Os estudos da utilização de medicamentos refletem o que acontece com os medicamentos num ambiente com variáveis não-controladas, ao contrário do que acontece nos ensaios clínicos. Dessa forma, este estudo visa determinar o consumo de psicofármacos, contextualizando-o com o crescimento populacional no município de Ribeirão Preto - SP no período de 2008 a 2012, bem como descrever o principal grupo consumidor. Para isto, este estudo observacional analítico transversal foi conduzido por meio do levantamento do uso de psicofármacos por meio dos bancos de dados Hygia (banco de dados da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Ribeirão Preto). Os medicamentos utilizados foram classificados de acordo com a classificação Anatômica Terapêutico Química (ATC) e suas quantidades foram expressas em Doses Diárias Definidas (DDD) a cada 1.000 habitantes por dia (DHD) e em Dose Diária Prescrita (DDP). Exceto para a faixa etária de 0 a 9 anos, em que o consumo tanto de medicamentos no geral quanto de psicofármacos foi maior ou igual para os homens; nas demais faixas etárias observa-se o consumo igual ou maior para todos os medicamentos, sendo o aumento no consumo correlacionado com o aumento da idade das mulheres. Para a maioria dos psicofármacos nota-se uma diferença significativa quando o valor da DDP foi comparado ao da DDD. Quando a taxa de aumento no consumo dos psicofármacos foi comparada a taxa do crescimento populacional, apenas o crescimento no consumo do clonazepam e da sertralina superam o crescimento populacional. Dessa forma, nota-se a importância de estabelecer comparações dos resultados encontrados dos trabalhos que avaliem a utilização de medicamentos com outras variáveis, como no caso, a taxa de crescimento populacional, para se ter uma real dimensão do seu aumento. / The drug utilization studies reflect what happens to the drug in an environment with non-controlled variables, unlike what happens in clinical trials. Thus, this study aims to determine the consumption of psychotropic drugs, contextualizing it with the population growth in RibeirãoPreto - SP from 2008 to 2012, as well as describing the main consumer group. Therefore, this cross-sectional analytical observational study was conducted through survey of the use of psychotropic drugs through databases Hygia (the RibeirãoPreto\'s Municipal database). The drugs used were classified according to the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical classification (ATC) and their amount were expressed in Defined Daily Dose (DDD) per 1000 inhabitants per day (DHD) and Prescribed Daily Dose (PDD). Except for the age group 0-9 years, when the demand for both drugs in general and of psychotropic drugs was higher than or equal to men; in other age groups was observed a consumption equal to or greater for all medicines, the increase in consumption related with the increasing of women\' age. For most psychotropic drugs a significant difference was noticed when the value of PDD was compared to DDD. When increase rate in the consumption of psychotropic drugs was compared the rate of population growth, only the growth in consumption of clonazepam and sertraline exceed population growth.In this way, the importance of comparisons of the founded results of studies were highlighted; assessing the use of medications with other variables, as in the case, the rate of population growth, to have a real size of its increase.

This thesis focuses on the concept of public space as a construct which is formed at time and is a subject to the contemporary social conditions. The first part maps the historical evolution of this construct. The changes of content of terms that have been used at different times in the sense which today is understood as a public space are described. This part presents contemporary theoretical basis, their reflections in the society and also their reflection in the lived reality. It describes the key influences that shaped today's "modus vivendi" of public space. Apart from the ancient agora the work focuses on the Czech environment from the 19th century to the present. The second part, the research work describes how the current discourse of public space, represented by the Via Foundation (Nadace Via) and its program The place, where we live (Místo, kde žijeme), transcribed into the social structure of the three Czech villages. In the context of three case studies we focus on how the public space of these villages have changed and which elements from the past survived in this structure.

This study was undertaken in an effort to determine the effects of piano instruction on attitudes and piano skills of elementary education majors enrolled in a music methods class. A class of nineteen elementary education majors at a private mid-western university served as subjects for the case study. They were given both written and oral pre and posttests, and extensive anecdotal data were recorded.As a result of the study, general conclusions and recommendations were as follows:1. Subjects' initial perceptions of their probable success in the piano laboratory were high. In addition, seventy-nine percent of the subjects accurately predicted their probable success (or failure) in the piano laboratory. It is recommended that instructors take time at the outset of the course to reassure and encouage the students in an effort to increase confidence and thereby the probability of success in the piano laboratory.2. Subjects' attitudes and skill development were negatively affected by perceived inadequacies when comparing themselves to other subjects in the class. As the more advanced students tested out of the piano laboratory, skills and attitudes of the slower subjects improved appreciably. This suggests that ability grouping in methods classes may improve students' perceptions and also performances in these lasses.3. Subjects' confidence in their ability to teach music increased, as indicated by pretest and posttest rankings. Since the sample size was adequately large, the Wilcoxin T value of 7.5 was standardized to a Z value = 2.66 (p <.01). Interpretation of a Z-value = 2.66 strongly suggests the posttest score has significantly increased over the pretest score.4. Subjects' perceptions of their ability to read and write music, their ability to sing songs with their students, and their piano playing ability significantly increased as shown by a series of paired comparisons t-test analyses on the pretest/ posttest data.It is recommended that additional case studies be conducted in the methods class in an effort to isolate and identify additional aspects of the class which influence the students' growth and/ or lack of growth in self confidence and musical skills. / School of Music

This dissertation deals with a study conducted in the public spontaneously University Museum of Art. For this, we research on the history of the Museum. This research took place at the University Museum of Art with the exhibition \"Concrete Animals\" artist Alex Hornest. We use as theoretical research on university museums Adriana Mortara Almeida, researchers John Falk and Lynn Dierking and his theory of interactive experience in museums, on public research studies of Pierre Bourdieu and Alain Darbel. Abigail Housen\'s research with the theory of aesthetic development in the study and assisted in the analysis of audience responses. We develop scripts of interviews for the research field. We analyzed the answers of the interviews in order to define profiles typical visitor found within this museum. In order to propose ways and materials to continue the study and research about the visiting public of art museums. / Este trabalho de dissertação trata de estudo do público espontâneo realizado no Museu Universitário de Arte.

This thesis has been prepared as an architectural study. The subject of solved draft is expansion of Olomouc Museum of Art and the new building of the Central European Forum Olomouc SEFO. In the current building of the museum only street part and middle wing of first floor were significantly changed. In the space of a former cinema was placed the Music Theatre. The extension of street is part of the newly designed building SEFO. New public space is above the underground part of the building. This public space covers upper part of the building, which contain new exhibition spaces for museum. Open street part of new building is the main concept of the design.

The aim of the Master Thesis is creation of strategy and tactics for revitalization and modernisation of the public area of Velké Němčice village. The urban study follows the analysis and conclusions evaluated in the previous semestrial work. The aim of the design is to find a suitable solution to complement the ineffectively used public spaces, and to design new locations into the structure of the village. The thesis comes up with a strategy that provide using of public spaces more. The proposal is based on analyses and consultations with the municipal council.
