Participaram do estudo quatro pessoas: um médico, uma enfermeira, um técnico de enfermagem e uma fisioterapeuta, membros da equipe de saúde da UTI de um hospital escola público, situado em Florianópolis, Brasil. Os informantes deram consentimento por escrito e verbal. A confidencialidade e o anonimato foram assegurados pela utilização do nome da profissão dos funcionários. O Comitê de Ética em pesquisa com Seres Humanos da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina aprovou o protocolo do estudo por meio do parecer número 270.900. A entrevista semi-estruturada e a observação foram as técnicas de coletas de dados utilizadas. Foram realizadas duas entrevistas por informante. A primeira entrevista foi iniciada com a questão "Como tem sido sua experiência com a tecnologia existente na UTI?", seguida de outras questões a fim de aprofundar a temática. As entrevistas foram gravadas e transcritas com auxílio de software f4 ®. Posteriormente foi feita análise temática, a qual revelou quatro temas principais: tipologia da tecnologia, sentimentos, valoração do artificial, e tecnoconhecimento. Nesta dissertação foram trabalhados dois: tipologia da tecnologia e tecnoconhecimento. Durante a observação foram observadas características do ambiente e da equipe de saúde da UTI, das tecnologias aí presentes e de como os membros da equipe lidavam com estas tecnologias. Resultados: O tema tipologia da tecnologia resultou na construção de três categorias: Categoria 1 - características físicas; Categoria 2- características funcionais; Categoria 3- manipulação e cargas de trabalho. O tema do tecnoconhecimento foi desdobrado em três categorias: Categoria 1 - forma de receber o treinamento; Categoria 2 - necessidade de treinamento e, por fim, Categoria 3 - vantagens do treinamento. A ideia de transição permeou as falas dos informantes relativas ao tema da tipologia da tecnologia, trazendo à tona diferenças temporais entre as características das tecnologias de ontem versus as de hoje. Este estudo mostrou que as principais formas de receber treinamento são a iniciativa própria e a socialização entre colegas e que o treinamento pelos fabricantes de tecnologia tem sido escasso. Os informantes também pontuaram a percepção de falta de treinamento. Outros resultados foram: a descrição de vantagens relativas ao treinamento, que a manutenção não é descrita como parte integrante do treinamento e, por fim, mencionaram erros, riscos na manipulação e dificuldade para identificar falhas como consequências negativas da falta de treinamento. Os achados contribuem para o conhecimento relativo à temática, evidenciando a necessidade de mais pesquisas. Para outros estudos, sugere-se a realização de observação do tipo sombra com os informantes, inclusão de perguntas específicas sobre outras tecnologias e observação de algum treinamento.<br> / Abstract : This is a study with qualitative methodology and phenomenological inspiration, based on readings from the philosophy of technology, in order to understand the processes by which technology is incorporated by healthcare professionals who work in the intensive care unit (ICU). In the study four people were included: a doctor, a nurse, a practical nurse and a physiotherapist, members of the health staff in the ICU of a public teaching hospital located in Florianopolis, Brazil. Informants gave verbal and written consent. Confidentiality and anonymity were assured by the use of profession name only. The Ethics Committee on Human Research of the Federal University of Santa Catarina approved the study protocol by the opinion number 270.900. The techniques of data collection used were a semi-structured interview and observation. Two interviews were conducted by informants. The first interview started with the question "How has been your experience with the existing technology in the ICU?", followed by other questions in order to deepen the theme. The interviews were recorded and transcribed with the aid of software f4 ®. Later a thematic analysis, which revealed four main themes, was taken: typology of technology, feelings, valuation of artificial and techno-knowledge. Two of them were used in this dissertation: typology of technology and techno-knowledge. During the observation, characteristics of the environment and the health staff from the ICU, the technologies presented there and how team members dealt with these technologies were observed. Results: The theme typology of technology has resulted in the construction of three categories: Category 1 - physical features; Category 2 - functional characteristics; Category 3 - Handling and workloads. The theme of techno-knowledge was split into three categories: Category 1 - way to receive training; Category 2 - need for training and, finally, Category 3 - benefits of training. The idea of transition permeated the informants' statements about the topic of the typology of technology, bringing up temporal differences between the characteristics of yesterday's technologies versus those in use today. This study showed that the main forms of receiving training for the person?s own initiative and peer socialization. It also showed that training by technology manufacturers have been scarce. Informants also noted the lack of training. Other results were: the description of advantages related to the training, equipment maintenance is not described as an integral part of training and finally they mentioned errors, risks in handling and difficulty to identify failures and negative consequences of lack of training. The findings contribute to knowledge concerning on the subject, highlighting the need for more research. For other studies, it is suggested to conduct a shadow type observation with informants, including specific questions about other technologies and watching some training.

