SEVERAL BIASES IN EVALUATION PROCESS OF PROFESSORS BY UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
No full textThe evaluation of the teaching process uses questionnaires applied to the students, giving them the power of be anonymous in their responses. However, if at the end of the course some students get low grades, at the moment of their responses to the questionnaires they can have an attitud of revenge against the teacher, manifested by bad evaluation to the teachers. There are other situations that interfere with students responses leading to biases in evaluation process. We reviewed factors that interfere in the teacher evaluation through questionnaires causing biases and, we also tryed to find alternatives to diminish biases in evaluation. We search original articles and reviews in web sites databases about biases in professor evaluation process and comments about avoid these biases. We also conducted a manual search for relevant articles in the reference lists of articles. Several factors can be biases in teachig evaluation proccess as feeling of revenge, more difficult course, younger students and gender male students evaluators. Non-white teachers, female teachers, older teachers, non-charism teachers, non-good look teachers also get lower grades. Teacher evaluations through questionnaires must be viewed with caution due to several biases. Since questionnaires are difficult to be replaced in the evaluation of teachers, we discuss alternatives in order to avoid injustice to the teachers
Identification of Suppliers able to provide Hydraulic Fracturing Services in Unconventional Reservoirs and Risks associated with the Construction of these Wells
No full textAccording to the international agencies U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and World Energy Council (WEC), Brazil is the 10th country in the world ranking of the largest holders of shale gas reserves, with 245 Tcf (trillion cubic feet) (6.9 Tcm – trillion cubic meters) of natural gas. Due to the low permeability of these formations, the so-called unconventional reservoirs, only become viable if stimulated through horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques. These techniques, like any other ones, have associated risks that should be very well managed and mitigated. This article aims to show that the benefits, in terms of fostering the local economy, job creation and energy security, outweigh the risks since they are known and well managed. In addition, suppliers present in country, able to provide these services properly, with numerous successful cases around the world, are identified in the article as well

No full textMultiple and various graphic design pieces were created around the world for digital media during the COVID-19 pandemic. These graphic design pieces were meant to disseminate information about the disease caused by the new Corona Virus SARS-CoV-2 to inform people on how to better protect themselves. Information Design uses guidelines and principles that would inform the design of useful graphic pieces to combat the pandemic and help the people to address their health needs for citizenship rights. This research analyzed multiple pieces made available by Fiocruz (a Brazilian health institution). The case study presented in this paper explores the piece with information explaining how soap acts on the virus and proposes a new design to improve its quality
ANALYSIS OF THE BENEFITS OF LIVING WITH PETS IN TERMS OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
No full textThis study aims to elucidate the human approach to development, in particular from the Human Scale Development theory, and to investigate the positive effects arising from the relationship between humans and animals in order to combine them with human development. The theory of Human Scale Development presented itself as a paradigm shift by advocating the protagonism of the human being during the development process. The natural and intuitive bond formed between people and their pets started to intrigue researchers around the world, giving rise to a series of scientific evidence that point to beneficial effects of this relationship. Pets have been found to have the ability to contribute in many ways to the well-being of their guardians. This article is part of the dissertation entitled “The interfaces of the relationship between human beings and pets from the perspective of human development”, presented to the Postgraduate Program in Local Development at Universidade Católica Dom Bosco. The research has a qualitative approach, which employs the inductive method and, as to the objectives, it is an exploratory research combined with a literature review and document analysis. In conclusion, the bond between humans and pets can represent a human development factor
Airborne Fungi in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Operating Theater in a University Hospital
No full textMonitoring the microbiological quality of indoor air in hospital environments is a matter of comprehensive discussion due to its influence on the transmission and spread of pathogenic microorganisms. Among the artificially air-conditioned environments, hospitals are noteworthy for being specific places for the treatment and recovery of patients. In addition to problems related to patients health and professionals health, immunocompromised patients are more exposed to microorganisms present in the air currents of the refrigeration system in these environments, which can lead to consequences such as the occurrence of outbreaks. The objective of this work was to evaluate the indoor air quality in critical hospital environments of a teaching hospital in the city of Maceió, the state of Alagoas. In addition, we sought to identify the anemophilous fungal microbiota present. Air collections were taken in the rainy season, totaling, following recommendations indicated by Resolution No. 9 of the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency. The study was based on determining the concentration parameter of bioaerosols in indoor and outdoor air. The fungal microbiota identification was carried out by analyzing macro and microscopic characteristics for filamentous fungi and the use of molecular tools for yeasts. The most frequent species in hospital critical environments were Cladosporium cladosporioides, Penicillium piceum, Penicillium aurantiogriseum, Cladosporium herbarum and Aspergillus oryzae. In outdoor air, the most frequently found fungi were Penicillium sp., Aspergillus sp., and Cladosporium species. Candida tropicalis, C. krusei, and C. parapsilosis were identified among the yeasts in indoor and outdoor air samples. Identifying potentially pathogenic fungi in the evaluated environments points to the need for continuous monitoring of indoor air quality. Furthermore, to avoid the widespread fungal pathogens and the consequent occurrence of outbreaks, the adoption of indoor air microbiological quality analysis programs is suggested as an essential tool in developing infection control standards. In our study, airborne fungi are reported as indoor air contaminants in critical hospital environments. This finding is noteworthy because, in general, individuals present in these environments have an immunological impairment

