Full textThe aim of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge of the history of the 22nd province of Upper Egypt (Metenou) and its metropolis (Tepytihout) which remains are visible today at Atfih. The documentation collected is essentially of philological nature – the site has benefited from limited excavations – and religious. Thanks to this, several aspects with regard to sacred geography and worships of this province can be explained. Firstly, the study of the toponymy has allowed to identify some territories, then to define some mythological legends which are attached to them. Then, several exchanges between the 22nd province of Upper Egypt and the neighbouring regions are highlighted : religious influences coming from the Delta, very old links with the Fayum, which continue until the Roman period and common myths with the 17th and 18th provinces of Upper Egypt. Secondly, the nature of divinities, whose worship is currently attested in the province, is analysed. The study of the goddesses, Hathor, Isis, Hesat and Neith, suggests the possibility that the divine entity ‘First of the Cows’, which gives her name to the provincial capital Tepytihout, originates from the Fayum. Then, it is highlighted that, except for the god Sobek, masculine divinities which are venerated in the province, Harmotes and Osiris, were placed later within the local pantheon

Full textThe study presented as part of this thesis looks at graeco-roman portraits of children who were identified as carrier of a hairstyle which was qualified as “Horuslocke”, “the Horus sidelock”, during the first research on this topic in the 1950s. This hairstyle is characterised by a long lock of hair, either let loose or braided, separated from the rest of the hair which can be either long, short, or even shaved. The sidelock is generally represented on the right side of the head. However, it can also appear on the left side, on the back or on the top of the head. As its terminology implies, this hairstyle would originate from Egypt, where it existed since the Ancient Empire (2600 B.C.-2200 B.C.). Its use spread outside of the Egyptian sphere from the 3rd century B.C. It reached its peak in the 3rd century A.D in the Roman Empire. The evolution of this symbol during the graeco-roman period was subjected to different interpretations which punctuate the historiography devoted to it: age indicator playing a role in the rite of passage, sign of a cult initiation -more specifically in the Isiac cult, identity marker, or sometimes indication of a social status. At the crossroad between the History of Art and the History of Religion, the study of this portraits puts into light a few thematics, from the representation of children in Antiquity, to their places and roles in cults, particularly in the Isiac cult, along with questions regarding the initiation and practice of cultual offering in the graeco-roman world. Through this iconographic pattern, a part of the cultural and social identity of the children is unveiled

Adicionalmente explorou-se o efeito mediador da experiência de recuperação na relação entre horas de trabalho e equilíbrio trabalho-vida. Consideraram-se 174 participantes neste trabalho sendo que todos se encontravam a trabalhar no momento em que responderam ao questionário. A amostra recolhida foi bastante heterogenia, havendo uma predominância de participantes do sexo feminino (112 sujeitos), com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e os 65 anos, sendo na sua maioria licenciados (48,3%). Sendo o objetivo deste estudo testar o efeito mediador da experiência de recuperação na relação entre horas de trabalho e equilíbrio trabalho-vida, recorreu-se a uma análise de equações estruturais. Apesar de não se ter confirmado essa hipótese, realizou-se uma análise de carácter exploratório, tendo sido encontrado um efeito mediador do distanciamento psicológico na relação entre horas da atividade principal e equilíbrio trabalho-vida. Todas as variáveis demonstraram um efeito preditivo no equilíbrio trabalho-vida à exceção da estabilidade no emprego. Os resultados encontrados neste estudo permitem alertar as organizações para a importância de algumas práticas para o bom equilíbrio trabalho-vida, tão importante na vida dos indivíduos. Várias teorias suportam a ideia de que este equilíbrio é fundamental para o bom desempenho de ambos os papéis e para o bem-estar dos indivíduos. Permitem também consciencializar os trabalhadores, de que é possível recuperar das exigências laborais, desde que haja um empenho na experiência de recuperação.
ABSTRACT: The present research aims to study the effect of recovery experience, hours worked and job security in the work-life balance. For this study were considered 174 (all employed at the moment) and the sample collected was very distintic, having a predominance of women (112 subjects) with ages between 19 and 65 years old. Most part of them were graduated (48,3%). As the objective of this investigation was to study the mediator effect of recovery experiences in the relationship between hours worked and work-life balance, the data were analyzed with a structural equation modeling. As the hypothesis was not confirmed, exploratory analyzes were made, that suggested a mediator effect of psychological detachment in the relation between hours worked and work-life balance. All the variables showed a predictive effect on work-life balance with exception of job security. The results of this study are an alert to all organizations about the importance of some practices to accomplish a satisfying work-life balance, so important in individuals’ life. Several theories support the idea that this balance is crucial to a good performance in both roles (personal and professional) and for individuals’ well-being. They also allow workers to understand that it is possible to recover from work demands, as long as there’s a significant investment in the recovery experience.

