This thesis reports on and analyses the first fifty years, 1887-1937, of the Sisters of Saint Joseph’s ministry in Tasmania. The design of the study is qualitative in nature, employing ethnographic techniques with a thematic approach to the narrative. Through a multifaceted approach the main figures of the Josephite story of the first fifty years are examined. The thesis attempts to redress the imbalance of the representation of women in Australian history and the Catholic Church in particular. The thesis is that as a uniquely Australian congregation the Tasmanian Sisters of St Joseph were focused on the preservation of the original spirit and tradition articulated at their foundation rather than on the development of a unique Tasmanian identity. The thesis argues that it was the formative period that impacted on their future development and the emerging myths contributed to their search for identity. Isolated from their foundations through separation and misunderstanding, they sought security and authenticity through their conservation of the original Rule. The intervention of cofounder Father Tenison Woods in the early months of their foundation served to consolidate a distinctive loyalty to him to the exclusion of Mary MacKillop. Coupled with the influence of Woods were the Irish and intercolonial influences of significant Sisters from other foundations which militated against the emergence of a distinctive Tasmanian leadership. As a Diocesan Congregation the Tasmanian Josephites achieved status as authentic religious within Tasmania and yet were constrained by their Diocesan character. The study identifies the factors that contributed to their development as a teaching Congregation through the impact of the Teacher and Schools’ Registration Act 1906, influence of government regulations on the Woods-MacKillop style of education, and the commitment of the Church to provide Catholic education in the remote areas of Tasmania. The thesis identifies two major formative periods as occurring at the instigation of Archbishops Delany and Simonds at both the foundation and then more significantly after the consolidation phase at the end of the period under examination.

On August 17, 1961, Pope John XXIII appealed to religious communities in the United States to send ten-percent of their personnel to assist the Church in Latin America. Thousands answered his call. This unprecedented effort drew four members of the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon to the village of Tamshiyacu in the jungles of Peru from 1966 to 1973.
The purpose of this thesis ls to examine the experience of the sisters within the context of the total missionary effort and the religious changes affecting the Catholic Church in the United States and Latin America during the 1960/s.

Full textAbstract:
Sociology<br>Ph.D.<br>Since the Vatican’s widely-publicized criticism of American Catholic nuns in 2012, religious sisters have risen into the public consciousness. For decades, thousands of religious sisters in the United States have served within a rigid patriarchal Church that does not always recognize their contributions, yet relies on them to carry out its ministries. Through an emphasis on their missions of service to the poor and work for social justice, religious sisters emerged from this contentious situation with Rome as intelligent and dedicated women who lead dynamic lives that often go unnoticed. Through a case study of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Philadelphia, I analyze individual sisters’ lived experiences. In this research, I seek to understand the congregation’s institutional culture to uncover how religious sisters develop strategies to live out their mission of service to the poor and marginalized, and how they continue to advocate for social and structural change in the Catholic Church and in secular society. Specifically, I conducted interviews with 23 Sisters of St. Joseph and analyzed archived writings, letters, and congregational documents dating back to the late 1960s. I submit that over the past 50 years since the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II), the Sisters of St. Joseph actively embraced gender consciousness and social justice as a means of empowerment toward social change, despite the institutional pressures within the Church and society that discourage this. I argue that the progressive spirit and commitment to social justice indicative of a feminist orientation created a dissonance between religious sisters and Church leadership, while simultaneously increasing their integration into secular society. Ultimately, I contend that their congregational mission of unity and reconciliation, their status as sisters in a religious community, and privilege as educated women allows the Sisters of St. Joseph to be courageous risk-takers in advancing social and structural change in both the Catholic Church and the world. In addition to the 23 semi-structured interviews, I used qualitative content analysis to explore the congregation’s primary archival documents, especially those published from the periodic general chapters just after Vatican II through the most recent chapter in summer 2014. These chapter meetings are called roughly every five years, during which time the Sisters of St. Joseph elect congregational leadership and articulate the community’s organizational vision and direction. At each chapter’s conclusion, the congregation publishes a document(s) that informs its mission and work for the next several years. In addition to these public documents, I was granted access to the Sisters of St. Joseph congregational archives, where I analyzed notes, letters, minutes, voting records, proposals and enactments, and personal recollections of the general chapter meetings. In total, I analyzed nearly 300 documents from the Sisters of St. Joseph congregational archives. In my textual analysis, I used subjective interpretation of language in the text with particular attention placed on its content and contextual meaning in order to identify themes or patterns. Once I identified the major themes, I grouped them into three theoretical areas, which became the empirical chapters 4, 5, and 6 of this study. Chapter 4 argues that the sisters’ move toward active social justice work and advocacy after Vatican II is evidence of lived religion for this congregation. Chapter 5 analyzes how the Sisters of St. Joseph navigate issues of gender and sexuality in the Church, in their congregation, and in society. Chapter 6 looks at how the congregation contends with race and ethnicity within their own community, but also in the lives of the people they serve in their various ministries. Finally, in chapter 7, I conclude by examining how the congregation moved toward a more democratic, corporate structure focused on long-term viability in the decades after the Second Vatican Council. Ultimately, I argue that as the congregation evolved after Vatican II, they broke through what I call a “glass cloister.” Through the renewal process, the Sisters of St. Joseph emerged from decades of restriction as sisters reborn, reclaiming their original congregational focus and eager to live out their lives in service to others. As convent rules loosened and the sisters claimed their voices within the Catholic Church structure and in secular society, the congregation defined itself as a dynamic community of women dedicated to social justice and advocacy for the poor and marginalized.<br>Temple University--Theses

Full textAbstract:
<p> This grounded theory study explored the experiences of lay faculty, administration and Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet (CSJ) to capture how the spirit of the CSJ continues in the organizational culture of their sponsored secondary schools. Since 1950, CSJ in the Los Angeles Province, have experienced a very similar decline as other orders of religious across the United States. In order to preserve the culture and history of the CSJ in their sponsored secondary schools, the researcher conducted twenty semi-structured interviews to capture the lived experiences of those currently serving, and those who have served, on the four secondary school campuses.</p><p> Utilizing the literature on preserving organizational culture from Edgar Schien, and Lee Bolman and Terrance Deal, the research seemed to conclude that this charism has been preserved even through transitions to lay leadership. A series of seven distinct themes emerged indicating that a CSJ school: consistently incorporates the gospel values into all aspects of the school community; seeks out opportunities to model service to the dear neighbor in how faculty, staff and students serve one another, and in turn impact the broader community; serves a diverse population of students and intentionally creates a culture of unity and support, and a sense of belonging, to cultivate a community of acceptance, love and sisterhood; fosters an environment of excellence through the intentional actions of teachers and leaders to be capacity builders, assisting all young women to become all of “which woman is capable”; recognizes the essential role that leadership plays in fostering a gospel-driven, nurturing environment, evidenced in the faculty, staff and sisters as models; is marked by a spirit of joy and fun that is tangibly felt among the students, the faculty and staff, and throughout the entire school community, and recognizes the challenges with living out the gospel values and being called to building a spirit of unity and love.</p><p> The results of the study suggest that the organizational school culture has been able to preserve the charism of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, echoing their foundational spirituality dating back to 1650 Le Puy, France. </p>

Full textAbstract:
In this qualitative study I investigated the institutional experiences of former female child migrants who were placed in the care of the Sisters of Mercy in St Joseph’s Catholic Orphanage, Subiaco, Western Australia. My study was guided by the theoretical orientations of Symbolic Interaction and Constructivism. Data were gathered through a series of individual and group interviews with the Female Child Migrants, who are now in their seventies and had spent at least three years in the orphanage between the years 1947 and 1955. Documents were also obtained from the archives of the Catholic Church, the Sisters of Mercy and the National Archives. Documents, photos and artefacts were also accessed from private collections. Significant issues to arise from the study were those of identity, opportunity and social control. These issues were broadly examined in relation to the primary and reference groups in the children’s lives with a particular focus on the role the Sisters of Mercy had in the children’s welfare. A limitation of the research is that some records pertaining to the orphanage during this period have been lost or destroyed and the passing of sixty years since the Female Child Migrants lived at the orphanage has meant that some events and practices may have been forgotten, overlooked or reframed by respondents. One of the most important findings was that the Orphanage’s institutional practices with its underpinning of religious teachings, ensured a lack of suitable social experiences and interactions. This shaped the way the participants viewed the world; which in turn impacted upon their life choices. The findings suggest that access to a wide variety of social situations is a necessary feature in a child’s socialisation and the accumulation of necessary social skills. The impact of socialisation on educational outcomes of the children in institutions such as orphanages was evident in the data. This investigation goes some way to filling the gap in the knowledge of the experiences of female child migrants who were sent here under the British Child Migration Scheme and it shines a light on a very small part of Western Australia’s social history.

