    Este artigo relata aspectos acerca da segunda etapa do Projeto TRANSARTE, desenvolvido em Florianópolis. Trata-se de uma proposta de ensino de arte baseada na Semiótica. A primeira experiência (TRANSARTE I) se deu em uma escola pública federal; e a segunda (TRANSARTE II), tem como objeto professores e alunos das redes públicas estadual e municipal. Diversas dificuldades reduziram a proposta de transdisciplinaridade para interdisciplinaridade, em ambas as experiências. Entretanto, os resultados obtidos dos estudantes são muito animadores, se considerados os desempenhos nos pré e pós-testes.

    Objective: To know the socioeconomic profile, preferences and difficulties encountered by organic food consumers in a store in Teresina-PI. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study, conducted with 60 consumers, carried out through the application of a semi-structured questionnaire that included: sociodemographic issues, frequency of consumption, factors that influence the choice of organics, most consumed food groups and the main difficulties. Results: It was possible to identify that the profile of consumers of this store was formed, by adults aged 31 to 40 years (31.6%), female (71.6%), with postgraduate education (45%), income equal to or greater than eleven minimum wages (53.3%) and married (65%). The interviewees reported consuming organic foods more than once a week (90%), presenting as the main reason the factor of these foods being healthier (56.6%). Among the most consumed groups were for four options such as vegetables, vegetables, fruits, vegetables and other combinations (41.60%). It was also possible to observe that organic food prices are still seen as a difficulty factor by the interviewees (33%). Conclusion: It was evidenced that the main motivations for consumption are related to the concern with health and well-being. Among the main difficulties encountered is high price of products, where it makes it difficult for consumers to purchase.Objetivo: Conocer el perfil socioeconómico, las preferencias y las dificultades encontradas por los consumidores de alimentos ecológicos en una tienda de Teresina-PI. Metodología: Se trata de un estudio transversal, realizado con 60 consumidores, realizado mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario semiestructurado que incluyó: cuestiones sociodemográficas, frecuencia de consumo, factores que influyen en la elección de los productos orgánicos, grupos de alimentos más consumidos y las principales dificultades. Resultados: Se pudo identificar que el perfil de consumidores de esta tienda estaba conformado, por adultos de 31 a 40 años (31,6%), mujeres (71,6%), con educación de posgrado (45%), ingresos iguales o superiores a once salarios mínimos (53,3%) y casados (65%). Los entrevistados reportaron consumir alimentos orgánicos más de una vez a la semana (90%), presentando como la razón principal el factor de que estos alimentos sean más saludables (56.6%). Entre los grupos más consumidos se encontraban por cuatro opciones como verduras, hortalizas, frutas, hortalizas y otras combinaciones (41,60%). También fue posible observar que los precios de los alimentos orgánicos siguen siendo vistos como un factor de dificultad por los entrevistados (33%). Conclusión: Se evidencie que las principales motivaciones para el consumo están relacionadas con la preocupación por la salud y el bienestar. Entre las principales dificultades encontradas se encuentra el alto precio de los productos, donde dificulta la compra por parte de los consumidores.Objetivo: Conhecer o perfil socioeconômico, as preferências e dificuldades encontradas por consumidores de alimentos orgânicos em uma loja de Teresina-PI.

Resultados: Foi possível identificar que o perfil dos consumidores desta loja foi formado, por adultos na faixa etária de 31 a 40 anos (31,6%), sexo feminino (71,6%), com escolaridade de pós-graduação (45%), renda igual ou maior que onze salários mínimos (53,3%) e casados (65%). Os entrevistados relataram consumir os alimentos orgânicos mais de uma vez na semana (90%), apresentando como principal motivo o fator desses alimentos serem mais saudáveis (56,6%). Dentre os grupos mais consumidos foram para quatro opções como: verduras, hortaliças, frutas, legumes e outras combinações (41,60%). Também foi possível observar que os preços dos alimentos orgânicos ainda são vistos como um fator de dificuldade pelos entrevistados (33%). Conclusão: Evidenciou-se que as principais motivações para o consumo estão relacionadas à preocupação com a saúde e bem-estar. Entre as principais dificuldades encontradas está preço elevado dos produtos, onde este dificulta a aquisição por parte dos consumidores. &nbsp

    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

    Cardiopulmonary resuscitation: update, controversies and new advances

    No full text
    Cardiopulmonary arrest is a medical emergency in which the lapse of time between event onset and the initiation of measures of basic and advanced support, as well as the correct care based on specific protocols for each clinical situation, constitute decisive factors for a successful therapy. Cardiopulmonary arrest care cannot be restricted to the hospital setting because of its fulminant nature. This necessitates the creation of new concepts, strategies and structures, such as the concept of life chain, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation courses for professionals who work in emergency medical services, the automated external defibrillator, the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, and mobile intensive care units, among others. New concepts, strategies and structures motivated by new advances have also modified the treatment and improved the results of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the hospital setting. Among them, we can cite the concept of cerebral resuscitation, the application of the life chain, the creation of the universal life support algorithm, the adjustment of drug doses, new techniques - measure of the end-tidal carbon dioxide levels and of the coronary perfusion pressure - and new drugs under research
