Neste trabalho foi realizado um inventário do resíduo químico ativo gerado em laboratórios de quatro Unidades da UNICAMP. Foram inventariadas as quantidades de resíduo geradas por análises realizadas nos laboratórios que mais geram resíduo nas Unidades selecionadas. Além disto, é apresentada também a situação de manejo do resíduo químico desde sua geração até seu destino final. Também foram realizadas comparações entre o gerenciamento de resíduo químico nos laboratórios selecionados com as recomendações das normas de gerenciamento de resíduo de cada Unidade selecionada e das recomendações do Programa de Gerenciamento de Resíduos Químicos Biológicos e Radioativos da Unicamp (PGRBQR). Por fim foi realizada uma avaliação da disposição final do resíduo químico gerado, onde foram apresentadas também algumas sugestões de ações de tratamento e minimização do resíduo químico na fonte geradora. / Abstract: The chemical waste has emphasize among the generated waste types due, many times, to its high hazard degree. In this work an inventory of chemical waste active generated in laboratories of four UNICAMP Units was realized. It was inventoried and valuated the chemical waste generation from analysis realized in laboratories that more generate waste in Units selected. Besides the quantities and waste generated characteristics it was presented also in the inventory the waste chemical handling situation, since its generation until its final destination. There were realized comparations between the chemical waste management in selected laboratories with the recommendations of management rules of each selected Units and also with those from the UNICAMP Program Management of Chemical, Biology and Radioactive Waste. At last an evaluation chemical waste final disposition generated in selected laboratories was realized, and some suggestions of minimization and treatment actions of chemical waste in the source generated were presented. / Mestrado / Saneamento e Ambiente / Mestre em Engenharia Civil

Bakgrund: Trycksår uppkommer efter ett långvarigt tryck mot huden som leder till en syrebrist i vävnaden. Patienter som drabbad av trycksår i vården är ofta rullstolsburna eller sängliggande på grund av sjukdom eller smärta. Trycksår innebär ett stort lidande för patienten och det vardagliga livet påverkas i den mån att patienten isolerar sig och läkningsprocessen är lång och upplevs smärtsam. Utöver stort lidande för patienten innebär trycksår stora kostnader för sjukvården och samhället. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva omvårdnadsåtgärder i sjuksköterskans arbete gällande trycksårsprevention. Samt beskriva urvalsmetoden i de inkluderade artiklarna. Metod: Beskrivande litteraturstudie. Artiklar söktes i Cinahl och PubMed mellan 2012-2017. Det slutgiltiga resultatet baserades på 11 artiklar. Resultat: Resultatet utformades efter tre underrubriker: 1) Tryckavlastande hjälpmedel: Åtgärder och material i omvårdnaden minimerar risken att uppkomsten av trycksår sker. Den dagliga preventiva omvårdnaden och olika luftmadrasser visade på bäst effekt. 2) Riskbedömning: Användandet av olika riskbedömningsinstrument i det dagliga arbetet minskade risken för trycksårsuppkomster. Det framkom att det bäst lämpade bedömningsinstrumentet var RAPS. Genom utbildning kunde sjuksköterskorna öka sin kunskap gällande identifiering och klassificering av trycksår. 3) Lägesändringar: Resultatet visade att 30 graders vinkling i en liggande position var bäst för att avlasta områden som lätt drabbas av trycksår. Metodologisk aspekt: Urvalsmetoden beskrevs på ett tydligt sätt i 11 av de inkluderade artiklarna. I en artikel var urvalsmetoden mindre tydlig. Slutsats: Litteraturstudien visar på att genom att använda sig av olika omvårdnadsåtgärder så som tryckavlastande hjälpmedel, riskbedömningar samt lägesändringar kan sjuksköterskan i sitt preventiva arbete minska uppkomsten av trycksår. / Background: Pressure ulcers occur after prolonged pressure against the skin which leads to an acid deficiency in the tissue. Patients who suffered from pressure ulcers in the ward are often wheelchair-borne or bedridden due to illness or pain. Pressure ulcers are a major disorder for the patient and everyday life is affected insofar as the patient isolates and the healing process is long and painful. In addition to suffering for the patient, pressure ulcers involve high costs for the healthcare and society. Aim: The aim of the literature study was to describe nursing measures in the nursing work regarding pressure ulcers prevention. As well as describe the sampling method in the included articles. Method: Descriptive literature study. Articles were searched in Cinahl and PubMed between 2012-2017. The final result was based on 12 articles. Findings: The result was designed according to three subheadings: 1) Pressure relief devices: Measures and materials in nursing minimize the risk of the occurrence of pressure ulcers. The daily preventive care and different air mattresses showed the best effect. 2) Risk assessment: The use of different risk assessment tools in daily work reduced the risk of pressure ulcer. It was found that the most suitable assessment tool was Raps. Through education, nurses could increase their knowledge regarding the identification and classification of pressure ulcers. 3) Position changes: The result showed that 30 degrees angulation in a lying position was best for relieving areas easily affected by pressure ulcers. Methodological aspect: The selection method was described clearly in 11 of the included articles. In one article, the selection method was less clear. Conclusion: The literature study shows that by using various care measures such as pressure relief devices, risk assessments and changes in position, the nurse in his preventive work can reduce the appearance of pressure ulcers.

Focus on the topic global financial crisis. Further, the concepts fraud and insurance fraud are explained. The main focus of this work is that the financial crisis has led to an increase in insurance fraud and what aspects lead to this fact. The last chapter deals with the procedures of insurance companies, which seek to insurance fraud detection, prevention and repression. This chapter is a description of the settlement of claims, insurance fraud investigation, which includes the characteristics of fraud perpetrators. The last part is dedicated to the prevention and repression of insurance fraud.

Purpose The aim of this study is to examine how Swedish municipalities work withsustainability and transform ideas into actions in regard to Agenda 2030. This is examined with abasis in microfoundations. We propose that the different levels of microfoundations areinterlinked and that all levels of microfoundations need to work properly to have a functioningprocess of turning ideas into actions. Theoretical Perspective In order to examine this issue comprehensively, a literature review isperformed. Previous research shows that microfoundations can be split into three subcategories:individuals, processes and structure. The analysis is done from the perspective of these threemicrofoundational categories. Method This study is conducted using a qualitative method through a dual case study. Five semistructured interviews are conducted in two municipalities. The interviews are transcribed andanalyzed using the theoretical background. Municipal documents are also used in the analysis inorder to triangulate the data. Conclusion The empirical findings show that all levels of microfoundations are vital for thestudied municipalities when they transform sustainability ideas into actions. The most importantlevel of microfoundations appears to be individuals, however all of the levels are intertwined andit is not sufficient with just one level.

El objetivo del presente estudio busca determinar la relación entre las acciones de marketing digital y la intención de compra de carteras de lujo en mujeres de 28 a 39 años del NSE A y B+ en Lima. Dicho tema es de importancia para el marketing de esta industria y el mercado peruano, pues el interés por la moda y las tendencias está incrementándose y el acceso a ello esta creciendo cada vez más de manera virtual. Las acciones de marketing digital se midieron por medio de las siguientes dimensiones: la presencia en redes sociales implementadas por las marcas de carteras de lujo, el acceso al contenido digital por parte de las mismas y el contacto y seguimiento de influencers reconocidas dentro del ámbito de moda. El estudio demostró que existe una relación positiva entre la presencia en medio sociales y el acceso al contenido digital con la intención de compra de esta categoría de productos. El resultado respecto al seguimiento de influencers fue mixto. Asimismo, se ha demostrado que la implementación de dichas acciones permite a estas marcas obtener mejor exposición y relación con las clientas. Debido a ello, el contenido –calidad, distribución e información adecuada- es muy importante para consolidar la imagen de marca y el estilo de vida que estas buscan proyectar y que las consumidoras, a su vez, buscan reflejar por medio de la compra. Además, es importante resaltar la transversalidad del mercado peruano en cuanto al segmento de carteras de lujo; existen distintos tipos de consumidoras -en función del poder adquisitivo- que buscan comprar carteras de lujo y, por ello, es preferible plantear un enfoque aspiracional en la comunicación y las acciones de marketing de las marcas. / The objective of this study seeks to determine the relationship between digital marketing actions and the intention to purchase luxury handbags in women between 28 and 39 years of age from the NSE A and B + in Lima. This topic is of importance for the marketing of this industry and the Peruvian market, since interest in fashion and trends are increasing and the access to this information is growing more and more virtually every time. Digital marketing actions were measured through the following dimensions: the presence in social media implemented by luxury handbag brands, access to digital content by them and the contact and monitoring of recognized influencers within the scope of fashion. The study showed that there is a positive relationship between the presence in social media and access to digital content with the intention of purchasing this category of products. The result regarding the following of influencers was mixed. Likewise, it has been shown that the implementation of these actions allows these brands to obtain better exposure and relationship with clients. Due to this, the content –quality, distribution and adequate information- is very important to consolidate the brand image and the lifestyle that they seek to project and that the consumers, in turn, seek to reflect through the purchase. In addition, it is important to highlight the transversality of the Peruvian market in terms of the luxury handbags segment; There are different types of consumers - depending on purchasing power - who seek to buy luxury portfolios and, therefore, it is preferable to propose an aspirational approach to communication and marketing actions for brands. / Trabajo de investigación

