MINI-ATLETISMO NO CAMPUS DE BLUMENAU- 2018 : A VIVÊNCIA DE UMA ATIVIDADE EDUCACIONAL

O Mini-Atletismo foi elaborado por especialistas da Federação Internacional de Atletismo (IAAF), como uma possibilidade de crianças e adolescentes de todo o mundo vivenciarem a prática de uma atividade física lúdica e salutar. Os objetivos fundamentais para a realização dele são: ser uma atividade atraente, acessível e instrutiva. Não é objetivo que as crianças e adolescentes realizem provas convencionais do Atletismo, e sim atividades que remetam a prática e que sejam interessantes e atrativas. Assim, nosso objetivo no Campus do IFC será disponibilizar o Mini-Atletismo durante a MEPEC 2018, de forma que os estudantes conheçam algumas de suas atividades, e realizem de forma alegre e vibrante. A atividade será realizada pelos professores do projeto, com auxílio dos bolsistas de pesquisa e extensão,e e também dos estudantes do 1o. Ano do EMI em Informática do Campus de Blumenau. Os participantes serão alunos das escolas públicas da rede de Ensino de Blumenau. O Mini-Atletismo será organizado no formato de 6 provas (atividades), em circuito, para que os estudantes participem de cada prova em equipe, e obtenham assim uma pontuação ao final de cada prova, e uma pontuação geral, ao final de todas as provas. As equipes são compostas por 4 ou 5 alunos. As atividades que iremos realizar serão: corrida de velocidade e barreiras, lançamento ao alvo sobre uma barreira, saltos cruzados, corrida em escada, salto em distância com vara e lançamento do dardo. Após a equipe passar por todas as provas, ela terá o seu escore final. E o resultado finaliza somente quando todas as equipes participam de todas as provas. Essa atividade leva em torno de 1 hora para a organização e participação de todos, e se houve demanda, pode ser organizado em dois períodos do dia, de manhã e a tarde.

HORTA SOLIDÁRIA

INTRODUÇÃOEssa ação pretende promover a satisfação e o prazer em ajudar pessoas que realmente precisam, geralmente invisíveis para a sociedade. Pretende-se também incentivar o respeito e colaboração para aqueles que moram na rua por algum motivo os quais desconhecemos. O trabalho voluntário pode oferecer benefícios para a vida de quem é ajudado e de quem ajuda1. O voluntariado melhora a saúde mental e física, cria novas amizades, é um passatempo, além de proporcionar prazer, mantém a pessoa ativa, desenvolve suas habilidades e permite adquirir novos conhecimentos. Sabe-se por senso comum que produtos orgânicos são mais saudáveis e diversos sites confirmam essa informação, pois as plantas orgânicas não tem uso de agrotóxicos em sua produção nem em sua conservação, além de durarem mais.O objetivo deste trabalho é construir uma horta e doar a produção a uma entidade de moradores de rua, esses alimentos podem fazer diferença na qualidade de vida dessas pessoas. Além disso, plantarárvores frutíferas em áreas estratégicas do campus, para além de fazer sombra, fornecer frutas de boa qualidade. Para esse item árvores frutíferas acredita-se que o exemplo do consumo de frutas possa atingir alguns colegas que não tem o hábito de ingerir esse tipo de alimento. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS Para execução do projeto, inicialmente, foi retirado três amostras do solo em que foi feita a horta. Em contato com o IFC Rio do Sul, solicitou-se uma análise de solo, para saber se haveria necessidade de acrescentar algum tipo de nutriente. A análise foi feita pela Empresa de Pesquisa Agropecuária e Extensão Rural de Santa Catarina (EPAGRI) e o químico responsável técnico foi Cristiano Mora CRQ 13100823.Durante a visita ao IFC Rio do Sul, recebemos quatro tipos de mudas, sendo elas alface, almeirão, beterraba e couve, elas foram plantadas no dia 23 de agosto de 2016 e são regadas todos os dias pelamanhã e meio dia.Na horta, foram usadas 33 mudas de alface, 20 mudas de couve, 30 mudas de beterraba e 15 mudasde almerão, cada canteiro tem aproximadamente 2 metros de comprimento e 60 cm de largura. Paraa confecção do local de plantio foram usadas 3 enxadas, 3 pás, 1 facão e 1 mangueira. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃOApós a análise dos dados do solo fez-se o plantio, conforme orientação, das mudas trazidas do IFC Rio do Sul, tudo ocorreu dentro do previsto, as plantas cresceram sem nenhum problema, o grupo esteve unido e cada um colaborou no que pode, não houve problema na obtenção dos materiais necessários, tudo o que foi usado foi pego emprestado do próprio Campus Blumenau. A análise de solo colaborou na segurança e expectativa de uma boa colheita. Figura 1: Análise de solo IFC Blumenau / 2016Durante execução do projeto uma das dificuldades encontradas foi o cansaço físico pois trabalhar com a terra exigiu dos componentes do grupo preparo pois é um trabalho pesado para três pessoas.Importante registrar como aspecto positivo a inexistência de pragas e insetos que poderiam prejudicar a qualidade dos vegetais. Figura 2: Horta IFC Blumenau / 2016 CONCLUSÃOConclui-se assim que uma ação solidária traz benefícios tanto para quem recebe a ação quanto para quem pratica e que com um pouco de esforço e boa vontade é possível ajudar quem realmente precisa.O trabalho ainda não acabou, ainda restam coisas a fazer, como colher os vegetais e entregar para a entidade responsável em repassar esses alimentos aos moradores de rua. Tem-se como objetivo futuro, ampliar o projeto de trabalho para, não apenas uma horta, mas também plantar árvores frutíferas em lugares selecionados, fornecendo sombra para dias quentes e frutas a vontade para os alunos, professores e servidores do campus

