Experiência de profissionais de saúde da família com pessoas com fendas orofaciais no Brasil

INTRODUCTION: Orofacial clefts are among the most prevalent birth defects worldwide. Specialized treatment and surveillance of basic health needs are critical. Few studies have investigated primary care practitioners' experience in caring for individuals with clefts. OBJECTIVE: It was to describe experience and current interest of family care practitioners on the management of individuals with clefts. METHODS: Observational cohort of 104 practitioners from Maceió (AL) e Campinas (SP). Demographic, academic and professional characteristics, didactic experience and desire in continuing education on clefts were assessed using a questionnaire RESULTS:Seventy-four practitioners were located in Maceió and 30 in Campinas. Female gender and low academic qualification were predominant. Physicians and nurses prevailed over dentists, 78 (75%) participants had clinical experience with clefts. Use of protocols was mentioned by 3/104 (2.9%), provision of information on clefts by 58/104 (56%) and referrals to the Brazilian Reference Network by 7/104 (6.7%). Almost 50% reported didactic experience and 94%, desire on continuing education in this field CONCLUSION: Results corroborate the literature and reinforce the need of improving family care practitioners' skills to manage individuals with clefts. Education and strengthen ties between primary level of the health system and specialized teams must be focused. Some strategies are presented in this regard.INTRODUÇÃO: As fendas orofaciais estão entre os mais prevalentes defeitos congênitos em todo o mundo. Atenção especializada e vigilância de necessidades básicas de saúde são críticas no cuidado aos indivíduos. OBJETIVO: Foi descrever a experiência e o interesse de profissionais da Estratégia Saúde da Família no acompanhamento de indivíduos com fendas orofaciais. MÉTODOS: Coorte observacional com 104 profissionais de Maceió (AL) e Campinas (SP). Características demográficas, acadêmicas e profissionais, bem como a experiência didática e o desejo por educação continuada, foram colhidas por meio de questionário. RESULTADOS: Setenta e quatro profissionais atuavam em Maceió e 30 em Campinas. O gênero feminino e a baixa qualificação acadêmica foram predominantes. Médicos e enfermeiros prevaleceram sobre dentistas, e 78 (75%) participantes tinham experiência clínica com fendas. O uso de protocolos foi mencionado por 3/104 (2,9%), a oferta de informações sobre fendas por 58/104 (56%) e o encaminhamento para unidades especializadas da Rede de Referência por 7/104 (6,7%). Cerca de 50% dos participantes referiram experiência didática e 94%, desejo por educação continuada CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados corroboram a literatura e reforçam a necessidade de melhorar a capacitação de profissionais nesta área. Para tanto, são apresentadas estratégias para promover educação e reforçar laços entre a atenção básica e equipes especializadas.23724

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

Projeto conceitual aplicado no desenvolvimento de um carrinho de mão ergonômico

No setor da construção civil, um equipamento de importância é o carrinho de mão. As atividades exercidas pelos operadores da construção civil são facilitadas em cenários que exigem o transporte de materiais mediante o uso do carrinho de mão. Porém, existe uma lacuna de informações que buscam alternativas de carrinho de mão que considerem o escopo da ergonomia e que facilitem a operação. Nesse contexto, o artigo consiste em apresentar um conceito de carrinho de mão ergonômico. Na metodologia, aplicou-se um questionário semiestruturado em 20 trabalhadores de uma empresa de construção civil. Como resultados, o estudo apresentou um projeto conceitual de um carrinho de mão ergonômico, solucionando as necessidades observadas pelos operadores, visando propor um produto que reduza os esforços, por meio de uma operação segura e que diminua o tempo de execução das tarefas.In the civil construction sector, an important piece of equipment is the wheelbarrow. The activities carried out by the civil construction operators are facilitated in such scenarios that require materials transportation using the wheelbarrow. However, there is an information gap that seeks alternatives for types of wheelbarrow considering ergonomics scope and operations facilities. In this context, the article consists of presenting a concept of ergonomic wheelbarrow. In the methodology, a semi-structured questionnaire was applied to 20 workers from a construction company. As a result, the study presented a conceptual design of an ergonomic wheelbarrow, solving the needs observed by operators, aiming to propose a product that reduces efforts, through a safe operation and reducing the time to perform tasks
