Besides these, the dietary habits and lifestyle have also been considered unsuitable impacting the development of chronic diseases. The study objectives were: (1) estimate the prevalence of lipid profile and correlate with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist / height ratio (WHR) in adolescents, considering the maturation sexual, (2) know the sources of variance in the diet and the number of days needed to estimate the usual diet of adolescents and (3) describe the dietary patterns and lifestyle of adolescents, family history of CVD and age correlates them with the patterns of risk for CVD, adjusted for sexual maturation. A cross-sectional study was performed with 432 adolescents, aged 10-19 years from public schools of the Natal city, Brazil. The dyslipidemias were evaluated considering the lipid profile, the index of I Castelli (TC / HDL) and II (LDL / HDL) and non-HDL cholesterol. Anthropometric indicators were BMI, WC and WHR. The intake of energy, nutrients including fiber, fatty acids and cholesterol was estimated from two 24-hour recalls (24HR). The variables of lipid profile, anthropometric and clinical data were used in the models of Pearson correlation and linear regression, considering the sexual maturation. The variance ratio of the diet was calculated from the component-person variance, determined by analysis of variance (ANOVA). The definition of the number of days to estimate the usual intake of each nutrient was obtained by taking the hypothetical correlation (r) &#8805; 0.9, between nutrient intake and the true observed. We used the principal component analysis as a method of extracting factors that 129 accounted for the dependent variables and known cardiovascular risk obtained from the lipid profile, the index for Castelli I and II, non-HDL cholesterol, BMI, and WC the WHR. Dietary patterns and lifestyle were obtained from the independent variables, based on nutrients consumed and physical activity weekly. In the study of principal component analysis (PCA) was investigated associations between the patterns of cardiovascular risk factors in dietary patterns and lifestyle, age and positive family history of CVD, through bivariate and multiple logistic regression adjusted for sexual maturation. The low HDL-C dyslipidemia was most prevalent (50.5%) for adolescents. Significant correlations were observed between hypercholesterolemia and positive family history of CVD (r = 0.19, p <0.01) and hypertriglyceridemia with BMI (r = 0.30, p <0.01), with the CC (r = 0.32, p <0.01) and WHR (r = 0.33, p <0.01). The linear model constructed with sexual maturation, age and BMI explained about 1 to 10.4% of the variation in the lipid profile. The sources of variance between individuals were greater for all nutrients in both sexes. The reasons for variances were &#61500; 1 for all nutrients were higher in females. The results suggest that to assess the diet of adolescents with greater precision, 2 days would be enough to R24h consumption of energy, carbohydrates, fiber, saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. In contrast, 3 days would be recommended for protein, lipid, polyunsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol. Two cardiovascular risk factors as have been extracted in the ACP, referring to the dependent variables: the standard lipid profile (HDL-C and non-HDL cholesterol) and "standard anthropometric index (BMI, WC, WHR) with a power explaining 75% of the variance of the original data. The factors are representative of two independent variables led to dietary patterns, "pattern 130 western diet" and "pattern protein diet", and one on the lifestyle, "pattern energy balance". Together, these patterns provide an explanation power of 67%. Made adjustment for sexual maturation in males remained significant variables: the associations between puberty and be pattern anthropometric indicator (OR = 3.32, CI 1.34 to 8.17%), and between family