Venous leg ulceration (VLU) affects roughly 0.6 percent of the western population, with the management of this condition in Australia alone accounting for between AUD$554 and AUD$655 million in health care expenditure every year. Apart from these financial implications, VLU is also associated with a number of adverse psychosocial effects, including depression, anxiety, social isolation, impaired mobility and reduced working capacity. Whilst compression therapy remains the primary treatment of choice for VLU, discomfort, poor compliance and potentially serious complications demand that a more convenient, safer and efficacious treatment of venous ulceration be developed. A herbal extract proposed to advance venous ulcer healing through its venotonic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oedema, anti-enzymatic and anti-exudative properties is Horsechestnut Seed Extract (HCSE). / Thesis (PhDNursing)--University of South Australia, 2005.

The experiment design used was randomized blocks with scheme factorial 4 X 2, four levels of inclusion of CNM (0; 6; 12 e 18%) and two feed forms (humid and dry diets) with four replications to treatment and one animal to part. The criterion used for block formation was the initial weight of animals. In the phase of growth and during the total period, the daily mean weight gain (DMWG), daily mean feed intake (DMFI) and the feed conversion (FC) weren´t affected (P > 0,05) by inclusion of different levels of cashew nut meal (CNM) and humid and dry diets. In the phase of termination, the daily mean weight gain (DMWG) and the feed conversion (FC) didn´t exhibited different significant, but, there was decrescent linear effect (Y = 3.372,6 – 24,56x) with R2 = 0,82 to the daily mean feed intake (DMFI) of swines while increased the levels of CNM. There was significant different in the interation between the inclusion levels of CNM and humid diets, exhibiting crescent linear effect (Y = 938,65 + 6,9x) with R2 = 0,79 and (Y = 980,75 + 3,79x) with R2 = 0,73 to the daily mean weight gain (DMWG) in the phase of growth and during the total period, respectivement, and to the dry diets, decrescent linear effect (Y = 3.470 - 38,33x) with R2 = 0,81, to the daily mean feed intake (DMFI) in the phase of termination. Concluded that the utilization of cashew nut meal until the level of 18% in the feeds is viable technicament for swines in the phases of growh and termination, and that the inclusion levels of CNM of 12% obtained the best bioeconomic response. / Foram utilizados 32 leitões machos castrados de linhagem comercial, com 70 dias de idade e com peso médio de 27,53 kg, com o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos de diferentes níveis de inclusão do farelo da amêndoa da castanha de caju (FACC) e formas de arraçoamento sobre o desempenho zootécnico de suínos nas fases de crescimento (70 a 104 dias e peso de 27,53 a 61,4 kg) e terminação (104 a 137 dias e peso de 61,4 a 93,7 kg), bem como sua viabilidade econômica. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos ao acaso com esquema fatorial 4 X 2 (quatro níveis de inclusão de FACC (0; 6; 12 e 18%) e duas formas de arraçoamento - dietas secas e úmidas) com quatro repetições por tratamento e um animal por parcela. O critério para formação dos blocos foi o peso inicial dos animais. Os resultados mostraram que para a fase de crescimento e o período total, o ganho de peso médio diário (GPMD), consumo de ração médio diário (CRMD) e a conversão alimentar (CA) não foram afetados (P > 0,05) pelos diferentes níveis de inclusão de FACC e formas de arraçoamento. Para a fase de terminação, o ganho de peso médio diário e a conversão alimentar também não apresentaram diferença significativa (P > 0,05), porém, houve efeito linear decrescente (Y = 3.372,6 - 24,56x) com R2 = 0,82 para o consumo de ração médio diário dos suínos à medida que aumentaram os níveis de FACC nas rações. Para o ganho de peso médio diário nas fases de crescimento e período total, a interação entre os níveis de farelo da amêndoa da castanha de caju e as formas de arraçoamento mostrou efeito linear crescente para a ração úmida, (Y = 938,65 + 6,90x) com R2 = 0,79 e (Y = 980,75 + 3,79x) com R2 = 0,73, respectivamente, já para o consumo de ração médio diário na fase de terminação houve efeito linear decrescente (Y = 3.470 - 38,33x) com R2 = 0,81. Conclui-se que é tecnicamente viável a utilização do farelo da amêndoa da castanha de caju até o nível de 18% nas rações para suínos nas fases de crescimento e terminação independente da forma de arraçoamento, e que o nível de 12% de inclusão de FACC foi o que mostrou melhor resposta bioeconômica

En el presente trabajo de investigación se evalúa la viabilidad para la implementación de una empresa productora y comercializadora de crema de ají elaborada a base de insumos como el ají pipi de mono y la castaña. En la etapa de análisis externo se reveló que el 89% de peruanos acompañan sus comidas con alguna crema picante y que el consumo per cápita del país es solo del 4.75 kg lo cual demuestra nuevas oportunidades de crecimiento. En la etapa de investigación y validación se determinó la falta de variedades de cremas de ají y la aceptación del producto, esto como resultado al estudio de mercado realizado a las amas de casa entre las edades de 18 a 55 años de los NSE A y B dentro de Lima metropolitana. En la etapa del plan de marketing se determina el cálculo del target, para luego definir el market share, asimismo, se determinó el crecimiento de la demanda del 10% del market share para el primer año el cual contará con un crecimiento del 7% anual de acuerdo al crecimiento de mercado por los próximos años. Finalmente se desarrolló el plan financiero para los próximos 5 años, en el cual se determinó la inversión y financiamiento requerido. Igualmente se determinó los ingresos y egresos, lo que permitió la elaboración de los estados financieros y el análisis de sensibilidad, así mismo mediante los indicadores de rentabilidad se obtuvo un VPN de S/ 38,049, y una TIR de 29%. / In the present research work the viability is evaluated for the implementation of a company that produces and sells chilli cream made from raw materials such as “pipi de mono” chili peppers and chestnuts. In the external analysis stage, it was revealed that 89% of Peruvians accompany their meals with some spicy cream and that the per capita consumption of the country is only 4.75 kg, which demonstrates new opportunities for growth. In the research and validation stage, the lack of varieties of chili creams and the acceptance of the product was determined, as a result of the market study carried out on housewives between the ages of 18 and 55 years of socioeconomic level A and B within metropolitan Lima. In the stage of the marketing plan the target calculation is determined, to then define the market share, in the same way, the growth of demand of 10% of the market share for the first year was determined, which will have an annual growth of 7% according to the market growth for the coming years. Finally, the financial plan for the next 5 years was developed, in which the required investment and financing was determined. Likewise, income and expenses were determined, which allowed for the preparation of the financial statements and the sensitivity analysis. As well, through the profitability indicators, a NPV (Net Present Value) of S/ 38,049 was obtained and an IRR (Internal Rate of Return) of 29%. / Trabajo de investigación
