Pesquisa qualitativa com o objetivo de descrever as experiências vivenciadas pelos enfermeiros da atenção primária sobre saúde do trabalhador. Realizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas com enfermeiros da Estratégia de Saúde da Família em Mossoró, Brasil, entre outubro e dezembro de 2010. A partir da análise temática, evidenciaram-se: ações em Saúde do Trabalhador fundamentadas nos modelos da Medicina do Trabalho e da Saúde Ocupacional; dificuldades relacionadas à Comunicação de Acidente de Trabalho, ao trabalho da Estratégia de Saúde da Família, à vida do trabalhador, à lógica da produtividade das empresas e à formação do enfermeiro; e a existência dos Centros de Referencia em Saúde do Trabalhador e o desejo dos trabalhadores em aprender como possibilidades de superação. Consolidar a Saúde do Trabalhador na Atenção Primária à Saúde perpassa a co-responsabilidade da gestão, formação e serviços de saúde em rever concepções e práticas sobre a relação trabalho e saúde.

The tale of a Cornish family of engine manufacturers is traced from John Harvey's moving of his forge to the coast and building of Cornwall's first iron foundry in 1779 to the sale of the entire port of Hayle in ten lots in 1983. It was the skill and resources of John Harvey and his son Henry, Richard Trevithick's in-laws, that allowed the building of Trevithick's successful boiler based on Watt's and others' ideas about high-pressure steam, leading to Harvey & Co. building the finest steam pumping engines for mines and municipalities throughout the world in a small Cornish village with neither iron nor coal. The history of the company's various enterprises and personalities is recounted with highlights ranging from battles and lawsuits over the harbour to the fate of the first full-scale steam carriage, which boiled itself dry and was burnt up when its passengers left it forgotten in a ditch while they repaired to a nearby inn. The subject index includes the names of many Cornish mines but also three references to "Peruvian mines", two to "South African mines", one to Union Gold Mining Company (Virginia) and two to Australia., 1 bib., 1 ind., The tale of a Cornish family of engine manufacturers is traced from John Harvey's moving of his forge to the coast and building of Cornwall's first iron foundry in 1779 to the sale of the entire port of Hayle in ten lots in 1983.

Brief Brazilian case studies of sand mining near Sao Paolo, the Aguas Claras iron ore mine, former crushed stone quarries in Curitiba, the Pitinga tin mines and the Carajas iron ore mine indicate that economic and financial tools may be more effective than direct legislative controls in getting firms to comply with environmental standards, particularly in developing countries where environmental compliance is more difficult to achieve. The use of performance bonding, one type of economic incentive that has proved effective in mine planning and closure, is explained and the possibility is considered of a flexible bonding and insurance system that would allow governments to maintain strict environmental standards while limiting the financial exposure of companies during the mining process., Brief Brazilian case studies of sand mining near Sao Paolo, the Aguas Claras iron ore mine, former crushed stone quarries in Curitiba, the Pitinga tin mines and the Carajas iron ore mine indicate that economic and financial tools may be more effective than direct legislative controls in getting firms to comply with environmental standards, particularly in developing countries where environmental compliance is more difficult to achieve.

Of the three basic stages which characterise mineral developments (exploration, development and operation), the greatest shortfall in terms of valuation procedures and criteria is in exploration. This is especially true at properties which do not conform to a known deposit type. The lack of objective geotechnical information is detrimental to the effectiveness of using the discounted cash flow method. The evaluation process should always address geological assurance, engineering conception and economic-financial modelling. Discussion is presented of the conceptual relationship between the criteria used by the mining industry to evaluate and select its investment opportunities and its capacity to attract the necessary flow of funds to support long-term growth. The mining industry cannot afford to underestimate the damage inflicted by cases such as Bre-X and should be seen to be reviewing procedures in order to reassure investors and financiers over its commitment to good practice., Of the three basic stages which characterise mineral developments (exploration, development and operation), the greatest shortfall in terms of valuation procedures and criteria is in exploration.

After a period of political, legal and economic constraints from 1984 to 1994, Brazil is becoming relatively attractive to foreign mining companies again. Inflation has fallen below 10%. Foreign debt has been renegotiated and consolidated; an increased portion of inflowing capital is now allocated to the long term, while almost 30% of foreign debt represents the participation of the private sector. Specific changes have brought the tax rate closer to those of other Latin American countries, although generalised reform of taxes has yet to begin. Further structural measures are being taken to reduce other internal costs such as transport costs. While per capita consumption of minerals is very low, the stabilising economy is improving demand. Investment in prospecting and exploration during 1996 is estimated to have been almost US, After a period of political, legal and economic constraints from 1984 to 1994, Brazil is becoming relatively attractive to foreign mining companies again.

The results show that a woman’s ratings of male attractiveness can be explained by simple physical characteristics, in particular the waist-chest ratio (WCR). However, unlike female physical attractiveness, it is shape that is important for male attractiveness and not size. Women prefer men whose torso has an “inverted triangle” shape (ie, a narrow waist and a broad chest and shoulders). This is a shape consistent with physical strength and muscle development in the upper body. The BMI of the body is comparatively unimportant. By contrast, for female attractiveness the BMI accounts for more than 74% of the variance and WCR does not even reach significance. This is unlikely to be the result of differences in the way males and females rate the attractiveness of images, because women rate female bodies in exactly the same way that men do, with BMI as the primary determinant of attractiveness.