Full textThe movie The Hours (Stephen Daldry, 2002), a filmic adaptation of the homonymous novel by Michael Cunningham (The Hours, 1998) is analyzed within the framework of Discourse Semiotics. Our main objective is the identification of the intertextual elements and the unveiling of their role in the process of construction of meaning effects deriving from the film. The chosen corpus consists of several intertexts, since it is based on Virgina Woolfs novel Mrs. Dalloway (first published in 1925) and on Woolfs biography, providing several levels of pertinence for interpretation and thus several levels of interpretation. Its analysis is, therefore, challenging, especially regarding the level of pertinence to be adopted. The text offers different levels of production of meaning effects, which depend on the competence of the enunciatee to identify references or citations. We start with an immanent analysis, i.e. strict to the movie, based on classic semiotics methodology (GREIMAS; COURTÉS, 2008 [1979]) and on its most recent developments (ZILBERBERG, 2006 [1988]; FONTANILLE, 1995; LANDOWSKI, 2004; 2005a; 2005b). We also treat issues such as intratextuality (GREIMAS; COURTÉS, 1986) and enunciated enunciation (DONDERO, 2013a; 2013b; 2014), showing how the movie reflects itself and the literary creation process, establishing itself as a metasemiotic object (KLINKENBERG, 2000). Finally, we discuss its intertextual figures (FIORIN, 2003) and its autonomy in the process of producing meaning (DISCINI, 2004 [2001]).

Full textO presente Trabalho Final de Mestrado tem como proposta a integração da 2ª Circular, no contexto urbano envolvente através do peão. Trata-se de uma infraestrutura viária, com caraterísticas de uma via rápida e de grande importância na dinâmica da cidade de Lisboa, que provoca uma descontinuidade na sua permeabilidade da cidade. Os problemas ecológicos que o seu congestionamento acarreta e, sobretudo por se encontrar ladeada de um tecido urbano maioritariamente consolidado, fazem com que a sua estrutura seja posta em questão. Consequentemente, é proposto pelo PDM de 2012 a reconversão da mesma numa avenida urbana para unir as margens.
ABSTRACT: This final work proposes the integration of 2ª Circular, a road infrastructure with characteristics of a highway of a great importance in dynamic of the city of Lisbon which provokes a discontinuity in its permeability. Due to the ecological problems its congestion causes and its location within an urban setting, its design has come under question. Consequently the 2012 PDM proposes the reconversion of the road in to an urban avenue to connect the two sides. This report represent a crucial element in the proposal resolution of the aforementioned problem, were theoretical reflection are addressed, and project fundamental to its urban design, which prioritize pedestrian, to create a more ecological .city. The majority of the world's population lives in cities and as such urban design is crucial to the quality of life of their inhabitants. Public space must therefore, be conceived with the pedestrian mind. The need to make these cities more self-sustainable puts an emphasis on more active modes of transport. In addition, the importance of reducing commuting distances requires more compact cities. Though a great diversity of land use, pedestrian movement become a more attractive during 24 hours , whist creating a safer environment as whole.

