The present study aimed to evaluate the hematological, biochemical and hemogasometric changes in caprine blood stored in CPDA-1 and CPD/SAG-M bags. Seven male, adult, neutered, mixed breed goats weighing an average of 45kg were used. From each animal, 25% of the estimated total blood volume was collected into two plastic bags, one containing CPDA-1 and another with CPD/SAG-M; next they were stored for 42 days. Hematological (number of erythrocytes, packed cell volume, total and plasmatic hemoglobin, degree of hemolysis, mean cell volume, leukocytes), biochemical (glucose, lactate, sodium, potassium, total plasma protein), hemogasometric (pH, bicarbonate, partial pressure of oxygen, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, oxygen saturation, base deficit, total carbon dioxide) and microbiological evaluations were performed in seven moments (T), T0 (immediately after sampling), T7 (seven days), T14 (fourteen days), T21 (twenty-one days) , T28 (twenty-eight days), T35 (thirty-five days) and T42 (forty-two days after sampling). In the two bags there was an increase of plasmatic hemoglobin, degree of hemolysis, lactate, pO2 and a decrease of total hemoglobin and pH. In the bags there was no alteration in the erythrocyte count, glucose, sodium, potassium or partial pressure of carbon dioxide. In the comparison with the CPDA-1, the CPD/SAG-M bag had lower erythrocytes, packed cell volume, total hemoglobin and sodium, as well as higher levels of hemolysis and plasmatic hemoglobin. The changes observed in the caprine blood stored for 42 days in CPDA-1 and CPD/SAG-M bags were not sufficient to invalidate their use as a therapeutic resource, however, it has been found that it is preferable to use CPDA-1 bags for the conservation of caprine blood
O presente trabalho objetivou fazer avaliação hematológica, bioquímica e hemogasométrica do sangue caprino armazenado em bolsas CPDA-1 e CPD/SAG-M. Foram utilizados 7 caprinos machos, adultos, castrados, sem raça definida, pesando em média 45kg. O sangue foi coletado em duas bolsas plásticas, uma contendo CPDA-1 e outra CPD/SAG-M, sendo armazenadas durante 42 dias. Realizou-se avaliações hematológicas (número de eritrócitos, volume globular, hemoglobina total e plasmática, grau de hemólise, volume corpuscular médio, leucócitos), variáveis bioquímicas (glicose, lactato, sódio, potássio, proteínas totais), variáveis hemogasométricas (pH, bicarbonato, pressão parcial de oxigênio e de dióxido de carbono, saturação de oxigênio, déficit de base, dióxido de carbono total) e microbiologia, em sete momentos (T), sendo T0 (imediatamente após a coleta), T7 (sete dias), T14 (quatorze dias), T21 (vinte e um dias), T28 (vinte e oito dias), T35 (trinta e cinco dias) e T42 (quarenta e dois dias após a coleta). Nas duas bolsas houve aumento da hemoglobina plasmática, grau de hemólise, lactato, pressão parcial de oxigênio, redução de hemoglobina total e pH. Nas bolsas não houve variação no número de eritrócitos, glicose, sódio, potássio e pressão parcial de dióxido de carbono. Na comparação com a CPDA-1, a bolsa CPD/SAG-M apresentou menores valores de eritrócitos, VG, hemoglobina total e sódio, e maiores valores de grau de hemólise e hemoglobina plasmática. As alterações observadas no sangue caprino armazenado durante 42 dias, em bolsas CPDA-1 e CPD/SAG-M, não foram suficientes para invalidar seu uso como recurso terapêutico

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of lipid peroxidation on decrease of erythrocyte viability in total blood of cats stored in plastic bags containing CPDA-1 (citrate phosphate dextrose adenine) and CPD / SAG-M (citrate, phosphate, dextrose, saline, adenine, glucose, mannitol) for 28 days. It was also analyzed the biochemical and hematological parameters of feline blood throughout the storage period. To this end, were used 12 cats, adult, healthy, male and female, mixed breed, weighing on average 3.5 ± 0.6 kg. The animals were randomly divided into two experimental groups, designated G1 and G2, which was collected on average 15 mL/kg of blood, and stored in bags for shipment of blood products. For the preservation of blood it was used to G1 and G2 CPDA-1 and CPD / SAG-M, respectively. The blood was kept under refrigeration (1-6 ° C) for 28 days and samples were taken for analysis weekly. These rates were evaluated for lipid peroxidation measured by TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances), erythrocytes peroxidation in vitro, concentrations of potassium (K +) , lactate, glucose and extracellular hemoglobin, erythrocyte count, hematocrit (Ht), hemoglobin (Hb) and total plasma protein (TPP) Through these evaluations it was found that the lactate, potassium and extracellular hemoglobin are effective parameters to evaluate the quality of stored blood to felines and the analysis of TBARS applies to prove the association of lipid peroxidation decreased the viability of blood, also for the felines. Moreover, CPD/SAG-M was more efficient than CPDA-1 in maintaining the viability of the feline blood after 14 days in a storage period of 28 days.
Esse estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a influência da peroxidação lipídica sobre a diminuição da viabilidade eritrocitária no sangue total de gatos, armazenado em bolsas plásticas contendo CPDA-1 (citrato, fosfato, dextrose, adenina) e CPD/SAG-M (citrato, fosfato, dextrose, salina, adenina glicose, manitol) durante de 28 dias. Também se buscou analisar os parâmetros bioquímicos e hematológicos do sangue felino durante todo o período de armazenamento. Para tal, foram utilizados 12 gatos, adultos, hígidos, de ambos os sexos, sem raça definida (s.r.d.), pesando em média 3,5±0,6 kg. Os animais foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em dois grupos experimentais, denominados G1 e G2, dos quais se coletou em média 15 mL/kg de sangue, e armazenou-se em bolsas para transferência de hemoderivados. Para a conservação do sangue do G1 foi utilizado CPDA-1 e, para o G2, utilizou-se CPD/SAG-M. O sangue foi mantido sob refrigeração (1 a 6ºC) durante 28 dias e foram retiradas amostras para análise semanalmente. Essas alíquotas foram avaliadas quanto à peroxidação lipídica, medida através de TBARS (substâncias que reagem ao ácido tiobarbitúrico), peroxidação de eritrócitos in vitro concentrações de potássio (K+), lactato, glicose e hemoglobina extracelular, contagem total de eritrócitos, hematócrito (Ht), hemoglobina (Hb), e proteínas plasmáticas totais (PPT) Por meio dessas avaliações constatou-se que os níveis de lactato, potássio e hemoglobina extracelular são eficientes parâmetros para avaliação da qualidade do sangue estocado para e espécie felina e que a análise de TBARS é válida para comprovar a associação da peroxidação lipídica à diminuição da viabilidade sanguínea, também para a espécie felina. Além disso, CPD/SAG-M mostrou-se mais eficiente que CPDA-1 na manutenção da viabilidade do sangue felino a partir do 14o dia, em um período de estocagem de 28 dias.

Abstract:

O curto tempo de armazenamento dos hemocomponentes é um dos fatores que dificulta e limita a quantidade de sangue que pode ser efetivamente armazenada, o que é uma desvantagem na medicina veterinária, pois o acesso a doadores é restrito e a demanda é contínua e cada vez maior na prática de clínicas e hospitais veterinários. Durante o armazenamento do sangue em baixas temperaturas, seja sob a forma de sangue total ou concentrado de eritrócitos, há uma queda intensa de metabólitos importantes para a viabilidade e funcionalidade dos eritrócitos. O desenvolvimento de meios e soluções de preservação sanguínea possibilitou o armazenamento dos eritrócitos e, consequentemente, facilitou o trabalho dos bancos de sangue. Portanto, a busca por melhores formas e soluções para preservação capazes de evitar ou diminuir estes efeitos prejudiciais durante o seu armazenamento é contínua, para que ao final se obtenha uma melhor qualidade do sangue transfundido. O presente trabalho avaliou o concentrado de eritrócitos felino armazenado na solução de CPDA-1 e CPD/SAGM durante 35 dias. Os dados laboratoriais foram comparados entre grupos e ao longo do tempo. Neste experimento foram utilizadas 10 bolsas de concentrado de eritrócitos felino divididos em dois grupos de cinco para avaliação de cada um dos aditivos. Os parâmetros laboratoriais K+, Na+, Cl-, lactato, HCO3-, amônia, glicose e pH foram avaliados nos dias 1, 7, 14, 21, 28 e 35 após a coleta. Vários parâmetros (K+, lactato, HCO3, glicose e cloreto) demonstraram que a solução CPD/SAGM manteve o metabolismo energético do eritrócito mais estável. Com este trabalho, foi possível entender melhor as alterações metabólicas sofridas pelos eritrócitos felinos durante o armazenamento. Concluímos que, apesar da solução CPD/SAGM se mostrar mais eficaz in vitro, são necessários mais estudos com relação aos hemocomponentes em gatos e à sua viabilidade pós-transfusional.
The short shelf life of blood products is one factor that complicates and limits the amount of blood that can be effectively stored, and it is a disadvantage in veterinary practice, because the access to donors is restricted and the demand is continuous and increasing at veterinary clinics and hospitals. During blood storage at low temperatures, either as whole blood or as packed red cells, there is a significant decrease of metabolites that are important for the viability and functionality of erythrocytes. The development of blood preservation solutions has enabled the storage of red blood cells and improved the service at the blood banks. Therefore, the search for better ways and blood preservation solutions to avoid or reduce these harmful effects during the storage conditions is continuous, in order to obtain the best blood product to be transfused. This study evaluated 10 bags of feline erythrocyte concentrate divided into two groups, stored in CPDA-1 and CPD/SAGM solutions during 35 days. The laboratory data were compared between groups and over time. K+, Na+, Cl-, lactate, HCO3-, ammonia, glucose and pH were assessed on days 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 after collection. On various parameters (K+, Cl-, HCO3-, glucose and lactate) solution of CPD/SAGM kept the energy metabolism of red blood cells more stable. With these results we can better understand the biochemical changes of feline erythrocytes during storage. We conclude that, although the CPD/SAGM solution shown to be more effective, more studies are needed to improve knowledge of feline blood components and post-transfusion viability.

