However, their removal from the natural environments for both illegal trade and captive maintenance, presents one of the main problems to be solved by the competent organs of fauna protection. In view of this, the centers for the rehabilitation and sorting of wild animals, responsible for receiving, identifying, marking, triaging, evaluating, recovering and allocating specimens of native wildlife were instituted. These institutions make an indispensable contribution to the process of conservation of ex situ species and are strong allies in the relocation of species in their habitat. The objective of this dissertation was to obtain data about the avifauna received at Pro-Arara, a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center created in the municipality of Araras-SP, generating information about the factors that affect the different species and motivate the delivery of these in this type of enterprise, as well as to develop a computer registry system to assist in local management. To do so, data recorded from July 2014 to July 2016 were considered for all species received and destined, as well as their provenance, analyzing by the documentation submitted by the environmental police. The development of the computer program was carried out jointly with the computer sector of the Municipality of Araras and the data collected were compiled and organized in a descriptive statistical way. During the study period, 607 birds were received, totaling 61 species distributed in 15 orders and 25 families. The most frequent order recorded was the Psittaciformes, Psittacidae family, comprising 49.59% of the total number of birds received. Within this group, individuals of the species Psittacara leucophthalmus (18,29%), Brotogeris chiriri (9,56%), Ara ararauna (7,74%) and Amazona aestiva (6,92%) predominated. Seven species are listed in the list of endangered fauna in the State of São Paulo: Ara ararauna (47), Ara chloropterus (1), Alipiopsitta xanthops (1), Sporophila maximiliani (5), Amazona amazonica (9), Sporophila angolensis (16) and Cyanoloxia brissonii (4), corresponding to 13,67% of the total. Regarding the provenance of the animals received, seizures by the environmental police (64,74%), followed by rescue of animals in situations of danger carried out by the competent organs (16,8%) predominated, and spontaneous self-surrender Population, in which the animal was in an irregular domestic guard (9,72%). Of the total number of animals received, 56,01% were referred to areas of release and monitoring in the State of São Paulo and 23,40% remained in the process of rehabilitation. The percentage of deaths recorded was 14,5%. From the results obtained, it is concluded that the Pro-Arara is a fauna enterprise with great importance for the conservation of avifauna species in the state of São Paulo and it would be important to be expanded to increase its capacity to receive animals. Another important action is the intensification of environmental education work, to raise people´s awareness in relation of the role of species in the natural environment. / O Brasil é considerado a nação com maior diversidade no mundo estimando-se que possua mais de 13% da biota mundial e 1919 espécies de aves. Entretanto, sua retirada dos ambientes naturais tanto para o comércio ilegal quanto para manutenção em cativeiro, apresenta-se como um dos principais problemas a ser resolvido pelos órgãos competentes de proteção à fauna. Diante disso, foram instituídos os centros de reabilitação e triagem de animais silvestres, responsáveis por receber, identificar, marcar, triar, avaliar, recuperar e destinar espécimes da fauna silvestre nativa. Estas instituições prestam contribuição indispensável no processo de conservação de espécies ex situ e são fortes aliadas na realocação das espécies em seu habitat. Sendo assim, esta dissertação teve como objetivo a obtenção de dados a respeito da avifauna recebida no Pró-Arara, um Centro de Reabilitação de Animais Silvestres criado no Município de Araras-SP, gerando informações sobre os fatores que afetam as diferentes espécies e motivam a entrega destas nesse tipo de empreendimento, bem como desenvolver um sistema computacional de registro para auxiliar na gestão do local. Para tanto, foram considerados dados registrados no período de julho de 2014 a julho de 2016 referente a todas as espécies recebidas e destinadas, assim como suas procedências, analisando a documentação entregue pela polícia ambiental. O desenvolvimento do programa computacional foi realizado em conjunto com o setor de informática da Prefeitura Municipal de Araras e os dados coletados foram compilados e organizados de forma estatística descritiva. No período estudado foram recebidas 607 aves, totalizando 61 espécies distribuídas em 15 ordens e 25 famílias. A ordem mais frequente registrada foi a Psittaciformes, família Psittacidae, compreendendo 49,59% do total de aves recebidas. Dentro deste grupo predominaram indivíduos da espécie Psittacara leucophthalmus (18,29%), Brotogeris chiriri (9,56%), Ara ararauna (7,74%) e Amazona aestiva (6,92%). Foram registradas sete espécies que constam na lista da fauna ameaçada de extinção no Estado de São Paulo: Ara ararauna (47), Ara chloropterus (1), Alipiopsitta xanthops (1), Sporophila maximiliani (5), Amazona amazonica (9), Sporophila angolensis (16) e Cyanoloxia brissonii (4), correspondendo a 13,67% do total. No que diz respeito à procedência dos animais recebidos, predominaram as apreensões realizadas pela polícia ambiental (64,74%), seguidos de resgate de animais em situações de perigo realizado pelos órgãos competentes (16,8%) e, entrega espontânea realizada pela própria população, a qual o animal encontrava-se em guarda doméstica irregular (9,72%). Do total de animais recebidos, 56,01% foram encaminhados para áreas de soltura e monitoramento no Estado de São Paulo e 23,40% ainda permaneciam em processo de reabilitação. O percentual de óbitos registrados foi de 14,5%. A partir dos resultados obtidos, conclui-se que o Pró-Arara é um empreendimento de fauna com grande importância para o auxílio na conservação das espécies de avifauna no estado de São Paulo e seria importante ser ampliado para aumento de sua capacidade de recebimento de animais. Outra ação primordial é a intensificação dos trabalhos de educação ambiental, para a conscientização das pessoas em relação ao papel que as espécies exercem no meio natural.

