O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi a avaliação da viabilidade do pós-tratamento de efluente rico em sulfato pré-tratado em sistema anaeróbio, explorando o processo de nitrificação e desnitrificação simultâneas (NDS), em reator de leito estruturado submetido a aeração intermitente (LEAI), utilizando sulfeto como doador de elétrons na redução do nitrogênio oxidado remanescente. O trabalho foi dividido em duas etapas, sendo o sulfeto (HS-) fornecido como doador de elétrons preferencial para desnitrificação. Na Etapa 1, HS- produzido pelas bactérias redutoras de sulfato (BRS) no reator anaeróbio (RAn) esteve continuamente presente no efluente encaminhado ao reator LEAI, uma vez que os dois sistemas foram operados em série. Como resultado, observou-se efeitos tóxicos sobre a comunidade nitrificante, limitando a remoção de N-total. A eficiência máxima de oxidação de N-NH4+ atingida foi de 60 ± 12%. Na Etapa 2, HS- passou a ser adicionado por bombeamento de solução concentrada de sulfeto de sódio. Duas estratégias de adição do sulfeto foram testadas, iniciadas após os 30 min iniciais de cada etapa não-aerada: solução de sulfeto adicionada em pulsos únicos, com tempo de bombeamento de 15 min (Estratégia I) e adição de maneira contínua ao longo dos 90 min restantes de cada fase não-aerada (Estratégia II). A forma de administração de sulfeto reduziu seu efeito inibitório à comunidade nitrificante na Etapa 2, alcançando eficiência de oxidação de N-NH4+ de 65 ± 7,8%. Entretanto, a remoção de N-total no reator LEAI foi limitada pela etapa de desnitrificação, uma vez que aporte de doador de elétrons inorgânico manteve-se abaixo da demanda estequiométrica nas duas estratégias de adição de sulfeto testadas. Observou-se que a adição de sulfeto mais diluída ao longo do tempo (Estratégia II) teve efeitos menos negativos à biota nitrificante na fase subsequente, refletindo em maior estabilidade e aumento da eficiência média de nitrificação de 59 para 65%, em comparação com a Estratégia I. Testes de perfis temporais de concentrações foram realizados ao final de cada etapa para elucidar a dinâmica e os efeitos do sulfeto sobre os processos combinados de nitrificação e desnitrificação. Observou-se que o sulfeto dissolvido foi efetivamente utilizado como doador de elétrons em ambas as Etapas Experimentais, resultando em cargas máximas de N-total removido de 0,095 e 0,065 kgN m-3d-1 nas Etapas 1 e 2, respectivamente. Ao final do período operacional, análises de sequenciamento do rRNA 16s detectaram sequências relacionadas a microrganismos nitrificantes do gênero Luteimonas, desnitrificantes heterotróficos (Thauera e Azoarcus) e autotróficos (Thiobacillus). Esses resultados demonstram que os processos de nitrificação e desnitrificação (autotrófica e heterotrófica) foram os envolvidos na remoção de nitrogênio no reator LEAI. / The present study evaluated the feasibility of the post-treatment of the effluent from an anaerobic system treating sulfate-rich wastewater. The post-treatment was based on simultaneous nitrification and sulfide-driven autotrophic denitrification of the remaining oxidized nitrogen using a structured-bed reactor subjected to recirculation and intermittent aeration (SBRRIA). This investigation was divided into two main sections (Stages 1 and 2), with the sulfide (HS-) supplied as the preferred electron donor for denitrification. In Stage 1, the HS- biologically produced by the sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in the anaerobic reactor (ARn) was continuously provided in the SBRRIA feeding, as the two systems were operated in series. As a result, sulfide partially inhibited the nitrifying activity, limiting the overall nitrogen removal performance. The maximum NH4+-N oxidation efficiency reached was 60 ± 12%. In Stage 2, HS- was added in the SBBRIA by pumping a concentrated solution of sodium sulfide. Two strategies of sulfide addition were tested, both of them initiated after 30 min of each non-aerated period of the intermittent aeration cycle. In Strategy I, the sulfide solution was added by single pulses of 15 min in each non-aerated period. In Strategy II, a continuous sulfide addition during 90 min of each non-aerated period was tested. The sulfide-controlled addition reduced its inhibitory effect