Abstract:

A medicina transfusional utiliza o sangue como ferramenta terapêutica suporte para diversas doenças, e vários estudos justificam o uso de hemocomponentes em detrimento de sangue total. A estocagem e a manipulação do sangue podem acarretar alterações funcionais de seus subprodutos, e a transfusão de hemácias estocadas por longos períodos pode ocasionar danos ao receptor. Portanto, embora a manutenção do estoque de componentes eritrocitários seja necessária, o armazenamento sanguíneo pode reduzir a função das hemácias transfundidas e causar reações transfusionais indesejadas, fato que estimula o desenvolvimento de novas soluções e aditivos extras, culminando com hemocomponentes mais seguros e com maior tempo de validade. Este estudo teve o objetivo de avaliar as alterações na composição bioquímica e hemogasométrica que pudessem ser imputadas na ocorrência de lesões de armazenamento no concentrado de hemácias (CH) canino em decorrência do tipo de solução preservativa utilizada (citrato, fosfato, dextrose e adenina [CPDA-1] ou com o citrato, fosfato, dextrose com solução extra de adenina, glicose e manitol [CPD/SAG-M]). Um segundo objetivo foi avaliar se a redução de leucócitos do CH impactaria de forma decisiva a estocagem do CH. Para tanto foram comparados valores referentes à pressão de oxigênio (PO2), pressão de dióxido de carbono (PCO2), saturação de oxigênio (SO2), pH, taxa de hemólise, glicose, sódio e potássio extracelulares. As bolsas foram analisadas a cada sete dias, iniciando 12 horas após a colheita até completar 42 dias (seis semanas de estocagem). Foram estudadas 23 bolsas divididas em quatro grupos, sendo o Grupo 1 de CH colhido em CPDA-1 (6 bolsas), Grupo 2 em CPDA-1 leucorreduzido (6 bolsas), Grupo 3 em CPD/SAG-M (6 bolsas) e Grupo 4 em CPD/SAG-M leucorreduzido (5 bolsas). Dentre os resultados, não foram observadas alterações significativas na taxa de hemólise que pudessem indicar qual anticoagulante foi mais eficaz, tão pouco se a leucorredução possuiu efeito preservante dos eritrócitos. Também não houve diferenças significativas na concentração de glicose e pH entre os grupos durante as semanas de estudo. Foram observadas diferenças na concentração de potássio extracelular, com menor concentração nas bolsas leucorreduzidas. A variação da PCO2 não apresentou um comportamento padrão de aumento ou redução com diferenças significativas claras. Contudo, foram observadas mudanças marcantes no comportamento da concentração de oxigênio ao se comparar a presença ou ausência dos leucócitos, independente do anticoagulante utilizado, com aumento marcante nos valores de PO2 nos grupos leucorreduzidos a partir da segunda semana (P<0,05). A SO2 apresentou diferença significativa entre os grupos que sofreram ou não leucorredução desde a semana zero (P<0,05), com valores maiores nos grupos leucorreduzidos, independente do anticoagulante utilizado nas semanas 1 até 5. Conclui-se analisando os dados que a solução preservativa CPD/SAG-M não ofereceu melhor meio para estocagem de CH canino quando comparado ao CPDA-1 no que tange a hemólise, mas que a redução de leucócitos (leucorredução) indicou efeito protetivo indireto da estrutura eritrocitária de CH canino em estocagem, independente do anticoagulante utilizado, observado pela menor concentração de potássio a partir de 35 dias de estocagem (quinta semana). Concluiu-se, também, que a leucorredução exerceu um impacto na concentração de oxigênio mensurado pela PO2 e SO2, indicando melhor função in vitro da hemoglobina, independente do anticoagulante utilizado
The transfusional medicine use blood as a therapeutic support tool for various diseases, and many studies justify the use of blood products at the expense of whole blood. The storage and handling of blood can result in functional changes of these products, and the transfusion of long time storage erythrocytes may be harmful to the receiver. Therefore, while the maintaining the stock of red cell components is required, blood storage can reduce the function of transfused red blood cells and cause unwanted transfusion reactions, a fact that stimulates research in the field of development of new solutions and extra additives, culminating in safer blood products and with longer validity. This study aimed to evaluate variations in the biochemical and hemogasometric composition that could be changed in the event of storage lesions in canine packed red blood cells (PRBC) due to the type of used preservative solution (citrate, phosphate, dextrose and adenine [CPDA -1] or citrate, phosphate, dextrose solution with extra adenine, glucose and mannitol [CPD/SAG-M]). A second objective was to assess whether the reduction of CH leukocytes could impact decisively in the storage of PRBC. Therefore, we compared the values for oxygen pressure (PO2), carbon dioxide pressure (PCO2) and oxygen saturation SO2), pH hemolysis rate, glucose, extracellular sodium and potassium. The blood bags were analyzed every 7 days starting 12 hours after harvest and during 42 days (six weeks of storage). It were studied 23 bags divided into four study groups: Group 1 PRBC harvest in CPDA-1 (6 bags), Group 2 leukoreduced CPDA-1 (6 bags), Group 3 CPD/SAG-M (6 bags) and group 4 in CPD/SAG-M leukoreduced (5 bags). Among the results, there were no significant changes in hemolysis rate were observed which could indicate which anticoagulant was more effective, as little to leukoreduction owned preservative effect of erythrocytes. There were also no significant differences in glucose concentration and pH between the groups during the week study. Differences were observed in extracellular potassium concentration, with lower concentrations in leucorreduced bags. The variation of PCO2 was wandering without formation of an increase or decrease in behavior clear differences. However, significant changes in the behavior of oxygen concentration when comparing the presence or absence of leukocytes were observed independent of the anticoagulant was used, with marked increase in PO2 values in leukorreuced groups from the second week (P <0.05). The SO2 showed a significant difference between the groups that have suffered or not leukoreduction from week zero (P <0.05), with higher values in leukoreduced groups, independent of the anticoagulant used in weeks 1 to 5. We conclude by analyzing the data that preservative solution CPD / SAG-M offered no better way to canine CH storage when compared to the CPDA-1 with respect to hemolysis, but that leukocyte reduction (leukoreduction) indicated indirect protective effect of erythrocyte structure of CH canine in storage, independent of the anticoagulant used, observed by the lower concentration of potassium from 35 days of storage (fifth week). It was concluded also that leukoreduction exerted an impact on oxygen concentration measured by PO2 and SO2, indicating better function of hemoglobin in vitro, independent of the anticoagulant used

Projeto de Graduação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Licenciada em Fisioterapia
Objetivo: Averiguar o papel da ventilação não invasiva (VNI) nos grandes prematuros (idade gestacional <34 semanas) com síndrome de dificuldade respiratória (SDR). Metodologia: Pesquisa computorizada nas bases de dados PubMed e PEDro para identificar estudos randomizados controlados que avaliam a eficácia da VNI nos grandes prematuros com SDR. Resultados: Nesta revisão foram incluídos 10 estudos envolvendo 840 lactentes, com classificação metodológica media de 6.2 em 10 na escala de Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), dos quais 1 compara o Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) com a ventilação convencional contínua, 3 comparam o CPAP com o Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV), 2 comparam o CPAP com o Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) e 4 comparam a eficácia do CPAP segundo os fluxos aplicados. Conclusão: Os estudos incluídos nesta revisão sugerem que o CPAP é eficaz, mas existem outras técnicas de VNI como a NIPPV que podem ser mais eficazes, mas que não são muito aplicadas porque ainda não são bem conhecidas. Sugere-se mais estudos sobre estas modalidades para provar a eficácia das outras técnicas de VNI.
Objective: To determine the role of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in very preterm (gestational age <34 weeks) with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Methodology: Research computerized on databases PubMed and PEDro to identify randomized controlled studies that evaluate the effectiveness of NIV in very preterm with RDS. Results: In this review were included 10 studies involving 840 babies, with methodology classification of 6.2 on the Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale (PEDro). From that, 1 study compares the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) with the conventional mechanical ventilation, 3 studies compare the CPAP with the Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV), 2 studies compare CPAP with the Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) and 4 compare the effectiveness of CPAP according to the flows applicated. Conclusion: The reviews suggest that the CPAP is effective, but there are other more NIV techniques like a NIPPV that can be more effective, but are not very used because they are not yet well known. To provide a better proof of effectiveness of the other NIV techniques, more studies are needed on the modalities.

