    RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar curso online na perspectiva do egresso e verificar a relação entre variáveis. Método Estudo quantitativo, descritivo e exploratório, aplicado aos participantes no final de três versões de um curso de atualização onlinena temática de Gerenciamento em Enfermagem. Resultados Os índices de satisfação nas três categorias elencadas, em três anos, apresentaram resultados acima de 75,0%. Os coeficientes obtidos indicaram alta consistência do questionário. Considerando o índice total, a categoria Desempenho do tutor foi a de índice mais alto. Fortes associações entre Autoavaliação e Desempenho do tutor, Autoavaliação e Programa do curso e Desempenho do tutor e Programa do curso foram identificadas. Não houve associação entre as três categorias referidas com as demais variáveis do estudo. Conclusão Os egressos demonstraram satisfação com o curso, que favoreceu a interação e a promoção do conhecimento coletivo no gerenciamento em enfermagem. Foram reconhecidos, também, aspectos que carecem de melhorias, com destaque à capacitação do tutor para mediar discussões e estimular o envolvimento do estudante ao longo do curso

    PREVALENCE OF CHAGAS DISEASE IN A RURAL AREA IN THE STATE OF CEARA, BRAZIL

    SUMMARY Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and affects about two to three million people in Brazil, still figuring as an important public health problem. A study was conducted in a rural area of the municipality of Limoeiro do Norte - CE, northeastern Brazil, aiming to determine the prevalence of T. cruzi infection. Of the inhabitants, 52% were examined, among whom 2.6% (4/154) were seropositive in at least two serological tests. All seropositive individuals were older than 50 years, farmers, with a low education and a family income of less than three minimum wages. Active surveillance may be an alternative for early detection of this disease

    Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil: setting the baseline knowledge on the animal diversity in Brazil

    The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others