on the nitrifying community in Stage 2, resulting in an NH4+-N oxidation efficiency of 65 ± 7.8%. However, the Total-N removal was still limited by the denitrification, as the sulfide supply remained below the stoichiometric demand in both two strategies tested. Strategy II was less harmful for the nitrifying activity in the subsequent aerated period, reflecting in higher stability and increase of the NH4+-N oxidation efficiency from 59 to 65%, compared to Strategy I. At the end of each stage, temporal profiles were performed to elucidate the dynamics of sulfide and its impacts on combined processes. Dissolved sulfide was effectively used as an electron donor for autotrophic denitrification in both stages, resulting in maximum Total-N removed loads of 0.095 and 0.065 kgN m-3d-1 in Stages1 and 2, respectively. At the end of the operational period, rRNA 16S sequencing analysis detected sequences related to nitrifiers belonging to Luteimonas, heterotrophic (Thauera and Azoarcus) and autotrophic (Thiobacillus) denitrifiers. These results demonstrated that nitrification and denitrification (autotrophic and heterotrophic pathways) were likely in the processes involved in nitrogen removal in SBBRIA reactor.

Women treated for a gynecological cancer report longstanding post-treatment difficulties for which they rarely seek or receive help. Few intervention studies have successfully improved global sexual health within this population. Research in this domain is challenging due to inconsistent measurements of sexuality, low response rates and high attrition rates. The overarching study objectives were: (a) To contribute to the advancement of research on supportive care needs (including sexual health needs), desire for help, and predictors of needs; and, (b) To inform the development of services for gynecological cancer survivors. In Study 1, a qualitative interview study explored the experiences of 15 gynecological cancer survivors. Interviews were conducted and analysed based on the Interpretive Description approach . In Study 2 (for which results were analyzed in two parts), a descriptive, cross-sectional needs assessment was conducted to measure supportive care needs, desire for help, sexual health and vaginal changes, and service format preferences in 113 patients. In Part 1 of Study 2, descriptive and regression analyses explored patient needs, desire for help and potential predictors of these variables. In Part 2, a descriptive analysis explored sexual health needs and vaginal changes, desire for help with sexual health needs, and their associations with sociodemographic and medical variables. Qualitative results from Study 1 suggested that psychological, emotional and relational aspects of sexuality were as important to the participants as physiological sexual response. In the needs assessment, the strongest predictors of greater unmet needs and increased readiness for help were younger age and shorter time since treatment. Moderate to high sexual and social needs were equally prevalent in women recently treated and those treated several years prior to the study, suggesting that sexual and social needs may remain unaddressed over time. Further, many women who reported a need did not desire help, demonstrating the subjectivity of needs and distress, as well as the potential presence of barriers to seeking help. Both studies revealed a common finding, where sexual health needs were a product of the discordance between participants’ current sexual experiences and their perceptions of ideal sexual health. Overall, the two studies indicate that a significant subgroup of patients experience unmet needs in cancer survivorship, most of which are non-physical; also, while some needs were higher following treatment, unmet social and sexual health needs show little relationship with time since treatment. Ambivalence about receiving help with unmet needs is related to beliefs about the role of the health care team in meeting non-physical needs, as well as other perceived barriers. Patient’s perceived sexual health needs and barriers to receiving help should be evaluated within a comprehensive framework of needs and discussed one-on-one. Future research should explore the added predictive value of other groups of medical and psychological variables.

