Percepção dos professores sobre o ensino remoto emergencial durante a pandemia da Covid-19, na Vila de Carapajó/Cametá, Pará

Com a pandemia da COVID-19 espalhada pelo mundo, medidas de contenção foram impostadas pelas autoridades governamentais, que fizeram com que uma nova situação fosse colocada diante da realidade escolar. Professores e alunos ficaram cada vez mais distantes fisicamente e conectados por meio de um único recurso possível, a tecnologia. Este trabalho apresenta como tema o Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE) e tem como objetivo compreender a percepção dos professores sobre o ERE, tendo como abordagem um pesquisa exploratória que teve como procedimentos a coleta de dados acerca das opiniões dos professores de uma escola pública localizada no interior do estado do Pará, sobre a utilização das Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDIC) no Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE) durante a pandemia. Foram aplicados questionários e realizado entrevistas a 23 professores. Durante o estudo foi observado que a maioria dos professores permaneceram ministrando aulas de maneira remota e disponibilizando materiais para seus alunos. Contudo, observou-se que não foi ofertado curso de capacitação para a utilização de recursos tecnológicos aos professores. Identificamos também limitações de acesso à internet e aos equipamentos eletrônicos por parte de alguns alunos. Por essas razões, a maioria (65,2%) dos professores relataram que o ERE tem caráter intermediário, colocando-o como mais um desafio em sua formação continuada nas escolas públicas brasileiras

Análise comparativa das cirurgias torácicas nas regiões do Brasil nos últimos 12 anos: um estudo observacional e descritivo

The objective of this study is to analyze the comparison of the numbers and amounts spent per hospitalization, mortality rates, average days of stay and number of deaths between the regions of Brazil, with regard to thoracic surgeries arising from the Unified Health System. This is a descriptive observational study, using data collected at the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS), together with Health Information (TABNET) in the tab "SUS Hospital Procedures - By Place of Hospitalization - Brazil", covering all the regions of Brazil, referring to patients who underwent thoracic surgeries between the period 2010 to 2022. The variables analyzed were: Admissions, Average Stay, Deaths, Mortality Rate, Average AIH Value and Total Value. From the data obtained, a discrepancy was evident between the mean values ​​of hospitalizations, deaths and mortality rates in thoracic surgical procedures throughout Brazil. Technological levels and financial investments are being put to the test in relation to Brazilian thoracic surgery, as the North region proposed the lowest mortality rate and the lowest investment per hospitalization, compared to the others.  El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la comparación de los números y valores gastados por hospitalización, tasas de mortalidad, promedio de días de estancia y número de muertes entre las regiones de Brasil, en lo que respecta a las cirugías torácicas provenientes del Sistema Único de Salud. estudio observacional descriptivo, utilizando datos recolectados en el Departamento de Informática del Sistema Único de Salud (DATASUS), junto con Información de Salud (TABNET) en la pestaña "Trámites Hospitalarios SUS - Por Lugar de Hospitalización - Brasil", abarcando todas las regiones de Brasil, referente a los pacientes que se sometieron a cirugías torácicas entre el período 2010 a 2022. Las variables analizadas fueron: Ingresos, Estancia Promedio, Defunciones, Tasa de Mortalidad, Valor Promedio de AIH y Valor Total. A partir de los datos obtenidos, se evidenció una discrepancia entre los valores medios de hospitalizaciones, muertes y tasas de mortalidad en procedimientos quirúrgicos torácicos en todo Brasil.

Fluid overload: clinical outcomes in pediatric intensive care unit

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of fluid overload related to mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, and evolution to discharge or death in critically ill children. Methods: A retrospective study in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for two years. Patients who required invasive ventilatory support and vasopressor and/or inotropic medications were considered critically ill. Results: 70 patients were included. The mean age was 6.8 ± 6 years. There was a tolerable increase in fluid overload during hospitalization, with a median of 2.45% on the first day, 5.10% on the third day, and 8.39% on the tenth day. The median fluid overload on the third day among those patients in pressure support ventilation mode was 4.80% while the median of those who remained on controlled ventilation was 8.45% (p = 0.039). Statistical significance was observed in the correlations between fluid overload measurements on the first, third, and tenth days of hospitalization and the beginning of renal replacement therapy (p = 0.049) and between renal replacement therapy and death (p = 0.01). The median fluid overload was 7.50% in patients who died versus 4.90% in those who did not die on the third day of hospitalization (p = 0.064). There was no statistically significant association between death and the variables sex or age. Conclusions: The fluid overload on the third day of hospitalization proved to be a determinant for the clinical outcomes of weaning from mechanical ventilation, initiation of renal replacement therapy, discharge from the intensive care unit, or death among these children

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora
