Procedimentos Lúdicos e Cultura.

O objetivo deste trabalho é refletir sobre o procedimento lúdico presente no processo de transmissão de conhecimentos e de socialização em uma comunidade específica. Em grande parte responsável pela sobrevivência dos membros e manutenção da cultura da comunidade, esse processo já atravessa algumas gerações e tem como âncora os afazeres cotidianos. Permeando esses afazeres, existe uma atitude descontraída, um espaço aberto para diferentes brincadeiras e algazarras, que convivem com as atividades sem prejudicar seus objetivos. O que parece ser sério pode tomar dimensões ‘lúdicas’, como se pudessem se entreter constantemente durante suas atividades diárias. Isto não significa, entretanto, que a ‘postura lúdica’ traduza uma intenção, ou uma estratégia pedagógica dos adultos para transmitir conhecimentos aos mais jovens. As brincadeiras, na verdade, retratam uma forte característica do espírito desse grupo e, desvinculadas ou associadas a seus afazeres, servem de canal privilegiado para importantes ensinamentos, além de amenizar e compartilhar a dureza que acompanha o seu dia-a-dia. Os laços culturais são também reforçados por festejos e danças. É justamente nessa dinâmica das relações sociais que as crianças aprendem papéis, lugares e valores sociais. Aprender o que e quando dizer ou ocultar. Vão aprendendo tanto esquemas de sobrevivência quanto esquemas interpretativos da realidade em que estão inseridos

Evaluation of quality control viral load HIV results from two laboratories in Maputo, after the 3rd Congress of Laboratory Quality Control for Portuguese-Speaking Countries, Mozambique

The Project of Laboratory Quality Improvement for Portuguese Speaking Countries (ProMeQuaLab) is based on three major work tools: education, training and monitoring of quality control measures, in order to build capacity to implement and sustain good laboratory practices. Since 2015, a biennial congress on quality control is organised which includes also courses in this field. The third edition of the Congress was held in Mozambique in May 2019. Theoretical and practical courses concerning internal (CQI) and external quality control (EQA), calculation of Total Error (TE) and Measurement Uncertainty (MU) were held. Two practical work sessions were organized, with the trainers of the quality control courses and trainees from two laboratories, Centro Criança Dream (Dream) and Laboratório de Virologia Molecular (INS) in Maputo (Mozambique), to applied the statistical tools to evaluate their quality control results of viral load HIV from 2018. Evaluation of viral load is strongly recommended by WHO for monitoring response to retroviral treatment. The objective of this work was the implementation of the concepts and tools of the assessment of bias and uncertainty presented in the quality control courses and their application on the quantitative quality control results from 2018 of RNA viral load HIV-1 from two laboratories from Maputo. The concepts and tools presented in quality control courses were applied to quality control results of two laboratories in Maputo (Mozambique) for the measure of imprecision, bias and measurement uncertainty. The courses and the work sessions have proved to be very effective in transferring knowledge and skills and therefore should be continued with other laboratories. The results of the bias and measurement uncertainty show that the INS laboratory (Cobas Ampliprep TaqMan96) had a better performance in comparison to the Dream laboratory (Abbott m2000). Effort must be made to continue the education program, namely the interpretation of the quality control results to achieve an improvement of the evaluation of patient results.N/

Common Law, Charity, and Human Rights as Responses to the Socio-Economic Crisis in Galicia, Spain

This article presents the findings of a research project analyzing the effects of the Spanish socio-economic crisis on rural areas. It describes the perceptions of social workers in the public sector engaged in community practice and the perceptions of social leaders working for public and private human service organizations within the province of Ourense, Spain. It explores how the current economic crisis has affected people, health care units and the social workers’ scope of action. The study relied on secondary data, surveys and qualitative interviews. Study findings suggest that the adopted measures for responding to the effects of the crisis have been scarce. The primary responses to the crisis include privatization of human services and the transfer of responsibility from government to civil society organizations. Instead of focusing on charity, this study in Galicia, Spain proposes a greater focus on rural social work and on the promotion and defense of human rights by civic and other organizations

Aspectos históricos da dança do ventre e sua prática no Brasil

Dance is regarded as one of the oldest art forms, which is based on evidence from prehistoric paintings found in caves; man expressed himself through body language prior to the development of spoken and written forms of communication. Dance was then used during important events, common to their era and culture, and often in religious rituals, to ensure good harvests – their economic activity. Belly-dance appeared approximately eight thousand years B.C.E. as a sacred dance firstly practiced by priestesses, and after that, it was popularized amongst women from Mesopotamia. Virtually considered an ancient form of physical exercise, it is still practiced by Bedouin women as a preparation for spontaneous delivery. In Brazil, belly-dance is widely practiced and our corporal culture enables its learning and improvement, resulting in professional dancers.A dança é considerada a mais antiga das artes, por evidências encontradas em desenhos nas cavernas pré-históricas; o homem se expressou antes pela linguagem do corpo e posteriormente pela fala e escrita. Os povos antigos utilizaram a dança em fatos importantes de sua época e cultura, muitas vezes em rituais religiosos com vistas para se obter uma boa colheita - seu modo econômico vigente. A dança do ventre nasceu aproximadamente 8.000 anos a.C. como uma dança sagrada. Ao início era praticada por sacerdotisas, e posteriormente por todas as mulheres da Mesopotâmia. Praticamente uma ginástica da Antiguidade, até os dias atuais é utilizada pelas mulheres beduínas como exercícios preparatórios para o parto normal. No Brasil, é bastante praticada, e nossa cultura corporal favorece seu aprendizado e aperfeiçoamento, promovendo a formação de dançarinas profissionais

Combination of essential oils and antibiotics against Streptococcus suis: a preliminary study

Streptococcus suis is a major pathogen in the pig industry, associated with a wide variety of pigs diseases, such as meningitis, arthritis, bronchopneumonia, endocarditis, polyserositis and septicaemia. In addition, it is a zoonotic agent causing severe infections in people related with infected pigs or pork-derived products. The control of the disease is based on the antimicrobial therapy and sanitary measures, since there are not available commercial vaccines yet
