    Introduction: Environmental enrichment consists of changes in the environment of animals that increase their quality of life and well-being. The enrichment of the environment used in research can grant the natural behavior of the animals, reducing the level of stress and increasing the well-being, which can positively influence the responses during an experiment. Objective: To evaluate the effects of environmental enrichment on reducing stress in Wistar rats by measuring fecal cortisol. Methodology: Insertion of objects and activities and cortisol dosage through fecal samples. The animals were separated into groups according to the type of environmental enrichment offered: food, cognitive, food, physical, sensory and social, in addition to the control, social control and stress groups. In each group there was a cage with male animals and another with females. Before and after the stimuli, feces samples were collected from the cages for cortisol dosage. Results: Among the treatments, there was no significant difference in cortisol levels, in the control and enriched animals, but among the socialization treatments there was a significant decrease in the hormone (69.94% difference) in the animals that experienced socialization. Conclusion: There is a need for further research with a larger sample size to better understand the effect of environmental enrichment on laboratory animals.Introdução: O enriquecimento ambiental consiste em mudanças no ambiente de animais que ampliam sua qualidade de vida e bem-estar. O enriquecimento do ambiente utilizado em pesquisas pode conceder o comportamento natural dos animais, diminuindo o nível de estresse e aumentando o bem-estar podendo influenciar positivamente nas respostas durante um experimento. Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos do enriquecimento ambientalna diminuição do estresse em ratazanas Wistar por meio da dosagem de cortisol fecal e do monitoramento de comportamentos. Metodologia: Inserção de objetos e atividades e dosagem do cortisol por meio de amostras fecais. Os animais foram separados em grupos de acordo com o tipo de enriquecimento ambiental oferecido: alimentar, cognitivo, alimentar, físico, sensorial e social, além dos grupos controle, controle social e estresse. Em cada grupo havia uma gaiola com animais machos e outra com as fêmeas. Antes e depois dos estímulos foram coletadas amostras de fezes das gaiolas para a dosagem de cortisol. Resultados: Dentre os tratamentos não houve diferença significativanos níveis de cortisol, dos animais controle e enriquecidos, porém entre os tratamentos de socialização houve diminuição significativa do hormônio (diferença de 69,94%) nos animais que experimentaram a socialização. Conclusão: Há a necessidade de novas pesquisas com número amostral maior para melhor compreensão do efeito do enriquecimento ambiental em animais de laboratório

    Introduction: The global and Brazilian scenario of obesity presents a new challenge for public health, since its presence and prevalence are increasing alarmingly in the last 30 years. Objective: To identify the anthropometric profile of children in a public school in Divinópolis, Minas Gerais, obese and overweight students were submitted to functional capacity test. Methodology: A research involves 48 children / adolescents from elementary school II, from a public school in the city. We included all students with ICF enrolled by the guardian, filling out the Food Consumption Markers Form, where each student had an evaluation form filled out by the evaluator with an anthropometric profile using Z-BMI and underwent a Balke Bank test. Results: According to the data obtained, 79% of students were classified as eutrophic, 21% were overweight / obese and 48% did not practice any type of physical activity. The results presented and the studies that already exist, highlight a negative relationship that overweight / obesity has on the functional capacity of students. I see that this research area presents an important summary and explained in other studies. Conclusion: Similarity was found between the health and anthropometric profile of students in this age group and an inverse relationship between obesity and functional capacity.Introdução: O cenário mundial e brasileiro da obesidade têm se mostrado como um novo desafio para a saúde pública, uma vez que sua existência e sua prevalência têm aumentado de forma alarmante nos últimos 30 anos.

