Historical Turkish baths still keeping their functional systems represent their original architectural and building technologies. Studies on the functional systems of historical baths are therefore needed to discover such technologies and to maintain them in working order. This study was conducted on a 15th century historical Turkish bath, Seng&uuml / l Hamami, in Ankara for assessment of its water supply and drainage systems. These systems comprised of hot and cold-water supply, wastewater and rainwater drainage, were examined in terms of their adequacy, capacity and faults. Comparisons were made with certain other historical Turkish baths to determine their original water storage and consumption capacities. The investigations were made by using non-destructive methods. Among them, the calculation methods used for discharge capacity assessment of drainage systems in Seng&uuml / l Hamami and consumption capacities of its water supply system were adapted and developed from the calculation methods used for contemporary buildings. Serious dampness problems arising from certain roof drainage faults were identified in the building. The wastewater collection and discharge system was found to have serious problems due to improper grading and inadequate flow dimensions of drains and wastewater channels. The ideal situation for the improvement of discharge systems was discussed together with some suggestions on the urgent remedial interventions, preventive measures and future improvements. The methods developed in this study were considered useful for the calculation of adequacy and capacity of wastewater and roof drainage systems and of water storage and consumption capacities of water supply system for the other historical baths.

Comprehensive studies are needed to discover materials and construction technologies contributing to the thermal performance of historical buildings and to keep them in working order over time. Examined in this study were the thermal performance characteristics of Seng&uuml / l Hamami, a 15th Century Ottoman bath, to discover original thermo-physical properties of historic materials and to assess thermal failures in present situation by taking into consideration recent incompatible repair work. The analyses were done by using non-destructive investigation methods, such as microclimatic monitoring, quantitative infrared thermography (QIRT), heat and water vapour transfer calculations, supported by laboratory analyses on thermo-physical properties of historic materials. The results were evaluated in terms of thermal properties of historic materials establishing the historic dome section, microclimatic characteristics of Seng&uuml / l Hamami, its original thermal characteristics, and thermal failures occurred in time due to wrong repairs. An in-situ assessment method was also developed for the identification of thermal and moisture failures at real boundary conditions by joint interpretation of QIRT and heat transfer calculation results. The study showed that historic dome structure of Seng&uuml / l Hamami was originally configured to provide sufficient thermal insulation characteristics owing to good thermal properties of its materials. That success was attributed to conscious use of low-density, high-porosity historic materials having low thermal conductance and high vapour permeability characteristics. It was seen that the thermal performance of historic structure was severely destroyed by recent repairs using concrete and cement-based materials, which were incompatible with historic fabric of the structure due to their different thermo-physical properties.

The topic of this thesis is the palaestrae of Roman Africa. Although many examples of palaestrae have been found in North Africa, there has never been a study solely focused on these facilities. They have usually been considered only in the context of Roman baths and as features of bath buildings. This thesis examines palaestrae in a new light and analyzes their role as athletic facilities within the sporting culture of Roman Africa. The Roman provinces of North Africa have yielded a particularly rich body of evidence for athletic games and festivals, making this region ideal for studying this topic. The concern of the thesis is twofold. The first issue is the design and construction of palaestrae in Roman Africa. There is discussion of their form, of construction techniques, and of their place in the overall design of baths. The second issue is how their form relates to function. There is a discussion of how palaestrae accommodated athletic activities, such as training and competition. The thesis concludes that palaestrae in Roman Africa were an important part of local athletic culture, used for training and possibly for competition. Greek and Roman models influenced their design, but climate played a significant role. Great effort was made to ensure these buildings were kept cool, not only by placing them in less exposed areas but also by insulating them from the heated rooms of the baths. Local resources and building techniques were important factors in their construction. This thesis includes a gazetteer of palaestra sites in Roman Africa and a catalogue of all inscriptions relevant to the use of palaestrae. / Classical Archaeology

