Experiência no desenvolvimento e execução de processos educativos no PET-Saúde

The need for education and health of the Brazilian population has been thoroughly discussed in all walks of government. At the federal level was launched the PET – Health/HS program. This program has several projects and one of them aimed to guide and educate people for prevention of diseases transmited by insects and caused by microorganism, besides informing about the proper handling of garbage in an attempt to prevent proliferation of infectious and parasitic diseases associated with those vectors in the municipality of Divinópolis–MG. Health education was based on didactic lectures, distribution of folders, play educational videos, and photo exhibitions. Health education was based on: didactic lectures, distribution of brochures, play educational videos and photo exhibitions. Activities were impactful and transmitted to people a message conscientizing, aiming at reducing the number of cases of diseases related to vectors and proper waste management.Las necesidades de educación y la salud la población brasileña se ha debatido a fondo en todos los ámbitos de gobierno.

La educación en salud se basa en charlas didácticas, distribución de carpetas, reproducir vídeos educativos, y exposiciones fotográficas.

Como metodologia, foram confeccionados materiais para ampliação do conhecimento da população sobre a temática trabalhada: Lixo, insetos vetores da Dengue, Febre amarela e Leishmaniose. A educação em saúde foi baseada em palestras didáticas, distribuição de folders, reprodução de vídeos educativos e exposições fotográficas. Um CD com todos os materiais foi disponibilizado às unidades de saúde para futuras atividades. Foram atividades impactantes e que transmitiram à população uma mensagem conscientizadora, visando à diminuição do número de casos de doenças relacionadas aos vetores e ao manejo adequado do lixo

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