Considerando a complexidade do gerenciamento de um paciente e sua importância humana e econômica, sistemas que possam auxiliar este trabalho podem ajudar esses profissionais a realizar seu trabalho de uma forma mais eficiente e econômica. Nós desenvolvemos um formalismo, chamado ST-guide, que permite construir sistemas baseados em conhecimento para ajudar os profissionais de saúde no gerenciamento de pacientes com doenças crônicas ou de longa duração. Este formalismo leva em consideração as características próprias do gerenciamento dessas doenças e sua maior vantagem é que essas características podem ser traduzidos diretamente nas primitivas fornecidas por ST-guide. Dessa forma, ST-guide permite uma abordagem mais intuitiva tanto para os encarregados de representar o conhecimento referente ao gerenciamento de uma doença quanto para os usuários do sistema associado<br>Abstract: The management of a patient with a chronic or long term disease is a process that involves gathering and interpreting a great amount of data along the treatment time, taking decisions based on these interpretations and on the available knowledge, applying diagnosis and therapeutics plans periodically and revising these plans when necessary.

Estes Sistemas caracterizados pelo monocultivo e Sistemas Agroflorestais de erva-mate com Araucária produzem diferentes condições microclimáticas que também atuam sobre o comportamento da erva-mate. Em cada Sistema de cultivo foi feito o monitoramento da radiação fotossinteticamente ativa, temperatura do ar e umidade relativa do ar, nos períodos de maturação e frutificação, em duas estações do ano ( inverno e verão). Através das medidas de radiação solar estabeleceu-se os diferentes níveis de luz recebidos pelas plantas de erva-mate sombreadas pela Floresta de Araucária, constituindo-se assim os tratamentos de luz: Tratamento 1: (22%); Tratamento 2: (39%); Tratamento 3: (62%); Tratamento 4: (78%); Tratamento 5: (91%) e Tratamento 6: (pleno sol). As variáveis avaliadas foram área foliar, concentração de fenóis e antocianinas e fitomassa úmida. A análise dos resultados levou as seguintes conclusões: o microclima influencia no crescimento e composição química da erva-mate, independente do período fenológico, a radiação solar é o parâmetro que exerce maior influência na alteração da área foliar e fitomassa da erva-mate, muito embora a temperatura máxima tenha mostrado um efeito importante na composição química das plantas de erva-mate. A temperatura máxima está influenciando diretamente na concentração de fenóis, pois quanto maior a temperatura máxima, maior a concentração de fenóis. Se os fenóis medidos neste experimento de fato contribuem para o sabor adstringente, se explica a preferência por uma erva-mate mais suave do Sistema Agroflorestal. O Sistema Agroflorestal parece ser o Sistema de cultivo mais recomendado para a erva-mate.

Previous issue date: 2014-08-29<br>The exploration of erva-mate (Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil.), causes the export of considerable amounts of nutrients, once there are periodic removal of leaves and
small branches for commercialization. The adoption of agroforestry systems (AFS´s)for the production of erva-mate assists in maintaining soil quality, due to the intense
supply of litterfall. This study aimed to quantify the deposition of litterfall and nutrients coming from it, and the main attributes of soil fertility in AFS's erva-mate, it discriminating which soil attributes and nutrients via litter deposition allow to differentiate the AFS's erva-mate, and seeking relationships between soil chemical attributes and nutrients deposited. They were studied six AFS's production of ervamate in three different soil types, in the municipalities of São Mateus do Sul, Bituruna and Cruz Machado, in the South Central region of the State of Paraná. The canonical discriminant analysis (CDA) was applied to variables: soil attributes (pH, H+Al, Al,Ca, Mg, K, CT, P, S, Mn, Cu e Zn), for soil layers 0-5, 5-10, 10-20 e 20-40 cm; and variables annual deposition of the N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Cu, Mn e Zn. The study of the
relationship between the supply of nutrients via litter deposition, and the levels of these nutrients in the soil were performed by canonical correlation analysis (CCA).
The deposition of litterfall ranged from 7132 to 9402 kg ha-1 yr-1, and it was demonstrated an important source of nutrients, especially the deposition of N, K, Ca,
and Mn. The CDA has pointed the contents of Cu and Al in the soil as responsible for discrimination of the sites. There is a close relationship between the deposition of Ca,
Mg, Cu, Zn and Mn and the contents of these elements in the soils under AFS´s ervamate.<br>A exploração de erva-mate (Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil.), provoca a exportação de quantidades consideráveis de nutrientes, uma vez que há retirada periódica das

A análise canônica discriminante (ACD) foi aplicada às variáveis atributos de solo, pH, H+Al, Al, Ca, Mg, K, CT, P, S, Mn, Cu e Zn, para as camadas de solo de 0-5, 5-10, 10-20 e 20-40 cm; e para as variáveis aporte anual de N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Cu, Mn e Zn. O estudo da relação entre o aporte de nutrientes via deposição da serapilheira, e os teores destes nutrientes no solo foi realizado mediante análise de correlação canônica (ACC). O aporte de serapilheira variou de 7132 a 9402 kg ha-1 ano-1, e demonstrou-se importante fonte de nutrientes,
destacando-se o aporte N, Ca e K, e Mn. A ACD apontou teores de Cu e Al no solo como as variáveis responsáveis pela discriminação dos SAF´s. Existe estreita relação entre o aporte de Ca, Mg, Cu, Mn e Zn e os teores destes elementos nos solos sob SAF´s de erva-mate.

