Estudo transversal, descritivo-exploratório, realizado em Itaitinga-CE, cujos objetivos foram identificar o perfil socioeconômico e obstétrico de gestantes; verificar a prevalência do Diagnóstico de Enfermagem: “Nutrição desequilibrada - ingestão maior que as necessidades corporais” em gestantes; verificar as características definidoras e o fator relacionado ao referido diagnóstico; e descrever o poder preditivo e a acurácia das características definidoras e do fator relacionado ao diagnóstico. A amostra de 146 gestantes foi estabelecida por coeficiente de confiança de 95%, erro amostral de 5% e P de 50,0%. Os dados foram coletados de abril a setembro 2009. Foram organizados no Excel, versão 2003, analisados nos softwares Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) versão 16.0, Predictive Analysis SoftWare (PASW) versão 18.0 e R versão 2.8.1. Foram calculadas frequências absolutas e percentuais das variáveis nominais. Para as variáveis quantitativas, foram apresentadas a média e o desvio padrão. Para verificação de independência entre variáveis nominais, foi aplicado o teste do Qui-quadrado de Pearson. Foram aplicados o teste da probabilidade exata de Fisher ou o teste de Fisher-Freeman-Halton quando pelo menos 25% das frequências esperadas foram inferiores a cinco. Para a magnitude de associação entre as variáveis nominais, foi calculada a Odds Ratio (OR). Para análise de diferença de mediana, foi aplicado o teste de Kruskal-Wallis. Para verificação da acurácia das características definidoras, foram calculadas a sensibilidade, a especificidade e os valores preditivos. O projeto seguiu as recomendações da Resolução no. 196/96, sendo submetido e aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do Ceará, conforme parecer nº 18/09. A idade média das gestantes foi de 24,34 anos, renda per capita média de R$ 168,30, média de pessoas na família 3,99, 126 (86,3%) declararam união consensual/casada, 96 (65,8%) eram do lar, 77 (53,4%) tinham ensino fundamental. A paridade média foi 1,24, 60 (41,1%) eram nulíparas e 87 (57%) estavam no segundo trimestre da gestação. Vinte (13,0%) gestantes apresentavam baixo peso, 89 (61,0%) peso adequado, 23 (16,0%) sobrepeso e 14 (10,0%) obesidade. Na gestação, o baixo peso reduziu em 50,0%, o eutrofismo em 51,7% e aumentaram os casos de sobrepeso em 160,8% e de obesidade em 135,7%. Sete (4,8%) gestantes apresentaram dobra da pele do tríceps maior que 25 mm. Predominou o consumo de alimentos do grupo A, 141 (96,6%) gestantes eram sedentárias, 55 (32,3%) se alimentavam por sugestão interna além da fome, 80 (42,5%) pelo cumprimento do horário da refeição, 73 (42,0%) se alimentavam vendo televisão e 38 (26,0%) se alimentavam além das necessidades metabólicas. Houve associação estatisticamente significante entre estado nutricional pré-gestacional e gestacional (p=0,03463); estado nutricional gestacional e idade (p=0,001), paridade (p=0,026) e idade gestacional (p=0,002). As características definidoras mais sensíveis foram sedentarismo (97,10%), alimentar-se em resposta a estímulos internos (86,98%), obesidade/sobrepeso e dobra da pele do tríceps (> 25 mm) (100%). Houve baixa especificidade, tendo alimentar-se em resposta a sugestões externas como a mais específica (70,13%). Houve associação estatisticamente significante em: alimentar-se em resposta a sugestões internas além da fome (p= 0,022), sobrepeso/obesidade (p= 0,000) e dobra da pele do tríceps (> 25mm) (p= 0,014).

