Implantação de prestadora de serviços para cobrança de honorários de anestesiologistas

Orientador: Pedro Steiner NetoMonografia (Especialização) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas, Curso de Especialização em Estratégia e Gestão EmpresarialResumo: Este projeto propõe dentro de padrões éticos, técnicos e científicos a prestação de serviços de procedimentos administrativos financeiros, viabilizando a cobrança, o recebimento e o controle de honorários do médico anestesiologista. O interesse por esta área específica da medicina, ocorreu através da observação da carência do controle financeiro deste profissional com o resultado da realização de seus procedimentos. Com jornada de trabalho indefinida, não dispõe de estrutura organizacional qualificada para tal serviço. O anestesiologista trabalha essencialmente no centro cirúrgico e ambulatório de pré anestésico, não entrando em contato financeiro com o seu cliente, apenas assistindo-o como paciente. A relação profissional financeira se dá na maioria das vezes através da administração do hospital onde esta sendo realizado o ato médico, ficando muito prejudicada pelo fato desta categoria médica trabalhar geralmente como autônomos sem qualquer vínculo empregatício com estas entidades de saúde. A COPAN (Cooperativa Paranaense de Anestesiologistas) representa os anestesiologistas perante os convênios médicos, minimizando esforços para interesses coletivos de seus associados, como a intermediação dos valores de honorários, contratos com novos convênios, controle dos pagamentos, assim como as soluções para as divergências surgidas durante o processo de cobrança e recebimentos dos convênios cadastrados pela cooperativa. Sugere-se ainda uma parceria com a cooperativa, maximizando a qualidade e assessoria na prestação de serviços ao médic

Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Físicas e Matemáticas.Novos complexos binucleares de cobre(II) foram sintetizados e caracterizados: [Cu2(H2bbppnol)(m-CH3COO)(H2O)2]Cl2.2H2O (1), [Cu2(H2bbppnol)(m-CH3COO)(m-ClO4)]ClO4·H2O·EtOAc (2), [Cu2(Hbbppnol)(H2O)4](ClO4)2×2CH3OH (3), [Cu2(Hbtppnol)(m-CH3COO)](ClO4)2 (4), [Cu2(tppnol)(m-CH3COO)](ClO4)2 (5) [Cu2(Hbtppnol)OH](ClO4)2 (6) e [Cu2(Hbtppnol)(m-(NO2-C6H4)PO4)](ClO4) (7). Os complexos (1) e (4) são os primeiros a apresentar a coordenação axial de grupos fenóis protonados a centros binucleares de cobre(II) servindo como modelos estruturais para o intermediário enzima-substrato no mecanismo de hidroxilação de monofenóis promovida pela tirosinase. Os bons resultados obtidos na modelagem estrutural conduziu-nos ao estudo dos complexos frente a substratos adequados. Os complexos foram testados e mostraram atividade frente ao substrato 3,5-di-terc-butilcatecol numa reação modelo para a atividade de catecolase desempenhada pelas enzimas tirosinase e catecol oxidase, e frente ao substrato bis(2,4-dinitrofenil)fosfato numa reação modelo para hidrolases

Initial Perception of Virtual World Users: A Study about Impacts of Learning Styles and Digital Experience

Virtual Worlds emerge as three-dimensional environments that have the potential to stimulate advances in the educational field by promoting interactivity, freedom and autonomy for students. However, its effective adoption in educational institutions is still considered very limited, and few studies have so far sought to identify more specific causes for such limitation. This research aims to contribute to the theme through a preliminary study about the impact of individual characteristics of learning styles and digital experience on users’ initial perception about 3D Virtual Worlds. An experiment was conducted with a sample consisting of potential influencers in the decision making process for adoption of this type of approach, being composed by professionals from educational area that experimented a 3D virtual laboratory for the first time. As a result, some insights about the mentioned characteristics’ influence on user first impression are identified and some potential adjustments necessary to better fit different profiles are suggested, envisioning to disseminate theuse of Virtual Worlds in Education

Synthesis of supported metal nanoparticle catalysts using ligand assisted methods

