Lung cancer was a rare disease until the middle of the XX century, a time when it became one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in the actual world. Nowadays, it is esteemed that one million people all over the world die every year due to lung cancer, which means that a life is lost each 30 seconds. The quality of life of this patients decreases inevitably, being frequent hospital readmission due to the lack of conditions to lead a normal and painless life. The aim of this study was to evaluate physical and cognitive incapacity and the social needs of patients with lung cancer in the outpatient department of Hospital de S. João--Porto. Our study includes 68 patients, predominantly married male, with average age of 63, retired, ex-smokers. Moreover, they had high physical dependence degrees and the most frequent social need was the attribution of the "complemento por dependência". In this type of patients, the family has a very important role on which the treatment is concerned, as well as to the level of the personal adjustment of the patient to his disease. Its social workers job to play a mediating role between the patients and their relatives and the several institutions which can give better responses to the needs of this sort of patients.
Em Aristóteles, a relação da tragédia com a verdade mostra-se especialmente no capítulo IX da Poética, pela noção de “verossimilhança” (kata to eikon). Para o filósofo, a poesia diz respeito, antes de tudo, ao que parece verdade, ou ao que “poderia acontecer”, tendo ou não acontecido de fato. Sem desconsiderar a importância do verossímil na Poética, propomos, neste artigo, pensar o sentido da verdade para a tragédia a partir da noção de natureza (physis) que aparece nos capítulos IV e VII, e que compreende a concepção de arte (tékhnê) e de poesia, mímesis.
The recent changes in the agriculture in Uruguay, by the adoption of no-tillage planting systems, have included the use of marginal soils for crop production, being the soybean the main crop that allowed those changes. Several questions have arisen about the sustainability of the intensive soil use of these new production systems. The objective of this work was to detect situations with greater probability of nutrient defi ciencies, using soybean as indicator crop. During crop seasons 2009/10 and 2010/11 a nutritional soil survey of soybean crops was conducted, collecting soil and leaf samples of 178 commercial fi elds widely distributed around the country, at the R1-R2 soybean growth stage. In half of the sites soybean was the main crop, and in the other half soybean was planted following winter crops. Soybean yield ranged from 511 to 5435 kg ha -1 . In 34% of the fi elds pH was below 5.3, even in the traditional agricultural zone. In 54% of fi elds available P was below 12 mg kg -1 of P Bray-1, and 23% of the cases were below 0.30 cmol c kg -1 of exchangeable K. The concentrations of macronutrients in leaves for all the samples were: 3.88 (±0.66) % N; 0.26 (± 0.08) % P; 2.03 (±0.53) % K; 1.14 (±0.23) % Ca; 0.36 (±0.10) % Mg; and 0.29 (±0.07) % S. The micronutrient concentration means were 9, 77, 61, and 30 mg kg -1 of Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn, respectively. The more frequently defi cient nutrients were P, K, and N, with 42, 39, and 13% of the fi elds with concentrations in leaves below the critical concentrations. The results show that the actual soybean productivity could be partially affected by nutrient defi ciencies, suggesting that soil pH, and P or K corrections need to be considered in the nutritional management program for each crop production system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