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is one viral agent that causes infective disease, of transmission frequently sexual, known usually as acuminated conduloma, genital wart or cockscomb, it is the main agent that causes the cancer of the uterus colon as sure as can be with repercussion in the life of the infected individual and in the health of the family. The aims were to evaluate the structure, the development and the function of the family composed by attacked woman by Human Papillomavirus, based in the Calgary Model; to identify possible influences caused within structural family due to disease; to identify factors that the woman relates with the cause of the disease. The search was the descriptive type with qualitative boarding, having been realized one case study, at the home of the informer making use of the Calgary Model as one touched topic of family valuation. Datum collection was realized in January and February from 2007, through interview semi-structured with the couple, genogram and echomap from family. The family was composed of four members such as: the couple Josué and Rosa and their two children: Gabriel and Bela. By gynecological routine exam it was diagnosed in Rosa, one external wart and one small lesion in the scale-columnar junction of the uterus colon. All the members of the family maintain healthy relationship among them; there is a little bit of negativity in the entail between Rosa and Gabriel, due to charges with relation to studies. The couple didn’t keep away from their social net, due to undertaking with the virus. The housewife shared the case with her husband, accusing him, but lately she got acquired him of the importance from safe sexual habits. The couple got over comes the grasped critical phases, overlooking as better repercussion, the changing of their habits and bigger affection among the family. With regard to the theme HPV, it had seen that many people unknown still, staying to the load from professional spread the subject with more emphasis as among women well as men. As well as to promote the education within health, in order to the people reflect to respect of the great importance in utilizing the prophylactic.

Nursing uses different strategies and technologies to insert blind people in the health promotion context. As these predominantly use paper and ink, illustrations and/or television images, programs to prevent and combat drugs limit blind clients’ information access. Feasible technologies for health promotion include Assistive Technology (AT). Games adapted to the blind represent a different education possibility, associating the playful with information collection and, hence, with knowledge, so that they are considered an Assistive Technology and contribute to awareness-raising on the theme, collaborating to turn health promotion into permanent education. Thus, the goal was the development of an Assistive Technology in the form of an educational game on psychoactive drugs use, accessible to the blind, and the assessment of this technology by special education specialists and blind people. An assistive technology construction and assessment study was carried out between June and August 2010 at the Health Communication Laboratory of the Federal University of Ceará (LabCom_Saúde-UFC). Study participants were three special education specialists and twelve blind people. The research involved three methodological phases: construction of the educational game, assessment by special education specialists and assessment by the blind. For assessment purposes, an instrument was elaborated in the form of a Likert scale. Items were divided into adequate, partially adequate, inadequate and does not apply. The three specialists assessed the first version of the assistive technology, Version Alpha, and made suggestions, which were accepted when pertinent. After the adjustments, the specialists assessed the second version of the game, Version Beta, until no further adjustments were needed. Next, three pairs of blind people played the game and assessed Version Beta and, thus, made suggestions, which were incorporated when pertinent. The last three pairs of blind people assessed the new version of the game, Version Gamma. The evaluation phase by the blind people was filmed to facilitate data collection. All study participants signed the Free and Informed Consent Term. Version Alpha was presented to the specialists, who formulated suggestions on the dimension of the board, aspects related to the texture of the board spaces, game pawns, such as the distinction among the pawns, quality of Braille writing and description of the game instructions. After the adjustments, version Beta was constructed and again assessed by the specialists, who considered it adequate. Next, the blind participants’ assessed the game, appointed aspects related to the texture of the spaces and suggested using Velcro in each space to fix the pawn during the moves. After making the adjustments, the assessment continued with the last three pairs, who considered the AT adequate. The participants’ interest and curiosity in the game was evidenced, besides encouraging the application of the game to younger ages than determined in the research. In view of these considerations, the educational game is considered an AT for the blind and was assessed positively, as it permits access to information on psychoactive drugs in a playful way. The AT aroused the blind people’s will and desire to discover what it would be like to play this type of game. It was considered relevant for the teaching-learning process and is thus useful to promote these people’s health, constituting a new tool for nursing to use in its educational function.