Depuis une dizaine d’année, plusieurs études renouvèlent considérablement nos connaissances au sujet des établissements thermaux publics et de leur pratique au Proche-Orient. Malheureusement, aucune synthèse envisageant le phénomène balnéaire dans une perspective d’histoire des mentalités au sein d’une seule cité ne semble avoir été réalisée. Fondé sur une approche archéologique et architecturale, ce travail a pour premier objectif de proposer une synthèse diachronique de l’évolution des huit établissements de bains publics actuellement connus à Gerasa et de leur pratique au cours de l’histoire. La situation observée dans l’ancienne cité de la Décapole est ensuite confrontée à la pratique thermale dans l’antiquité au Proche-Orient, telle qu’elle est aujourd’hui appréhendée, permettant ainsi d’en dégager les correspondances, les dissemblances et les caractéristiques propres au corpus de Gerasa. S’appuyant sur une méthodologie originale, cette étude souligne le rôle profondément hybride de ces établissements disposant naturellement d’installations permettant le nettoyage du corps mais également d’espaces spécifiques et indépendants pour lesquels les fonctions civique, politique et religieuse peuvent être supposées / For a decade, several studies have renewed significantly our knowledge about public baths and their practice in the Middle East. Unfortunately, no synthesis considering the bathing phenomenon in a diachronic perspective of history of mentalities in a single city appears to have been carried out. Based on an archaeological and architectural approach, this work at first intended to propose a diachronic synthesis of the evolution of eight public bath buildings currently known in Gerasa and their practice in history. The situation in the City of the Decapolis is then confronted to the practice of public bath in Antiquity in the Middle East, as it is known today, allowing to identify matches, differences and characteristics of the corpus of Gerasa. Based on an original methodology, this study highlights the deeply hybrid role of these institutions with natural facilities for the cleaning of the body but also specific and independent spaces for which civic, political and religious functions may be assumed

No. of bitstreams: 1 Viviane de Moraes Sptiz.pdf: 2589490 bytes, checksum: d0198dcb329c6b60384507e96166a773 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017 / Mestrado Profissional em Enfermagem Assistencial / Não há na literatura científica descrição de algoritmo que direcione o enfermeiro para a prática de banho em pacientes com síndrome coronariana aguda (SCA). Dessa forma, a busca por melhores práticas norteou esta pesquisa, que assumiu como objeto de estudo o efeito do banho no leito sobre as repercussões oxi-hemodinâmica nos pacientes com SCA. Objetivos: Geral: Construir um algoritmo para sistematização das etapas do banho no leito tradicional no paciente adulto internado com SCA. Específico: descrever, com base na busca por evidências científicas, o padrão oxi-hemodinâmico de pacientes críticos durante o banho no leito e as principais práticas assistenciais em saúde guiadas por algoritmo; descrever, com base nos resultados do projeto integrado, os efeitos oxi-hemodinâmicos do controle hidrotérmico em pacientes com SCA durante o banho no leito e; adaptar a descrição do banho no leito geral proposto por Potter e Perry ao contexto do paciente com SCA. Método: Pesquisa descritiva operacionalizada em quatro etapas: análise das evidências encontradas na literatura científica sobre os efeitos do banho no leito e algoritmos norteadores da assistência em saúde, resultados de um projeto integrado, adaptação de um protocolo de banho no leito e construção do algoritmo. Resultados: Foram selecionadas três publicações sobre banho no leito e dezenove publicações sobre a utilização de algoritmos para a tomada de decisão. As principais alterações hemodinâmicas descritas na literatura foram aumento da frequência cardíaca (FC) e da pressão arterial diastólica (PAs) diminuição da saturação periférica de oxigênio (SpO2). Relacionado ao projeto integrado, houve incremento estatisticamente significante no consumo de oxigênio miocárdico (MVO2), quando o banho foi realizado com temperatura a 40ºC no paciente taquicárdico e no banho sem constância da temperatura da água em pacientes com PAs alta e pressão alterial média da normalidade. Quanto ao uso de algoritmos, a maioria dos estudos demonstrou ferramentas úteis para nortear as decisões clínicas. O algoritmo foi construído a partir da adaptação das etapas de banho e indicando o banho a 40ºC para o paciente com PAs ≥ 140mmHg e banho sem manipulação da temperatura da água para paciente com FC > 100bpm. Sua utilização poderá ser realizada por meio de bundle ou em formato digital. Conclusão: O algoritmo de banho necessita ser validado antes de ser aplicado na prática assistencial. Espera-se que esta ferramenta contribuia para a tomada de decisão profissional, podendo também ser utilizada como ferramenta para o ensino de fundamentos de enfermagem. Faz-se necessário novas pesquisas para aprofundamento do tema e em outras populações / There is no description in the scientific literature of an algorithm that directs nurses to bathing in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Thus, the search for best practices guided this research, which took as object of study the effect of bathing in the bed on the oxy hemodynamic repercussions in patients with ACS. Objectives: General: To construct an algorithm to systematize the stages of bathing in the traditional bed in the adult patient hospitalized with ACS. Specific: to describe, based on the search for scientific evidences, the oxy-hemodynamic pattern of critically ill patients during bed bath and the main health care practices guided by algorithm; to describe, based on the results of the integrated design, the oxy hemodynamic effects of hydrothermal control in patients with ACS during bathing in bed and; adapt the description of the bath in the general bed proposed by Potter and Perry to the context of the patient with ACS. Method: Descriptive research operationalized in four stages: analysis of the evidence found in the scientific literature on the effects of bathing in the bed and algorithms guiding health care, the results of an integrated project, the adaptation of a bath protocol in bed and the construction of the algorithm. Results: Three publications on bathing in bed and nineteen publications on the use of algorithms for decision making were selected. The main hemodynamic changes described in the literature were increased heart rate (HR) and diastolic blood pressure (BP) decrease in peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2). In relation to the integrated design, there was a statistically significant increase in the myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2), when the bath was performed with temperature at 40ºC in the tachycardic patient and in the bath without constancy of the water temperature in patients with high PA and normal mean alteration pressure. Regarding the use of algorithms, most of the studies demonstrated useful tools to guide clinical decisions. The algorithm was constructed from the adaptation of the bath stages and indicated the bath at 40ºC for the patient with PAs ≥ 140mmHg and bath without manipulation of the water temperature for patients with HR> 100bpm. Its use can be done by means of bundle or in digital format. Conclusion: The bath algorithm needs to be validated before being applied in care practice. It is hoped that this tool contributes to professional decision-making and can also be used as a tool for teaching nursing fundamentals. Further research is needed to deepen the subject and in other populations