Full textReduzir o número de horas de trabalho normal é uma medida que tem sido adotada em muitos países com o objetivo de reduzir o desemprego, através da distribuição do trabalho por mais trabalhadores. Neste estudo é analisado o efeito do work sharing na economia portuguesa, particularmente comparando o que acontece, em termos de emprego, nos estabelecimentos que reduzem o número de horas de trabalho normal com aqueles que mantém ou aumentam esse número. Pode ser observado que a diminuição do número de horas normal tem um efeito significativo no aumento do emprego nos estabelecimentos, o que significa que uma redução do número de horas de trabalho normal pode ter um efeito significativo, mas pequeno, no aumento do emprego.
Reducing the number of standard working hours is a measure that has been used in many countries in order to reduce unemployment, by distributing work for more workers. In this study it is analyzed the effect of work sharing in the Portuguese economy, particularly by comparing the consequences, regarding employment, in establishments that reduce the number of standard working hours with those that maintain or increase it. It can be observed that the reduction of standard working hours have a significant effect on increasing employment of establishments. This means that the reduction of standard working hours may have a significant, but small effect on increasing employment of establishments.

Análise da temática da morte e da linguagem e estrutura musical em Ópera dos Mortos, de Autran Dourado, ressaltando a importância de uma leitura sócio-antropológica da obra. Embasa-se nos conceitos de alegoria de Walter Benjamin e de estrutura do mito, de Lévi-Strauss. Ressalta ser a morte (em sua dimensão física, metafísica, individual e social) a grande protagonista da ópera de Autran e estabelece a correlação entre estrutura formal e conteúdo: para retratar um universo cindido e plural, no qual cada voz introduz um fragmento distinto da (H)história, o tom musical assume a forma de uma fuga. Da bissetriz impossível destas vozes deriva a figura suprema da alegoria autraniana: a desintegração da experiência individual e coletiva.

Aconteceu em um dia específico, diferente de tantos outros dias nos quais apenas sobrevivi, alheia ao meu desejo e à sua incompatibilidade com as circunstâncias de então. Naquele dia, resolvi partir. Abandonei minha família em prol da vida. É possível morrer, era isso o que eu havia lido em minhas tantas leituras. Mrs Dalloway, recordo bem. O livro que me possibilitou este processo de ruptura; a literatura que me fez continuar em cena. É possível morrer. Este foi o momento de desvio: do fracasso e do caminho traçado. No processo de leitura, a história foi modificada. Ao deixar-me ser levada pelo texto, assumi a postura de autoria sobre minha vida, aceitando ouvir a voz que me é singular. Naquele dia, na hora exata do meu ato, atingi a felicidade plena. Estava lá, no tempo presente. (Laura Brown)

Full textThe risk of arbitrary detention is inherent to any repressive action and it increases when the individual is detained without having been judged. Is not he presumed innocent, at the end of the article 9 of the Declaration of 1789? Nevertheless, the necessities of the judicial research and the conservation of the law and order justified for a long time the temporary detention. The imprisonment without judgment is accepted as far as it is framed by precise procedures. However, often considered as opposite in the fundamental principles they are frequently questioned. That is why the first objective has to be the research for measures, less privative of rights, which allow as much as possible to avoid that the person is deprived of liberty. Propositions in this way can be made, as for example an intensification of the psychological accompaniment, or a modification of the relation to the idea of constraint, but that would generate a deep transformation of the French system

