Information Design and the COVID-19 pandemic: What is the contribution to health and citizenship?
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
Biofortification of Chia Genotypes with Lithium Hydroxide
No full textLithium (Li) is an important alkali metal that exists in the elemental form of nature. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the effect of foliar fertilization with doses of lithium hydroxide on the development and productivity of two chia genotypes, in the south of the state. The experiment was carried out at the Federal University of Tocantins, Campus de Gurupi-TO, in the agricultural year 2017/18 in pots of 8 dm-3 containing red-yellow dystrophic oxisol, deep and clayey texture, in a randomized block design, under a factorial 5x2 scheme, with four replications. The characteristics of plant height, upper stem height, stem diameter, bunch length, number of bunches, liquid photosynthesis, transpiration, stomach conductance and, after harvest (145 days), thousand grain mass, grain yield and Lí content in the grains were evaluated leaf and soil. The highest concentrations of lithium in the chia grains are obtained with the application of 24.6 g ha-1 and 18.5 g ha-1 of LiOH for the genotypes originating in Paraguay and Argentina, respectively. The best responses in height, length of bunch, number of bunches, lithium content in the grain, mass of a thousand grains, liquid photosynthesis, transpiration and stomach conductance were obtained with the genotype from Paraguay
Gestational Thrombophilia: Main Approaches to Diagnosis and Treatment
No full textThe woman\u27s body undergoes several physiological changes during the gestational period. Risk factors and comorbidities can cause pathophysiological changes in this period, especially in the maternal vascular system, triggering thrombophilia. This clotting disorder increases the thrombus formation risk, especially in the uteroplacental circulation. The study aimed to conduct a thorough review of the main approaches to diagnosis and treatment in reducing patient morbidity and mortality. This is an integrative review with qualitative data searched in Pubmed, BVS and Cochrane Library. A total of 624 studies were found, 591 were excluded outside the inclusion criteria, and 33 were selected. According to the careful search, thrombophilias can be hereditary or acquired, the former when there is a predisposition to venous occlusion and the latter from other clinical conditions. Pregnancy is a pro-thrombotic event and increases the chances of thrombus occurrence, triggering a series of pregnancy complications, such as intrauterine death, early or late miscarriage, and premature birth. However, if diagnosed early, there is a favorable prognosis for the woman and the fetus. To reduce these impacts of gestational thrombophilia, it is imperative to train primary health care and private clinics professionals to promote and treat health and basic diagnostic tests on pregnant women. Thus, performing early intervention avoiding the development of maternal-fetal complications
New historical and cultural considerations of the potters of the Quilombo of Itamatatiua, in Alcântara, Maranhão
No full textThe article focuses on the results obtained in research carried out in the Quilombo of Itamatatiua, in Alcântara, Maranhão. By means of Archeological Ethnography, a broad documental survey was carried out, with audiovisual records based on the potters\u27 narratives. The cutout adopted in this research approaches the presentation of the historical documentation about the formation of the traditional territory of Itamatatiua, the slave labor; the abandonment of the land by the owners, once colonizers of the religious Carmelite orders and the permanence of the African descendant population in this region. The documental contribution provided the delineation of new evidences that point to a strong indigenous influence in the ceramic production, a fact that has been deconstructing assumptions, such as that, the referred craft would have been introduced in the colonial period in the Carmelite potteries
Mechanical Failures Detection by Vibration Analysis in Rotary Machines Using Wavelet and Artificial Neural Network in the Gera Maranhão Plant.
