O PORTAL DO CADERNO DE CIDADANIA COMO FERRAMENTA DE INCLUSÃO DIGITAL

Este artigo trata do desenvolvimento de um portal digital para divulgar as ações executadas pelo projeto de extensão da UNIVALI/Cejurps - Programa de Formação e Assessoria em Cidadania Infanto-juvenil - que possui o objetivo de ser uma ferramenta de inclusão digital para crianças e adolescentes. No portal existe um espaço para divulgar novidades, eventos, publicação de artigos, novas parcerias e um fórum para manter contato com os administradores e esclarecer dúvidas na interação com as crianças e os adolescentes. No trabalho de extensão foi utilizado para elaboração do portal e do jogo digital o método indutivo, já que cada etapa foi elaborada e trabalhada detalhadamente para obter-se o resultado final, qual seja, o sítio na internet, com a criação de um jogo digital. O método de procedimento foi o empírico, já que se obteve o auxílio de crianças e adolescentes para a elaboração de cada etapa, fortalecendo o papel da criança como ator social, na busca de um resultado mais efetivo e condizendo com a realidade das crianças

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

Fuel consumption of a sugarcane harvester in different operational settings

ABSTRACT The interventions performed during the mechanized harvesting are essential to improve the operational performance of sugarcane harvesters and reduce operational costs. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the fuel consumption of a sugarcane harvester in different forward speeds and engine rotations. Harvesting was conducted in a green cane plot, with the variety RB 855156. Flow meters were installed in the harvester's fuel supply system and an electronic device was used for data acquisition. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design in a factorial scheme (3 x 2), using three engine rotations and two forward speeds, with six replicates. Harvesting capacity and fuel consumption per hour, per area and per ton of harvested sugarcane were analyzed. The results were subjected to analysis of variance and means were compared by Tukey test. The variations in engine rotation did not affect the performance for harvesting capacity, but influenced fuel consumption. Forward speed influenced both harvesting capacity and fuel consumption
