Water poverty in the peri-urban territories of Mumbai, India
No full textThis paper addresses water poverty in the peri-urban areas of Mumbai. The term "water poverty" refers to a variety of situations where people lack from sufficient water in terms of quality and quantity or from enough money to buy water from formal and informal providers. The aim of this paper is to identify "water poor peri-urban population" and examine their access to water and how they satisfy their needs. Peri-urban areas are undergoing rapid transformations in the form of economic development, urbanization, demographic changes, environmental hazards all of which are having implications on the demand and supply of water. The water policies are not able to adapt to these rapid transformations. Therefore, a growing population lacks from sufficient access to water, in terms of being supplied by a large distribution network, or by private operators using alternative means.demand of water ; water poverty ; access to water ; peri-urban aera ; India ; Mumbai

Peri-urbanisation, Social Heterogeneity and Ecological Simplification
No full textPeri-urban development pressure on and near Australian coastlines is resulting in the conversion of agricultural land for rural-residential use. The impact of larger and more diverse human populations upon the ecological assets remaining in agricultural landscapes has consequently become a policy concern. This paper contributes to these policy debates by integrating the results of parallel social and ecological research projects commissioned to improve natural resource management in peri-urbanising regions. The research was undertaken in the case study region of South East Queensland, the region supporting Australia’s most rapid population growth. Our results indicate that both social and ecological communities cross a fragmentation threshold due to peri-urban development whereby they become ecologically simple and socially heterogeneous in a coupling that cedes a poor diagnosis for biodiversity retention.stored soil water, dryland grain cropping, extension, social systems, RD&E, differentiation

No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Odontologia, Florianópolis, 2014.O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os indicadores de risco sistêmicos e locais associados com a peri-implantite e sua prevalência. Os critérios de inclusão para o estudo compreenderam: pacientes tratados com implantes de titânio Implacil De Bortoli (São Paulo, Brasil) na Fundação para o Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico da Odontologia (FUNDECTO), da Universidade de São Paulo (USP), no período de 1998 a 2012. Foram examinados 183 pacientes, reabilitados com 916 implantes em função por pelo menos 1 ano. As variáveis foram avaliadas segundo condição sistêmica do paciente, características do implante, coroa protética e parâmetros clínicos. A regressão logística não demonstrou associação de características do implante com a PI. Houve correlação estatística positiva para histórico de doença periodontal (DP), próteses cimentadas, presença de facetas de desgaste na coroa protética e próteses totais. A PI apresentou risco aumentado em 2.20 vezes para histórico de DP, 3.62 vezes para próteses cimentadas em relação às parafusadas, 2.43 vezes na presença de facetas de desgaste na coroa protética e 16.11 vezes para próteses totais em relação as parafusadas. Foram relacionados como indicadores de risco para a PI histórico de DP, próteses cimentadas, presença de facetas de desgaste na coroa protética e próteses totais. As características dos implantes não foram relacionadas com a PI.Abstract : The aim of this study was to identify systemic and local risk indicators associated with peri-implantitis (PI) and its prevalence. Inclusion criteria for the study were patients treated with osseointegrated implants (Implacil De Bortoli, Sao Paulo, Brazil) at FUNDECTO (University of Sao Paulo, USP), from 1998 to 2012. There were examined 183 patients, rehabilitated with 916 implants in function for 1 year at least. Variables were evaluated according to patient's systemic condition, implant's characteristics, prosthetic crown and clinical parameters. Logistic regression did not show any association between implant's characteristics with PI. Also, it was identified an increased risk of 2.20 times for historic of periodontal disease (PD), 3.62 times for cemented restorations compared to screw-retained, 2.43 times when displayed wear facets on the prosthetic crown and 16.11 times for total rehabilitations when compared to single rehabilitations. There were related as risk indicators for PI the historic of periodontal disease, cemented prostheses, presence of wear facets on the prosthetic crown and in total rehabilitations. Implants' characteristics were not related with PI