Abstract:

The current wide-ranging and complex relations in the international environment demand a comprehensive approach to challenges in world security. Regional organizations play a decisive role in the peaceful settlement of disputes and conflict prevention. This is especially important in Africa given the many enduring problems that affect this continent. Considering that security is a basic condition for development and prosperity, this study aims to assess the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP) organization’s ability to promote stability in its African member states and the CPLP’s aptitude to help resolve a crisis situation and return to stability. The research concluded that the CPLP is an intergovernmental organization capable of enhancing the security of its African country members. Even without an organizational defined policy towards defense and security, CPLP developed a Defense Cooperation Protocol that defined the overarching goals to promote defense cooperation among the CPLP members and defined a defense structure for the organization. The Community also demonstrated its capabilities through the political and diplomatic dialogue concerning the stability in its African country members. This commitment allowed the Community to play an important role in addressing crisis situations within its members and led to the international community recognizing these actions.

Abstract:

This thesis presents the findings of a study of U.K. Human Resources professionals, and factors relating to their Continuing Professional Development or CPD. The study has investigated their attitudes to CPD (CPDV), what CPD they actually engage in (CPDE), and the statistical relationships between employability, CPD, and a number of biographical and attitudinal variables. As a subsidiary aim, the study developed and tested a scale of employability, as no appropriate measure was discovered prior to the field research being undertaken. While the respondents engaged in CPD, they did so for reasons of professional commitment rather than a concern for their employability, and that the CPD undertaken tended to be either informal or organisationally-driven. Examination of relationships between the study variables using multiple hierarchical regression saw biographical variables explain 4.1 % of the variance in the perceived value of CPD, and attitudinal variables a further 13.5%. Biographical variables explained 10.7% of the variance in employability, and attitudinal variables a further 30.3%. The study has concluded that professional organisations may have some way to go before they achieve the comprehensive engagement with CPD that may become (and is already in some organisations) mandatory, and that this gap relates to individual's self perceived needs in addition to aspects of record keeping and attitudes to the profession generally. More encouraging has been the development of a new measure of individual employability that compares well against the limited empirical literature in the field, and appears to be a distinct construct to SUbjective career success. Overall, the study has contributed to our understanding of professionals, their attitudes and values, and especially their attitude to and engagement with CPD. Although it was not an original aim, the development of the scale of individual employability may well turn out to be the principal theoretical and practical contribution of this research, as a concept that becomes part of a new paradigm of the psychology of work in the 21st century.

Abstract:

CPAP is the most common treatment for moderate to severe sleep apnea in adults. Despite its efficacy, patients’ safety, comfort and compliance are issues to be considered and improved in CPAP design. The issues include condensation, carbon dioxide in inhaled air, humidity and temperature of inhaled air. When a CPAP user breaths deeply, there will be some air not fully expelled and may be driven back into the heated air delivery tube (HADT). An interest has existed in what impacts this so called reverse flow may bring about to the CPAP use. The main objectives of this research are to quantify the reverse flow and its influence on carbon dioxide re-breathing, delivered humidity to the patient and condensation in the HADT. Within this thesis, two computer models of the CPAP system have been constructed on Simulink™ in the Matlab™ environment. One is about the CPAP fluid dynamic performance and carbon dioxide re-breathing and the other is on thermodynamic performance. The models can predict the dynamic behaviour of the CPAP machine. They are able to mimic the breath induced airflow fluctuation, and flow direction changes over wide real working ranges of ambient conditions, settings and coefficients. These models can be used for future analysis, development, improvement and design of the machine. The fluid dynamic and thermodynamic models were experimentally validated and they have proved to be valuable tool in the work. The main conclusions drawn from this study are: • Reverse flow increases when breaths load increases and pressure setting decreases. • Reverse flow does not definitely add exhaled air to the next inhalation unless the reverse flow is relatively too much. • Mask capacity does not influence the reverse flow. • The exhaled air re-breathed is mainly due to that stays in the mask, therefore larger mask capacity increases the exhaled air re-breath and the percentage of exhaled air in next inhalation drops when the breath load increases. • Deep breathing does not significantly change the total evaporation in chamber. • When deep breathing induced reverse flow occurs, condensation occurs or worsens in the HADT near the mask. This happens only when the humidity of the airflow from the CPAP is much lower than that of the exhaled air and the tube wall temperature is low enough for condensation to occur. • The deep breathing and reverse flow do not significantly influence the average inhaled air temperature. • The overall specific humidity in inhaled air is lower under deep breathing. • Mask capacity does not influence the thermal conditions in the HADT and the inhaled air specific humidity. Also the mask capacity does not significantly influences the inhaled air temperature.

Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the experiences of ambulance nurses when using Boussignac CPAPcompared to their previous model, and their suggestions for possible improvements in the use of CPAP in the care of patients with pulmonary oedema. Method: A qualitative study with a descriptive and exploratory approach. Data was collected through ten semi-structured interviews with ambulance nurses, seven men and three women. The analysis was conducted using Lundman and Graneheim’s content analysis. Results: Three categories were identified: Usage, Treatment and Development. Boussignac CPAP is described as easy to use and with fewer elements than the previous model. With this model it is particularly appreciated to have the opportunity to be able to regulate the resistance without fixed settings. Boussignac CPAP is regarded as more convenient in the handover of the patient. The potential for increased use, with the possibility of adjustment without fixed settings of resistance for Boussignac CPAP, is not perceived to be fully realized. Conclusion: Boussignac CPAP is, by the ambulance nurses, perceived to have made the handling of equipment easier and increased quality of care. To make further use of the potential of Boussignac CPAP more training and changes in the guidelines may be needed.
Syfte: Att undersöka ambulanssjuksköterskors upplevelser av Boussignac CPAP jämfört med deras föregående modell, samt ambulanssjuksköterskors eventuella förslag till möjliga förbättringar vid användandet av CPAP i vården av patienter med lungödem. Metod: En kvalitativ studie med deskriptiv och utforskande ansats. Data utgörs av tio semistrukturerade intervjuer med ambulanssjuksköterskor, sju män och tre kvinnor. Materialet har analyserats med Lundman och Graneheims innehållsanalys. Resultat: Tre kategorier identifierades: Användning, Behandling samt Utveckling. Boussignac CPAP beskrivs som lättanvänd och med färre moment än föregående modell. Med modellen uppskattas särskilt möjligheten att steglöst reglera motståndet. Boussignac CPAP upplevs som lättare då masken eller dess delar inte behöver plockas av patienten vid överlämnandet från ambulansverksamheten. Förutsättningarna till ökat användningsområde, i och med möjligheten att steglöst ändra motståndet för Boussignac CPAP upplevs inteutnyttjas fullt ut. Slutsats: Boussignac CPAP upplevs av ambulanssjuksköterskorna ha underlättat hanteringen av utrustningen samt ökat vårdkvaliteten för patienten. För att vidare kunna utnyttja potentialen med Boussignac CPAP kan mer utbildning och förändringar i riktlinjer behövas.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Obstruktivt sömnapnésyndrom, OSAS, är ett vanligt tillstånd som förknippas med övervikt och fetma, som karakteriseras av snarkningar och upprepade andningsuppehåll under sömn. Behandling sker oftast med CPAP nattetid som hjälper till att hålla andningsvägarna öppna. Obehandlad OSAS medför ofta problem både för individen, med dagtrötthetssymptom, kardiovaskulära komplikationer och förhöjd morbiditet, men även för samhället genom en ökad risk för olyckor och förlust i arbetskraft. Utredningen av OSAS är omfattande och kräver mycket resurser. Därför vore det ur kvalitetsutvärderingssyfte intressant att utvärdera följsamheten till CPAP-behandlingen, för att eventuellt kunna förbättra utredning, diagnostik och behandling, för patienternas välmående och för samhällets bästa. Syfte: Att vid lungkliniken på Örebro universitetssjukhus, genom en retrospektiv, register- och journalstudie, i kvalitetsutvärderingssyfte, undersöka en uppskattad följsamhet till CPAP behandling efter 5 år. Metod: Patienter som fick CPAP år 2012 vid lungklinikens sömnmottagning vid Örebro universitetssjukhus identifierades via lungklinikens register och jämfördes sedan med ett annat register, SESAM, där CPAP innehavare i Örebro län finns registrerade, för att se om CPAPen fortfarande fanns registrerad i maj 2018. Detta användes som ett hypotetiskt mått på 5 års compliance av CPAP behandling. Även köns-och åldersfördelning för hela studiepopulationen vid CPAP start 2012 undersöktes. Resultat: Totalt omfattades 333 patienter, 73% var män och 27 % kvinnor. Åldersfördelningen låg mellan 18-84 år, med majoritet i 50-73 års åldern, medelålder 57 år samt medianålder 58 år. 41 patienter exkluderades. Utifrån kvarvarande 292 patienter hade 62 % kvar sin CPAP vid uppföljningen i maj 2018. Slutsats: 62% av patienter som fick CPAP år 2012 hade fortfarande CPAP registrerad i maj 2018.

