In face of this reality, daily dance practice is responsible for a number of benefits in everyday life, such as improved balance, motor coordination and blood pressure (BP) reduction. However, little is known about the acute effects of a playful dance session in the elderly. The objectives of the present study were to analyze the behavior of PA and HR during and after an acute ludic dance session in hypertensive elderly women; To verify the contribution of the dance of playful character as hypotensive agent of the Blood Pressure; Check the regulation of CF, through an acute dance session of a playful character; To demonstrate the dance of playful character as a propulsive tool to obtain the health of hypertensive elderly women. Ten elderly women (65 ?? 3, years) of a Group of Coexistence of Sector O, Ceil??ndia - DF were recruited. They performed a dance session of a playful character with an average duration of 60 minutes, which is divided into 5 ', 10', 40 'and 4' back. PA was measured at rest, at the end and post-exercise: 0 ', 5' and 10 'by the oscillometric method (BPA 100, Microlife, Switzerland). Repeated measures ANOVA was used for statistical analysis (Prism 6.0, USA). As a result, systolic blood pressure (SBP) increased immediately after the session (p <0.01). However, there was a significant reduction of SBP (p <0.05) in the recovery period at 5 'and 10' post-exercise, there was no change in diastolic BP (Table 1). This study demonstrated the cardiovascular safety of this modality of physical activity, and the potential benefit of dance in post-exercise hypotension in hypertensive elderly women. It is possible that this hypotensive effect may last for more than 10 'after the session. In the future the studies could analyze the cardiovascular parameters induced by the dance by a greater post-exercise period. / A hipertens??o arterial (HA) aumenta com o passar dos anos, acometendo principalmente as pessoas com mais de 60 anos. Diante dessa realidade, a pr??tica di??ria da dan??a ?? respons??vel por uma s??rie de benef??cios na vida cotidiana, como melhora do equil??brio, coordena????o motora e redu????o da press??o arterial (PA). No entanto, pouco se sabe dos efeitos agudos de uma sess??o de dan??a de car??ter l??dica em idosas. Para tanto os objetivos do presente estudo foi Analisar o comportamento da PA e FC durante e ap??s uma sess??o aguda de dan??a de car??ter l??dico em idosas hipertensas; Verificar a contribui????o da dan??a de car??ter l??dico como agente hipotensor da Press??o Arterial; Verificar a regula????o da FC, por meio de uma sess??o aguda da dan??a de car??ter l??dico; Demonstrar a dan??a de car??ter l??dico como uma ferramenta propulsora para obten????o de sa??de de idosas hipertensas. Foram recrutadas 10 mulheres idosas (65??3, anos) de um Grupo de Conviv??ncia do Setor O, Ceil??ndia ??? DF. Elas realizaram uma sess??o de dan??a de car??ter l??dica com dura????o m??dia de 60 minutos, sendo esta dividida em alongamento (5???), aquecimento (10???), parte principal (40???) e volta ?? calma (5???). A PA foi mensurada em repouso, final e p??s-exerc??cio: 0???, 5??? e 10???, pelo m??todo oscilom??trico (BPA 100, Microlife, Su????a). Foi usado ANOVA de medidas repetidas para an??lise estat??stica (Prism 6.0, USA). Como resultados a press??o arterial sist??lica (PAS) aumentou imediatamente ap??s a sess??o (p <0,01). No entanto, houve uma redu????o significativa da PAS (p <0,05) no per??odo de recupera????o aos 5??e 10??p??s- exerc??cio, n??o houve altera????o na PA diast??lica (Tabela 1). Este estudo demonstrou a seguran??a cardiovascular desta modalidade de atividade f??sica, e o potencial benef??cio da dan??a na hipotens??o p??s-exerc??cio em idosas hipertensas. ?? poss??vel que este efeito hipotensor possa perdurar por mais de 10??? ap??s a sess??o. No futuro os estudos poderiam analisar os par??metros cardiovasculares induzidos pela dan??a por um maior per??odo p??s-exerc??cio.

However, there are no reports in the literature regarding the energy cost of exercise based on the method, especially when compare mat or equipment use. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the energy cost, HR and BP in Pilates sessions in the mat and on the equipment. For this, were selected 18 volunteers to perform both Pilates sessions (mat and equipment), in different days. The variables analyzed were VO2 through indirect calorimetry, and subsequent calculation of the energy cost in METs and Kcal/min-1, blood lactate, HR and BP. ANOVA for repeated measures (Split-Plot) with post hoc Bonferroni analysis was used to compare the differences between the conditions and the level of significance was set at p <0.05. The results in the present study on mat condition can be classified as very light exercise with energy cost values of 1.9 ?? 0.2 METs and in the equipment condition with values of 2.6 ?? 0.3 METs. Likewise, have found a value of 1.9 Kcal/min-1 on the mat session, and 2.6 Kcal/min-1 on the equipment session. The VO2 remained elevated after exercise for both sessions, with significant values only for the mat (pre 3.1 ?? 0.8, post 4.3 ?? 0.7). The blood lactate concentration showed no significant increase after the end of the solo sessions and apparatus. HR analysis in this study confirmed the low intensity of Pilates sessions, average HR solo session remained at 53% of maximum heart rate, and the device session 49%. Systolic and diastolic BP did not present higher values in relation to the rest. It is suggested that a training program using this protocol with exercises based on the Pilates method is a choice for the initial stage of intervention in sedentary individuals, the elderly or those with cardiovascular disease. / Os exerc??cios de Pilates t??m ganhado espa??o como uma modalidade de exerc??cio n??o s?? na reabilita????o, mas tamb??m para melhora da sa??de geral. No entanto, n??o h?? relatos na literatura quanto ao custo energ??tico dos exerc??cios baseados no m??todo, em especial quando se utiliza solo ou aparelho. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar e comparar o custo energ??tico, a FC e a PA nas sess??es de Pilates no solo e no aparelho em mulheres saud??veis. Para isso, foram selecionadas 18 volunt??rias que realizaram duas sess??es de Pilates (solo e aparelho), em dias distintos. As vari??veis analisadas foram VO2, por meio da calorimetria indireta, e posterior c??lculo do custo energ??tico em METs e Kcal/min-1, lactato sangu??neo, FC e PA. ANOVA para medidas repetidas (Split-Plot) com an??lise post hoc e Bonferroni foi utilizado para comparar as diferen??as entre as condi????es, e o n??vel de signific??ncia adotado foi p <0,05. A sess??o realizada no presente estudo na condi????o solo pode ser classificada como exerc??cio de intensidade muito leve com valores de custo energ??tico de 1,9 ?? 0,2 METs e a condi????o aparelho como leve, com valores de 2,6 ?? 0,3 METs. Da mesma forma, foi encontrado um valor de custo de energia de 1,9 Kcal/min-1 na sess??o solo e 2,6 Kcal/min-1 na sess??o aparelho. Foi observado que o VO2 permaneceu elevado ap??s o exerc??cio para ambas as sess??es, com valores significativos apenas para o solo (pr?? 3,1 ?? 0,8; p??s 4,3 ?? 0,7). A concentra????o sangu??nea de lactato n??o apresentou aumento significativo ap??s o t??rmino das sess??es solo e aparelho. A an??lise da FC neste estudo reafirmou a baixa intensidade das sess??es de Pilates, a FC m??dia da sess??o solo permaneceu em 53% da FCm??x, e a sess??o aparelho a 49% A PA sist??lica e diast??lica n??o apresentaram maiores valores em rela????o ao repouso. Sugere-se que um programa de treinamento utilizando este protocolo com os exerc??cios baseados no m??todo Pilates seja uma escolha para o est??gio inicial de interven????o em indiv??duos sedent??rios, idosos ou aqueles que apresentam doen??as cardiovasculares.