Participaram desse estudo 67 trabalhadores de área de risco biológico. A coleta de dados ocorreu por questionários que foram distribuídos para 13 setores do HEMOSC da unidade Florianópolis, no ano de 2000. Permitiu delinear o perfil dos profissionais que relataram acidentes com material biológico no decorrer de sua vida profissional, conhecer os motivos dos acidentes, e confirmar a importância do uso de equipamento de proteção individual (EPI) nas atividades com sangue. Dos 67 trabalhadores do estudo, 82% estão representados por técnicos, auxiliares de enfermagem e 6% por técnicos de laboratório, 43% tem idade de 36 a 45 anos, 46,3% trabalham há mais de 10 anos desenvolvendo a mesma função, 55,2% tiveram acidentes no decorrer de sua vida profissional, dos tipos; por respingo com sangue, com material químico, com pérfurocortante contaminado e pérfurocortante não contaminado, apenas 31,3% registraram o acidente, o que mostra uma subnotificação dos casos. O estudo procurou saber os motivos do acidente, que foram agrupados por: responsabilidade do outro, 19,3% representando (material com defeitos, falta de cuidado de quem enviou o material, falha do equipamento, não há proteção para as agulhas, descuido do colega, o paciente se movimentou durante o procedimento), e por sua responsabilidade, 16,5% (pressa para adiantar o trabalho, falta de atenção, não usava EPI, por descuido, preocupação inexperiência, emergência em atender o pedido), 3,3% dizem que o acidente foi um acaso ou uma fatalidade, e 44,8% não responderam. 68% sabem tomar providências no momento do acidente, 87% dizem que foram informados sobre biossegurança. E quanto ao uso correto do EPI, 94% dizem fazer uso, mas só 9,0% usam protetor facial, e 35% usam óculos de proteção. A profilaxia para hepatite B, 43% fez as três doses. Há evidências de que os trabalhadores não aplicam as normas de biossegurança corretamente como orientam as normas vigentes.

Submitted in partial compliance with the requirements of the Master’s Degree in Technology: Homoeopathy, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2018. / Introduction The aim of this study was to conduct a homoeopathic proving of Carcharhinus leucas in the thirtieth centesimal potency (30CH) and to subsequently establish and describe the symptomatology in standard materia medica format and then compare this symptomatology to Galeocerdo cuvier hepar 30CH. Methodology The homoeopathic proving of Carcharhinus leucas 30CH was conducted at the Durban University of Technology and was accomplished by means of a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled trial. Carcharhinus leucas 30CH was manufactured by the researchers according to Method 6, Method 8a and 10 of the German Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia (Benyunes, 2005: 36-39). The homoeopathic proving was conducted in the form of a double blind placebo controlled study of Carcharhinus leucas 30CH with a total of 30 healthy provers. The prover sample was divided into two groups by a process of randomisation. Twenty four provers (80%) comprised the verum group and the remaining 6 provers (20%) comprised the placebo group. The identity of the proving substance and the potency used was not disclosed to provers. Provers documented their physical, mental and emotional status for one week preceding the administration of the proving remedy. A comprehensive physical examination and case history of every prover was taken before and after the proving period. Provers were instructed to ingest one powder three times a day for two days but were told to discontinue the powders once symptoms arose. The duration of the proving spanned 6 weeks and throughout the proving process, researchers were in constant communication with all the participants. Upon completion of the proving process, journals were collected and the information therein was translated into materia medica and repertory format. This was done in order to acquire the remedy picture of Carcharhinus leucas 30CH. Thereafter, the symptomatology of Carcharhinus leucas 30CH was compared to the symptomatology of Galeocerdo cuvier hepar 30CH. Results The proving of Carcharhinus leucas 30CH produced a total of 590 already existing rubrics and 43 new rubrics. The majority of these rubrics were located in the MIND (127), GENERALS (64), HEAD (55), EXTREMITIES (50), and EYE (34). In regard to the mind, prominent features were apparent such as anger, anxiety, cheerfulness, an aversion or amelioration within company, difficulty concentrating or increased focus, varying delusions and fears and irritability. Pertaining to the head, headaches were evident with varying concomitants and modalities, with headaches predominantly affecting the forehead and sides. Sensations included dryness, heat, heaviness, perspiration and shaking. The extremities displayed symptoms primarily in the forearms, legs and thighs and sensations included paralysis, shaking, swelling and weakness. In regard to the eye, eye pain with multiple modalities were apparent, with symptoms related to the canthi and eyelids. Sensations included heat, heaviness, inflammation, itching and photophobia as well as a visible discolouration of the eye. Analysis of the results presented an understanding of the similarities and differences between Carcharhinus leucas 30CH and Galeocerdo cuvier hepar 30CH. Conclusion As hypothesised, it was evident that administering Carcharhinus leucas 30CH to healthy individuals did yield observable symptomatology. Additionally, it was apparent that various correlations between Carcharhinus leucas 30CH and Galeocerdo cuvier hepar 30CH existed / M