The free availability of digital content has fairly increased on the Web. Many of these contents can be modified, reused and adapted for specific purposes. Although diferent resources for providing and storing contents are widely available, there is a lack of tools suitable to versioning control of binary content on the Internet. In addition, most solutions to persistent data on the Web are based on Relational DataBase (RDB). As a simple solution, we can modify the original data and store new records in the tables of a database. However, this leads to a possible ineficiency due to a potentially large amount of redundant information. Nevertheless, in order to overcome this issue, it is possible to adapt versioning tools, also known as Control Version System (CVS), to the solution. These tools are specialized in storage of the modified regions of documents. This process is known as "deltification". However, regarding access time and gathering data, a CVS is less eficient than a DataBase Management System (DBMS). Therefore, if a CVS is used as a solution for data persistence, this can reduce the overall performance of the application. Aiming at designing a repository of versioned binary content on the Web, with eficient management for both accessing and storing binary data, this work analyzes the performance of free DBMSs most frequently used and a CVS, which we consider being the most suitable to the addressed repository. The attained results were the basis for the specification of thearchitecture of a repository that relies on a hybrid approach. The resulting approach lies in the simultaneous use of a DBMS and a CVS. We took into account features and runtime performance of both tools for each operation required in the final application. Then, we designed models on colored Petri Nets, which allowed the simulation and analysis of the aimed architecture. As a result, we present the e ciency of the proposed architecture against a traditional storage approach.

The Pap test has world-wide recognition as a safe strategy to detect cervical cancer early. Its execution includes manual work, from the material collection to the result emission. Thus, the performance of human resources contributes to the security or not of the results. This is carried out by doctors and nurses that compose the teams of Health Family Program (PSF), but mainly by nurses. In this context, it was decided to carry out this study which had as a general objective to evaluate the material collection for the Pap test by nurses and as specific objectives to verify knowledge and practice of these professionals in relation to cytological collection; to identify the availability of material resources which are necessary for the execution of the collection and to evaluate if the collected material is adequate based on the laboratorial report. It is an evaluative research, with descriptive exploratory character. It was executed in units of the Family Health Program (PSF) in Maranguape-CE, whose data was collected from August to October, 2006, through the direct and participative structured observation made with 21 (100%) nurses, in their area, and through the review of the laboratorial reports of 63 collected slides. The structured observation followed the Instrument of Quality Recognition of Proquali Methodology, and the data was annotated using checking system. The participative observation data was registered in field books. The results were presented under nurse characterization; formation, access to technical handbooks and knowledge to deal with cytological collection; performance of nurses in the material collection for the exam (biosecurity measures, comfort and security of women during exam and collection technique); availability of resources for the execution of the procedure and; suitability of the slides. Most nurses were graduated for 9 to 11 years and had 8 years of experience with cytological collection. Seventeen (81%) evaluated themselves as secure to execute the procedure and sixteen (76%) showed to have the adequate knowledge about the exact localization of the cytological collection. The access to the practice of cytological collection at college was referred by only 7 (33%) of them. Only 4 (19%) washed the hands before the procedure, 21 (100%) used procedure gloves in both hands and the discard of the trash was inadequate in all the units. Users’ comfort was evaluated according to the standpoint of making sure if the woman had emptied the bladder before the exam and of explaining it to the user and was achieved by 2 (9,5%) and 4 (19%) of the nurses respectively. The privacy was evaluated by the criteria of covering the woman, maintaining the office’s door closed and preventing people’s getting in and out during the exam. It was achieved by 20 (95%), 17 (81%) and 14 (67%), respectively. The collection technique was satisfactory with 90,5% or more of the nursed in 7 of the 11 evaluated items and the suitability of blenders was satisfactory in 100% of the 63 reports. The nurses’ performance was the ideal expected in terms of guaranteeing slides with good quality to search cervical cancer. However, practice at college, washing of hands, adequate discard of the trash, users’ comfort and security and the interview about women’s conditions for the execution of the collection need improvement. It was observed risk of desiccation, presence of blood and hypocelular material, but unsatisfactory slides were not generated. It is suggested that studies need to be carried out with the objective of evaluating unnecessary or excessive recommendations for the collection.

