ALERTA BRUSQUE: aprimorando o aplicativo sobre as cheias do rio Itajaí- Mirim

Ao longo da história foram registradas várias cheias e alagamentos na Bacia do Vale do Itajaí, sendo os primeiros relatos datados de 1862, quando os primeiros colonizadores chegaram a Brusque. Nesse sentido, a Defesa Civil de Brusque conta com alguns dispositivos para prevenção de catástrofes, já que o município é o que mais sofre com as constantes cheias e alagamentos do rio Itajaí-Mirim. Dessa forma, o aprimoramento do aplicativo “Alerta Brusque”, da Defesa Civil, torna-se imprescindível para a resolução dos problemas da comunidade e para amenizar os impactos das cheias do rio na vida da população local

REUSETECH Conscientização ambiental sobre reutilização de equipamentos de informática

No mundo, há um problema com o lixo, incluindo o lixo tecnológico. A sociedade não sabe como proceder com esse tipo de lixo, especialmente computadores mais antigos. Mesmo se esses computadores não atingem mais seus propósitos iniciais, eles ainda podem ser usados para outros propósitos, como fins educacionais. Para conscientizar as pessoas dos novos tipos de uso e contribuir com um processo industrial responsável, este projeto: recolhe computadores e peças, os estudam, os consertam, os reinstalam e, se não puderem ser reutilizados, os descartam em locais adequados. Essas ações promovem reflexão sobre: produção de lixo eletrônico, possibilidade de reaproveitamento de recursos, e desenvolvimento sustentável.   &nbsp

MICROCONTROLADOR ARDUINO NO APRIMORANDO DO APLICATIVO ALERTA BRUSQUE SOBRE AS CHEIAS DO RIO ITAJAÍ-MIRIM NA PREVENÇÃO A DESASTRES NATURAIS

O município de Brusque tem sofrido as conseqüências e os impactos econômicos e sociais das cheias do rio Itajaí-Mirim ao longo da história. Nesse sentido, a Defesa Civil desenvolveu o aplicativo “Alerta Brusque”, como um instrumento de prevenção às catástrofes naturais no município. O desenvolvimento de um sistema de medição do nível do rio, tendo como base o microcontrolador Arduino e sensores Ultrassônicos de modelo HC-SR04, possibilitará o aumento da capacidade de monitoramento do rio e o alerta da população para as possibilidades de cheias com antecedência maior e com amplas possibilidades de evacuação da área e proteção dos munícipes

LITERATURA E FILOSOFIA: : A narrativa de formação presente nas tragédias de Sófocles

A presente pesquisa é fruto do Projeto de Pesquisa em Literatura e Filosofia desenvolvido noInstituto Federal Catarinense, campus Brusque, que investigou e analisou a presença danarrativa de formação nas sete tragédias de Sófocles: Édipo Rei, Édipo em Colono, Antígona,Ájax, Filoctetes, Electra e As Traquínias . O objetivo foi definir a noção de narrativa deformação e detectar e explicitar em que sentido ela existe nas tragédias sofocleanas. Para isso,a metodologia de pesquisa utilizada foi a bibliográfica e, para as análises textuais, foi utilizadauma adaptação combinada de métodos filosóficos: o perspectivismo nietzschiano (leitura eanálise conjunta), a fenomenologia husserliana (adaptada para extrair o sentido originário dostextos) e a ontologia do presente de inspiração arendtiana (atualização do sentido dos textos).Os resultados obtidos mais significativos apontam para a presença da narrativa de formaçãoem todas as tragédias de Sófocles, mas com variedades na potencialidade formativa de cadapeça. Conclui-se que a literatura sofocleana, em maior ou menor intensidade, contémelementos de narrativa de formação, sendo uma matriz de possibilidades formativas para o serhumano

Avaliação de Macroinvertebrados Bentônicos em Viveiros Escavados em Londrina-PR.