Previous issue date: 2015<br>A Erva-mate é o principal Produto Florestal Não Madeireiro comercializado no Brasil. A espécie tem ocorrência endêmica na América do Sul, com 80 % da sua área de ocorrência concentrada no Brasil. A principal forma de obtenção da matéria-prima no Brasil é por extrativismo em ervais nativos. Estudos sobre as formas de manejo dos ervais e suas consequências na conservação das populações da espécie e das paisagens com manejo da espécie ainda são escassos. O presente estudo visa esclarecer alguns pontos destes, como caracterizar as práticas de manejo dos ervais nativos nos fragmentos florestais; estudar as paisagens, sua estrutura florestal; caracterizar aspectos da fenologia da espécie nos diferentes sistemas de manejo; avaliar aspectos da morfologia e caracterizar a diversidade genética destas populações. Para tanto, o estudo foi desenvolvido na região do Planalto Norte Catarinense (PNC), principal região produtora de erva-mate nativa do estado, tendo uma relação cultural direta com as paisagens e as pessoas que nela residem e manejam a erva. Além disso, as variadas formas de obtenção de erva-mate nos fragmentos de floresta nativa (Floresta Ombrófila Mista) permitem um estudo amplo sobre vários aspectos. Para caracterizar quem são as pessoas que manejam a erva-mate, e como o fazem, foram realizadas 93 entrevistas semi-estruturadas com questões sobre o histórico de uso das áreas e os sistemas e práticas de manejo. De acordo com as práticas de manejo encontradas, foram implantadas 33 parcelas de 40 m x 40 m para analisar como elas estão estruturando as paisagens. Durante os anos de 2011 a 2014 foram acompanhadas as fases fenológicas de 220 plantas destas áreas de manejo. Estes acompanhamentos permitiram entender como a erva-mate manejada se comporta, e analisar se as plantas, mesmo sob manejo, podem apresentar o seu ciclo completo. Para comparação, também foram realizados estudos sobre biologia reprodutiva e estudos de ecologia da polinização e dispersão em áreas sem manejo (na Floresta Nacional de Três Barras), permitindo compreender como as populações de erva-mate podem se manter ao longo do tempo. Nas mesmas unidades de paisagem, foram coletadas amostras foliares para caracterização genética utilizando eletroforese de isoenzimas. Os resultados encontrados remetem basicamente em duas maneiras de manejar a erva-mate. A primeira forma de manejar a erva-mate reúne pessoas que utilizam práticas de manejos tradicionais na sua paisagem, que é usada somente para retirada de erva-mate. Nestas áreas não existe a presença de criação bovina e a mão de obra utilizada é principalmente mão de obra familiar, com podas a partir de 3 a 4 anos. A segunda forma de manejar reúne pessoas que utilizam suas áreas para mais de um uso, onde a criação bovina é uma constante na paisagem. A mão de obra utilizada é empresarial, com a frequência de poda a cada 2 anos. Foi observado que as paisagens das áreas mais manejadas possuem uma menor quantidade de plantas em geral e de erva-mate, e pouca regeneração de erva-mate, enquanto as áreas menos manejadas mostraram uma grande quantidade de plantas, tanto geral como de erva-mate, assim como apresentaram alta regeneração de erva-mate no seu sub bosque. O acompanhamento fenológico mostrou que, apesar de existir alta regeneração nas áreas menos manejadas, as plantas de erva-mate nestas paisagens não apresentaram potencial de manutenção da população, já que poucas plantas frutificaram e com baixa intensidade. Por outro lado, nas áreas mais manejadas, mesmo com pouca regeneração, as plantas de erva-mate apresentaram abundante produção de frutos.A diversidade morfológica encontrada para as plantas de erva-mate foi maior nas áreas mais manejadas, indicando que a ação antrópica favorece a diversidade morfológica. O conjunto de dados levantados neste trabalho indica que estes agricultores possuem um sistema particular de manejo com paisagens domesticadas. Tal situação possui elementos que, além de reforçarem a ideia da erva-mate como uma espécie chave cultural, permitem classificar as paisagens com ervais sob manejo como paisagens culturais. Os estudos com marcadores isoenzimáticos mostraram que as populações de erva-mate no PNC possuem altos índices de diversidade genética, com pouca divergência entre elas. As populações manejadas em diferentes paisagens na região do PNC fazem parte de um mosaico de práticas de manejos e estrutura florestal que, no conjunto, podem manter-se interconectadas principalmente pelo fluxo de sementes, mediado pelas aves, entre diferentes populações/unidades de paisagem. Assim, os sistemas e práticas de manejo realizados pelos agricultores extrativistas mantêm as paisagens com fragmentos florestais produtivos, favorecendo a conservação pelo uso das mesmas e das populações de erva-mate.<br><br>Abstract : The yerba-mate is the main non-timber forest product commercialized in Brazil. The species is endemic from South America, with 80% of its occurrence area concentrated in Brazil. The main mean of acquisition of the product in Brazil is by extractivism in native herbal. Studies regarding management ways of herbal and their consequences on the conservation of the species population and their landscapes with management of the species are still scarce. The present study seeks to elucidate some of those points, such as to characterize the management practices of the native herbal in the forest fragments; to study the landscapes and their forest structure; to characterize the species phenological aspects in the different managements systems; to evaluate morphological aspects and to characterize the genetic diversity from those populations. Therefore, we developed a study in Santa Catarina North Plateau (SCNP), the main native yerba-mate manufacturer region from the state, having a direct culture relation with the landscapes and the people that manage yerba-mate residing in it. Moreover, the various acquisition ways of the yerba-mate in the native forest fragments (Mixed Ombrophilous Forest) allow a broad study about various aspects. To characterize who are the people that handle yerba-mate and how they do it, we performed 93 semi-structured interviews, with questions about historical use from the areas and the management systems and practices. According to the management practices found, we implemented 33 plots of 40 m x 40 m to analyze how the management practices are shaping the landscapes. During the years 2011-2014, we monitored the phenological phases from 220 plants from those management areas.Those monitoring allow to understand how the managed yerba-mate behaves, and to analyze if the plants, even under management, could complete their entire cycle. For comparisons, reproductive biology and ecological pollination and dispersion studies were also performed in areas without management (in Três Barras National Forest), allowing to understand how yerba-mate populations could remain over time.In the same landscape units, we collected foliar samples for genetic characterization using isozimes electrophoresis. The results found show two ways of handling/managing yerba-mate. People that use traditional management practices on their landscape, which is used exclusive for yerba-mate extraction, characterize the first way of handling/managing yerba-mate. In those areas, there are no cattle and the main labor comes from familiar work, with extractions from 3 to 4 years. People that use their area for more than one use, where cattle is persistent in the landscape, characterizes the second way of handling/managing yerba-mate.The labor used is corporate, with extractions frequency each every 2 years. The landscapes from the areas managed more intensely had fewer plants, in general as for yerba-mate, and little yerba-mate regeneration.Meanwhile less intensely managed areas showed a large quantity of plants, in general as for yerba-mate, as well as they show a high yerba-mate regeneration in their understory. The phenological monitoring showed that, besides the existence of high regeneration in the less managed areas, the yerba-mate plants on those landscapes did not showed population upkeep/maintaining potential, since only few plants fruit and with low intensity. On the other hand, on the most managed areas, even with little regeneration, the yerba-mate plants showed a high fruit production.The morphological diversity found for the yerba-mate plants were higher in the more intensely managed areas, indicating that the anthropic action favors the morphological diversity. The data set gathered in this study indicates that those farmers have a particular management system with domesticated landscapes. Such situation has elements that, besides reinforcing the idea of yerba-mate as a cultural key species, allow classifying the landscapes with herbal under management as cultural landscapes. The studies with isozyme markers showed that the yerba-mate populations in SCNP had high genetic diversity index, with low genetic divergence between them. The managed population in different landscapes in the SCNP region are part of a mosaic of management practices and forest structure, that can keep interconnected themselves, mainly by seed flow, realized by the birds, between different population/landscape units.Thus, the management systems and practices conducted by the extractivist farmers keep the landscape with forest fragments productive, favoring the conservation by the use of them and yerba-mate populations.