Full textA study for the rationalization of chartered bus operation serving blue-collar workers and school children is presented in this work. The research started with a comprehensive survey of the services supplied by the company. It was followed by an analysis of the existing operation system in order to identify rationalization strategies that would not worsen the service quality. The development of implementation plans for the selected strategies were the next step of the study along with the evaluation ofthe economic benefits resulting from those plans. A theoretical framework is presented in the first part of the text, in which the problems associated with the rationalization of people and goods transportation is discussed. The concepts of effectiveness and efficacy of chartered bus transport are also treated in the same section. Next, the labor legislation in force (Consolidation of the Labor Laws - C.L.T. and Collective Agreement of the Work of the Category) is reproduced and commented. This law constitutes the legal framework that regulates the workforce optimization, including drivers. Based on the case studied, the main conclusions are: it is difficult to reduce the fleet and the distance traveled by the company due the characteristics of the services supplied - the only way to reduce costs is to make a better use of the workforce (drivers) forcing a reduction of idle and overtime paid hours, which usually have greater values than the normal working hours. Finally, the study shows that the proposed plans for the rationalization of the workforce produce significant economic benefits.

Full textVarious non-intrusive laser diagnostic techniques are studied and applied to local measurements of microscopic and macroscopic variables in axisymetric Supersonic Free Jets (SFJ). A fully automatic computer driven laser deviation technique, coupled with Abel inversion mathematical technique, leads to local measurements of mass density in SFJ of Argon (Ar) and Nitrogen (N2), including the lateral shock and the Mach disk. Comparison with numerical calculation resulting from the method of three characteristics, yields satisfactory agreement. This experimental non-intrusive method is a good diagnostic technique of nozzle fabrication defects. Intra-cavity laser spontaneous Raman emission experiments and laser infrared absorption experiments are conducted for local rotational population measurements in SFJ of carbon monoxide (CO) diluted in helium (He). They lead to non-equilibrium rotational populations distribution for certain stagnation conditions. As part of a CO/NO vibration to electronic (V-E) energy transfer laser project. Supersonic shock tunnel experiments are conducted; a computer numerical code coupling fluid dynamics inviscid equations for quasi monodimensional flows, to vibration to vibration (V-V) and vibration to translation (V-T) kinetic equations is written. Numerical results for flows of CO and Ar mixtures, predict the non equilibrium V-V pumped vibrational populations distribution of CO, observed experimentally by different authors in the scientific litterature. Nozzle geometry and stagnation conditions influences on the clown stream vibrational populations distribution are deduced and discussed. Nitric Oxide (NO) is injected downstream the nozzle ; inelastic collisions between vibrationally excited CO and NO is expected to yield electronically excited NO. Predicted NO β band laser gain and intensity are evaluated in the optical cavity downstream the NO injectors

