Renovações na moda a partir de novas tendências : a fotografia de moda como discurso de causas contemporâneas

Orientador: Luís Carlos dos Santos.Monografia (graduação) - Universidade Federal do Paraná. Setor de Artes, Comunicação e Design. Curso de Relações Públicas.O presente trabalho aborda questões referentes ao mercado de moda e assuntos que, recentemente, têm afetado este ramo, ligados a causas sociais como consumo consciente, representações de minorias sociais na mídia de massa e consciência ambiental. Tais preocupações provêm de um novo público consumidor, constituído por indivíduos nascidos a partir da década de 1980 e que são habituados a expressar e compartilhar opiniões através da internet. Em um contexto de convergência cultural, diversas marcas no setor de moda têm percebido as preocupações deste novo público e buscado assumir um posicionamento de marca que se encaixe nestas causas. O recorte desta pesquisa inclui as marcas brasileiras À La Garçonne, Melissa e Basico.com, e, através de uma análise semiótica baseada nos estudos de Ana Lucia Santaella e na metodologia Peirceana, o trabalho visa analisar como se expressam na fotografia de moda as questões sociais anteriormente citadas

Performance of visible and Near-infrared spectroscopy to predict the energetic properties of wood

Wood can be used for fuel by direct burning, or as a raw material for other fuels; however, it is necessary to evaluate the energy properties to ensure the optimal use of this material. The most relevant characteristics to be analyzed are the higher heating value, volatile material content, fixed carbon content, and ash content. Along with the traditional methods, there are also non-destructive evaluations that are optimized for speed and reliability. Among these methods, visible spectroscopy and near-infrared spectroscopy have been proven to be robust for the prediction of several wood properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of visible spectroscopy and near-infrared spectroscopy for species discrimination and prediction of higher heating value, volatile material content, fixed carbon content, and ash content for Eucalyptus saligna, Eucalyptus dunnii, and Eucalyptus benthamii woods. For this purpose, multivariate principal component analysis and partial least squares regression were applied to the collected spectra. The principal component analysis satisfactorily discriminated the three species, explaining 99% of the variance of the visible spectroscopy spectra and 73% of that of the near-infrared spectra. The estimation of energetic properties through partial least squares regression was satisfactory for both visible spectroscopy and near-infrared spectroscopies, which presented calibration R² values close to 1 and low errors for all properties studied

Incisional herniorrhaphy associated to abdominoplasty after gastroplasty

INTRODUCTION: Incisional hernias resulting from gastroplasty are a frequent occurrence, requiring planning, surgical technique and patient compliance after surgery for an appropriate outcome. OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the treatment of incisional hernias in combination with dermolipectomy (anchor or classic) and pubic lifting, performed in 62 patients undergoing Roux-Y gastroplasty by open surgery and videolaparoscopy. METHODS: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study, based on the analysis of 382 patient records. Study plan, strategy, surgical techniques and results will be described. RESULTS: Success was obtained in all cases, with no incidence of hernia recurrence. CONCLUSION: The approach was effective, easily reproducible, with low complication rates

Percepções da família da criança com doença crônica frente às relações com profissionais da saúde

A prevalência de doença crônica na infância tem aumentado, impondo à família contato contínuo com profissionais de saúde, ocasião em que a relação desempenha papel relevante. Raras explorações científicas abordam tal temática, apesar de ser apontada como núcleo fundamental para a interação efetiva. O objetivo desse estudo foi caracterizar como a família de criança doente crônica percebe sua relação com os profissionais de saúde. Foram entrevistados 20 cuidadores de criança com doença crônica. O referencial teórico e metodológico adotados foram, respectivamente, o Interacionismo Simbólico e a análise de conteúdo temática. O processo analítico revelou quatro categorias temáticas: papel do cuidador, relações angustiantes, serviços e profissionais e buscando relações acolhedoras. O resultado deste processo interacional que apresenta incongruência de expectativas e comportamentos entre profissional e família é falho e gera sentimento de desamparo, o qual é amenizado pela escuta e compreensão de outras famílias em situação similar

Guidelines for Family-Centered Care in the Neonatal, Pediatric, and Adult ICU.

OBJECTIVE: To provide clinicians with evidence-based strategies to optimize the support of the family of critically ill patients in the ICU. METHODS: We used the Council of Medical Specialty Societies principles for the development of clinical guidelines as the framework for guideline development. We assembled an international multidisciplinary team of 29 members with expertise in guideline development, evidence analysis, and family-centered care to revise the 2007 Clinical Practice Guidelines for support of the family in the patient-centered ICU. We conducted a scoping review of qualitative research that explored family-centered care in the ICU. Thematic analyses were conducted to support Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome question development. Patients and families validated the importance of interventions and outcomes. We then conducted a systematic review using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations methodology to make recommendations for practice. Recommendations were subjected to electronic voting with pre-established voting thresholds. No industry funding was associated with the guideline development. RESULTS: The scoping review yielded 683 qualitative studies; 228 were used for thematic analysis and Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome question development. The systematic review search yielded 4,158 reports after deduplication and 76 additional studies were added from alerts and hand searches; 238 studies met inclusion criteria. We made 23 recommendations from moderate, low, and very low level of evidence on the topics of: communication with family members, family presence, family support, consultations and ICU team members, and operational and environmental issues. We provide recommendations for future research and work-tools to support translation of the recommendations into practice. CONCLUSIONS: These guidelines identify the evidence base for best practices for family-centered care in the ICU. All recommendations were weak, highlighting the relative nascency of this field of research and the importance of future research to identify the most effective interventions to improve this important aspect of ICU care

Peritonitis and catheter exit-site infection in patients on peritoneal dialysis at home

Objective: to analyze the complications related to peritonitis and catheter exit-site infections, in patients on peritoneal dialysis at home.Method: quantitative and cross-sectional study, carried out with 90 patients on peritoneal dialysis at home, in a municipality in the Northeast region of Brazil. For data collection, it was used two structured scripts and consultation on medical records. Descriptive analysis and comparison tests among independent groups were used, considering p<0.05 as level of statistical significance.Results: by comparing the frequency of peritonitis and the length of treatment, it was found that patients over two years of peritoneal dialysis were more likely to develop peritonitis (X²=6.39; p=0.01). The number of episodes of peritoneal catheter exit-site infection showed association with the length of treatment (U=224,000; p=0.015).Conclusion: peritonitis and catheter exit-site infection are associated with the length of treatment
