An Adaptive Framework for Selecting Environmental Monitoring Protocols to Support Ocean Renewable Energy Development

Offshore renewable energy developments (OREDs) are projected to become common in the United States over the next two decades. There are both a need and an opportunity to guide efforts to identify and track impacts to the marine ecosystem resulting from these installations. A monitoring framework and standardized protocols that can be applied to multiple types of ORED would streamline scientific study, management, and permitting at these sites. We propose an adaptive and reactive framework based on indicators of the likely changes to the marine ecosystem due to ORED. We developed decision trees to identify suites of impacts at two scales (demonstration and commercial) depending on energy (wind, tidal, and wave), structure (e.g., turbine), and foundation type (e.g., monopile). Impacts were categorized by ecosystem component (benthic habitat and resources, fish and fisheries, avian species, marine mammals, and sea turtles) and monitoring objectives were developed for each. We present a case study at a commercial-scale wind farm and develop a monitoring plan for this development that addresses both local and national environmental concerns. In addition, framework has provided a starting point for identifying global research needs and objectives for understanding of the potential effects of ORED on the marine environment

Implantation and Implementation of Living Pharmacies-Therapeutic Gardens in Primary Health Care Services in the city of Campinas-SP

Em 2015 foi criado o Grupo de Plantas Medicinais e Fitoterápicos, do Laboratório de Práticas Alternativas, Complementares e Integrativas em Saúde (LAPACIS), do Departamento de Saúde Coletiva, da Faculdade de Ciências Médicas/ Unicamp, que está desenvolvendo o projeto Implantação e Implementação da Farmácia Viva na Rede Municipal de Saúde de Campinas/SP em parceria com a Secretaria Municipal de Saúde (SMS). O objetivo deste artigo é relatar a experiência do Grupo de Fitoterapia e Plantas Medicinais do LAPACIS/UNICAMP, evidenciando sua contribuição para a implantação de Farmácias Vivas (FV) em Campinas. A partir de 2017 foram realizadas visitas técnicas e capacitações em plantas medicinais em 18 centros de saúde (CS) que viabilizou em 2018 a escrita da Cartilha de Plantas Medicinais – SUS Campinas/ SP. Em 2019 o projeto recebeu um prêmio de Menção Honrosa e de Melhor Trabalho do Sudeste, o que permitiu a continuidade do projeto e a inclusão de mais 23 CS no projeto. Em 2021 foi realizado um diagnóstico que evidenciou a importância das FV para a promoção da saúde, e no cuidado da saúde mental de trabalhadores de saúde e usuários dos serviços. Foi observado também que durante a pandemia, muitas FV deixaram de existir, devido à alocação dos trabalhadores para ações associadas à COVID-19. Observamos ainda que o cuidar das plantas promoveu um resgate da relação com a natureza, e dos saberes populares e tradicionais. Porém temos algumas fronteiras a serem ultrapassadas como apoio dos gestores distritais, e a sensibilização dos coordenadores e das equipes dos CS.In 2015, the Medicinal Plants and Herbal Medicines Group was created, from the Laboratory of Alternative, Complementary and Integrative Health Practices (LAPACIS), from the Department of Collective Health, Faculty of Medical Sciences/ Unicamp, which is developing the project: Implantation and Implementation of a Living Pharmacy in the Municipal Health Network of Campinas/SP, in partnership with the Municipal Health Secretariat (SMS). The objective of this article is to report the experience of the Phytotherapy and Medicinal Plants Group of LAPACIS/UNICAMP, highlighting its contribution to the implementation of Living Pharmacies (LF) in Campinas. As of 2017,technical visits and training on medicinal plants were carried out in 18 health centers, which made it possible in 2018 to write the Medicinal Plant Booklet – SUS Campinas/SP. In 2019, the project received an Honorable Mention and Best Work from the Southeast award, which allowed the continuity of the project and the inclusion of another 23 health centers in the project. In 2021, a diagnosis was carried out that showed the importance of LF for health promotion, and in the mental health care of health workers and service users. It was also observed that during the pandemic, many LF ceased to exist, due to the allocation of workers to actions associated with COVID-19. We also observed that taking care of plants promoted a recovery of the relationship with nature, and of popular and traditional knowledge. However, we have some frontiers to be crossed with the support of district managers, and the awareness of coordinators and health center teams

