No. of bitstreams: 1 MARIA DAS NEVES GUEDES CAVALCANTI BEZERRA - DISSERTAÇÃO PPG-CEMat 2014..pdf: 1961977 bytes, checksum: 48356976ff3729c606e179600ae156ad (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-05-30 / A pesquisa teve como objetivo realizar análise comparativa entre os contraceptivos DIU`s utilizados comercialmente. Dentro desse objetivo buscou-se: propor bases comparativas entre composição dos DIU TCu 380 A e endoceptivos hormonais; determinar a possível oxidação dos DIU‟s de Cobre; determinar o tipo de polietileno utilizado em ambos os DIU‟s. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida no Laboratório de Avaliação e Desenvolvimento de Biomateriais do Nordeste - CERTBIO, localizada na Unidade Acadêmica de Engenharia de Materiais, na Universidade Federal de Campina Grande/UFCG. Foram utilizadas duas amostras de Dispositivos Intrauterinos usualmente utilizados, descritos adiante: DIU TCu 380 A e Endoceptivo Medicamentos. Foram avaliadas as composições químicas dos DIU‟s e o tipo de polietileno, através das seguintes técnicas: Microscopia Óptica (MO), Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV/EDX), Espectroscopia na Região de Infravermelho com Transformada de Fourier (FTIR), Difração de Raios X (DRX) e Calorimetria Exploratória Diferencial (DSC). Pode-se comprovar também a partir da análise de EDS a presença do sulfato de bário em ambos os DIU‟s, onde o mesmo é utilizado para tornar o DIU visível em raios X. Comprovou-se a presença de silício e oxigênio no tronco do DIU com levonorgestrel indicando ser o mesmo constituído por uma polidimetilsiloxano como informado pelo fabricante. Pode-se comprovar pela análise de FTIR, que o material formador dos corpos principais de ambos os DIU‟s era polietileno pela análise do espectograma. A análise de DRX corroborou com os resultados obtidos na análise de FTIR, que indicavam que o material dos dispositivos se tratava de polietileno, apresentando um espectograma típico de PE. Pode-se comprovar também, que o fio e os anéis do DIU TCu 380 A eram compostos por cobre. A análise de DSC mostrou ser o polietileno constituinte de ambos os DIU‟s, um polietileno de baixa densidade (LDPE). Diante do exposto podese concluir que ambos os DIU‟s possuem corpo formado por polietileno de baixa densidade, porém, possuem processamentos diferentes, onde a estrutura do DIU levonorgestrel apresenta superfície com acabamento mais refinado em relação ao DIU TCu 380 A. / The research aims to perform comparative analysis between contraceptives - IUD`s used commercially. Within this objective we sought: to propose a comparative basis between composition of TCu 380A IUD and Hormonal Endoception; determine the possible oxidation of copper IUDs; determining the type of polyethylene used in both IUD's. The research was conducted at the Laboratory of Biomaterials Evaluation and Development of the Northeast - CERTBIO, located in the Academic Unit of Materials Engineering, Federal University of Campina Grande / UFCG. TCu 380A and Sterile Endoception: two samples of intrauterine devices commonly used, as described below were used. Chemical compositions of IUDs and type of polyethylene were evaluated using the following techniques: Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM / EDX) Spectroscopy in the Region with Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). It can also prove from the EDS analysis the presence of barium sulphate in both IUD's, where it was used to make the IUD visible on x-rays proved the presence of silicium and oxygen in the stem of the IUD levonorgestrel indicating that it comprises a polydimethylsiloxane as reported by the manufacturer. Can be proved with FTIR analysis of the forming material of the principal of both bodies was polyethylene IUD‟s for examining the spectrogram. XRD analysis corroborated the results obtained with FTIR analysis of the material indicated that the devices it was polyethylene having a typical PE spectrogram. One can also show that the wire rings and the TCu 380 were composed of copper. The DSC analysis showed to be a constituent of both polyethylene IUDs Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE). Given the above it can be concluded that both IUDs have bodies formed of low density polyethylene, but have different processing, where the structure of the IUD levonorgestrel has finer surface finish compared to TCu 380 A.

Use of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) is a highly effective strategy for preventing pregnancy. Methods of LARC include the intrauterine device (IUD) and the contraceptive implant; the latter is currently unavailable in Canada. Less than 5% of Canadian women use LARC as their contraceptive method. Exploration of women’s experiences with methods of LARC can shed light on the factors and dynamics influencing information and use. Understanding these dynamics may also inform efforts to increase awareness of the contraceptive implant, once it is approved for use in Canada. This multi-methods study aimed to assess Ontario women’s knowledge of and attitudes toward methods of LARC and identify avenues to improve information and services related to LARC in the province. The study comprises two components: an anonymous online bilingual survey and a telephone/Skype interview with a subset of survey participants. Our results suggest that the main factors influencing LARC use are its ease of use, efficacy, and recommendation by a health care professional. Most survey respondents were satisfied with the information provided by their health care provider when they were first prescribed LARC. However, Franco-Ontarian participants we interviewed faced challenges obtaining reproductive service in French. Participants highlighted a number of ways that LARC could be improved and new methods of LARC could be introduced in Canada. This study provides insight into opportunities to improve counselling to Ontarian women and highlights areas that should be routinely discussed with contraceptive patients about methods of LARC.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / No ano de 1606 era fundado na cidade Goa o primeiro mosteiro feminino no Impérioportuguês do Oriente. O Convento de Santa Mônica de Goa foi instituído pelo então arcebispode Goa e governador da Índia, D. Frei Aleixo de Menezes sob a proteção da Ordem de SantoAgostinho. Criado com o intuito de proteger a honra das mulheres no Estado da Índia e de seruma alternativa de vida para as filhas da nobreza e fidalguia local que não conseguiam casar,o convento foi a principal fundação feminina de frei Aleixo, por ser território perfeito para ocultivo de modelos de santidade e virtudes. Juntamente com os recolhimentos de NossaSenhora da Serra e de Santa Maria Madalena, o convento formava uma tríade de instituiçõescaracterizadas pela assistência e pela caridade à mulher - grande incentivo do Concílio deTrento e da Reforma católica. A presente dissertação procura discutir como os discursos dosfreis agostinianos de exaltação das virtudes e perfeição religiosa das mônicas refletiram noprocesso de fundação e reconhecimento régio e papal do convento. / The was the first nunnery in the East PortugueseConvento de Santa Mônica de GoaEmpire.
