TCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro Sócio-Econômico. Economia.O presente trabalho evidencia as relações sócio-ambientais e o modo capitalista de produção industrial e de acumulação. São apresentadas aqui as relações e implicações de um modo capitalista industrial de produção e seus resultados impactantes no que se refere à temática ambiental. Desse modo, inerentes ao debate ambiental, que surge em meio a um processo de intensa acumulação capitalista, são estabelecidos importantes conceitos relacionados ao tema, discutidos aqui, como ecodesenvolvimento e desenvolvimento sustentável. Em meio a todo esse debate, constitui-se uma nova forma de se pensar a sociedade. Hoje, é imperioso à economia que se estabeleça um forte aparato institucional e estrutural para que as relações econômicas possam se estabelecer de forma sustentada e ecologicamente responsável

3D PROTOTYPING APPLIED TO DENTAL IMPLANT SURGERIES.

Tooth loss is one of the major problems in dentistry. With technological advances, the dental implant came to perform replacement of extracted teeth. The use of 3D impressions brought the possibility of reproducing dental arches in a reliable way, thanks to the InVesalius program that processes tomographic images, transforming them into a file capable of reproducing a dimensionally accurate prototype by printing. With regard to dentists, prototyping offered great benefits, such as clarity in surgical planning and safety in the execution of procedures, in addition to allowing the patient to elucidate the process in advance, reducing numerous dissatisfactions and doubts about the proposed treatment. Coupled with the advantages offered to the dentist and the patient, by the 3D prototype, the cost factor is of paramount importance due to its irrelevance as to the total value of a dental implant in view of the benefits offered by the use of 3D prototyping. This work presents the process of generating a three-dimensional model using the Invesalius software and its printing, with subsequent dental implant testing.Tooth loss is one of the major problems in dentistry.

Producción de cuidado y subjetividad

Trata-se de uma reflexão teórica sobre a conexão entre produção de cuidado e subjetividade, e sobre as idéias que sustentam esta conexão. Uma busca por trabalhos já existentes foi feita no Banco de Dados Bibliográficos da Universidade de São Paulo. A discussão dos achados se deu a partir de algumas noções da pós-modernidade, em sua crítica à racionalidade instrumental, que percorre, em maior ou menor grau, as concepções e ações de cuidado, no contemporâneo. Recuperar o sujeito e sua respectiva produção de subjetividades é recuperar, igualmente, um cuidado que confunda os limites fronteiriços do que é qualificado como objetivo/subjetivo e aposte numa visão integrada daquilo que diz respeito ao cotidiano das produções e ações humanas.This is a theoretical reflection concerning the link between production of care and subjectivity, and the ideas that support this connection. It was performed a search for studies that had been previously elaborated in the database from University of São Paulo. The discussions upon de findings were based on some ideas of post-modernity and its criticism to the instrumental rationality, that relies on contemporaneous conceptions and actions concerning care. Recovering the subject and their very subjectivity production means to recover a kind of care that mix the edge between objective and subjective and bets on an integrated view of daily human productions and actions.Es una reflección teórica acerca de la conección entre la producción del cuidado y subjetividad y sobre las ideas que sustentan esta conección. Se realizó una búsqueda de trabajos existentes en el Banco de Datos Bibliográficos de la Universidad de San Pablo y luego se efectuó una discusión con los resultados, a partir de algunas nociones de la post-modernidad, en su crítica a la racionalidad instrumental, que influencia en mayor o menor grado a las concepciones y acciones del cuidado en el contemporáneo. Recuperar al sujeto y a su respectiva producción de subjetividades es recuperar igualmente a un cuidado que confunda los límites fronterizos de lo que es calificado como objetivo/subjetivo, que se apueste en una visión integrada de lo que está relacionado al cotidiano de las producciones y acciones humanas

