In this work the potentiality of reductive-oxidative processes based on zero-valent iron was studied aiming the degradation of nitroaromatic compounds and the remediation of residues from the explosive industry. The reductive process was applied as a continuous treatment system, using steel-wool as zero-valent iron source. The process permitted an almost total degradation of nitrobenzene, nitrophenol, nitrotolu...
Avaliaram-se os distúrbios do sono, trabalho em turnos, sonolência excessiva diurna (SDE) e qualidade de vida (QV) de 206 caminhoneiros brasileiros e 200 portugueses. Aplicaram-se a Escala de Sonolência de Epworth, o SF-36 e o PSQI. Os portugueses dormem mais nos dias de trabalho (p<0,0001) e folga (p=0,0720); os brasileiros acordam mais cedo nos dias de trabalho (p<0,0001) e folga (p<0,0001). Em Portugal há ma...
The production and use of nitroaromatic explosives have resulted in their dissemination into the environment, where their presence in waterways and soil represents an ecological and health hazard. The hazardous characteristics of these compounds need to be carefully studied, so that the impact of their discharge on the environment can be better evaluated. This work presents the characterization of wastewater fr...
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a qualidade de vida (QV) de caminhoneiros brasileiros. MÉTODOS: O método foi exploratório-descritivo, comparativo e de corte transversal. Aplicaram-se um questionário sociodemográfico e o Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form (SF-36). A amostra foi seqüencial e os sujeitos entrevistados em postos de gasolina ou restaurantes. A população incluiu 206 caminhoneiros em atividade nas rodovias f...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the quality of sleep, shift work, alcohol and psychostimulant drug use, and the prevalence of accidents among truck drivers. METHOD: Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). Statistical analysis was conducted using the Student t, chi-square, Pearson and Fisher tests. RESULTS: 43.2% of the drive...
The difficuities in assessing the Central Nervous System (CNS) in the course of Systemic Nervous System (SLE) are weli known. A battery of Neurophysiological tests, including EEG and Multimodal Evoked Potencials was used in order to evaluate CNS disfuntion. Two SLE populations were studied (one with previous neurological symptoms (N = 10) and another without any of the these symptoms (N = 10) and compared with ...
Eight patients with tension headache were treated with biofeedback of frontalis E.M.G., four in a true and four in a false condition. Results showed that true biofeedback is more effective than false in lawering frontalis muscle tenson; however, both conditions reduced headache indexes which shows the lack of relationship between muscle tension and clinical simptoms. Other implications are discussed.
