Повний текст джерелаCryptosporidium parvum is a common surface water contaminant that can cause illness in human beings. The presence of this etiological agent in groundwater identifies the groundwater as under the direct influence (GWUDI) of surface water. Currently the determination of SWUDI water sources requires an expensive, labor-intensive laboratory procedure call the Microscopic Particulate Analysis (MPA). The results of the MPA provide a risk index that rates the degree of surface water contamination. The objective of this study is to identify other methods of identifying GWUDI of surface waters, such as well characteristics and hydrogeologic factors which may contribute to higher MPA risk indices. In order to determine which public water systems that are GWUDI, a total of sixty-two wells a water treatment systems suspected of bein GWUDI were investigated. The wells sampled were distributed across seven countried in the Central Florida region. Water samples were collected and analyzed at the Department of Health Laboratory in Tampa, Florida using the MPA. The study also investigated the well characteristics and the hydrogeology of the well locations. The results also showed that 13% of the wells sampled were in the high risk range while 29% and 58% of the wells sampled were within the moderate and low risk ranges, respectively. It was also observed that some well characteristics and the hydrogeology of an area generally influence the MPA risk index. The results also suggested that older well tend to have higher risk. Karst regions were observed to be susceptible to a higher risk than sandy areas.

Повний текст джерелаNowadays many social scientists defend the advantages to define a measure of well being able to complement the GDP per capita. This work project proposes a new index of human development: the happiness index. Many studies have been undertaken in order to determine the best measurement of happiness. Happiness is much more than just feeling good, it is also living and doing well. Thus, in order to create a measure of happiness, it is required to evaluate all factors that intervene and, on the other hand, to consider the best practices, combining growth, environmental sustainability and efficiency. The estimation was made based on data for 83 countries, and then applied to 130 countries in the period 1997-2005. Countries with the highest GDP per capita or Human Development Index are not the ones with the higher happiness index.

Повний текст джерелаEl presente estudio evaluó el efecto de las variables satisfacción con la vida, autopercepción de salud, apoyo social y estilos de enfrentamiento sobre el bienestar subjetivo. Se contó con una muestra de 122 adultos mayores mexicanos del Estado de Yucatán, en la ciudad de Mérida con un rango de edad de 60 a 93 años. Los resultados en mujeres muestran que los estilos de enfrentamiento son predictores del bienestar subjetivo en los afectos negativos. En cuanto a la dimensión cognitiva del bienestar subjetivo, la autopercepción de salud, los estilos de enfrentamiento y la satisfacción con la vida fueron predictores adecuados. En hombres, los resultados demuestran que la dimensión cognitiva del bienestar subjetivo fue predicha a partir de la satisfacción con la vida y los estilos de enfrentamiento. Los hallazgos muestran la importancia del profundizar y promover variables psicosociales en los adultos mayores.

Повний текст джерелаEl objetivo de este estudio es el desarrollo de una escala breve para la evaluación del bienestar psicológico en adolescentes, la revisión de sus características psicométricas. En el mismo sentido se intentó verificar la presencia de diferencias individuales entre el sexo, la edad y el lugar de residencia de los sujetos evaluados. Los participantes son adolescentes entre las edades de 13 a 18 años (N= 1270) de tres regiones de la Argentina (Región Metropolitana, Noroeste y Patagonia). Los instrumentos administrados son la escala de bienestar (BIEPS-J), otras escalas tradicionales para la evaluación de la satisfacción (Escala SWLS y D-T) y un listado de síntomas psicopatológicos (SCL-90). Los resultados señalan que las escalas clásicas que evalúan satisfacción con la vida resultan indicadores poco válidos para una evaluación del bienestar psicológico autopercibido, considerando las dimensiones teóricas comentadas. Las variables género, edad y contexto sociocultural no parecen afectar la percepción subjetiva del bienestar psicológico.

Estas variables fueron analizadas en 80 pobladores de la comunidad. A través de un modelo estructural se observa que el autoestereotipo positivo general incide positivamente sobre la autoestima colectiva, mientras que el autoestereotipo de baja eficacia, atenúa la misma. Por su parte la autoestima colectiva incrementa el grado de identificación. Los componentes autoestereotípicos presentan relaciones de influencia con distintas expresiones del bienestar. Así, el autoestereotipo de baja eficacia incide negativamente en el bienestar social y el autoestereotipo de corrupción influye negativamente en el bienestar psicológico. Finalmente, se observa que el bienestar social influye en el bienestar psicológico, y este en el bienestar subjetivo.