The obstetric nurse returns to the scenery of reproductive health with their responsibilities enlarged, as strategy proposed by the World Organization of Health - OMS, for the reduction of the maternal and perinatal mortality rates. This fact increases the demands of better professional qualification, so that the interventions implemented for the protection of women’s and children’s health are effective and efficacious. In this perspective, we developed this documental study, aiming to propose a guideline for the nurses’ clinical actions in prenatal consultations in the physiological dimension, subsidized in the International Classification for the Practice of Nursing-CIPE. It was developed at the Center of Natural Childbirth of the Center of Family Development - CEDEFAM/UFC, located in the city of Fortaleza-CE. The population was constituted of 253 records of pregnant women that attended the prenatal nursing consultation in the period between July 2003 and August 2004, and the sample was composed of 62 records selected at random. We used an instrument for data collection that contained the Nursing phenomena according to the CIPE - alpha version. The data were collected in the months of May and August 2004. We detected that the more prevalent phenomenon in the pregnant women were: intermittent sleep (56,5%); functional dyspnea (51,6%); edema (37,1%); orthopnea (35,5%) and constipation (32,2%). We carried out the tests of association qui-square and Firsher, but there was not association of the phenomenon among themselves, nor with the other variables of the study. The conduct guide’s development made it possible to verify that the construction of technologies is something accessible to Nursing and that the CIPE can contribute to a better organization of the nurse’s actions during prenatal period, starting from the answers of the pregnant women facing the physiological alterations caused by pregnancy

The type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disease of increasing importance in public health, since its incidence and prevalence have dauntingly advanced, and has been caused by a combination of genetic factors and lifestyle. In this view, public health indicates primary prevention to identify risk factors for T2DM and strategize in order to avoid exposure to risk by delaying or preventing the onset of the disease. The objective was to evaluate the risk for the development of T2DM among adults in Itapipoca town-Ceará. It is a quantitative research with cross-sectional observational study conducted from January to March 2010, with 419 users of Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) in Itapipoca town-Ceará, the participants aged between 20 and 59 years. To collect data we applied a form in which demographic and clinical data and Finnish Diabetes Risk Score were registered. The data were stored in Excel, and processed in the Statistical Package for Social Science 18.0. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Ceará, under protocol 346/09. Out of the 419 participating users, 88.1% were female and the average age was 37 years, 60.4% were married or had common law-marriage, 39.4% attended to part of primary school and 58.2% belonged to lower social classes. Regarding risk factors for T2DM, 25.3% were aged ≥ 45 years, 59.7% were overweight, 84% were classified as cardiovascular risk, 83.3% were sedentary, 53.7% reported not eating fruit and / or vegetables daily, 12.9% were taking anti-hypertensive, 5.3% reported a previous history of high glucose and 47% had family history of T2DM. As observed, 5.2% of the sample were classified as having hypertension, and only 0.7% with probable diabetes. As for the risk levels for T2DM, 24.6% were at low risk, 63% in moderate risk and 11.7% at high risk. Amongst participants with high risk, 12.0% were men, 30.2% were aged ≥ 45 years, 37.4% were overweight, 21.1% were at increased cardiovascular risk, 12.9% were sedentary; 14.7% did not eat fruit / vegetables daily, 31.5% took antihypertensive drugs, 81.8% reported a history of high glucose and 23.9% had family history of T2DM. This study opens doors for further intervention research in the town, in which individuals at high risk for T2DM would be accompanied by health professionals from the ESF and the Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família. With the aim to reduce or delay the onset of the disease, the individuals would be given guidance as to changes in lifestyle and interventions on potential risk factors found.