Abstract:

The competencies and needs of those entering the teaching profession have become the subject of public debate since the release of A Nation at Risk. Subsequently many comprehensive and comparative reviews have documented the socialization of those entering the teaching profession especially student teachers and first-year teachers. The problems of beginning teachers have produced survival and self-oriented concerns. Internships and induction programs have been developed to ease the socialization of beginning teachers and mediate these concerns. As internships are developed and induction programs implemented, descriptive field studies which examine the processes of beginning teacher socialization are needed. Particularly, studies which investigate the socialization of first-year teachers prepared in cooperative field-based programs are necessary. This study was designed to document and analyze the teaching experiences of four first-year teachers who completed an extended field-based Internship â€“ CPEP (Cooperative Professional Education Program). These teaching experiences were documented in terms of a conceptual framework drawn from socialization theory, occupational socialization theory, and teacher socialization research. Three questions were developed to guide this research into the teacher socialization process: 1) What are the socialization structures and processes, formal and informal, which shaped teachers' perceptions of their first year of teaching? 2) What are the teachers' perceptions of problems encountered and what adjustments are made? 3) What are the common concerns shared by these beginning teachers? The conceptual framework, socialization theory, coupled with a comparative case study design, were utilized to collect, organize, and interpret the data. Data sources included interviews, questionnaires, observations, video tapes, and journals. These multiple data sources provided evidence of the factors which explain beginning teachersâ€™ induction into the teaching profession, teaching experiences in terms of teacher socialization theory and research and the relationship between teacher socialization and occupational socialization theory. The answers to the research questions are as follows: First, several significant contextual factors shaped these first-year teachers' perceptions of teaching: the organizational nature of the schools, the physical demands necessary to maintain energy levels for teaching, and the lack of time for planning. The influence of each teacher's primary socializing agent, the internship mentor teacher was expressed through a process of collegial emulation. Their students and teachers in other schools were also influential socializing agents. The behavioral outcomes of the teachers consistently focused on issues related to efficiency and organization. Second. the most significant self-perceived problems were the lack of planning time and the dynamics of working with other staff members. Although these beginning teachers became increasingly self-critical about the consequences of their teaching, they maintained a tone of confidence and competence. Third, the Stages of Concern Questionnaire administered to the teachers revealed relatively high student-focused (task) and teacher-oriented (impact) concern intensities. Their most commonly shared concerns included refocusing their teaching and identifying the consequences of their instruction. Although institutional demands influenced teacher adjustment to the norms and values of the profession and to the school as a social organization, the teachers also took an active role in this socialization process. The teachers were influenced by institutional norms, but they also created new roles and norms. Consequently, their socialization was a dynamic and interactive process. Occupational socialization variables which linked teacher socialization to occupation socialization theory included training, formal and informal mechanisms of control, and stages of socialization. The research findings contribute to the teacher education knowledge base and should be of value to four primary audiences: school site administrators who supervise beginning teachers, staff development administrators who organize in-service programs, governing bodies which regulate teacher certification, and university personnel who develop and supervise teacher preparation programs.

Abstract:

Bubble CPAP (BCPAP) is used in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) as a form of non-invasive ventilation and is commonly employed in neonates demonstrating respiratory distress. BCPAP may be used to avoid the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation thereby reducing lung injury and other morbidities as well as decrease hospital stay. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to retrospectively investigate the length of stay on bubble CPAP (BCPAP) considering gestational age, birth weight, and surfactant delivery in the neonatal population born at an urban tertiary high load level three (NICU). METHODS: A retrospective study using existing data from an urban tertiary high load level three NICU was completed. DATA ANALYSIS: Data analysis was performed using SPSS 16.0. Descriptive statistics were run for each variable. Contingency tables were run to determine if gestational age at birth, birth weight, and length of time on BCPAP had significance compared to surfactant delivery. Intercorrelations were run to determine if gestational age at birth, birth weight, and length of time on BCPAP had an effect on each other. Davis conventions were used to analyze the results. RESULTS: Descriptive statistics indicated the mean gestational age at birth to be 32.263 weeks, SD = +2.978, mean neonatal weight to be 1.899 kg, SD = +0.728, and mean length of time on BCPAP to be 124.430 hours, SD = +185.474. Contingency statistics showed a substantial association (reta = 0.562) between the gestational age at birth and surfactant delivery, a very strong association (reta = 1.000) between the birth weight and surfactant delivery, and a very strong association (reta = 0.914) between the length of time the neonate was on BCPAP and surfactant delivery. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients showed gestational age at birth had a very strong positive association with birth weight (r = 0.811, p < 0.01) and a moderate negative association with length of time on BCPAP (r = -0.439, p < 0.01). Intercorrelations also showed birth weight had a moderate negative association with length of time on BCPAP (r = -0.306, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The neonate was less likely to receive surfactant if, their gestational age was older at birth, they had a heavier birth weight, and their length of time on BCPCP was shorter. The data also demonstrated that the older the neonate’s gestational age at birth and the heavier the neonatal birth weight equated to a shorter length of time on BCPAP. Lastly the data demonstrated that the heavier the neonate’s birth weight, the shorter length of time on BCPAP.

Full text

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Obstruktivt sömnapnésyndrom (OSAS) är en vanlig sömnrelaterad andningsstörning som innebär att patienten får apnéer (totalt andningsflödesstopp) och/eller hypoapnéer (delvis andningsflödesstopp) under nattsömnen. Dessa leder till störd nattsömn, vilket leder till kroppslig påverkan. OSAS ger både fysisk och psykisk påverkan, vilket i sin tur resulterar i att många patienter upplever sämre livskvalité. En av de vanligaste behandlingarna för OSAS är CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) som med hjälp av övertrycksandning hjälper till att hålla de övre luftvägarna öppna under sömn. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturöversikten var att undersöka hur patienters livskvalité påverkas av behandling med CPAP samt om det finns vetenskapligt bevisade omvårdnadsåtgärder som underlättar för patienter att uppnå god livskvalité vid CPAP-behandling. Metod: En systematisk litteraturöversikt baserad på 10 kvantitativa originalartiklar. Resultat: Majoriteten av de genomgångna studierna visade att användning av CPAP minskar psykiska och fysiska symptom och därmed förbättrar patienternas livskvalité. Genom att följa upp patienter i sjukvården, erbjuda dem utbildningar samt gruppdiskussioner främjar man deras hälsa och höjer livskvalitén. Studierna visade också att grunden för en god omvårdnad är att sjuksköterskan har evidensbaserade kunskaper för att kunna planera och genomföra omvårdnadsåtgärder samt följa upp hur CPAP-behandlingen påverkar patienternas livskvalité. Slutsats: Användningen av CPAP förbättrar OSAS-patienternas livskvalité, bland annat genom att minska symptom. Det är av stor vikt att sjuksköterskan har tillräckliga kunskaper för att kunna undervisa samt informera patienten om sin sjukdom och behandling. Detta hjälper patienter till en bättre egenvård, vilket har en stor betydelse för livskvalitet.

Abstract:

Esta dissertação pretende traçar as linhas gerais que permearam a criação da CPLP, em 1996 e sua atuação desde então, agora que já fazem 12 anos da sua formação. O objetivo é identificar quais as possíveis estratégias e posições a serem tomadas pelos Estados-membros da comunidade no cenário internacional no século XXI. Pretendemos verificar até que ponto a CPLP é uma Comunidade que tem desempenhado um papel importante no cenário internacional num mundo cada vez mais globalizado. Tem o propósito de traçar o desenho que delineou e delineia as relações entre o Brasil, Portugal e os países africanos de língua oficial portuguesa (PALOPs). Para isso, investigou-se qual o cenário político, histórico e social no qual germinou a idéia da criação de uma comunidade como a CPLP, qual o seu papel na comunidade internacional, quais os ganhos de quem dela participa. A questão central da pesquisa foi: de que maneira a CPLP é atuante na defesa dos interesses econômicos, sociais e culturais dos países que a compõem, que juntos representam mais de 200 milhões de cidadãos do mundo a falar a língua portuguesa? Quisemos medir o grau de identidade entre os povos que compõem esta comunidade e para isso usamos a construção de um índice estatístico que permite saber qual é esse grau, em quê a identidade desses povos se baseia e qual o reflexo dela para as relações intra-estatais e inter-estatais. Veremos que a abordagem construtivista das Relações Internacionais é a chave teórica para entendimento da CPLP, neste trabalho, e que as análises do cenário pós-Guerra Fria, não explicam a peculiaridade da CPLP. Por fim traçamos as estratégias possíveis da comunidade no futuro e apontamos quais as críticas mais comummente apresentadas por diferentes atores à sua atuação até hoje.
This thesis aims to trace the general lines that permeated the creation of the CPLP in 1996 and its performance since then, now that are 12 years of her formation. The goal is to identify the possible strategies and positions to be taken by member States of the international community in the twenty-first century. We want to verify the extent to which the CPLP is a community that has played an important role in the international arena in a world increasingly globalized. Aims to trace the outline and design the outlines the relationship between Brazil, Portugal and African countries whose official language is Portuguese (PALOP\'s). For this, we investigated what were the political landscape, historical and social in which germinated the idea of creating a community like the CPLP, what is its role in the international community, and which are the of who is involved. The central question of this research was: how the CPLP is active in the defense of economic interests, social and cultural rights of the countries that compose it, which together represent more than 200 million \"citizens of the world\" to speak the portuguese language? We measure the degree of identity among the peoples that make up this community and for this we use the construction of a statistical index that allows to know what is the degree in which the identity of these peoples is based and which reflects it to the intra-state and inter-state relations. We will see that the constructivist approach of International Relations is the theoretical key to understanding the CPLP, in this work, and that the analysis of post-Cold War scenario, somehow, does not explain the peculiarity of the CPLP. Finally, this thesis draw the possibles strategies of this Community in the future and point out that the criticism most commonly made by different actors for her performance till today

Abstract:

Många patienter med obstruktivt sömnapnésyndrom (OSAS) som behandlas med Continuous Positive Airways Pressure (CPAP) avbryter sin behandling i ett tidigt skede. Att inte vara följsam behandlingen kan innebära olika hälsorisker för patienten som kan få allvarliga konsekvenser. Kommunikationssituationen vid det initiala utprovningsbesöket kan därför påverka huruvida patienten inte blir följsam och fullföljer behandlingen. Syftet med denna studie var att belysa hur vårdpersonal beskriver sina erfarenheter av kommunikationssituationen vid det initiala utprovningsbesöket av CPAP. En kvalitativ intervjustudie genomfördes med 23 personer som alla möter denna grupp av patienter. Som analysmetod användes induktiv innehållsanalys. Vid analysen av materialet framkom tre kategorier; Bygga en relation, Inta ett pedagogiskt förhållningssätt samt Stödja patientens delaktighet. Dessa tre kategorier mynnade ut i ett tema som visade på hur kommunikationssituationen beskrevs Skapa förutsättning för lärande hos patienten. Studien belyser vikten av en samskapande vård och ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt där patienten ses som en partner i de beslut som tas samt hur vårdpersonalens pedagogiska förhållningssätt påverkar kommunikations-situationen på olika sätt. Erfarenheterna som beskrevs i studien upplevdes påverka patientens möjligheter till lärande i situationen för en ökad följsam till sin CPAP-behandling.
Many patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) treated with Continuous Positive Airways Pressure (CPAP) interrupt their treatment at an early stage. Not having adherence to the treatment implies various health risks for the patient that can have serious consequences. Therefore, the communicationsituation at the initial testing visit may affect whether the patient does not follow up and completes the treatment. The purpose of this study was to illustrate how healthcare professionals describe their experiences of the communicationsituation at the initial visit testing CPAP. A qualitative interview study was conducted with 23 people who all meet this group of patients. As an analytical method, inductive content analysis was used. In the analysis of the material three categories was revealed; Build a Relationship, Take an Educational Approach and Support the Patient's Participation. These three categories emerged in a theme that demonstrated how the communication situation was described as Creating a prerequisite for learning for the patient. The study highlights the importance of a person-centered approach, a co-productive care where the patient is seen as a partner in the decisions and how the healthcare professionals' pedagogical approaches affect the communicationsituation in different ways. The experiences described in the study were perceived to affect the patient's ability to learn in the situation for an increased adherence to the CPAP treatment.

Abstract:

During the last few years, Ericsson has developed an emulator for the telephone system called CPP (Connectivity Packet Platform) with TietoEnator as a subcontractor. The emulator is called CPPemu and emulates the hardware used in the network nodes in CPP. This means that the same software that may be run on a node in a CPP network may be run on the emulated hardware in the emulator. TietoEnator would like to examine whether the emulator may be used for testing software instead of running tests using physical hardware. For this experiment, a particular event will be tested in the CPP emulator.

A fail-over procedure, which works in a physical CPP node, will be verified to work in the CPP emulator. A fail-over may be defined as

The failure and automatic replacement of part of a system such that the user does not notice the failure and is not affected by it. The part which has failed is replaced by a backup part.

This experiment consisted of three majors steps, namely (i) configuring the emulator, (ii) creating a network by setting up a redundant network (one main link and one backup link) between two emulated nodes and finally (iii) testing the fail-over procedure. The fail-over was tested by generating and sending traffic through the network, triggering the fail-over by ejecting the board which is currently sending and receiving traffic and inspecting the log files to evaluate if the fail-over works as intended. The results of the experiment indicated that the system performed as expected.

Abstract:

Oil analysis is a broad field comprised of hundreds of individual tests that provide meaningful benefit by assessing one or more properties of lubricants or machines. Many tests are performed on new types of oil during research and development. The lubricants chemical, physical, or lubricating properties are validated for quality control purposes and product performance classification. Much of the research in this area is devoted to the online oil degradation systems which allow getting a prompt response about the condition of lubricant. This thesis investigates the concept for monitoring oil degradation with a vibrating Kelvin probe technique. The Vibrating Kelvin probe method for measuring the work function of metals has been used since 1932. Among the applications of this technique are adsorption, corrosion, friction and other studies. A novel application of this method is proposed in this thesis. The vibrating Kelvin system was created with one static surface acting as a sampling surface and the other one electrically isolated. The interaction of the oil with one of the surfaces of a capacitor results in a signal which is synchronously measured. The oil molecules adsorb on the surface of one of the plates and form a space charge layer which changes the work function of that surface. Oil prepared by intentional oxidation was used to evaluate and to monitor the ability to see changes in oil.

Abstract:

Purpose: In Singapore, serious attempts have been made by the Government to develop a many layered, multi-faceted response, changing and adapting to shape long-term and productive responses. Another major societal change that gives impetus to teachers’ staff development in Singapore is the changing scene of Singapore society in terms of social structure, norms, aspirations, behaviours and values. All these mean that Singapore teachers will need to assume responsibility to grow as adult learners by participating actively in different types of CPD activities (Formal, Informal, Self-Directed and Nonformal Activities), to change their mindsets, to think, and to tailor solutions with Principals to school problems in order to succeed in their role as lifelong learners and change agents. The main purpose of this study is to find out teachers' needs, and school and CPD factors that influence their participation in CPD. It is also intended that the empirical data from schools can be integrated with findings from literature, together with the personal philosophy of the writer, into a comprehensive and effective school programme that meets the needs of Singapore primary schools in the 21st century. Design of the Study: The instrument that was used to collect data was self-constructed and designed with input from teachers and information gathered about CPD from literature. Part Two No 2 (1) was adapted from the 'Assessment of Performance of Teaching' (NIE) and from the instrument that was self-developed by the researcher for her M Ed paper (University of Sheffield, 1999) on 'An Induction Programme for Beginning Teachers in Singapore Primary Schools'. The Role of Principals scale and the CPD Activities scale were adapted from readings by Wideen and Andrews (1987) and an instrument used by Fesslar (1990) for his study on Principal and teacher behaviours towards CPD activities. The rest of the questionnaire was self-constructed based on the researchers' literature review. The final questionnaire comprised three main measures: (1) Personal Factors Measure, (2) School Factors Measure, (3) CPD Activities Measure. Personal Factors Measure The Personal Factors Scale was developed to measure teachers' perceptions about their needs or skills by age, gender and years of teaching experience. This comprised thirty-six items on six aspects namely, planning, managing, instructional techniques, interaction, assessing and providing feedback and relations with community. Qualitative data was obtained through an open-ended item on teachers’ perceptions of Personal Qualities of Good Teachers. This would give added information on teachers' perceptions of needs (or skills) as well as knowledge, attitudes and values of teachers that can effectively manage the educational changes.

Abstract:

This study draws upon a methodological approach based on the use of objects to explore the experiences of a group of teachers undertaking a Masters-level Continuing Professional Development programme. Eight Respondents were invited to bring three objects to their interview that represented significant aspects of their practice in relation to the course. These objects afforded an exploration of respondents’ views, experiences and consideration of the impact of the programme on their professional identities. In order to engage analytically with the data the work draws upon notions of spatiality as well as the later work of Foucault on truth and subject formation. The thesis considers the role of professional learning as shaped by the current policy process and, how professional learning is, in turn, shaped by the teachers undertaking the course. Such a consideration allows for a methodological take on the CPD process as one whereby people, as well as objects, such as ‘standards’, play equally important roles. In drawing upon the later work of Foucault (1984a, 1984b) analysis of the data considered the ways in which the practices of the course that the teachers engaged with (Askēsis) lead to a desire to speak their mind and express ideals of truth about educational practice (Parrhēsia). This means that in thinking about their practice through the activities and processes of the programme encourages the development of the ethical work of the teacher. In the light of such problematisation, this study encourages a rethinking of both policy and practice and argues for a change in the discourse of education from the concept of professional development to that of professional learning within a relational and ethical framing.

Abstract:

This document consists of a Systematic Review, a Bridging Document and an Empirical Research report. The Systematic Review explores continuing professional development available to teachers, in particular considering what supports teachers to continually develop their practice. Taking a meta-ethnography approach the review examined seven studies. Synthesis and consequent mapping indicated three third order constructs necessary for teachers’ professional learning to occur; intersubjectivity, reflection and common goal. The review led to the development of a model with three overlapping constructs, needed for such professional learning to occur. The Bridging Document links the Systematic Review findings to the Empirical Research, giving critical justification for how and why decisions were made. It includes exploration of research foci, theoretical paradigm, methodology and analysis. A discussion of how ethics, reflexivity, ontology and epistemology are embedded throughout helps the reader further understand the research. In chapter three the Systematic Review model was used to plan an intervention for teachers. Action Research was carried out with four Heads of House. Semi-structured interviews were used before and after the Action Research cycles to explore the Heads of House experience. This intervention led to transformative learning for the group and analysis suggests that although the Systematic Review model is valid it is a dynamic interaction rather than a static model. Also it includes two additional themes – trust and otherness. The main findings were the change in talk from pre to post interview which highlighted a difference in agentic resources individually and collectively. Implications include highlighting the unique contribution educational psychologists can make and how teachers’ sense of agency can increase through collaborative problem solving. Possible future research is also explored.