history of CVD and the pattern lipid profile (OR = 2.62, CI 1.20 to 5.72%). In females adolescents, associations were identified between age after the first stage of puberty with anthropometric pattern (OR = 3.59, CI 1.58 to 8.17%) and lipid profile (OR = 0.33, CI 0.15 to 0.75%). Conclusions: The low HDL-C was the most prevalent dyslipidemia independent of sex and nutritional status of adolescents. Hypercholesterolemia was influenced by family history of CVD and sexual maturation, in turn, hypertriglyceridemia was closely associated with anthropometric indicators. The variance between the diets was greater for all nutrients. This fact reflected in a variance ratio less than 1 and consequently in a lower number of days requerid to estimate the usual diet of adolescents considering gender. The two dietary patterns were extracted and the pattern considered unhealthy lifestyle as healthy. The associations were found between the patterns of CVD risk with age and family history of CVD in the studied adolescents / As dislipidemias e o excesso de peso corporal em adolescentes, quando associados, sugerem uma progress?o dos fatores de risco modific?veis para as doen?as cardiovasculares (DCV). Al?m destes, os h?bitos alimentares e de estilo de vida inadequados, tamb?m t?m sido considerados impactantes no desenvolvimento de doen?as cr?nicas. Os objetivos do estudo foram: (1) estimar a preval?ncia das altera??es do perfil lip?dico e correlacionar com o ?ndice de massa corporal (IMC), a circunfer?ncia da cintura (CC) e a raz?o cintura/altura (RCA) em adolescentes, considerando a matura??o sexual; (2) conhecer as fontes de vari?ncia da dieta e o n?mero de dias necess?rios para estimar a dieta habitual dos adolescentes e (3) descrever os padr?es diet?ticos e de estilo de vida dos adolescentes, a hist?ria familiar positiva de DCV e a idade e correlacion?-los com os padr?es de risco para DCV, ajustados pela matura??o sexual. Foi conduzido um estudo transversal com 432 adolescentes de escolas p?blicas municipais da cidade do Natal, RN, Brasil, com idade entre 10-19 anos. As dislipidemias foram avaliadas considerando o perfil lip?dico, o ?ndice de Castelli I (CT/HDL) e II (LDL/HDL) e o colesterol n?o-HDL. Os indicadores antropom?tricos inclu?dos foram o IMC, a CC e a RCA. A ingest?o de energia, dos macronutrientes inclusive a fibra, dos ?cidos graxos e do colesterol foi estimada a partir de dois recordat?rios de 24h (R24h). As vari?veis do perfil lip?dico, antropom?tricas e cl?nicas foram usadas nos modelos de correla??o de Pearson e de regress?o linear multivariada, considerando a matura??o sexual. A raz?o de vari?ncia da dieta foi calculada entre o componente da vari?ncia intrapessoal e interpessoal, determinada pela an?lise de vari?ncia (ANOVA). A xv defini??o do n?mero de dias para a estimativa da ingest?o habitual de cada nutriente foi obtida considerando a correla??o hipot?tica de (r) &#8805; 0,9, entre a ingest?o de nutrientes verdadeira e a observada. Utilizou-se a an?lise de componentes principais (ACP) como m?todo de extra??o dos fatores que representaram as vari?veis dependentes denominadas de risco cardiovascular e obtido a partir do perfil lip?dico, do ?ndice de Castelli I e II, do colesterol n?o-HDL, do IMC, da CC e da RCA. Os padr?es diet?ticos e do estilo de vida foram obtidos a partir das vari?veis independentes, com base nos nutrientes consumidos e na atividade f?sica semanal. No estudo da ACP foram investigadas as associa??es entre os padr?es de risco cardiovascular com os padr?es diet?ticos e do estilo de vida, idade e com a hist?ria familiar positiva de DCV, por meio da an?lise bivariada e regress?o log?stica m?ltipla ajustada pela matura??o sexual. O baixo HDL-c foi a dislipidemia mais prevalente (50,5%) nos adolescentes. Foram verificadas correla??es significativas entre a hipercolesterolemia e a hist?ria familiar positiva de DCV (r=0,19, p<0,01); e a hipertrigliceridemia com o IMC (r=0,30, p<0,01), com a CC (r=0,32, p<0,01) e com a RCQ (r=0,33, p<0,01). O modelo linear constru?do com a matura??o sexual, idade e IMC explicaram cerca de 1 10,4% da varia??o dos valores do perfil lip?dico. As fontes de vari?ncia interpessoal foram maiores para todos os nutrientes, em ambos os sexos. As raz?es de vari?ncias foram &#61500; 1 para todos os nutrientes sendo mais elevadas no sexo feminino. Os resultados sugerem que para avaliar a dieta destes adolescentes, 2 dias de R24h seriam suficientes para consumo de energia, carboidratos, fibra, ?cidos graxos saturados e monoinsaturados. Diferentemente, 3 dias seria o recomendado para a prote?na, xvi lip?deos, os ?cidos graxos poliinsaturados e o colesterol. Dois fatores denominados de risco cardiovascular foram extra?dos na ACP, referentes ?s vari?veis dependentes: o padr?o perfil lip?dico (HDL-C e colesterol n?o-HDL) e o padr?o indicador antropom?trico (IMC, CC, RCA), com um poder de explica??o de 75% da vari?ncia dos dados originais. Os fatores representativos das vari?veis independentes originaram dois padr?es diet?ticos, padr?o dieta ocidental e padr?o dieta prot?ica ; e um relativo ao estilo de vida, padr?o equil?brio energ?tico . Em conjunto, estes padr?es fornecem um poder de explica??o de 67%. Feito o ajuste pela matura??o sexual, permaneceram significativas no sexo masculino as seguintes vari?veis: as associa??es entre ser p?bere e o padr?o indicador antropom?trico (OR=3,32, IC% 1,34-8,17); e entre a hist?ria familiar de DCV e o padr?o perfil lip?dico (OR=2,62, IC% 1,20-5,72). No sexo feminino, identificaram-se associa??es entre a idade ap?s a primeira fase da puberdade com os padr?es indicadores antropom?tricos (OR=3,59, IC% 1,58-8,17) e do perfil lip?dico (OR=0,33, IC% 0,15-0,75). Conclus?es: O baixo HDL-c foi a mais prevalente dislipidemia independente do sexo e do estado nutricional dos adolescentes. A hipercolesterolemia teve influ?ncia da hist?ria familiar positiva de DCV e da matura??o sexual; por sua vez, a hipertrigliceridemia foi fortemente associada aos indicadores antropom?tricos. A vari?ncia interpessoal da dieta foi a maior para todos os nutrientes. Tal fato repercutiu em uma raz?o de vari?ncia menor que 1 e consequentemente em um menor n?mero de dias necess?rios para se estimar a dieta habitual dos adolescentes, considerando o sexo. Os dois padr?es diet?ticos extra?dos foram considerados n?o saud?veis e o padr?o estilo de vida como saud?vel. As associa??es encontradas foram entre os padr?es de xvii risco para DCV com a idade e a hist?ria familiar positiva de DCV nos adolescentes estudados

Theoretically, we are grounded on assumptions of Conceptual Linguistics, whose interest analyzes our cognitive apparatus in correlation with our socio-cultural and bodies experiences. We intend to check how is the process of meaning construction and integration of various cognitive domains that are activated during the reading activity. That s why, we take the concept of cognitive domains as equivalent to the structures that are stored in our memory from our sociocultural and corporeal experiences and they are stabilized, respectively, through the frames and schemas. The activation of these conceptual domains, as evidenced by our data, supports the assumption that previous knowledge from our inclusion in specific sociocultural contexts, concurrently with the functioning of our sensory-motor system are essential during the construction activity direction. With this research, we still intend to present a proposal confront the expectations of responses produced by students from the activation of frames and schemas with our predictions / Nossa pesquisa tem por meta principal descrever e analisar os processos relacionados ao acionamento de dom?nios conceptuais subjacentes ? compreens?o do Padr?o Discursivo charge por parte dos alunos da terceira s?rie do Ensino M?dio, na Escola Estadual Professor Ant?nio Bas?lio Filho, em Parnamirim.