Media Bios and Artificial Intelligence: the dark side of Fake News
No full textWith a bibliographic nature and a qualitative approach, this work aims to discuss, through a literature review, the concept of fake news and its influence and effects on youth political formation. The article addresses the concept of fake news and its classification, based on the ideas of media bios and mediatization brought by Sodré, as well as a reflection on the developments of artificial intelligence technologies linked to the production and dissemination of fake news. In addition, a discussion is carried out on the role played by fake news in the political formation of subjects, considering the different forms of political participation and socialization, especially with the development of digital media and social networks. The results suggest that the debate about the political formation of subjects represents the expression of new social paradigms in the face of the structure of the production and dissemination of so-called fake news in the political field. It is considered that the processes of political formation and participation today have taken place in a terrain where disinformation is a great threat to democracy and one of the challenges that emerge from this conjecture is to preserve freedom of expression and, at the same time, prevent that the trinkin compromises democracy
Incidence of syphilis in pregnant women in the countryside of são paulo from 2018 to 2020
No full textSyphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum and is transmitted sexually, hematogenously or vertically, and may occur in any time of pregnancy. It is one of the major concerns and high rates of pregnant women with syphilis, which leads to congenital syphilis. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of syphilis in pregnant women in the state of São Paulo from 2018 to 2020 in epidemiological surveillance. The study is an epidemiological, descriptive observational research of quantitative analysis with secondary data, notified in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), which is the database of the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS), of pregnant women with syphilis, between 2018-2020. The collection of secondary data was authorized of São Paulo State. We found 50 women with unspecified syphilis in the last 3 years, of these 36 are pregnant women with syphilis and 7 cases of congenital syphilis. There has been a large increase in pregnant women with syphilis in the last year, however, there has been an eradication of congenital syphilis during this period. With this, it can be emphasized the importance of screening and early treatment of pregnant women in the Primary Health Care Network to promote health promotion and to offer quality of health services to mothers
PATENT GRANTED IN THE FIELD OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PRESCRIPTION: A TECHNOLOGY ANALYSIS OF THE BODY ACTIVITY ASSESSMENT SYSTEM
No full textThe prescription of physical activity in Brazil is widespread as an action of the Physical Education professional. In this process, it is up to him to plan, elaborate, systematize, plan, monitor and evaluate the practitioner. Therefore, with evolution, technologies capable of performing the same functions have emerged. In this regard, are technologies that have physical activity prescription functions protectable? Is there technology for this purpose and capability? These are the questions that structure this research. It aimed to analyze patents that will present a profile of physical activity prescription in other areas and in other countries. In the field of investigation, basic research characterized in the principles of documentary research was applied, with a sample of 198 patents using data analysis in the interpretive phase of the data. It was concluded that there is a technology protected by a patent that has a role and competence in the field of prescription, monitoring and evaluation of practice in the health sphere. There is still a need for further studies to deepen and increase knowledge in the axis of intellectual property, physical activity, professional Physical Education and health
Humanization of nursing care for people with tuberculosis: Bibliometric Study
No full textObjective: To analyze the scientific production on tuberculosis and the humanization of nursingcare. Methods: Bibliometric, descriptive quantitative study, carried out in the Web Of Science databasewith a time frame from January 2010 to July 2021. The laws of lotka and zipf were applied and the analysisoccurred with the aid of vosviewer software. Results: We recovered 309 scientific productions ontuberculosis and the humanization of nursing care, the majority published in 2019, with the predominanceof the English language. According to lotka law among the 1,381 authors who publish on the subject, 276(20%) are responsible for 30.3% of productivity, but only eight have a total strength of co-authorship bond.Through zipf's law, 761 keywords with a predominance of "tuberculosis" and "nursing" were found. TheCountries united states of America (USA) (25%) and Brazil (22%) have the highest number of publicationson the theme addressed here. Conclusion: There is a tendency to increase in publications on tuberculosis,however, little is studied about humanization aimed at the treatment of people who experience thisdisease. More evidence should be produced in this context because the end of tuberculosis depends on theimplementation of what is contained in the global strategy plan, regarding the intensification pillar ofresearch and innovation. Such actions will contribute to the execution of more humanized practices of thecare of the nursing professional, reflecting on the success of the treatment of people suffering fromtuberculosis
