Programa VAMOS na promoção da atividade física e alimentação saudável na atenção primária à saúde: a influência da renda e do ambiente construído
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Desportos, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Física, Florianópolis, 2021.Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto da implementação do ?Programa Vida Ativa Melhorando a Saúde ? VAMOS?, versão 2.0, na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina - Brasil, considerando a renda (local) e o ambiente construído (acesso aos locais para prática de atividade física e alimentação saudável). Realizamos um ensaio pragmático, com métodos mistos, baseado na ferramenta RE-AIM. O Programa VAMOS, versão 2.0, foi implementado na APS entre 2016 e 2019 e sua intervenção foi conduzida por profissionais de Educação Física treinados e certificados. A amostra foi constituída por profissionais da saúde (multiplicadores da intervenção, gestores e demais profissionais da APS) (n = 33) e usuários da APS (n = 317) e a coleta de dados foi composta de entrevistas, grupos focais e medidas objetivas (acelerometria e antropometria). Para testar as associações da renda e do ambiente construído, utilizamos dados secundários (censo demográfico, inquérito telefônico, rede de ruas de Florianópolis e mapeamento dos espaços públicos de lazer e dos estabelecimentos comerciais de alimentos de Florianópolis). Além disso, realizamos três tipos de análise: qualitativa (NVivo 12), quantitativa (SPSS 22) e geoespacial (ArcGIS 10.5). Os resultados estão apresentados em cinco artigos. No primeiro artigo, descrevemos o design e o método da intervenção do Programa VAMOS, implementada na APS. A intervenção é direcionada para usuários da APS brasileira e visa motivá-los a adotarem um estilo de vida ativo e saudável por meio da atividade física e alimentação. O Programa VAMOS segue um design de intervenção respaldado nas dimensões da ferramenta RE-AIM (Alcance; Efetividade, Adoção; Implementação e; Manutenção). No segundo artigo, analisamos a adoção do Programa VAMOS pelas Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) e pelos profissionais da saúde treinados e certificados no Programa VAMOS. A adoção foi de 25% entre as UBS e 80% entre os profissionais da saúde. Três temas estiveram relacionados ao processo de adoção: percepções dos profissionais da saúde, desafios de implementação e parcerias. Constatamos que fatores organizacionais relacionados a recursos humanos e financeiros, assim como de infraestrutura são desafios que os profissionais da saúde enfrentam ao implementar ações coletivas na APS, mas que não foram fatores inerentes à adoção do Programa VAMOS. No terceiro artigo, verificamos o alcance do Programa VAMOS pelos usuários das UBS e a influência da renda e do ambiente construído nos níveis de participação e de retenção na intervenção. As taxas de alcance foram: recrutamento 2,4%; participação 78,6% e; retenção 48%. Verificamos que usuários tanto com renda baixa quanto com alta, que tinham acesso a locais para a prática de atividade física (até 1000 metros) e que residiam próximo (até 500 metros) ou mais distante (= 1501 metros) das UBS, iniciaram a participação na intervenção (p 0,05). Concluímos que este estudo, além de apresentar aspectos fundamentais relacionados à implementação de uma intervenção no âmbito da APS ? Programa VAMOS, alerta para a influência da renda e do ambiente construído nos níveis de alcance da população e na adesão e manutenção para um estilo de vida saudável. Estas evidências merecem importância no planejamento e oferta de intervenções propostas na saúde pública como também em outros espaços.Abstract: This study aimed to assess the impact of the implementation of the Program ?Active Life Improving Health - VAMOS?, version 2.0, in the Primary Health Care (PHC) of the city of Florianópolis, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, considering (local) income and the built environment (access to places for physical activity practice and healthy eating). We carried out a pragmatic study with mixed methods based on the RE-AIM framework. The VAMOS Program, version 2.0, was implemented in PHC between 2016 and 2019 and its intervention was conducted by trained and certified Physical Education professionals. The sample consisted of health professionals (intervention multipliers, managers and other PHC professionals) (n = 33) and PHC users (n = 317), and data collection was composed of interviews, focus groups and objective measures (accelerometry and anthropometry). To test the associations of income and built environment, we used secondary data (demographic census, telephone survey, the Florianópolis street network, and a mapping of the public leisure spaces and food stores of Florianópolis). In addition, we performed three types of analysis: qualitative (NVivo 12), quantitative (SPSS 22) and geospatial (ArcGIS 10.5). The results are presented in five articles. In the first one, we described the design and intervention method of the VAMOS Program, implemented in PHC. The intervention is targeted at users of the Brazilian PHC and aims to motivate them to adopt an active and healthy lifestyle by means of physical activity and eating habits. The VAMOS Program follows an intervention design grounded on the dimensions of the RE-AIM framework (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance). In the second article, we analyzed the adoption of the VAMOS Program by Primary Care Units (UBS) and by health professionals who were trained and certified to implement the program. Adoption was 25% among the UBS and 80% among the health professionals. Three themes were related to the adoption process: health professionals? perceptions, implementation challenges and partnerships. We verified that organizational factors related to human and financial resources, as well as infrastructure factors, are challenges that the health professionals face when they implement collective actions in PHC; however, such factors were not inherent in the adoption of the VAMOS Program. In the third article, we investigated the reach of the VAMOS Program among UBS users and the influence of income and of the built environment on levels of participation and retention in the intervention. The reach rates were: recruitment 2.4%; participation 78.6%; and retention 48%. We found that high- and low-income users who had access to places for physical activity practice (up to 1000 meters) and who lived near to (up to 500 meters) or more distant from (= 1,501 meters) the UBS initiated participation in the intervention (p 0.05). We conclude that this study presents fundamental aspects related to the implementation of an intervention in the scope of PHC - VAMOS Program and shows that income and the built environment influence reach rates and the population?s adherence to and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. This evidence deserves importance in planning and offering proposed interventions in public health as well as in other spaces
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