Estas variáveis foram analisadas em 80 moradores da comunidade. Através de um modelo estrutural mostra-se que o auto-este- reótipo positivo geral aumenta a autoestima coletiva, enquanto o auto-estereótipo de baixa eficácia, diminui a mesma. Enquanto isso, a autoestima coletiva aumenta o grau de iden- tificação com a comunidade. As dimensões do auto-estereótipo tem relações de influência com as diferentes expressões do bem-estar. Assim, o auto-estereótipo de baixa eficácia afeta negativamente o bem-estar social e o auto-estereótipo de corrupção afeta negativamente o bem-estar psicológico. Finalmente, observa-se que o bem-estar social influencia o bem-estarpsicológico, e este influencia o bem-estar subjetivo.

Se analizó si existían diferencias en la variable valores en el trabajo para confirmar si las regiones eran culturalmente diferentes entre sí. Luego se diseñó un modelo teórico donde se contemplaron como variables la discrepancia entre teorías implícitas, calidad de la relación con el superior y bienestar en la organización. Los resultados muestran que las cuatro regiones presentan diferencias entre sí en cuanto a orientaciones respecto de los valores en el trabajo. Las regiones Noroeste y Patagonia muestran grandes diferencias entre sí y en referencia a las dos regiones restantes(Pampeana y Noreste). El modelo es parcialmente generalizable dado que se han encontradodiferencias en las regiones en algunas de las relaciones teóricas propuestas. -- The generalizability of a theoretical model is studied in several regions of Argentina. Participantswere 1009 people (440 men and 569 women) from four regions. We analyzed the differences in the variable values at work to confirm if the regions were culturally differentfrom each other. Next we designed a theoretical model where the variables were: discrepancy between implicit theories, quality of relationship with the superior and well-being in theorganization. Results showed that the four regions displayed differences on values orientations. The Northwest and Patagonia regions showed the greatest differences in comparison with the two remaining regions. The model is partially generalizable since there are differencesbetween regions in some of the proposed theoretical relations.

The Woodford Shale (Oklahoma, U.S.A.) is a prolific unconventional hydrocarbon resource. The Woodford has been shown to be heterogeneous in many geochemical, mineralogical, and rock mechanic properties across the state of Oklahoma, which presents a challenge to successful exploitation of this resource (Caldwell, 2014; Turner et al., 2015; Wiley, 2015; Zhang et al., 2017). Most prior studies of the Woodford Shale report properties from a single sample collected from a vertical well, which reports these values as a single point source on a distribution map. Studies using outcrop localities report lateral variations in several rock properties of the Woodford, but are limited to the short distances an outcrop provides (Turner et al., 2015). The main focus of this research is to determine whether rock properties important to the productivity of the Woodford Shale vary across a lateral well bore within the Woodford shale. Measurements of chemical and mineralogical compositions were performed on rock cutting samples from a single horizontal well path of the Carleigh 6H-32 across approximately one mile. The mineral makeup was determined by use of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and elemental concentrations were determined by hand-held X-ray fluorescence (HHXRF). What was found is that the Upper and Middle Woodford Shale are relatively homogeneous laterally. The lack of variation means that it’s possible to determine from which subgroup samples may have been taken. The geochemical data were used to calculate a mineral-based brittleness index (Wang and Gale, 2009), which was compared to the measured frack gradient across perforations of the Carleigh 6H-32 well. In addition, the total organic matter content (TOC) was approximated in the same samples using loss on ignition (LOI) methods. The calculated mineralogy within samples assigned to the Middle Woodford show some variability throughout the horizontal well, which leads to an associated variation in mineral brittleness index when using the Wang and Gale (2009) formula. The mineral based brittleness index correlates with observed fracture gradient during well completion. This suggests that the tendency to fracture is also variable along the well path, which should be considered during design of the well completion.

Повний текст джерелаThe construct of subjective well-being within child well-being and quality of life research has become increasingly prominent in recent years. Central to such developments is the question of to what extent children’s subjective experiences of well-being can be compared cross-culturally. Given the paucity of empirical research on the topic of cross-cultural comparisons, the importance of validating current measures of subjective well-being has been emphasized by many researchers as critical in contributing to the international dialogue. The aim of the current study was to test a measure of subjective well-being (the Personal Well-being Index – School Children) amongst a sample of children from Cape Town, Western Cape Province, South Africa. Given the diversity of experience between children from different language groups in South Africa, the study further aimed to determine the extent to which the measures are comparable across two language groups (Afrikaans and English). Data from the Children’s World Survey were used; and include a sample of 1004 children randomly selected from 15 schools within the Cape Town Metropole. Located within the goodness of fit theoretical framework, confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the overall fit structure and multi-group factor analysis, with Scalar and Metric invariance constraints. The results show appropriate fit structure for the overall model, with Scalar and Metric factor invariance tenable across language groups. The overall findings suggest that the Personal Well-being Index – School Children is appropriate for use with English and Afrikaans children in Western Cape Province, South Africa, and that scores between these groups can be compared by regressions, correlations, and means.

Повний текст джерелаThis article analyzes if life conditions in the National University of the Peruvian Amazon assured six young Awajun their well-being. It ponders several questions; what is the emic meaning of being well?, Could young migrants satisfy their socio-economic and affective needs?, which are the strategies used to perform as students? To answer these questions, a qualitative methodology and different ethnographic techniques such as interviews, focus groups, observations and life stories were used. And different actors such as student colleagues, teachers, university authorities, were observed and interviewed. The expression chichinmanum weamu, translated from Awajún as going against the current, describes a situation that many young natives who try to become graduates go through. Young Awajun thought that being good meant having all the basic services, goods and resources needed to develop as students, which also implied having fluid relationships with peers and teachers. The study reached the conclusion that young Awajun were not entirely satisfied. However, the social capital developed through the Student Organization of the Indigenous Peoples of the Peruvian Amazon did ensure their survival in Iquitos.

Повний текст джерелаSchools, world-wide, have been regarded as important settings for health promotion and health education. Research indicate that schools constitute a crucial setting for programmes that aim at promoting the health of children, young adults, their families and their community, and could make a positive contribution to the overall health of the society. The psychosocial theory of human development proposes to understand and describe the importance of psychosocial health and well-being of children, in their different stages of development, across the life span, as well as how the different environments of the child's rearing could either add, or hinder, optimal development. Healthy Early Childhood Development, which includes physical, social-emotional, as well as linguistic/cognitive development, is fundamental to success and happiness, not only during childhood, but throughout the course of life. This study, therefore, aimed to design a School Health Index Score Card that assesses psychosocial health and well-being in Early Childhood Development at primary schools in the rural Western Cape. The School Well-Being Model serves as a conceptual framework for this study and is based on Allardt's Sociological Welfare Theory,which assesses well-being as an entity in a school setting. This model takes into account the impact of family, social relationships, personal self-fulfilment and health aspects of children. This study used a mixed methodological sequential explanatory design that consisted of two distinct phases (with 2 stages in each phase) within a participatory action research framework. A needs assessment and a systematic review was conducted in phase 1 followed by phase 2, action planning-design of a school health index score card and a Delphi technique study. Quantitative, numeric, data were collected and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences V23 (SPSS) for descriptive and inferential statistics first, while the qualitative data were collected and analysed secondly in sequence for this design. The qualitative process helped to explain, or elaborate, on the quantitative results obtained from the respondents by means of a self-administered questionnaire that consisted of three sections; demographical information and the adaptation of the (i) Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) and (ii) Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. The data were collected from teachers, principals, community leaders, parents/primary caregivers, members of school governing bodies, school nurses, social workers, health promotion officers, experts in early childhood development and school psychologists of learners in Grade R to Grade 3 at three primary schools in the rural Western Cape, South Africa. The systematic review of previous studies revealed that, (i) instruments are often designed to identify physical ailments, the individual’s ability to adjust to particular situations, psychiatric diagnosis, educational and intellectual abilities, as well as the personal characteristics of children over their entire lifespan, (ii) that promotion of psychosocial health and well-being challenges in early development does promote positive child development outcomes in later life, and (iii) the use of a valid and reliable instrument to assess psychosocial health and well-being in schools could have a number of advantages for children, their families, teachers and the community. The findings of the current study also indicated that, (i) parents/primary perceived their children to be experiencing challenges in school functioning, social functioning and physical functioning continually and, (ii) teachers perceived the learners to be experiencing social behavioural, hyperactive and behavioural challenges continually at school. Schools play an integral part in the lives of children and their families, by supporting children to form social and emotional relationships at school. Overall, this current study suggested that the School Health Index Score Card was considered to be user friendly, as well as a useful tool to assess the psychosocial health and well-being challenges of learners at primary schools in a South African context.