Biomonitoring with the use of benthic macroinvertebrates has been an effective tool used to evaluate water quality in several water bodies. In this context, there are several factors that can act on the structure of macroinvertebrate commuinities, with indications of the influence of aquaculture. Therefore, the present study evaluated the composition of macroinvertebrate populations in two earthen ponds of a fish farm in Londrina-PR. Three collections were carried out: in October of 2015 and February and July of 2016, with the use of artificial biocolectors. The macroinvertebrates were quantified and identified, and diversity indexes were calculated with the data obtained. Higher number of taxa, higher number of individuals and greater diversity and uniformity in macroinvertebrate communities were found in pond 1 (water entrance), due mainly to the presence of taxa tolerant or resistant to organic pollution, which may be related to the higher concentration of nutrients and organic matter in this pond. However, in pond 2 (water outlet), individuals of Polycentropodidae (Trichoptera) were found in all collections, in addition to a low abundance of taxa that would indicate organic enrichment, demonstrating better water quality. Furthermore, greater abundance and diversity were observed in the months with higher level of precipitation. From the perspective of aquaculture, the results found in pond 1 can be used as indicative of greater productive potential, however, the low frequency of taxa typical of clean environments may indicate low oxygen levels.These results demonstrate that the position of the pond relative to the water source in a fish farm can influence the water quality, which can be verified through the structure of the benthic macroinvertebrates communities

ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS: a data set of bird morphological traits from the Atlantic forests of South America

Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds the highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has been increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, and in how climate, topography, and anthropogenic pressures may explain and affect phenotypic variation. Because morphological data are not always available for many species at the local or regional scale, we are limited in our understanding of intra- and interspecies spatial morphological variation. Here, we present the ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS, a data set that includes measurements of up to 44 morphological traits in 67,197 bird records from 2,790 populations distributed throughout the Atlantic forests of South America. This data set comprises information, compiled over two centuries (1820–2018), for 711 bird species, which represent 80% of all known bird diversity in the Atlantic Forest. Among the most commonly reported traits are sex (n = 65,717), age (n = 63,852), body mass (n = 58,768), flight molt presence (n = 44,941), molt presence (n = 44,847), body molt presence (n = 44,606), tail length (n = 43,005), reproductive stage (n = 42,588), bill length (n = 37,409), body length (n = 28,394), right wing length (n = 21,950), tarsus length (n = 20,342), and wing length (n = 18,071). The most frequently recorded species are Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 1,837), Turdus albicollis (n = 1,658), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 1,468), Turdus leucomelas (n = 1,436), and Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 1,384). The species recorded in the greatest number of sampling localities are Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 243), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 242), Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 210), Platyrinchus mystaceus (n = 208), and Turdus rufiventris (n = 191). ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS (ABT) is the most comprehensive data set on measurements of bird morphological traits found in a biodiversity hotspot; it provides data for basic and applied research at multiple scales, from individual to community, and from the local to the macroecological perspectives.

Evaluation of a quality improvement intervention to reduce anastomotic leak following right colectomy (EAGLE): pragmatic, batched stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized trial in 64 countries

Background Anastomotic leak affects 8 per cent of patients after right colectomy with a 10-fold increased risk of postoperative death. The EAGLE study aimed to develop and test whether an international, standardized quality improvement intervention could reduce anastomotic leaks. Methods The internationally intended protocol, iteratively co-developed by a multistage Delphi process, comprised an online educational module introducing risk stratification, an intraoperative checklist, and harmonized surgical techniques. Clusters (hospital teams) were randomized to one of three arms with varied sequences of intervention/data collection by a derived stepped-wedge batch design (at least 18 hospital teams per batch). Patients were blinded to the study allocation. Low- and middle-income country enrolment was encouraged. The primary outcome (assessed by intention to treat) was anastomotic leak rate, and subgroup analyses by module completion (at least 80 per cent of surgeons, high engagement; less than 50 per cent, low engagement) were preplanned. Results A total 355 hospital teams registered, with 332 from 64 countries (39.2 per cent low and middle income) included in the final analysis. The online modules were completed by half of the surgeons (2143 of 4411). The primary analysis included 3039 of the 3268 patients recruited (206 patients had no anastomosis and 23 were lost to follow-up), with anastomotic leaks arising before and after the intervention in 10.1 and 9.6 per cent respectively (adjusted OR 0.87, 95 per cent c.i. 0.59 to 1.30; P = 0.498). The proportion of surgeons completing the educational modules was an influence: the leak rate decreased from 12.2 per cent (61 of 500) before intervention to 5.1 per cent (24 of 473) after intervention in high-engagement centres (adjusted OR 0.36, 0.20 to 0.64; P < 0.001), but this was not observed in low-engagement hospitals (8.3 per cent (59 of 714) and 13.8 per cent (61 of 443) respectively; adjusted OR 2.09, 1.31 to 3.31). Conclusion Completion of globally available digital training by engaged teams can alter anastomotic leak rates. Registration number: NCT04270721 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov)