THE UNDERGRADUATE COURSES IN LIGHT OF ITS RECENT POLICIES

De Campos, S. R. M., & Henriques, R. (2019). THE BRAZILIAN HIGHER EDUCATION: THE UNDERGRADUATE COURSES IN LIGHT OF ITS RECENT POLICIES. In M. Carmo (Ed.), Education and New Developments 2019 (Vol. II, pp. 371-375). InScience Press. https://doi.org/10.36315/2019v2end084Higher Education has been considered of unprecedented relevance when it comes to the effects of globalization on countries as they are responsible for people’s training and knowledge generation. HEIs cannot avoid the inevitable global environment, as they are more exposed to the inequalities among the best-internationalized institutions as part of the world system of Higher Education. Despite, they continue to be confronted with some challenges as access, equity, quality and relevance. The Higher Education System in Brazil is the most extensive higher education system and the one who has relied the most on the private for-profit sector among the Latin America countries, and its university governance has assumed characteristics that you do not necessarily see elsewhere. Thus, this research addresses a significant gap: the limited studies considering the context of the HEIs in developing countries. Based on this context, this paper proposes to present an overview of the Brazilian Higher Education to discuss its characteristics, based on the literature review, and to analyze the data of the undergraduate courses, from 2010 to 2015, organized according to the OECD main areas and based on the Higher Education Census microdata. It intends to contribute to a more strategic view concerning the offer conditions of the HEIs, identifying its most recent trends and challenges. We adopted an exploratory and descriptive research methodology and followed an inductive approach to a quantitative research strategy. We used an artificial type of Neural Network (ANN), the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) technique, as a method of data analysis, as it mapped data in an easily interpreted form, capable of organizing large, complex datasets robustly and reliably. The main conclusions of the paper were that students have access to the tertiary level of study, mainly in science and engineering fields, areas of preference among abroad students. In Brazil, the findings pointed out the opposite, as the Brazilian Higher Education was concentrated mainly in Education and Social Sciences, Business and Law areas.publishersversionpublishe

Spasticity and body composition assessments in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury

Orientador: Alberto Cliquet JuniorTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciências MédicasResumo: A lesão medular (LM) é uma patologia que gera inúmeras complicações, entre estas a mudança na composição corporal e a espasticidade. A alteração na composição corporal ocorre através da diminuição da massa magra e do aumento da massa gorda. Já a espasticidade ocorre em cerca de 70% dos casos e pode ser medida através do teste pendular. Um teste prático e objetivo, mas que não há na literatura uma posição padronizada para a sua realização. Portanto, a presente pesquisa tem três objetivos principais: investigar a influência de três diferentes posturas na espasticidade de indivíduos com LM; avaliar o efeito de tratamentos com estimulação elétrica neuromuscular (EENM) na espasticidade destes pacientes; avaliar a composição corporal de indivíduos com LM que praticam ou não atividade física. Para isso a pesquisa foi dividida em três etapas. Na primeira, 5 sujeitos com LM e 5 controles realizaram o teste pendular em três diferentes posturas: supino, semi-supino com 30° de flexão de tronco e sentado com 60° de flexão de tronco. Foi utilizado um eletrogoniômetro fixado na perna direita para medir os ângulos do joelho e oscilações da perna. Os resultados foram comparados entre as posturas e não houve diferença significativa entre elas. Entretanto, os resultados na posição sentada foram similares ao do grupo controle. Na segunda etapa, 28 pacientes com LM foram divididos em três grupos de acordo com o protocolo de treinamento com EENM proposto (exercício, marcha em andador e marcha em esteira) e avaliados através do teste pendular antes e depois do treinamento de 6 meses. As avaliações foram realizadas antes e após as sessões de treinamento, utilizando um eletrogoniômetro. As medidas foram realizadas em ambas as pernas e a postura escolhida para o teste foi a sentada com 60º de flexão de tronco. Os parâmetros analisados foram: primeiro ângulo de flexão do joelho (Fang), ângulo de repouso (Restang), primeiro ângulo de extensão do joelho (Eang), índice de relaxamento (RI) e RI normalizado (RIn). Na perna direita, após avaliação inicial, houve diferença nos grupos de exercício e andador para Fang e Eang e no grupo de esteira para Fang. Após 6 meses, apenas o grupo de andador apresentou diferença para Fang. Na perna esquerda, avaliação inicial, o grupo de andador apresentou diferença para Restang e de esteira para Fang e Rest. Após 6 meses, o grupo de andador apresentou diferença para RI, RIn e Eang e o de esteira para RI e RIn. Na etapa três foram avaliados o índice de massa corporal e a composição corporal através da bioimpedância de indivíduos com LM que praticam ou não atividade física. Foram avaliados 39 pacientes divididos em 4 grupos de acordo com o nível de lesão e a pratica ou não de atividade física. Quando foram comparados os grupos inativos (paraplegiaXtetraplegia) e grupos de tetraplegia (inativoXativo) ocorreram diferenças no percentual de gordura e na massa gorda. Sendo assim, a postura sentada se mostrou mais adequada para realização do teste pendular apesar da redução da espasticidade. Além disso, os protocolos de treinamento utilizando EENM foram efetivos para diminuir da espasticidade em curto prazo. Por último, a atividade física demonstrou ser efetiva para prevenir a obesidade e melhorar a composição corporal de sujeitos com LMAbstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a disease that brings many complications, such as body composition changes and spasticity. The changes in body composition include decreases in lean tissue mass and increases in fat mass. Spasticity is present in about 70% of cases and can be assessed by the pendulum test, although there is no standardized position to testing. Therefore the present study had three objectives: to investigate the influence of three different postures on spasticity results in patients with SCI; to evaluate the effects of different neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) protocols on spasticity in these patients; to assess body composition in individuals with SCI who practice and do not practice physical activity. Because of this the research was divided into three stages. In first stage, five subjects with SCI and five controls went through the pendulum test in three different positions: supine, semi-supine at an angle of 30° and sitting up at an angle of 60°. An electrogoniometer was attached to the right leg for measurement of knee joint angles. Results were compared between different positions and statistically no differences were found. However, results in sitting up position were similar to control group. In second stage, 28 patients with SCI were divided into three groups according to NMES protocols (exercise, walker aided gait, treadmill gait) and evaluated by pendulum test before and after six months training. Evaluations were performed before and after therapy sessions using an electrogoniometer. Measurements were performed in both legs in sitting up position. Parameters analyzed were first knee flexion angle (Fang), resting angle (Restang), first knee extension angle (Eang), relaxation index (RI) and normalized RI (RIn). Initial evaluation for right leg showed differences in exercise and walker aided groups for Fang and Eang and treadmill group for Fang. After six months, only walker aided group showed difference for Fang. Initial evaluation for left leg walker aided group showed significant results for Restang and treadmill group for Fang and Restang. After six months, walker aided group showed differences for RI, RIn and Eang. Treadmill showed differences in RI and RIn. In third stage were evaluated body mass index and body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis in individuals with SCI who practice and do not practice physical activity. 39 patients were divided into four groups according to injury level and physical activity achievement. When inactive groups (paraplegiaXtetraplegia) and tetraplegia groups (inactiveXactive) were compared differences in fat percentage and fat mass were observed. Thus, sitting up position was more suitable for pendulum test assessment despite, the spasticity reduction. Furthermore, NMES protocols were effective to reduce spasticity in short term. Finally, physical activity can prevent obesity and improve body composition in subjects with SCIDoutoradoFisiopatologia CirúrgicaDoutora em Ciências01-P-4354-15CAPE

Stability-indicating RP-LC method for quantification of fusidic acid in cream

Fusidic acid is an antibiotic steroid indicated for the treatment of infections caused by the genus Staphylococcus, including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains, and other Gram-positive bacteria. In the present study, a stability-indicating reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) method was developed and validated for the determination of fusidic acid in dermatological cream as an alternative to existing methods. Analyses were performed using a C18 column and guard column at room temperature, eluting with an isocratic mobile phase of acetonitrile and water (72:28, v/v), adjusted to pH 3.5 with acetic acid, pumped at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min-1, detection at 210 nm and 20 µL of injection volume. The forced degradation study was conducted under acidic, alkaline, neutral, photolytic, and oxidative stress conditions. The method was validated according to ICH and FDA guidelines; it was linear, precise, accurate, selective, and robust over concentrations of 5-95 µg mL-1, with detection and quantification limits of 0.43 and 1.31 μg mL-1, respectively. Therefore, we conclude that this method is suitable for quantifying fusidic acid in pharmaceutical dermatological creams and determining its stability, representing a more economical and practical alternative for routine analysis in quality control