Estudos empíricos anteriores mostram que quando as decisões são tomadas num contexto de incerteza e quando existem custos de ajustamento lineares ou fixos (não convexos), as empresas não ajustam continuamente o nível de emprego de forma a acomodar choques da procura do seu produto. Consequentemente, emergem períodos de inércia o que é suficiente para produzir histerese. Nesta dissertação estuda-se a existência de histerese da dinâmica do emprego ao nível da empresa e ao nível agregado. Em primeiro lugar, efectua-se uma descrição do padrão de ajustamento do emprego a nível microeconómico e estuda-se a sua relação com três fontes de inércia: i) a existência de custos de ajustamento não convexos; ii) a existência de incerteza na dinâmica da procura agregada; iii) a possibilidade de utilização da margem intensiva de ajustamento do factor trabalho (ajustamento através do número de horas por trabalhador). Segundo, analisamos as implicações agregadas do comportamento microeconómico observado. Se ao nível microeconómico os modelos de histerese oferecem uma boa explicação para a observação empírica, ao nível macroeconómico tem-se revelado mais difícil identificar a existência de histerese na dinâmica do emprego. De facto, as séries agregadas do emprego tendem a ser mais alisadas, e por essa razão, aparentemente inconsistentes coma existência de histerese. No entanto, se tivermos em conta as diferentes propriedades da histerese fraca (histerese ao nível micro) e da histerese forte (histerese ao nível macro) e se considerarmos a existência de empresas heterogéneas, isto é, se o problema da agregação for explicitamente considerado, como deve ser na presença de custos de ajustamento não convexos, então deverá ser possível verificar a existência de sinais de histerese ao nível macroeconómico. A análise empírica foi efectuada com dados mensais de empresas industriais portuguesas ao longo de um período de 11 anos. A amostra contém informação sobre o nível de emprego e sobre o nível de horas de trabalho e sobre um conjunto de outras variáveis que podem ser utilizadas como proxies de choques. No sentido de obter uma primeira aproximação ao processo de ajustamento do emprego, efectuamos uma análise descritiva sobre a variação líquida do emprego e testamos a existência de histerese ao nível da empresa através da estimação de um modelo de resposta assimétrica do emprego, interpretado á luz do modelo de histerese Non-Ideal Relay. De forma a testar a existência de histerese na dinâmica do emprego a nível agregado, aplicamos testes construídos com base em métodos computacionais baseados no modelo de Preisach e no Linear Play Model de histerese. No sentido de comparar os resultados a nível internacional, aplicamos os testes referidos a dados agregados da OCDE e EUROSTAT de 19 países da OCDE.Concluímos que: i) existem sinais claros da existência de inércia ao nível microeconómico causada pela existência de custos de ajustamento não convexos e pela possibilidade de ajustamento através da variação do número de horas de trabalho por trabalhador; ii) os sinais de histerese que normalmente se encontram ao nível microeconómico não se desvanecessem totalmente ao nível macroeconómico; iii) as propriedades de histerese são particularmente relevantes na dinâmica do emprego das empresas pequenas; iv) encontramos evidência significativa sobre a interacção entre a flexibilidade do ajustamento do factor trabalho através da variação do número de horas de trabalho por trabalhador e a existência de histerese no emprego. Ao contrário, não encontramos evidência significativa sobre a interacção entre a existência de incerteza na dinâmica da procura agregada e a existência de histerese no emprego. Estes resultados mostram que a dinâmica do emprego a nível agregado é condicionada significativamente pela existência de um padrão de ajustamento discreto ao nível microeconómico.
Previous empirical studies have shown that when decisions are made under uncertainty and adjustment costs are fixed or linear in structure (non-convex), firms do not permanently adjust employment in order to accommodate demand shocks. Consequent to this, periods of inertia would emerge and that is sufficient to produce hysteresis. This dissertation studies the existence of hysteresis in the dynamic path of employment at the firm and aggregate level. Firstly, we describe the path of micro-level employment and we establish its relationship with three sources of inertia: i) the existence of non-convex costs of adjustment; ii) uncertainty concerning the dynamics of aggregate product demand; iii) utilization of the intensive margin of adjustment of the labor input (adjustment through hours per employee). Secondly, we analyze the aggregate implications of the observed micro behavior. If at the micro level models of hysteresis offer a good explanation for the empirical evidence, at the macro level it has been more difficult to identify the existence of hysteresis in the dynamics of employment. Aggregate series of employment tend to look smoother and, for that reason, they are apparently inconsistent with the presence of hysteresis. However, if we take into consideration the different properties of weak hysteresis (hysteresis at the micro level) and strong hysteresis (hysteresis at the macro level), and if we take into account firms heterogeneity, i.e. if the problem of aggregation is explicitly considered as it should be in the presence of non-convex costs of adjustment, it would still be possible to uncover signs of hysteresis at the macro-level. The empirical analysis was carried out with a monthly panel of Portuguese manufacturing firms spanning a period of eleven years. This dataset has information on both employment and hours of work as well as on a good set of other variables that may be taken as proxies for shocks. To obtain a first insight into the process of employment adjustment, we provide some descriptive statistics on net employment changes, and to test the existence of hysteresis at the micro level we estimate a model of employment asymmetric response with path dependence interpreted under the Non-Ideal Relay model of hysteresis. To test the existence of hysteresis in the aggregate employment dynamics, we apply tests constructed with the help of computational methods based on the Preisach Model and on the Linear Play Model of Hysteresis. To put our results in an international setting, the aggregate analysis was also made with aggregate data from OECD and EUROSTAT. We conclude that: i) there are strong signs of the existence of sources of employment inertia at micro level, caused by non-convex adjustment costs and by the adjustment of labor input through the number of hours per employee; ii) signs of hysteresis commonly found at the micro level, do not completely vanish at the macro level; iii) hysteresis properties are particularly discernible for small firms even if they are less so in the case of larger units; vi) we find strong evidence of the interrelations between the flexibility of the labor input adjustment through hours of work and the existence of aggregate employment hysteresis, but only weak evidence of the interrelations between the existence of uncertainty in the dynamics of aggregate demand and hysteresis. These findings imply that aggregate employment is significantly shaped by lumpy adjustment at the micro level.