Foram selecionados para o estudo 297 pacientes, reabilitados com 1001 implantes por pelo menos 1 ano. Os efeitos de diversas variáveis potencialmente explicativas foram avaliados segundo condição sistêmica do paciente, e características do implante, prótese e parâmetros clínicos. A regressão logística não demonstrou associação de fatores sistêmicos na POA. Houve correlação estatística positiva para POA na carga mediata (pAbstract : The aim of the study was to retrospectively evaluate the association of systemic factors and implant-supported rehabilitation features - implant, prosthesis and clinical parameters - with additional peri-implant bone loss = 2mm (ABL). For this study, there were selected 297 patients rehabilitated with 1001 implants at least 1 year in function. The effects of several potentially explanatory variables were evaluated according patient?s systemic conditions and implant, prosthesis and clinical parameters? features. Logistic regression did not demonstrate any association of systemic factors in ABL. There was a positive statistical correlation for ABL in immediate loading (p<0,001), machined surface (p=0,007) and implants in function for more than 4 years (p<0,001) - implant level. Cemented prosthesis (p=0,008) and multiple prostheses (p<0,001) presented higher values for ABL. For clinical parameters analysis, higher ABL was observed in implants that presented adjacent biofilm (p<0,001), higher values of marginal recession (MR) (p<0,001) and clinical probing depth (PD) =5mm (p<0,001). No systemic factor influences ABL. Immediate loading and surface treatment favor the maintenance of peri-implant bone. Also, ABL is associated with cemented prosthesis; partial dentures; and implants in function for more than 4 years. Moreover, with the presence of adjacent biofilm and higher values of MR and PD =5mm. Hence, patients with such issues should be informed about the risk of ABL, prior to implant therapy, and attend periodically to maintenance consultations
Diagnóstico das cianobactérias na Lagoa do Peri, Florianópolis, SC e a legislação sobre água para consumo humano
No full textTCC(graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Ciências Biológicas. Biologia.A Lagoa do Peri, situada dentro de uma área protegida, o Parque Municipal da Lagoa do Peri, constitui o maior corpo de água doce da ilha de Santa Catarina e é utilizada pela CASAN, para abastecimento das populações do leste e sul da mesma. Em virtude da sua importância, vários estudos têm sido realizados no local, os quais revelaram a presença de cianobactérias produtoras de toxinas do grupo das saxitoxinas. Com base na legislação sobre água para consumo humano em vigor, a Portaria 2.914/MS/2011, esse estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar as densidades de cianobactérias e indicar medidas a serem tomadas pelos responsáveis do sistema de abastecimento de água. As coletas foram realizadas uma vez no outono, inverno e primavera. No presente estudo, a espécie Cilindrospermopsis raciborskii foi sempre dominante em todas as coletas acompanhada por Limnothrix sp e Planktolyngbya limnetica, em densidades significativas. As densidades de cianobactérias encontradas, variaram entre 587.884 cél.mL-1 e 1.126.250 cél.mL-1, sendo superiores a 20.000 cél.mL-1, o que exige análise com freqüência semanal de cianotoxinas na água do manancial. Como a C. raciborskii foi dominante e é produtora de saxitoxinas na Lagoa do Peri, deve-se realizar análise semanal dessa toxina, que não pode ultrapassar 3,0 μg de equivalente STX/L na água a ser distribuida para a população. Análises de microcistinas também devem ser feitas já que foram encontradas densidades de Planktolyngbya limnetica e Limnothrix sp. maiores que 10.000 cel.mL-1. Análise de cilindrospermopsina deve ser feita pelo menos uma vez, para confirmar a ausência de produção desta toxina na lagoa do Peri.The Peri lake located in a protected area is the biggest water body of Santa Catarina island and is used by the CASAN to supply the southern and eastern populations of this island. Because its importance, several studies have been conducted in the site, which revealed the presence of cyanobacteria that produce cyanotoxins of the saxitoxins group. Based on drinking water current law, the ordinance 2.914/MS/2011, this study has been conducted in order to evaluate the cyanobacteria densities and indicate the measures to be taken by the authorities in this water supply system. Samples were colected once in autumn, winter and spring. In this study, the