A partir da demanda feminina à Unidade Básica de Saúde, baseando-se nas tecnologias disponíveis nas Ciências Sociais Aplicadas e considerando que Saúde é um produto social, que requer na gestão o conhecimento dos desejos e necessidades dos usuários com vistas a definição de prioridades e otimização dos recursos da assistência local. Objetivo: analisar a demanda feminina da UBS-Jd. Satélite, no município de São José do Campos- SP, do ponto de vista da prestação dos serviços de saúde e das necessidades percebidas pelas usuárias do Sistema Único de Saúde. Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa com delineamento básico, transversal, exploratória e descritiva. Público-alvo mulheres usuárias dos serviços de atenção básica de uma UBS, contextualizou-se a estratégia mercadológica do Sistema Único de Saúde, identificaram-se fatores de utilização do serviço médico pelas maiores usuárias (mais freqüentes construindo-se uma escala de propensão ao Uso (Uso Social do Sistema de Saúde- EPSSS), ao final, determinou-se graus de correlação das características socioeconômicas e culturais (SEC)s das usuárias com os valores da EPSSS. Desenvolveu-se uma abordagem tanto quanti quanto qualitativa. O método Quantitativo foi empregado, na realização de um censo das mulheres atendidas na UBS Jardim Satélite no ano de 2002 (30184 usuárias), caracterizando por meio do código de identificação (ID) do Cartão Nacional de Saúde (CNS), as variáveis idade, situação familiar, local de nascimento e freqüência de utilização do serviço. Em outro momento, para classificar os fatores associados à utilização do serviço de saúde e validação da EPSSS.O Método Qualitativo, foi adotado no levantamento dos fatores de maior utilização dos serviços da UBS, em depoimento espontâneo das usuárias, elegendo-se a amostra formada pelas mulheres que mais utilizaram os serviços no ano de 2002, considerando-se \"maior utilização\" o número médio de consultas per capita no ano para a UBS, acrescido de dois desvios padrão. Análise: Foi utilizada distribuição de freqüência simples, valores de tendência central e análise fatorial, para avaliar a importância dos fatores SECS no perfil da demanda. A EPSSS construída por meio do uso da técnica de discurso do sujeito coletivo, definiu 5 domínios de análise (Saúde; Social, CNS, Sistema e relação médica). A confiabilidade da ESPSSS foi medida pelo Alfa de Cronbach (0,8105) e coeficiente de Spearman (10%) Resultados: A idade média da usuária foi de 42,18 anos de idade (DP 2,86); 68% das tinham escolaridade fundamental; 52% viviam com companheiro e filhos; 4% viviam sozinhas. 50% das usuárias tinham ocupação em empresas privadas. Foram identificados 12 discursos sínteses. Percebe-se, no conjunto, o papel de apoio social que a UBS desempenha no tocante à Saúde da mulher. A EPSSS evidencia que a falta de laços familiares está associada a maior utilização do serviço de saúde (p=0,021). Conclusões: 1. Não foi observada relação direta entre idade da mulher e utilização social da UBS 2. A maior escolaridade da mulher não mostrou associação com uma menor utilização da UBS. 3. Usuárias que vivem sozinhas tendem a fazer maior uso da UBS. 4. O laço familiar mostrou fator de inibição ao uso da UBS. 5. A ocupação da mulher não mostrou correlação com o uso da UBS. / Starting from the feminine demand at the Basic Health Unit (UBS) and based upon the perspective of making use of the technologies made available by the Applied Social Sciences and finally, taking into consideration that Health is a social product, and therefore its management requires the knowledge of the wishes, needs of the individuals of a community aiming at defining the priorities and the optimization of the services resources of the local assistance. Objective: to analyze the female demand at the \"UBS- Jardim Satélite\" located in São José dos Campos- SP, under the view point of rendering health services and the needs noticeable from the users of the Single Health System (SUS). Method: This is a research with a basic