A doença de Parkinson (DP) é uma patologia cujos sintomas podem agravar a qualidade da performance em atividades diárias, principalmente quanto a déficits em movimentos manuais coordenados. No que tange os aspectos de usabilidade na interação com produtos, em específico os de vestuário, percebe-se que até então pesquisas científicas não aprofundam as relações possíveis entre variáveis envolvidas nesse processo. Dentre as variáveis, pode-se destacar as características de manipulação de força e desempenho associadas à percepção de esforço e desconforto gerados no ato de vestir-despir; e, se tais variáveis interferem no gênero e situação de saúde a qual se encontram pessoas idosas. Pelo que se sabe até aqui, diferentes desenhos das interfaces podem influenciar negativamente a ação de abrir e fechar aviamentos de vestuários, limitando a autonomia em realizar essa AVD básica de forma independente. Logo, o objetivo principal do estudo foi compreender os aspectos do manejo de aviamentos de fecho, bem como a influência das perdas motoras e funcionais com base em atividades simuladas de uso, que possam esclarecer detalhes acerca da relação do usuário/atividade/produto. Com metodologia experimental, de caráter descritivo e exploratório, de natureza quantitativa e laboratorial, pode-se avaliar atividades com botões e zíperes. O estudo contou com a participação de 40 participantes em que se verificou por meio dos resultados alcançados que as variáveis de força não influenciam o desempenho de manipulação de aviamentos de fecho e que os efeitos da DP interferem na má execução da atividade coordenada, comprometendo a completude. Também foi constatado que a diminuição do desempenho em manipular aviamentos de fecho e os desenhos dos artefatos influenciam negativamente a usabilidade em fechar e abrir botões e zíperes destacáveis. Cabe ressaltar que os resultados aqui encontrados fomentam a necessidade de conscientização das empresas do setor de vestuário, em desenvolver produtos que possam promover a independência e satisfação do uso, permitindo contribuir com a vestibilidade na interação homem-atividade-produto. / The human aging is increasingly the studies that evaluate chronic degenerative diseases and the interference of those in the capacity performing Activities of Daily Life (ADLs). Parkinson's disease (PD) is a pathology that symptoms can worsen the quality of performance in daily activities, especially as the deficits in manual coordinated movements. Regarding the usability aspects on interaction with products, in particular those of clothing, that scientific research does not deepen the relationships possible between variables involved in this process. Among the variables, it can highlight the characteristics of strength and handling performance associated with the perception of effort and discomfort generated in the act of dressing-undressing; and, if these variables interfere in gender and health situation which are elderly. From what is known so far, different designs of interfaces can adversely influence the action of opening and closing trimmings of garments, limited autonomy in performing this basic ADLs independently. Soon, the main objective of the study was to understand the aspects of the management of trimmings, as well as the influence of motor and functional losses based on simulated activities, which could shed light on relationship details of user/task/product. With experimental methodology, descriptive and exploratory character, quantitative and laboratory nature one might evaluate activities with buttons and zippers. The study was attended by 40 participants that has occurred through the results achieved that force variables do not influence the performance of trimmings and handling the effects of PD interfere with bad execution of the activity coordinated, compromising the completeness. It was also noted that the decrease of performance in manipulating closures trimmings and their drawings was negatively affect the usability to open buttons and detachable zippers. It was worth noting that the results here found the need for awareness of clothing companies, developing products that can promote independence and satisfaction of use, enabling contribute with abilities of wear in human-activity-product interaction