Conclusão: Foi encontrado semelhança entre o perfil de saúde e antropométrico dos estudantes nesta faixa etária e a relação inversa entre sobrepeso/obesidade e capacidade funcional

    Efeito da vazão de aparelhos sanitários sobre o dimensionamento e funcionamento de instalações prediais de água fria

    Full text link
    No Brasil, o dimensionamento de sistema hidráulicos prediais de água fria é realizado principalmente por meio da utilização do Método do Consumo Máximo Provável dos Pesos Relativos, entretanto, também há a possibilidade do dimensionamento com a aplicação de um coeficiente de vazão (K), obtido por meio de curvas de vazão x pressão. Desta forma, objetivou-se verificar a possibilidade de dimensionamento racional, pelo emprego de modelos de aparelhos sanitários distintos, em um sistema hidráulico predial de água fria de uma edificação multifamiliar utilizando o sofware EPANET 2.2. O estudo foi realizado para uma edificação multifamiliar de quatro pavimentos, sendo que cada um deles possui dois apartamentos com área de 45,66 m². A rede foi dimensionada por meio do método dos Pesos Relativos e por meio de tentativas utilizando o sofware EPANET 2.2, adotando curvas x pressão. Porteriormente foi realizada a comparação dos dois cenários. A partir disso, o cenário em que foi considerado todos os aparelhos sanitário, exceto a bacia sanitária com válvula de descarga, foi o que gerou maior interesse prático, além disso, foi notório que a presença da válvula de descarga na bacia sanitária impossibilitou um dimensionamento ótimizado, devido à sua alta vazão. Por fim, pôde-se notar o impacto do aumento da classe de vazão dos aparelhos sanitários no funcionamento hidráulico da rede, uma vez que os diâmetros também foram aumentados

    Full text link
    This article analyzes the diversity of approaches to the organization of activities of state regulators in the field of gambling and lotteries in European countries, their common features and differences, advantages and shortcomings. Given the uniqueness of approaches to the organization of state regulation in the field of gambling and lotteries, the similarity of some conditions and principles, as well as the prospects of use in Ukraine, special attention is paid to the relevant experience of Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland and others. It has been established that the European experience of organizing the activities of the state regulator in the field of gambling and lotteries reveals significant differences in approaches to state regulation in the field of gambling business regarding legal bases, subordination, accountability, the order of formation and composition of the state regulator, the scope of its powers, etc. Despite such differences, state regulation in the field of gambling business is usually entrusted to a separate collegial state body endowed with broad regulatory, licensing, control and other powers. Conclusions are made about the expediency of applying relevant European experience in the context of improving the legal regulation of the Commission for Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries in Ukraine.This article analyzes the diversity of approaches to the organization of activities of state regulators in the field of gambling and lotteries in European countries, their common features and differences, advantages and shortcomings.

    GOOD FAITH AS THE COMMON CORE OF PRE-CONTRACTUAL INFORMATION DISCLOSURE IN THE IRANIAN LAW AND THE PRINCIPLES OF EUROPEAN CONTRACT LAW

    Full text link
    Even with the advancements in information technology at the present times, the challenges triggered by information non-disclosure or asymmetric information at some stage in the conclusion of contracts between two parties are still the crucial issue in contractual relations, in a way that the main reason for the invalidation or termination of contracts has been failure in pre-contractual information (PCI) disclosure. To manage this problem, jurists have advocated and developed the duty of disclosure using multiple legal bases. Exploring such bases accordingly reveals that the principle of good faith is the vital basis for the PCI disclosure. In the general sense, the duty of disclosure is connected with the principle of good faith and even regarded as its subset in the world of contractual relations. Thus, it is claimed that meeting the information required in contractual relations is one of the fundamental aspects of observing the principle of good faith. From this perspective, this study was an attempt to reflect on good faith as the main ground of the PCI disclosure, analyze it, and consider its adequacy in the Iranian law and the Principles of European Contract Law (PECL).Even with the advancements in information technology at the present times, the challenges triggered by information non-disclosure or asymmetric information at some stage in the conclusion of contracts between two parties are still the crucial issue in contractual relations, in a way that the main reason for the invalidation or termination of contracts has been failure in pre-contractual information (PCI) disclosure.
