PUERPERAS’ EXPERIENCES ABOUT THE CONTACT WITH THE NEWBORN AND THE BREASTFEEDING ON THE IMMEDIATE POSTPARTUM

Objetivo: analisar a vivência de puérperas primigestas sobre o contato pele a pele com o recém-nascido e a amamentação precoce no pós-parto vaginal imediato em uma maternidade pública de Feira de Santana-Bahia. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, exploratório e qualitativo, realizado com seis puérperas, através de entrevistas semiestruturadas. A coleta dos dados ocorreu de março a abril de 2009, sendo os dados analisados através da Análise de Conteúdo. Resultados: as parturientes vivenciam sentimentos diversos relacionados ao recém-nascido, sentem-se preocupadas com as condições clínicas e não clínicas dos mesmos e são separadas bruscamente do filho em prol da prestação de cuidados com o recém-nascido. Conclusão: a rotina de promoção do contato pele a pele deverá considerar a opinião das mulheres envolvidas nesta prática, já que a simples execução e o seguimento desta não contemplam os princípios da humanização e da excelência do cuidado.

Transketolase catalysed upgrading of l-arabinose: the one-step stereoselective synthesis of l-gluco-heptulose

Conversion of biomass using biocatalysis is likely to become a technology that contributes significantly to the future production of chemical building blocks, materials and transport fuels. Here the synthesis of a value-added chemical from L-arabinose, a major component of the carbohydrates in sugar beet pulp (SBP), in a concise and sustainable manner has been investigated. Biocatalytic conversions using transketolase variants have been developed for the efficient, scalable synthesis of a rare naturally occurring ketoheptose, L-gluco-heptulose, from L-arabinose. New active E. coli TK mutants that readily accept L-arabinose were identified using a versatile colorimetric screening assay and the reaction was performed on a preparative scale

Fatores relevantes na escolha de operadoras de telefonia celular na cidade do Rio de Janeiro

The objective of this article is to evaluate the main factors considered by the consumers of the city of Rio De Janeiro when choosing an operator of cellular telephony. For the survey of the attributes, an exploratory research was done, which consisted of interviews with ten people, being eight consumers and two professionals of the sector. As result of these interviews in depth, it was identified many attributes in offer of services of cellular telephony, having been related the main relevants for the present study: covering, price, mouth-to-mouth propaganda, technology and promotion. To analyze these attributes and its levels the methodology of joint analysis was used. In the quantitative phase, they had been collected given by one survey. A not-probabilist sample was used, for convenience, consisting of 100 people, of both sexes, residents in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The results of the research had shown that the covering was the attribute most important, followed of mouth-to-mouth propaganda, price, promotion and technology, confirming, to a large extent, the gotten perception of the qualitative phase. The implications of these results for the marketing are argued, beyond limitations and suggestions for future research.O objetivo desse artigo é avaliar os fatores relevantes considerados pelos consumidores da cidade do Rio de Janeiro ao escolherem uma operadora de telefonia celular. Para o levantamento dos atributos foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória, a qual consistiu de entrevistas com dez pessoas, sendo oito consumidores e dois profissionais do setor. Como resultado dessas entrevistas em profundidade, foram identificados vários atributos presentes na oferta de serviços de telefonia celular, tendo sido relacionados os mais relevantes para o presente estudo: cobertura, preço, propaganda boca-a-boca, tecnologia e promoção. Para analisar estes atributos e seus níveis foi utilizada a metodologia de análise conjunta. Na fase quantitativa, foram coletados dados por meio de um survey. Foi utilizada uma amostra não-probabilística, por conveniência, constituída de 100 pessoas, de ambos os sexos, residentes na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Os resultados da pesquisa mostraram que a cobertura foi o atributo mais importante, seguido de propaganda boca-a-boca, preço, promoção e tecnologia, confirmando, em grande parte, a percepção obtida da fase qualitativa. São discutidas as implicações destes resultados para o marketing, além de limitações e sugestões para futuras pesquisas