O comportamento eletroquímico do aço inoxidável 304 foi estudado em meios de ácido sulfúrico a várias temperaturas, utilizando reagentes de diferentes graus de pureza, na ausência e presença de benzotriazol (BTAH). Foram feitos ensaios gravimétricos, medidas de potencial de circuito aberto e curvas de polarização potenciostática anódicas e catódicas e análise dos produtos de corrosão por espectrometria de emissão atômica. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a performance do BTAH como inibidor em banhos de decapagem industriais de H2SO4. O BTAH mostrou-se um inibidor efetivo para o aço 304 em toda a faixa de concentração de ácido e temperatura estudadas. A eficiência do inibidor- decresce com o aumento de temperatura e da concentração de H2SO4. O filme inibidor obedece à isoterma de Langmuir, tanto a 28,0 °C quanto 70,0°C, e os valores de energia livre de adsorção sugerem adsorção química. As impurezas presentes nos reagentes exercem pouco efeito na eficiência do inibidor. Estudos potenciostáticos mostraram que o BTAH é um inibidor anódico em toda a faixa de potencial e temperatura estudadas. Do ponto de vista tecnológico, os resultados mais importantes são: o BTAH inibe o processo de corrosão do aço, mas não impede a dissolução dos óxidos (carepa); o BTAH não promove dissolução seletiva dos elementos de liga. / The electrochemical behaviour of 304 stainless steel in sulfuric acid media containing benzotriazole (BTAH), was studied at different temperatures, using reagents of different purity grades. Weight loss experiments, open circuit potential measurements, anodic and cathodic potentiostatic polarisation curves and corrosion product analysis by atomic emission spectrometry were made. This study had as objective to evaluate the BTAH perfonnance as corrosion inhibitor in H2SO4 pick1ing baths. BTAH showed to be an effective inhibitor for 304 SS on the entire range of acid concentration and at alI studied temperatures . Inhibitor efficiency decreases as the temperature or acid concentration mcrease. The inhibitive film obeys to Langmuir isothenn, at 28,0 °C as well at 70,0 °C, and free energy adsorption values suggest chemical adsorption. The impurities present in the reagents have little effect on the inhibitor efficiency. Potentiostatic studies have shown that BTAH is an anodic inhibitor on the entire range of potential and at alI studied temperatures. The principal result for pickling baths aplication are that BTAR prevents the steel corrosion, but it does not avoid the scale dissolution and it does not promote selective steel dissolution.

The subject of this dissertation thesis is the architectural study of a wellness center inspired with the Roman baths and sauna´s world. Wellness center is the part of the aqua park called ,, The Water World“ situated nearby the Brněnská přehrada, the area of Rakovec. The disposition of a wellness center is solved with usage of open way of distribution according to the types of zones. Design of colours and use materials evokes the relaxing atmosphere.

The theme of two year masters programme was five senses in architecture. The final project is thermal baths in swiss town Yverdon Les Bains, where are currenctly situated baths which do not meet the spa requirements in terms of capacity, operation or eastetics. The aim of the project is not only to design the new spa building, but also to solve miserable situation of the site, to develop the topic of spa in a park, the relationship to the historical buildings of rotunda, hotel and villa Entremont and to solve the spacial organization of the bath house itself, which is both for relaxation and healing. Part of the project is also to expand the accomodation capacity into the new hotel building.

New thermal spa in town Yverdon is located in a town park. New spa is placed at the edge of the site. Protecting the park from the surroundings and keeping the identity of the park.
