Contribuições da osteopatia: período peri e neonatal / Contributions of osteopathy: peri and neonatal period

Objetivo principal: descrever a abordagem da Osteopatia para crianças e mulheres no período peri e neonatal, considerando seus aspectos positivos na qualidade de vida da família. Metodologia: Revisão Bibliográfica. Resultados: Dada sua abordagem holística, a Osteopatia pode contribuir: 1. Com relação à saúde da gestante,para reduzir a ocorrência de complicações gestacionais, produzir modificações clínicas positivas na intensidadeda dor e incapacidade funcional em mulheres com dor lombar/pélvica no pós-parto e diminuir sintomas de seu trato urinário. 2. Com relação ao neonato, para reduzir significativamente o número de dias de internação de prematuros, diminuir as disfunções gastrointestinais em lactentes e contribuir para a melhoria das assimetrias cranianas. O exame osteopático neonatal pode identificar indivíduos predispostos a desenvolver plagiocefalia. Embora ainda não haja estudos com grande número de usuários, há relatos, onde a Osteopatia se mostrou eficiente para neonatos com dificuldades na amamentação, distúrbios gastrointestinais funcionais (cólicas, refluxo e constipação), alterações ortopédicas como assimetrias, alterações no padrão de choro e irritabilidade

Biodiesel production via ethylic transesterification with basic zeolites

Neste trabalho, teve-se como objetivo a preparação de zeólitas básicas através da modifcação de zeólitas USY com bário e estrôncio e sua aplicação na reação de transesterifcação de óleo de soja com etanol, para produção de ésteres de etila (biodiesel). Além disso, foram estudados os efeitos da geração de sítios básicos na superfície dos catalisadores, bem como suas respectivas atividades por três ciclos catalíticos. O biodiesel obtido nos ciclos foi analisado por HPLC, CG-FID e espectroscopia Raman. Já os catalisadores foram caracterizados por FTIR, análises térmicas e adsorção gasosa de piridina e CO2.Soybean oil transesterifcation with ethanol was carried out in a batch reactor using USY zeolites modifed with barium and strontium (15 wt.%) as catalysts. A series of three catalytic cycles were performed for each zeolite without any loss of activity. The biodiesel product was analyzed by HPLC and FT-Raman, and the catalysts by pyridine and CO2 adsorption. Ba/USY provided higher conversions (> 97%) than Sr/USY (< 75%). The increased catalytic activity of Ba/USY was attributed to two different effects: a larger number of basic sites; and a lower interaction between barium species and HUSY Brønsted sites

Estudo Comparativo: arbitragem luso-brasileira de conflitos de propriedade intelectual

Arbitration has been a fundamental tool in the resolution of disputes involving intellectual property, due to the fact that it provides internal agreements with privacy, flexibility and cost reduction for the conflicting parties. In this sense, the present work aimed to analyze in a comparative way the use of arbitration in intellectual property conflicts involving brands, in two legal systems in the countries of Brazil and Portugal. The comparative research, carried out through the use of metrics from the legal tool called comparative law allied to SWOT matrix, served as the basis for the analysis and comparison of the legal systems of both countries. Thus, it is concluded that Brazil still faces many barriers, which it needs to transpose, in terms of arbitration applied to the marcary law. The main result obtained showed that Portugal is better prepared to deal with arbitration in the resolution of conflicts that have trademarks as their theme.A arbitragem tem sido uma ferramenta fundamental na resolução de controvérsias envolvendo a propriedade intelectual, devido ao fato de propiciar acordos internos com privacidade, flexibilidade e redução de custos para as partes conflitantes. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho objetivou analisar de forma comparativa a utilização da arbitragem nos conflitos de propriedade intelectual envolvendo as marcas em dois sistemas jurídicos presentes nos países Brasil e Portugal. A pesquisa comparativa, realizada por meio da utilização das métricas provenientes da ferramenta jurídica denominada direito comparado aliado à matriz FOFA, serviu de base para a análise e a comparação dos sistemas jurídicos de ambos países. Desse modo, conclui-se que o Brasil ainda enfrenta muitas barreiras, que precisa transpor, em matéria de arbitragem aplicada ao direito marcário. O principal resultado obtido evidenciou que Portugal está mais bem preparado para tratar da arbitragem na resolução de conflitos que tenham como temática as marcas

BEBIDA GASEIFICADA DE ERVA-MATE VERDE

The objective of the present work was the development of a gasified drink based on the extract of green yerba-mate. The conditions for obtaining the extract of green yerba-mate were determined, selected in function of the income in dry residue and of the viable possibilities of processing. It was defined granulometry of the leaves, the proportion of leaves of green yerba-mate and water (10:100), temperature of 85ºC and time of thirty minutes for preparing the extract. For the formulation of the drink, refined sugar (syrup form), citric acid, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, caramel color, drinking water and carbonic gas for the gasification. In a general way the consumers present the tendency of better acceptance for products prepared starting from ingredients traditionally used and common to their alimentary habits. However, the accomplished sensorial analyses demonstrated that the gasified drink green yerba-mate obtained good acceptance among the judges (average of 6,88) in a hedonic scale with maximum value of nine points. The judges appreciated the soft and characteristic flavor of the green yerba-mate, making possible the development of drinks gasified with the extract of green yerba-mate.O objetivo do presente trabalho foi o desenvolvimento de bebida gaseificada à base de extrato de erva-mate verde. Determinaram-se as condições para obtenção do extrato de erva-mate verde selecionadas em função do rendimento em resíduo seco e das possibilidades mais viáveis de processamento. Foram definidas a granulometria das folhas, a proporção de folhas de erva-mate verde e água (10:100), temperatura de 85oC e tempo de trinta minutos para o preparo do extrato. Para a formulação da bebida foram empregados açúcar refinado (forma de xarope), ácido cítrico, benzoato de sódio, sorbato de potássio, corante caramelo, água potável e gás carbônico para a gaseificação. De maneira geral, os consumidores apresentam tendência para melhor aceitação de produtos preparados a partir de ingredientes tradicionalmente utilizados e comuns aos seus hábitos alimentares. Entretanto, as análises sensoriais realizadas demonstraram que a bebida gaseificada erva-mate verde obteve boa aceitação entre os julgadores (média de 6,88) em escala hedônica com valor máximo de nove pontos. Os julgadores apreciaram o sabor suave e característico da erva-mate verde, possibilitando o desenvolvimento de bebidas gaseificadas com o extrato de erva-mate verde

