa farmácia, comunicando com este através de mensagens de texto. O estudante comunica com este personagem virtual escolhendo opções na interface da aplicação. Esta interface contém para cada situação: i) um conjunto de questões a colocar ao paciente, destinadas a esclarecer a sua situação de saúde, ou em alternativa, ii) um conjunto de respostas ou recomendações para os problemas dos pacientes, em última análise o medicamento e a posologia recomendados. Estes conjuntos contêm opções corretas e incorretas, tendo o estudante o propósito de alcançar o melhor desempenho possível, escolhendo sempre as corretas. A simulação decorre num cenário pré-gravado de uma farmácia real, no qual o paciente virtual está inserido. Este personagem virtual é capaz de exibir expressões faciais e tem movimentos naturais do corpo obtidos recorrendo à técnica de captura de movimentos.This paper describes a Virtual Reality prototype for technical and communication skills training of Pharmaceutical Sciences students. In a simulated situation, a virtual human plays the role of a patient requiring the assistance of a professional in a pharmacy, communicating via textual messages. The student communicates with this virtual character by choosing options in the interface of the application. This interface contains for each Revista de Ciências da Computação, 2014, nº9 46 situation: i) a set of questions to pose to the patient to clarify his health condition, or alternatively, ii) a set of answers or recommendations to the patients' problem. These sets contain right and wrong options and the goal of the student is to attain the best performance by choosing always the right options. The simulation takes place in a pre-recorded scenario of a real pharmacy where the virtual patient was inserted. This virtual character is capable of exhibiting facial expressions and has natural body movements obtained by motion capture

In vitro analysis of the internal anatomy of lower incisors by cone beam computerized tomography

For the success of endodontic treatment, the knowledge of the internal anatomy becomes essential. Objective: to analyze the prevalence of lower incisor canals in a clinical and tomographic analysis. Material and methods: 148 lower incisors were used, measured, and evaluated through periapical radiograph and computed tomography. Results: in relation to the number of canals, 107 teeth(72.3%) presented a single canal, while 41 teeth (27.7%) presented two canals. Of the 41 teeth presenting 2 canals, 3 teeth presented independent canals (2.03%) and 38 teeth had 2 canals that joined at some point of the canal path (25.67%). Conclusion: The prevalence of two canals in the lower permanent human incisors was 27.7%; of these, 2.03% were independent. The main point of root canal union was at the apical third (20.94%). The most commonly found root canal shape was round in cervical third, flattened in middle third, and round in third apical.For the success of endodontic treatment, the knowledge of the internal anatomy becomes essential.

Azadirachta indica A. Juss (neem) phenolic extract inhibits human B-lymphoblastoid cells growth via cell cycle arrest, apoptosis induction, and DNA damage

Aim: As far as is known, the pharmaceutical effects of neem on human B-lymphoblastoid (TK6) cells have not been studied until now. Hence, the present study aimed to obtain neem phenolic extracts for inhibits the proliferation of TK6 cells and explore some possible underlying mechanisms involved in these effects. Methods: Hexane extract (HE) was obtained in the first step. After that, the residual hexane was removed from the neem. The dried neem sample was used in a new extraction for obtaining the ethyl acetate extract (EAE). Total phenolic compounds (TPC) and total flavonoid contents (TFC) were determined by spectrophotometric methods. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) tests were used to evaluate the cytotoxicity in TK6 cells. The stop at G0/G1 cell cycle and inducing apoptosis in the TK6 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. For deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage evaluation, the alkaline comet test was used. Results: The higher TFC (65.50 mg/g of extract ± 1.17 mg/g of extract) and TPC (52.08 mg of extract ± 0.88 mg of extract) were obtained in EAE compared to HE that was obtained TFC of 14.61 mg/g of extract ± 0.60 mg/g of extract and TPC of 3.20 mg/g of extract ± 1.20 mg/g of extract. EAE was more significantly cytotoxic to TK6 cells than HE. The apoptosis induction was higher after exposure to 15.0 µg/mL of EAE (11.29%) in comparison to 15.0 µg/mL of HE (2.52%). The G0/G1 phase increased from 72% negative control (NC) to 83% after treatment with neem extracts (15 µg/mL). Neem extracts were also able to cause DNA strand breaks in TK6 cells. Conclusions: The extraction residue from neem leaf after hexane extraction is a source important of cytotoxic and genotoxic molecules against TK6 cells, the results also can suggest that the toxic effects in TK6 cells can be provided most likely due to the presence of high content of TPC from neem extracts.The CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel), Program Sandwich Abroad (Process: PDSE 99999.003409/15-5) provided funding for Klebson Silva Santos’ financial support and scholarship in Portugal.
