MOVIMENTOS DOS(AS) CORPAS(AS) NA PAISAGEM PERIFÉRICA
O presente trabalho transita entre poéticas e viscerais maneiras de interpretar o mundo através de narrativas, que por meio das suas fabulações produzem mecanismos de (re)criar o cotidiano assumindo um diálogo interpretativo decolonial. Nesse ínterim, além de discorrermos sobre o espaço-lugar Águas Claras, bairro popular da cidade de Salvador-Ba, por via das travessias-memórias, utilizamos as imagens como metodologia na construção de narrativas visuais através da colagem digital, onde as expressões corporificadas revelam as paisagens periféricas e são enunciações, em seu bojo, de elementos criativos, maneiras de questionar e reconstruir cruciais brechas para a criação de uma visão de mundo que já se anuncia. A linguagem assume posição de destaque, possibilitando transformar um lugar, criando percursos que semeiam a dialética da desconstrução e da construção de mundo
A EDUCAÇÃO DAS RELAÇÕES ÉTNICO-RACIAIS NA FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE: UM OLHAR FREIREANO PARA O CURSO DE PEDAGOGIA
This article presents the research results developed between 2013 and 2015 at the Education Center of the Federal University of Pernambuco, which aimed to analyze, in this institution, the repercussions of Law 10.639 / 2003 in the Pedagogy course from 2003 to 2013. Thus, Through the appropriate Freirean theory in a critical recreation reading that used it as a horizon of possibility of social justice and the methodology of oral history, we collected oral and written sources that helped to interpret how these repercussions occurred. The results point out that the reverberations of this Law in the course and in the time in question happened in a minimal way, beginning to take effect only after the entry of black and black teachers and students, and consider the education of ethnic-racial relations important for the Teacher training and, therefore, choose the theme for their pedagogical thinking and doing.Este artículo presenta los resultados de las investigaciones llevadas a cabo entre 2013 y 2015, de la Universidad Federal de Pernambuco Centro de Educación que tuvo como objetivo analizar, en esta institución, el impacto de la Ley 10.639 / 2003 en la Facultad de Educación de 2003 a 2013. Por lo tanto, a través de la teoría de Freire apropiada una lectura crítica de recreación que lo utilizó como un horizonte de posibilidad de la justicia social, y la metodología de la historia oral, se recogieron las fuentes orales y escritas que ayudaron a interpretar como ocurrió estas repercusiones. Los resultados muestran que las reverberaciones de esta ley en el curso y el momento en cuestión ocurrió en una forma menor de edad, comenzando a surtir efecto sólo después de la admisión de los profesores y estudiantes que se auto-identifican los hombres y las mujeres de raza negra y que consideran la educación de las relaciones étnico-raciales importante para formación del profesorado y, por lo tanto, elegir el tema de su pensamiento y pedagógica.Este artigo apresenta os resultados de pesquisa desenvolvida entre 2013 e 2015, no Centro de Educação da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco que objetivou analisar, nesta instituição, as repercussões da Lei nº 10.639/2003 no curso de Pedagogia no período de 2003 a 2013.

Human development : challenges for the comprehension of the probabilistic trajectories
A abordagem teórica do desenvolvimento humano exige uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, a qual contemple a interface de diferentes saberes. Seguindo uma trilha antes delineada pela abordagem sistêmica do desenvolvimento e pela abordagem bioecológica, a "Ciência do Desenvolvimento", surge ao final do século XX, imprimindo uma marca importante na compreensão das principais questões relativas ao campo do desenvolvimento. Neste trabalho, apresentamos e discutimos alguns tópicos centrais desta ciência. A ênfase no desenvolvimento como processo versus produto das interações; o significado das mudanças e continuidades no tempo; e, o papel do próprio sujeito, assim como o da cultura e dos contextos ecológicos, entre os fatores constitutivos das redes relacionais em que se circunscreve o desenvolvimento, ao longo do curso de vida, são aspectos que se destacam na discussão.The theoretical approach of human development demands an interdisciplinary perspective that contemplates the interface of different knowledge fields. Following a path previously defined by the systemic approach of learning and by the bio-ecological approach, the "Science of Development" has emerged in the last decades of the 20th century, imprinting an important mark in the comprehension of the main issues of human development. In this work, we present and discuss some of the core issues of this science: the emphasis on the development as a process versus a product of the interactions; the meaning of the changes and continuities over time; and the role of the person as well as that of the culture and the ecological contexts among the constituent factors of the relational systems where development takes place along life-time
Immunohistochemical evaluation of metallothionein in palatal mucosal cells of mice treated with 4NQO