Estudos empíricos anteriores mostram que quando as decisões são tomadas num contexto de incerteza e quando existem custos de ajustamento lineares ou fixos (não convexos), as empresas não ajustam continuamente o nível de emprego de forma a acomodar choques da procura do seu produto. Consequentemente, emergem períodos de inércia o que é suficiente para produzir histerese. Nesta dissertação estuda-se a existência de histerese da dinâmica do emprego ao nível da empresa e ao nível agregado. Em primeiro lugar, efectua-se uma descrição do padrão de ajustamento do emprego a nível microeconómico e estuda-se a sua relação com três fontes de inércia: i) a existência de custos de ajustamento não convexos; ii) a existência de incerteza na dinâmica da procura agregada; iii) a possibilidade de utilização da margem intensiva de ajustamento do factor trabalho (ajustamento através do número de horas por trabalhador). Segundo, analisamos as implicações agregadas do comportamento microeconómico observado. Se ao nível microeconómico os modelos de histerese oferecem uma boa explicação para a observação empírica, ao nível macroeconómico tem-se revelado mais difícil identificar a existência de histerese na dinâmica do emprego. De facto, as séries agregadas do emprego tendem a ser mais alisadas, e por essa razão, aparentemente inconsistentes coma existência de histerese. No entanto, se tivermos em conta as diferentes propriedades da histerese fraca (histerese ao nível micro) e da histerese forte (histerese ao nível macro) e se considerarmos a existência de empresas heterogéneas, isto é, se o problema da agregação for explicitamente considerado, como deve ser na presença de custos de ajustamento não convexos, então deverá ser possível verificar a existência de sinais de histerese ao nível macroeconómico. A análise empírica foi efectuada com dados mensais de empresas industriais portuguesas ao longo de um período de 11 anos. A amostra contém informação sobre o nível de emprego e sobre o nível de horas de trabalho e sobre um conjunto de outras variáveis que podem ser utilizadas como proxies de choques. No sentido de obter uma primeira aproximação ao processo de ajustamento do emprego, efectuamos uma análise descritiva sobre a variação líquida do emprego e testamos a existência de histerese ao nível da empresa através da estimação de um modelo de resposta assimétrica do emprego, interpretado á luz do modelo de histerese Non-Ideal Relay. De forma a testar a existência de histerese na dinâmica do emprego a nível agregado, aplicamos testes construídos com base em métodos computacionais baseados no modelo de Preisach e no Linear Play Model de histerese. No sentido de comparar os resultados a nível internacional, aplicamos os testes referidos a dados agregados da OCDE e EUROSTAT de 19 países da OCDE.Concluímos que: i) existem sinais claros da existência de inércia ao nível microeconómico causada pela existência de custos de ajustamento não convexos e pela possibilidade de ajustamento através da variação do número de horas de trabalho por trabalhador; ii) os sinais de histerese que normalmente se encontram ao nível microeconómico não se desvanecessem totalmente ao nível macroeconómico; iii) as propriedades de histerese são particularmente relevantes na dinâmica do emprego das empresas pequenas; iv) encontramos evidência significativa sobre a interacção entre a flexibilidade do ajustamento do factor trabalho através da variação do número de horas de trabalho por trabalhador e a existência de histerese no emprego. Ao contrário, não encontramos evidência significativa sobre a interacção entre a existência de incerteza na dinâmica da procura agregada e a existência de histerese no emprego. Estes resultados mostram que a dinâmica do emprego a nível agregado é condicionada significativamente pela existência de um padrão de ajustamento discreto ao nível microeconómico.
Previous empirical studies have shown that when decisions are made under uncertainty and adjustment costs are fixed or linear in structure (non-convex), firms do not permanently adjust employment in order to accommodate demand shocks. Consequent to this, periods of inertia would emerge and that is sufficient to produce hysteresis. This dissertation studies the existence of hysteresis in the dynamic path of employment at the firm and aggregate level. Firstly, we describe the path of micro-level employment and we establish its relationship with three sources of inertia: i) the existence of non-convex costs of adjustment; ii) uncertainty concerning the dynamics of aggregate product demand; iii) utilization of the intensive margin of adjustment of the labor input (adjustment through hours per employee). Secondly, we analyze the aggregate implications of the observed micro behavior. If at the micro level models of hysteresis offer a good explanation for the empirical evidence, at the macro level it has been more difficult to identify the existence of hysteresis in the dynamics of employment. Aggregate series of employment tend to look smoother and, for that reason, they are apparently inconsistent with the presence of hysteresis. However, if we take into consideration the different properties of weak hysteresis (hysteresis at the micro level) and strong hysteresis (hysteresis at the macro level), and if we take into account firms heterogeneity, i.e. if the problem of aggregation is explicitly considered as it should be in the presence of non-convex costs of adjustment, it would still be possible to uncover signs of hysteresis at the macro-level. The empirical analysis was carried out with a monthly panel of Portuguese manufacturing firms spanning a period of eleven years. This dataset has information on both employment and hours of work as well as on a good set of other variables that may be taken as proxies for shocks.

