    TCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio Econômico, Curso de Serviço Social.O presente trabalho objetiva mostrar a relevância da organização comunitária na ordem de qualquer reivindicação. Este destaca a saúde desde o seu conceito menos abrangente até a promulgação da Constituição Federal e a Lei Orgânica da Saúde em 1990, que instituíram um conceito universal de saúde a todos os indivíduos. Enfatiza as propostas estabelecidas pelas referidas leis como a descentralização e a municipalização até a chegada dos Conselhos de Saúde com a participação da Comunidade legitimada. Contextualiza brevemente o crescimento do bairro Trindade desde a década de 80, como eram tratadas as questões de saúde da população desta região e a partir de quando surgiu a necessidade das mobilizações pela implantação de um Centro de Saúde na comunidade. Expõe as dificuldades e os avanços no processo das reivindicações. Desde a morosidade em marcar reuniões e encontros com os governantes até a realização da importante reunião com a então prefeita de Florianópolis A' ngela Amin, que na ocasião se prontificou a atender a solicitação da comunidade. Mostra porque foi formada uma Comissão Local de Saúde na região e qual a diferença para um Conselho Local de Saúde. Sugere como desafio à união e a organização entre comunidades na busca por um objetivo coletivo, enfocando o poder do grup

    Highly bioeroded rhodoliths from the Vitória-Trindade seamount chain (Brazil, southwestern Atlantic)

    Rhodoliths are nodules mainly composed of crustose coralline algae with subordinate encrusting organisms, formed by successive overlapping encrustation. The subspheroidal rhodoliths from the Vitória-Trindade Seamount Chain (Jaseur Seamount and Trindade Island shelf; Brazil, southwestern Atlantic), sampled at water depths from 65 to 74 m, were built by crustose coralline algae (Harveylithon, Lithophyllum, Lithothamnion, Mesophyllum, Roseolithon, and Sporolithon) and subordinated encrusting foraminifera (agglutinated, unidentified hyaline, and Homotrema rubrum), bryozoans, serpulids, and balanids. Successive taphonomic phases of bioerosion, boring filling, and cement precipitation modified the original rhodolith inner structures resulting in a complex structureless mass of coralline algal fragments, encrusting organisms, borings, lithified fine-grained sediment, and carbonate cement. Borings include the ichnogenera Entobia (produced by etching sponges), Gastrochaenolites (boring bivalves) and Trypanites (polychaetes and sipunculid worms). The lithification of the material filling the borings (micrite and carbonate cements) created new substrates for subsequent bioerosion. Radiocarbon dating of selectively sampled invertebrate and algal skeletons in the rhodolith interior yielded calibrated ages of hundreds of years (up to 912 +/- 152 years cal. BP on the Trindade insular shelf and up to 763 +/- 131 years cal. BP on Jaseur Seamount). These values indicate growth rates from 0.1 to 0.5 mm/year, which are significantly higher than those recorded from rhodoliths at similar depths on the Brazilian shelf. Low sedimentation settings and high productivity at the tops of the seamounts and island shelf promoted the growth of nodule frame builders, both autotrophs and heterotrophs, and favored continuous activity of bioeroders

    Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.

    No full text
    IFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells
