- Obstipação: caracterização do atendimento prestado por profissionais de farmácia em farmácias comunitárias do distrito de LisboaPublication . Coelho, André; Costa, Ana Margarida; Massas, C.; Motas, T.; Sereno, B.A obstipação aguda simples caracteriza-se como sendo uma situação clínica de duração não superior a três a cinco dias, em que o indivíduo apresenta algum desconforto abdominal, mas não manifesta nenhum outro sintoma mais grave. O que requer o atendimento em farmácia comunitária? Fazer um plano do atendimento, avaliação clínica do doente, registar os elementos principais da avaliação clínica, resumir e decidir o tratamento, aconselhamento. Objectivo do estudo: caracterizar o atendimento efectuado por profissionais de farmácia que exercem funções em farmácias comunitárias do distrito de Lisboa, perante uma situação simulada de obstipação aguda simples, com recurso à utilização de uma grelha de observação.
- Da condição da génese do erro em enfermagem à segurança do cliente em serviços de urgênciaPublication . Caldas, Luísa da Conceição Murcho Matado; Nunes, Lucília MartinsO actual contexto de mudança rápida das organizações de saúde, aliado ao desenvolvimento das tecnologias médicas e terapêuticas, impele-nos a um questionamento constante dos aspectos relativos às práticas de cuidados em geral e às “más práticas” em particular, numa perspectiva de melhoria contínua da sua qualidade. O presente trabalho, Da Condição da Génese do Erro em Enfermagem à Segurança do Cliente em Serviços de Urgência, teve como objectivos descrever o contexto da génese do erro nas práticas de enfermagem em Serviços de Urgência e as atitudes dos enfermeiros face ao erro, assim como propor um projecto de intervenção tendente à sua diminuição e ao aumento da segurança dos clientes. Tratou-se de um Estudo de Caso de carácter exploratório-descritivo, no qual participaram os enfermeiros das equipas da Urgência Geral e da Urgência Pediátrica de um Hospital da região de Lisboa. Como estratégias geradoras de dados optou-se por questionários e entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Na análise das evidências recolhidas por questionário fez-se uso da distribuição de frequências e da média, enquanto no tratamento das narrativas efectuou-se análise de conteúdo. A procura do aumento da compreensão do fenómeno erro em enfermagem permitiu a identificação dos tipos de erros que decorreram durante as práticas, a visão e atitudes dos enfermeiros face ao erro, assim como a sua perspectiva do erro e do cuidar e das práticas de cuidados seguros.
- A percepção dos profissionais de saúde face ao exercício físico em transplantados renaisPublication . Batista, J.; Ferreira, S.; Lopes, Dina; Tomás, Maria Teresa; Martins, A.; Carolino, Elisabete; Coutinho, Maria IsabelO exercício físico (EF) em transplantados renais (TR) é um tema que tem vindo a sofrer alterações ao longo dos tempos. Inicialmente prevalecia o princípio da minimização do risco, em que se procurava proteger o órgão transplantado de possíveis riscos decorrentes do EF. Presentemente valoriza-se a maximização dos diversos benefícios que o EF pode proporcionar a esta população especial. Contudo, estudos revelam, geralmente, baixas percentagens de transplantados a realizar EF. Estes estudos atribuem ainda grande parte da responsabilidade deste facto aos profissionais de saúde, pois nem todos incorporam a promoção do EF na sua prática.

- Paleomagnetic study of the Great Foum Zguid dyke (southern Morocco): A positive contact test related to metasomatic processesPublication . Silva, Pedro; Henry, B.; Marques, Fernando O.; Madureira, P.; Miranda, Jorge MiguelWhen a paleomagnetic pole is sought for in an igneous body, the host rocks should be subjected to a contact test to assure that the determined paleopole has the age of the intrusion. If the contact test is positive, it precludes the possibility that the measured magnetization is a later effect. Therefore, we investigated the variations of the remanent magnetization along cross-sections of rocks hosting the Foum Zguid dyke (southern Morocco) and the dyke itself. A positive contact test was obtained, but it is mainly related with Chemical/Crystalline Remanent Magnetization due to metasomatic processes in the host-rocks during magma intrusion and cooling, and not only with Thermo-Remanent Magnetization as ordinarily assumed in standard studies. Paleomagnetic data obtained within the dyke then reflect the Earth magnetic field during emplacement of this well-dated (196.9 +/- 1.8 Ma) intrusion.