In these situations, individuals with Parkinson`s disease (PD) show a significant reduction in gait velocity and stride length, as strides variability and asymmetry increased, factors predisposing to falls. However, recent studies have shown that training involving DT may cause subsequent improvements in gait variables with DT in individuals with PD. The treadmill use was adopted by this study, by promoting greater regularity in step and enhance training. Objective:To investigate immediate effects of gait training associated with cognitive tasks on gait in individuals with PD. Methods: Twenty-two volunteers were randomly divided into two groups: control group (n = 11), who performed gait training on a treadmill for 20 minutes, and the experimental group (n = 11), who performed treadmill gait training for 20 minutes associated with cognitive tasks of verbal fluency, memory, and spatial planning. Participants were evaluated in phase on of antiparkinsonian medication as the demographic, clinical and anthropometric (identification form), cognitive status (Montreal Cognitive Assessment - MoCA), executive function (Frontal Assessment Battery), level of physical disability (Hoehn and Yahr Modified), motor and functional status (Unified Rating Scale for Parkinson`s Disease - UPDRS), and kinematics (Qualisys Motion Capture System). Results: There were not differences between groups, but both showed improvement after the intervention. The control group had an increase in velocity (p = 0.008), stride length (p = 0.04), step length (p = 0.02) and decreased double support time(p = 0.03). The experimental group showed an increase in speed (p = 0.002), stride length (p = 0.008), step length (p = 0.02) and cadence (p = 0.01), as well as a decrease in the width stride (p = 0.001) and total support time (p = 0.02). As the angular variables, the experimental group had a significant increase in the initial contact angle of ankle (p = 0.01). Conclusion: The gait training combined with cognitive activities didn`t provide significant improvements in gait variables with DT, but this study was the first to demonstrate that gait training on treadmill as simple task minimized the negative interference of DT in PD / Introdu??o: A perda na automaticidade da marcha dificulta a realiza??o de atividades concorrentes - Dupla Tarefa (DT). Nessas situa??es, indiv?duos com Doen?a de Parkinson (DP) apresentam significativa redu??o na velocidade da marcha e no comprimento do passo, assim como aumento na variabilidade entre as passadas e na assimetria, fatores predisponentes a quedas. No entanto, estudos recentes t?m demonstrado que o treinamento envolvendo DT pode ocasionar posteriores melhoras nas vari?veis da marcha com DT em indiv?duos com DP. O uso da esteira foi adotado por este estudo, por promover maior regularidade no passo e potencializar o treino. Objetivo: Investigar os efeitos imediatos do treino de marcha em esteira associado a tarefas cognitivas na marcha com DT de indiv?duos com DP. Materiais e m?todos: Vinte e dois volunt?rios foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos: Grupo Controle (n=11), que realizou treino de marcha em esteira durante 20 minutos; e Grupo Experimental (n=11), que realizou treino de marcha em esteira durante 20 minutos associado a tarefas cognitivas de flu?ncia verbal, mem?ria e planejamento espacial. Os participantes foram avaliados na fase on do medicamento antiparkinsoniano quanto a dados demogr?ficos, cl?nicos e antropom?tricos (formul?rio de identifica??o), condi??o cognitiva (Montreal Cognitive Assessment - MoCA), fun??es executivas (Bateria de Avalia??o Frontal), n?vel de incapacidade f?sica (Escala de Hoehn e Yahr Modificada), estado motor e funcional (Escala Unificada de Avalia??o para a Doen?a de Parkinson UPDRS), e cinemetria (Qualisys Motion Capture System). Resultados: N?o houve diferen?as entre os grupos, mas ambos apresentaram melhoras ap?s a interven??o. O grupo controle obteve aumento na velocidade (p=0,008), no comprimento da passada (p=0,04), no comprimento do passo (p=0,02) e diminui??o no tempo de duplo suporte (p=0,03). O grupo experimental apresentou aumento na velocidade (p=0,002), no comprimento da passada (p=0,008), no comprimento do passo (p=0,02) e na cad?ncia (p=0,01), assim como diminui??o na largura da passada (p=0,001) e no tempo total de apoio (p=0,02). Quanto ?s vari?veis angulares, o grupo experimental teve um aumento significativo no ?ngulo do contato inicial do tornozelo (p=0,01). Conclus?o: O treino de marcha associado a atividades cognitivas n?o proporcionou melhoras significativas nas vari?veis da marcha com DT, mas este estudo foi o primeiro a demonstrar que o treino de marcha como tarefa simples na esteira minimizou a interfer?ncia negativa da DT na DP