Objective: Metallothionein (MT) may play a preventive role in various carcinogenic process. 4NQO is an alkaline compound and potent mutagen that causes the formation of DNA adducts. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immunoexpression of MT in palatal cells of mice submitted to the carcinogen 4NQO. Study design: C57BL/6 mice received applications of 4NQO to palate for periods of 8, 16, 20 and 24 weeks (experimental group). A control group received only applications of propylene glycol for the same periods. Subsequently animals of experimental and control groups were sacrificed and the palate was histologically analysed and MT immunohistochemistry performed. Results: Although morphological atypical features were scant, the expression of MT was higher in the experimental group in comparison to controls. There was an amplified induction of MT expression in oral epithelium of mice treated by 4NQO. Conclusion: These results suggest that MT may act as an endogenous defensive factor against 4NQO in early phases of oral carcinogenesis
Photocatalytic degradation of salicylic acid employing TIO2 and ZNO in aqueous suspension / Degradação fotocatalítica do ácido salicílico empregando TIO2 e ZNO em suspensão aquosa
The photocatalytic degradation of salicylic acid (SA) in reduced concentration (14.5 µmol L-1) was investigated using TiO2 and ZnO as photocatalysts under irradiation with UV light using UV-Vis spectrophotometry and HPLC analysis. The effect of different catalysts and catalyst loading, kinetic analysis, and dissolution of ZnO using the experimental conditions adopted were evaluated in acidic medium (pH = 3.0). Chronic ecotoxicity tests of the effluent from the reactions were conducted employing a concentration of 1 g L-1 of photocatalysts. The results showed that TiO2 and ZnO presented very similar performance for the SA degradation, whose profile followed first-order kinetics. The dissolution of ZnO observed was low using the experimental conditions adopted. Chronic ecotoxicity tests carried out showed that the use of ZnO/UV system for degradation of SA leads to a product with significant harmful effects on Ceriodaphnia dubia, even at reduced concentrations of the effluent from the reaction
Effect of nutritional recovery with soybean flour diet on body composition, energy balance and serum leptin concentration in adult rats
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Malnutrition in early life is associated with obesity in adulthood and soybean products may have a beneficial effect on its prevention and treatment. This study evaluated body composition, serum leptin and energy balance in adult rats subjected to protein restriction during the intrauterine stage and lactation and recovering on a soybean flour diet.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Five groups of the Wistar strain of albino rats were used: CC, offspring born to and suckled by mothers fed a control diet and fed the same diet after weaning; CS, offspring born to and suckled by mothers fed a control diet and fed a soybean diet with 17% protein after weaning; LL, offspring of mothers fed a low protein diet and fed the same diet after weaning; LC, offspring of mothers fed a low protein diet, but fed a control diet after weaning; LS, offspring of mothers fed a low protein diet, but fed a soybean diet with 17% protein after weaning. Food intake, body, perirenal and retroperitoneal adipose tissue were measured in grams. Leptin was quantified using the Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA) and insulin by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Carcass composition was determined by chemical methods and energy expenditure was calculated by the difference between energy intake and carcass energy gain. Data were tested by analysis of variance (ANOVA).</p> <p>Results</p> <p>The LC and LS groups had higher energetic intake concerning body weight, lower energy expenditure, proportion of fat carcass and fat pads than CC and CS groups. The LS group showed reduced body weight gain and lower energy efficiency, which was reflected in less energy gain as protein and the proportion of carcass protein, and lower energy gain as lipid than in the LC groups, although both groups had eaten the same amount of diet and showed equal energy expenditure. Serum leptin did not differ among groups and was unrelated to food or energy intake and energy expenditure. Serum insulin was higher in the LS than in the LC group.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Protein restriction during intrauterine life and lactation periods did not provoke obesity in adulthood. Nutritional recovery with soybean diet decreased the body weight at the expense of lower energy efficiency with repercussion on lean mass.</p
Long-term Landsat-based monthly burned area dataset for the Brazilian biomes using Deep Learning
