The use of prototyping in the design process - a tool to obtain the rationalization of solid construction waste

This paper is part of the study on sustainability in the construction sector based on an analysis about the use of prototyping in design and architectural design development process to enhance efficiency in the execution for work performance and decreasing considerably the production of waste solids, thus underscoring the importance to mitigate environmental impacts today. This article aims to demonstrate how the use of prototyping in construction can improve the design process and planning implementation. The methodology was based on the design base elaboration with the modular coordination with the its components connection and then the materialization do some through. 3D printing experimentation,what made possible to observe that even though there were no conclusive results, the procedure was satisfactory, and prototyping provided improvements in design process planning and pointed some mistakes even during the projetual phase

Avaliação do consumo de alimentos fontes de cálcio e a frequência de doenças ósseas em idosos atendidos na policlínica da terceira idade do município de Caruaru

O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a ingestão diária de cálcio e verificar a frequência de doenças ósseas em idosos atendidos na policlínica da terceira idade do município de Caruaru/PE. Foi aplicado um questionário de frequência alimentar (QFA) para avaliar a ingestão diária de cálcio. Verificou-se que dos participantes 61,49% apresentaram doenças ósseas, sendo 95,60% do sexo feminino e 4,40% do sexo masculino. Em relação ao consumo de leite e seus derivados foi visto uma baixa ingestão diária. Já sobre os vegetais, observou-se que a população estudada apresentou um consumo de 36,49% de alface. Dessa forma, pode-se observar que os resultados mostraram que há uma necessidade na elaboração de novos estudos que pesquisem de maneira mais detalhada o consumo de cálcio nessa população. Além de atuarem visualizando a implementação de políticas públicas voltadas para a população idosa garantindo tanto a informação da importância desse nutriente como a criação de programas de suplementação do cálcio

Influence of obesity on the clinical improvement of tracheal and bronchial collapse in dogs: a case report

Tracheal collapse is the most common progressive affection of the anterior pathways in small animals. The most common clinical symptom is a “goose honk” cough in cases of tracheal collapse and inspiratory discomfort in cases of cervical collapse. The diagnosis is based on the history, physical examination, and imaging tests, notably chest radiography and endoscopic examination. Treatment can be clinical or surgical depending on the degree of collapse. Obesity currently affects several domestic animals and predisposes them to respiratory disorders. The overlapping adipose tissue presses on the muscles of the trachea, aggravating the collapse and influencing the lung compliance and expansion. The present report describes the clinical improvement in an obese canine with tracheal and bronchial collapse after clinical management and therapeutic ration