Weaning occurs when the youngster does not receive direct care from the caretakers anymore. Individuals in the species Callithrix jacchus live in groups composed by the reproductive pair and successive twin sets. Cooperative care is the rule. Infants are weaned early, and from then on, food is provided by the adults in the group. These animals present high levels of social interactions, through play, grooming and social contact. During infant age, the twin becomes the main partner. There are few studies about the juvenile period, especially on Callithrix gender. The objective of this study was describing the pattern of activities and social interactions of four sets (one single and three twin sets) during juvenile phase in two Callithrix jacchus groups. We used instantaneous and continuous focal sampling for juveniles and scan sampling for adults behavioral recordings. Juveniles presented the same behavioral pattern as the adults relating the activity budget, in particular, foraging along the months. The composition of the diet was the same as that of the adults. Food transfer ended along the juvenile period. Social play as much as grooming were important socializing activities for the juveniles. The young individuals in the group were the main partners in social play, specially the twin. Adults were the main partners in grooming interactions. Scent marking differed between twins in the male/female sets, the female presenting the highest levels of marking. The juveniles were independent from adults in foraging activity. Social interaction varied according to group composition, but in general, interacted more with the twin and with the youngsters (infants and subadults), except in grooming. Even presenting many similarities, juveniles showed some differences between genders, which indicates the differentiation in behavior towards reproductive strategies early in the juvenile period / O per?odo juvenil representa a etapa de desenvolvimento entre o desmame e a maturidade sexual. O desmame ? caracterizado como o momento em que o animal jovem p?ra de receber cuidados diretos dos cuidadores. Na esp?cie Callithrix jacchus, os indiv?duos vivem em grupos familiares formados pelo par reprodutor e por sucessivas proles, que s?o, via de regra, gemelares. Os infantes deixam de ser amamentados precocemente nessa esp?cie. Em virtude disso, passam a ser provisionados pelos animais mais velhos, ou seja, mesmo n?o sendo amamentados, ainda recebem cuidados diretos. Apresentam intensa intera??o social, atrav?s de brincadeira, cata??o e contato social. Durante a inf?ncia o g?meo se torna o principal parceiro de intera??o. H? poucos estudos sobre o per?odo juvenil, em especial no g?nero Callithrix. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever o padr?o de atividades e a intera??o social de quatro proles na fase juvenil em dois grupos. Foi utilizado o focal instant?neo e cont?nuo para os juvenis e a varredura para os animais adultos. Os juvenis apresentaram o mesmo padr?o dos animais adultos com rela??o ao or?amento de atividade e, em particular, ao forrageio ao longo dos meses. A composi??o da dieta foi dos mesmos itens dos adultos. A transfer?ncia de alimento cessou no decorrer do per?odo. Tanto a brincadeira social quanto a cata??o foram importantes atividades de socializa??o dos animais juvenis. Os animais jovens foram os parceiros predominantes na brincadeira, com destaque para o g?meo. Na cata??o prevaleceram os machos adultos. A marca??o de cheiro diferiu nas proles mistas, com maior freq??ncia nas f?meas. Os animais juvenis se mostraram independentes no forrageio. A intera??o social variou de acordo com a composi??o do grupo, por?m, de forma geral, interagiram mais com o g?meo e com demais indiv?duos jovens (infantes e subadultos) na brincadeira social e com machos adultos na cata??o. Apesar de apresentarem muitas semelhan?as, os juvenis j? mostram algumas diferen?as entre os sexos, em especial na freq??ncia da marca??o de cheiro, o que indica a diferencia??o com rela??o ?s estrat?gias reprodutivas entre os sexos j? no per?odo juvenil

Several techniques are used to record these behavioral patterns and the photo-identification has been suggested as a proper tool because of its various advantages. Based on this technique, this research verified, between August of 2005 and January of 2006, area fidelity and association patterns of Sotalia guianensis, at Distrito de Pipa s bays, Rio Grande do Norte State south coast. Besides, we measured the association patterns by using the Jaccard index or Half-Weight Index (HWI). According the observation, 22 individuals were not resighted, 11 were resighted, and 36 new individuals were recorded. Nowadays, 69 individuals are cataloged. The residency rate indicated heterogeneity on studied area permanence and the association patterns between photo-identified seem to be context-specific. In addiction, the comparison of associations between two different age classes showed some individuals more frequently interacting with immature individuals. We also observed fluidity on association patterns among our individuals. We suggest that S. guianensis population from Pipa shows plasticity / Os padr?es comportamentais acompanham as mudan?as ambientais, incluindo fidelidade ? ?rea e associa??o entre indiv?duos.

