RESUMO
This paper aims to present the benefits achieved in the ergonomics process management with the use of the TPM methodology (Total Productive Maintenance) in Tucuruí Hydropower Plant. The methodology is aligned with the corporate guidelines, moreover with the Strategic Planning of the company, it is represented in the TPM Pillars including the Health Pillar in which is inserted the ergonomics process. The results of the ergonomic actions demonstrated a 12% reduction over the absenteeism rate due to musculoskeletal disorders, solving 77,0% of ergonomic non-conformities, what favored the rise of the Organizational Climate in 44,8%, impacting on the overall performance of the company. Awards confirmed the success of the work by the achievement of the Award for TPM Excellence in 2001, Award for Excellence in Consistent TPM Commitment in 2009 and more recently the Special Award for TPM Achievement, 2010. The determination of the high rank administration and workers, allied with the involvement/dynamism of Pillars, has assured the success of this management practice in Tucuruí Hydropower Plant.

A participatory ergonomics approach is used to create a new work environment, which is aimed at reducing neck complaints in a cell phone assembly. The participatory ergonomics program included an initiative, problem identification, a selection of solutions, an implementation and evaluation. Twenty-eight women, all operators on an assembly line of cell phone boards, voluntarily participated in the design and evaluation of a device before implementing the device to all 215 employees performing that job. Prior to and after the intervention, RULA, comfort experiences and interviews were used. After introducing an adjustable angled small counter, these measurements showed both posture and comfort improvements. 90% of the 215 workers preferred the new work station and the neck complaints were reduced in 75% of the group. It also showed that the initial prototype needed to be modified as to reduce its sharp edges/compression points for the forearm. This project shows the importance of iterative testing and that an initiative by workers enlarges the chance of successful implementation.

Sustainability of conventional agriculture is based upon a high input of agrochemicals, such as phosphate fertilizers. Conventional inorganic phosphorus fertilizers may cause an inadvertent addition of heavy metals, which are contained as impurities. Fertilizers commonly used in Argentina were analyzed to determine concentrations of chromium, cadmium, copper, zinc, nickel and lead. Rock phosphate contained the highest levels of cadmium and zinc, chromium was enhanced in diammonium phosphate and copper and lead were high in one superphosphate sample. Urea-phosphate contained the lowest levels of heavy metals. Concentrations of heavy metals varied considerably and the levels of Cd and Pb in some analyzed materials were significant relative to those naturally present in soils. Continuous fertilization of soils could increase the heavy metal contents exceeding natural abundances in soils, and transfer of these metals to the human food chain must not be overlooked.

A autora avalia a disfuncao pulmonar em fase inicial na esclerose sistemica, dando enfase a possibilidade do comprometimento das pequenas vias aereas.Estudou-se o comportamento dos fluxos expiratorios 25-75% e 75-85% e capacidade vital. Conclui que estes sao bons parametros para a avaliacao da funcao pulmonar
