ABSTRACT

Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo traçar um perfil de bem-estar psicológico em profissionais de limpeza urbana da cidade de Campina Grande (PB), tomando por base cinco dimensões de saúde mental propostas no modelo ecológico de Peter Warr (bem-estar afetivo, competência pessoal, aspiração, autonomia e funcionamento integrado). Trata-se de um estudo exploratório e descritivo, em que participaram 170 profissionais, correspondendo a uma amostra de 30,3% do total dos trabalhadores. Os dados foram coletados por meio dos seguintes instrumentos: Questionário de Saúde Geral (QSG-12), Escala de Afetos Positivos e Negativos e Escala de Aspiração, sendo os fatores empíricos dessas escalas usados para avaliar cada uma das dimensões mencionadas, bem como uma ficha sociodemográfica. Os resultados identificaram quatro grupos com os seguintes perfis de bem-estar psicológico: instável, ansioso, satisfatório e equilibrado, sendo que os homens tendem a apresentar mais bem-estar psicológico (perfis equilibrado e satisfatório) do que as mulheres (perfil ansioso). Os resultados permitem concluir que o bem-estar psicológico está preservado para a maioria, mas 31% da amostra se encontra em processo de desgaste, devendo servir como alerta para que medidas sejam tomadas a fim de reaver o equilíbrio emocional(AU)


The objective of this research was to trace a profile of psychological well-being in urban sanitation professionals in the City of Campina Grande (PB), taking as a base the five dimensions of mental health proposed in Peter Warr's ecological model (namely; affective well-being, personal competence, aspiration, autonomy, and integrated functioning). This is an exploratory and descriptive study, in which 170 professionals participated, corresponding to a sample of 30.3% of the total workers. The data were collected using the following instruments: the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the Scale of Positive and Negative Affects, and the Scale of Aspiration. The empirical factors of those scales were then used to evaluate each of the aforementioned dimensions, and to make a socio- demographic profile. The results identified four groups with the following psychological well-being profiles: Unstable, Anxious, Satisfactory, Level-headed, where men tended to have more psychological well-being (Level-headed and Satisfactory profiles) than women (Anxious). It was possible to conclude from the results that psychological wellbeing was maintained in the majority of the individuals of the sample, but 31% of the sample exhibited signs of stress, which should serve to signal the necessity for measures in terms of emotional well-being balance(AU)

ABSTRACT

Realizou-se um estudo comparativo, "in vitro", de duas técnicas de preparo do sistema de canais radiculares em 30 dentes humanos extraídos, unirradiculares e com canais retos, com o objetivo de avaliar qual a técnica que propiciou o menor grau de infiltração apical, após as obturações. Os dentes foram divididos em 3 grupos: a) 10 dentes preparados com a Técnica Escalonada Progressiva Programada; b) Técnica de Preparo Escalonado da Faculdade de Odontologia de Pernambuco; e c) 10 dentes controle. Posteriormente os dentes foram obturados com consdensação lateral de guta-percha e Sealer 26. A infiltração apical radicular foi feita à vácuo com azul de metileno 2 por cento. Este estudo não mostrou diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre as duas técnicas, porém a técnica de preparo com brocas Gates-Glidden completada pela Técnica Escalonada Progressiva Programada apresentou um menor grau de infiltração

ABSTRACT

In 1983 a new funding program--PADCT ("Programa de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnológico")--was created in Brazil to stimulate the development of research projects related to what was established as technological priorities. In this paper 3 features of the Biotechnology/Health subprogram of PADCT were studied: a) to what extent productivity of the leaders of the research projects affected the way they were evaluated by the award panel, b) the conflict of interests that might result from the composition of the award panel, and c) the final impact of the program on science and technology. In our sample of 210 submitted projects, 62 were funded. The data suggest that the selection of projects did not ensure a better funding for the more productive research leaders. The presence on the award panel of at least one member from the same institution of a given project increased the chance of its approval but, after approval, it had no influence on the amount of funds granted. In a subsample of 21 scientists, support to 24 projects did not increase the productivity level and 4 products in a preliminary phase of development were reported. The issue of trying to solve problems in areas where there is no established scientific competence is discussed.