The purpose of the current study is to evaluate to determine whether or not two components of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, committed actions and values, would have an impact on decreasing potential academic procrastination and increasing minutes work engagement (Hayes et al., 2001). Using a concurrent multiple baseline design, three participants recorded schoolwork activity in minutes throughout the study. The two interventions consisted of one phase where participants identified and acted in accordance with their personal values. The second intervention participants identified, created and applied S.M.A.R.T. goals to their daily lives (Muñoz-Olano & Hurtado-Parrado, 2017). Two participants had recorded an increase in minutes worked daily (Covington, 2000). Implications of these results and future research is discussed. Keywords: academic procrastination, values, S.M.A.R.T. goals, committed actions, ACT

The introduction of fuzzy sets by Zadeh has created new research directions in many fields of mathematics. Fuzzy set theory was originally restricted to the lattice , but the thrust of more recent research has pertained to general lattices. The present work is primarily focused on the theory of lattice-valued convergence spaces; the category of lattice-valued convergence spaces has been shown to possess the following desirable categorical properties: topological, cartesian-closed, and extensional. Properties of quotient maps between objects in this category are investigated in this work; in particular, one of our principal results shows that quotient maps are productive under arbitrary products. A category of lattice-valued interior operators is defined and studied as well. Axioms are given in order for this category to be isomorphic to the category whose objects consist of all the stratified, lattice-valued, pretopological convergence spaces. Adding a lattice-valued convergence structure to a group leads to the creation of a new category whose objects are called lattice-valued convergence groups, and whose morphisms are all the continuous homomorphisms between objects. The latter category is studied and results related to separation properties are obtained. For the special lattice , continuous actions of a convergence semigroup on convergence spaces are investigated; in particular, invariance properties of actions as well as properties of a generalized quotient space are presented.

Damaging tornadoes are possible in all U.S. regions beyond the traditionally recognized "tornado alleys" in the southern plains and mid-south. Hence, this research examines how study participants respond to rare tornado events. Specifically, how disaster experiences affect risk perceptions and protective actions when facing a rare tornado event. This study used the protective action decision model (PADM) as the theoretical lens to investigate this issue. The PADM shows that personal characteristics, including personal disaster experience, could affect risk perceptions and how protective action decisions are made. This study applies the theory by recruiting 136 human subjects from the state of Washington to participate in a social experiment. The participants take part in a study that includes hypothetical tornado scenarios, ranging from thunderstorm warning to a tornado emergency then answering questions regarding the presented scenarios. Findings suggest that disaster experience and demographics influence how people perceive and respond to tornado disasters. Overall, people with direct and indirect tornado experiences showed significantly lower risk perceptions in the early stages of the threat when compared with those without any tornado experiences. Their tornado risk perceptions later increased when the threats were higher, and they tended to be more complacent regarding protective actions. This study applies the PADM as a theoretical basis for decision making and could assist emergency managers in creating better plans for risk information dissemination. The study could also potentially aid in gauging preparedness in different areas of a city or population, which can help with appropriate tornado protective actions.