C. raciborskii specie was always dominant in all of the samples followed by Limnothrix sp and Planktolyngbya limnetica in significant densities. The cianobacterial densities varied between 587.884 cel.mL-1 and 1.126.250 cel.mL-1, exceeding 20.000 cel.mL-1, which requires analysis with weekly frequency of cyanotoxins in the water supply system. As the C. raciborskii was dominant and is a saxitoxin producer in Peri lake, the water supply system must perform the analysis of this toxins weekly that may not exceed 3,0 μg STX equivalents/L in the water to be distributed to the population. Because the densities of Planktolyngbya limnetica and Limnothrix sp. found exceed 10.000 cels.mL-1, microcystins analysis must be performed. Cylindrospermopsins analysis must be performed at least once to confirm the absence of this toxin in the Peri lake
A Review of whether peri-operative nursing records used in the Western Cape Metropolitan health region are in line with international standards and recommendations for standard content and design characteristics for the Western Cape
No full textBibliography: leaves 180-193.Peri-operative nursing is faced with increasing pressure to improve productivity while coping with diminishing resources. Nurses have to work harder and faster while still maintaining a high standard of patient care. This emphasises the need for comprehensive, yet easy-to-use peri-operative nursing records. A descriptive, non experimental research design was used to survey peri-operative nursing records used in the Western Cape Metropolitan Health Region and content and design characteristics were identified. A comparison was made between these records and the standard set by the Association of Operating Room Nurses (AORN) in the United States of America. The criteria stipulated by the AORN standard were found to be relevant to South African peri-operative nursing practice with a few exceptions. In spite of this, the perioperative nursing records reviewed did not compare well with the AORN standard and were particularly deficient in risk management areas such as potential injury related to positioning the patient, and electrical and physical hazards. Content criteria not mentioned by the standard, but appearing in the local records were identified and certain aspects of design recognised in the literature were also discussed. Recommendations for a South African standard for peri-operative nursing records were made, as well a$ recommendations for further research into the use and design of peri-operative nursing records

Horse keeping in peri-urban areas
No full textThe number of horses in Sweden has increased from 70 000 to almost 300 000 in 30 years. Today these horses are to a large extent kept for the purpose of hobby and leisure and create a substantial land use but link a diverse and a large amount of activities in peri-urban areas in Sweden. The sector contributes with new economic, social and physical possibilities, but also with conflicts between various stakeholders and interests. The overall aim of this work was to contribute to increased understanding of the new and diverse equine sector as a factor for peri-urban landscape development, with stakeholders’ as well as public perspectives. Specific objectives were to map out the influence of the equine sector on the development of multifunctional land use in peri-urban areas and to analyze stakeholder experiences and attitudes towards horse keeping as a land use. Further to outline specific features of horse keeping in peri-urban areas as a new and expanding area of research and to determine the significance of the issue within the broader context of land use and spatial planning. The thesis focuses two issues connected to the Swedish context; set back distances between residential areas and horse keeping and the right of public access. Methods used were questionnaire studies, interviews, participatory observations and studies of media reports. The overall results show a substantial land use not well described by current methods for analyzing and managing land use change. The results from the Swedish issues set back distances between residential areas and horse keeping and the right of public access illustrates both in different ways the partly problematic meeting between the current system for spatial planning and the emerging equine sector as a new land use with conflicts both between involved stake holders and also within the planning system itself. In conclusion a need for spatial planning with both a top down and a bottom up perspective is pointed out for managing this sector allowing it to take place at a local as well as at a regional and national level