Full textHave a quantitative of nursing professionals that meet the demand for assistance to each patient is a fundamental part of the critical patient care. This study aimed to compare and analyze the relationship between quantitative available hours and hours required for the nursing care to patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit. This is an exploratory and descriptive cross-sectional study, based on retrospective data. It was held in a hospital that provides 193 medical surgical clinic inpatient beds, which 36 are intended for intensive therapy. The nursing staff in intensive care unit is composed of 22 nurses and 105 technicians/nursing assistants. For data collection were used two instruments, being the first one to clientele characterization, inpatient data survey and measurement of the patients severity according to prognostic index APACHE II. The second instrument was the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) that measures the care needs of each patient. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the unit occupancy rate during the study period was 88.8% and the average of patients stay was 8.3 days. The sample was formed mostly by men (63.45%), with age over 60 years (73.2%) and among these 39% (16) had 75 years or more. The causes of hospitalization in the ICU were due clinical complications. The APACHE II score average was 17.8 points and the overall average of the NAS was 87.7 points (± 10.3). The average of daily headcount was 23.6 nursing professionals in the 24 hours or 7.9 per shift between nurses and nursing assistants/technicians. However, the need identified by the application of the instrument for the 24 hours was 14 professionals per shift or 42 professionals in the 24 hours. Converting this amount in hours of care we can affirm that the patients received 57.2% of nursing care they would need. The results made possible to affirm that the patients have generated a high workload of nursing while they were in the unit and the professionals amount adjustment is an essential requirement to secure assistance in this studied unit.

Full textThis thesis is an analysis of new forms of familiar arrangements and the AIDS epidemic as presented in Michael Cunninghams The Hours. In order to discuss familiar experiences in the novel, the characters Laura Brown and Clarissa Vaughan were analyzed in terms of their queer and normative identities, respectively. In reference to the AIDS epidemic, its metaphorical potentiality in literature was discussed, mainly in relation to the character Richard Brown. The contextualization of the syndrome in the American scenario and its impact over the gay community were also examined.
