Planejamento e execução de um inquérito populacional de saúde por meio de consórcio de pesquisa multidisciplinar = Planning and execution of a population health survey by means of a multidisciplinary research consortium

ESUMO OBJETIVOS: Descrever os aspectos metodológicos e operacionais de um inquérito de pesquisa sobre saúde, realizado por meio de um consórcio de pesquisa multidisciplinar. MÉTODOS: Um estudo transversal de base populacional foi realizado com indivíduos de 18 anos ou mais, residentes na zona urbana do município de Rio Grande, RS, Brasil. A amostragem foi probabilística, tendo como unidade primária amostral os setores censitários. O instrumento de pesquisa consistiu num questionário padronizado, com questões fechadas e previamente testado, aplicado face a face no domicílio. Um questionário resumido foi aplicado a 10,5% dos indivíduos para fins de controle de qualidade. O trabalho de campo se estendeu de abril a julho de 2016 e a pesquisa foi previamente aprovada por comitê de ética em pesquisa. RESULTADOS: Dos 70 setores censitários amostrados, foram selecionados 711 domicílios e 1. 429 indivíduos. Responderam o questionário 1. 300 indivíduos (91,0%) de 676 domicílios (95,1%). As perdas e recusas foram mais prevalentes para os indivíduos do sexo masculino e dos setores do centro da cidade. A reprodutibilidade do questionário foi satisfatória (kappa médio = 0,80). CONCLUSÕES: Apontaram-se os principais aspectos metodológicos de um consórcio de pesquisa multidisciplinar, que poderão ser de interesse para outros pesquisadores. Destaca-se a relevância deste tipo de estudo para a produção de informações sobre diversas condições de saúde da populaçã

Gestão pública II: relatos, pesquisas, experiências e visão de trabalho.

Coletânea de trabalhos publicados e premiados no II Seminário de Gestão Pública da UFRA e na 1ª edição do Prêmio Novos Ventos de Gestão Pública, sob a responsabilidade da Pró-Reitoria de Gestão de Pessoas (PROGEP).UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL RURAL DA AMAZÔNIAEste livro, na forma de coletânea, se constituiu em um processo mais amplo de reflexão sobre a gestão pública dentro da Universidade. Aqui, partimos para uma importante reflexão, a partir do processo de sistematizar experiências, relatos de experiência, e pesquisas, sobre a Universidade Pública e sua relação com as pessoas e as ciências. Em especial, o capítulo 1, a partir da coletânea dos trabalhos apresentados no II Seminário de Gestão Pública, diferencia-se dos trabalhos submetidos para a primeira edição. As experiências destacadas para este livro reforçam a identidade e missão da UFRA, como os resultados dos trabalhos “OS CAMINHOS DA MERENDA ESCOLAR: análise da logística na cadeia de suprimentos do município de Tomé-Açu” e “ANÁLISE QVT NA GESTÃO DE UMA EMPRESA PRODUTORA DE DENDÊ EM TOMÉ-AÇU/PA”, e que também agregam valor a gestores e equipes de trabalho quando promovem a discussão de temas relacionados ao dia-a-dia do trabalho, tais como: QUALIDADE DE VIDA NO TRABALHO e GESTÃO ESTRATÉGICA DE PESSOAS NO SETOR PÚBLICO. Nesse sentido, servidores e pesquisadores cumprem a função de embasar inúmeras discussões que vêm sendo travadas pelas Instituições Públicas sobre qualidade de vida, inclusão, garantia de direitos, melhoria de procedimentos, dentre outros. O capítulo II, enquanto coletânea das experiências de trabalho indicada para premiação, é um momento riquíssimo de se perceber a quantidade e a qualidade de ações planejadas, organizadas e realizadas por servidores públicos. Em tempos que algumas práticas do serviço público não são bem vistas, reforça-se aqui que alguns dos relatos foram concebidos em meio a falta de recursos financeiros e estruturais, mas que não impediram os proponentes de seguir em frente. Mais do que isso, o reconhecimento dos beneficiários e usuários faz com que reforcemos a necessidade de fortalecer ações que agregam inúmeros valores a vida laboral dos servidores públicos e a própria Universidade Pública.This book, in the form of a collection, constituted a broader process of reflection on public management within the University. Here, we start an important reflection, based on the process of systematizing experiences, experience reports, and research, about the Public University and its relationship with people and the sciences. In particular, chapter 1, from the collection of works presented at the II Seminar on Public Management, differs from the works submitted for the first edition. The experiences highlighted for this book reinforce UFRA's identity and mission, such as the results of the work “THE PATHS OF SCHOOL BREAKFAST: analysis of logistics in the supply chain in the municipality of Tomé-Açu” and “QVT ANALYSIS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF A PRODUCING COMPANY OF DENDÊ IN TOMÉ-AÇU / PA ”, and which also add value to managers and work teams when promoting the discussion of topics related to day-to-day work, such as: QUALITY OF LIFE AT WORK and STRATEGIC PEOPLE MANAGEMENT IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR. In this sense, civil servants and researchers fulfill the function of supporting numerous discussions that have been held by Public Institutions on quality of life, inclusion, guarantee of rights, improvement of procedures, among others. Chapter II, as a collection of work experiences indicated for awards, is a very rich moment to realize the quantity and quality of actions planned, organized and carried out by public servants. In times when some public service practices are not well regarded, it is reinforced here that some of the reports were conceived amid a lack of financial and structural resources, but that did not prevent proponents from moving forward. More than that, the recognition of beneficiaries and users makes us reinforce the need to strengthen actions that add innumerable values ​​to the working life of public servants and the Public University itself

Water table depth modulates productivity and biomass across Amazonian forests

Aim: Water availability is the major driver of tropical forest structure and dynamics. Most research has focused on the impacts of climatic water availability, whereas remarkably little is known about the influence of water table depth and excess soil water on forest processes. Nevertheless, given that plants take up water from the soil, the impacts of climatic water supply on plants are likely to be modulated by soil water conditions. Location: Lowland Amazonian forests. Time period: 1971–2019. Methods: We used 344 long-term inventory plots distributed across Amazonia to analyse the effects of long-term climatic and edaphic water supply on forest functioning. We modelled forest structure and dynamics as a function of climatic, soil-water and edaphic properties. Results: Water supplied by both precipitation and groundwater affects forest structure and dynamics, but in different ways. Forests with a shallow water table (depth <5 m) had 18% less above-ground woody productivity and 23% less biomass stock than forests with a deep water table. Forests in drier climates (maximum cumulative water deficit < −160 mm) had 21% less productivity and 24% less biomass than those in wetter climates. Productivity was affected by the interaction between climatic water deficit and water table depth. On average, in drier climates the forests with a shallow water table had lower productivity than those with a deep water table, with this difference decreasing within wet climates, where lower productivity was confined to a very shallow water table. Main conclusions: We show that the two extremes of water availability (excess and deficit) both reduce productivity in Amazon upland (terra-firme) forests. Biomass and productivity across Amazonia respond not simply to regional climate, but rather to its interaction with water table conditions, exhibiting high local differentiation. Our study disentangles the relative contribution of those factors, helping to improve understanding of the functioning of tropical ecosystems and how they are likely to respond to climate change

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.
