    A systematic review of clinical practice guidelines and best practice statements for the diagnosis and management of varicocele in children and adolescents

    No full text
    A systematic review was conducted to identify and qualitatively analyze the methods as well as recommendations of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) and Best Practice Statements (BPS) concerning varicocele in the pediatric and adolescent population. An electronic search was performed with the MEDLINE, EMBASE, Science Direct, and Scielo databases, as well as guidelines′ Web sites until September 2015. Four guidelines were included in the qualitative synthesis. In general, the recommendations provided by the CPG/BPS were consistent despite the existence of some gaps across the studies. The guidelines issued by the American Urological Association (AUA) and American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) did not provide evidence-based levels for the recommendations given. Most of the recommendations given by the European Association of Urology (EAU) and European Society of Pediatric Urology (ESPU) were derived from nonrandomized clinical trials, retrospective studies, and expert opinion. Among all CPG/BPS, only one was specifically designed for the pediatric population. The studied guidelines did not undertake independent cost-effectiveness and risk-benefit analysis. The main objectives of these guidelines were to translate the best evidence into practice and provide a framework of standardized care while maintaining clinical autonomy and physician judgment. However, the limitations identified in the CPG/BPS for the diagnosis and management of varicocele in children and adolescents indicate ample opportunities for research and future incorporation of higher quality standards in patient care

    Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPqThis paper proposes a technical-pedagogic approach on the music dynamics played on the trumpet by using four pieces by the Brazilian composer Matheus Bitondi for solo trumpet in chamber music - duet setting. The research, study and practice of music expression tools can aid on the performance of a piece. The present compositions were selected through a bibliographical research finding excerpts where dynamic changes occur. Later, trumpet exercises from published trumpet methods were suggested in addition to other exercises created and adapted by the author. The discussed dynamic variations were classified and the excerpts were recorded and made available through QR code enabling the reader to listen and see the recording’s sound wave patterns. In addition to the proposals and recordings this research presents a historical content on the music dynamics for trumpet in the Portuguese language, a synthesis of the research done on the topic and provides the score for the four works by Bitondi.Este trabalho propõe uma abordagem técnico-pedagógica relacionada à dinâmica no trompete, utilizando-se de quatro obras do compositor brasileiro Matheus Bitondi (1979-), para trompete solista em música de câmara – formação duo. Nota-se que a pesquisa, estudo e prática dessa ferramenta da expressividade podem auxiliar na performance de uma obra musical. Por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, foi realizada a seleção das obras, dos trechos os quais ocorrem as variações de intensidade e, posteriormente, foram sugeridos exercícios encontrados em publicações para trompete, adicionando-se outros que foram elaborados e adaptados pelo autor.

    Com o objetivo de aprimorar a manutenção da memória coletiva através da Performance Musical, o presente trabalho investiga as práticas e reminiscências musicais da Comunidade Remanescente do Quilombo do Carmo (São Roque – SP). O atual contexto sociocultural e a inobservância das políticas públicas culturais às práticas musicais são reflexos de uma arena montada desde o Séc. XVIII, na Comunidade do Carmo. A fim de não reproduzir uma nova opressão no campo intelectual, o presente trabalho considera as narrativas históricas, a natureza das práticas e Celebrações, bem como a Oralidade como principal prática social local. A Pesquisa-ação fornece procedimentos metodológicos compatíveis com as características citadas acima, e com a produção acadêmica atenta em estabelecer relações com as demandas da sociedade, através dos saberes gerados, visando não somente o auxílio à agenda social, mas, também, contribuindo para a legitimidade da Universidade Pública. Pertinente às demandas sociais e acadêmicas, o conceito de Prática da Memória possibilitou a investigação da Memória na área da Performance Musical. O conceito de Performance e Performer foram redimensionados para a realidade da pesquisa. Por fim o trabalho promove a efetiva articulação da produção acadêmica, na área da Performance Musical, com as políticas públicas culturais vigentes ao demonstrar o campo dinâmico que se estabelece entre Performance e Memória: a Performance Musical como território da memória.In order to improve the maintenance of the collective memory through musical performance, this work investigates the musical practices and reminiscences of the Comunidade Remanescente do Quilombo do Carmo (São Roque – SP). The current socio-cultural context and the disregard of public cultural policies for musical practices are the reflection of an arena set up since the 18th Century in the do Carmo Community. In order not to reproduce a new oppression in the academic field, this thesis takes into account the historical narratives and the nature of practices and celebrations, as well as Orality as the main local social practice. The action-research provides methodological procedures compatible with the characteristics mentioned above, as well as with an academic production that is insterested in establishing relationships with society’s demands through generated knowledge, aiming not only at assisting the social agenda, but also at contributing to the legitimacy of the public university. Pertinent to both social and academic demands, the concept of Memory Practice made the investigation of Memory in the area of Musical Performance possible. The concept of Performance and Performer were adapted to the reality of the research. Finally, this work promotes an effective articulation between the academic production in the area of Musical Performance and the current public cultural policies, as it demonstrates the dynamic field that is established between Performance and Memory: the Musical Performance as the territory of memory.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)CAPES: 001