Magister Artium (Psychology) - MA(Psych) / Drug abuse as well as risky sexual behaviours has been identified, globally as well as in South Africa, as social problems with dire consequences. Research suggests that crystal methamphetamine use leads to risky sexual behaviours such having unprotected sex, which can lead to unplanned pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections (STI's) including HIV infection. Adolescents as well as females have been identified as risk populations for both sexual risk behaviours and drug abuse. Furthermore, the Western Cape showed high rates of crystal methamphetamine addiction, especially in the under 20 age category, and the highest increase in the incidence of HIV infections in South Africa. This may be indicative of the magnitude of the problem of risky sexual behaviours in the context of crystal methamphetamine use in the Western Cape. / South Africa

O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a condição funcional dos pacientes paraplégicos internados no HC- IOT FMUSP entre 2000 a 2004, que realizaram tratamento nos centros de reabilitação e os que não realizaram e identificar os fatores que interferiram na acessibilidade ao centro de reabilitação. Os dados foram coletados na cidade de São Paulo, entre 2005 a 2007. Foram entrevistados 39 indivíduos paraplégicos por traumatismo raquimedular. A média de idade do grupo estudado foi de 33,4 ± 12,7 anos (15 - 66), sendo 35 (89,7%) pessoas do gênero masculino e quatro (10,3%) do sexo feminino. Estes pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos: Grupo Centro de Reabilitação (GCR), com 24 pacientes (62%) e Grupo Não Centro de Reabilitação (GNCR) com 15 pacientes (38%). Os resultados mostraram que o tempo de espera e falta de transporte para tratamento foram fatores que interferiram na não adesão ao tratamento em centros de reabilitação, levando à opção de reallizar fisioterapia em clínicas mais próximas. A ocorrência de problemas clínicos foi um dos fatores que contribuiu para a demora (média de seis meses) de iniciar o programa de reabilitação no GCR. Os pacientes solteiros e com lesões mais graves foram os que mais procuraram o centro de reabilitação. Não houve diferença quanto a capacidade funcional, avaliada através da MIF (Medida da Independência Funcional), e quanto a inserção social, avaliada pelo retorno dos pacientes ao trabalho / The objective of this article was to compare the functional condition of paraplegic by traumatic spinal cord injured patients hospitalized in HC-IOT FMUSP from 2000 to 2004, that were undergone and not rehabilitation center and identify interfering factors in this accessibility. All data was collected in São Paulo city, since 2005 to 2007. Thirty-nine SCI patients were interviewed. The average age was 33, 4 ± 12, 7 years (15-36), 35 (89, 7%) males and four (10,3%) females. Those patients were divided in two groups: Rehabilitation Center Group (RCG), 24 (62%) patients, and No Rehabilitation Center Group (NRCG), 15 (38%) patients. The results have showed that delay and transport problems were interfering factors beginning and maintenance of treatment in Rehabilitation Center, making them looking for rehabilitation at close clinics. Clinical problems was one of the factors that contribute to delay (average = 6 months) rehabilitation program in RCG. The single patients and the serious injured patients have undergone more to rehab center than the other group. There is no difference in functional ability evaluated by FIM (Functional Independence Measure), and in social integration evaluated by work return between groups

The design of a drug rehabilitation center for women with children incorporated the treatment theories of therapeutic communities. At the time this center was designed, only two facilities of this type were in use specifically for women. The Washington metropolitan area was in need of such a treatment program for women. Three architectural concepts were studied which were appropriate for this type of facility: threshold, community and natural light. Threshold became a symbol for change. The development of a small community within was the unifying concept for this project. Natural light was developed as an important element which is a healing medicine for the psychological and mental health of a person. Society needs to deal with the problem of drugs and the hold they take on people. It is no longer responsible for us to turn our heads from this affliction. Facilities such as the one developed in this thesis will help mothers overcome their addictions, while obtaining some family cohesion. The children that are able to participate with their mothers will hopefully avoid the same mistakes their own mothers made. One day they may grow up to become responsible, contributing parents and citizens. / Master of Architecture

This research investigated the availability and nature of the rehabilitation service at primary health care level rendered by rehabilitation staff in the Metropole district health services. The aim of the study was to determine the extent to which selected elements of the rehabilitation components of the primary health care service package are currently being implemented. In doing so, the study aimed to identify obstacles within the district management as perceived by rehabilitation therapists that hinder the implementation of the rehabilitation programme, so as to make recommendations for future planning.

The purpose of the study have been: (1) to provide an explanatory, descriptive, and analytic viewpoint of the functions and structure of crisis intervention centers (2) to provide an intensive investigation of counseling and treatment practices in crisis intervention centers and (3) to relate the experiences that the writer has encountered as a resident counselor at Help House Inc. (twenty-four hour drug and crisis intervention center in Denton, Texas) to sociological, psychological, social psychological and philosophical constructs that deal with or pertain to crisis intervention, particularly in the area of drug use. The study indicates how participatory observation serves as an aid in acquiring insight into sociological areas such as crisis intervention centers. The role of the participatory observer is most important because concepts and theories arise out of actual situations.
