AVALIAÇÃO DA ALIMENTAÇÃO E SUA RELAÇÃO COM AS DOENÇAS CRÔNICAS NÃO TRANSMISSÍVEIS DE UM GRUPO DE IDOSOS DE UM MUNICÍPIO DA REGIÃO NORTE DO ESTADO DO RS

Este artigo objetivou avaliar a qualidade da alimentação e sua relação com as doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, tais como diabetes mellitus, hipertensão arterial e dislipidemia de um grupo de idosos, por meio da aplicação de um questionário de frequência alimentar. A amostra foi constituída por 38 idosos entre 60 e 85anos. Os resultados demonstraram que a maioria das pessoas entrevistadas (68%) apresentava hipertensão, associada ou não com outra doença, 37% possuíam apenas hipertensão arterial, 24% apresentavam hipertensão e colesterol e 20% relataram alteraçõesnas taxas de colesterol. Em relação ao diabetes, 5% dos entrevistados apresentam esta patologia como única, 7% apresentaram diabetese hipertensão, e nenhuma possuía diabetes e colesterol alterado associados. Com base nos resultados verificou-se que grande percentual dos entrevistados consome alimentos não nutritivos ricos em gordura, sódio e açúcares simples, sendo imprescindíveis ações educativas que enfatizem a importância do equilíbrio e moderações no consumo desses alimentos

Zika: abordagem clínica na atenção básica

Zika é uma doença que foi detectada no país no último ano, a partir deste evento a doença tem se disseminado no país, cursando de forma inédita segundo a literatura científica. Tendo encontrado ambiente favorável à sua disseminação, que é a presença do vetor Aedes em todo o país, em população sem imunidade à doença, vem causando enorme impacto à saúde de nossa população. É preciso que os profissionais de saúde se capacitem para conseguir minimizar o impacto desta enfermidade, utilizando todos os recursos possíveis para assistir, disseminar os conhecimentos para a população, além de construir parcerias com todos os equipamentos sociais para atuarem no sentido de proteger a saúde de todos. Para isso este material foi elaborado, tendo o caráter auto-instrucional, os profissionais de saúde podem realizá-lo dentro de suas possibilidades. O módulo tem 45h, sendo dividido em quatro unidades de ensino; ao final oferece uma avaliação objetiva e a certificação on-line. Na biblioteca estão disponibilizados livros e vídeos com conteúdos referentes ao tema, utilize-os se sentir necessidade de aprofundar seus conhecimentos.1.

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

Etologia de capivaras (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris L. 1766) jovens semi-confinadas no Norte do Estado do Paraná - DOI: 10.4025/actascianimsci.v27i1.1262

The young semi-confined capibaras behavior was studied from 27th August to 24th September, in 2001, in Floriano - Paraná State, Brazil. A group of nine capibaras was placed in confinement in a picket to have dips during all the experience, while another group of animals had no access to such dips. Weather conditions were registered every hour. There was no difference regarding the animals’ behavior during the treatment, which suggests the possibility of pickets with no pools for grown-up semi-confined capibaras. When there is no shadow against sun irradiation, the ‘pool’ has great importance for the relief of caloric stress. The feeding places, which were arranged linearly, caused great stress on the animals’ handling. This work was based on research with animals in their natural habitat due to the scarcity of research concerning the breeding of Hydrochaeris hydrochaerisEntre os dias 27 de agosto e 24 de setembro de 2001 estudou-se o comportamento de capivaras jovens em semiconfinamento no Distrito de Floriano, Estado do Paraná. Um grupo de nove animais foi alojado em um piquete com acesso a banhos de imersão durante todo o experimento, enquanto o outro permaneceu sem acesso a tal recurso. Os dados climáticos foram registrados a cada hora. Não foram verificadas diferenças no comportamento entre os tratamentos, sugerindo a possibilidade de piquetes sem piscina para capivaras em crescimento e em regime de semiconfinamento. Em casos de insuficiência de sombra para a proteção da radiação solar, o recurso “piscina” tem grande importância no alívio do estresse calórico. Os comedouros dispostos de forma linear foram os maiores estressores no manejo dos animais. Pela escassez de pesquisas com Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris em regime de produção, as discussões deste trabalho tiveram como comparativos pesquisas realizadas com animais em habitat natura

Analysis of strategies adopted by productive agglomerations against to the risks of demand, competitiveness and competence: study comparison between the states of Alagoas and Paraná / Análise das estratégias adotadas por aglomerações produtivas frente aos riscos de demanda, competitividade e competência: estudo comparativo entre os estados de Alagoas e Paraná

: The objective of this research is the analysis of the Strategic Management Process of the Productive Agglomerations of Paraná and Alagoas, considering its sustainable competitive advantage and its relation with the risks of demand, competence and competitiveness. This study carried out a bibliographical review on the subject and in the sequence, in-depth interviews with the managers. The primary data were treated with the use of the content analysis, with transcription of the 10 interviews performed, and were inserted in the software Atlas ti 7.0. The results provided evidence on the problems faced by the APLs due to scarce and limited use of corporate sustainability strategies as well as effective risk management. Nevertheless, it was found that risk reduction is possible, with emphasis and importance in the analysis of the management of the arrangements, requiring a more professional management