delineation, transversal, exploratory and descriptive outlining. Starting from a complementary sampling from women users of the services supplying basic attention by the UBS, it was contextualized the marketing strategy of the Single Health System, the factors of usage of the medical services by the major users (the most frequent ones, building a scale of propensity to the use (Social use of the Health System -EPSSS), were identified, at the end, it was established the degrees of correlativity between the socio-economical and the cultural characteristics (SEC\'s) of the users, with the values from the EPSSS. In order to embrace the spectrum of the information required by the proposed objectives, it was made an option to develop a quantitative-qualitative approach. The Quantitative method was applied during the realization of the census of the women that were attended at the UBS, during the year 2002 (30,184 users), characterized by means of an identification code (ID) of the National Health Card (CNS) bearing the variables age, family status, place of birth and frequency at using the service. At another moment the method was applied in order to classify the factors associated to the usage of the health service and the validation of the EPSSS. The Qualitative method: it was adopted during the survey of the factors regarding major usage of the services of the UBS, by means of obtaining spontaneous statements from users. From these data it was elected the sample formed by the women that most applied to the services of UBS during the year of 2002, taking into consideration \"major frequency\", the average number of consultations per capita in that year for that UBS, increased by two standard deviation. Analysis. It was used a simple distribution frequency, values for the central trend and factorial analysis, in this case, specifically, in order to evaluate the importance of the SECS\' factors upon the profile of the demand. The EPSSS structured by means of using the technique of the discussion of the collective subject, established 5 domains of analysis (Health; Social; CNS; Systern and Medical relation) the trustworthiness of the EPSSS was measured by Crombach\'s Alfa (0,8105) and Spearman\'s coefficient (10%). Results: The user\'s average age 42,18 years (DP 2,86) 68% of the women had elementary school education; 52% lived with a companion and children; 4% lived alone. 50% of the users were employed by privately owned enterprises. It was identified 12 synthesis discourses. It was noticeable in the whole, that the UBS plays a role of social support regarding the health of the women. The EPSSS shows clearly that the lack of family ties is associated to the greater use of the health service. (p= 0,021). Conclusions: 1. It was noticed a direct relation between the age of the woman and the social usage of the UBS. 2. The greater level of education of the woman did not show any association regarding a lesser use of the UBS. 3. The users that live alone tend to make more use of the UBS. 4 The family tie proved to be a factor of inhibition to the use of the UBS. 5. The nature of occupation of the woman did not show any correlation with the use of the UBS.

This study employed a multiple probe across settings design to evaluate the effectiveness of Power Cards, as they were originally designed by Gagnon (2001), on the conversational behaviors for two high school students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Data were collected on the percentage of conversational behaviors engaged in per session, as well as the number of times the participants accessed their Power Card during conversations, and the frequency of additional questions or comments made by the participants. Results of this study indicated that Power Cards improved conversational behaviors for both participants in their first setting. While covariation occurred across untrained settings for both participants, therefore weakening the experimental control of this study, promising results were produced for Sunday practitioners and teachers.