Previous issue date: 2008<br>Resumo: Um guia de conduta médica é um documento formado por um conjunto de recomendações sistematicamente desenvolvidas para auxiliar nas decisões de praticantes e pacientes sobre cuidados de saúde em circunstâncias específicas. Desde que sejam bem elaborados, comprovadamente melhoram a qualidade média do atendimento médico. Frequentemente médicos não estão acostumados com guias práticos escritos em papel e não os aplicam adequadamente. Implementados em sistemas computacionais podem melhorar significativamente a qualidade do atendimento médico diretamente no local da assistência. Este trabalho está ligado ao projeto ST-Guide, uma iniciativa surgida no Instituto de Computação da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (IC-UNICAMP) para resolver o problema de formalização e implementação de guias clínicos práticos. As contribuições realizadas foram: (a) reestruturação do projeto em outras tecnologias; (b) estabelecimento e implementação de uma arquitetura extensível para suportar modelagem e implementação de guias; (c) realização de alterações conceituais para facilitar o processo de modelagem; (d) criação de novo algoritmo para verificação lógica de incompletude e ambiguidade; e (e) criação de um ambiente gráfico de desenvolvimento de guias associado a um verificador lógico que atua em tempo real, isto é, à medida em que ocorre a modelagem. Experimentos baseados em guias clínicos para assistência pré-natal e hipertensão são apresentados e o texto é concluído com uma discussão do que foi realizado e sugestão de trabalhos futuros.<br>Abstract: Clinical guidelines are systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances. Since well elaborated, they provenly improve medical assistance quality. Oftenly clinicians aren't used to paper written guidelines and don't apply them adequately.

Fundamentos: Estatinas têm benefício clínico comprovado em pacientes após um infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM). Durante a fase aguda do IAM, no entanto, o benefício é incerto. O efeito sobre o sistema nervoso autônomo (SNA) é um possível mecanismo de benefício das estatinas. Este efeito nunca foi estudado na fase aguda do IAM.
Objetivos: Avaliar o impacto do tratamento com estatinas e efeito dose-resposta no balanço autonômico, estimado por meio da variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC), na fase aguda do IAM. Casuística e métodos: 111 pacientes foram arrolados. A VFC foi registrada pós-IAM nas primeiras 24 horas do evento e após 3 e 5 dias. Os pacientes foram agrupados por dose de sinvastatina (20, 40 ou 80 mg) e um grupo controle que não recebeu estatina. Resultados: O componente HF em unidades normalizadas foi igual entre os grupos controle, 20, 40 e 80 no 1o dia [36,5 (23,275 – 51,700); 34,05 (28,45 – 37,275); 33 (15,525 – 55,500); 35,65 (23,775 – 39,225); p = 0,763)], porém significativamente maior nos grupos em uso de estatina no 3o e 5o dia {[33,6 (27,7 – 51,7); 36,35 (30,125 – 37,825); 37,7 (21,7 – 51,275); 41,25 (39,175 – 49,925); p < 0,001] e [35,6 (27,63 – 47,75); 39,5 (37,30 – 41,80); 41,4 (25,38 – 55,38); 51,35 (45,75 – 71,25); p = 0,002]}. Consistentemente, o componente LF diminuiu com a dose de estatina, assim como a razão LF/HF.
Conclusões: As estatinas atenuaram a atividade simpática mensurada pela VFC durante a fase aguda do IAM. O efeito foi dose dependente e precocemente observado. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT<br>Effect of Statins in the Heart Rate Variability in the course of Acute phase of ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Ischemia
Background: Use of statins after a Myocardial Infarction (MI) has recognized clinical benefit. During the acute phase of MI, however, the clinical benefit is uncertain. The effect upon the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a possible mechanism pathway for statins' clinical benefit. This effect has never been studied in the acute phase of MI. Objectives: Study the impact and dose response effect in the acute phase of MI of statin treatment in the ANS, measured inderectly by heart rate variability (HRV). Methods: 111 patients with STEMI were included. HRV was measured inthe first 24 hours after MI, and again 3 and 5 days later. Patients were grouped by simvastatin dose (20, 40 or 80 mg) and one group did not receive statin treatment.
Results: HF component in normalized units was not significantly different between the control and the simvastatin doses (20, 40 and 80 mg) groups in the first day after STEMI [36,5 (23,275 – 51,7) ; 34,05 (28,45 – 37,275); 33 (15,525 – 55,5) ; 35,65 (23,775 – 39,225); p = 0,763)]. Nevertheless, it was significantly greater with statin treatment in the third and fifth days after STEMI {[33,6 (27,7 – 51,7) ; 36,35 ( 30,125 – 37,825 ) ; 37,7 (21,7 – 51,275) ; 41,25 (39,175 – 49,925); p < 0,001] e [35,6 (27,63 – 47,75) ; 39,5 (37,30 – 41,80) ; 41,4 (25,38 – 55,38) ; 51,35 (45,75 – 71,25) ; p = 0,002]}. Accordingly, LF component and LF/HF ratio were inversely correlated with the simvastatin dose.
Conclusions: Statins attenuated the sympathetic activity measured by HRV at the acute phase of STEMI. The effect was dose dependent and precociously observed.

Full textAbstract:
Con questo progetto sono state affrontate alcune delle principali criticità nella gestione dei dispositivi medici in contesti con risorse scarse, attraverso l’implementazione pratica di un sistema di Health Technology Management (HTM).
In Paesi poveri di risorse, come l’Etiopia, il management della tecnologia sanitaria è spesso assente, provocando continui stati di emergenza, dovuti all’indisponibilità di numerosi e indispensabili dispositivi medici. Prendendo la manutenzione come esempio (voce importantissima nell’ambito dell'HTM), la non implementazione di piani di manutenzione preventiva porta ad una precoce rottura di un qualsiasi dispositivo medico; ad esempio, la vita utile di un’autoclave generica è di 12 anni ma, senza un corretto piano manutentivo, diventa obsoleta dopo soli 7 anni, con una conseguente perdita di 5 anni di attività potenziale; tradotto in termini economici, ciò equivale ad una perdita di circa 4900 €, risorse che potrebbero essere impiegate per salvare la vita ad un maggior numero di persone attraverso, ad esempio, l’acquisto di un numero superiore di vaccini, farmaci o attraverso l’assunzione di nuovo personale. Non è difficile immaginare quanto il fronte economico, in contesti con poche risorse, sia determinante; in alcuni casi, infatti, delle vite potenziali non possono esser salvate, perché richiederebbero uno sforzo economico troppo alto. Da qui l’importanza di introdurre un sistema di HTM all’interno di una struttura ospedaliera, come quella del St. Luke Hospital, perché attraverso la sua corretta implementazione è possibile massimizzare l’impatto clinico della tecnologia presente e ottimizzare l’utilizzo delle risorse finanziarie disponibili.

Tesis por compendio de publicaciones<br>El síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del segmento ST (SCASEST) es una condición inestable que predispone a recurrencias isquémicas. El tratamiento antitrombótico y la revascularización pretenden reducir tales complicaciones pero conllevan un incremento del riesgo de sangrado. Por tanto, la estratificación del riesgo isquémico y hemorrágico es fundamental. Nuestro objetivo fue valorar si los biomarcadores inflamatorios (interleucina-6 y proteína C reactiva) y los parámetros de función renal (β-traza proteína y cistatina C) son útiles en este proceso. Nuestros pacientes con SCASEST fueron seguidos al menos durante 12 meses. Mostramos que los niveles seriados elevados de interleucina-6 incrementaban el riesgo de muerte, infarto de miocardio e insuficiencia cardiaca. Además, los niveles basales elevados de los biomarcadores renales se asociaron con un mayor riesgo de muerte y hemorragias mayores a largo plazo. En conclusión, el uso de interleucina-6, β-traza proteína y cistatina C mejora la estratificación pronóstica de nuestros pacientes con SCASEST.<br>Non ST-segment acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) is an unstable coronary condition prone to ischemic recurrences in the long-term. Antithrombotic pharmacological treatments as well as various strategies for coronary revascularization are directed to reduce such complications but increase the risk of hemorrhagic complications. Thus, ischemic and hemorrhagic risk stratification is essential. Our aim was to asses if inflammatory biomarkers (Interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein) and novel renal function parameters (β-trace protein and Cystatin C) are useful in this process. Our cohort of NSTE-ACS patients was followed up for at least 12 months. We found that high serial interleukin-6 levels were associated with a greater risk of death, myocardial infarction and acute heart failure. Furthermore, high basal levels of β-trace protein and Cystatin C were associated with a greater risk of death and major bleeding in the long-term. In conclusion, interleukin-6, β-trace protein and Cystatin C levels improve prognostic stratification of NSTE-ACS patients.

