DIAGNÓSTICO AMBIENTAL DO CÓRREGO DO BÁLSAMO, IBIRITÉ – MG, POR MEIO DE UM PROTOCOLO DE AVALIAÇÃO RÁPIDA

Com o objetivo de analisar a qualidade ambiental de um trecho de 1,7 km do córrego do Bálsamo (Ibirité – MG), foi empregado, entre fevereiro a outubro de 2017, em períodos chuvosos e secos, o Protocolo de Avaliação Rápida de rios proposto por Callisto e colaboradores. A área analisada apresentou quatro pontos considerados alterados e 36 pontos considerados naturais. Elevadas precipitações melhoraram o estado de conservação do córrego, conforme o resultado do Teste-t. Foi demonstrado, pelo teste Kruskal-Wallis, que as categorias de uso e ocupação do solo em torno deste curso d’água influenciaram expressivamente em sua qualidade. Ao verificar as possíveis diferenças entre estas categorias, pelo teste de Mann-Whitney, foi constatado que as residências e as atividades de agricultura ou silvicultura reduziram significativamente a qualidade ambiental do córrego do Bálsamo. Esse estudo permitiu conhecer os impactos incidentes sobre esta microbacia e assim propor medidas adequadas para a sua conservação

Uso do WhatsApp em um grupo de educação em saúde com mulheres

Objetivo: Analisar o uso de Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação e a interação em um grupo de educação em saúde com mulheres no WhatsApp.Metodologia: Pesquisa qualitativa com mães pertencentes a duas Unidades Básicas de Saúde de Sinop - MT incluídas em um Projeto de Extensão que utilizou estratégias educativas em saúde (“Dia G”, “Dicas em saúde” e “Vídeo Educativo”) e membros da equipe do projeto. Os dados foram coletados entre outubro-dezembro de 2021, a partir das mensagens no grupo de WhatsApp e submetidos à Análise de Conteúdo Temática.Resultados: Foram identificadas duas categorias, as quais mostram as informações disponibilizadas pela equipe e as solicitadas pelas mães pontualmente; que as dúvidas manifestadas pelas mães mobilizaram a comunicação-interação entre os participantes e que pouca ou nenhuma interação foi suscitada pelas informações de saúde contidas nas estratégias educativas utilizadas. Considerações finais: O WhatsApp mostrou-se como importante recurso/estratégia na comunicação-interação para educação em saúde com mulheres.Palavras-chave: Tecnologia da informação. Educação em saúde. Saúde da mulher. Atenção primária à saúde

The challenges in the application of educational strategies for doctors in the Programa Mais Médicos do Brasil (PMMB): An analytical-descriptive study

This article analyzes the challenges faced for the application of educational strategies for physicians in the Programa Mais Médicos of Brasil (“More Physicians”) and the contributions of these professionals to the work processes of Family Health teams with a focus on achieving comprehensiveness of health care and the expansion of health care. access to hard-to-reach regions. It is a documentary analysis of a descriptive nature, which includes from laws and regulations, norms, opinions, letters, memo, personal diaries, autobiographies, newspapers, magazines, speeches, radio and television program scripts to books, statistics and files schoolchildren. The results indicate that there is a need for dynamic flexibility in educational actions, focusing on the needs of the population and regions that host the program to reduce care inequities and favor the strengthening of bonds between staff and users in order to provide comprehensive care . Among the challenges, we can highlight the program\u27s contribution to the reduction of practices segmented by professional categories, subordinated to the (bio)medical figure and knowledge, with limited interprofessional and team-community interaction in the construction of common care and interconstitutive knowledge. However, it could be concluded that the contribution of the doctors of the “Mais Médicos” Program in Brazil, in addition to reducing inequities and expanding access to healthcare for the population, also contributes to the deconstruction of the hegemonic medical model, taking into account the importance of interdisciplinary knowledge for the success of comprehensive health care. In addition, it reiterates the importance of dynamic actions focusing on local and territorial reality for educational strategies, as territories have peculiar characteristics, developing the critical-reflective process of professionals and capable of solving demands in different regions

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Multiple Scenario Generation of Subsurface Models:Consistent Integration of Information from Geophysical and Geological Data throuh Combination of Probabilistic Inverse Problem Theory and Geostatistics

Neutrinos with energies above 1017 eV are detectable with the Surface Detector Array of the Pierre Auger Observatory. The identification is efficiently performed for neutrinos of all flavors interacting in the atmosphere at large zenith angles, as well as for Earth-skimming \u3c4 neutrinos with nearly tangential trajectories relative to the Earth. No neutrino candidates were found in 3c 14.7 years of data taken up to 31 August 2018. This leads to restrictive upper bounds on their flux. The 90% C.L. single-flavor limit to the diffuse flux of ultra-high-energy neutrinos with an E\u3bd-2 spectrum in the energy range 1.0 7 1017 eV -2.5 7 1019 eV is E2 dN\u3bd/dE\u3bd < 4.4 7 10-9 GeV cm-2 s-1 sr-1, placing strong constraints on several models of neutrino production at EeV energies and on the properties of the sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays

Fatores de risco para o câncer de colo do útero em mulheres reclusas

Objetivou-se identificar os fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento do câncer de colo uterino em mulheres reclusas. Estudo descritivo, de corte transversal, realizado em um instituto penal feminino cearense. A seleção da amostra do estudo ocorreu de acordo com a disponibilidade de presidiárias no momento da coleta, totalizando 36 reclusas. Referente aos riscos para o câncer cervical, 16 mulheres (44,5%) eram tabagistas, 24 (70,5%) já fizeram uso do contraceptivo oral por um tempo médio de 46 meses, 24 (66,6%) apresentaram coitarca com idade inferior a 15 anos; 26 (72,2%) faziam uso de preservativo, porém 10 (38,4%) o usavam raramente. Tais achados demonstram que a população encarcerada apresenta maior vulnerabilidade ao câncer de colo uterino, sendo necessária a promoção da saúde no ambiente, visto que tal momento se configura como uma oportunidade singular
