Comunicação nas redes sociais como mobilizador social: estudo de caso da utilização do facebook pelo Ministério da Saúde (julho a setembro de 2012)

O presente estudo propõe avaliar como o uso das redes sociais pode ser utilizado por órgãos públicos para promoção social e aproximação com seus atores sociais. Para isso, iremos analisar a parceria entre o Ministério da Saúde e o Facebook para ampliar o número de doadores de órgãos no Brasil. O tema transplantes nas redes sociais tem apresentado cada vez mais a aceitação das pessoas. Espera-se demonstrar com este estudo que as redes sociais estão ganhando espaço dentro das organizações, uma vez que se estabelece uma comunicação simples e direta com o seu público. A pesquisa aproveita a ascensão da comunicação no ciberespaço, para avaliar como esse meio pode ser utilizado por órgãos públicos pela busca da mobilização social. Foi analisado o alcance no facebook de pessoas que se declaram doadores de órgãos no período de três meses (julho a setembro de 2012), assim como as notícias veiculadas.This study aims to evaluate how the use of social networks can be directed by government agencies to increase social promotion and bring these institutions closer to their social actors. For this purpose, we will examine the partnership between the Brazilian Ministry of Health and Facebook, directed to increment the number of organ donors in Brazil. The theme organ transplantation in social networks has expanded the acceptance of the act throughout the population. The study intends to demonstrate that social networks are gaining ground within organizations, as they provide a simple and direct communication with their audience. The research capitalizes on the rise of communication in cyberspace to assess how this media can be used by public institutions on pursuit of social mobilization. The Facebook scope on people who claim to be organ donors during three months (July-September 2012), was analyzed, as well as published news during the period

Ensaiando lugares de escuta : diálogos entre a psicologia e o conceito de lugar de fala

Com o intuito de responder eticamente a demanda de emergência dos lugares de fala, problematizaremos neste trabalho o "lugar de escuta" desde as posições de privilégios. Fazemos um jogo com o conceito "escuta" da psicologia, a "escuta terapêutica/psicológica", para ir mais além do termo restrito ao instrumento dos psicólogos e trazer a urgência da escuta enquanto um exercício de "alteridade". Fazemos um movimen-to interdisciplinar de aliar um conceito que vem dos estudos feministas com outro prove-niente do campo da psicologia pois acreditamos que tal diálogo é extremamente impor-tante para uma psicologia contemporânea que se posicione política e eticamente diante das opressões de gênero, raça e classe. Acreditamos também que tal discussão pode con-tribuir para uma melhor compreensão da questão do lugar de fala, tão debatido atual-mente.In order to respond ethically to the emergency demand of the places of speech, we pro-pose the discussion of a "locus of listening" of the subjects of privileges. We play a game with the word "listening" of psychology, "therapeutic / psychological listening", to go be-yond the term restricted to the instrument of psychologists and bring the urgency of lis-tening as an exercise of "otherness." We make an interdisciplinary movement by aligning a concept that comes from feminism with another from psychology, because we believe that such a dialogue is extremely important for a contemporary psychology that positions itself politically and ethically in the face of the oppressions of gender, race, class and culture. At the same time this discussion may contribute to a better comprehension to the ques-tion about "locus of enunciation" (place of speech), so currently debated

Avaliação do isolamento sonoro aéreo de elementos de vedação na construção civil

This article presents a comparative analysis of sound insulation from airborne noise provided by conventional partition systems or industrialized panels used in construction. The analysis was based on an experiment on the sound insulation provided by the panels, and on a literature review, , aiming to obtain equations that could be use for different panel typologies.. These equations could be use to predict the sound insulation of single and double leaf panels, either with or without infill.Neste trabalho é apresentada uma análise do isolamento sonoro do ruído aéreo entre elementos de vedação utilizados na construção civil, sendo esses sistemas convencionais ou painéis industrializados. Esta análise é feita a partir de um estudo experimental do isolamento sonoro dos painéis e por um procedimento analítico, baseado em revisão bibliográfica, visando expressões que atendam às diferentes tipologias de painéis de vedação. O resultado é a possibilidade de utilização de algumas expressões para prever o isolamento sonoro de painéis de vedação maciços, duplos com camada de ar interna ou sanduíches

Use of Images and Clinical Experience to Calibrate Dental Surgeons for the Diagnosis of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization

Objective: To evaluate an imaging protocol for use as a diagnostic and calibration tool for dentists before and after practical activity. Material and Methods: Thirty photos of children\u27s teeth with or without changes in dental enamel were selected and evaluated by a group of experienced dentists previously calibrated to establish the diagnosis defined as the gold standard. After instructions, the images were shown to a group of postgraduate dentists for free identification of dental changes. Subsequently, a lecture on molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) was carried out, and, at 14 days and all calibration was performed using the criteria previously. The retest was performed at 28 days. After experience in clinical activity in the following two weeks, the post-test was performed at 49 days.  Data were analyzed using Cohen\u27s kappa coefficient. Results: Theoretical learning on the subject showed low inter-examiner agreement when the diagnosis of defects was made from images obtained from intraoral photographs. After clinical practice, there was greater intra-examiner agreement.  After theoretical training, dentists started to identify different types of enamel alteration, although with low agreement between them. Conclusion: Clinical experience in theoretical and imaging training favored the identification of defects. However, it is necessary to improve the protocol to establish a reliable and viable diagnostic method for calibration in MIH

Conscious Walk Methodology Design for Acoustic, Air Quality and Biodiversity Evaluation in Urban Environments

Environmental noise and air pollution, as well as poor green infrastructure quality, are major concerns for the European population due to their impacts on citizens’ health, especially for those citizens living in urban environments, which materializes in a rising number of complaints to public administration. This issue is further stressed for urban areas located close to aggressive sources of such pollutants, such as airports, railways, highways, or leisure areas. To attend to this situation from the viewpoint of citizens’ everyday lives, this paper proposes a hybrid methodology in the form of a collective campaign in which citizens, especially those from environments that have a stronger impact, cooperate with scientists to collect high quality acoustic, chemical, and biodiversity data. The campaign consists of a conscious walk that considers acoustic measurements conducted by both experts and citizens, coupled with air quality measurements and biodiversity descriptions. The final goal of the method is to obtain subjective and objective data on the soundscape, air quality, and biodiversity in order to evaluate a pre-designed route in an urban location, namely, in the surroundings of Parc de la Ciutadella, Barcelona, Spain

Biochemical responses in mussels Perna perna exposed to diesel B5

In Brazil B5 blend (5% biodiesel and 95% diesel oil) has been adopted as mandatory fuel since 2010 for automotive vehicles. Since little is known about the effects of B5 exposure can promote on antioxidant system of marine biota this study aimed to assess if B5 can generate modifications in antioxidant parameters of mussels Perna perna. To address this question mussels were exposed to two concentrations of B5 (0.01 mL L(-1) and 0.1 mL L(-1)) for 6h, 12h, 48 h and 168 h. Then the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and glutathione reductase (GR) were evaluated in gills and digestive gland as well as the contents of glutathione (GSH) and lipid peroxidation by measuring the malondialdehyde concentration (MDA). In the gills, GST activity decreased after 48 h and GR after 12h of exposure to B5. In digestive glands, the activities of SOD, GPx and GR were changed due to treatments. GSH concentration increased in digestive gland after 6h and 12h and in gills after 48 h for B5 0.1 mL L(-1) and after 168 h in the digestive gland for B5 0.01 mL L(-1) treatment. No lipid peroxidation was detected. The integrated biomarker response index (IBR) evidenced a B5 effect in the digestive gland after 168 h of exposure. Regarding the experimental conditions and species used in this study, long-term exposure to B5 is apparently more likely to affect the parameters tested in P. perna mussels.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq

Ethnobotanical survey of plants with toxic active constituents, grown in the municipality of Cuité, Paraíba, Brazil

Incidents involving plants have been a major problem for public health over the years and represent the fourth leading cause of poisoning in Brazil, leading to death many people, especially children. This study aimed to carry out an ethnobotanical survey of plants with toxic active constituents, grown in the municipality of Cuité, Paraíba, correlating the popular and scientific knowledge. This study conducted an exploratory and descriptive field research by applying semi-structured questionnaires to city dwellers who maintained frequent contact with plants. The identification of 19 toxic species and 18 potentially poisonous species was possible. Prevalent plants in homes were ornamental. Most respondents were senior women who carried out this practice over ten years, and this interest in cultivation had come through relatives. The survey showed that most interviewees unaware the toxic potential of cited plants, which indicates the need to carry out educational and preventive work among the population