Previous issue date: 2016<br>Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil. (mate) é uma planta nativa da região subtropical da América do Sul, sendo amplamente consumida, através da infusão das folhas. É uma planta rica em diferentes compostos biologicamente ativos, como os fenólicos, com destaque para o ácido clorogênico (ACG), que possui atividade antioxidante, mas pode sofrer degradação. Com a intenção de aumentar a estabilidade desse composto, nanopartículas poliméricas contendo extrato de suas folhas foram desenvolvidas pela técnica de dupla emulsão seguida de evaporação do solvente, para administração tópica, visando atividade antioxidante. Nanopartículas podem aumentar a retenção de compostos ativos na camada superficial da pele, atuando como um reservatório e prolongando a liberação. Um estudo de extração foi realizado, por turbo-extração, sendo estabelecidas as condições ótimas como 10% de material vegetal (m/v), etanol 20% (v/v), 5 min e 13500 rpm. O potencial antioxidante desse extrato foi avaliado, utilizando o radical livre DPPH, mostrando um valor de IC50 satisfatório (51,70 µg/ml) quando comparado com o padrão de ácido gálico (11,83 µg/ml). Um estudo de formulação indicou como promissora formulações preparadas com polímero policaprolactona (PCL) (50 e 100 mg), poloxamer 188 (PLU) 1% como tensoativo, 200 µl de fase interna da primeira emulsão, que apresentaram tamanho de partícula de 134 a 194 nm, índice de polidispersão (PDI) de 0,076 a 0,113 e potencial zeta de -18,0 a -15,6 mV. Um segundo estudo de formulação demonstrou que formulações contendo 30 mg de extrato e 196 ml de volume na fase dispersante apresentaram, em relação ao ACG, uma eficiência de encapsulação (EE) de 38,4 e 41,0% e teor de 18,7 e 10,9%, para 50 ou 100 mg de PCL, respectivamente. A formulação contendo 100 mg de PCL apresentou melhor estabilidade ao final de 60 dias, sendo esta a escolhida para dar continuidade aos experimentos. Esta formulação apresentou uma liberação inicial in vitro de 75 % em tampão fosfato pH 5,5 mantendo-se constante até o final do experimento. O extrato livre permeou até a derme, enquanto que as nanopartículas ficaram retidas na epiderme, em estudo realizado em câmara de difusão de Franz utilizando pele de orelha de porco. As nanopartículas protegeram o extrato de degradação frente a homogeneizado de pele suína, que induziu a degradação do extrato livre, provavelmente por degradação enzimática.<br><br>Abstract : Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil. (mate) is a native plant of southern Latin American countries, being widely consumed as an herbal tea beverage made from leaf infusion. This herb is rich in many bioactive components, such as phenolic, especially chlorogenic acid (CGA), which has antioxidant activity, but this compound may suffer degradation. With the intent to increase the stability of this compound, polymeric nanoparticle delivery system was developed, by double emulsion solvent evaporation technique, for topical administration, targeting the antioxidant action of mate extract. Besides, nanoparticles could enhance the retention of compounds in superficial layers of the skin, acting as a reservoir for sustained release. Therefore, a study of the optimum conditions for extraction was performed, using shear extraction, where 10% of plant material (w/v), ethanol 20% (v/v), 5 min and 13500 rpm were selected. The antioxidant potential of this extract was evaluated using the DPPH free radical, pointing satisfactory IC50 value (51.70 µg/ml) when compared to the standards of gallic acid (11.83 µg/ml). A pre-formulation study was performed and showed satisfactory composition as polycaprolactone (PCL) polymer (50 to 100 mg), poloxamer 188 (PLU) 1% as surfactant, 200 µl of internal phase of the first emulsion, with a particle size of 134 to 194 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.076 to 0.113 and zeta potential of -18.0 to -15.6 mV. Different parameters were evaluated, in relation to CGA, for entrapment efficiency (EE) and loading. The standardized formulations contains 30 mg of extract, 196 ml volume in the dispersing phase and 50 or 100 mg of PCL, with EE of 38.4 and 41.0% and loading of 18.7 and 10.9%, respectively. Subsequently, stability study showed that formulation with 100 mg of PCL has good stability in 60 days of the experiment. This formulation provided an initial in vitro release of 75%, in phosphate buffer pH 5.5, throughout the assay. The free extract permeated into the dermis, while the nanoparticles were retained in the epidermis, in a study performed in Franz diffusion chamber using pig ear skin. Nanoparticles protected the extract front degradation in pigskin homogenized, which induced degradation of free extract, probably by enzymatic degradation.

Considering its popular use and the lack of information about its toxicity, this study aimed to establish the acute oral toxicity of the ethanolic extract of the roots of K. tomentosa (EEKt) and its hexane fraction (FHEEKt) in Wistar rats, and to study the toxic potential on the male and female reproductive system and vital organs and their offspring. For the investigation of the acute oral toxicity, 30 females rats were divided into control (distilled water and Tween 80 2%) and treated groups that received the extract and hexane fraction at dose levels of 300 or 2000 mg/kg (n=3). Each dose was tested twice for subsequent estimation of LD50 (OECD-423/2001). The following parameters were analyzed: body weight, water and food intake, Hippocratic screening and behavior. For assessment of reproductive toxicity, female and male Wistar rats were divided into four groups of 12 animals each: three groups treated orally and once daily with EEKt at doses of 125, 500 or 2000 mg/kg, and one control group. For evaluation of the toxic potential of EEKt on the male reproductive system, rats were treated for 52 days (period corresponding to one spermatogenic cycle). On the female reproductive system, female rats were treated from the 1st to the 7th day of pregnancy (pre-implantation), and from the 8th day of pregnancy (post-implantation) until the end of lactation. The animals were evaluated for the occurrence of general signs of toxicity, consumption of water and food, biochemical, hormonal and hematologic analyses, body weight, weight of vital and reproductive organs, and reproductive indexes. In males, sperm production and morphology were also analyzed. The offspring were evaluated for overall development, reflexology and behavioral development. The results obtained in the evaluation of acute oral toxicity showed low toxicity of EEKt and FHEEKt as evidenced by the absence of mortality or morbidity in the experimental groups. In the reproductive toxicity studies, the body weight of males was reduced by EEKt at doses of 125, 500 and 2000 mg/kg. In the females, exposure to EEKt during preimplantation reduced water and food consumption and increased the pre-implantation loss index at the dose of 2000 mg/kg. During post-implantation and lactation, maternal deaths, increased post-implantation loss index and decreased weaning index at doses of 500 and 2000 mg/kg extract were observed. The offspring exhibited late development of adult reflexes and negative geotaxis. The results indicate a low toxicity profile after the single dose treatment with EEKt or FHEEKt but suggest possible systemic toxic effects, and reproductive toxicity in male and female Wistar rats after exposure to EEKt during critical stages of the reproductive process.<br>Krameria tomentosa (carrapicho de cavalo ou ratainha-da-terra) é um arbusto utilizado na medicina popular por sua ação adstringente. Considerando-se o uso popular e a escassez de informações sobre sua toxicidade, esse trabalho teve a finalidade de estabelecer a toxicidade oral aguda do extrato etanólico das raízes de K. tomentosa (EEKt) e da sua fração hexânica (FHEEKt) em ratas Wistar, bem como estudar o seu potencial tóxico sobre o sistema reprodutor masculino e feminino e órgãos vitais de ratos e suas proles. Para a investigação da toxicidade oral aguda, 30 ratas foram distribuídas nos grupos controles (água destilada e Tween 80 2%) e tratados nas doses de 300 ou 2000 mg/kg do extrato e da fração hexânica (n=3), em dose única. Cada dose foi testada duas vezes, para posterior estimativa da DL50 (OECD-423/2001). Avaliou-se o peso corporal, consumo de água e ração, screening hipocrático e o comportamento. Na avaliação da toxicidade reprodutiva, ratos e ratas Wistar foram divididos em quatro grupos de 12 animais cada, sendo 3 tratados com o EEKt nas doses de 125, 500 ou 2000 mg/kg, e um controle, que recebeu água destilada, por via oral, uma vez ao dia. A avaliação do potencial tóxico do EEKt sobre o sistema reprodutor masculino foi realizada após o tratamento dos ratos durante 52 dias consecutivos (período correspondente a um ciclo espermatogênico). Para a avaliação do efeito do extrato na pré-implantação, as ratas foram tratadas do 1º ao 7º dia de prenhez, enquanto na avaliação da pós-implantação, as ratas foram expostas ao EEKt a partir do 8º dia de prenhez até o término da lactação. Os animais foram avaliados quanto à ocorrência de sinais gerais de toxicidade, consumo de água e ração, análises bioquímica, hormonal e hematológica, peso corporal, de órgãos vitais e reprodutores, e índices reprodutivos. Nos machos, avaliou-se também a produção e morfologia espermática. As proles foram avaliadas quanto ao desenvolvimento geral, reflexológico e comportamental. Os resultados obtidos na avaliação da toxicidade oral aguda mostraram que o EEKt e a FHEEKt apresentaram baixa toxicidade, evidenciada pela ausência de mortalidade ou morbidade nos grupos experimentais. Nos ensaios de toxicidade reprodutiva, o peso corporal de machos foi reduzido pelo EEKt nas doses de 125, 500 e 2000 mg/kg. As fêmeas expostas ao EEKt, durante a pré-implantação, tiveram o consumo de água e ração reduzidos e um aumento no índice de perdas pré-implantação na dose de 2000 mg/kg. No período de pós-implantação e lactação, registraram-se mortes maternas, aumento no índice de perdas pós-implantação e um decréscimo no índice de desmame nas doses de 500 mg/kg e 2000 mg/kg do extrato. Os descendentes apresentaram atraso no desenvolvimento dos reflexos de andar adulto e de geotaxia negativa. Os resultados sugerem que o tratamento com o EEKt ou FHEEKt, em dose única, apresenta baixa toxicidade, no entanto, quando o EEKt é administrado em fases críticas do processo reprodutivo, há indícios de um possível efeito tóxico sistêmico e sobre o sistema reprodutor de ratos e ratas Wistar.