Enzymatic Mechanisms Involved in Evasion of Fungi to the Oxidative Stress: Focus on Scedosporium apiospermum

The airways of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are frequently colonized by various filamentous fungi, mainly Aspergillus fumigatus and Scedosporium species. To establish within the respiratory tract and cause an infection, these opportunistic fungi express pathogenic factors allowing adherence to the host tissues, uptake of extracellular iron, or evasion to the host immune response. During the colonization process, inhaled conidia and the subsequent hyphae are exposed to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) released by phagocytic cells, which cause in the fungal cells an oxidative stress and a nitrosative stress, respectively. To cope with these constraints, fungal pathogens have developed various mechanisms that protect the fungus against ROS and RNS, including enzymatic antioxidant systems. In this review, we summarize the different works performed on ROS- and RNS-detoxifying enzymes in fungi commonly encountered in the airways of CF patients and highlight their role in pathogenesis of the airway colonization or respiratory infections. The potential of these enzymes as serodiagnostic tools is also emphasized. In addition, taking advantage of the recent availability of the whole genome sequence of S. apiospermum, we identified the various genes encoding ROS- and RNS-detoxifying enzymes, which pave the way for future investigations on the role of these enzymes in pathogenesis of these emerging species since they may constitute new therapeutics targets

Measuring performance on the Healthcare Access and Quality Index for 195 countries and territories and selected subnational locations: A systematic analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016

