Previous issue date: 2011 / Inquieta em decorrência de elevada incidência da Síndrome de Disfunção Lacrimal – SDL – entre meus pacientes trabalhadores e, instigada pelos estudos realizados no Curso de Mestrado em Educação Ambiental, promovido pela Universidade Federal do Rio Grande, cheguei ao problema de pesquisa que originou esta dissertação. Partindo da hipótese de que poderia haver relação entre a Síndrome de Disfunção Lacrimal de causa evaporativa e as condições ambientais do trabalho internas, encaminhei a pesquisa nessa direção. O objetivo geral centrou-se na explicitação dessa relação, definindo, como objetivos específicos: a) conhecer e compreender a prevalência ocupacional no grupo de trabalhadores em ambientes ocupacionais internos portadores da SDL; b) descrever e analisar as causas mais prováveis do desencadeamento/agravamento da Síndrome de Disfunção Lacrimal em ambientes internos de trabalho, explicando as de maior frequência; c) propor sugestões, à luz dos resultados da pesquisa, de saberes e recomendações que sejam capazes de contribuir para ações preventivas da Síndrome de Disfunção Lacrimal em ambientes laborais internos, que ofereçam condições adequadas de conhecimento aos trabalhadores, gestores, administradores, de modo a se constituir em processo de Educação Ambiental e assim mudar a qualidade de suas vidas. A pesquisa caracterizou-se como de abordagem quali-quantitativa, atendendo aos objetivos previstos para o processo de investigação, assim como analisar a realidade delimitada, fazendo recorte do contexto mais amplo – processo de saúde-doença do trabalhador em ambientes de trabalho internos. Isso significa que, além da quantidade de sujeitos afetados pela Síndrome de Disfunção Lacrimal, considerei a relevância social da investigação e sua provável contribuição para outros estudos sobre o processo de saúde-doença do trabalhador e a indicação de alternativas de Educação Ambiental, na perspectiva da minimização/prevenção à SDL. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em uma área privada de consulta oftalmológica, na cidade de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil. Os sujeitos que participaram deste estudo são trabalhadores atuantes em ambientes fechados, os quais recorreram aos meus serviços médicos. Foram submetidos à anamnese e exames oftalmológicos, a fim de confirmar ou não a hipótese de Síndrome de Disfunção Lacrimal. Após a confirmação da doença, os sujeitos, tendo consentido participarem da pesquisa, responderam a um formulário por mim aplicado, quando foram analisadas as respostas. O estudo abrangeu trabalhadores de meios ocupacionais internos, num total de 98 (noventa e oito) portadores da Síndrome de Disfunção Lacrimal. Os dados obtidos na pesquisa foram analisados, gerando gráficos estatísticos e a interpretação dos mesmos. A realidade revelada reafirma a situação de opressão em que ainda vive o trabalhador brasileiro, tendo sua saúde prejudicada por condições inadequadas dos ambientes de trabalho internos. Os aspectos conclusivos, mesmo que de grande impacto para as questões tratadas nesta dissertação, devem ser entendidos como possibilidades para novos temas de pesquisa e para a ampliação do conhecimento acerca da atividade de trabalho e a urgência de proposta de Educação Ambiental que proteja a saúde do trabalhador e reafirme seus direitos fundamentais como cidadão. / Restless as a result of high incidence of Lacrimal Dysfunction Syndrome – LDS - among my employees patients and instigated by the studies in the Masters Course in Environmental Education, sponsored by the Federal University of Rio Grande, I came to the research problem that originated this dissertation. On the assumption that there could be relationship between the Lacrimal Dysfunction Syndrome of evaporative cause and internal environmental conditions of work, I conveyed, therefore, the research in this direction. The general objective has focused on clarification of this relationship, defining as specific objectives: a) know and understand the occupational prevalence in the group of workers in internal occupational environments carriers of LDS; b) describe and analyze the most likely causes of triggering/worsening of the Lacrimal Dysfunction Syndrome in indoor environments of work explaining the increased frequency environments; c) propose suggestions, in the light of research results, of knowledge and recommendations that are able to contribute to the preventive actions of Lacrimal Dysfunction Syndrome in internal working environments, that offer suitable conditions of knowledge to workers, managers, administrators, in order to consist in process of Environmental Education and thus change the quality of their lives. The research has been characterized as of quali-quantitative approach, meeting the objectives set for the investigation, as well as to analyze the delimited reality, making clipping of the broader context - health- illness process of the worker in internal working environments. This means that, in addition to the amount of subjects