El proceso de construcción de la política de formación de los funcionarios de la educación

O artigo é o resultado de uma pesquisa documental de cunho qualitativo que teve como objetivo compreender o processo de criação da Política Nacional de Formação dos Profissionais da Educação Básica, além de discutir o papel do Estado em sua elaboração. O estudo, desenvolvido com elementos da abordagem do ciclo de políticas de Stephen J. Ball, permitiu identificar a atuação da sociedade civil constatando que o surgimento de uma política não está submetido somente à racionalidade estatal, mas sujeito a influências externas. A análise também evidenciou a construção de um percurso em torno de um projeto emancipatório, de atendimento a reinvindicações sociais, para a formação profissional dos funcionários da educação.The article is the result of a qualitative documentary research whose objective was to understand the process of creation of the National Policy for the Training of Primary Education Professionals, besides discussing the role of the State in its elaboration. The study, developed with elements of Stephen J. Ball’s policy cycle approach, allowed us to identify the performance of civil society by showing that the emergence of a policy is not subject only to state rationality but subject to external influences. The analysis also evidenced the construction of a course around an emancipatory project, of attendance to social claims, for the professional formation of the education employees.El artículo es el resultado de una investigación documental de cuño cualitativo que tuvo como objetivo comprender el proceso de creación de la Política Nacional de Formación de los Profesionales de la Educación Básica, además de discutir el papel del Estado en su elaboración.

A pesquisa na formação de professores de Física: as produções da Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações no período 2012-2017

This study refers to bibliographic research, which aimed to identify the orientation in master's and doctoral studies in the field of physics teacher education available in the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations within the 2012-2017 period. The corpus of analysis consisted of abstracts, with the search conducted for the keywords physics teaching and teacher education, and the theoretical framework was Bakhtinian discourse analysis. Our results indicate that research on physics teacher education prioritizes investigations on initial education. In the field of continuing education, they represent occasional initiatives. We note that researchers address the teacherinterlocutor with authoritarian and prescriptive speeches, pointing at how the work should be done by the latter. However, partnerships for working on reflections about possibilities to overcome particular challenges remain modest.Este estudo refere-se a uma pesquisa bibliográfica que teve como objetivo identificar os direcionamentos das pesquisas em nível de mestrado e doutorado no campo da formação de professores de física, disponíveis na Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações, no período de 2012 a 2017. O corpus de análise se constituiu dos resumos, com busca realizada a partir das palavras-chave ensino de física e formação de professores, tendo como aporte teórico a análise do discurso bakhtiniana. Nossos resultados indicam que as pesquisas vinculadas à formação do professor de física priorizam investigações na formação inicial. No campo da formação continuada mostram-se, prioritariamente, como iniciativas pontuais. Notamos que os pesquisadores se dirigirem ao interlocutor professor a partir de falas autoritárias e prescritivas, indicando como deve ser feito o seu trabalho. Todavia, as parcerias de trabalho de reflexão das possibilidades de superação dos desafios locais permanecem tímidas

COVID-19 infection in adult patients with hematological malignancies: a European Hematology Association Survey (EPICOVIDEHA)

Background: Patients with hematological malignancies (HM) are at high risk of mortality from SARS-CoV-2 disease 2019 (COVID-19). A better understanding of risk factors for adverse outcomes may improve clinical management in these patients. We therefore studied baseline characteristics of HM patients developing COVID-19 and analyzed predictors of mortality. Methods: The survey was supported by the Scientifc Working Group Infection in Hematology of the European Hematology Association (EHA). Eligible for the analysis were adult patients with HM and laboratory-confrmed COVID19 observed between March and December 2020. Results: The study sample includes 3801 cases, represented by lymphoproliferative (mainly non- Hodgkin lymphoma n=1084, myeloma n=684 and chronic lymphoid leukemia n=474) and myeloproliferative malignancies (mainly acute myeloid leukemia n=497 and myelodysplastic syndromes n=279). Severe/critical COVID-19 was observed in 63.8% of patients (n=2425). Overall, 2778 (73.1%) of the patients were hospitalized, 689 (18.1%) of whom were admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). Overall, 1185 patients (31.2%) died. The primary cause of death was COVID19 in 688 patients (58.1%), HM in 173 patients (14.6%), and a combination of both COVID-19 and progressing HM in 155 patients (13.1%). Highest mortality was observed in acute myeloid leukemia (199/497, 40%) and myelodysplastic syndromes (118/279, 42.3%). The mortality rate signifcantly decreased between the frst COVID-19 wave (March–May 2020) and the second wave (October–December 2020) (581/1427, 40.7% vs. 439/1773, 24.8%, p value<0.0001). In the multivariable analysis, age, active malignancy, chronic cardiac disease, liver disease, renal impairment, smoking history, and ICU stay correlated with mortality. Acute myeloid leukemia was a higher mortality risk than lymphoproliferative diseases. Conclusions: This survey confrms that COVID-19 patients with HM are at high risk of lethal complications. However, improved COVID-19 prevention has reduced mortality despite an increase in the number of reported cases

Decoding the historical tale: COVID-19 impact on haematological malignancy patients—EPICOVIDEHA insights from 2020 to 2022

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic heightened risks for individuals with hematological malignancies due to compromised immune systems, leading to more severe outcomes and increased mortality. While interventions like vaccines, targeted antivirals, and monoclonal antibodies have been effective for the general population, their benefits for these patients may not be as pronounced. Methods: The EPICOVIDEHA registry (National Clinical Trials Identifier, NCT04733729) gathers COVID-19 data from hematological malignancy patients since the pandemic's start worldwide. It spans various global locations, allowing comprehensive analysis over the first three years (2020–2022). Findings: The EPICOVIDEHA registry collected data from January 2020 to December 2022, involving 8767 COVID-19 cases in hematological malignancy patients from 152 centers across 41 countries, with 42% being female. Over this period, there was a significant reduction in critical infections and an overall decrease in mortality from 29% to 4%. However, hospitalization, particularly in the ICU, remained associated with higher mortality rates. Factors contributing to increased mortality included age, multiple comorbidities, active malignancy at COVID-19 onset, pulmonary symptoms, and hospitalization. On the positive side, vaccination with one to two doses or three or more doses, as well as encountering COVID-19 in 2022, were associated with improved survival. Interpretation: Patients with hematological malignancies still face elevated risks, despite reductions in critical infections and overall mortality rates over time. Hospitalization, especially in ICUs, remains a significant concern. The study underscores the importance of vaccination and the timing of COVID-19 exposure in 2022 for enhanced survival in this patient group. Ongoing monitoring and targeted interventions are essential to support this vulnerable population, emphasizing the critical role of timely diagnosis and prompt treatment in preventing severe COVID-19 cases.