This study primarily investigated factors which impact abstaining from drugs for adolescent men after finishing treatment at a specific treatment center in Sweden. The method chosen for this essay was quantitative, using surveys sent to males that finished a treatment period of a minimum time of 4 months at this therapeutic community. Of the 83 questionnaires that were originally sent, 23 responded. Further, the empirical data was tested in the computer program SPSS using gamma and lambda tests obtaining results for the factors to determine whether they correlated with one another other. The essay is based upon the theoretical framework of the salutogenic perspective, systems theory and therapeutic alliance theory. During this study results showed that factors such as relocation, post treatment programs were effective for the dis-continued use of drugs.

The experiment was carried out in three phases characterized by the hydraulic retention times of 7, 9 and 10 days, respectively. The analysis of the UASB and FAC effluents was carried out weekly to evaluate the removal efficiency of organic material expressed as BOD5 e COD, solids and its different fractions, nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) and indicators of faecal contamination (thermotolerant Coliforms). The results showed that there were no significant differences between the FAC effluent during the three phases with respect to organic material and suspended solids (at 5% significance level), but there were differences in the electric conductivity, nitrogen and thermotolerant Coliforms. The FAC presented good performance of organic material removal (65% for COD and 64% for BOD5 during the first phase) and suspended solids (81% for TSS and 83% for VSS during the first phase). Thus it can be noted that the FAC presented good post treatment efficiency of anaerobic effluents, resulting in clarified effluent with low concentrations of organic material (12mg BOD5.L-1), suspended solids (<10 mg TSS. L-1) and turbidity (<10 UNT). With respect to sanitary quality the produced effluent had concentrations of thermotolerant in the range of 103 to 104 UFC.100 mL-1, hence above the standards established by the WHO (1989) for utilization in irrigation without restrictions. / O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho de filtro anaeróbio de chicanas (FAC) no pós-tratamento de efluente anaeróbio, usando garrafas PET como material de enchimento. O experimento foi realizado em três fases, delimitado pelos três tempos de detenção hidráulicas, 7, 9 e 10 dias, respectivamente. As análises dos efluentes do reator UASB e do FAC foram realizadas semanalmente, averiguando a remoção de matéria orgânica na forma de DBO5 e DQO, sólidos e suas frações, nutrientes (nitrogênio e fósforo) e indicadores de contaminação fecal (coliformes termotolerantes). Os resultados mostraram que não ocorreram diferenças significativas no efluente do FAC entre as três fases, em relação a matéria orgânica e sólidos (ao nível de 5%), mas houve diferença quanto a condutividade elétrica, nitrogênio e coliformes termotolerantes. O FAC apresentou bom desempenho quanto à remoção de matéria orgânica (65% para DQO e 64% para DBO5 durante a 1ª fase) e sólidos suspensos (81% para SST e 83% para SSV durante a 1ª fase). Diante desses resultados, observa-se que o FAC apresentou boa eficiência no pós-tratamento de efluente anaeróbio resultando em um efluente clarificado com baixas concentrações de matéria orgânica (12mg DBO5.L-1), sólidos suspensos (<10 mg SST.

The COD and TSS average efficiency varied from 54 to 90% and from 54 to 96% respectively in the UASB two stages (R1 and R2), in a volumetric organic load (VOL) varying from 11 to 26g COD (L d)-1 in the R1. The maximum methane volumetric production was 1.613 m3 CH4 (m3 reactor d)-1 in the R1, having a 19g COD (L d)-1 and an HDT of 14h. Using an aerobic SBR as an effluent pretreater that was generate in the UASB reactors, it was reached an average of removing efficiency of 89%, 93%, 61%, 89% and 71% to total COD, TSS, total P, TNK and TN, respectively, COD varying from 0.4 to 3.6 g COD (L d)-1. This way, in the anaerobic-aerobic combined system (R1 + R2 + RBS) the total COD, TSS, total P, TNK and TN, average removing reached values from 96 to 99%, 96 to 99%, 77 to 85%, 76 to 97% and 68 to 89%, respectively. To Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn the average efficiency was from 77 to 98%, 94 to 99%, 83 to 97% and 62 to 99%, respectively. To the thermotolerant coliforms the removal efficiency average was from 93.80 to 99.99% reaching the lower value of 2.3 x 103 MPN/100 mL.