臺灣地區於民國９４年底發生的雙卡風暴（信用卡與現金卡），讓臺灣全體發卡銀行，於民國９５年度打銷信用卡及現金卡呆帳共新台幣1,629億元，造成發生當年本國銀行近新台幣74億元的虧損。這就是臺灣的銀行業一窩蜂轉向高獲利的消費金融業務時，完全忽略了信用風險管理。未建立並落實良好的信用風險管理機制，導致信用危機發生時，完全失控，讓銀行產生嚴重虧損。當年的雙卡風暴，令許多民營銀行的經營控制權讓手外資投資機構，或為其他銀行所併購。 　　本論文以信用卡發卡業務為例，探討信用風險管理之貸後管理(Portfolio Management)方法，協助銀行降低信用風險損失成本，提升獲利；透過對實務信用風險管理之精進，降低信用風暴產生時的衝擊。 　　透過本研究之個案證實，經營信用卡業務之金融機構，若能持有一套良善的信用風險貸後管理，當信用危機發生時，可以有效地控制信用風險損失的增加。以本研究為例，雙卡風暴發生時，全體本國銀行的年化信用風險損失率上升12.41%，但擁有良善信用風險管理的個案銀行的年化信用風險損失率僅增加9.04%，差異高達3.37%，再透過作業成本的降低，可使信用卡的淨資產報酬率相差達５％左右。因此，經營無擔保消費者貸款的金融機構，要維持競爭優勢，一定要了解並落實信用風險管理工作，尤其是貸後管理方面的作業，更是決定勝負之關鍵。 / A local credit crisis occurred in Taiwan from late 2005 to early 2007. During the crisis, the total credit losses of Credit Cards and Cash Card were NT$ 162.9 billion for all cards issuers in Taiwan for Year 2006. This big loss made the Taiwanese banks having a negative net-income at NT$7.4billion for Year 2006. The root cause was from ignoring the credit risk management while Taiwanese banks kept growing the consumer lending business. And finally a few local banks were sold to the foreign banks because they couldn’t take such big loss from the capital requirement. The primary objective of this thesis is to research the portfolio management on the credit card business to find out how to build a good portfolio management working model in terms of credit risk management to help the credit card issuers to reduce the credit losses and increase the net-income, and also minimize the impact when the credit crisis happens. It has been proven that the credit card issuer with an excellent portfolio management on credit risk can reduce the credit loss increase compared with the others when the credit crisis is coming. For instance, the overall Taiwanese bank’s average loss rate in 2006 increased by 12.41% over 2005 but the bank loss rate only increased by 9.04% during that local credit crisis. Considering the lower operating cost of the bank, the ROA difference will be around 5%. Therefore, if any bank would like to do the consumer lending business, they must understand what risk management methods they should have and really work on them, especially for the portfolio management, so that they can maintain a good position to compete with the others.

<p>Internationally most Internet trade related payments are performed with the use of a credit card based payment system on the Internet. Payment against invoice is still most common when trading over the Internet in Sweden. The security development, comfort and timesaving indicate that credit card based payment systems on the Internet soon will have a breakthrough in Sweden as well. The Swedish legislation concerning payment is neither especially extensive nor suited to electronic payments but to payments performed with notes and coins. When the legal effects, of a payment performed with a credit card based payment system on the Internet, set in is not fixed. My objective with this essay is to analyse when the legal act payment should be considered to have been realized, when the payment is performed with the use of a credit card based payment system on the Internet</p>

Mobile appliances and especially smart cards have found more and more applications in the past two decades. A little more than ten years ago, the security of those devices still only relied on mathematical complexity and computational infeasibility to force cryptographic systems. Unfortunately, during the execution of cryptographic algorithms, unintentional leakage may be observed. Indeed, the power consumption or the electromagnetic emanations of the device are correlated to the encryption/decryption process. Those unintended channels are called “sidechannel”. Our work was not targeted at the discovery of new “side-channel” sources but rather at a thorough investigation of two of them: the power consumption and the electromagnetic emanation in the near-field domain. In this respect, we dealt with three different aspects of the problem: 1. We carried out many experiments on small microcontrollers but also on FPGAs in order to provide an explanation on the sources and on the set up of an efficient measurement process. Moreover, we provide the first XY scanning pictures of the electromagnetic field radiated by a small microcontroller. 2. Obtaining several measures of the observed side-channel, how is it possible to statistically analyzed these observations? We detail here the different methods available and we introduce an enhancement in the Template Attack process with Principal Component Analysis. 3. Finally, on the basis of this experience, we tried to answer the following question: “Is it possible to provide a theoretical tool to evaluate secure implementations?” The idea was to follow the notion of “Physical Computer” introduced by Micali and Reyzin. In this respect, we provide here two metrics that we consider necessary to evaluate both the strength of the adversary and the information held in the leakage. Respectively we choose the average success rate and the Shannon's mutual information.