Abstract:

Background: Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are two forms of resistance breathing used in spontaneously breathing patients. With a threshold resistor or a flow resistor, both PEP and CPAP provide a positive (elevated) pressure level during the expiratory phase. With PEP, inspiratory pressure is negative, i.e. lower than ambient air pressure, as during a normal inspiration, but with CPAP, the inspiratory pressure is positive, i.e. higher than ambient air pressure. Methods: This thesis is based on four separate studies in which four different breathing devices, a PEP-bottle (threshold resistor device), a PEP-mask (flow resistor device), a threshold resistor CPAP and a flow resistor device were investigated. Paper I, II and III are based on studies in healthy volunteers. Paper IV is a bench study performed in a hypobaric chamber. Paper I examined differences between two PEP devices, the PEP-bottle and the PEP-mask. Paper II evaluated the performance of a flow resistor CPAP device, (Boussignac CPAP). Paper III investigated the effect of two PEP-devices, a PEP-bottle and a PEP-mask and two CPAP devices, a threshold resistor CPAP and a flow resistor CPAP, on inspiratory capacity (IC). In paper IV, the effect of changes in ambient pressure on preset CPAP levels in two different CPAP devices was compared. Results: With the PEP bottle, both expiration and inspiration began with a zero-flow period during which airway pressure changed rapidly. With the PEP-mask, the zero-flow period was very short and the change in airway pressure almost non-existent (paper I). During normal breathing with the Boussignac CPAP, changes in airway pressure were never large enough to reduce airway pressure below zero. During forced breathing, as airflow increased, both the drop in inspiratory airway pressure and the increase in expiratory airway pressure were potentiated (paper II). IC decreased significantly with three of the breathing devices, the PEP-mask and the two CPAP devices (paper III). With the threshold resistor CPAP, measured pressure levels were close to the preset CPAP level. With the flow resistor CPAP, as the altitude increased CPAP produced pressure levels increased (paper IV). Conclusion: The effect on airway pressure, airflow, IC and the effect of changes in ambient air pressure differ between different kinds of resistance breathing devices. These differences in device performance should be taken into consideration when choosing the optimal resistance breathing device for each patient.

Abstract:

Mestrado em Desenvolvimento e Cooperação Internacional
A cooperação intermunicipal-forma de cooperação descentralizada-corresponde ao estabelecimento de relações entre duas ou mais comunidades, tendo como principais actores os Municípios ou seus equivalentes, de acordo com o sistema organizativo dos países, podendo assumir a forma de geminações, protocolos, acordos de cooperação e redes. A tendência actual, num contexto de globalização e onde a União Europeia é um caso paradigmático, aponta para o incentivo ao desenvolvimento de formas ou figuras inovadoras de cooperação inter-regional, interurbana e transnacional de natureza reticular, colocando em interacção agentes económicos, instituições, autarquias, territórios, cidades e regiões, localizados em diferentes espaços geográficos. Paralelamente, estamos perante uma nova dimensão intercontinental dos relacionamentos assentes em redes interterritoriais de cooperação e onde as autarquias desempenham um papel relevante, muitas das vezes como motor desta nova tipologia de relacionamentos. Existe, assim, um novo protagonismo dos poderes locais na potenciação da cooperação externa. O novo quadro legislativo português de transferência de atribuições e competências para as autarquias locais reflecte isso mesmo. Os Municípios passaram a dispor de atribuições no domínio da cooperação externa e adquiriram competência para participar em projectos e acções de cooperação descentralizada com a União Europeia e a Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa (CPLP). Esta, recentemente criada, poderá potenciar a sua vertente estatuária e prática no domínio económico através de uma intervenção em rede, protagonizada pelos órgãos de poder local dos seus Estados-Membros, nomeadamente os Municípios. Com base num inquérito efectuado junto das autarquias locais portuguesas, esta investigação pretende retratar, através de acordos de geminação celebrados, o tipo de relacionamento económico existente entre os municípios portugueses e os da CPLP. Nesta perspectiva, pretende-se demonstrar a importante contribuição que pode ter a implementação de redes intermunicipais de cooperação, para a construção de uma nova dimensão económica no espaço da CPLP, assentes no princípio de parceria.
Inter-municipal cooperation - a form of decentralised cooperation, entails the establishment of relations between two or more communities with the main actors being the Municipal Councils or their equivalent, in accordance with the organisational system of the countries involved. This cooperation can take on the forms of twinning, protocols, cooperation agreements, and networks. The current trend, in the context of globalisation and where the European Union is a paradigmatic case, is to encourage the development of innovative forms or figures of inter-regional, inter-urban and transnational cooperation of a reticulate nature, for the interaction of economic agents, institutions, local authorities, territories, cities and regions located in different geographic spaces. At the same time we are dealing with a new intercontinental dimension of partnerships based on intercontinental territorial networks where the local authorities play an important role, very often as the driving force behind this new type of cooperation. Local powers therefore are taking on a new role in encouraging externai cooperation. The new Portuguese legal framework for transferring functions and competences to local authorities reflects this. Nowadays the Municipal Councils have fimctions in the realm of externai cooperation and have acquired competences to take part in decentralised cooperation projects and actions with the European Union and the Community of Portuguese-speaking Countries ("Comunidade dos Paises de Língua Portuguesa" - CPLP). The latter, recently formed, can build on its statutory and practical aspect in the economic realm through acting in a network, with the intervening parties being the local authorities - the Municipal Councils - of its Member States. Based on a questionnaire carried out near the Portuguese local authorities, this research aims to highlight through the example of twinning agreements, the kind of economic relationships that exist between the Portuguese and the CPLP Municipal Councils. In this perspective, the purpose is to demonstrate the important contribution that can be made by the implementation of inter-municipal cooperation networks to the construction of a new economic dimension within the CPLP, and based on the principie of partnership.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) är en non-invasiv behandling som bland annat används vid respiratorisk svikt. CPAP-behandling utförs inte bara på intensivvårdskliniker, vilket ställer högre utbildningskrav på sjuksköterskor verksamma inom slutenvården. Otillräcklig kunskap bland personalen leder till minskad möjlighet att tillgodose patienternas behov. I dagens sjukvård där allt fler sjuka patienter vårdas utanför intensivvårdskliniker krävs det därför regelbunden utbildning för sjuksköterskor för att kunna upprätthålla en säker vård. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenhet av att utföra CPAP-behandling på en medicinsk slutenvårdsavdelning. Design: Kvalitativ studie med induktiv ansats Metod: Femton sjuksköterskor intervjuades på två sjukhus i Mellansverige. Den transkriberade datan analyserades med hjälp av en konventionell innehållsanalys. Fynd: Huvudfyndet i denna studie visar att sjuksköterskans erfarenhet av CPAPbehandling kännetecknas av blandade känslor. Det framkommer att sjuksköterskans utförande av CPAP-behandling påverkas av såväl frustration och osäkerhet som trygghet och säkerhet vilket är länkat till erfarenheten. Trots dessa blandade känslor leder sjuksköterskan teamet med mål att skapa en säker vård för patienten. Konklusion: Det behövs en kontinuerlig utbildning kring CPAP-behandling och ett regelbundet användande för att sjuksköterskor ska känna sig säkra och främja patientsäkerheten.
Background: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a non-invasive treatment which is useful to treat respiratory failure. CPAP-treatment is not only performed at the intensive care units, and that leads to higher demands of education for nurses in clinical wards. Insufficient knowledge among the health care staff leads to reduced ability to satisfy the patient´s needs. In today’s health care with more complex patients in general wards is regular education important for nurses to maintain quality and safety. Aim: To describe nurses´ experience of performing CPAP-treatment in medical hospital care. Design: A qualitative study, inductive. Method: Fifteen nurses were interviewed in two hospitals in Sweden. The transcribed data where analysed with qualitative content analysis. Findings: The main finding where that nurses had both positive- and negative experience of CPAP-treatment. The study shows that nurses experience feelings such as frustration and insecurity as well as safety around CPAP-treatment. Despite the mixed feelings the nurse could be a team leader with focus on quality and safety. Conclusion: A regular education and regular use of CPAP-treatment is important so the nurses feels secure and to maintain the patient safety.

Abstract:

