Atas das 8as Jornadas de Segurança aos Incêndios Urbanos e as 3as Jornadas de Proteção Civil (8JORNINC-3JORPROCIV)

Este livro de ATAS contém os artigos apresentados às 8as Jornadas de Segurança aos Incêndios Urbanos e às 3as Jornadas de Proteção Civil (8JORNINC-3JORPROCIV), que decorreram no Porto, Portugal. Na presente edição das 8JORNINC-3JORPROCIV foram submetidos 50 trabalhos, tendo sido aceites 42. Os trabalhos foram distribuídos em 8 sessões paralelas temáticas, em adição a 2 sessões plenárias, apresentados no dia 2 de junho de 2023. O evento foi iniciado e promovido em Portugal, sob a organização do professor Doutor João Paulo Rodrigues, com as 1as Jornadas de Segurança aos Incêndios Urbanos, em 2005, na Universidade de Coimbra, bem como nos anos seguintes, as 2as Jornadas de Segurança aos Incêndios Urbanos em 2011 e as 3as Jornadas de Segurança aos Incêndios Urbanos em 2013, também na Universidade de Coimbra. As edições seguintes aconteceram em diferentes locais: as 4as Jornadas de Segurança aos Incêndios Urbanos em 2014, no Instituto Politécnico de Bragança; as 5as Jornadas de Segurança aos Incêndios Urbanos em 2016, no Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil em Lisboa; as 6as Jornadas de Segurança aos Incêndios Urbanos e 1as Jornadas de Proteção Civil em 2018, na Universidade de Coimbra; e as 7as Jornadas de Segurança aos Incêndios Urbanos e 2as Jornadas de Proteção Civil, em 2021, no Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco. As 8JORNINC apresentam grande importância num contexto atual de vários e graves incêndios urbanos, florestais e de interface em Portugal. A pertinência do tema da segurança na prevenção e no combate a incêndios, quer pelas consequências emergentes deste tipo de acidentes, quer pela necessidade de redução das ocorrências, do número de vítimas mortais, feridos, prejuízos materiais, patrimoniais, ambientais e sociais, leva a que as Jornadas se destinem a um leque alargado de profissionais e público em geral. As 3JORPROCIV têm como objetivo promover conhecimentos nas áreas da prevenção civil, de riscos e planos de emergência. Pretendem assim, contribuir para a atualização dos conhecimentos técnicos e científicos da segurança e proteção civil, no âmbito do planeamento e prevenção perante cenários de crise e emergência. As Jornadas de Proteção Civil permitem partilhar um leque de conhecimentos multidisciplinares suscetíveis de impulsionar uma intervenção por parte de técnicos, especialistas e dos agentes da proteção civil. A visão interdisciplinar e integradora dos problemas e desafios que a proteção civil apresenta será refletida na prevenção e mitigação dos riscos inerentes a uma situação de acidente. Os trabalhos apresentados nesta edição, permitirão o avanço das 8JORNINC-3JORPROCIV, através da divulgação dos recentes desenvolvimentos e do conhecimento nos domínios da segurança ao incêndio e proteção civil. Por fim, a comissão organizadora das 8JORNINC-3JORPROCIV gostaria de agradecer: - o apoio dos patrocinadores e das instituições do Sistema Científico e Tecnológico; - a todos os autores que partilharam os seus excelentes trabalhos; - e aos elementos da Comissão Científica que auxiliaram no processo de revisão. Todos em conjunto, tornaram possível a realização destas Jornadas.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Novel aziridine esters by the addition of aromatic nitrogen heterocycles to a 2H-azirine-3-carboxylic ester

Methyl 2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2H-azirine-3-carboxoylate acts as an efficient alkylating agent for a variety of five-membered aromatic heterocycles. The aziridines derived from heterocycles that bear an alpha-carbonyl substituent react with TFA to give pyrroloimidazoles; 2,6-dichlorobenzaldehyde is also produced.- (undefined