Full textAbstract:
A Solanum lycocarpum St. Hil (Solanaceae) é uma planta nativa do cerrado brasileiro, cujos frutos possuem os glicoalcalóides esteroidais solasonina e solamargina. É possível que a ingestão de frutos que contenham esses glicoalcalóides possam interferir no equilíbrio do sistema endócrino. O presente estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar os possíveis efeitos tóxicos provenientes da ingestão diária de frutos verdes da S. lycocarpum (10% na ração) por ratas prenhes, a partir do 6° dia da gestação (DG 06) ao 7° dia pós-natal (PN 07). Os princípios ativos isolados dos frutos da planta mostraram a presença de 0,6% de solamargina e 0,9% de solasonina. A exposição das mães à planta alterou alguns parâmetros do desempenho reprodutivo; foram observados redução tanto do peso como do comprimento corporal das ninhadas experimentais ao nascimento, um ou dois filhotes mortos ao nascimento em 20% das ninhadas experimentais e menor capacidade em adquirir peso do nascimento à vida adulta. A prole experimental adulta fêmea apresentou degeneração de células epiteliais uterinas no dia PN 60, não sendo mais observada esta alteração no dia PN 90. A avaliação do comportamento sexual de fêmeas (PN 10O) mostrou redução do coeficiente de lordose das fêmeas experimentais quando comparado com o coeficiente de lordose das fêmeas do grupo controle. Na prole experimental masculina (PN 60 e PN 90) observou-se importante degeneração de células germinativas dos duetos testiculares. Por outro lado, o comportamento sexual desta prole não mostrou-se alterado. Na avaliação de neuroaminas cerebrais, a prole feminina apresentou maior atividade do sistema noradrenérgico estriatal, caracterizada por redução dos níveis de noradrenalina, sem alteração dos níveis de seu metabólito ácido vanilmandélico (VMA), e reduzida atividade do sistema serotoninérgico hipotalâmico, caracterizada por elevação dos níveis de serotonina (5-HT) sem alteração dos níveis de seu metabólito ácido 5-hidroxiindolacético (5 HIAA). Os filhotes machos apresentaram concentrações reduzidas de noradrenalina, VMA e ácido homovanílico (HV A). Ambos, machos e fêmeas, apresentaram níveis estriatais diminuídos de dopamina e seu metabólito ácido dihidroxifenilacético (DOPAC), sem, contudo, alterar a atividade do sistema dopaminérgico. Não foram observadas alterações hormonais tanto nas mães, quanto na prole, avaliadas por meio da mensuração não invasiva de metabólitos dos hormônios progesterona, estradiol e testosterona nas fezes. Estes dados tomados em conjunto indicam que a planta promoveu leve toxicidade materna e apresentou leve efeito fetotóxico. A avaliação das proles do nascimento à vida adulta indicou ainda que os glicoalcalóides esteroidais presentes nos frutos provocaram efeitos diferenciados nas proles feminina e masculina e possivelmente apresentam atividade estrogênica.<br>Solanum lycocarpum St. Hil (Solanaceae) is a native shrub of the Brazilian savanna. The fruits contain steroidal glycoalkaloids, solasonine and solamargine, that can disrupt the endocrine system once in the body by ingestion of S. lycocarpum fruit. The present study was performed in order to determine the possible toxic effects of S. lycocarpum fruit ingestion (10% added in the diet) by pregnant rats from gestation day (GD) 06 to post-natal day (PND) 07. The unripe fruits employed contain 0.021 % of solamargine and 0.031 % of solasonine. S. lycocarpum 10% in the diet, during pregnancy and beginning of lactation, did not impair gestation but alterations in some parameters of the reproductíve performance were observed: lower body weight and body size of the experimental litters at PND 01, one or two stillbirths were observed in 20% of the experimental litters and reduced weight gain of the pups from birth to adulthood. Female offspring (PN 60) presented reversible uterine epithelial cel! degeneration, and at PND 100, presented impaired sexual behavior caracterized by reduced lordosis quotient. Male offspring (PN 60 and PND 90) showed irreversible degeneration of testis germinative cells and normal sexual behavior. The central neuroamine systems avaliation presented, in the female exposed offspring, increased activity of striatal norepinephrine system, with reduced levels of norepinephrine (NOR) and normal levels of vanilmandelic acid (VMA), and reduced activity of the hypothalamic serotoninergic system, with increased serotonin (5-HT) and normal 5-hydroxindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) levels. Exposed male offspring presented reduced hypothalamic NOR, VMA and homovanilic acid (HV A) levels, and both males and females presented striatal dopamine (DA) and dihydroxylphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) reduced levels, without alterations in the activity of the dopaminergic system. The sexual hormones were also evaluated by a non invasive method with feces extraction. However no alterations were observed in progesterone, estradiol and testosterone metabolite levels in dams and offspring feces. Present data showed light maternal toxicity and light fetotoxic effects. The evaluation of the offspring from birth to adult age indicate that the steroidal glycoalkaloids present in the fruit act by different ways in male and female fetuses, and perhaps presents estrogenic activity.