The main terms were selected and assessed by a team of textile teachers and students with the objective to be structured as a conceptual body of information on the following sub-areas of clothing terminology: materials (fabrics and trimmings) and products (garments). This research comprises three main steps: (a) characterization and understanding of the technical vocabulary in the clothing area as well as the identification of a pedagogic demand for a dictionary on clothing terminology, clearly expressed by the textile lecturers and students involved in the assessment of the need and validation of this project development; (b) a proposal for a specific methodology for the compilation of the dictionary which could help the communication process in the lecturing of clothing terminology and (c) based on the terminological principles and the technique of focal groups the dictionary was assessed. The technique of focal groups was used in the first step. In the second step the technique used was that of the terminological methodology adapted to the teaching approach in the Textile Course. In the third step the technique of focal groups was again utilized. It was observed that the main concern of lecturers and students is the lack of a standardized vocabulary, which renders difficult the communication process in both the teaching and learning activities as well as the professional ones in the textile industries. Various aspects, which can overlap, cause this lack of standardization. The main ones pointed out by the study team in the focal groups are: usage of regional words or expressions, usage of foreign words or expressions, analogies, and the low level of formal education, mainly among the industry workers. Another aspect to be considered is the lack of textile literature written in the Portuguese language of Brazil. This evidence shows the importance of a clothing terminology dictionary which will benefit both the education and professional activties in this field of knowledge. This dictionary will also give a substantial contribution to terminological standardization in our research field. With view to fulfill this demand, a dictionary of clothing terminology was compiled with 760 main entries, according to the modern practice in terminology with the necessary modifications concerning our needs. The result of the dictionary assessment was very assertive regarding its structure, contents and possible use in various contexts. The team work emphasized their contribution to the standardization process of the terms that proved to be one of the most important and difficult aspects of this researh work. The significance of this structured terminological dictionary was confirmed by the focal group participants relating to its use for teaching and learning activities, as a reference book, as a source of technical information and also as a tool for pedagogic studies and planning, as well as a significant collaboration to the pedagogic practices in the textile engineering course at University or any other educational institution. Besides, this dictionary can also be used to supply information within the textile field. We are aware that the present work will not exhaust the objectives of this research due to its limitations in opposition to the vast complexity demanded by the compilation of a complete work including all the areas and sub-areas of textile engineering. However, it is an important source for dissemination of concepts on the field of clothing terminology and a tool to effective standardization of the terms used in this subject field / Esta pesquisa trata do vocabul?rio t?cnico t?xtil, especialmente na ?rea do vestu?rio, utilizado como instrumento did?tico no processo ensino-aprendizagem do curso de Engenharia T?xtil, da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Esse vocabul?rio foi criteriosamente examinado com o prop?sito de ser conceituado e contextualizado, nas sub?reas do vestu?rio, materiais (tecidos e aviamentos) e produtos (pe?as do vestu?rio), e, para isso, propomos um dicion?rio terminol?gico, justificado e avaliado por professores e alunos. Assim, a pesquisa comporta tr?s etapas principais: (a) caracteriza??o da percep??o do vocabul?rio t?cnico da ?rea do vestu?rio, e identifica??o de uma demanda pedag?gica formulada por professores e alunos da ?rea t?xtil: a necessidade de um dicion?rio t?cnico do vestu?rio; (b) proposta de uma metodologia, e elabora??o de um produto concreto, para suprir essa demanda: um dicion?rio de terminologia do vestu?rio; (c) avalia??o desse produto por professores e alunos da ?rea. Aplicamos a abordagem qualitativa, fundamentada nos princ?pios Terminologia e a na t?cnica de Grupo Focal. Para a primeira etapa, utilizamos a t?cnica dos grupos focais. Na segunda etapa, utilizamos a metodologia terminol?gica, adaptada ? nossa realidade de ensino. E na execu??o da terceira etapa, recorremos, tamb?m, ? t?cnica