Perfil da violência contra mulheres atendidas na Pousada de Maria Perfil de la violencia sufrida por mujeres atendidas en la Posada de María Profile of the violence committed against women assisted at Pousada de Maria lodging

Pesquisa exploratória, retrospectiva, realizada na Pousada de Maria, em Curitiba, em 2007. Teve como objetivo caracterizar o perfil da violência praticada contra mulheres residentes na Pousada de Maria, durante os anos de 1993 à 2007. Os dados foram obtidos através da análise de 886 fichas de registro das vítimas, transcritos para um instrumento construído para a pesquisa. As vítimas tinham idade entre 18 e 88 anos, baixa escolaridade, e sofreram violência física, psicológica, sexual e estrutural, principalmente pelos companheiros e pessoas conhecidas. Convivem com a violência para manter a união familiar, e rompem com ela na existência de programas sociais e abrigos. A violência é um fenômeno frequente entre mulheres solteiras, com ensino fundamental incompleto: 24,6% delas sofreram violência física, 24,15%, psicológica, 14,22%, violência estrutural. As solteiras, amasiadas e casadas devem ser inseridas como grupo de risco e objeto de atenção, pelos profissionais de saúde no planejamento de ações preventivas.<br>Investigación exploratoria retrospectiva, realizada en la Posada de María en Curitiba, Brasil, en el año 2007, con el fin de caracterizar el perfil de la violencia ejercida contra mujeres que residieron en dicha institución en el período comprendido entre 1993 a 2007.

Data collection was performed by analyzing 886 records of the victims' registration and transcribed to an instrument formulated for the study. The victims were between 18 and 88 years old, with low education; they suffered physical, psychological, sexual and structural violence, mainly by their partners and acquaintances. They lived with violence to maintain their family union and decided to resolve the situation when they had access to social programs and shelters. Violence is a common phenomenon among single women with incomplete primary education; 24.6% suffered physical violence, 24.15% psychological, and 14.22% structural violence. Single women, whether in a common-law relationship or married, should be considered as an at-risk group and worthy subjects of attention by health professionals when planning preventive actions

Quality of life at work: Brazilian nursing literature review Calidad de vida en el trabajo: evaluación de la producción científica en la enfermería Brasileña Qualidade de vida no trabalho: avaliação da produção científica na enfermagem brasileira

OBJECTIVE: To analyze how Quality of Working Life (QWL) / Quality of Life at Work (QLW) has been studied, and assess the Brazilian nursing professionals' satisfaction. METHODS: Articles were selected using the following databases: LILACS; CAPES; DEDALUS; UNICAMP; UNIFESP; and UNESP. The selected studies were analyzed based on some evaluation criteria used in studies about Quality of Life: concepts and domains, used instruments and investigated population. RESULTS: Of the 47 studies found, 17 (36.1%) met the established inclusion criteria. The term QWL/QLW was conceptualized in eight articles (47.0%). Eleven papers (64.7%) pointed out the analyzed domains. The QWL/QLW concept was more related to professional satisfaction, while the most approached domain was payment. Seven instruments were found, and the Index of Professional Satisfaction was the most used (23.5%). CONCLUSION: Generally, there was no consensus among the researched authors regarding the QWL/QLW concept and the domains of the evaluated studies.<br>OBJETIVO: Analizar cómo ha sido estudiada la calidad de Vida en el Trabajo (CVT) y la satisfacción profesional en la enfermería brasileña.

El término CVT fue conceptualizado en ocho publicaciones (47,0 %) y 11 (64,7%) apuntaron los dominios analizados. El concepto de CVT estuvo más relacionado a la satisfacción profesional y el dominio más abordado fue la remuneración. Fueron identificados siete instrumentos, siendo el Índice de Satisfacción Profesional el más usado (23,5%). CONCLUSIÓN: De modo general no existió consenso entre los autores de las investigaciones analizadas respecto al concepto de CVT y a los dominios del trabajo evaluados.<br>OBJETIVO: Analisar como tem sido estudada a Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (QVT) e a satisfação profissional na enfermagem brasileira.

The "Sete Fontes" groundwater system (Braga, NW Portugal): historical milestones and urban assessment

Water resource assessment is essential to bring about sustainable growth of urban development and overall economic progress. Climate change and population growth pressure are important drivers in the available water resources. The crucial point of water management should be to promote an integrated water management in a river catchment and associated groundwater systems. The ancient drinking water system from Sete Fontes (Braga, northern Portugal) was built in the middle-eighteen century, and was the main water supply system of the city until 1913. This water system is located in a valley, with a NE-SW trend, promoting a favourable gentle slope to water gravity transport into the city. The Sete Fontes aquifer is characterized by Silurian metasediments intruded by Variscan granites, with two main fracturation trends - ENE-WSW and NW-SE. The mainly hydrogeochemistry is Na-Cl facies and locally Na-HCO3 facies. The groundwater is poorly mineralized, suggesting meteoric water contribution, with a relatively shallow circuit. During the Roman period, Sete Fontes system was probably the main source of water for the city. The economic, and demographic expansion of Braga lead to the increasing use of other water resources. Presently, the city primary delivery system is only supplied surface water from Cávado catchment. Natural groundwater characteristics from Sete Fontes shows that it is still suitable for human consumption and also to non-potable uses. The assessment also suggests that this is a sustainable water resource, that can constitute an important backup solution in case of failure of the main delivery system due to scarcity or catastrophe.This work is co-funded by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund, based on COMPETE 2020 (Programa Operacional da Competitividade e Internacionalização), project ICT (UID/GEO/04683/2013) with reference POCI01-0145-FEDER-007690 and national funds provided by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