As cirurgias de ressecção pulmonar se incluem no grupo das cirurgias que podem predispor o paciente a apresentar complicações pulmonares no pós-operatório. Complicações como o aumento na produção de secreções brônquicas, pneumonia e atelectasia, estão quase sempre associadas à diminuição da função pulmonar neste período. A ventilação por pressão positiva contínua nas vias aéreas vem sendo constantemente utilizada como terapêutica nesses pacientes tentando-se minimizar esses efeitos prejudiciais sobre a função pulmonar. O objetivo desse estudo é quantificar os efeitos da ventilação com pressão positiva contínua nas vias aéreas (CPAP) sobre a função pulmonar no pós-operatório de ressecção pulmonar. Foram selecionados 30 (trinta) pacientes da disciplina de Cirurgia Torácica do Hospital Universitário Pedro Ernesto. A seleção dos pacientes para o grupo controle e experimental foi feita de forma randomizada. Os pacientes foram submetidos na fase pré-operatória a uma avaliação da função pulmonar (pico de fluxo expiratório, força muscular respiratória, teste de caminhada de 6 minutos/ TC6, gasometria arterial e espirometria). Após a realização do procedimento cirúrgico foram submetidos a um protocolo de intervenção, como se segue: grupo experimental: 15 (quinze) pacientes submetidos à ventilação não-invasiva, de forma intermitente, com um sistema CPAP (ACRIFLUX-CPAP, Criticalmed, Industries Inc, Brasil), iniciado no primeiro dia de pós-operatório (nas primeiras 24 horas após a extubação), 2 vezes ao dia, por um período de 30 minutos; grupo controle: 15 (quinze) pacientes submetidos a um programa de fisioterapia respiratória, orientado e supervisionado, iniciado no primeiro dia de pós-operatório (nas primeiras 24 horas após a extubação), com uma freqüência de 2 vezes ao dia. A reavaliação na fase pós-operatória seguiu a mesma metodologia utilizada na fase pré-operatória. As reavaliações ocorreram em dois momentos: no primeiro dia de pós-operatório (PO-I) onde foram reavaliados o pico de fluxo expiratório, força muscular respiratória, gasometria arterial; prova de função pulmonar com 48 horas de pós-operatório. Ao sétimo dia de pós-operatório (PO-II) foram reavaliados novamente as variáveis do PO-I e o teste de caminhada de 6 minutos. Os resultados da espirometria, gasometria arterial, pico de fluxo espiratório e força muscular respiratória entre os grupos foi semelhante, sem diferença significativa, porém, a variável TC6 foi estatisticamente significante no grupo que realizou CPAP precoce, com p=0,0001. Não foi observado fuga aérea pelo dreno de tórax no grupo tratado com CPAP, demonstrando a segurança do método. Desta forma, ambas as terapias foram eficazes, porém a CPAP precoce foi mais eficaz, sugerindo que se possa aplicar de forma precoce no pós-operatório de ressecção pulmonar beneficamente.
Pulmonary resection surgery belongs to the postoperative surgery group with predispositions respiratory complications, as enhance of bronchial secretions, atelectasis, pneumonia, that are at most related to low pulmonary function at this period. The continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been used therapeutically at these patients to minimize the deleterious effects at lung function in this period. The goal of this study is quantify the effects of CPAP at lung function in the postoperative lung resection period. 30 (thirty) patients wereselected from the Thoracic Surgery discipline of Pedro Ernesto University Hospital. The selection to standard group and control were randomized. Preoperative phase was composed by pulmonary function evaluation (expiratory peak flow, respiratory muscle force, 6 minutes walk test/ TC6, arterial blood gas analysis, lung function test). Postoperative period was established as follow: experimental group: 15 (fifteen) patients were conducted under non invasive ventilation intermittently by a CPAP system (ACRIFLUX-CPAP, Criticalmed, Industries Inc, Brasil) since the first postoperative day (at the first 24 hours after extubation), twice a day, for 30 minutes; control group: 15 (fifteen) patients under supervised and oriented respiratory physiotherapy program applied since the first postoperative day (at the first 24 hours after extubation), twice a day. Postoperative evaluation was the same as preoperative phase and was taken at two moments: Postoperative first day (PO-I) with new evaluation of expiratory peak flow, respiratory muscle force, arterial blood gas analysis; postoperative second day with new lung function. Postoperative seventh day (PO-II) was composed by the same parameters of (POI) and the TC6. The results of expiratory peak flow, respiratory muscle force, arterial blood gas analysis between the groups were the same, with no significance difference, however, TC6 parameter has shown statistically significance at the group submitted at early CPAP program therapy, with p= 0,0001. No airway leak by thoracic drain was observed at this CPAP therapy group, showing the efficacy of the therapy. Both therapies were efficient, but earlier CPAP therapy has shown more effective, suggesting that it can be applied earlier at the postoperative lung resection with benefits.

Abstract:

Chicago Pneumatic Division is a division in the Atlas Copco Group consisting of five acquisitions now operating together. Due to the number of recent acquisitions by Chicago Pneumatic Division, the number of distribution centres has increased, making its structure more complex. The main question studied are how many distribution centres the division should operate and how the product companies best will supply the distribution centres, today as well as in the future. Four distribution models are created, with consideration to goods flow as well as financial and environmental aspects, both in present and future situation. The thesis also includes bench-marking with Atlas Copco Tools and Assembly Systems, Electrolux and Dell. The analysis showed that the division should operate three distribution centres, carrying inventory of products from all production companies. This model is also sustainable environmentally and brings the benefit of one consolidated shipment to the customers.

Abstract:

Continuing professional development (CPD) is now viewed as an integral part of professional practice and yet there is little evidence that traditional approaches to post-graduate learning result in changes to the way clinicians practise. Chiropractic is an independent primary contact profession with priorities and learning needs that are quite different from those practitioners working within the NHS. Evaluating the current level of continuing professional development by assessing the changes to practice introduced by chiropractors will assist in informing the future development of the profession.

This paper presents the main objective to analyze the Technical Cooperation Project for implementation of the Convention to Combat Desertification, within the Sustainable Management of Land, recognized by the acronym PCT/INT/3201, and agreed, through a Memorandum of Understanding, between the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) and the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), given that all states of the Community are members of the Convention. Running this PCT had direct support of their own CPLP since that would serve African Countries of Portuguese Official Language and Timor Leste, and also had the technical and financial assistance of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the support and assistance of the Global Mechanism (MM) and the former Portuguese Institute for Development Support (IPAD). To achieve this greater goal, the following steps were performed: In the first chapter it studied the evolution of the international discussion on desertification. Therefore, it sought to understand the issue of desertification in a general context. Then it explored the understanding of international cooperation, based on the construction of theoretical rationalist perspectives international on relations in order to facilitate the understanding of the international discussion on desertification, to come to the knowledge of the Convention to Combat Desertification, with its various Conferences of the Parties (COP) and meetings. In the second chapter it discussed the Community of Portuguese Language Countries and its performance in relation to the environment. This objective was satisfied through the contextual study of the creation of the CPLP, specifying on which it is based, your goals and knowledge about the structure of this community. It also sought to explore the understanding of the physical space of the Member States of the CPLP and their geographical locations, and the situation of these States, in particular the PALOP and Timor Leste, in relation to the process of desertification and/or degradation of land. Then, they analyzed the international partnerships mentioned above, in the development of PCT CPLP/FAO 3201. Finally, in the third chapter, it was thoroughly investigated in this Project. Therefore, it sought to study it from the history of your proposal through the understanding of its two phases (2008-2010, 2010-2011), to examine the plans of interviews conducted with three actors, which had partial or full participation in the Project. With these interviews, it sought to develop a better understanding of the initial challenges, the difficulties of implementation, contributions and perceptions of the end situation, check the lessons learned from this PCT. It was concluded that, despite failures and difficulties presented by the project, this brought contributions to help implement the UNCCD, which will be observed throughout the work.
O presente trabalho apresenta como objetivo principal analisar o Projeto de Cooperação Técnica para implementação da Convenção de Combate à Desertificação, no marco da Gestão Sustentável das Terras, reconhecido pela sigla PCT CPLP/FAO 3201, acordado, por meio de um memorando de entendimento, entre a Comunidade dos Estados de Língua Portuguesa (CPLP) e a Convenção das Nações Unidas de Combate à Desertificação (CNUCD), haja vista que todos os Estados da Comunidade são membros desta Convenção. A execução deste PCT teve apoio direto da própria CPLP, uma vez que serviria aos Países Africanos de Língua Oficial Portuguesa e ao Timor Leste, e também contou com a assistência técnica e financeira da Organização das Nações Unidas para Agricultura e Alimentação (FAO), do Mecanismo Mundial (MM) e do antigo Instituto Português de Apoio para o Desenvolvimento (IPAD). Para o alcance desta meta maior, foram realizados os seguintes passos: No primeiro Capítulo, foi estudada a evolução da discussão internacional sobre desertificação. Para tanto, buscou-se a compreensão da questão da desertificação em um contexto geral. Em seguida, explorou-se o entendimento acerca da cooperação internacional, a partir da construção teórica de perspectivas racionalistas das relações internacionais, a fim de facilitar o entendimento da discussão internacional sobre desertificação, até chegar ao conhecimento da Convenção de Luta contra Desertificação, com suas diversas Conferências das Partes (COP) e reuniões. No segundo Capítulo, abordou-se a Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa e sua atuação em relação ao meio ambiente. Este objetivo se conformou por meio do estudo contextual da criação da CPLP, especificando em que ela se baseia, seus objetivos e o conhecimento acerca da estrutura desta Comunidade. Também buscou-se explorar o entendimento a respeito do espaço físico dos Estados-membros da CPLP e suas localizações geográficas, bem como verificou-se a situação destes Estados, em especial dos PALOP e do Timor Leste, em relação ao processo de desertificação e/ou degradação de terra. Por fim, foram analisadas as parcerias internacionais supracitadas, no desenvolvimento do PCT CPLP/FAO 3201. Finalmente, no terceiro Capítulo, foi detalhadamente analisado o presente Projeto. Para tanto, buscou-se estudá-lo, a partir dos antecedentes de sua proposta, passando pela compreensão de suas duas fases (2008-2010; 2010-2011), até a análise dos planos de entrevistas, realizados com três atores, os quais tiveram participação parcial ou inteira no Projeto. Com essas entrevistas, buscou-se desenvolver um melhor entendimento dos desafios iniciais, das dificuldades de implementação, contribuições e percepções da situação final e, verificar as lições aprendidas com esse PCT por parte dos entrevistados. Concluiu-se que, apesar das falhas e das dificuldades apresentadas pelo projeto, este trouxe contribuições para ajudar a implementar a CNUCD, que serão observadas ao longo do trabalho.