dos grupos focais. Constatamos que a principal preocupa??o de professores e alunos converge para a falta de padroniza??o do vocabul?rio, que dificulta a comunica??o, tanto no processo ensino-aprendizagem quanto nas atividades profissionais. As causas da falta de padroniza??o s?o variadas e se sobrep?em, mas foram apontadas entre as principais: os regionalismos, o uso de analogias, os estrangeirismos e a baixa escolaridade. Quanto ? necessidade de um dicion?rio de terminologia do vestu?rio, ficou evidenciada a falta de material bibliogr?fico em portugu?s do Brasil. Tanto professores como alunos mencionaram, repetidamente, a escassez de material t?cnico. Nesse sentido, um dicion?rio t?cnico, adaptado ? nossa realidade, pode representar uma contribui??o substancial para a normaliza??o terminol?gica. Para atender a essa demanda, elaboramos um dicion?rio de terminologia do vestu?rio, com 760 entradas, constru?do conforme os procedimentos da moderna terminologia com os necess?rios ajustes. A avalia??o do dicion?rio foi bastante positiva no que se refere ? sua estrutura, conte?do e usos poss?veis em diversos contextos. Os participantes salientaram sua contribui??o para a padroniza??o do vocabul?rio que, conforme observado se configurava num dos principais problemas. Professores e alunos destacaram sua utilidade para o ensino-aprendizagem, como obra de refer?ncia, fonte de informa??es t?cnicas e instrumento de estudo e planejamento did?tico. Acreditamos que, atrav?s da cria??o do dicion?rio de terminologia do vestu?rio, estamos colaborando de maneira significativa para as pr?ticas pedag?gicas no curso de Engenharia T?xtil. H? ainda, a expectativa de que esse instrumento possa ser ?til ?s demais ?reas t?xtil. Com este trabalho, n?o pretendemos exaurir a pesquisa. Temos consci?ncia de suas limita??es, em contraposi??o ? amplitude e complexidade que exigiria um trabalho terminol?gico que inclu?sse todas as ?reas e sub?reas do curso de Engenharia T?xtil. No entanto, temos a convic??o de que ele poder? servir como uma importante fonte para dissemina??o de conceitos sobre a ?rea do vestu?rio, e, acreditamos, colaborar para a efetiva??o da padroniza??o da terminologia utilizada nessa ?rea

Doctor of Philosophy / Food Science Program / Daniel Y.C. Fung / Curtis L. Kastner / This dissertation was designed to evaluate antimicrobial, quality, and shelf life effects of controlled phase carbon dioxide (CPCO2) on beef trimmings destined for ground beef. Critical parameters included pressure, temperature, exposure times, modified atmosphere conditions, and days of simulated retail display. 1500 psi CPCO2 for 15 min achieved 0.83, 0.96, 1.00, and 1.06 log reductions for Total Plate Count (TPC), Generic E. coli (GEC), E. coli O157:H7 (O157), and Salmonella spp. (SS), respectively. Bacterial reductions in ground beef and beef trimmings were similar (P≥0.05). CIE L*, a*, and b* values in raw patties showed no differences (P≥0.05) immediately after CPCO2 application on beef trimmings. Nevertheless, significant (P<0.05) interactions were found in pressure by packaging for L*, in pressure by packaging by days of simulated retail display for a*, and in packaging by days of simulated retail display for b* scores. Nevertheless, after 5 days of simulated retail display, L*, a*, and reflectance (630/580nm) ratios were similar for all treatments (P≥0.05), and b* scores were most acceptable with 1500 CPCO2 (P≥0.05), regardless of the packaging conditions. After 5 days of display, cooked patties showed similar (P≥0.05) values for crude protein (%CP) and crude fat (%CF), the extent of lipid oxidation (TBARS), was higher (P0.05) in aerobic trays than flushed packages with 100% CO2. Ground beef patties manufactured from beef trimmings treated with CPCO2scored higher values for tenderness (P0.05) than other treatments. In addition, no differences (P0.05) for juiciness, beef flavor intensity, or off flavor intensity were found between non-treated and the 1500 psi CPCO2 treated patties. Microbial control of spoilage organisms and foodborne pathogens in ground beef patties with CPCO2 application in beef trimmings was effective (0.6 to 1.2 logs). Lethality levels are comparable to other intervention strategies. Discoloration of beef trimmings after CPCO2 application may not be a concern for grinding purposes. Further packaging with 100% CO2 is viable for controlling spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms after packaging and during refrigerated storage, although discoloration of raw ground beef patties packaged with 100% CO2 may be a concern for product marketing.