A opção pelo sistema de wetlands-construídos possibilita tirar proveito de condições secundárias do sistema de tratamento de efluentes como o efeito paisagístico do maciço vegetal, diminuição nos índices de rejeição do sistema pela população e, com a introdução de espécies de interesse comercial, a possibilidade de geração de trabalho e renda para a população circunvizinha. São várias as espécies de interesse ornamental que podem ser adaptadas aos sistemas de pós-tratamento de esgoto dentre elas a Zantedeschia aethiopica (copo de leite), Cyperus papyrus (papiro), Canna x generalis (biri) e Cyperus isocladus (mini papiro) e a mesma versatilidade pode ser aplicada aos materiais utilizados como meio-suporte como, por exemplo, o bambu, testado em comparação à brita no sistema avaliado em Campinas, SP, para pós-tratamento de efluente de reator compartimentado anaeróbio. As espécies ornamentais se adaptaram bem ao sistema de pós-tratamento mostrando-se viáveis para sistemas de wetlands-construídos. a bambu mostrou-se como uma alternativa aos meiossuportes tradicionais embora com resultados inferiores àqueles obtidos quando do uso da brita. Análises estatísticas indicam que, para as condições impostas ao sistema testado, o meio s~porte tem maior significância que a espécie vegetal na eficiência do sistema. Embora operado com tempo de detenção hidráulico significativamente inferior ao ideal, o sistema de póstratamento foi responsável, em média, por cerca de 30% da remoção tanto dos sólidos em suspensão totais quanto da DOa em relação ao total obtido no sistema: reator compartimentado e wetlands-construídos. a wetland-construído de leito de brita e vegetado com papiro alcançou valores médios de remoção de fósforo total de 27,7%. a r~sultado médio obtido para a remoção de coliformes totais e para a remoção de coliformes termotolerantes foi de cerca de 1 log de decaimento, abaixo do desejável. a uso de sistemas vegetados faz com que ocorra significativa perda de água por evapotranspiração e incorporação na massa vegetal, em média, 44,8% durante o período de acompanhamento / Abstract: Anaerobic reactor's effluent post-treatment systems make possible the improvement of anaerobic-treated wastewater characteristics in diverse conditions in a simple way. This posttreatment design flexibility will be able to support small communities to have better environmental conditions even if they did not have a traditional wastewater plant previously. The option for a constructed-wetland wastewater treatment system takes in consideration another advantages, as such as the effect on the landscape, that may change the main focus of the treatment plant from the wastewater, decreasing the plant rejection. The vegetal specie may be used to attend commercial and ornamental interests, and they might improve the income of people and create new places of job in the neighborhood as well. Several species with ornamental ar economic'al value can be adapted to wastewater post-treatment systems like Zantedeschia aethiopica (calla IiIly), Cyperus papyrus (papyrus), Canna x generalis (canna lilly) and Cyperus isocladus (dwarf papyrus). As it occurs to vegetation, many different materiais can be used as substrates in constructed-wetlands systems like bamboo rings, material that was selected to be compared with a gravei bed constructed-wetland located at UNICAMP in Campinas, SP, Brazil, as an anaerobic baffled reactar post-treatment system. The ornamental species were well adapted to the wastewater post-treatment system. Bamboo rings can be used as' substrate, but when gravei is used the system efficiency reached better results. Statistical tests show that, for the conditions imposed to the tested system, the substrate material is more important than the vegetal species to obtain better treatment efficiency. Although the used hydraulic detention time was considerabíy smaller than desirable, the post-treatment system contributed with about 30% of the wastewater treatment system COD and suspended solids