Grübner, Oliver. "A spatial epidemiological approach on well-being in urban slums." Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät II, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/16432.
Повний текст джерелаUrban health is of global concern because the majority of the world’s population lives in urban areas, mainly in the global south. Although mental health problems (e.g., depression) in developing countries are highly prevalent, such issues are not yet adequately addressed in the rapidly urbanising megacities of these countries, where a growing number of residents live in slums. Little is known about the spectrum and burden of mental disease in urban slums. Using a spatial-epidemiological approach, this thesis identifies factors that contribute to mental well-being in the slums of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, which currently accommodates an estimated population of more than 14 million, including 3.4 million slum dwellers. The baseline data from a cohort study conducted in early 2009 in nine slums of Dhaka were used. Data were collected from 1,938 adults (≥15 years). The WHO-5 Well-being Index was used as a measure of self-rated mental well-being. It was found that mental well-being was significantly associated with various factors such as selected features of the natural environment, flood non-affectedness, sanitation, and housing quality, sufficiency and durability. Further associations with population density, job satisfaction, and income generation were identified while adjusting for individual factors such as age, gender, diseases, health knowledge, and migration. Spatial clusters of poor and good mental well-being among different population groups were detected and point to severe health disparities both within and between the slums. Diverse neighbourhood conditions affected mental well-being differently from personal and household level characteristics. Given that mental health conditions could elevate the risk for physical diseases and contribute to injuries, this thesis may provide crucial information for developing better health care and disease prevention programmes in Dhaka’s slums and other comparable settings.

