Permanent education in health: a review
OBJECTIVE : To undertake a meta-synthesis of the literature on the main concepts and practices related to permanent education in health. METHODS : A bibliographical search was conducted for original articles in the PubMed, Web of Science, LILACS, IBECS and SciELO databases, using the following search terms: âpublic health professional educationâ, âpermanent educationâ, âcontinuing educationâ, âpermanent education healthâ. Of the 590 articles identified, after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 48 were selected for further analysis, grouped according to the criteria of key elements, and then underwent meta-synthesis. RESULTS : The 48 original publications were classified according to four thematic units of key elements: 1) concepts, 2) strategies and difficulties, 3) public policies and 4) educational institutions. Three main conceptions of permanent education in health were found: problem-focused and team work, directly related to continuing education and education that takes place throughout life. The main strategies for executing permanent education in health are discussion, maintaining an open space for permanent education, and permanent education clusters. The most limiting factor is mainly related to directly or indirect management. Another highlight is the requirement for implementation and maintenance of public policies, and the availability of financial and human resources. The educational institutions need to combine education and service aiming to form critical-reflexive graduates. CONCLUSIONS : The coordination between health and education is based as much on the actions of health services as on management and educational institutions. Thus, it becomes a challenge to implement the teaching-learning processes that are supported by critical-reflexive actions. It is necessary to carry out proposals for permanent education in health involving the participation of health professionals, teachers and educational institutions.OBJETIVO : Realizar metasĂntesis de la literatura sobre los principales conceptos y prĂĄcticas relacionados con la educaciĂłn permanente en salud. MĂTODOS : Se realizĂł bĂşsqueda bibliogrĂĄfica de artĂculos originales en las bases de datos PubMed, Web of Science, Lilacs, IBECS y SciELO, utilizando los siguientes descriptores: â public health professional educationâ, âpermanent educationâ, âcontinuing educationâ, âpermanent education health â. De un total de 590 artĂculos identificados, posterior a los criterios de inclusiĂłn y exclusiĂłn, fueron seleccionados 48 para anĂĄlisis, los cuales fueron sometidos al anĂĄlisis individual, anĂĄlisis comparativo, anĂĄlisis con criterios de agrupamiento de elementos-clave y sometidos a metasĂntesis. RESULTADOS : Los 48 artĂculos originales fueron clasificados como elementos-clave en cuatro unidades temĂĄticas: 1) Concepciones; 2) Estrategias y dificultades; 3) PolĂticas pĂşblicas e 4) Instituciones formadoras. Se encontraron tres concepciones principales de educaciĂłn permanente en salud: ubicaciĂłn del problema y enfocarlo en el trabajo en equipo, directamente relacionado con la educaciĂłn continua y educaciĂłn que se da a lo largo de la vida. Las principales estrategias para efectivar la educaciĂłn permanente fueron la ubicaciĂłn del problema, mantenimiento de espacios para la educaciĂłn permanente y polos de educaciĂłn permanente. El mayor factor limitante estuvo relacionado con la gerencia directa o indirecta. Fueron mencionadas la necesidad de implementaciĂłn y mantenimiento de polĂticas pĂşblicas, asĂ como la disponibilidad de recursos financieros y humanos. Las instituciones formadoras tendrĂan la necesidad de articular educaciĂłn y servicio para la formaciĂłn de egresados crĂticos-reflexivos. CONCLUSIONES : La articulaciĂłn educaciĂłn y salud se encuentra pautada tanto en las acciones de los servicios de salud, cuanto en la gestiĂłn y de instituciones formadoras. AsĂ, se torna un desafĂo implementar procesos de educaciĂłn-aprendizaje que sean respaldados por acciones crĂtico-reflexivas. Es necesario realizar propuestas de educaciĂłn permanente en salud con la participaciĂłn de profesionales de los servicios, profesores y profesionales de las instituciones de educaciĂłn.OBJETIVO : Realizar metassĂntese da literatura sobre os principais conceitos e prĂĄticas relacionados Ă educação permanente em saĂşde.

Leishmania infection in a population of dogs: an epidemiological investigation relating to visceral leishmaniasis control
Performance of CMS muon reconstruction in pp collision events at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV
The performance of muon reconstruction, identification, and triggering in CMS
has been studied using 40 inverse picobarns of data collected in pp collisions
at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV at the LHC in 2010. A few benchmark sets of selection
criteria covering a wide range of physics analysis needs have been examined.
For all considered selections, the efficiency to reconstruct and identify a
muon with a transverse momentum pT larger than a few GeV is above 95% over the
whole region of pseudorapidity covered by the CMS muon system, abs(eta) < 2.4,
while the probability to misidentify a hadron as a muon is well below 1%. The
efficiency to trigger on single muons with pT above a few GeV is higher than
90% over the full eta range, and typically substantially better. The overall
momentum scale is measured to a precision of 0.2% with muons from Z decays. The
transverse momentum resolution varies from 1% to 6% depending on pseudorapidity
for muons with pT below 100 GeV and, using cosmic rays, it is shown to be
better than 10% in the central region up to pT = 1 TeV. Observed distributions
of all quantities are well reproduced by the Monte Carlo simulation.Comment: Replaced with published version. Added journal reference and DO
Compressed representation of a partially defined integer function over multiple arguments
In OLAP (OnLine Analitical Processing) data are analysed in an n-dimensional cube. The cube may be represented as a partially defined function over n arguments. Considering that often the function is not defined everywhere, we ask: is there a known way of representing the function or the points in which it is defined, in a more compact manner than the trivial one

Azimuthal anisotropy of charged particles at high transverse momenta in PbPb collisions at sqrt(s[NN]) = 2.76 TeV
The azimuthal anisotropy of charged particles in PbPb collisions at
nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV is measured with the CMS
detector at the LHC over an extended transverse momentum (pt) range up to
approximately 60 GeV. The data cover both the low-pt region associated with
hydrodynamic flow phenomena and the high-pt region where the anisotropies may
reflect the path-length dependence of parton energy loss in the created medium.
The anisotropy parameter (v2) of the particles is extracted by correlating
charged tracks with respect to the event-plane reconstructed by using the
energy deposited in forward-angle calorimeters. For the six bins of collision
centrality studied, spanning the range of 0-60% most-central events, the
observed v2 values are found to first increase with pt, reaching a maximum
around pt = 3 GeV, and then to gradually decrease to almost zero, with the
decline persisting up to at least pt = 40 GeV over the full centrality range
measured.Comment: Replaced with published version. Added journal reference and DO
