    It is generally accepted that surpassing a threshold value of water-soluble salts at the substrate/coating interface can impart premature failure in painted structures. The Coatings industry has an identified need in defining a maximum allowable soluble salts content, however, a variety of threshold values are found in published data. Based on that, this work aims at evaluate the effect on epoxy coating performance of three different ranges of soluble salts content taking into account the maximum allowable values specified by NORSOK M501 and IMO PSPC MSC.215, two important standards of naval and offshore sectors. Blast-cleaned carbon steel specimens contaminated with sodium chloride solutions diluted in methanol ranging 20, 50 and 100 mg/m² NaCl were painted with two epoxy-amine paint coats. Samples were evaluated by cathodic disbondment, water immersion at 40 ºC, pull-off adhesion strength and cyclic corrosion tests. Larger blisters and loss of adhesion were observed as the soluble salts content at the interface increased. Although, it was not possible to find a critical level of soluble salts even considering data about similar coating systems. A safe soluble salt content must be chosen based on tests that closer reproduce service and environmental conditions to which a painted structure will be exposed. Keywords: Carbon steel, Corrosion, Soluble Salts Content, Epoxy, Paint.

    Objective: to understand the maternal experience in the feeding care of the infant with gastroschisis and discuss the assistance of the nurse to these mothers according to the conceptions of Ramona Mercer about the maternal role. Methods: qualitative study carried out in two intensive care units (neonatal and surgical) of a federal institution in Rio de Janeiro. A total of 11 mothers of newborns with gastroschisis who ate via oral and via tube were interviewed. The data were analyzed and interpreted in the light of Bardin and Ramona Mercer. Results: the answers evidenced the difficulties in building the maternal identity, given that feeding a child with gastroschisis is challenging due to the clinical instability; however, the support of the nursing personnel was essential in this process. Conclusion: giving voice and including the mothers in the care make them feel more secure in building the mother-child link and establishing strategies to the development of the maternal role, even in the face of obstacles imposed by the malformation.Objetivo: compreender a vivência materna no cuidado alimentar do filho com gastrosquise e discutir a assistência do enfermeiro a essas mães segundo as concepções de Ramona Mercer sobre o papel maternal. Métodos: estudo qualitativo realizado em duas unidades de terapia intensiva (neonatal e cirúrgica) de uma instituição federal no Rio de Janeiro. Foram entrevistadas 11 mães de recém-nascidos com gastrosquise que se alimentavam por via oral e sonda. Os dados foram analisados e interpretados à luz de Bardin e Ramona Mercer. Resultados: as falas evidenciaram dificuldades na construção da identidade materna, visto que alimentar o filho com gastrosquise é desafiador devido à instabilidade clínica, porém, o apoio da enfermagem mostrou-se fundamental nesse processo. Conclusão: dar voz e incluir as mães no cuidado faz com que elas se sintam seguras na criação do vínculo mãe-filho e estabeleçam estratégias para o desenvolvimento do papel materno, mesmo diante dos obstáculos impostos pela malformação

    Pro-health and PET-Health have as assumptions consolidation teaching-service-community integration and education through work aiming at reorientation of vocational training, from changes in the teaching-learning process and providing of health services to the population.We purpose to describe the training experiences in the health Care Network Maternal and Child Sobral-CE, from the Pro-Health and Pet-Health experience. The experience occurred duration of time 2012-2014, with actions directed by the Rede Cegonha policy. Closely interested were Network preceptors and Nursing and Physical Education academics. We highlight the interest of students in health care and interbranch collaborative practice in these areas, while device training/education, promoting changes in the health undergraduate courses. Accounting for that education through labor is able to assist in the training process, expanding the student look, preparing it for action in the Health Unic System.Pro-salud y PET-Salud tienen como supuestos consolidación de la integración enseñanza-servicio-comunidady la educación a través del trabajo puntería la reorientación de la formación profesional, suponiendo de los cambios en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y entrega de servicios de salud a la población.

    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

    Este artigo apresenta a avaliação continuada do trabalho realizado e os resultados que podem ser atribuídos à educação permanente na atenção à criança, desenvolvida junto às equipes de saúde da família, com gerência compartilhada pelo Programa de Extensão Comunitária do Instituto Materno Infantil Prof. Fernando Figueira (IMIP), e Secretarias Municipais de Saúde do Recife e Olinda, em Pernambuco, Brasil. Com apoio de consultores externos, o grupo executor realizou reflexão crítica sistemática, orientada pelas categorias desempenho, efeitos e efetividade, visando aprimorar o trabalho em seu decorrer. As fontes de informação foram os registros diários do grupo e das equipes e as percepções sobre o trabalho. Apesar da dificuldade de transformar em rotina as mudanças alcançadas, a educação permanente tem qualificado a atenção à criança. A satisfação das equipes reforça o sentimento de sua fecundidade e operacionalidade.<br>This article presents a continuous evaluation of work involving permanent education regarding childcare and the results that can be attributed to it, as carried out by family health teams managed jointly by the Community Outreach Program of the Instituto Materno Infantil Prof. Fernando Figueira, IMIP and the Municipal Departments of Health of the city Recife and the city of Olinda, State of Pernambuco, Brazil. With the support of external consultants, the group carried out systematic critical reflection, organized around the categories of performance, effects and effectiveness, with a view to enhancing the work under way. The sources of information used were the daily registers of the group and the teams and their views regarding the work. Despite the difficulty of transforming the changes brought about into routines, continuous education seems to have improved the quality of childcare. The satisfaction the teams feel corroborates this feeling that this work is both feasible and productive

    Este artigo objetiva analisar algumas evidências da literatura com relação às estratégias de atenção a saúde do idoso e sua família. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa na qual, para seleção dos artigos, foram consultadas as bases de dados Lilacs e Scielo. Evidenciou-se que a implantação de políticas públicas e programas de atenção ao idoso são dispositivos que surgiram para potencializar a atenção à saúde do idoso, porém atuam de forma pontual e fragmentada, sem direcionamentos satisfatórios que atendam à população idosa e sua família.  </p
