    Dissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Tecnologia, Departamento de Engenharia Civil e Ambiental, 2018.A pesquisa procura compreender a articulação entre uso do solo, rede de transportes e configuração (forma urbana) na formação das centralidades urbanas. O objetivo é desenvolver um estudo para verificação do potencial de promoção de novas centralidades em zonas servidas por estações de transporte de massa. A partir da investigação do espaço urbano como um sistema, formado pela interação de fenômenos que se processam nas escalas local e global, as concentrações responsáveis pela estrutura urbana foram investigadas dentro dos conceitos propostos em estudos de natureza econômica, comportamento de viagens e ambiente construído, e de análise configuracional com base nas ferramentas da Sintaxe Espacial. A metodologia aplicada permitiu calcular matematicamente, por meio das regularidades manifestadas na associação de variáveis representativas das três dimensões propostas pela pesquisa, o potencial de geração de viagens de uma determinada zona a fim de identificar áreas no tecido urbano com possibilidade de intensificação de usos e desenvolvimento de novos núcleos de atividades.The research seeks to understand the articulation between land use, transport network and configuration (urban form) in the growth of urban centralities. The main goal is to develop a study to verify the potential of promoting new centralities in areas served by transit stations. From the investigation of the urban space as a system, shaped by global and local phenomena, the concentrations responsible for the urban structure were investigated within the concepts proposed in the studies of economic nature, travel behavior and built environment, and of configurational analysis based on the tools of Space Syntax. The applied methodology allowed to calculate mathematically, through the regularities manifested by the association of variables representative of the three dimensions proposed by the research, the potential of trip generation in a determined zone in order to identify the areas in the urban fabric with the possibility of intensification of uses and development of new activities

    Objective: The objective of the present study was to evaluate adherence to antiretroviral treatment for AIDS patients. Method: This is a quantitative study, field, and descriptive, at Reference Center for infectious diseases in Natal/RN, from August 2010 to July 2011. Data were collected through medical records, interviews and the pharmacy dispensing records. Results: Participated in the study 402 patients, among whom (70,2%) were male, the mean age was 35 years, and 90,0 had been diagnosed of HIV infection between 1 to 5 years. It was observed that 30% of the patients adhered to treatment. Conclusion: The Adherence in the present study are lower than those recommended in the literature, to increase adherence to ART is essential to carry out strategies to increase awareness and user engagement

    Objective: To evaluate adolescents' knowledge, public school students in the city of Natal/RN, about transmission, prevention and risk behavior regarding STD/HIV/AIDS. Methods: Descriptive study with a quantitative approach carried out from March to December 2013 with 222 students of a public school in the city of Natal, Northeastern Brazil. Data were collected from a semi-structured questionnaire answered in the classroom. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee in Research of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, CAAE: 13831113.6.0000.5537. Prior written consent was obtained from parents or caregivers and adolescents. The inclusion criteria consisted of the student being regularly enrolled in school, in high school, and agree to participate voluntarily in the research. Results: The study found significant levels of ignorance about transmission, prevention and treatment of AIDS, and elucidated some risk behaviors that make young people vulnerable to STD/AIDS. Conclusion: Sexual orientation programs in schools are needed to encourage adolescents for a safe sexual behavior, healthier and less exposed to risk

    Bortolin site, a new fossiliferous locality in the triassic (Ladinian/carnian) of southern brazil

    Get PDF
    A new fossiliferous site from the Pinheiros-Chiniquá Sequence (Santa Maria Supersequence) with typical tetrapod components of the Dinodontosaurus Assemblage Zone (AZ) is here described. The new site is included in the Faxinal do Soturno Structural Block. The fossil content is characterized by cranial and postcranial material of rauisuchian archosaurs, traversodontid and chiniquodontid cynodonts and dicynodonts, the first occurrence of a large-sized coelacanth fish in the Brazilian Triassic, as well as ichnological material, represented by coprolites. The presence of Luangwa together with Massetognathus raises interesting questions regarding the age of this site included in the Dinodontosaurus AZ when compared with other localities of Southern Brazil, western Argentina and Africa. As in other localities of this AZ, the fossil specimens recovered in Bortolin site exhibit remarkable differences on their fossil preservation: those from the lower portion of the outcrop (distal floodplain) possess a heterogeneous preservation (variable between poor to fairly good) whereas those from the top levels (proximal floodplain) are comparatively better preserved. This new locality, with a large amount of stratigraphically controlled fossils, constitutes a key-locality to study the distribution of Triassic terrestrial tetrapods and to perform comparisons with other sites of this AZ, in which several historical records lack a precise provenance.– Um novo sítio fossilífero é descrito para a Sequência Pinheiros-Chiniquá (Supersequência Santa Maria) com tetrápodes típicos da Zona de Associação (ZA) de Dinodontosaurus. Este novo sítio está incluído no Bloco Estrutural Faxinal do Soturno. O conteúdo fóssil é caracterizado por materiais cranianos e pós-cranianos de arcossauros rauissuquídeos, cinodontes chiniquodontídeos e traversodontídeos e dicinodontes, a primeira ocorrência de um peixe celacanto de grande tamanho, além de materiais icnológicos, representados por coprólitos. A presença de Luangwa juntamente com Massetognathus levanta interessantes questões acerca da idade desse sítio, incluído na ZA de Dinodontosaurus, quando comparado com outras localidades do sul do Brasil, oeste da Argentina e África. Assim como em outras localidades desta ZA, os espécimes fósseis coletados no sítio Bortolin apresentam diferenças notáveis na preservação dos fósseis: fósseis do nível inferior do afloramento (planície de inundação distal) apresentam preservação heterogênea (variando entre pobre a razoavelmente bem preservado) enquanto que nos níveis superiores (planície de inundação proximal), o registro fóssil é comparativamente melhor preservado. Esta nova localidade, com uma grande quantidade de fósseis estratigraficamente controlados, constitui uma localidade chave para o estudo da distribuição dos tetrápodes terrestres do Triássico e sua comparação com outros sítios desta ZA, na qual vários registros históricos carecem de uma proveniência precisa.Fil: Branco Pavanatto, Ane Elise.

    Afinidades entre marxismo e cristianismo da libertação: uma análise dialético-compreensiva

    Get PDF
    As apropriações de conceitos da teoria marxista por parte de teólogos da libertação da Igreja Católica parecem uma relação em princípio problemática. Entretanto, o conceito de afinidade eletiva de Weber, por meio das interpretações de Löwy, possibilita uma abordagem original desta relação. O conceito de afinidade eletiva na perspectiva de Löwy permite identificar o sentido no qual algumas categorias marxistas são apropriadas em forte confluência nos marcos cristianismo de libertação. Para isto, em uma análise bibliográfica referenciada na obra do sociólogo franco-brasileiro apresentamos o desenvolvimento do conceito de afinidade eletiva na tradição webero-marxista sob o olhar de Löwy, em seguida os principais conceitos de Marx em confluência com a teologia da libertação e apresentamos uma tentativa de aplicação do quadro formulado