Apertura al cambio se asocia con felicidad, siendo más fuerte la asociación en inmigrantes que en estudiantes. Los valores conservacionistas se asocian homogéneamente. Un segundo estudio sobre criterios de salud psicosocial y bienestar subjetivo -analizando un país sudamericano colectivista y jerárquico como Brasil, y otro europeo más individualista e igualitario como España- confirma que los valores conservacionistas, así como los de apertura al cambio y auto trascendencia, son deseables y favorecen el bienestar.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Genetic screening to improve obesity treatment outcomes is available despite the lack of conclusive evidence, specifically for Caucasian South Africans, in this regard. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between genotype (seven polymorphisms) and body mass index (BMI), health and lifestyle indicators in a cross-sectional sample of overweight/obese Caucasian adults (n=133), as well as the association between genotype and weight loss outcomes following an intervention (n=88) using a quasi experimental study design (time-series). The intervention consisted of a 24-week conservative weight loss programme that included dietary, physical activity and behavioural components. The primary null hypothesis for the cross-sectional sample, namely that there is no association between genotype and BMI, has not been rejected. A number of the secondary/exploratory hypotheses were rejected of which the most plausible associations (based on support by the literature and a physiological basis for the findng) are: 1) the mutant TT homozygotes of the GNB3 C825T polymorphism may have a higher risk to develop the metabolic syndrome (MetS) as they had significantly higher fasting triglyceride and glucose levels, a higher number of traits that met the diagnostic cut-off criteria for MetS and higher number of these subjects was diagnosed with MetS compared to the wild-type C-allele carriers; and 2) subjects with mutant alleles of either the FTO rs1421085 or rs17817449 polymorphisms may have poorer eating behaviours (a higher rigid control, habitual and emotional disinhibition, perceived hunger and internal locus for hunger) and higher intake of high-fat foods. The primary null hypothesis for the intervention sample, namely that there is no association between genotype and weight loss outcome, was not rejected for the FABP2 Ala54Thr, INSIG2 rs7566605, FTO rs1421085, ADRB3 Trp64Arg and GNB3 C825T polymorphisms. However, it was rejected in some instances indicating the following associations: 1) The wild-type TT homozygotes of the FTO rs17817449 polymorphism lost significantly more weight during the first two months of the program compared to the mutant allele carriers (this is a novel finding); 2) The wild-type Arg16Arg homozygotes of the ADRB2 Arg16Gly polymorphism lost significantly more weight during the first month of the program compared to the mutant allele carriers (this finding is supported by one other intervention study); 3) Subjects with a mutant C-allele of the INSIG2 rs7566605 polymorphism and a mutant Gly16-allele of the ADRB2 Arg16Gly polymorphism lost significantly less weight over the six month intervention period (this is a novel genegene interaction finding). A number of secondary/exploratory hypotheses were rejected, of which the most plausible finding include that the improvement in emotional disinhibition in the wild-type TT subjects of the FTO rs1421085 polymorphism was associated with a more pronounced decrease in BMI over the six month weight loss period. The integration of the results from this study with the literature indicates that there is insufficient evidence at this stage for genetic screening of the polymorphisms investigated in this study and the provision of evidence-based personalized recommendations for weight loss in obese individuals. It is recommended that these associations should be viewed as priority in future research.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Genetiese sifting om die resultate van vetsug behandeling te verbeter is beskikbaar ten spyte van ‘n tekort aan genoegsame bewyse, spesifiek ten opsigte van Kaukasiërs van Suid-Afrika. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die assosiasie tussen genotipe (sewe polimorfismes) en liggaamsmassa indeks (LMI), gesondheid en lewenstyl indikatore in ‘n dwarssnit (cross-sectional) steekproef van oorgewig/vetsugtige Kaukasiër volwassenes (n=133) te ondersoek, asook die assosiasie tussen genotipe en gewigsverlies uitkomste na afloop van ‘n intervensie (n=88) in ‘n kwasi-eksperimentele studie ontwerp (tydreeks). Die intervensie het bestaan uit ‘n 24-week konserwatiewe gewigsverlies program met dieet, fisieke aktiwiteit en gedragskomponente. Die primêre nul hipotese vir die dwarsnit steekproef, naamlik dat daar geen assosiasie tussen genotipe en LMI is nie, is nie verwerp nie. ‘n Aantal sekondêre/spekulatiewe hipotesis is verwerp waarvan die mees geloofwaardige assosiasies (gebasseer op ondersteuning van die literatuur en ‘n fisiologiese basis vir die bevinding) die volgende insluit: 1) die mutante TT homosigote van die GNB3 C825T polimorfisme het moontlik ‘n hoër risiko vir die ontwikkeling van die metaboliese sindroom (MetS) aangesien hulle betekenisvolle hoër vastende trigliseriede en glukose vlakke gehad het, ‘n grooter aantal kenmerke gehad het wat aan die diagnostiese afsnykriteria vir MetS voldoen en ‘n grooter aantal van hierdie persone was met MetS gediagnoseer in vergelyking met die wilde-tipe C-alleel draers; en 2) persone met die mutante allele van die FTO rs1421085 of rs17817449 polimorfismes het moontlik ‘n swakker eetgedrag (‘n hoër rigiede kontrole, gewoonte en emosionele disinhibisie, waarneembare honger en interne lokus van honger) en ‘n hoër inname van hoë-vet voedsel. Die primêre nul hipotese vir die intervensie steekproef, naamlik dat daar geen assosiasie tussen genotipe en gewigsverlies uitkomste is nie, is nie vir die FABP2 Ala54Thr, INSIG2 rs7566605, FTO rs1421085, ADRB3 Trp64Arg en GNB3 C825T polimorfismes verwerp nie. Dit was egter in sommige gevalle vir die volgende assosiasies verwerp: 1) Die wilde-tipe TT homosigote van die FTO rs17817449 polimorfisme het betekenisvol meer gewig in die eerste twee maande van die program verloor in vergelyking met die mutante alleel draers (dit is ‘n nuwe bevinding); 2) Die wilde-tipe Arg16Arg homosigote van die ADRB2 Arg16Gly polimorfisme het betekenisvol meer gewig gedurende die eerste maand van die program verloor in vergelyking met die mutante alleel draers (hierdie bevinding word ondersteun deur een ander intervensie studie); 3) Persone met ‘n mutante C-alleel van die INSIG2 rs7566605 polimorfisme en ‘n mutante Gly16-allele van die ADRB2 Arg16Gly polimorfisme het minder gewig tydens die ses maande intervensie periode verloor (dit is ‘n nuwe geen-geen interaksie bevinding). ‘n Aantal sekondêre/ spekulatiewe hipoteses is verwerp, waarvan die mees geloofwaardigste bevinding insluit dat ‘n verbetering in emosionele disinhibisie van die wild-tipe TT persone van die FTO rs1421085 polimorfisme geassosieer was met ‘n meer prominente daling in LMI oor die ses maande gewigsverlies periode. Die integrasie van die resultate van hierdie navorsing met die literatuur dui aan dat daar op hierdie stadium onvoldoende bewyse vir genetiese sifting en die voorsiening van bewys-gebasseerde persoonlike aanbevelings vir gewigsverlies in vetsugtig individue bestaan vir die polimorfismes wat ondersoek is. Dit word aanbeveel dat hierdie assosiasies as prioriteit in toekomstige navorsing beskou moet word.