No full textThis article presents aspects of a tool to assist in predictive maintenance based on vibration analysis in rotating machines using wavelet transform and artificial neural networks. The work analyzed the experimental results of applying a methodology based on the combination of the discrete wavelet transform using a Gaussian window with an artificial neural network for condition monitoring of three-phase induction motors. This approach consisted of simulating faulty and flawless signals using software developed in LabVIEW, their processing, appropriate choice of signals, establishing statistical measures of the chosen signs, and forming the input vectors presented to the artificial neural network. The input vectors are constituted based on statistical measures involving measures of central tendency (mean and centroid), measures of dispersion (RMS value and standard deviation), and a measure of asymmetry (Kurtosis). The most promising configuration was the Multiple Perceptron Layer (MPL) network with four hidden layers containing 256 neurons. Such network showed satisfactory performance for both mechanical failures, with a correct range of around 97%. These results proved to be very effective for detecting mechanical failures, thus being an auxiliary instrument in predictive maintenance
Generational knowledge and learning in the productive practices of traditional coastal communities, Brazilian Amazon
No full textThe present study took place in traditional coastal communities located around and within the Marine Extractive Reserves (RESEX-Mar) of Tracuateua and Araí-Peroba, Northeast of Pará, Brazilian Amazon, in the period between 2019 and 2020, involving thirty families, whose self-sustaining activities depend on family farming, artisanal fishing and crab fishing. The aimed objectives were to investigate the generational knowledges and how descendants learn about them, considering the environmental productive practices of such traditional communities, as well as to reflect on the ways the transmission processes occur to the following generations. The employed method involved a qualitative approach, with field observation and interview techniques. In data collection, the following instruments were used: a script with semi-structured questions to conduct the interviews and field notes taken during observation periods. Data analysis was based on the organization, tabulation and treatment of the linguistic terms collected from the interviews with the support of graphics generated by the IRAMUTEQ Software. Subsequently, content analysis was applied. The results showed there are riches constituted from the existing traditional knowledge, mainly in family farming and artisanal fishing (fish and crab), which are taught and transmitted by families to new generations. Conclusively, the research reveals that in the relationship between human beings and nature there are feelings of belonging perceived from the interviewees\u27 identities, adding symbols and meanings, which are experienced and respected by all
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\u27s 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
The decolonial perspective of the theory of culture from the black feminist study of Lélia Gonzalez
No full textThis research aims to investigate the criticism of Eurocentric thinking and modernity from the authors Terry Eagleton and Lélia González. In the course of this, the approach of colonial structures of domination that still persist in society will be approached. It is observed that many requirements that characterize this domination come from patriarchy in a capitalist system, whose roles and/or identities are occupied by individuals such as the black population, indigenous peoples and women. Thus, the theories of Terry Eagleton, Nelson Maldonado-Torres, Aníbal Quijano and more precisely, Lélia González will be discussed, since the perspective of the black woman and her identity constructed in a manipulated way, with direct influence of the patriarchal/capitalist/colonial/modern world-system is the primary point of this study. To this end, we point out, through a theoretical and integrative review, decolonial thinking in the Theory of Culture, promoting the elucidation of the main concepts, ideas and debates proposed by the authors and authors mentioned
Innovation and intellectual property system: Proposal for a conceptual framework
No full textDeveloping a resilient infrastructure, inclusive and sustainable industrialization and fostering innovation correspond to one of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (SDG/UN), notably the ninth. However, meeting this result, in the case of developing countries such as Brazil, seems complex, demanding a review of the organization of industrial and innovation systems. Based on that, this study analyzes the panorama of Science, Technology and Innovation in Brazil (ST&I), through indicators. Then, a conceptual framework is presented with suggestions for planning and organizing an innovation and intellectual property system. The analysis of the country\u27s indicators revealed some important challenges in the area of ST&I, such as the need to improve the financing process and better adhesion of national companies to the system of protection of their intellectual property. Additionally, the framework presented a series of suggestive actions for the system\u27s actors, based on 05 main functions: Regulatory, Coordination, Protection of Intellectual Property, Promotion and Production and Operationalization of Knowledge
Epidemiological profile of covid-19 cases notified in the health secretary of Araguari City, MG, Brazil
No full textIn 2020, Public Health has experienced a period of pandemic with the confrontation against the disease that initially appears in China Popular Republic and spread worldwide population, causing, in addition to major public health disorders, numerous losses with a high rate of deaths caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study aimed to analyze the epidemiological profile of COVID-19 in Araguari city, MG, Brazil, between March 2020 and November 2021. The study was carried out by collecting data on occurrences, deaths, age and sex of those people affected by the disease in the mentioned city. The information was extracted using a control spreadsheet prepared by the Planning and Epidemiology Departments of the Municipal Health Department. The data obtained were tabulated, analyzed and presented in the form of tables and figures. The pandemic triggered moments of fragility in the world health system and, in Araguari, caused high rates of its occurrence with great losses being 19,939 citizens who contracted the disease, with 474 deaths motivated by COVID-19. There was a prevalence of the disease in males and in people between 60 and 89 years old. The analysis of the evolution of COVID-19 cases, in absolute numbers, showed that between May and June 2020 there was an increase in COVID-19 notifications, as well as in the months of January to July 2021, with a reduction in August. Variations in the evolution of COVId-19 cases are probably related to the emergence of new variants of SARS-CoV-2