affected by the Lacrimal Dysfunction Syndrome, I considered the social relevance of investigation and its likely contribution to other studies on health-illness process of the worker and the indication of alternative Environmental Education from the perspective of minimization / prevention to LDS. The study was conducted in a private area of an ophthalmologic appointment in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul / Brazil. The subjects who participated in this study are workers active in closed environments, which resorted to my medical services. Were submitted to anamnesis and ophthalmologic examinations, in order to confirm or not the hypothesis of Lacrimal Dysfunction Syndrome. After the confirmation of the disease, the subject, having consented to, participate in the study, responded to a form which I applied, when were analyzed the responses. The study covered workers from internal occupational means, in a total of 98 (ninety-eight) patients with the Lacrimal Dysfunction Syndrome. The data obtained in the study were analyzed, generating statistical charts and their interpretation. The reality revealed reaffirms the situation of oppression in which still lives the brazilian worker, having their health damaged by inadequate conditions of internal working environments. The conclusive aspects, even with major impact on the issues dealt in this dissertation, must be understood as possibilities for new topics of research and for the expansion of knowledge about the labor activity and the urgency of suggestion of Environmental Education that protects the health of the worker and reaffirm their fundamental rights as a citizen.

Tuberculose e diabetes mellitus: abordagens na trajetória espaço-temporal / Tuberculosis and Diabetes Mellitus: approaches in spatio-temporal trajectoryAnna Carolina Lima de Alencar 25 February 2014 (has links)
Introdução: Estudos epidemiológicos tem elucidado a associação entre diabetes mellitus (DM) e tuberculose (TB), reacendendo o debate quanto à suscetibilidade de indivíduos com DM tipo 1 e tipo 2, em adquirir a doença. Progressivamente, o DM tem apresentado alta prevalência, revelando-se como mais uma epidemia a ser superada. Considerando-se a continuidade das altas taxas de TB, acredita-se que a convergência destas com as taxas de DM constitui-se como problema importante de saúde pública. A literatura científica tem mostrado sobejamente a explicação de tais enfermidades, substantivamente na perspectiva clínica e biológica, ainda que no caso da TB, a sua associação às condições de vida adquira maior relevo. Entretanto, o que ocorre quando a TB e o DM encontram-se associadas? Quais são as tendências, na produção da literatura científica e que tipos de abordagens tem sido conduzidas para a interpretação de tais enfermidades? Destaca-se, portanto, a importância de analisar a produção científica mundial a respeito desta associação, em especial, buscando-se identificar se expõe a determinação social, quando estas enfermidades encontram-se associadas. Objetivo: Objetiva analisar como a literatura científica tem apresentado a associação entre o Diabetes Mellitus e a Tuberculose. Método: Trata-se de revisão integrativa. As buscas foram realizadas nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS, CINAHL, Web of Science e Dedalus (USP). Resultados: Considerando-se o período de 2000 a 2012, foram identificadas e selecionadas 352 publicações por títulos e resumos, das quais 62 foram analisadas por ano de publicação e principal abordagem do estudo. As publicações foram classificadas nos seguintes enfoques: farmacológico (10; 16,1%), imunológico (13; 20,96%), apresentação clínica (13; 20,96%) ou epidemiológico (26; 41,93%). Foram encontrados 7 estudos que foram reclassificados como enfoque social (6). Conclusão: Apesar de realizados em países com forte desigualdade social e desigualdades em saúde, como Índia, China, México, Malásia e municípios de fronteira entre Texas (EUA) e o México localidades que apresentam bolsões importantes de pobreza, onde a incidência da TB permanece alta e a do DM se mantém crescente, a maior parte dos estudos (96,77%) não considera a forte determinação social posta na causalidade destas doenças, bem como os determinantes sociais de saúde como condicionantes para a coexistência destas enfermidades / Introduction: Epidemiological studies have clarified the association of diabetes mellitus (DM) with tuberculosis (TB), escalating the debate concerning the susceptibility of individuals with DM type 1 and type 2, to contract the disease. Progressively, DM has presented high prevalence, revealing as another epidemic to be overcome. Considering the steadily high rates of TB, we believe that the convergence of them with DM rates constitutes an important issue for the public health. The scientific literature has widely shown the interpretation of such illnesses, mainly in clinical and biological perspectives, although in the case of TB, its association with life conditions is highlighted. Nevertheless, what occurs when TB