    Hydrogen, particularly in renewable forms like green hydrogen and biohydrogen, is critical for decarbonization and sustainable development. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the multifaceted role of hydrogen and its versatility in industrial applications, energy storage, and transportation while addressing its potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. The PRISMA methodology was applied, systematically analyzing over 25,000 publications and reports from 2017 to 2024, focusing on cutting-edge production methods like electrolysis and biomass conversion. Hydrogen production processes are explored, including water electrolysis, a clean method powered by renewable energy, and biohydrogen routes utilizing biomass and organic waste through thermochemical and biological conversions. These innovations align with global decarbonization targets, reducing emissions in hard-to-abate sectors like steel and aviation. The study also highlights hydrogen's evolving global market, with investments exceeding USD 680 billion and expanding project portfolios in Europe, North America, and Asia. Green finance, via tools like green bonds and sustainability-linked loans, is identified as essential for scaling hydrogen technologies. By integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, hydrogen projects ensure socio-economic benefits, including job creation and reduced reliance on fossil fuels. Moreover, hydrogen is projected to reduce CO2 emissions by 6.5% by 2050, making it a key element in climate strategies. In conclusion, this study offers a thorough overview of hydrogen's role in achieving net-zero emissions. Its findings highlight the important interplay between technological innovation, market dynamics, and sustainable finance, providing actionable insights to aid in policy formulation and strategic decision-making. By harnessing hydrogen's potential, society can advance the energy transition and promote a resilient, low-carbon future

    Trabalho de conclusão de curso (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Administração, Contabilidade, Economia e Gestão de Políticas Públicas, Departamento de Administração, 2018.O Distrito Federal vem crescendo de maneira notável com o passar dos anos desde a sua fundação, no ano 1960, pelo então Presidente da República, Juscelino Kubitschek. A previsão naquela época era de que, até o ano 2000, Brasília teria aproximada de 500 mil habitantes, o que não se confirmou, pois, de acordo com o censo do IBGE realizado no ano de 2000, a população da Capital Federal era de 1.061.094 habitantes. Atualmente, a população do DF já ultrapassou o quantitativo de três milhões de habitantes, o que comprova o intenso processo de crescimento populacional na região. Deste modo, o presente trabalho analisou a relação entre este fenômeno e o desenvolvimento sustentável da região a partir do ano 2000 até 2015, com base em dados divulgados pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) e pela Companhia de Planejamento do Distrito Federal (CODEPLAN), evidenciando também os fatores motivacionais que atraem os imigrantes para o DF, as principais origens destes e destinos dos emigrantes, bem como a representatividade da população natural e imigrante na composição da dos residentes da Capital ao longo do período de análise proposto. O estudo consiste em uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, utilizando uma abordagem mista, por conter análises quantitativas e qualitativas e, quanto a sua natureza e objetivo, se caracteriza por ser básica e exploratória, respectivamente. Concluiu-se, portanto, que o Distrito Federal se desenvolveu de maneira parcialmente sustentável, com base nos indicadores selecionados, uma vez que apresentou progressos nos aspectos sociais e econômicos, porém, em contrapartida, índices negativos no aspecto ambiental. Já em relação à composição de sua população, apenas no período analisado no censo de 2010 que a população natural represtou a maioria dos habitantes do DF, pois nos demais períodos, os imigrantes (brasileiros ou estrangeiros) representaram a maioria na composição da região. Os principais motivos que atraem os imigrantes para a Capital são os relacionados, direta ou indiretamente, ao trabalho e melhores condições de vida. Por fim, a grande maioria desses apresenta como origem o Nordeste ou Sudeste e, em relação ao movimento de saída, o principal destino da população emigrante do DF é o próprio Centro Oeste e a região Sudeste do Brasil
