BackgroundBurnout syndrome can be defined as long-term work stress resulting from the interaction between constant emotional pressure associated with intense interpersonal involvement for long periods of time and personal characteristics. We investigated the prevalence/propensity of Burnout syndrome in clinical nurses, and the factors related to Burnout syndrome-associated such as socio-demographic characteristics, work load, social and family life, leisure activities, extra work activities, physical activities, and work-related health problems.MethodWe conducted a cross-sectional, quantitative, prospective epidemiological study with 188 surgical clinic nurses. We used the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), which is a socio-demographic questionnaire and the most widely used instrument to assess Burnout syndrome (three basic dimensions: emotional exhaustion, despersonalization and professional underachievement). The socio-demographic profile questionnaire wascomposed of questions regarding identification, training, time at work, work characteristics and personal circumstances.ResultsThe prevalence of Burnout syndrome was higher (10.1%) and 55, 4% of subjects had a propensity to develop this syndrome. The analysis of the socio-demographic profile of the nurse sample studied showed that most nurses were childless married women, over 35 years of age, working the day shift for 36 hours weekly on average, with 2-6 years of post-graduation experience, and without extra employments. Factors such as marital status, work load, emotion and work related stress aggravated the onset of the syndrome.ConclusionThe prevalence and propensity of Burnout syndrome were high. Some factors identified can be useful for the adoption of preventive actions in order to decrease the prevalence of the clinical nurses Burnout syndrome.
The paper discusses the restricted distribution and interpretation of "referential" null subjects in Brazilian Portuguese (BP). It shows that referential null subjects in BP behave like obligatorily controlled PRO and argues, following Hornstein (1999, 2001), that they should be analyzed as traces (deleted copies) of A-movement. The proposal is that with the weakening of the verbal inflection in BP, finite Ts became ambiguous in bearing a complete or an incomplete set of φ-features. When the incomplete version is selected in an embedded clause, T is not able to value the Case of the DP in its Spec, which then remains active and may undergo further A-movement. If the movement lands in a θ-position, we obtain a finite control construction; if the landing site is not a θ-position, we obtain a hyper-raising construction, instead. * This paper is based on Chapter 2 of Ferreira (2000).

What about habituals? I should say from the beginning that I will only be dealing here with what I will call 'simple habituals'. Habituality has often been discussed in connection with issues related to the expression of genericity in natural languages, the former being considered as a special case of the letter (see Krifka et al.
A deiscência de anastomose é uma das mais graves complicações advindas de operações do tubo gastrintestinal. Algumas condições gerais podem prejudicar o processo de cicatrização, tais como: desnutrição e hipoalbuminemia. Este estudo experimental teve como objetivo avaliar a cicatrização de anastomoses colônicas na vigência de desnutrição protéico-calórica e hipoalbuminemia. Dividimos os animais em dois grupos, sendo um deles o controle e o outro desnutrido (ingestão diária de metade da ração do grupo controle por vinte dias). O peso corporal, a albumina sérica, a evolução clínica, a cavidade abdominal, os aspectos macro e microscópicos da anastomose, a esteatose hepática e a concentração tecidual de hidroxiprolina foram observadas em cada animal. Pudemos notar que o método utilizado para desnutrir os animais mostrou-se eficaz, uma vez que houve redução significativa do peso do grupo experimental. Observamos que o grupo desnutrido apresentou dados necroscópicos de pior prognóstico e mortalidade superior ao grupo controle. Concluímos que a desnutrição influencia negativamente na cicatrização de anastomoses colônicas e aumenta significativamente a mortalidade.