Accuracy of the defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis ‘sedentary lifestyle’ in patients with arterial hypertension Facing the increasing global concern related to the physical inactivity, the NANDA taxonomy published in 2006 the nursing diagnosis ‘Sedentary lifestyle’ (SL). The identification of clinical indicators (defining characteristics), with good predition, will contribute to a better accuracy, improving the reliability on the diagnostic inference. Having seen the question from the view of the direct relation between the sedentary lifestyle and the pressoric levels, the study aimed to: identify the prevalence of the SL diagnosis in patients with arterial hypertension (AH), as well as the defining characteristics (DC) and the related factors (RF); verify the reproductibility of the DC and RF, to the establishment of the SL diagnosis in patients with AH; determine the sensitivity, the specificity and the preditive value of the DC in the SL diagnosis in patients with the AH. A transversal study done amongst 310 individuals accompanied in one of the ambulatory and practice centers in Fortaleza- CE. The data collection occured within the period of November, 2007 and March, 2008. The including criteria were: have the AH medical diagnosis; be registered in the program; and be aged between 18 and 69. The data were taken from a form, which had been subjected to a pre-test, through interview. Three evaluators have taken part in the study, they have also decided whether the SL diagnosis and their clinical indicators should be absent or not. The data were compiled in the Excel software and analised through the SPSS program 15.0 version. The level of significance adopted in the study was of 5%. All ethical recommendations were fulfilled. The population showed it was mostly feminine, retired, proceeded from the capital city, catholic, living with a partner, presented excess of diabetes mellitus. Half of the sample had been up to 56 years old, had attended school no more than the primary school years, had had per capita income up to R$ 253.33 and had also been presenting the arterial hypertension diagnosis for more than 10 years. The sample showed, according to the IPAQ classification, 40% showed low level of physical activity. After the evaluators judgement, the DC that was most frequent amongst the patients with AH was “one presents lack of physical condition”. The FRs with most and least prevalence were “lack of practice in order to do exercises” and “the impaired awareness about the benefits that the physical activity brings to health”, respectively. The prevalence of the SL was of 60% associated to the age, to the presence of diabetes and all the DCs and RFs, apart from the “impaired awareness about the benefits that the physical activity brings to health”. The most sensitive DC and the one with the greatest preditive negative values was “one presents lack of physical condition”, whereas “one chooses daily routine without physical exercise” and “one verbalises preference for activity with little physical activity” were more specified and with the most preditive positive values. The variables “one presents lack of physical condition”, “one verbalise preference for activity with little physical activity” and “lack of practice in order to do exercises”, as a whole, were identified as preditors with the SL identifying power of 85.2%. The study gave us a direction towards the diagnostic efficiency for the clinical indicators for the “sedentary lifestyle”. It is necessary that nurses take this diagnosis into account, in different contexts, in order to facilitate the promotion of more effective interventions and, consequently, having less complications derived from this response in people with AH.

Care technology is an accessibility resource to integrate disabled people and mitigate the harms of exclusion. Educative materials accessible to blind people that can be disseminated through the Internet can increase their independence and autonomy. In recent years, digital inclusion is widely emphasized in education, within the social, work and health context. People need to feel included in any environment, with a view to interacting, communicating, expressing themselves and feeling mutually accepted. This research was developed at the Health Communication Laboratory of the Nursing Department at the Federal University of Ceará, Brazil. The goal was to assess a care technology for blind people, based on string literature about breastfeeding, using distance access for health promotion. Pasquali’s model (1999) was used as a theoretical-methodological framework, concretizing the theoretical pole. The research was carried out from March to September 2009. Three experts in each specialty collaborated: content, string literature, pedagogical aspects and technical aspects. For data collection, an instrument was filled out that assessed questions related to content, rules of string literature, the blind’s accessibility to this technology and its distance use. The analysis involved comparing the experts’ notes and critically reflecting on their suggestions. Ethical aspects were respected in compliance with Resolution 196/96. After assessments, the technology was adjusted until its final approval. While the content and string literature experts made two assessments from the perspective of improving the string, whose considerations were included into the technology instrument itself, the pedagogical aspect experts (availability of technology to blind people) made only one, as they suggested few adjustments. In that phase, one of the experts was blind, which was important for the research because the technology targets the blind population. Almost all items were considered totally adequate in the final analysis. Technical aspect experts (use of this technology at a distance) made only one assessment as, for a second analysis, only one expert filled out the instrument. As observed in this phase, they related the study with distance education, but the research refers to distance access to assimilate contents in health. All contributions were valid because they support and stimulate learning, encouraging autonomy. Therefore, the technology is adequate and can be used for distance health education. Its contents do not reflect any type of discrimination or prejudice and the duration of the audio is adequate. The construction of care technology should be submitted to analysis with a view to its validation before being put at the public’s disposal. In this research, the theoretical pole, according to the abovementioned model, was carried out, while the empirical and analytical poles will be carried out in future research. To develop technologies that can make people autonomous and health and, thus, promote the population’s health, nurses should recognize the demands and needs of the community they deliver care to.

