Quando a empresa trabalha em prol da qualidade de vida de seus colaboradores é possível que se obtenha um clima organizacional favorável e um maior compromisso de todas as partes. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo avaliar a qualidade de vida laboral dos trabalhadores e identificar as principais variáveis que podem apresentar associação com a motivação dos profissionais de uma empresa de chicotes elétricos situada ao norte do estado de Santa Catarina. Para tal, foram realizados os seguintes questionários: sócio econômico e o Quality of Working Life Questionnarie –Bref. A aplicação de 89 questionários ocorreu entre os meses de agosto e outubro de 2018. Consecutivamente, cinco variáveis foram verificadas relacionando as chances para o fator motivação. Foram tratadas estatisticamente por meio do software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), versão 21.0. Com base nos resultados obtidos com a pesquisa foi possível perceber que determinados aspectos tem potencial de melhoria, sendo o exemplo mais nítido a relação entre líderes e subordinados, principalmente no que se refere à igualdade de tratamento entre eles. O estudo sugere que o trabalhador casado e o homem que realiza atividade física 1 ou 2 vezes por semana apresenta chances de maior motivação no trabalho (OR=1,22; IC95% 1,09–1,48) e (OR=2,49; IC95% 1,27–10,4) respectivamente, (p<0,05).

Diabetes mellitus is among the chronic diseases considered emergencies. Products obtained from medicinal plants have been used for thousands of years by the population in the treatment of various diseases. The objective of this work was to evaluate the possible effects of inputs obtained from the artichoke (Cynara scolumus L.) on biochemical markers in diabetic rats. The dry extract was obtained by hydroethanolic (70% v / v) maceration. Male Wistar rats were treated with alloxan (150 mg / kg of mass dissolved in 0.9% saline) intraperitoneally. The extract (0.2g extract / kg) was given in normal and diabetic rats for 30 days. Animals from the Control and Diabetes groups received only water. Biochemical markers were determined in the serum by enzymatic colorimetric method. The chemical characterization was performed quantifying the total polyphenol content (Folin-Ciocalteau) and quantification of the total flavonoid in dry extract (1 mg / mL), by the complexation method with aluminum chloride. The evaluation of fasting blood glucose was positive, when considered that the glycemic levels from "diabetic group" was partially higher when compared with "water group", "extract group" and "diabetic extract group". The treatment with extract for the diabetic animals also prevented significantly the serum levels of fructosamine and presented serum levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides significantly lower than non-treated animals. However, the treatment with artichoke extract was able to control glycemic levels at short and medium term, showing an improvement in lipid profile.
