O referido padrão baseou-se no ponto de vista perceptivo e antropométrico, em comparação com os calçados desenvolvidos a partir do sistema de medidas baseado no ponto francês. A partir do banco de dados do Projeto “Mais Calce”, desenvolvido pelo SENAI, que determinou o perfil antropométrico do idoso da Paraíba, foram selecionadas 51 usuárias para a realização da pesquisa. Calçados da tipologia sapatilha com essas medidas específicas foram projetados e submetidos a testes de conforto segundo as normas da ABNT NBR14834 (2015), NBR14835 (2013) e NBR14840 (2011). Os calçados desenvolvidos a partir do ponto francês já existentes no mercado, bem como aqueles desenvolvidos a partir das medidas antropométricas específicas, foram analisados através dos procedimentos técnicos que as normas determinam como padrão, para analisar o conforto sob o ponto ergonômico. Os procedimentos submetidos foram os ensaios de massa do calçado e da percepção do calce e da presença de marcas e lesões. Os resultados obtidos contribuíram com um padrão antropométrico específico para a indústria calçadista, apresentando níveis de conforto 25% superiores aos calçados desenvolvidos a partir do ponto francês, segundo o olhar metodológico das normas da ABNT utilizadas. A validação dessas novas medidas antropométricas contribui de maneira relevante para com a indústria no desenvolvimento de novos produtos, com os consumidores na maneira em que os utiliza e com a área acadêmica onde é apresentada uma pesquisa científica de campo com dados e metodologia passíveis de estudo e replicação. / This study intended to propose an anthropometric pattern for the footwear companies of Campina Grande based on specific measures of its inhabitant elderly women, aged between 60 and 90 years. Such pattern was based on the perceptual and anthropometric point of view in comparison with the footwear developed regarding the Paris point. For this research, 51 users were selected from the database of the Project "Mais Calce" developed by SENAI, which determined the anthropometric profile of the elderly from Paraíba. The flat shoes type following these specific measures were designed and submitted to comfort tests according to the norms by ABNT NBR14834 (2015), NBR14835 (2013) and NBR14840 (2011). Both the already known footwear developed by using the Paris point and those developed from the specific anthropometric measures were analyzed through technical procedures determined as standard by the norms in order to analyze their comfort under the ergonomic point. The procedures undertaken were the testing of shoe mass, perception of its wearing and presence of spots and injuries. The results contributed a specific anthropometric pattern to the footwear industry, demonstrating comfort levels 25% higher than the footwear produced when adopting the Paris point, in accordance with the utilized methodological ABNT norms. The validation of these new anthropometric measures contributes, in a relevant manner, to the industry for the development of new products, to the consumers who wear them and to the academic area, in which scientific field research is presented with data and methodology capable of being studied and replicated.

Text in English / Even though the prevalence of HIV has declined, South Africa continues to have a large number of people who are infected with HIV. Most communities still have to deal with the effects of HIV and AIDS on orphans and vulnerable children. One way of mitigating the effects of HIV and AIDS is strengthening families and communities to provide stable care to orphans. However, most families do not have the capacity to provide sufficient care to orphans hence the need for external support from the community and civil society organisations, in this instance provided through the loveLife goGogetter programme. The findings proved that the goGogetters relied on the support they received through the relationships and networks established in the community to enable them to provide effective service to orphans. The study demonstrated the importance of community networks in providing for the basic needs of orphans. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV/AIDS)