The various changes in the daily of women that have breast cancer, arising of cognitive changes, may represents threat to your manteinance biopsychosocial, being a stressful factor because request coping strategies whose aim is the reduction, elimination or management of stress. Thus, the study aimed to verify the occurrence of stress and the use of coping strategies in the daily of women diagnosed of breast cancer. It is a cross-sectional study, descriptive-exploratory, realized in the MEAC’s Mastology ambulatory and in the CRIO’s Chemotherapy sector. The population were composed by women that had been diagnosed recent with breast cancer and were in treatment in the locals refered. With criteria established and using the sampling procedure by convenience were included 21 women in the study and that were in the locals of collected during the months from April to July 2010. Used like instrument to obtain the dates a structured interview guide with sociodemographic dates and disease history, the Inventory of Symptoms of Stress to Adults of Lipp (ISSL) and the Ways of Coping Scale (WCS). The dates were stored and analysed in the SPSS program version 17.0, calculating mean and standard deviation to continuous variable, frequency percentage to categorically and the tests 2 and ANOVA in the verification of association among variables. All the analyses a p value<0.05 was considered statistically significant. The mean of age was 57,76 (DP=13,2), the instruction level was low average four to six years, the family income had a mean of R$966,00 (DP=0,4) and observed the mean of two children by women. Most of women (85,7%) had breast cancer with surgical indication like treatment, having most indication to realize total mastectomy (42,9%). From the total women, 42,8% had indication to realize neoadjuvant chemotherapy like complementary therapy. The stress diagnostic were present in 66,7% of sample while in 33,3% of patients it was not observed. From patients that were with stress, the mean phases were alarm (33,3%) and resistance (33,3%). In the group with stress, the mean type of coping used was the search for religious practice (42,8%) and in the group without stress observed the focus on the problem in the most of women (23,7%), having association statistically significant between these variables (test 2 ; p=0,007). The means of ages, income and number of children among women and the relation with the type of coping not demonstred association statistically significant with the test F of Snedecor (ANOVA). The research demonstred that the women with breast cancer were significantly stressed and used like way of coping the religious practice, having not occurrence of stress among women that were looking to face the disease of a resolving way. Anyway the stress situations caused by breast cancer request a response of women, be a more adaptive response or not, thus, the woman need to find the possible mechanism to be used in the coping process. It is believed that in this aspect the nursing have an important role to realize in order to mediate the more adapter responses in the disease’s situation.

