    Vanillosmopsis erythropappa é um vegetal rico em óleos essenciais, especialmente o á-bisabolol. O objetivo deste estudo foi pesquisar a variação sazonal qualitativa de substâncias naturais, teores de óleos essenciais, cinzas totais, umidade e pH. Os resultados mostraram uma variação de flavonóides, taninos, triterpenóides, esteróides, saponinas, óleos essenciais, cinzas totais, umidade e pH, demonstrando que os aspectos ambientais influenciam o metabolismo dessa espécie. As médias anuais dos valores obtidos foram: óleos essenciais= 0,29 ± 0,09%; cinzas totais= 3,13 ± 0,49%; umidade= 6,56 ± 0,80% e pH= 5,40 ± 0,24

    Abstract The surface characterization of photodegraded poly(ethylene terephthalate) was investigated. Films obtained by bi-axial extrusion were exposed in a laboratory weathering chamber for periods of up to , 1100 h of irradiation. Samples prepared with and without an ultraviolet (UV) absorber were tested by infrared, UV -visible and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results indicated that the unstabilized films are very susceptible to the degradation effects causing a large deterioration, especially in surface layers. The presence of an ultraviolet light absorber effectively reduced the formation of carboxyl end-groups at the surface as well as in the bulk of the films. In the case of samples with UV absorber the fluorescence data showed a barrier imposed by this additive in the formation of the monohydroxy-terephthalate. Scanning electron microcopy of fracture surfaces showed that film ductility is highly reduced after exposure.

    to describe the causes and severities of trauma in patients who met the criteria for alcohol abuse or dependence according to Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, and to display the pattern of alcohol consumption and subsequent changes one year after trauma. a transversal and longitudinal quantitative study carried out between November 2012 and September 2013 in the ED. Medical and nursing students collected blood samples, applied the J section of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) and submitted alcohol abusers and dependents to BI. One year after admission, patients were contacted and asked about their patterns of alcohol use and their reasons for any changes. from a sample of 507 patients admitted to the ED for trauma, 348 responded to MINI, 90 (25.9%) being abusers and 36 (10.3%) dependent on alcohol. Among the abusers, the most frequent cause of injury was motorcycle accident (35.6%) and among the dependents it was predominantly interpersonal violence (22.2%). Positive blood samples for alcohol were identified in 31.7% of the abusers and 53.1% of the dependents. One year after trauma, 66 abusers and 31 dependents were contacted, and it was ascertained that 36.4% of the abusers and 19.4% of the dependents had decreased alcohol consumption. The main reported reason for the reduction was the experienced trauma. the motorcycle accident was the most common cause of injury. The detection of problematic alcohol use and implementation of BI are important strategies in the ED, however for alcohol abusers and dependents, BI was not the most reported reason for any changes in patterns of alcohol use.To describe the causes and severities of trauma in patients who met the criteria for alcohol abuse or dependence according to Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, and to display the pattern of alcohol consumption and subsequent changes one year424202208sem informaçãosem informaçãoAvaliar os mecanismos e a gravidade do trauma em pacientes que preenchessem critérios para abuso ou dependência de álcoo