Повний текст джерелаThis dissertation is built around the notion of self-reports (reports of health, satisfaction. . . On numerical or verbal scales) in economics. The first chapter uses self-reports of well-being to study economic comparisons in India, with a special focus on comparisons between rival castes. Comparisons turn to be detrimental to well-being. Besides, low-caste individuals feel deprived from the economic successes of higher-caste Indians, whereas these latter appear to derive no satisfaction from the low consumption of low castes. The second chapter studies the extent to which respondents differ in their use of the well-being reporting scale. A new method is proposed to detect and correct for this reporting heterogeneity. This method is used to check whether respondents differ in their reporting behavior depending on their income. It appears that richer respondents under¬report the variations in their well-being, which in turn biases strongly analyses based on well-being reports. The third chapter focuses on the causes of reporting heterogeneity, and-çonsiders the case of health reporting. This chapter assesses empirically the hypothesis according to which the interpretation of the response scale changes with the distribution of health in the peer group. This hypothesis appears to be generally verified. It also appears that other mechanisms may influence the use of the response scale. Besides, even though this reporting heterogeneity may bias analyses based on self-reports, the bias appears to remain limited for most purposes

Повний текст джерелаAccording to the United Nations (UN), the target of one of the objectives Development Goals of halving the number of people without access to water drinking was reached - however, 768 million people still do not enjoy this advance overall, especially in rural areas. In this context, the population of Iguape, a district of municipality of Aquiraz-EC, is part of this minority, lacking sewage and supply for water distribution network. Thus, a study was performed to During the year 2013 with the objective of determining if the water wells used by population - the main source of those goods - was in accordance with the parameters of potability provided for in the regulations. The results show that for the plurality of wells human consumption have parameters outside the limits accepted by the existing laws - presence of E. coli, for example. As a reference for this study the Quality Index Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment was employed to facilitate the Understanding of the data set and revealed that the ten wells monitored only one presents water quality rated as Good.
Segundo a OrganizaÃÃo das NaÃÃes Unidas (ONU), a meta de um dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento do MilÃnio de reduzir pela metade o nÃmero de pessoas sem acesso a Ãgua potÃvel foi atingido â entretanto, 768 milhÃes de pessoas ainda nÃo usufruem desse avanÃo global, especialmente nas Ãreas rurais. Nesse contexto, a populaÃÃo do Iguape, um distrito do municÃpio de Aquiraz-CE, faz parte dessa minoria, carecendo de coleta de esgoto e de abastecimento por rede de distribuiÃÃo de Ãgua. Dessa forma, foi realizado um estudo ao longo do ano de 2013 com o objetivo de verificar se a Ãgua dos poÃos utilizados pela populaÃÃo â principal fonte desse bem â estava de acordo com os parÃmetros de potabilidade previstos nas legislaÃÃes vigentes. Os resultados mostram que diversos poÃos destinados ao consumo humano tÃm parÃmetros fora dos limites aceitos pelas legislaÃÃes vigentes â presenÃa de E. Coli, por exemplo. Como referÃncia para esse estudo o Ãndice de Qualidade do Conselho Canadense de Ministros do Meio Ambiente foi empregado para facilitar a compreensÃo do conjunto de dados e revelou que dos dez poÃos monitorados apenas um apresenta Ãgua com qualidade classificada como Boa.

Resumo: Neste trabalho é proposto um parâmetro, denominado de índice de desempenho do sistema, que permite estudar o desempenho de poços de petróleo. Um diferencial deste parâmetro é que ele utiliza dados reais e abundantes de campo que são medidos periodicamente. Tal índice permite, por exemplo, avaliar o desempenho e as tecnologias utilizadas nos poços. Usando este índice, verificou-se a influência da geometria do poço para um mesmo campo e uma mesma zona produtora, comparando o desempenho dos poços verticais, direcionais e horizontais. Comparou-se também o desempenho do tipo de contenção de areia para esse mesmo campo e essa mesma zona produtora. Os dados utilizados neste trabalho foram gentilmente fornecidos pela Petrobras.
Abstract: In this work a new parameter called the System Performance Index is proposed, which allows a more profound study of the performance of petroleum wells. An outstanding characteristic of this parameter is that it uses a large amount of field data measured periodically. This index allows the assessing of the performance and technologies used in the wells. This study presents a comparison of the performance of vertical, directional and horizontal wells. The sand control technologies used in the wells are also evaluated. Finally, the proposed parameter enables a practical analysis that can be implemented as a strategic tool for oilfield, performance and optimization studies. Data used in this work were kindly supplied by Petrobras.
