Abstract: The increasing usage of the space above and underneath the land surface brings up the need of controlling its occupation. The localization of the infrastructure underground network is a major challenge, and for most of the countries, this information is not yet available or not easy to access. At this juncture, the cadastre of the network location is of fundamental importance for the water management supply systems. ISO 19152 from 2012 - Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) - addresses the standardization and integration of common features of cadastre systems in a simple way, and may be applied to several aspects of land administration. Within this context, this research aims to develop a model of subsurface water utility networks, based on the standard proposed by LADM. The implementation of the model suggested by ISO 19152 was tested using the COMPESA cadastre of the water utility network as a study case. The modernization and the technological advances adopted by the company facilitated the understanding of the geographical database underlying structure and its adaptation to the international standard. The modeling was produced using UML language, and DBDesigner for the physical implementation, executed in connection with PostgreSQL/PostGIS and QGIS, was applied.

No Brasil, a aceroleira, decorrente principalmente da propagação por sementes, tem dado origem a plantios comerciais cujos frutos apresentam parâmetros de qualidade diferenciados. Características físico-químicas de frutos de 18 genótipos de aceroleira (Malpighia emarginata DC.) do Banco Ativo de Germoplasma da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco - UFRPE foram avaliados. O rendimento em polpa variou de 41,06% (PL 40) a 72,54% (PL 43) e, com exceção do genótipo PL 37, os demais apresentaram frutos com teores de ácido ascórbico superiores a 1000 mg.100 g-1. O genótipo PL 39 destacou-se por apresentar o maior teor de ácido ascórbico (1667 mg.100 g-1), SST e flavonóis (15,04 mg.100 g-1), além de elevado teor de antocianinas, sendo, portanto, o mais promissor. Os frutos do genótipo PL 34 revelaram o maior valor de SST/ATT, indicando ser o mais doce

In Brazil, acerola tree commercial orchards yield fruits with different quality attributes since their propagation is by seeds. The physicochemical characteristics of 18 genotypes of acerola tree (Malpighia emarginata DC.) from the Active Bank of Germoplasm of UFRPE were evaluated. The pulp efficiency ranged from 41.06 (PL 40) to 72.54% (PL 43). Except for the genotype PL 37, all others showed ascorbic acid content higher than 1,000 mg.100 g-1. The genotype PL 39 showed the highest content of ascorbic acid (1,667 mg.100 g-1), TSS and flavonols (15.04 mg.100 g-1) and a high value for anthocyanins. Therefore, it can be said it is the promising genotype. The fruits from genotype PL 34 showed the highest value for the TSS/TTA; they were the sweetest

OBJETIVO: O não desenvolvimento da úlcera de pressão de pacientes graves em terapia intensiva é um grande desafio para a enfermagem. Portanto, é relevante a prevenção para que se garanta um cuidado de boa qualidade. O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar a aplicabilidade da escala de Braden em pacientes de terapia intensiva. MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo baseado na avaliação de todos os pacientes internados na unidade de terapia intensiva adulto, no período 14 de Julho a 10 de Agosto de 2009. A coleta de dados foi realizada através da aplicação da escala de Braden por três juízes, identificando os riscos para o desenvolvimento da úlcera de pressão. Para a análise dos dados foi utilizado o Software estatístico SAS Na avaliação do grau de coincidência entre os juízes utilizou-se valor kappa (IC=95%). RESULTADOS: Quanto aos fatores de risco relacionados: 36,4% apresentavam leve limitação à percepção sensorial, 50,9% pele ocasionalmente úmida; 97,3% restritos ao leito; 39,1% muito limitados à mobilidade, 45% nutrição provavelmente inadequada, 61,8% apresentaram problema quanto à fricção e cisalhamento. Quanto à concordância entre os juízes (38,1% a 100,0%) foram registradas em nutrição e atividade física; a hipótese do Kappa populacional nulo foi rejeitada; análise entre pares de examinadores de coincidência (41,7% a 100,0%) foi registrada no item umidade e atividade física, os valores de Kappa variaram de 0,13 a 1. CONCLUSÕES: Observou-se elevado risco para ulcera de pressão em pacientes de terapia intensiva. Esse instrumento parece ser adequado para auxiliar na implementação de medidas de prevenção.

OBJECTIVE: The avoidance of pressure ulcers development in critically ill patients is a major nursing challenge. Prevention is thus relevant for assurance of high quality care. This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of the Braden scale in intensive care unit patients. METHODS: This was a prospective study based which evaluated all adult patients staying in the intensive care unit from July 14 to August 10, 2009. The data were collected using the Braden's scale by three examiners who identified the pressure ulcer development risk. The data were analyzed using the SAS Statistical Software. For determination of the examiners' rates degree of coincidence, the Kappa value was used (95%CI). RESULTS: Regarding the related risk factors: 36.4% had mild sensory perception impairment; 50.9% had occasionally moist skin; 97.3% bedfast; 39.1% had very limited mobility; 45% probably had inappropriate nutrition; 61.8% had friction and shear problems. An agreement between the examiners was identified for nutrition and physical activity (38.1% to 100.0%); the Kappa population zero hypothesis was rejected; a paired examiners agreement (41.7% to 100.0%) was identified for the items humidity and physical activity, and the Kappa values ranged from 0.13 to 1. CONCLUSIONS: These intensive care patients were identified to have increased risk of developing pressure ulcers. This tool was considered appropriate to support the implementation of preventive measures.
