Natal moderna nas décadas de 1930-1950: influência moderna na sociedade potiguar

O trabalho busca conhecer as transformações urbanas, sociais e econômicas da sociedade potiguar em meio ao período moderno nas décadas de 1930-1950. O estudo relata momentos ocorridos na cidade do Natal neste período e realiza uma análise sobre a modernidade e o seu impacto sobre a cidade e seus habitantes. O trabalho foi baseado em documentos e memórias de acontecimentos destas décadas e obras de historiadores sobre o referido tema, tornando-se base para a construção da história da Natal moderna durante o recorte temporal delimitado. Aborda-se na pesquisa os antecedentes da urbanização da cidade do Natal, destacando-se as transformações da modernidade na estrutura física da cidade. O estudo destaca ainda a chegada da luz elétrica na cidade e a expansão e formação dos bairros da cidade de Natal, o qual foram se adequando a modernidade da época, sofrendo transformações em sua arquitetura, paisagismos e entre outros fatores. A pesquisa trata a influencia moderna na sociedade potiguar e a mudança de sua vida social e apresenta ainda uma reflexão sobre um “natalense moderno da Natal moderna”, o qual vislumbra a evolução da cidade e a sua influência nos hábitos, costumes e valores do povo potiguar. Contudo, acredita-se ser importante investigar a história cultural de nosso estado, deslocando a atenção para as transformações que influenciaram as pessoas na época estudada, bem como analisar a sua interferência nos dias atuais, sendo assim sempre campo de pesquisas futuras

Aedes aegypti breeding site in an underground rainwater reservoir: a warning

We describe the discovery of Aedes aegypti underground breeding site in the Pinheiros neighborhood of São Paulo, SP, during an entomological survey program performed in 2016. Even with intense surveillance and vector control, large numbers of mosquitoes were present in this area. A detailed investigation allowed for the detection of Ae. aegypti in an underground reservoir used for rainwater storage. After the implementation of protection screens in the accesses, the presence of the vector was no longer detected. In this study, we discuss the frequent use of this type of reservoir structure and its risk for mosquito production.Descreve-se o encontro de criadouro subterrâneo de Aedes aegypti no bairro de Pinheiros, São Paulo, SP, ocorrido durante um programa de levantamento entomológico, realizado em 2016. Mesmo com intensa vigilância e controle vetorial, grande quantidade de mosquitos estava presente nessa área. Investigação minuciosa permitiu a detecção de Ae. aegypti em reservatório subterrâneo para armazenamento de água pluvial. Após a implantação de telas de proteção nos acessos, não foi mais detectada a presença do vetor. O uso frequente desse tipo de estrutura e o seu risco para a produção de mosquitos é discutido

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

O perfil semiológico do paciente portador de hemorragia digestiva alta

OBJETIVO: O seguinte estudo objetivou descrever a semiologia do paciente portador de hemorragia digestiva alta, considerando como determinante na avaliação de potencias focos hemorrágicos. METODOLOGIA: Foram realizadas buscas nas plataformas do SciELO, LILACS, PubMed, Scopus e Google Scholar,utilizando os descritores gastrointestinal bleeding, peptic ulcerous disease e varicose hemorrhage, sendo identificados 35 estudos, dos quais foram incluídos 13 artigos completos. Desses estudos, 5 avaliaram as principais etiologias, 2 o surgimento de novos testes diagnósticos, 2 analisaram os aspectos epidemiológicos e 1 a sintomatologia apresentada pelo acometimento da hemorragia digestiva alta. Observou-se inicialmente a abundâncias de informações conceituais sobre o sangramento, como um transtorno clínico comum, acompanhada de inúmeras manifestações, considerando que o foco hemorrágico pode ocorrer em qualquer porção do trato gastrointestinal. Neste estudo, todas as publicações eleitas apresentaram o quadro semiológico composto por algia abdominal, indícios de choque hipovolêmico e taquicardia, alguns exibiram quedas abruptas da pressão arterial, odinofagia, êmese, náuseas e estado ictérico. Os pacientes implicados, cronicamente, já manifestaram ocorrências prévias, devido ao caráter recidivante torna-se essencial investigar a existência de varizes, fístula aorto-entérica, angiodisplasia e doença ulcerosa. CONCLUSÃO: Elucida-se que a hemorragia digestiva alta representa a principal causa de sangramento do trato gastrointestinal, majoritamente manifesta-se como hematêmese ou melena e cursam com o quadro sintomatológico que auxilia na avaliação da gravidade deste e o embasamento de potenciais focos de sangramento e que contribuam para disseminação de informações e intervenções futuras
