Turismo em Cabo Verde:um estudo exploratório

Esta dissertação é um trabalho exploratório sobre o turismo em Cabo Verde. Partindo de um esquema teórico herdeiro fundamentalmente da Sociologia e Antropologia do turismo, começaremos por discutir alguns dos seus temas centrais para o nosso objecto de estudo. O turismo em Cabo Verde é assumido como o eixo central do desenvolvimento do país e a indústria turística cabo-verdiana encontra-se em franca expansão. Através de uma caracterização do fenómeno turístico em Cabo Verde, desde o seu florescimento até aos dias de hoje, pretendemos dar conta da evolução do sector e das recentes reconfigurações no panorama turístico cabo-verdiano que se espelham nos discursos narrativos e visuais presentes na promoção turística deste destino. Com base numa análise do discurso promocional, procuramos desvendar a forma como este arquipélago é descrito enquanto destino turístico, revelando a diversidade de elementos presentes na imagem turística contemporânea de Cabo Verde.This dissertation is an exploratory work about tourism in Cape Verde. By framing a theoretical scheme based on the Sociology and the Anthropology of tourism, we discuss some of its themes that are critical to our object of study. Tourism in Cape Verde is taken as the central axis of the country‟s development, and the Cape Verdean touristic industry is in large expansion. Through a characterization of the touristic phenomenon in Cape Verde, since its beginnings until today, we attempt to report its evolution and the recent reconfigurations in the Cape Verdean touristic scenery which are reflected in narrative and visual discourses that promote this destination. By means of an analysis of the promotional discourse, we seek to unravel how this archipelago is described as a touristic destination, revealing the diversity of elements that build the contemporary touristic image of Cape Verde

Satisfaction level of the quality of working life: a research with professors of the administration course of a private higher education institution in Juiz De Fora (Brazil) / Grau de satisfação da qualidade de vida no trabalho: uma pesquisa com os docentes do curso de administração de uma instituição de ensino superior particular de Juiz De Fora - MG

In recent decades the Quality of Working Life (QWL) has been valued in the organizational environment as in academic research, to understand the importance of workers in organizational development and growth. In this perspective, this study aims to determine the professors’ perception, in the administration course of a private Higher Education Institution (HEI), in relation to QWL. The bibliographical research and quantitative research methods are used in this study, especially the factor analysis that complements the data analysis. The research instrument includes 38 questions, which are developed based on eight categories for QWL established by Walton (1973). The tabulation of responses was performed with Microsoft Office Excel 2010® and IBM-SPSS software, immediately after the end of the questionnaires. The completion of the work indicates a broad satisfaction of teachers with regard to QVT, with the exception of the lack of indirect remuneration and the low incentive of the research organization for the qualification of teachers

Chronic kidney patients in hemodialysis: a study on the mode of psychosocial theory of Roy

Objective: To identify the adaptive problems of the psychosocial mode of the Roy model in chronic kidney patients on hemodialysis. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 178 patients from a dialysis center in the northeast of Brazil. Results: Three adaptive problems were identified, two of the self-concept: sexual dysfunction and low self-esteem; and one of the paper performance mode: paper failure. CONCLUSIONS: Adaptive flaws in the role, sexual dysfunction and low self-esteem refer to the presence of a conical disease and an invasive treatment, since these conditions directly affect the individual's lifestyle

Biochemical and microbiological analysis of the saliva of institutionalized elderly : with edentulism, use of dentures and presence of biofilm

To analyze biochemical and microbiological parameters of the saliva of institutionalized elders and to investigate the relation of these parameters with edentulism, use of dentures and presence of biofilm. A cross-sectional study carried was out in seven long-term institutions. Samples (n=161) of unstimulated saliva were collected for analysis of salivary flow, quantification of total proteins and identification of microorganisms. Oral examination was carried out to verify the number of missing teeth, the use of dentures and the presence of visible biofilm on the surface of teeth and dentures. Associations were performed using chi-square or Fisher?s exact test (?0.05). Associations were observed between the presence of dentures biofilm and the colonization of Streptococcus sp. (p=0.038) and Candida sp. (p=0.03). The absence of teeth and use of dentures do not influence the amount of total proteins and the microorganisms count in saliva. Denture biofilms are associated with the presence of Streptococcus sp. and Candida sp. in saliva of institutionalized elders

Metabolic syndrome in elderly from a northeastern brazilian city

Introduction: Population aging is a global reality. In Brazil, it is so expressive and in 2050 is estimated that the number of men and women over 80 years old can overcome the 20-24 years old population and also children under 14 years old. Metabolic syndrome is defined as a set of cardiovascular risk factors, detection and intervention in this age group may decrease cardiovascular mortality. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in elderly patients in a northeastern Brazilian city. Method: This is a quantitative, observational, cross-sectional and population-based study. The population consisted of non-institutionalized individuals aged> 60 years old, attended in the Family Health Strategy (FHS) and residents in Cajazeiras, PB, Brazil. For the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome we considered the criteria recommended by the International Federation of Diabetes. Results: We studied 351 elderly patients with 72.4+8.7 years old and 66.1% were female. The prevalence of MS was 69.8% and the most frequent criterion was increased waist circumference (82.6%), followed by high triglycerides (81.5%) and low HDL-cholesterol (80.6%). We observed a statistically significant positive association between MS and women [OR: 1.38 (95% CI: 1.18 to 1.63)] and housing in urban areas [OR: 1.23 (1.02 to 1.48)]. Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of MS among the elderly mainly in women and those living in urban areas

A combined approach for comparative exoproteome analysis of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis

Background: Bacterial exported proteins represent key components of the host-pathogen interplay. Hence, we sought to implement a combined approach for characterizing the entire exoproteome of the pathogenic bacterium Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, the etiological agent of caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) in sheep and goats. Results: An optimized protocol of three-phase partitioning (TPP) was used to obtain the C. pseudotuberculosis exoproteins, and a newly introduced method of data-independent MS acquisition (LC-MSE) was employed for protein identification and label-free quantification. Additionally, the recently developed tool SurfG+ was used for in silico prediction of sub-cellular localization of the identified proteins. In total, 93 different extracellular proteins of C. pseudotuberculosis were identified with high confidence by this strategy; 44 proteins were commonly identified in two different strains, isolated from distinct hosts, then composing a core C. pseudotuberculosis exoproteome. Analysis with the SurfG+ tool showed that more than 75% (70/93) of the identified proteins could be predicted as containing signals for active exportation. Moreover, evidence could be found for probable non-classical export of most of the remaining proteins. Conclusions: Comparative analyses of the exoproteomes of two C. pseudotuberculosis strains, in addition to comparison with other experimentally determined corynebacterial exoproteomes, were helpful to gain novel insights into the contribution of the exported proteins in the virulence of this bacterium. The results presented here compose the most comprehensive coverage of the exoproteome of a corynebacterial species so far