Fire is a significant agent of landscape transformation on Earth, and a dynamic and ephemeral process that is challenging to map. Difficulties include the seasonality of native vegetation in areas affected by fire, the high levels of spectral heterogeneity due to the spatial and temporal variability of the burned areas, distinct persistence of the fire signal, increase in cloud and smoke cover surrounding burned areas, and difficulty in detecting understory fire signals. To produce a large-scale time-series of burned area, a robust number of observations and a more efficient sampling strategy is needed. In order to overcome these challenges, we used a novel strategy based on a machine-learning algorithm to map monthly burned areas from 1985 to 2020 using Landsat-based annual quality mosaics retrieved from minimum NBR values. The annual mosaics integrated year-round observations of burned and unburned spectral data (i.e., RED, NIR, SWIR-1, and SWIR-2), and used them to train a Deep Neural Network model, which resulted in annual maps of areas burned by land use type for all six Brazilian biomes. The annual dataset was used to retrieve the frequency of the burned area, while the date on which the minimum NBR was captured in a year, was used to reconstruct 36 years of monthly burned area. Results of this effort indicated that 19.6% (1.6 million km2) of the Brazilian territory was burned from 1985 to 2020, with 61% of this area burned at least once. Most of the burning (83%) occurred between July and October. The Amazon and Cerrado, together, accounted for 85% of the area burned at least once in Brazil. Native vegetation was the land cover most affected by fire, representing 65% of the burned area, while the remaining 35% burned in areas dominated by anthropogenic land uses, mainly pasture. This novel dataset is crucial for understanding the spatial and long-term temporal dynamics of fire regimes that are fundamental for designing appropriate public policies for reducing and controlling fires in Brazil
Building an antimicrobial stewardship program: A narrative of six years under the Donabedian perspective
Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is increasing and represents one of the world’s major challenges. AMR increase morbimortality, length of hospital stay and costs. Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs (ASP) are one of the key strategies to promote the rational use of antimicrobials since AMR is mostly driven by antimicrobial consumption.Objective: To describe the ASP implementation in a teaching hospital from the perspective of Donabedian quality assessment and the Brazilian regulatory requirements.Method: This was a descriptive study with secondary data collection, including document review of the ASP. The study setting was a general public 392-bed hospital. The ASP activities were performed by the hospital infection control committee (HICC), hospital pharmacy (HP) and diagnostic support laboratory (DSL). The description of the three services mainly involved in the ASP was based on a quality assessment model involving the dimensions of “structure”, “process” and “result” proposed by Donabedian. The distribution among dimensions was guided by the checklist of essential elements of the ASP that compose the Brazilian regulatory requirements. The checklist was applied in July, 2022, and the ASP results described from 2016 to 2021.Results: ASP actions have been gradually implemented since 2008 with the implementation of HICC and improved over the years. Regarding structure, the investments in technology were mapped, quantifying 26 computers and three software programs employed to computerize the ASP processes performed in specific physical areas by HICC, HP and DSL. Institutional guidelines used by HICC, HP and DSL guided clinical practices to operationalize ASP. The evaluation metrics improved for 10 indicators and worsened for four indicators. From the 60 items composing the checklist, the hospital met the requirements in 73.3% of the items (n = 44).Conclusion: This study described the implementation of ASP in a teaching hospital, applying the Donabedian perspective. Although the hospital still does not have a classic ASP model, there were investments to improve structure, processes and results, aiming to comply with international guidelines. A high proportion of key elements of ASP in the hospital were followed according to the Brazilian regulatory requirements. Aspects related to antimicrobial consumption and the emergence of microbial resistance deserve further investigations
Gestantes HIV positivas: traçando o perfil em uma população na Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Sobral/Ce-Brasil.
O vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV), é responsável por causar a AIDS, que ataca o sistema imunológico, possibilitando o desenvolvimento de infecções. Além disso, o HIV também pode ser transmitido de forma vertical (transmissão vertical), durante a amamentação, ou parto. Identificar os aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos, diagnósticos e de tratamento da HIV em gestantes por meio de um estudo do banco de dados da Santa Casa da Misericórdia. Foi utilizada uma fonte de pesquisa secundária no banco de dados da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Sobral, em 2015. A coleta de dados foi realizada pelos próprios pesquisadores pré-treinados, sendo avaliados 1.150 prontuários, dos quais 1.146 não apresentavam afecção pelo vírus HIV, restringindo a amostra da população estudada para quatro pacientes. Portanto, o presente estudo revelou que das quatro parturientes HIV positivas todas compareceram ao número adequado de consultas pré-natal. De modo que, 75% das parturientes estavam com 37-41 semanas de gestação
