Desta forma a FPN procura intervir, apoiar e potenciar, a nível nacional, o desenvolvimento da natação desportiva, começando pela etapa do ensino e aperfeiçoamento da natação com os conteúdos mais pertinentes

Five national level male swimmers performed 200 m breaststroke at maximal effort. Electromyography data on biceps brachii, deltoid anterior, pectoralis major and triceps brachii were analysed. The relative duration of active and non-active phase and the average rectified value for the neuromuscular patterns were recorded. The swim bouts were videotaped in sagittal plane with a pair of cameras and the Theme software 5.0 was used toanalyse the detected patterns in each swimmer. The neuromuscular pattern revealed that by the average rectified value the biceps brachii and triceps brachii were increased at the end of the test for swimmers 1 and 5, while biceps brachii , deltoid anterior and pectoralis major were increased for swimmers 2 and 4. Different motor patterns between cycles, and between swimmers were observed.We found similarities between the swimmers, adjusting th...

Despite enabling energy managers to monitor and reduce energy costs, these solutions are still quite expensive, mostly due to the equipment price but also to their installation and commissioning effort (installation must be performed by qualified personnel). Moreover in practice, most EMS feature a limited number of meters which are insufficient for an effective energy consumption analysis. The design of a low-cost EMS solution based on open electronics and protocols will likely enable the adoption of large number of meters. This thesis proposes to develop an easy to install and low-cost meter that will also allow the creation of a scalable wireless mesh network of energy meters to perform sub-metering with a desirable resolution. This work demonstrates that it is possible to create a lowcost EMS with reduced implementation and commissioning cost...

Aphasia is understood as a disorder that affects all aspects of language. The informal caregiver and the nurse, have an important role in the autonomy of the person with aphasia, minimizing anguish and limitations. A Scoping Review was developed with the question: Which nursing interventions enable the informal caregiver of a person with aphasia in the home context? The research was carried out with MeSH descriptors, combining the research strategy Nurs*AND Aphasia OR Homenursing AND Caregivers. The selection process of the studies was developed according to the PRISMA 2009 Flow Diagram, guaranteeing their methodological quality, highlighting the nurse’s role as a care provider and case manager, his or hers aspect of team-leader and mediator, in order to create a care network adapted to individual needs, shaped by shared values between the team, person and family.

However, as this approach requires a massive amount of data not always available in practice, the agency established assumptions to enable its implementation by all Brazilian utilities. These assumptions are currently under scrutiny by the utilities. In this context, this paper investigates the assumptions regarding load connection type, load power factor, line impedance, grounding resistance and load curve resolution, to identify whether they are indeed necessary, technically sound and what is the quantitative impact on technical losses. The study was conducted on a large database with 1,248 distribution feeders modeled in OpenDSS (over 4.5 million customers) to obtain truly realistic results. Moreover, analytical derivations are presented to assess the technical correctness of all assu...

Diante disso, o objetivo deste artigo é examinar a trajetória e o volume de recursos da política de inovação em NT considerando os instrumentos de fomento financeiros não reembolsáveis. Em particular, a Subvenção Econômica à Inovação (SEI), da FINEP; o financiamento não reembolsável à associação ICT-empresa (ICT-E), da FINEP; e o programa de Formação de Recursos Humanos em Áreas Estratégicas (RHAE), destinado a pesquisadores em empresas, do CNPQ. A pesquisa é descritiva e sua metodologia consistiu em mapear os projetos aprovados nos editais direcionados à área de NT, assim como os projetos envolvendo NT aprovados em editais não específicos para essa área. A partir deste mapeamento se reconstruiu a linha do tempo dessa política evidenciando, principalmente, a falta de sustentabilidade da estratégia de fomento à nanotecnologia nos três programas, marcada por descontinuidades.