Cutting Forces Assessment in CNC Machining Processes: A Critical Review

Machining processes remain an unavoidable technique in the production of high-precision parts. Tool behavior is of the utmost importance in machining productivity and costs. Tool performance can be assessed by the roughness left on the machined surfaces, as well as of the forces developed during the process. There are various techniques to determine these cutting forces, such as cutting force prediction or measurement, using dynamometers and other sensor systems. This technique has often been used by numerous researchers in this area. This paper aims to give a review of the different techniques and devices for measuring the forces developed for machining processes, allowing a quick perception of the advantages and limitations of each technique, through the literature research carried out, using recently published worksThe present work was done and funded under the scope of the project ON-SURF (ANI | P2020 | POCI-01-0247-FEDER-024521, co-funded by Portugal 2020 and FEDER, through COMPETE 2020-Operational Programme for Competitiveness and Internationalisation.

The surgical safety checklist and patient outcomes after surgery: a prospective observational cohort study, systematic review and meta-analysis

© 2017 British Journal of Anaesthesia Background: The surgical safety checklist is widely used to improve the quality of perioperative care. However, clinicians continue to debate the clinical effectiveness of this tool. Methods: Prospective analysis of data from the International Surgical Outcomes Study (ISOS), an international observational study of elective in-patient surgery, accompanied by a systematic review and meta-analysis of published literature. The exposure was surgical safety checklist use. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality and the secondary outcome was postoperative complications. In the ISOS cohort, a multivariable multi-level generalized linear model was used to test associations. To further contextualise these findings, we included the results from the ISOS cohort in a meta-analysis. Results are reported as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals. Results: We included 44 814 patients from 497 hospitals in 27 countries in the ISOS analysis. There were 40 245 (89.8%) patients exposed to the checklist, whilst 7508 (16.8%) sustained ≥1 postoperative complications and 207 (0.5%) died before hospital discharge. Checklist exposure was associated with reduced mortality [odds ratio (OR) 0.49 (0.32–0.77); P\u3c0.01], but no difference in complication rates [OR 1.02 (0.88–1.19); P=0.75]. In a systematic review, we screened 3732 records and identified 11 eligible studies of 453 292 patients including the ISOS cohort. Checklist exposure was associated with both reduced postoperative mortality [OR 0.75 (0.62–0.92); P\u3c0.01; I2=87%] and reduced complication rates [OR 0.73 (0.61–0.88); P\u3c0.01; I2=89%). Conclusions: Patients exposed to a surgical safety checklist experience better postoperative outcomes, but this could simply reflect wider quality of care in hospitals where checklist use is routine

Prospective observational cohort study on grading the severity of postoperative complications in global surgery research

Background The Clavien–Dindo classification is perhaps the most widely used approach for reporting postoperative complications in clinical trials. This system classifies complication severity by the treatment provided. However, it is unclear whether the Clavien–Dindo system can be used internationally in studies across differing healthcare systems in high- (HICs) and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods This was a secondary analysis of the International Surgical Outcomes Study (ISOS), a prospective observational cohort study of elective surgery in adults. Data collection occurred over a 7-day period. Severity of complications was graded using Clavien–Dindo and the simpler ISOS grading (mild, moderate or severe, based on guided investigator judgement). Severity grading was compared using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Data are presented as frequencies and ICC values (with 95 per cent c.i.). The analysis was stratified by income status of the country, comparing HICs with LMICs. Results A total of 44 814 patients were recruited from 474 hospitals in 27 countries (19 HICs and 8 LMICs). Some 7508 patients (16·8 per cent) experienced at least one postoperative complication, equivalent to 11 664 complications in total. Using the ISOS classification, 5504 of 11 664 complications (47·2 per cent) were graded as mild, 4244 (36·4 per cent) as moderate and 1916 (16·4 per cent) as severe. Using Clavien–Dindo, 6781 of 11 664 complications (58·1 per cent) were graded as I or II, 1740 (14·9 per cent) as III, 2408 (20·6 per cent) as IV and 735 (6·3 per cent) as V. Agreement between classification systems was poor overall (ICC 0·41, 95 per cent c.i. 0·20 to 0·55), and in LMICs (ICC 0·23, 0·05 to 0·38) and HICs (ICC 0·46, 0·25 to 0·59). Conclusion Caution is recommended when using a treatment approach to grade complications in global surgery studies, as this may introduce bias unintentionally