Full textAbstract:
La reperfusión en caso de oclusión de una arteria coronaria se puede realizar con agentes fibrinolíticos que recanalizan de forma farmacológica la oclusión trombótica asociada a SCACEST o mediante la eliminación de forma mecánica de la obstrucción con una angioplastia primaria (ICPp). La ICP primaria es la estrategia de reperfusión, pero desgraciadamente muchos de los pacientes acuden inicialmente a hospitales sin ICP, siendo su principal limitación la imposibilidad de ofertarla al total de la población por su limitada disponibilidad geográfica y el retraso que supone el traslado desde centros sin disponibilidad de ICPp a centros de referencia. Se han puesto en marcha programas regionales de asistencia al SCACEST en los que se integran ambos tratamientos de reperfusión, en función del tiempo de evolución de los síntomas y la demora a la angioplastia primaria, utilizando en casos indicados la trombolisis para lograr una rápida recanalización de la arteria ocluida, seguido de un estudio angiográfico de forma rutinaria. En la Región de Murcia existe un programa de atención al SCACEST, cuyos resultados no han sido evaluados. Objetivos: Analizar los resultados del tratamiento del SCACEST en la Región de Murcia. Para ello nos planteamos los siguientes objetivos: 1. Analizar las características clínicas y evolución de los pacientes en función del área: a. Áreas dependientes de Hospitales comarcales sin disponibilidad de ICPp. b. Área con acceso inmediato a ICPp. 2. Comparar las características y resultados de dos estrategias específicas de reperfusión: pacientes pertenecientes al HUVA tratados con ICPp vs pacientes pertenecientes a hospitales comarcales tratados con trombolisis. 3. Estudiar los pacientes tratados con fibrinolisis, analizando las características clínicas y la evolución de los enfermos con reperfusión exitosa frente a los que precisaron una ICP de rescate. 4. Analizar los predictores de mortalidad a 30 días en pacientes con SCACEST atendidos en nuestro medio. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de una cohorte de pacientes, ingresados por SCACEST durante los años 2006 al 2010 en los dos grupos de Hospitales: Grupo 1. Hospital con ICPp: Hospital Universitario Virgen de la Arrixaca (El Palmar, Murcia). Grupo 2. Hospitales comarcales sin ICPp: Hospital Comarcal del Noroeste (Caravaca de la Cruz) y Hospital Virgen del Castillo (Yecla). Criterios de inclusión: Pacientes con diagnóstico de SCACEST. Pacientes remitidos para realización de ICPp a H.C.U.V.Arrixaca, o trombolisados. Duración de los síntomas menor de 24 horas. Se analizaron las siguientes Variables: • Fase Hospitalaria: Variables demográficas; antecedentes cardiovasculares y otras comorbilidades; presentación IAM (tiempos evolución y variables ECG), características ecocardiográficas y angiográficas; empleo de técnicas invasivas; evolución hospitalaria. • Seguimiento: Eventos cardiovasculares a corto (30 días) y largo plazo (1 año): mortalidad total y cardiaca, reIAM, ACV, necesidad de nueva revascularización. Conclusiones: 1. Los pacientes diagnosticados de SCACEST en las áreas sanitarias de la Región de Murcia más alejadas (IV y V) presentan unas características clínicas similares a los del área I. 2. A pesar de una menor accesibilidad a la ICPp inmediata en las poblaciones pertenecientes a estas áreas sanitarias, la red asistencial regional al SCACEST permite lograr unos resultados comparables a los de las poblaciones pertenecientes a áreas sanitarias con disponibilidad de ICPp. 3. La estrategia fármacoinvasiva permite aplicar un tratamiento de reperfusión a las poblaciones pertenecientes a esas áreas sanitarias, sin disponibilidad de ICPp, dentro de los tiempos recomendados por las sociedades científicas, con tasas de supervivencia similares a las de la ICPp, sin un aumento de las complicaciones, y con unos resultados a corto y largo plazo similares. 4. Los pacientes en los que la trombolisis no ha sido efectiva, la ICP de rescate presenta unos resultados similares a corto y largo plazo, sin un aumento significativo de las complicaciones. 5. Los predictores de mortalidad a 30 días fueron una fracción de eyección del ventrículo izquierdo (FEVI) deprimida, la ausencia de flujo coronario TIMI III al final del procedimiento intervencionista y la clase funcional Killip durante el ingreso.<br>Rapid diagnosis of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) followed by a quick restoration of a TIMI 3 coronary flow in the occluded artery is associated with a short and long term improvement in survival. Restoration of myocardial perfusion can be done pharmacologically with thrombolitics agents or by a mechanical elimination of a thrombus with a primary angioplasty (pPCI). Several clinical trials have shown that primary angioplasty is the preferred reperfusion strategy in patients with STEMI. However, many patients with STEMI arrive to hospitals without pPCI or it cannot be performed in a timely manner according to clinical guidelines. Regional systems of STEMI care have been developed using both methods of reperfusion depending on the time of symptoms onset and the delays to a pPCI. When thrombolysis is indicated to open the occluded artery routine angiography should be done in the first 24-48 hours (pharmacoinvasive strategy). In Region de Murcia we have had for several years a STEMI attention program with different methods of reperfusion depending on the place where the diagnosis is made. The results of this program have not been evaluated. Objectives: The main aim of the study is to analyze the results of STEMI treatment in Región de Murcia. We propose the following more specific objectives: 1. Analyze clinical characteristics and outcomes of the patients depending on the sanitary area where they were first attended: a. Hospitals without pPCI. b. Hospital with pPCI. 2. Compare clinical characteristics and outcomes of the two different reperfusion strategies: a. Patients treated with primary PCI from sanitary area I (HUVA) b. Patients treated with fibrinolysis from regional hospitals (areas IV and V). 3. Analyze clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with successful fibrinolysis vs rescue PCI after failed fibrinolysis 4. Analyze Mortality predictors in patients with STEMI treated in our regional network Methods Restrospective cohort study of patients with STEMI from 2006-2010 in two different groups of hospitals. Group 1: Hospital with pPCI (Hospital Universitario Virgen de la Arrixaca). Group 2: regional hospitals without pPCI (Hospital Virgen del Castillo and Comarcal del Noroeste). All of them have the same reference ICU in Hospital Virgen de la Arrixaca. Inclusion criteria: patients with the diagnosis of STEMI based in classical criteria and duration of symptoms less than 24 hours. We analyze the following variables: Hospitalization: Demographic variables, previous cardiac disease and cardiovascular risks factors, other comorbidities; STEMI presentation (time from symptoms onset to reperfusion and EKG), angiographic and echocardiographic features, invasive technics, in-hospital outcomes. Conclusions: 1. STEMI patients in populations further away from hospital with pPCI (areas IV and V) present clinical features similar than area I patients. 2. Despite of less availability of pPCI in regional hospitals, after the organization of a regional network for the treatment of STEMI the results obtained were similar to the patients from a hospital with pPCI. 3. Pharmacoinvasive strategy allows to apply a reperfusion treatment in populations further away from a hospital with pPCI within the time limits recommended by scientific societies. The reperfusion rate and short and long term results were similar to pPCI without an increase in complications. 4. In patients in which thrombolysis has not been effective, rescue PCI, has similar short and long term results than pharmacoinvasive strategy, without a significant increase in complications. 5. Mortality predictors at 30 days were low left ventricle ejection fraction, lack of TIMI III flow at the end of the interventional procedure and killip class during hospitalization.

