Data analytics applied to the analysis of petroleum production in Brazil / Anålise de dados aplicada à anålise da produção de petróleo no Brasil
We mine the set of data provided by the ANP (AgĂȘncia Nacional do PetrĂłleo e GĂĄs - National Oil and Gas Agency), of petroleum production and distribution in Brazilian territory. We use modern data science techniques to collect, analyze, treat and model hydrocarbon production data from all production units operating in the period from February 2009 to 2020. We highlight the high production of hydrocarbons in the Brazilian territory related to the performance of Petrobras, responsible for about 95% of Brazilian production. We report the discovery of an apparent paradox: the Tupi field presents the highest daily production, however it is not the largest national producer, a position that belongs to the Marlim field, yet we present the data analytics techniques that we use to solve this paradox

A clĂnica psicanalĂtica vem sendo convocada a responder Ă s urgĂȘncias da pandemia bem como suas consequĂȘncias na saĂșde mental. O objetivo do texto Ă© apresentar a experiĂȘncia do PAPSE antes e durante a pandemia da Covid-19. Desde que iniciou as atividades, o PAPSE atendeu 162 discentes
A IMPORTĂNCIA DA IMPLEMENTAĂĂO DOS CUIDADOS PALIATIVOS NA UNIDADE DE TERAPIA INTENSIVA
To discuss the importance of implementing palliative care in the intensive care unit through the existing literature. Methods: This is a qualitative integrative literature review. The search for the works involved in the research was carried out in the following databases: SCIELO, LILACS, BDENF and MEDLINE, using the health sciences descriptors: "Hospice care", "Palliative care" and "Intensive care unit". The inclusion criteria were: published between 2013 and 2023, with free access to full texts, articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish and related to the theme. Exclusion criteria were: duplicate articles, incomplete articles, abstracts, reviews, debates, articles published in event proceedings and unavailable in full. Results: This care has some principles that guarantee its effectiveness when implemented in the ICU, such as promoting individual and continuous care for patients, involving family members in this process, respecting the autonomy of the patient, establishing an environment conducive to the necessary care, among others. Conclusion: The study in question concludes that the implementation of palliative care in the ICU, despite having numerous barriers, promotes a less painful dying process when applied correctly by health professionals, among these aspects, the participation of the family in this process is emphasized.Discutir por meio da literatura existente acerca da importĂąncia da implementação dos cuidados paliativos na unidade de terapia intensiva.

ManifestaçÔes orais e craniofaciais da SĂndrome de Apert: uma revisĂŁo da literatura
A sĂndrome de Apert apresenta desafios craniofaciais complexos, exigindo procedimentos cirĂșrgicos como correção de cranioestenose e avanço da regiĂŁo mĂ©diofacial. Embora menos prevalentes do que em outras sĂndromes, questĂ”es como hidrocefalia e herniação tonsilar ainda sĂŁo relevantes. Anomalias craniofaciais caracterĂsticas, como hipoplasia orbital, mandibular e dental, juntamente com atrasos no desenvolvimento dentĂĄrio, sĂŁo comuns. Foi realizada uma revisĂŁo sistemĂĄtica de artigos com sistematização PRISMA no perĂodo de 2021 a 2024. usando como base o Pubmed, critĂ©rios de inclusĂŁo inglĂȘs, portuguĂȘs e espanhol com descritor âOral, Craniofacial Apert Syndromeâ. Os estudos demonstram que a intervenção ortodĂŽntica e maxilofacial Ă© crucial na prevenção e tratamento dessas condiçÔes. Um diagnĂłstico preciso e um plano de tratamento personalizado sĂŁo essenciais, destacando a importĂąncia de uma equipe odontolĂłgica bem treinada na melhoria da saĂșde bucal e qualidade de vida dos pacientes com sĂndrome de Apert
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,5â7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8â11 In
the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the worldâs 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.13â15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazonâs 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 regionâs vulnerability to environmental change. 15%â18% 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

A social and ecological assessment of tropical land uses at multiple scales: the Sustainable Amazon Network
Science has a critical role to play in guiding more sustainable development trajectories. Here, we present the Sustainable Amazon Network (Rede Amazonia Sustentavel, RAS): a multidisciplinary research initiative involving more than 30 partner organizations working to assess both social and ecological dimensions of land-use sustainability in eastern Brazilian Amazonia. The research approach adopted by RAS offers three advantages for addressing land-use sustainability problems: (i) the collection of synchronized and co-located ecological and socioeconomic data across broad gradients of past and present human use; (ii) a nested sampling design to aid comparison of ecological and socioeconomic conditions associated with different land uses across local, landscape and regional scales; and (iii) a strong engagement with a wide variety of actors and non-research institutions. Here, we elaborate on these key features, and identify the ways in which RAS can help in highlighting those problems in most urgent need of attention, and in guiding improvements in land-use sustainability in Amazonia and elsewhere in the tropics. We also discuss some of the practical lessons, limitations and realities faced during the development of the RAS initiative so far.Keywords: Socialâecological systems, Tropical forests, Land use, Interdisciplinary research, Sustainability, Trade-off

COVID-19 symptoms at hospital admission vary with age and sex: results from the ISARIC prospective multinational observational study
Background:
The ISARIC prospective multinational observational study is the largest cohort of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. We present relationships of age, sex, and nationality to presenting symptoms.
Methods:
International, prospective observational study of 60â109 hospitalized symptomatic patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 recruited from 43 countries between 30 January and 3 August 2020. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate relationships of age and sex to published COVID-19 case definitions and the most commonly reported symptoms.
Results:
âTypicalâ symptoms of fever (69%), cough (68%) and shortness of breath (66%) were the most commonly reported. 92% of patients experienced at least one of these. Prevalence of typical symptoms was greatest in 30- to 60-year-olds (respectively 80, 79, 69%; at least one 95%). They were reported less frequently in children (â€â18 years: 69, 48, 23; 85%), older adults (â„â70 years: 61, 62, 65; 90%), and women (66, 66, 64; 90%; vs. men 71, 70, 67; 93%, each Pâ<â0.001). The most common atypical presentations under 60 years of age were nausea and vomiting and abdominal pain, and over 60 years was confusion. Regression models showed significant differences in symptoms with sex, age and country.
Interpretation:
This international collaboration has allowed us to report reliable symptom data from the largest cohort of patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19. Adults over 60 and children admitted to hospital with COVID-19 are less likely to present with typical symptoms. Nausea and vomiting are common atypical presentations under 30 years. Confusion is a frequent atypical presentation of COVID-19 in adults over 60 years. Women are less likely to experience typical symptoms than men