Formación docente y educación física en las escuelas: foco en Argentina, Brasil, México y Venezuela

El Sistema Educativo de los países investigados está organizado, en líneas generales, en cuatro niveles con pocas variaciones en su terminología y muchas proximidades en sus objetivos, sentidos sociales y etapas etarias. En el caso argentino, el documento legal en vigencia es la Ley Nacional de Educación 26.206 que establece los lineamientos del sistema Educativo Argentino, y determina cuatro niveles educativos: “Artículo 17.- La estructura del Sistema Educativo Nacional comprende cuatro (4) niveles –la Educación Inicial, la Educación Primaria, la Educación Secundaria y la Educación Superior– y ocho (8) modalidades” (Ley 26.206, 2006). Además, se propone la adecuación de los contenidos según el contexto en el cual se desarrollen, siendo este punto un indicador de un modo de pensar la enseñanza y un punto fundacional en la creación de las “modalidades” dentro del sistema.Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educació

Impact of COVID-19 on cardiovascular testing in the United States versus the rest of the world

Objectives: This study sought to quantify and compare the decline in volumes of cardiovascular procedures between the United States and non-US institutions during the early phase of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the care of many non-COVID-19 illnesses. Reductions in diagnostic cardiovascular testing around the world have led to concerns over the implications of reduced testing for cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. Methods: Data were submitted to the INCAPS-COVID (International Atomic Energy Agency Non-Invasive Cardiology Protocols Study of COVID-19), a multinational registry comprising 909 institutions in 108 countries (including 155 facilities in 40 U.S. states), assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on volumes of diagnostic cardiovascular procedures. Data were obtained for April 2020 and compared with volumes of baseline procedures from March 2019. We compared laboratory characteristics, practices, and procedure volumes between U.S. and non-U.S. facilities and between U.S. geographic regions and identified factors associated with volume reduction in the United States. Results: Reductions in the volumes of procedures in the United States were similar to those in non-U.S. facilities (68% vs. 63%, respectively; p = 0.237), although U.S. facilities reported greater reductions in invasive coronary angiography (69% vs. 53%, respectively; p < 0.001). Significantly more U.S. facilities reported increased use of telehealth and patient screening measures than non-U.S. facilities, such as temperature checks, symptom screenings, and COVID-19 testing. Reductions in volumes of procedures differed between U.S. regions, with larger declines observed in the Northeast (76%) and Midwest (74%) than in the South (62%) and West (44%). Prevalence of COVID-19, staff redeployments, outpatient centers, and urban centers were associated with greater reductions in volume in U.S. facilities in a multivariable analysis. Conclusions: We observed marked reductions in U.S. cardiovascular testing in the early phase of the pandemic and significant variability between U.S. regions. The association between reductions of volumes and COVID-19 prevalence in the United States highlighted the need for proactive efforts to maintain access to cardiovascular testing in areas most affected by outbreaks of COVID-19 infection

Predictors of missed HIV screening opportunities among newly diagnosed individuals at an urban medical center in New York City, 2018-2022.

ObjectiveTo identify demographic and clinical factors predictive of having a missed opportunity (MO) for HIV screening.DesignRetrospective cohort study.MethodsElectronic medical records were queried for individuals newly diagnosed with HIV in different sites within a large urban academic medical center in New York City between 2018 and 2022. The primary outcome was having one or more MO for HIV screening within the institution, defined as any encounter at which screening was not performed in the 365 days preceding the HIV diagnosis.ResultsOver one third of new diagnoses had at least one MO in the preceding year. Older individuals, cisgender women and those assigned female sex at birth, and heterosexual individuals were more likely to have at least one MO. An initial CD4 ConclusionsThese findings suggest that populations perceived to be at lower risk for HIV are more likely to have MOs and possibly late diagnoses, and that universal HIV screening must be implemented into the workflows of emergency department and outpatient settings to facilitate early diagnosis and reduce the incidence of HIV
