Being a Psychoanalyst

O autor, tendo por base a obra completa de Sigmund Freud, pretendeu realçar a importância fundamental do funcionamento mental do psicanalista e da sua disponibilidade interna para o processo analítico com os seus analisandos. Salientando como essencial na formação psicanalítica a análise pessoal que possibilite o tender e o realizar-se naquilo que verdadeiramente se é

Algumas notas acerca da consulta de psicologia clínica

Partindo do conceito de consulta de psicologia clínica, o autor aborda a experiência de realizá-la, com pacientes de idades compreendidas entre os 3 e os 13 anos, ao longo de quase duas décadas de trabalho, primeiro ,no C.S.M.I.J.L. e, depois, no H.D.E.. Esse trabalho clínico tem sido realizado numa perspectiva teórico-prática de orientação psicanalítica. A análise da relação, que se estabelece, entre o psicólogo clínico e a criança, e os pais, é fundamental. No enfoque afectivo-cognitivo-relacional é interpretado quer a vida actual, quer a passada, quer os projectos futuros da criança, enquadrados no contexto familiar, e outros, dos quais depende o desenvolvimento global dela. Da existência, regular, de dinâmicas familiares desadequadas às necessidades dos filhos, o autor realiza consulta terapêutica, com os pais, para fomentar, quantitativa e qualitativamente, o desempenho da função materna e paterna destes

Two decades of work at first in the C.S.M.I.J.L. and later at H.D.E.. Clinical work has been made from psicanalitical theory and pratice. Relationships analisis from the psychologist, the child and the parents is fundamental. The affective-cognitive-relational focus is seen from present life and past one, from future projects of the child, the family context and others from which depends global development. The author makes therapeutic consults with the parents to increase the adequacy of parental functions.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

IEC 61499 REPLICATION FOR FAULT TOLERANT SYSTEM

The IEC 61499 was developed thinking about the new generation of distributed control and automation systems. This provides essential resources for the development of distributed systems such as encapsulation, portability and reconfiguration. In this sense, and to ensure confidence in the operation should be implemented fault tolerance techniques dealing with hardware failures and errors off software associated with us where the distributed application runs. In this paper, we propose an approach to deal with failures in distributed systems tolerance problems, based on a replication model based on replication software/hardware as a means to achieve confidence in the operation.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Reliability of Replicated Distributed Control Systems Applications Based on IEC 61499

The use of industrial and domestic equipment is increasingly dependent on computerized control systems. This evolution awakens in the users the feeling of reliability of the equipment, which is not always achieved. However, system designers implement fault-tolerance methodologies and attributes to eliminate faults or any error in the system. Industrially, the increase in system reliability is achieved by the redundancy of control systems based on the replication of conventional and centralized programmable logic controllers. In distributed systems, reliability is achieved by replicating and distributing the most critical elements, leaving a single copy of the remaining components. On the other hand, given the nature of the distributed systems, it will also be necessary to ensure that the data set received by each of the replicas has the same order. Thus, any change in the order and data set received will result in different results, in each of the replicas, which may manifest in erroneous behavior. In this paper, the interactions and the erroneous behavior of the replicas are explained, depending on the data set received, in a fault tolerant distributed system. Its tendency, behavior and possible influences on reliability are presented, considering the failure rate and availability based on the mean time to failure.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Construction of a tungsten coil atomic emission spectrometer (WCAES)

It is here discussed the development of a low cost analytical instrument with capacity for metals determination using atomic emission measurements in an electrothermal atomization system with a tungsten coil atomizer. The main goal was to show a new frontier for using this atomizer and to demonstrate that the simple instrumental arrangement here proposed has potential for portability and for solving analytical tasks related to metals determination. Atomic emission of calcium was selected for the adjustment of instrumental parameters and to evaluate the main characteristics of the lab-built instrument. Cobalt was determined in medicines and one alloy to demonstrate its feasibility.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)FAPES

Influence of opacifiers on dimensional stability and detail reproduction of maxillofacial silicone elastomer

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>We evaluated the influence of chemical disinfection and accelerated aging on the dimensional stability and detail reproduction of a silicone elastomer containing one of two opacifiers.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>A total of 90 samples were fabricated from Silastic MDX 4-4210 silicone and divided into groups (n = 10) according to opacifier content (barium sulfate or titanium dioxide) and disinfectant solution (neutral soap, Efferdent, or 4% chlorhexidine). The specimens were disinfected 3 times per week during 60 days and then subjected to accelerated aging for 1008 hours. Dimensional stability and detail reproduction tests were performed after specimens' fabrication (baseline), chemical disinfection and periodically during accelerated aging (252, 504, and 1008 hours). The results were analyzed using 3-way repeated-measures ANOVA and the Tukey HSD test (α = 0.05).</p> <p>Results</p> <p>All groups exhibited dimensional changes over time. The opacifier (p = .314), period (p < .0001) and their interactions (p = .0041) affected the dimensional stability of the silicone. Statistical significant dimensional differences occurred between groups with (0.071) and without opacifiers (0.053). Accelerated aging influenced the dimensional stability of the samples. All groups scored 2 in the detail reproduction tests, which represents the fully reproducing of three test grooves with accurate angles.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Incorporation of opacifiers alters the dimensional stability of silicones used in facial prosthetics, but seems to have no influence on detail reproduction. Accelerated aging is responsible for most of the dimensional changes in Silastic MDX4 4210, but all dimensional changes measured in this study remained within the limits of stability necessary for this application.</p

Interpretation of gravity data to delineate structural features connected to low-temperature geothermal resources at Northeastern Portugal

A great number of low-temperature geothermal fields occur in Northern-Portugal related to fractured rocks. The most important superficial manifestations of these hydrothermal systems appear in pull-apart tectonic basins and are strongly conditioned by the orientation of the main fault systems in the region. This work presents the interpretation of gravity gradient maps and 3D inversion model produced from a regional gravity survey. The horizontal gradients reveal a complex fault system. The obtained 3D model of density contrast puts into evidence the main fault zone in the region and the depth distribution of the granitic bodies. Their relationship with the hydrothermal systems supports the conceptual models elaborated from hydrochemical and isotopic water analyses. This work emphasizes the importance of the role of the gravity method and analysis to better understand the connection between hydrothermal systems and the fractured rock pattern and surrounding geology.