Since the 1960s, religious adherence in Canada has declined with ‘no religion’ slowly taking its place. Although British Columbia has been less religious than the rest of Canada since its early settler days, the currents of postwar secularization can still be assessed. In this thesis, I look at secularization on a denominational, regional, and gender specific scale. Through the oral testimonies of eleven women who were raised Catholic in Victoria, and who left Catholicism in the ‘long sixties,’ I discuss the way the Catholic Sisters of St Ann modeled autonomy for these women in how they were educated within the Catholic church and I investigate how cultural and societal discourse regarding women’s liberation, autonomy and individualism impacted their departure. In leaving the Catholic church, these women joined the ranks of the rising ‘religious nones’ in this region, however their departure from organized religion did not always mean a rejection of belief in a higher power or spirituality, with the majority retaining some form of spirituality throughout their lives. Despite this, their departure from institutional religion and lack of religious socialization for their children influenced the subsequent irreligiosity of their children and grandchildren. I argue that these women engaged with the calls for women’s autonomy in the long sixties, and in their actions influenced intergenerational secularization.<br>Graduate<br>2022-09-10

For a school which in 1994 has over one thousand students, a full time staff of over seventy and
a reputation as one of the best schools not only in Tasmania, but also in Australia, the opening
day of St. Michael's Collegiate School over 100 years ago on Monday 3rd October 1892 was
very low key. There was no formal opening by the Governor of Tasmania. There was no
Bishop. No fanfare in the local press announced the new school. No reporter from The
Mercury came to write up the event for Tuesday's paper. Twelve students were brought to the
new school in Harrington Street (now the offices of Murdoch Clarke & Drake Solicitors and
Barristers). There the twelve first enrolments were received by Sister Phyllis, Sister Hannah and
Sister May of The Community of the Sisters of the Church which had founded the School,
under the name of a "Higher Grade Elementary School" as it was then called. The Dean, Dean
Dundas, read prayers and to misquote T.S. Elliot, Collegiate was born not with a bang but a
whisper.
Lack of a "Grand Opening" did not spell lack of strong support. Many people prayed for its success. Naturally the school had loomed large in the devotions of those three Sisters and the other four who had sailed from England. The other four Sisters (Bridget, Lucy, Irene and Rose) had gone on to Melbourne and Adelaide to work for the Order there and also found schools.
No one prayed for the school more earnestly than Mother Emily Ayckbowm, the foundress of both the Church Extension Association (C.E.A.) in 1864 and the Community of the Sisters of the Church in 1870; the secular and the spiritual arms of her efforts to spread Christ's messages to rich and poor. BUT - Who was Emily Ayckbowm? What was the Community of the Sisters of the Church? Who brought these Sisters to Australia? What was their work to be?

Full textAbstract:
<p>Locations associated with prominent individuals may become destinations with sufficient drawing power to become the principal motivation for visiting. Events following the deaths of such individuals may further enhance the numbers of people visiting such sites. The Beatification of Mother Mary MacKillop as Australia's first Saint in 1995 was the catalyst for growing public interest in the Foundress of the Congregation of the Sisters of St Joseph. Increasing numbers of 'guests' (as the Sisters describe pilgrims and other visitors) now visit Mount Street, North Sydney, the location of the Memorial Chapel containing the tomb of Mary MacKillop.</p>
<p>My principal purpose was to understand the Sisters' experiences of visitor impacts through a qualitative investigation. The research commenced in 1999 and was on-going until 2002 as field materials were analysed and this public text written. In adding to the knowledge of tourism social impacts, the investigation is distinguished by the ontology, epistemology, and methodology of constructivism (in both constructivist and constructionist forms). Through the construction and interpretation of their stories, gathered during informal, minimally structured topical life history interviews with Sisters who voluntarily shared their experiences, a richly textured bricolage was created. How visitors and their impacts are experienced by a host community comprising members of a religious Order, has not been widely researched, especially at emerging, rather than long-established, pilgrimage destinations. No comparable research has focused on the Sisters of St Joseph following the Beatification of Blessed Mary MacKillop.</p>
<p>The study postulates a theory of 'touristic ministry', a term offered by one Sister, and with which the views of others coalesced, to describe the Congregation's activities in seeking innovative ways to extend traditional Josephite ministries. The Sisters have experienced relocation; the effects of commercialization; the redefinition of formerly private places into public-ised spaces; and the ambiguity of traditional spatial and social boundaries. Touristic ministry is founded on using the impacts of increasing visitor numbers in positive ways to achieve higher purposes with which the community concurs, and in ways that fundamentally transcend the mere catering to visitors. The Sisters' supportive attitudes towards visitors, and their tolerance of visitor impacts, reflect five Cs: Concurrency with wider social, and especially religious, changes; Congruence with prevailing social norms characteristic of the Congregational community; Compliance with the decisions of Congregational Leaders; Confluence with intrinsic factors such as age and proximity to the development; and Consensus regarding the higher altruistic purposes of the development of Mary MacKillop Place. This notion has wider implications in understanding community attitudes toward visitors and their social impacts. Despite disruptions and potentially negative impacts, visitors may be perceived more positively when host community members see them as a means to a greater end.</p>

Full textAbstract:
This thesis describes the formation of religious communities (orders, congregations) and their development in the world and in our country. They are described with a view to their charitable activities. It further deals with the persecution of the church in general and the persecution and the life of the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy of St. Charles Borromeo with regard to Prague in the period of 1945-1989. This section is divided into six particular periods according to the importance of the influence of the state on the activities of the church and the Congregation. Each of these periods is divided into two parts. The first part illustrates the development of the relationship between the state and the church generally. The second part describes the relationship between the state and womens` orders and with the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy of St. Charles Borromeo in particular.

A presente dissertação pretende estudar a história da origem e crescimento da fé cristã,
bem como as alterações e conflitos sócio-culturais-espirituais provocados em Malabar, Índia
(atual estado de Kerala). A fé cristã, de acordo com a tradição em Malabar, possui raízes no
primeiro século de Nosso Senhor. De acordo com estudos históricos, bem como com a tradição,
foi S. Tomé Apóstolo quem trouxe a fé aos povos de Malabar. Estes tornaram-se historicamente
conhecidos como “Cristãos de Tomé”. A fé cristã em Malabar enfrentou três tipos de inculturações sociais e atravessou vários conflitos sociopolíticos: (a) a chegada do Apóstolo, em 52 AD., (b) a migração de cristãos
persas (siríacos/caldaicos), em 345 AD., e (c) o aparecimento dos primeiros europeus, portugueses, em 1498.Três capítulos deste trabalho abordam detalhadamente cada um destes aspetos. Uma origem, crescimento e sustentabilidade do cristianismo na Índia possui variados fenómenos históricos. Esta história encontra-se abundantemente relacionada com a Teologia e Espiritualidade da fé cristã em Malabar e ainda mais com o modo de vida do povo da região. Como sociedade ancestral, com muitas tradições culturais e sociais e com um sistema de castas, Malabar aceitou uma religião como o cristianismo, à época da sua origem, muito recente e dissemelhante das suas crenças. Diferentes nações chegaram a Malabar e transformaram as convicções e modo de vida dos nativos. A Pérsia e Portugal deram-lhes diferentes Ritos de rituais e devoções, da mesma fé cristã. Mas, não obstante, o cristianismo em Malabar é forte e encontra-se em crescimento. Existem três Ritos católicos: latino, sírio-Malabar e sírio-Malankara.<br>This dissertation intends to study the history of origin and growth of Christian faith and

many socio-political wars. (a) The arrival of Apostle in 52 AD., (b) the migration of Persian
Christians (Syriac/Chaldaic) in 345 AD., and (c) the arrival of first Europeans, Portuguese in 1498. Three chapters of this work consider each of these aspects in detail. An origin, growth and sustainability of Christianity in India had many historical phenomena.