and DM are associated? What are the tendencies in the production of scientific literature and what types of approaches have been conducted to interpret such illnesses? Thus, the importance to analyze what is being produced worldwide concerning this association is pointed out, specially, seeking to identify whether the scientific literature exposes the social determination when these illnesses are associated. Objective: this study has as objective to analyze how the scientific literature has presented the association of Diabetes Mellitus with Tuberculosis. Method: it is an integrative review whose research was carried out on PubMed, LILACS, CINAHL, Web of Science and Dedalus (USP) data base. The study is based on the following questions: What are the approach tendencies in the association of TB with DM, considering the period of 2000 to 2012? and Since the association TB-DM was first documented, what has been the tendencies approached in the health-illness process? Results: 352 publications by titles and abstracts were identified and selected, from which 62 were analyzed considering the publication year and the main study approach, being therefore classified into pharmacological (10; 16,1%), immunological (13; 20,96%), clinical presentation (13; 20,96%) or epidemiological (26; 41,93%) approaches. Depending on the emphasis of the variables considered and on the discussion emphasis, the studies were subdivided in social approach (7). Conclusion: Despite being carried out in countries with high social inequality and inequalities in health, such as India, China, Mexico, Malaysia and cities bordering Texas (USA) and Mexico which are among the poorest municipalities in the USA, where TB incidence keeps high and DM increases, the majority of the studies (96,77%) looked into TB-DM association in clinical and programming scope, without considering the strong social determination laid on the causality of these diseases, as well as the social determinants of health as constraints for the coexistence of these illnesses

Action in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: an Enactive Psycho-phenomenological and Semiotic Analysis of Thirty New Zealand Women's Experiences of Suffering and RecoveryHart, M J Alexandra January 2010 (has links)
This research into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) presents the results of 60 first-person psycho-phenomenological interviews with 30 New Zealand women. The participants were recruited from the Canterbury and Wellington regions, 10 had recovered. Taking a non-dual, non-reductive embodied approach, the phenomenological data was analysed semiotically, using a graph-theoretical cluster analysis to elucidate the large number of resulting categories, and interpreted through the enactive approach to cognitive science.
The initial result of the analysis is a comprehensive exploration of the experience of CFS which develops subject-specific categories of experience and explores the relation of the illness to universal categories of experience, including self, ‘energy’, action, and being-able-to-do.
Transformations of the self surrounding being-able-to-do and not-being-able-to-do were shown to elucidate the illness process.
It is proposed that the concept ‘energy’ in the participants’ discourse is equivalent to the Mahayana Buddhist concept of ‘contact’. This characterises CFS as a breakdown of contact. Narrative content from the recovered interviewees reflects a reestablishment of contact.
The hypothesis that CFS is a disorder of action is investigated in detail.
A general model for the phenomenology and functional architecture of action is proposed. This model is a recursive loop involving felt meaning, contact, action, and perception and appears to be phenomenologically supported.
It is proposed that the CFS illness process is a dynamical decompensation of the subject’s action loop caused by a breakdown in the process of contact.
On this basis, a new interpretation of neurological findings in relation to CFS becomes possible. A neurological phenomenon that correlates with the illness and involves a brain region that has a similar structure to the action model’s recursive loop is identified in previous research results and compared with the action model and the results of this research. This correspondence may identify the brain regions involved in the illness process, which may provide an objective diagnostic test for the condition and approaches to treatment.
The implications of this model for cognitive science and CFS should be investigated through neurophenomenological research since the model stands to shed considerable light on the nature of consciousness, contact and agency.
Phenomenologically based treatments are proposed, along with suggestions for future research on CFS. The research may clarify the diagnostic criteria for CFS and guide management and treatment programmes, particularly multidimensional and interdisciplinary approaches.
Category theory is proposed as a foundation for a mathematisation of phenomenology.