The synthesis and characterization methods of metal nanoparticles (NPs) have advanced greatly in the last few decades, allowing an increasing understanding of structure-property-performance relationships. However, the role played by the ligands used as stabilizers for metal NPs synthesis or for NPs immobilization on solid supports has been underestimated. Here, we highlight some recent progress in the preparation of supported metal NPs with the assistance of ligands in solution or grafted on solid supports, a modified deposition-reduction method, with special attention to the effects on NPs size, metal-support interactions and, more importantly, catalytic activities. After presenting the general strategies in metal NP synthesis assisted by ligands grafted on solid supports, we highlight some recent progress in the deposition of pre-formed colloidal NPs on functionalized solids. Another important aspect that will be reviewed is related to the separation and recovery of NPs. Finally, we will outline our personal understanding and perspectives on the use of supported metal NPs prepared through ligand-assisted methods.FAPESPCAPESCNPqINCT-Catalis

An OWL-Based Ontology to Represent Interactions of Students in Educational Virtual Worlds

While several studies in the last decade explore the potential benefits of virtual worlds in education settings, less attention has been given to the research of solutions to help overcome implementation barriers. One of the existing areas of concern is related to the difficulties on the exploitation of data obtained from educational virtual worlds. This paper proposes an OWL-based ontology to address a solution to the problem of inconsistency of databases that record information about student interactions with learning objects within these environments. The steps that have been followed for the development of the ontology are described, guided by Stanford’s 101 model. To discuss the feasibility and exemplify the ontology, an instance of an existing virtual world interaction is presented. The conclusion is that the proposed ontology can be helpful to researchers and development groups as it delivers a reusable model to gather data in a uniform way

Engineering design : eicosane microcapsules synthesis and application in polyurethane foams aiming to diminish wheelchair cushion effect on skin temperature

Thermal comfort of wheelchairs still requires improvements, since users remain on the chair for as long as 12 h a day. Increased sweating makes the skin more susceptible to colonization by fungi and bacteria, and may cause pressure ulcers. In this sense, the microencapsulation of Phase-Change Materials (PCMs) may help to enhance wheelchair cushion comfort by regulating heat exchange. This study describes the production of PCM microcapsules and their application in flexible polyurethane foams after expansion, and assesses improvements in heat exchange. Microcapsules with eicosane core coated with melamine-formaldehyde were produced. Eicosane is a thermoregulation agent whose phase-change temperature is near that of the human body’s. Microcapsules were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Then, microcapsules were applied on polyurethane foams by vacuum filtration and high-pressure air gun. Samples were exposed to a heat source and analysed by infrared thermography. The results indicate that thermal load increased in samples treated with microcapsules, especially by pressure air gun, and show that it is possible to enhance thermal comfort in wheelchair seats. Thereby, this study contributes to enhance quality of life for wheelchair users, focusing on thermal comfort provided by cushion seats made from PU foam

The Temer government and the suffocation of the processes of democratization of education

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar discussões sobre o atual governo de Michel Temer que, desde o golpe parlamentar e empresarial de 2016, está cada vez mais próximo do setor privado mercantil na criação de políticas educacionais, no Brasil, aprofundando a naturalização da incorporação da associação entre os setores público e o privado. O presente estudo explora evidências do redimensionamento de políticas em curso a partir do Ministério da Educação, da Base Nacional Comum Curricular, da ação da Conferência Nacional de Educação – CONAE e do Fórum Nacional de Educação. A partir de fontes bibliográficas e de pesquisa documental, constata-se que esse governo é aliado e apoiado pelo setor privado mercantil com o qual articula propostas, ampliando a ação do mercado na educação pública brasileira, tanto na proposição quanto na implantação de políticas, e, ao mesmo tempo, vem tomando medidas que asfixiam os processos de participação e de democratização da educação.This article aims to present discussions about the current government of Michel Temer that, since the parliamentary and business coup of 2016, is increasingly close to the private sector mercantil in the creation of educational policies in Brazil, deepening the naturalization of the incorporation of the association between the public and private sectors. The present study explores evidence of the resizing of policies in progress from the Ministry of Education, the National Curricular Common Base, the action of the National Conference of Education - CONAE and the National Forum of Education. Based on bibliographical sources and documental research, it can be seen that this government is allied and supported by the private commercial sector with which it articulates proposals, expanding the market action in brazilian public education, both in proposition and in the implementation of policies, and, at the same time, has been taking measures that stifle the processes of participation and democratization of education
