Nova sede para o centro pop Bárbara Calazans: centro de referência para pessoas em situação de rua

Este trabalho propõe uma nova sede para o Centro Pop Bárbara Calazans, um centro de referência especializado para pessoas em situação de rua, localizado no centro da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. O objeto de estudo encontra-se sem a infraestrutura necessária para a completa realização deste trabalho. No Brasil, a população em situação de rua sofre diariamente o descaso da sociedade e ineficiência das políticas públicas, são vistas como marginalizadas e sobrevivem em condições precárias. Com o objetivo de auxiliar no desenvolvimento do projeto do novo centro de referência agregado a um restaurante popular, buscou-se entender as necessidades e características destas pessoas na cidade, assim como o atual cenário econômico e histórico desta população. O objetivo deste trabalho com implantação da nova sede é a reinserção dos moradores em situação de rua na sociedade através de atendimentos personalizados, alimentação, terapias, direcionamento para moradia e preparação mínima para atuação no mercado de trabalho. Acreditando que a visibilidade é o primeiro passo para a conquista de direitos e melhorias, buscou-se discutir e expor o tema, contribuindo com a recuperação da dignidade do nosso próximo através da arquitetura com o planejamento de espaços adequados que supram a necessidade daqueles que os utilizam

Evaluation of prenatal care from the perspective of completeness

Objective: evaluating prenatal care from the perspective of completeness. Method: this is an evaluative study whose purpose is the completeness of prenatal care focusing on the size of the organization of services, where two dimensions were analyzed. Professionals who work directly in prenatal care and health managers participated in the survey. Results: dimensions assurance resources and health surveillance model were analyzed and, from the respective notes, it was possible to obtain notes from management which respectively were considered regular notes (1st dimension 7,3, 2nd dimension 5,4, note of the 6,4 management). Conclusion: it is inferred for this municipality with respect to prenatal care interventions that are needed in this area to achieve a standard of quality founded on the completeness, municipal management must provide the necessary resources in order to have a more structured assistance

Carbon sequestration in resin-tapped slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) subtropical plantations

Every year more than 150,000 tons of resin used in a myriad of industrial applications are produced by Brazilian plantations of Pinus elliottii Engelm. (slash pine), which are also used for timber. A pine tree can be tapped for resin over a period of several years. Resin is a complex mixture of terpenes, which are carbon-rich molecules, presumably influencing pine plantation carbon budgets. A total of 270 trees (overall mean DBH of 22.93 ± 0.11 cm) of 14-, 24-, and 26-year-old stands had their C content measured. Three different treatments (intact, wounded panels, and wounded + chemically stimulated panels, 30 trees each) were applied per site. Above- and belowground biomass, as well as resin yield, were quantified for two consecutive years. Data were statistically evaluated using normality distribution tests, analyses of variance, and mean comparison tests (p ≤ 0.05). The highest resin production per tree was recorded in the chemically stimulated 14-year-old stand. Tree dry wood biomass, a major stock of carbon retained in cell wall polysaccharides, ranged from 245.69 ± 11.73 to 349.99 ± 16.73 kg among the plantations. Variations in carbon concentration ranged from 43% to 50% with the lowest percentages in underground biomass. There was no significant difference in lignin concentrations. Soils were acidic (pH 4.3 ± 0.10–5.83 ± 0.06) with low C (from 0.05% to 1.4%). Significantly higher C stock values were recorded in pine biomass compared to those reported for temperate zones. Resin-tapping biomass yielded considerable annual increments in C stocks and should be included as a relevant component in C sequestration assessments of planted pine forests

Avaliação da assistência pré-natal na perspectiva da integralidade Evaluation of prenatal care from the perspective of completeness

Objetivo: Avaliar a assistência pré-natal na perspectiva da integralidade. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo avaliativo cujo objeto é a integralidade da assistência pré-natal, com foco na dimensão da organização dos serviços, onde foram analisadas duas dimensões. Participaram da pesquisa, profissionais que atuavam diretamente na assistência pré-natal e os gestores de saúde nesse âmbito. Resultados: Foram analisadas as dimensões garantia de recursos e modelo de vigilância em saúde e a partir das respectivas notas foi possível obter a nota da gestão onde respectivamente foram obtidas notas consideradas regulares(1° dimensão 7,3, 2° dimensão 5,4 nota da gestão6,5).Conclusão: Infere-se para este município no que tange a assistência pré-natal que são necessárias intervenções nesta área para alcançar um padrão de qualidade pautado na integralidade, a gestão municipal precisa prover os recursos necessários para que se tenha uma assistência mais estruturada.

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

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

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