However, the importance of interspecific interactions on the determination of the daily activity patterns may decrease on habitats with high environmental complexity. In this sense, we evaluated two hypotheses in order to understand what factors affect the daily activity patterns of social wasps: 1) The abundance overlap of different species during the day is lower when environmental complexity is greater, and 2) Thermal restrictions may constrain wasp activity. We counted the abundance of several wasp species foraging throughout the day on extrafloral nectaries in two plantations of caupi bean: on esurrounded by a pasture matrix (low structural complexity) and the other surrounded by fruit trees (high structural complexity). Afterwards, we evaluated the abundance overlap during the day, the abundance variations per hour and the preferential time of start and end of day activity. Temporal overlapping between species during the day was high for both plantations. The majority of species had a bimodal abundance pattern, with one abundance peak during the morning and the other during the afternoon. Species of major size started their activity during later hours, while species of minor size were active on every hour. These results indicate two scenarios: first, competition seems to below in these communities and second, temperature seems to be particularly restrictive for the activity of species of greater size. / A coleta de recursos gluc?dios pelas vespas sociais ao longo do dia pode variar como resposta a diferentes mecanismos, podendo responder a restri??es ambientais ou a intera??es interespec?ficas. Por?m, a import?ncia relativa das intera??es interespec?ficas pode ser reduzida em sistemas com maior complexidade ambiental. Para compreender esse efeito, avaliamos as seguintes hip?teses: 1) A sobreposi??o nos hor?rios de forrageamento das esp?cies de vespas sociais ao longo do dia ? menor quando a complexidade ambiental ? maior e 2) o padr?o de atividade di?rio das vespas ao longo do dia ? determinado por restri??es ambientais. Para isso, quantificamos a abund?ncia de diferentes esp?cies de vespas sociais forrageando em nect?rios extraflorais em duas planta??es de do feij?o caupi: uma circundada por matriz de pasto (baixa complexidade estrutural) e outra por frut?feras (alta complexidade estrutural). Iniciamos as observa??es e coletas ao longo do dia, depois que os NEFs do feij?o estavam ativos, e avaliamos o padr?o de sobreposi??o temporal de abund?ncia, o padr?o de abund?ncia em cada hor?rio, bem como a rela??o entre o hor?rio de in?cio e fim de atividade e o tamanho de cada esp?cie. A sobreposi??o temporal foi alta para as duas ?reas. O padr?o de abund?ncia foi bimodal ao longo do dia. As esp?cies de maior tamanho entraram em atividade em hor?rios mais tardios enquanto as esp?cies de pequeno tamanho n?o apresentaram um padr?o de inicio e fim de atividade. Esses resultados indicam que a competi??o entre esp?cies de vespas sociais ? baixa, permitindo a alta sobreposi??o do hor?rio de atividade nas duas ?reas. J? a temperatura parece restringir o hor?rio de atividade para vespas de grande porte.

The current conflicts occur because of the continuation of relationship patterns ; with feelings ; defenses and anxiety which happen repeatedly. This research intends to obtain measures of internal consistency ; converging validity and also the authenticity of the criteria of the Central Relationship Questionnaire CRQ ; a tool of self-report which evaluates the pattern of core conflictual relationship expressed in the relationship with a love partner ; by dimensions: wishes (W) (D) ; responses from other (RO) and responses of other (RE). The sample ; not random ; was composed by a case group (GC) ; of 32 women ; with ages between 19 and 56 (A=38.91; DP=10.25; Mo = 44) in a situation of marital violence; and a non case group (GNC) ; sample by convenience ; of 22 women ; with age between 18 and 37 (A = 32.26;DP=6.18 ; Mo=18) ; pregnant admitted to a maternity center to give birth and who did not suffer sexual violence and did not find themselves in a violent situation. In the GC ; 75% suffered physical violence ; 93.8% suffered psychological violence and 18.8% suffered sexual violence. As an external criteria measure of the CRQ ; the Scale of Symptoms Evaluation EAS-40 ; which measures four dimensions: psychoticism ; obsession-compulsion ; somatization and anxiety. Regarding the internal consistency of the CRQ ; the values of Cronbach alpha for GC varied between 0.59 and 0.83 and in the GNC ; between 0.76 and 0.81. For EAS- 40 in the GC they varied between 0.75 and 0.93 and in the GNC between 0.84 and 0.88. There was no substantial difference between the average scores of the CRQ between the groups; for the EAS-40 the discriminating validity of the tool with substantial differences between the groups regarding the gravity of the psychological symptoms was demonstrated. The substantial correlation between the ROs and the total score of the EAS-40 was found in the study of the converging validity ; and the dimensions: psychoticism and obsession-compulsion; between the REs and the obsessioncompulsion dimension. The results suggest that the Portuguese version of the Brazilian CRQ allows us to reliably evaluate the core pattern of conflict ; expressed in the relationship of women who are victims of violence and their love partners. The internal consistency of the tool is similar to its original version and allows us to properly discern women who are victims of violence from other ones who did not suffered violent events. Research with randomized samples must be carried out. / A Organiza??o Mundial de Sa?de descreve a viol?ncia contra a mulher ; perpetrada por parceiro ?ntimo ; como a forma mais freq?ente de viol?ncia. Os conflitos atuais decorrem da manuten??o de padr?es de relacionamentos ; com sentimentos ; defesas e ansiedade que se repetem. Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo obter medidas de consist?ncia interna ; validade convergente e validade de crit?rio do Central Relationship Questionnaire CRQ ; instrumento de auto-relato que avalia o padr?o de relacionamento central conflituoso ; expresso na rela??o com o parceiro amoroso ; por meio das dimens?es: desejos (D) ; respostas do outro (RO) e respostas do eu (RE). A amostra ; n?o aleat?ria ; ficou composta por um grupo caso (GC) ; de 32 mulheres ; com idades entre 19 e 56 anos (M=38 ;91; DP=10 ;25; Mo=44) em situa??o de viol?ncia conjugal; e grupo n?o caso (GNC) ; amostra por conveni?ncia ; de 22 mulheres ; com idades entre 18 e 37 anos (M=32 ;26; DP=6 ;18 ; Mo=18) ; gestantes internadas em uma maternidade para dar a luz e que n?o sofreram viol?ncia sexual ; nem se encontravam em situa??o de viol?ncia. No GC ; 75% sofreram viol?ncia f?sica ; 93 ;8% viol?ncia psicol?gica e 18 ;8% viol?ncia sexual. Como medida de crit?rio externa do CRQ foi utilizada a Escala de Avalia??o de Sintomas EAS-40 que mede quatro dimens?es: psicoticismo ; obsessividade-compulsividade ; somatiza??o e ansiedade. Com rela??o ? consist?ncia interna do CRQ os valores de alpha de Cronbach para GC variaram entre 0 ;59 e 0 ;83 e no GNC ; entre 0 ;76 e 0 ;81. Para EAS-40 no GC variaram ente 0 ;75 e 0 ;93 e no GNC entre 0 ;84 e 0 ;88. N?o houve diferen?a significativa entre os escores m?dios do CRQ entre os grupos; para a EAS-40 demonstrou validade discriminante do instrumento com diferen?as significativas entre os grupos em rela??o ? severidade dos sintomas psicol?gicos. No estudo da validade convergente encontrou-se correla??o significativa entre as RO e o escore total da EAS-40 ; e as dimens?es: psicoticismo e obsessvidadecompulsividade; e entre as RE e a dimens?o obsessividade-compulsividade. Os resultados sugerem que a vers?o em portugu?s do Brasil do CRQ 6.0 permite avaliar de forma fidedigna o padr?o central de conflito ; expresso no relacionamento de mulheres v?timas de viol?ncia e seus parceiros amorosos. O instrumento det?m consist?ncia interna semelhante ? vers?o original do instrumento e permite discriminar de forma adequada mulheres v?timas de viol?ncia de outras n?o submetidas a epis?dios de viol?ncia. Pesquisas com amostras randomizadas devem ser realizadas.