removal efficiency results. The best medium total phosphorous removal efficiency value was 27.7% for the gravei and papyrus constructed wetland. The efficiency of total and thermotolerant coliforms removal was about 1 log decay. The use of a vegetated system caused an intense loss of water by evapotranspiration, in average, 44.8%, during research period. This loss covers up the system real capacity in regard to the removal of several parameters, when only compared the affluent and effluent concentrations. The evaluation of the system's efficiency must be verified considering the load removal, instead "of the current methods of analysis based on concentration / Doutorado / Saneamento e Ambiente / Doutor em Engenharia Civil

Este trabalho apresenta uma avaliação dos parâmetros cinéticos, hidrodinâmicos e de transferência de massa de um reator radial aeróbio-anóxico de leito fixo, em escala piloto, com biomassa imobilizada em espuma de poliuretano e alimentado com efluente de um reator anaeróbio horizontal de leito fixo que tratava esgoto sanitário. Os parâmetros estimados demonstraram que as resistências líquido-sólido e intraparticular afetam significativamente a velocidade global de consumo de oxigênio no sistema de leito fixo e que a agitação mecânica pode minimizar essas resistências. Os valores de (KLA), para velocidades superficiais de ar entre 0,14 e 0,95 cm.s-1, variaram na faixa de 20,8 e 58,8 h-1 para água do sistema de abastecimento público, e 16,8 a 53,0 h-1 para esgoto pré-tratado anaerobiamente. A velocidade intrínseca de consumo de oxigênio foi estimada em 19,9 mgO2.g SSV-1.h-1. A velocidade de remoção de DQO pôde ser representada pelo modelo cinético de primeira ordem com residual e a conversão de nitrogênio seguiu modelo de reações em série, de pseudo-primeira ordem, com valores das constantes cinéticas k1 e k2 iguais a 0,251 h-1 e 6,624 h-1, respectivamente. O comportamento hidrodinâmico pôde ser representado pelo modelo de 3 e 4 tanques de mistura completa em série. Foi possível promover a nitrificação e desnitrificação no reator radial aeróbio-anóxico mantido parcialmente aerado, com tempos de detenção hidráulica de 3,3 horas na zona aeróbia e 2,7 horas na zona anóxica, e com adição de etanol como fonte externa de carbono. O efluente apresentou valor médio da DQOf de 52 mg O2.l-1, e concentrações de 2 mg N.l-1, 1,24 mg N.l-1 e 3,46 mg N.l-1, respectivamente, para nitrogênio amoniacal, nitrito e nitrato. / The assessment of hydrodynamics, mass transfer and kinetic parameters of a pilot fixed bed reactor containing immobilized biomass in polyurethane matrices and fed with the effluent of a horizontal-flow fixed bed anaerobic reactor that treated domestic sewege is presented. For oxygen, the estimated parameters showed that the liquid-solid and intra-particles resistances significantly affected the global substrate consumption velocity. It was also found that mechanical agitation can minimize such resistances. The KLA values for superficial velocities between 0.14 and 0.95 cm.s-1 varied from 20.8 to 58.8 h-1 for tap water, and 16.8 to 53.0 h-1 for the anaerobic pre-treated effluent. The oxygen consumption intrinsic velocity was estimated in 19.9 mgO2.gSSV-1.h-1. The COD removal velocity could be represented by a first order kinetic model with residual, while nitrogen conversion followed an also a first order reactions in series model, with kinetic constants k1 and k2 of 0.25 h-1 and 6.62 h-1, respectively. The hydrodynamics behavior could be represented by the model of three to four completely mixed reactors in series. It was possible to promote nitrification and the denitrification in the radial reactor kept partially aerated and operated at hydraulics detention times of 3.3 hours and 2.7 hours in the aerobic and anoxic zones, respectively. The radial reactor effluent presented COD of 52 mg.l-1, based on filtered samples, and concentrations of 2 mg N.l-1, 1.24 mg N.l-1, and 3,46 mg N.l-1 for ammonia nitrogen, nitrite and nitrate, respectively.
