The teaching approach on communicative skills in different teaching methodologies.

Abstract: Objective: to understand, from the perspective of professors, which are the facilities and difficulties in the development of communication skills in nursing undergraduates who experiment different teaching-learning methodologies. Method: qualitative research performed with 30 nursing professors from two public education institutions. The data was collected by semi-structured individual interview with guiding questions. We used Bardin's content analysis for the data processing and analysis. Results: the development of communication skills is influenced by factors such as the experience of practical activities, students' individual characteristics, use of active methodologies, access to the mass media, relationship of proximity between student and professor, and knowledge of theoretical concepts of communication and nursing. Final considerations: there is similarity between the influential factors, however, the use of active methodologies seems to favor the development of communication skills.

Calcium-aluminate mortars at high temperatures: Overcoming adverse conversion effects using clinker aggregates

Abstract: The effect of elevated temperatures on a calcium aluminate mortar with clinker aggregates is the subject of this paper. After an exposure period of 3 h at temperatures ranging from 25 to 1000 °C, specimens were tested in residual conditions in order to evaluate changes on the mechanical and microstructural properties. A simplified hydration model based on the chemical reactions of the principal minerals is proposed to predict the evolution of matrix composition from the early-age hydration. The improvement of the mechanical properties occurring due to the conversion reactions between 25 °C and 200 °C, is attributed to an increased hydration reaction of both cement and clinker aggregate. Furthermore, when compared to the metastable reactions, an improved interlocking effect at the reactive aggregate interface, and a more dense nature of the stable hydration products, were observed. These phenomena balance the adverse effects promoted by conversion reactions on porosity and mechanical properties.

Limnologia de viveiro de criação de tilápias do Nilo: avaliação diurna visando boas práticas de manejo

Abstract: Photosynthesis and breathing processes play an important role in the metabolism of pisciculture ponds. This study was performed in a tilapia pond in order to guide the best management practices based on the diurnal evaluation (120 h period) of l imnological variables. To this end, it was determined the values of chlorophyll a , total phosphorus, total nitrogen, total ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, transparency, total alkalinity (carbon for ms), water temperature, conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, pH, underwater radiation and phytoplankton. The sampling period occurred two months after populating the pond (December 16420, 2 006), phase 1, and after six months (March 246, 2007), phase 2. At each phase, samples were taken e very 2 hours from 6 am until 8 pm for 5 days in a row (120 hours). The samples for phytoplankton quantitative analysis occurred on December 12, 2006 and March 06, 2007. The management practices promoted the enrichment of nutrients and high densities of green algae, therefore directed the dynamics of gases (O 2 and CO 2 ) through the photosynthesis process. In phase 2 there was an increase of oxidized forms of nitrogen and phosphorus. The behavior of the system between the hours of the study was repeated during the days, indicating that the scale of hours is more important in the dynamics of the system than the days to the dataset analyzed. These results demonstrate that management practices should consider the daily fluctuations of variables such as nitrite, carbon dioxide, pH, dissolved oxygen, deploying the most appropriate feeding schedules and the use of aerators, avoiding a possible fish kills

Estudo anatômico comparado de órgãos vegetativos de boldo miúdo, Plectranthus ornatus Codd. e malvariço, Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng. - Lamiaceae

Abstract: An anatomical study of the vegetative organs of Plectranthus ornatus, "boldo miudo" and Plectranthus amboinicus, "malvarico" was made. Both show non-glandular trichomes on the foliar leaf. In P. ornatus, there are pedunculate glandular trichomes and in P. amboinicus, sessile and pedunculate glandular trichomes. This study is justified by the popular utilization of both species as phytotherapeutic agents.