Acidity and characterization of 12-Tungstophosphoric acid supported on Silica-alumina

This work deals with preparation and characterization of H3PW12O40 (H3PW) supported on silica-alumina. Impregnation of H3PW (15, 20, 30 and 40 wt.%) on commercial silica-alumina support in acidic aqueous solution is effective for preparing this catalyst keeping its Keggin structure, according to different methods of characterization. The catalysts were tested in a model reaction of acetic acid with ethanol and 30 wt.% H3PW/SiO2-Al2O3 had the highest activity under the conditions: catalyst calcination at 300 ºC, temperature of 100 ºC, acetic acid:ethanol molar ratio of 2:1 and catalyst:acetic acid mass ratio of 10 wt.%. The reaction yield was 79 and 100% selectivity for ethyl acetate over three reutilizations, for reaction time of 2 h. The calculated total acid site distribution was 0.299 mmol g-1 (97% of the theoretical probed by pyridine), and most of these (0.236 mmol g-1) were Brønsted weak-medium strength (pyridine desorption between 300 and 500 ºC)

Global patient outcomes after elective surgery: prospective cohort study in 27 low-, middle- and high-income countries.

BACKGROUND: As global initiatives increase patient access to surgical treatments, there remains a need to understand the adverse effects of surgery and define appropriate levels of perioperative care. METHODS: We designed a prospective international 7-day cohort study of outcomes following elective adult inpatient surgery in 27 countries. The primary outcome was in-hospital complications. Secondary outcomes were death following a complication (failure to rescue) and death in hospital. Process measures were admission to critical care immediately after surgery or to treat a complication and duration of hospital stay. A single definition of critical care was used for all countries. RESULTS: A total of 474 hospitals in 19 high-, 7 middle- and 1 low-income country were included in the primary analysis. Data included 44 814 patients with a median hospital stay of 4 (range 2-7) days. A total of 7508 patients (16.8%) developed one or more postoperative complication and 207 died (0.5%). The overall mortality among patients who developed complications was 2.8%. Mortality following complications ranged from 2.4% for pulmonary embolism to 43.9% for cardiac arrest. A total of 4360 (9.7%) patients were admitted to a critical care unit as routine immediately after surgery, of whom 2198 (50.4%) developed a complication, with 105 (2.4%) deaths. A total of 1233 patients (16.4%) were admitted to a critical care unit to treat complications, with 119 (9.7%) deaths. Despite lower baseline risk, outcomes were similar in low- and middle-income compared with high-income countries. CONCLUSIONS: Poor patient outcomes are common after inpatient surgery. Global initiatives to increase access to surgical treatments should also address the need for safe perioperative care. STUDY REGISTRATION: ISRCTN5181700

Search for new particles in events with energetic jets and large missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

A search is presented for new particles produced at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV, using events with energetic jets and large missing transverse momentum. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 101 fb(-1), collected in 2017-2018 with the CMS detector. Machine learning techniques are used to define separate categories for events with narrow jets from initial-state radiation and events with large-radius jets consistent with a hadronic decay of a W or Z boson. A statistical combination is made with an earlier search based on a data sample of 36 fb(-1), collected in 2016. No significant excess of events is observed with respect to the standard model background expectation determined from control samples in data. The results are interpreted in terms of limits on the branching fraction of an invisible decay of the Higgs boson, as well as constraints on simplified models of dark matter, on first-generation scalar leptoquarks decaying to quarks and neutrinos, and on models with large extra dimensions. Several of the new limits, specifically for spin-1 dark matter mediators, pseudoscalar mediators, colored mediators, and leptoquarks, are the most restrictive to date.Peer reviewe

Combined searches for the production of supersymmetric top quark partners in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

A combination of searches for top squark pair production using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb(-1) collected by the CMS experiment, is presented. Signatures with at least 2 jets and large missing transverse momentum are categorized into events with 0, 1, or 2 leptons. New results for regions of parameter space where the kinematical properties of top squark pair production and top quark pair production are very similar are presented. Depending on themodel, the combined result excludes a top squarkmass up to 1325 GeV for amassless neutralino, and a neutralinomass up to 700 GeV for a top squarkmass of 1150 GeV. Top squarks with masses from 145 to 295 GeV, for neutralino masses from 0 to 100 GeV, with a mass difference between the top squark and the neutralino in a window of 30 GeV around the mass of the top quark, are excluded for the first time with CMS data. The results of theses searches are also interpreted in an alternative signal model of dark matter production via a spin-0 mediator in association with a top quark pair. Upper limits are set on the cross section for mediator particle masses of up to 420 GeV