Recognizing the peculiarities involving the prostitution, activity practiced by many women, we decided to undertake this study. This is a survey in the city of Fortaleza, aiming to know the activities of the daily life of prostitutes; to identify the determinants factors specific of the life activities of prostitutes in the gynecological consultation of nursing; Check the contributions of the Model for Life Activities of Roper, Logan and Tierney in the care of nursing with prostitutes. The survey had a quantitative and qualitative approach. The data were collected at two points. In the first moment, we use a form of structured interview in the months of May and June 2007 on the occasion of gynecological consultation at the Center for Natural Childbirth (CPN) and the technique of free observation. For the second time, we used a structured route to interview, with a focus in the activities of life that showed changes in the first time. The interviews were conducted in the months of September and October 2007, in the homes and work places of prostitutes, and the data were recorded by the researcher in own forms and the data of observation were recorded in a diary. Part 42 women for the first time and 6 women in the second time. We use the Model Activity of Life of Roper, Logan and Tierney as a mark theoretical. We organized the words according to the twelve activities of life components of the Model, which include: Maintaining a safe environment, Communicate, Breathing, Eating and drinking, Eliminating, Personal career and dressing, Checking the body temperature, Mobilize, Working and distracting, Expressing sexuality, Sleeping and Death. The results showed the main vulnerabilities and events of this population, who were present in all activities at life of prostitutes, decisive factor for the maintenance for these women’s life quality. We can see that prostitution can cause damage to the lives of prostitutes since it entails limits to the adoption styles of living more healthy. Moreover, the use of the Model activity of life for Roper, Logan and Tierney facilitated the holistic approach of caring, showing it is capable of being adapted to the different stages of life and the various people attended. Thus, knowing the activities of life of prostitutes can direct the actions aimed at the customers, because that denotes the vulnerabilities that permeate the daily life of women.

Violence represents the crystallization of real voids produced due to the negligence of public policies, social and cultural inequality, poverty, unemployment, among other reasons. This phenomenon reaches everyone, equally, including the child, who may suffer several kinds of violence, such as sexual abuse. Facing this reality, one highlights that not only the victim, but also the family structure as a whole is affected by the consequence of such phenomenon. One aimed to understand the perception of mothers about sexual abuse suffered by their daughters. The institution where the study was conducted was a non-governmental organization in the city of Fortaleza – Ce – Brazil. A qualitative research was conducted, having as subjects 10 mothers of children who were victims of sexual abuse. The data were collected from February through March, 2007, obtained through semi-structured interview and recorded, for analysis and organization one used the collective subject’s discourse technique. One noticed that the CSD of the interviewees brings several feelings of mothers who had their daughters sexually abused, the first ones had feelings of powerlessness, guilt and suffering, living with an unrecoverable pain. One highlighted the fact that the violence is extremely functional, as it reaches its goal, destroys, marks and kills. Despair was present in some depositions, relating suicidal and homicidal ideas, especially on the part of the interviewee. One still observed that, after discovering the sexual abuse suffered by the child, the family’s destruction becomes clear. The phenomenon brings disastrous consequences, not saving even the elements creators of the family, the family destruction becomes stronger due to changes in the victim’s behavior, which varies between rebelliousness, low school grades, up till self-mutilation. One noticed that sexual abuse, not always is known by all the family members and the taboo around this illicit subject becomes a “wall of silence” from all the members, against the external world. It was possible to notice, in the speeches, the will to see the victims recover from the pain caused by the violence, for doing so, highlighting that the type of sexual abuse, relationship with the abuser, duration of abuse and resistance of the victim, are elements that interfere in the consequences and recovering. One observed, however, the existence of anxiety in removing the consequences left by the sexual abuse in the daughter’s life, the hope to soften, even “erase” all the pain, as well as changes in the behavior, showed by the daughter. After all, one highlights that due to the different feelings, these facts represent a reason to think about the urgency in creating a system of social support. One emphasizes the importance of professionals prepared to attend, directly and indirectly, the victims of child sexual abuse as well as the victim’s relatives.

The objective of this study is to identify the costs involved in managing water resourcesin Ceará, a role of responsibility of the Water Resources Management Company. After identifying these costs, some methods of settlement are discussed, identifying which is best suited to Ceará’s reality. Through cost sharing, we identify the appropriate allocation of these and apply a method of charging for water usage. In this valueare included the costs of operation, management, operation and infrastructure, the latter usually ignored in the methods used to calculate the value of the tariff to be charged. When learning about the infrastructure during this research, we found that there is more than a billion dollars invested in the state of Cearafocused on the management of water resources, not including the costs of thetransposition of São Francisco River. After the cost sharing method, the Average Tariff used by the Consortium Tahal - JP Environment was applied to calculate the Average Tariff by Industry in each section. As a result, we have that the tariff charged is currently below the rate needed to cover operation costs, administration, maintenance and infrastructure.
