TRABALHO, FRONTEIRA E MIGRANTES BOLIVIANOS NA CIDADE DE CORUMBÁ/MS: UMA ANÁLISE À LUZ DA CONSTITUIÇÃO FEDERAL DE 1988 E DO DIREITO AO PLENO EXERCÍCIO DA CIDADANIA

O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar os resultados do plano de trabalho intitulado “ANÁLISE DA DINÂMICA DO FLUXO MIGRATÓRIO NA FRONTEIRA BRASILEIRA CORUMBÁ/PUERTO QUIJARRO E SUAS CONSEQUÊNCIAS SOBRE A ESFERA DE DIREITOS DA PESSOA HUMANA, integrante da proposta de PIBIC/CNPq vigente de agosto de 2015 a julho de 2016. A pesquisa analisou o fluxo migratório na fronteira anteriormente citada, analisando esse fenômeno social na esfera dos direitos fundamentais da pessoa humana e no âmbito social. O projeto de pesquisa foi desenvolvido por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica, bem como do trabalho de campo por meio da observação participativa, onde foram obtidos dados relevantes no campo social e jurídico. Como resultado da pesquisa, verificou-se que as leis brasileiras são insuficientes para abranger as especificidades do tema proposto, chegando-se à conclusão de que o fenômeno migratório e a esfera de direitos do migrante estão em dissonância no que tange à efetividade dos direitos trabalhistas, evidenciando-se a necessidade de maior discussão para propositura de possíveis alterações em nosso ordenamento jurídico de forma a se abranger o empreendedorismo como ferramenta eficaz no acesso do migrante à cidadania.Palavras-chave: Migração nas Fronteiras.

Curso de medicina veterinária da UFPEL para atuação com animais silvestres / UFPEL Veterinary Medicine Course for Wildlife

A atuação do médico veterinário de animais silvestres vem crescendo nos últimos anos, com isso, a procura de estudantes da graduação e pós-graduação nesta área também está aumentando. Desse modo, as universidades estão tendo que se adequar a esta demanda, visto que muitos currículos não possuem esta especificidade em sua grade. O presente trabalho tem objetivo de avaliar o papel do NURFS-CETAS/UFPEL na formação de graduandos do curso de medicina veterinária e pós-graduandos de Programas da área na Universidade Federal de Pelotas. 

Decrease in hepatitis B prevalence among blood donors in Central-West Brazil

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to estimate hepatitis B virus seroprevalence among first-time blood donors in the city of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul State, in the central-western region of Brazil. FINDINGS: A retrospective analysis of first-time voluntary blood donor records, from January 2010 to December 2010, was conducted at the Hematology Center of Mato Grosso do Sul. The prevalence of the HBsAg and anti-HBc serological markers and their respective 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Chi-square analysis was performed between the seroprevalence previously found in 2001 and the one determined by the current study. Results were considered statistically significant if p < 0.05. Among 8,840 subjects, 269 (3.04%, 95% CI: 2.7-3.4) were positive for HBV markers. The prevalence rate of HBsAg was 0.19% (95% CI: 0.1-0.3) and anti-HBc alone was 2.85% (95% CI: 2.5-3.2). CONCLUSIONS: There was no statistically significant difference regarding gender. However, an important association was observed between HBV infection and older age (p < 0.01). The seroprevalence of HBV infection in first-time blood donors diminished from 2001 to 2010 (p < 0.01). Such decrease suggests an improvement in the recruitment of safe donors, the positive impact of vaccination programs and the decreasing of HBV infection prevalence in the general population

DIOCTOPHYMA RENALE (GOEZE, 1782) COLLET- MEYGRET, 1802 (DIOCTOPHYMATIDAE) EM GALICTIS CUJA (MOLINA, 1782) (MUSTELIDAE) NO RIO GRANDE DO SUL, BRASIL

The objective of the study was to record the occurrence of Dioctophyma renale (Goeze, 1782) Collet- Meygret, 1802 in Galictis cuja Molina, 1782 in southern Brazil. Three specimens of G. cuja were found dead by running over on highways in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and sent to the Laboratory of Parasitology of Wild Animals of the Federal University of Pelotas. Helminths were collected from the kidneys and the abdominal cavity with a mean intensity of infection of 4.66 helminths / host. In Brazil, D. renale had been reported parasitizing G. cuja only in the state of Paraná. Dioctophyma renale is reported for the first time in G. cuja in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.O objetivo do trabalho foi registrar a ocorrência de Dioctophyma renale (Goeze, 1782) Collet- Meygret, 1802, em Galictis cuja Molina, 1782 no sul do Brasil. Três espécimes de G. cuja foram encontrados mortos por atropelamento em rodovias no município de Pelotas, Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil e encaminhados ao laboratório de Parasitologia de Animais Silvestres da Universidade Federal de Pelotas. Os helmintos foram coletados dos rins e cavidade abdominal com intensidade média de infecção de 4,66 helmintos/hospedeiro. No Brasil, D. renale foi relatado parasitando G. cuja somente no Estado do Paraná. Registra-se a primeira ocorrência de D. renale em G. cuja no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil

Are mental health problems and depression associated with bruxism in children?

Renner AC, da Silva AAM, Rodriguez JDM, Simoes VMF, Barbieri MA, Bettiol H, Thomaz EBAF, Saraiva MC. Are mental health problems and depression associated with bruxism in children? Community Dent Oral Epidemiol 2011. (C) 2011 John Wiley & Sons A/S Abstract Objectives: Previous studies have found an association between bruxism and emotional and behavioral problems in children, but reported data are inconsistent. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of bruxism, and of its components clenching and grinding, and its associations with mental problems and depression. Methods: Data from two Brazilian birth cohorts were analyzed: one from 869 children in Ribeirao Preto RP (Sao Paulo), a more developed city, and the other from 805 children in Sao Luis SL (Maranhao). Current bruxism evaluated by means of a questionnaire applied to the parents/persons responsible for the children was defined when the habit of tooth clenching during daytime and/or tooth grinding at night still persisted until the time of the assessment. Additionally, the lifetime prevalence of clenching during daytime only and grinding at night only was also evaluated. Mental health problems were investigated using the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and depression using the Childrens Depression Inventory (CDI). Analyses were carried out for each city: with the SDQ subscales (emotional symptoms, conduct problems, peer problems, attention/hyperactivity disorder), with the total score (sum of the subscales), and with the CDI. These analyses were performed considering different response variables: bruxism, clenching only, and grinding only. The risks were estimated using a Poisson regression model. Statistical inferences were based on 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results: There was a high prevalence of current bruxism: 28.7% in RP and 30.0% in SL. The prevalence of clenching was 20.3% in RP and 18.8% in SL, and grinding was found in 35.7% of the children in RP and 39.1% in SL. Multivariable analysis showed a significant association of bruxism with emotional symptoms and total SDQ score in both cities. When analyzed separately, teeth clenching was associated with emotional symptoms, peer problems, and total SDQ score; grinding was significantly associated with emotional symptoms and total SDQ score in RP and SL. Female sex appeared as a protective factor for bruxism, and for clenching and grinding in RP. Furthermore, maternal employment outside the home and white skin color of children were associated with increased prevalence of teeth clenching in SL. Conclusions: Mental health problems were associated with bruxism, with teeth clenching only and grinding at night only. No association was detected between depression and bruxism, neither clenching nor grinding. But it is necessary to be cautious regarding the inferences from some of our results