Abstract:

Objectives: To determine whether treatment of demineralized enamel white spot lesions with CPP-ACP paste, CPP-ACFP paste or microabrasion technique decreases lesion depth in vitro. Additionally, to determine whether treatment of demineralized enamel white spot lesions with microabrasion technique in combination with CPP-ACP paste or CPP-ACFP paste decreases lesion depth greater than any of the three techniques alone. Background: White spot lesions (WSLs) after the removal of orthodontic appliances remain a problem for clinicians and patients. Previous studies suggest that application of casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) and casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium fluoride phosphate (CPP-ACFP) may promote enamel remineralization. Recently, microabrasion of enamel was proposed as another treatment modality of white spot lesions. A review of literature showed that there was no comprehensive in vitro study that combined microabrasion, casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate and casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium fluoride phosphate for treatment of WSLs. Methods: A total of one hundred and twelve bovine incisor teeth were randomly assigned to seven treatment groups: 1. Control 1 (demineralization control), 2. Control 2 (remineralization solution control), 3. CPP-ACP paste, 4. CPP-ACFP paste, 5. Microabrasion, 6. Microabrasion with CPP- ACP paste, and 7. Microabrasion with CPP-ACFP paste. Teeth in all groups were placed in demineralizing solution for 96 hours to produce artificial caries-like lesions. At the end of the 96 hr period, teeth in Control 1 group were sectioned to establish adequate amount of demineralization. The rest of samples were treated with assigned regimen once a day for 10 days and stored in remineralization solution. At the end of ten days, teeth were sectioned with a hard tissue microtome and observed under polarized microscopy to analyze enamel lesion depth. One-way ANOVA at α=0.05 was performed to assess difference in lesion depth between groups followed with post hoc Tukey's test. Results: Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between groups (pConclusions: Based on the results from this study, we can conclude that: (1) treatment of WSLs with CPP-ACP paste, CPP-ACFP paste or microabrasion decreases lesion depth in vitro; (2) microabrasion in combination with CPP-ACP paste or CPP-ACFP paste did not decrease lesion depth greater than that observed with either paste technique alone; (3) both CPP-ACP and CPP-ACFP pastes in combination with microabrasion treatments showed greater decrease in lesion depth than microabrasion alone.

Mestrado em Desenvolvimento e Cooperação Internacional
Este trabalho pretende analisar o papel da Comunidade de Países de Língua Portuguesa (CPLP) como agente implementador do primeiro plano estratégico de cooperação multilateral no domínio da Ciência, Tecnologia e Ensino Superior (CTES) da Comunidade, acordado na VI reunião de Ministros de CTES em Maputo, Moçambique, a 15 de abril de 2014. Para o efeito, usamos o método de análise de conteúdo do referido plano estratégico, bem como da declaração constitutiva da Comunidade de 1996, e comparamos estes documentos com o que consideramos ser o benchmark internacional de ação de uma organização multilateral em termos de coordenação e promoção de sinergias e externalidades positivas a partir de políticas nacionais de CTES, designadamente a Associação de Nações do Sudeste Asiático (ASEAN), que se encontra atualmente a implementar o seu quinto plano estratégico. A dotação do plano com recursos financeiros suficientes e previsíveis à sua implementação, a promoção de uma ação célere do grupo técnico executor da operacionalização para a implementação do plano e a alavancagem do seu potencial pela constituição de parcerias com outras entidades multilaterais, também regionais, a partir de estratégias pragmáticas de colaboração e cooperação conjuntas, baseadas em resultados e ações específicas, são os elementos identificados necessários para uma execução efetiva do plano.
We will assess the role of the Comunidade de Países de Língua Portuguesa (CPLP) as the implementing agent of the Community's first strategic plan of multilateral cooperation in the fields of Science, Technology and Higher Education (STHE), adopted on the sixth meeting of STHE Ministers, held in Maputo, Mozambique, on April 15th, 2014. For this purpose, we will use as methodology the discourse analysis to assess the plan and the CPLP's 1996 Constitutive Declaration, also comparing them to what we consider to be the world benchmark in international cooperation by a multilateral organization as coordinator and promoter of synergies and positive externalities, namely the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which is currently implementing its 5th strategic plan. The endowment of the plan with sufficient predictable funding resources for its implementation; the promotion of a prompt action of the working group for the execution and implementation of the plan and the need to leverage the plan's potential by setting partnerships with other multilateral institutions, also regionals, fed with pragmatic strategies of joint collaboration and cooperation and based on specific actions and results.

Abstract:

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the primary therapy administered for those afflicted with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We examined the effects of CPAP therapy on physiological variables during a ramped exercise. The five male, OSA patients had mean values and standard deviations for RDI=60.7 +/- 19.1, BMI=29.9 +/- 2.9, and age=56 +/- 16.1 yr. Subjects were examined before and after 4 wk of CPAP therapy. After 4 wk of CPAP therapy, patient responses to exercise showed a 17.6%, (p<0.05) improvement in rating of perceived exertion (RPE) at identical power outputs (60% of the individual's apparent functional capacity). Statistical significance was not attained (p>0.05) upon analysis of the following parameters at 60% of the individuals maximum workload although there was a trend showing a decrease in these variables: heart rate (6% improvement), VO2 (11.7% improvement) systolic blood pressure (4% improvement), and rate pressure product (8.6% improvement). This data shows that the decrease in RPE during 60% of the individual's maximum predicted HR reserve corresponded with an increase in sleep quality (mean increase of 40%, 3.2 units) as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index before and after 4 wk of CPAP therapy. It was concluded that the improvement in exercise tolerance could be attributed to the subjective feelings of improved sleep quality after 4 wk of CPAP therapy. Key Words: Obstructive sleep apnea---CPAP--- exercise---physiological responses.

Genom 7 kvalitativa intervjuer med patienter som har sömnapnésyndrom och som behandlas med CPAP-maskin, utfördes denna empiriska intervjustudie. Intervjuerna gjordes i patienternas hem eller via telefon. Den insamlade datan analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats och följande underteman framkom i analysen; compliance, CPAP-maskin och det dagliga livet som tillsammans skapade ett huvudtema: Att anpassa sig till CPAP och att göra framsteg i det dagliga livet. Patienternas upplevelser av CPAP var att den var omöjlig att leva utan och upplevelsen av att dagligt liv har förändrats. Det är av största vikt att patienten följer rekommendationer av behandlingen för att full effekt ska uppnås. Det är viktigt att informera om sömnapnésyndrom, om hur detta kan förebyggas, om risken för att drabbas, och om hur betydelsefull compliance är vid CPAP-behandlingNyckelord: CPAP, dagligt liv, empirisk studie, intervjuer, omvårdnad, patienter, sömnapnésyndrom, upplevelser

Abstract:

Mestrado em Gestão
Este relatório de estágio tem por objetivo analisar as exportações/importações de Portugal para os países da CPLP (Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa) e vice-versa. Os dados em análise são de 2008 a 2012, e só não foram usados os dados de 2013 e 2014 devido ao fato de serem dados preliminares. O intuito será nomear o país mais vantajoso para Portugal, como também qual o sector que beneficia mais a nível das exportações. Como também se vai analisar concretamente o distrito de Aveiro, mencionando assim qual o concelho mais e menos benéfico para o distrito e consequentemente qual o setor. No final, apresentamos os resultados do questionário realizado às empresas portuguesas que evidencia a realidade das exportações/importações de Portugal para a CPLP. Este relatório pretende ainda analisar quais os setores que a AIDA pode acrescentar ao projeto SIGAME que sejam benéficos para a exportação para os países pertencentes á CPLP pelas empresas associadas à Associação como também ao projeto. Também analisa-se quais os países da CPLP que são mais benéficos para a importação de bens para Portugal. Os resultados permitiram concluir que em Portugal o distrito que mais se destaca quer seja nas exportações como nas importações é Lisboa; em Aveiro nas importações temos o concelho de Aveiro, e nas exportações Santa Maria da Feira. Os países considerados mais vantajosos por parte das empresas portuguesas são Angola e Moçambique. Como também se verifica que o setor de onde mais se importa para Portugal é o petróleo bruto e em Aveiro são os produtos metálicos transformados.

Abstract:

This report summarises the key activities of the IM-CPD project, and explores in a reflexive manner the investigative processes used in achieving an innovative output - the publication on the Internet of the "Smart Continuing Professional Development Scheme". The IM-CPD project is a portfolio project, comprising a number of discrete activities linked by this common outcome, and this report builds on this investigation and experience by a further exploration of what it means to be a portfolio worker in the context of management development (the context of this project). The report concludes by detailing the very wide audience and huge impact which this project will have on 1M Membership and the management community at large, and provides examples of the significant internal publications which are inherent features of the major project and its external publication. Finally, the report explores a metaphor which more closely characterises portfolio working than previously published models - portfolio working as a Lava Lamp. Key conclusions and recommendations are drawn together, many of which have already been actioned within the timeframe of this study, leading to further ongoing recommendations which include: A wider range of "recognitions" should be identified as reward for effective participation in the IM-CPD scheme • Greater attention should be paid to the actual Process of 1M meetings. • Greater attention should be paid to contractual issues when the 1M offers parcels of work. • Further exploration of Boundaries and Tensions in portfolio working should be undertaken, to lead to potential conference publication of portfolio working issues. • Personal review of the whole DProfprocess should be undertaken, to identify further personal learning which can enhance my professional work in designing and running management development programmes.