The more you use the wireless network resource, the better should be the treatment related to its safety aspect. As the security level increases, the amount of information transmitted between the equipment decreases. This thesis aims to analyze the performance of WLAN network with the implementation of WEP and WPA / TKIP security protocols in an environment that uses applications whose characteristic is to generate small packets on the network. The LanTraffic TM software is used to generate traffic and also to capture the transmission rate in Kbps that flows through the stations. Three scenarios are simulated varying in the distance between the equipments. For each scenario, a comparative study was made and the WLAN behavior without the security resource analyzed, then it was analyzed with the WEP fitted and finally with the WPA/TKIP configured. To develop the experiments it was used a WLAN network in a controlled environment in the Laboratory Research on Radio System in PUC Campinas. Therefore, there is not external interference in the signal transmitted by equipments. / A utiliza??o da tecnologia de rede sem fio tem crescido ultimamente motivado principalmente pelo pre?o dos equipamentos, facilidade de instala??o, manuten??o da rede e amplia??o das t?cnicas de seguran?a. Quanto mais se utiliza o recurso de rede sem fio maior tem de ser o tratamento em rela??o ao aspecto de seguran?a. A medida que aumenta o n?vel de seguran?a, decresce a quantidade de informa??o transmitida entre os equipamentos. Esse trabalho visa analisar o desempenho de rede WLAN(Wireless Local ?rea Network) com a implementa??o dos protocolos de seguran?a WEP(Wired Equivalent Privacy) e WPA/TKIP(WI-FI Protected Access / Temporal Key Integrity Protocol). ? utilizado o software LanTrafficTM para gerar tr?fego na rede e tamb?m para capturar a taxa de transmiss?o em Kbps trafegados entre as STAs. S?o emulados tr?s cen?rios variando a dist?ncia entre os equipamentos. Para cada cen?rio foi confeccionado um comparativo e analisado o comportamento da WLAN configurado sem seguran?a, com o WEP habilitado e finalmente com o WPA/TKIP configurado. Para executar os experimentos utilizou-se uma rede WLAN no laborat?rio de pesquisa em sistema de r?dio (LP-SiRa) da PUC Campinas em um ambiente controlado. Com isso n?o h? interfer?ncias na transmiss?o dos sinais emitidos pelos equipamentos Ou seja, sem interfer?ncia externa no sinal transmitido entre os equipamentos.

The reason for this implementation is due to the fact that, in the studied plant configuration, the sensors communicate with the PLC (Programmable and Logic Controller) by the cables and pipelines, making any changes in that system, such as changing the layout of it, as well as inconveniences that arise from the nature of the site, such as the vicinity s animals presence that tend to destroy the cables for interconnection of sensors to the PLC. For software development, was used communication polling method via SMAC protocol (Simple Medium Access ControlIEEE 802.15.4 standard) in the CodeWarrior environment to which generated a firmware, loaded into the WSN s transceivers, present in the kit MC13193-EVK, (all items described above are owners of Freescale Semiconductors Inc.). The network monitoring and parameterization used in its application, was developed in LabVIEW software from National Instruments. The results were obtained through the observation of the network s behavior of sensors proposal, focusing on aspects such as: indoor and outdoor quantity of packages received and lost, general aspects of reliability in data transmission, coexistence with other types of wireless networks and power consumption under different operating conditions. The results were considered satisfactory, which showed the software efficiency in this communication system / Este trabalho tem por finalidade desenvolver um software aplicado a um sistema de comunica??o de uma rede de sensores sem fio (RSSF), para monitoramento de vari?veis anal?gicas, digitais e comando de v?lvulas de passagem do fluxo de g?s em unidades de eleva??o artificial de petr?leo e g?s natural do tipo Plunger Lift. A raz?o desta implementa??o deve-se ao fato que, na configura??o da planta estudada, os sensores comunicam-se com o CLP (Controlador L?gico Program?vel) atrav?s de cabos e dutos, dificultando eventuais modifica??es nesse sistema, tais como mudan?a de layout do mesmo, al?m de inconveni?ncias que venham a surgir da pr?pria natureza do local, como a presen?a de animais nas redondezas que tendem a destruir os cabos de interconex?o dos sensores ao CLP. Para o desenvolvimento do software, foi utilizado o m?todo de comunica??o polling, atrav?s do protocolo SMAC (Simple Medium Access Control - padr?o IEEE 802.15.4), no ambiente CodeWarrior, ao qual gerou um firmware, carregado nas placas de monitoramento da RSSF, presentes no kit MC13193-EVK, (todos os itens descritos acima s?o propriet?rios da Freescale Semiconductors Inc.). O monitoramento e parametriza??o da rede utilizou uma aplica??o, desenvolvida no software LabVIEW, da National Instruments. Os resultados foram obtidos atrav?s da observa??o do comportamento da rede de sensores proposta, focando aspectos, tais como: quantidade de pacotes recebidos e perdidos em ambientes externos (Outdoor) e internos (Indoor), aspectos gerais de confiabilidade na transmiss?o dos dados, coexist?ncia entre outros tipos de redes sem fio e consumo de energia sob diferentes condi??es de opera??o. Os resultados obtidos foram considerados satisfat?rios, o que comprovou a efici?ncia do software neste sistema de comunica??o