Background: A key component of achieving universal health coverage is ensuring that all populations have access to quality health care. Examining where gains have occurred or progress has faltered across and within countries is crucial to guiding decisions and strategies for future improvement. We used the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) to assess personal health-care access and quality with the Healthcare Access and Quality (HAQ) Index for 195 countries and territories, as well as subnational locations in seven countries, from 1990 to 2016. Methods Drawing from established methods and updated estimates from GBD 2016, we used 32 causes from which death should not occur in the presence of effective care to approximate personal health-care access and quality by location and over time. To better isolate potential effects of personal health-care access and quality from underlying risk factor patterns, we risk-standardised cause-specific deaths due to non-cancers by location-year, replacing the local joint exposure of environmental and behavioural risks with the global level of exposure. Supported by the expansion of cancer registry data in GBD 2016, we used mortality-to-incidence ratios for cancers instead of risk-standardised death rates to provide a stronger signal of the effects of personal health care and access on cancer survival. We transformed each cause to a scale of 0-100, with 0 as the first percentile (worst) observed between 1990 and 2016, and 100 as the 99th percentile (best); we set these thresholds at the country level, and then applied them to subnational locations. We applied a principal components analysis to construct the HAQ Index using all scaled cause values, providing an overall score of 0-100 of personal health-care access and quality by location over time. We then compared HAQ Index levels and trends by quintiles on the Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a summary measure of overall development. As derived from the broader GBD study and other data sources, we examined relationships between national HAQ Index scores and potential correlates of performance, such as total health spending per capita. Findings In 2016, HAQ Index performance spanned from a high of 97\ub71 (95% UI 95\ub78-98\ub71) in Iceland, followed by 96\ub76 (94\ub79-97\ub79) in Norway and 96\ub71 (94\ub75-97\ub73) in the Netherlands, to values as low as 18\ub76 (13\ub71-24\ub74) in the Central African Republic, 19\ub70 (14\ub73-23\ub77) in Somalia, and 23\ub74 (20\ub72-26\ub78) in Guinea-Bissau. The pace of progress achieved between 1990 and 2016 varied, with markedly faster improvements occurring between 2000 and 2016 for many countries in sub-Saharan Africa and southeast Asia, whereas several countries in Latin America and elsewhere saw progress stagnate after experiencing considerable advances in the HAQ Index between 1990 and 2000. Striking subnational disparities emerged in personal health-care access and quality, with China and India having particularly large gaps between locations with the highest and lowest scores in 2016. In China, performance ranged from 91\ub75 (89\ub71-93\ub76) in Beijing to 48\ub70 (43\ub74-53\ub72) in Tibet (a 43\ub75-point difference), while India saw a 30\ub78-point disparity, from 64\ub78 (59\ub76-68\ub78) in Goa to 34\ub70 (30\ub73-38\ub71) in Assam. Japan recorded the smallest range in subnational HAQ performance in 2016 (a 4\ub78-point difference), whereas differences between subnational locations with the highest and lowest HAQ Index values were more than two times as high for the USA and three times as high for England. State-level gaps in the HAQ Index in Mexico somewhat narrowed from 1990 to 2016 (from a 20\ub79-point to 17\ub70-point difference), whereas in Brazil, disparities slightly increased across states during this time (a 17\ub72-point to 20\ub74-point difference). Performance on the HAQ Index showed strong linkages to overall development, with high and high-middle SDI countries generally having higher scores and faster gains for non-communicable diseases. Nonetheless, countries across the development spectrum saw substantial gains in some key health service areas from 2000 to 2016, most notably vaccine-preventable diseases. Overall, national performance on the HAQ Index was positively associated with higher levels of total health spending per capita, as well as health systems inputs, but these relationships were quite heterogeneous, particularly among low-to-middle SDI countries. Interpretation GBD 2016 provides a more detailed understanding of past success and current challenges in improving personal health-care access and quality worldwide. Despite substantial gains since 2000, many low-SDI and middle- SDI countries face considerable challenges unless heightened policy action and investments focus on advancing access to and quality of health care across key health services, especially non-communicable diseases. Stagnating or minimal improvements experienced by several low-middle to high-middle SDI countries could reflect the complexities of re-orienting both primary and secondary health-care services beyond the more limited foci of the Millennium Development Goals. Alongside initiatives to strengthen public health programmes, the pursuit of universal health coverage hinges upon improving both access and quality worldwide, and thus requires adopting a more comprehensive view-and subsequent provision-of quality health care for all populations
