    The relationship of internal actors based on trust is considered a key factor in the success of organizations. This premise is also valid in the context of joint ventures set up in cooperatives. Assuming that trust plays a crucial role in the development of collective actions, this article aims to analyze the trust networks present in six Brazilian cooperatives of recyclable material. The analysis procedure was performed using the Ucinet 6.0 software, to identify the networks. The results evidenced trust relationships concentrated in the figure of the main administrator, with little reciprocity in the interaction among the members. The networks were not very dense, and in some cases, the formation of clans was identified. Taking into account the context that was analyzed, it is mandatory to focus in social insertion income and job opportunities to vulnerable populations. Keywords: Trust. Social network analysis. Recycling cooperatives.Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la confianza en cooperativas de economía solidaria, teniendo en cuenta el escenario de la sostenibilidad social. La relación de los actores basada en la confianza se considera un factor clave en el éxito de las organizaciones. Relaciones de confianza son esenciales para mantener a los hombres en las acciones colectivas, punto central de la forma de producción de las cooperativas. A través de una investigación cuali-cuantitativa, el análisis ha cubierto seis cooperativas de colección de materiales reciclables. Los resultados apuntan a un caso centralizado confianza en el gestor, con poca reciprocidad entre los miembros y también entre los miembros y sus gerentes. Las redes han mostrado poca densidad, con formación de clanes en algunos casos, creando obstáculo para el proceso de relación mutua. Palabras clave: Confianza. Análisis de redes sociales. Cooperativas de reciclaje.O relacionamento dos atores internos com base na confiança é considerado fator-chave no sucesso das organizações. Tal premissa é válida também no contexto de empreendimentos solidários configurados em cooperativas. Assumindo que a confiança tem papel crucial no desenvolvimento de ações coletivas, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as redes de confiança existente em seis cooperativas brasileiras de material reciclável. O procedimento de análise foi realizado com o uso do software Ucinet 6.0, para identificação das redes. Os resultados evidenciaram relações de confiança concentradas na figura do gestor principal, com pouca reciprocidade na interação entre os cooperados. As redes se mostraram pouco densas sendo que, em alguns casos, identificou-se a formação de clãs. No contexto do cenário pesquisado, ressalta-se a necessidade de melhoria da inserção social por meio de trabalho e renda da população em situação de vulnerabilidade. Palavras-chave: Confiança.

    Introdução: Um consumo excessivo de alimentos com baixo valor nutritivo e ricos em carboidratos e polióis, típico de uma alimentação ocidentalizada, traz consequências à saúde dos cidadãos, pois fomenta os efeitos das doenças e síndromes gastrointestinais. Objetivo: Analisar a produção científica relativa a associação entre o consumo de carboidratos e gastroenteropatias, verificando as melhorias que podem ser alcançadas com a restrição alimentar. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, cuja colheita de dados ocorreu em setembro de 2021 e nas bases MEDLINE e PubMed. Resultados: A análise dos 19 artigos incluídos no estudo permitiu identificar 3 temáticas relevantes (a influência dos probióticos na diminuição da ocorrência das doenças inflamatórias intestinais; o papel de uma dieta pobre em FODMAPs nas gastroenteropatias e o efeito da ingestão de carboidratos na dieta sobre o risco de câncer colorretal). Conclusão: As evidências mostram que uma dieta com baixo teor de FODMAPs diminui os sintomas de doenças gastrointestinais, como o desconforto abdominal, a sensação de inchaço e a produção de gases. No entanto, ainda são necessários mais estudos acerca da temática, a fim de trazer mais benéficos para pacientes

    Saúde pública brasileira: barreiras na gestão e no acesso dos serviços de saúde/ Brazilian public health: barriers in the management and access of health services

    O presente estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma análise histórica sobre os problemas relacionados à saúde pública, propor soluções e formas coerentes de transformação social a partir do acesso à saúde por parte da população. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), indexando as bases de dados Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências (LILACS), Scientific Library Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) e Base de Dados de Enfermagem (BDENF). sendo utilizados os descritores: “Acesso aos serviços de saúde”, “Gestão em Saúde”, “Sistema Único de Saúde” e “Saúde Pública”. Tais descritores foram cruzados utilizando o operador booleano AND e OR. Foram identificados inicialmente 798 estudos nas bases elencas e, após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, apenas 08 estudos foram selecionados para composição e análise do estudo. A análise dos estudos aponta que discutir a saúde e as novas perspectivas para o Brasil é muito mais que falar sobre corrupção, problemas na gestão, dificuldades no acesso e omissão por parte do Estado. Esta discussão, em suma, tem base no planejamento e na reconstrução do cenário atual e superação dos velhos paradigmas. Por isso, a saúde é caracterizada como algo bastante complexo e que depende do apoio e incentivo de diversos órgãos e instituições. Conclui-se que faz-se necessário, por isso, uma quebra de velhos paradigmas impostos que tendem a restringir um bom investimento na saúde, a não corrupção e um bom gerenciamento do SUS

    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

    Understanding the clinical spectrum of complicated Plasmodium vivax malaria: a systematic review on the contributions of the Brazilian literature

    The resurgence of the malaria eradication agenda and the increasing number of severe manifestation reports has contributed to a renewed interested in the Plasmodium vivax infection. It is the most geographically widespread parasite causing human malaria, with around 2.85 billion people living under risk of infection. The Brazilian Amazon region reports more than 50% of the malaria cases in Latin America and since 1990 there is a marked predominance of this species, responsible for 85% of cases in 2009. However, only a few complicated cases of P. vivax have been reported from this region. A systematic review of the Brazilian indexed and non-indexed literature on complicated cases of vivax malaria was performed including published articles, masters' dissertations, doctoral theses and national congresses' abstracts. The following information was retrieved: patient characteristics (demographic, presence of co-morbidities and, whenever possible, associated genetic disorders); description of each major clinical manifestation. As a result, 27 articles, 28 abstracts from scientific events' annals and 13 theses/dissertations were found, only after 1987. Most of the reported information was described in small case series and case reports of patients from all the Amazonian states, and also in travellers from Brazilian non-endemic areas. The more relevant clinical complications were anaemia, thrombocytopaenia, jaundice and acute respiratory distress syndrome, present in all age groups, in addition to other more rare clinical pictures. Complications in pregnant women were also reported. Acute and chronic co-morbidities were frequent, however death was occasional. Clinical atypical cases of malaria are more frequent than published in the indexed literature, probably due to a publication bias. In the Brazilian Amazon (considered to be a low to moderate intensity area of transmission), clinical data are in accordance with the recent findings of severity described in diverse P. vivax endemic areas (especially anaemia in Southeast Asia), however in this region both children and adults are affected. Finally, gaps of knowledge and areas for future research are opportunely pointed out