- Colour filtering in a-SiC : H based p-i-n-p-i-n cells: A trade-off between bias polarity and absorption regionsPublication . Vieira, Manuela; Fantoni, Alessandro; Louro, Paula; Fernandes, Miguel; Martins, J.; Schwarz, R.; Lavareda, G.; Carvalho, C. N.A large area colour imager optically addressed is presented. The colour imager consists of a thin wide band gap p-i-n a-SiC:H filtering element deposited on the top of a thick large area a-SiC:H(-p)/a-Si:H(-i)/a-SiC:H(-n) image sensor, which reveals itself an intrinsic colour filter. In order to tune the external applied voltage for full colour discrimination the photocurrent generated by a modulated red light is measured under different optical and electrical bias. Results reveal that the integrated device behaves itself as an imager and a filter giving information not only on the position where the optical image is absorbed but also on it wavelength and intensity. The amplitude and sign of the image signals are electrically tuneable. In a wide range of incident fluxes and under reverse bias, the red and blue image signals are opposite in sign and the green signal is suppressed allowing blue and red colour recognition. The green information is obtained under forward bias, where the blue signal goes down to zero and the red and green remain constant. Combining the information obtained at this two applied voltages a RGB colour image picture can be acquired without the need of the usual colour filters or pixel architecture. A numerical simulation supports the colour filter analysis.
- A cultural conception of communicationPublication . Subtil, Filipa Mónica de Brito GonçalvesOver the course of the twentieth century, at the same time as “communitarian” ties were being dissolved, information flows became omnipresent. People sought to connect to the world by dealing with long sequences of news and mass media entertainment, through images on the screen and, in the last decades, with the Internet and mobile telecommunications. The Media and information technologies have penetrated the most diverse areas of public and private life, changing our consciousness and our feelings and the whole meaning of social relationships. What today goes by the name of information, besides being a multifaceted reality that has broken down the limits of journalism and those of the Mass media itself, has become the basis of a powerful, international sector of the economy. At a time when, apparently, we have the right degree of freedom and extraordinary technical means to expand those qualitative aspects which are crucial to a good society, such as communication and culture, there are increasingly loud voices questioning the role of the mass media in creating a public arena guided by what Max Weber called ethical or substantive rationality. For many, the discussion with contrasting opinions and the exchange of reasoned arguments have been severely compromised by a flow of information which promotes the supremacy of the visual over the intelligible, the decay of abstract thought and of clear, distinct ideas, encouraging an icon mania, or a passion for the image. Overall, all these have been reducing the potentialities opened up by the modern world to their merely strategic elements. In this essay, while not doubting those negative effects of developments in the information sphere, I seek to understand the persistence of certain ways of thinking about modern society which neither accepts that communication can be reduced to the mere handing over of commoditised information, nor is limited to highlighting the perverse effects of reason and technology progress. My argument takes into account the perennial aspects of communication, namely participatory experience, contact, sharing, commonality, and the establishing of reflexive ties over time between the community and its cultural context. The aim of this research is to contribute to a renewal of a civic, universal and cultural notion of communication. This renewal may usefully draw on neglected ideas such as those of the Chicago School in the 1920s, of the Canadian thinker Harold Innis (1894-1952), the American scholar James Carey and the French Philippe Breton (a sharp critic of the idea of information cybernetics). In the context of the shifts and changes of our age, this type of thinking has significant potential to increasing awareness that communication is only possible by means of those modalities which create experience and the feeling of belonging to a community. The method used in this work tries to answer the following fundamental questions: Within the present omnipresence of the media, aren’t we giving too much importance to the interaction between the human being and the machine, and being driven to a process of social barring? Won’t the informational inflation, under the icon mania, drive us to the exclusion of the individual over himself? Won’t the idea of utopian characteristics in the information society, based on the interaction of the multiple media, constitute another technological utopia, where one waits that technology does what social transformation should have done? The chosen methodology is based on the interpretation and critical debate of the key articles of the referred theorists and studies. The ultimate objective of this debate, following Jeffrey Alexander’s (1988) proposal, is to clarify specific rules and requirements that may give meaning to the chosen texts.