Submitted in fulfillment of the Master’s Degree in Homoeopathy, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2016. / Introduction The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Hoodia gordonii 30CH on healthy provers, and to record the clearly observable signs and symptoms produced and the subsequent comparison to its toxicology as a raw substance and to homoeopathic remedies of reportorial similarity. Methodology The investigation was a randomised, double-blind placebo controlled trial, using the substance in the 30th potency. This was prepared according to the German Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia. A sample of 20 provers, in good health, was recruited. Sixteen received verum as the experimental group and four in the control group received a placebo. Each of the 20 provers received a journal in which they recorded symptoms on a daily basis for a period of six weeks, including a one week observation prior to taking the powders, and a period of five weeks after administration of the powders. The information from the journals and case histories was edited, collated and translated into materia medica and repertory language and used to compile a proving profile of the remedy by qualitative methods. The remedy was only revealed to the participants after completion of the proving study period. The researcher compared the similarities and new symptoms of the remedy with the existing knowledge of its toxicology to prove the first hypothesis. A detailed and extensive literature review of Hoodia gordonii’s unique characteristics was conducted. A further comparison with other similar remedies according to the highest numerical number of rubrics on repertorisation was conducted. Results The proving remedy produced a wide variety of symptoms on the mental, emotional and physical levels of which many had polarities. In broad terms the following were identified from the proving symptoms of Hoodia gordonii: • Increased confidence and feeling refreshed, renewed energy, cheerfulness, concentration, alertness, calm, forgetfulness, unhappy, sadness and depression with desire to be left alone. • Anxiety for unknown reason and for the future, about finances; restlessness and busyness. • Tiredness, fatigue and exhaustion. • Positive feeling regarding home and family. • Mental exhaustion and aversion to study. • Common sensations were throbbing, pulsating, sharp, aching, heat, pressing, heavy, pulling, splitting, cramps. • Perceived attack or danger in dreams. • Painless diarrhea and constipation, nausea, headaches, vertigo, sore red eyes, nasal congestion and sinuses, toothache, tonsillitis and dryness of throat; bronchitis, heart palpitations. • Menses with breast tenderness and increased sexual stimulation, joint pain. • Unquenchable thirst, polyuria, appetite increase and decrease, sleeplessness and sleepiness with deep sleep, cold, increase perspiration, influenza and depressed immune function. Conclusion The data obtained from this proving study of Hoodia gordonii when comparing the new symptoms of the remedy with similarities to the existing knowledge of its toxicology proved the first hypothesis to be true. Three hundred and twenty four rubrics were produced and 17 were new rubrics; of these a total of 20 rubrics that represented the essence of the remedy were selected and used in the repertorisation process. A comparison of the highest numerical value of rubrics with other similar remedies on repertorisation found Hoodia gordonii 30CH to be most similar to: Atropa belladonna, Phosphorus, Lachesis mutus, Sulphur and Veratrum album. / M

Abstract During the course of the studies outlined in this thesis, a new approach for the synthesis of the tropane alkaloid, (±)-physoperuvine has been developed using a highly efficient one-pot tandem process which involved the Overman rearrangement and a ring closing metathesis reaction. An asymmetric one-pot tandem process has also been employed for the synthesis of the natural product, (+)-physoperuvine. This methodology was also applied to the generation of a late-stage intermediate that could be used in the synthesis of carbocyclic nucleosides, such as noraristeromycin. In the second part of this thesis, an ether-directed Pd(II)-catalysed Overman rearrangement which had previously been developed by the Sutherland group was applied in conjunction with a cross-metathesis reaction for the stereoselective synthesis of the guanidine alkaloid, (+)-monanchorin in a fourteen-step synthesis. Further employment of this process provided the first synthesis of clavaminol A, C and H from (R)-glycidol in a rapid and efficient manner. In a similar fashion, (2S,3R)-enantiomers were also synthesised from (S)-glycidol. In addition to this, using similar chemistry, an intermediate protected enone was prepared using a cross-metathesis reaction as the second key step in an approach towards the synthesis of an NO-inhibitor.
