Vidas na escuridão

Monografia (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Comunicação, Departamento de Jornalismo, 2013.O presente projeto experimental é uma grande reportagem, em formato de revista, composta por uma matéria introdutória e quatro outras retrancas que detalham a vida dos brasileiros que vivem sem energia elétrica. Os textos trazem dados aliados a histórias humanas. A intenção é mostrar, por meio de entrevistas feitas no interior do Piauí, um dos estados apontados como em situação mais extrema no país quando o assunto é falha na distribuição energética, como vivem cerca de 3,3 milhões de pessoas que ainda não têm acesso ao serviço. A reportagem é acompanhada por um memorial que discorre sobre o processo de produção, apuração, a viagem ao Piauí e a redação do texto, além de trazer as justificativas das decisões tomadas como, por exemplo, o porquê da escolha da grande reportagem ou os motivos que nos levaram a não utilizar, na matéria, a primeira pessoa

Factory Location Decision Making Based on the FUZZY Inference Model

This paper introduces the concept of fuzzy logic, some terms used in this kind of logic, and uses it to evaluate and choose where to deploy factories and other enterprises. In addition, a model is made using the InFuzzy program to evaluate a choice of a location within the Manaus Industrial Pole - PIM, using objective and subjective criteria within the fuzzy logic. This article aims to present the fuzzy logic in the context of production engineering, select the parameters that define the best location, develop models that represent the subject in the study and verify the applicability by simulating other case studies and comparing results

Inhale, exhale: Why particulate matter exposure in animal models are so acute? Data and facts behind the history

We present a dataset obtained by extracting information from an extensive literature search of toxicological experiments using mice and rat animal models to study the effects of exposure to airborne particulate matter (PM). Our dataset covers results reported from 75 research articles considering paper published in 2017 and seminal papers from previous years. The compiled data and normalization were processed with an equation based on a PM dosimetry model. This equation allows the comparison of different toxicological experiments using instillation and inhalation as PM exposure protocols with respect to inhalation rates, concentrations and PM exposure doses of the toxicological experiments performed by different protocols using instillation and inhalation PM as exposure methods. This data complements the discussions and interpretations presented in the research article "Inhale, exhale: why particulate matter exposure in animal models are so acute?"

Calcium Pre-Rinse : effect on permeability of dentin tubules by fluoride rinse

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether calcium (CaL) solution would enhance the capacity of sodium fluoride (NaF) solution in reducing the permeability of hypersensitive dentin. Thirty-two Wistar rats ingested for 45 days acidic isotonic drink (Gatorade, pH 2.7) ad libitum to induce dental erosion. Then, molar teeth received a cold stimulus to confirm the presence and score the intensity of dentin hypersensitivity based on body contraction and noise. Animals were allocated to four groups (n=8), according to the solution(s) applied in the oral cavity: NaF (12 mmol/L, 1 min); CaL (150 mmol/L, 1 min); CaL followed by NaF (CaF+NaF, 1 min each); distilled water (DW, 1 min, as negative control). The animals were euthanized and the mandibles dissected into hemimandibles, which were sealed with sticky wax, except for the occlusal surface of the molar teeth. The samples were immersed in 10% copper sulphate solution and in 1% dithioxamide alcoholic solution (25 min each). The samples were sectioned longitudinally and imaged under optical microscope. Then, dentin permeability was measured as the area of copper ion penetration, using ImageJ software. Photomicrographs were obtained by scanning electron microscopy. 68.7% of animals had body contraction associated or not with noise. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey´s test indicated that groups treated with NaF solution, whether or not preceded by CaL solution, presented lower permeability than the remaining groups [CaL+NaF: 3405.7 ?m2 (±1796.4); NaF: 4111.7 ?m2 (±2450.6); CaL: 42254.6 ?m2 (±30399.2); DW: 37064.6 ?m2 (±21994.4)]. Photomicrographs showed that CaL+NaF group presented an increased proportion of occluded dentin tubules in comparison to the NaF-only group. Although qualitatively there seems to be a benefit in using CaL pre-rinse, this solution did not quantitatively enhance the capacity of NaF in reducing permeability of hypersensitive dentin
