Abstract:
O aumento de temperatura do ar é uma realidade inquestionável. Vários trabalhos em macroescala confirmam esse fato, mas é preciso melhorar nossa compreensão, também, em escalas menores. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar e comparar as normais climatológicas das temperaturas máxima, mínima e média compensada do período de 1961-1990 (normal de referência) com as normais climatológicas provisórias de 1994-2015, com o propósito de identificar mudanças nos padrões de temperatura e obter uma avaliação mais refinada das mudanças climáticas ocorridas nas últimas décadas no estado do Ceará, Brasil. Para tal, utilizou-se do banco de dados meteorológicos do INMET. O comportamento das temperaturas máxima, mínima e média compensada revelou para todas as estações selecionadas, um padrão de aumento do período 1994-2015 em relação ao período 1961-1990, da ordem de 0,7 oC, 0,4 oC e 0,6 oC em média, respectivamente. Destaca-se que esse aumento alcançou todo o estado mas, como cada localidade apresenta particularidades, a alta da temperatura não foi uniforme variando em função do setor do estado. As temperaturas médias foram “puxadas” para cima mais por conta dos aumentos das temperaturas máximas do que devido às medidas das temperaturas mínimas.Palavras-chave: Aquecimento do Ar; Normais Climatológicas; Mesoescala. Space-Time Analysis of Temperatures in Ceará in the Context of Climate Change A B S T R A C TSpatiotemporal analysis of temperatures in Ceará-Brazil in the context of climate change. The rise in air temperature is an unquestionable reality. Several studies in macroscale confirm this fact, but we must improve our understanding also at smaller scales. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the climate normals of maximum, minimum and average temperature of the 1961-1990 period (normal reference) with the provisional climate normals from 1994 to 2015, with the purpose of identifying changes in temperature patterns and a more refined assessment of climate change over the past decades in the state of Ceará. For this, the database is used, taken from the National Meteorological Institute of Brazil (INMET). The behavior of the maximum, minimum and average temperature revealed for all selected stations, a pattern of increased period 1994-2015 for the period 1961-1990, in the order of 0.7 °C, 0.4 °C and 0.6 oC in average, respectively. It is noteworthy that this increase reached throughout the state but as each location has special features, the temperature rise has not been uniform. It changed due to the state section. Average temperatures were "pulled" up more because of the rise in maximum temperatures that due to the measures of minimum temperatures.Keywords: Air Warming, Climate Normals, Mesoscale.

Abstract:
Sustainable and socially just decarbonization faces numerous challenges, owing to high land demands for wind farms and weak economic and political institutions. In Brazil, a leader in the Global South in terms of rapid installation of wind power capacity since the 2001 electricity crisis, firms have built wind farms near host communities that are politically and economically marginalized, giving rise to numerous forms of subtle contention and overt opposition. We aimed to better understand the licensing materials for wind farms and the content of the host communities’ concerns about wind farms. We analyzed 18 “simplified” environmental impact reports, which created a legal path for wind farm construction, and conducted qualitative interviews in host communities in coastal Ceará state in northeastern Brazil. Our analysis reveals how firms appropriated and manipulated “crisis” in their environmental impact reports. Interviews with host community members reveal themes of ecological damage, fear, privatized land, employment, migrant workers and noise, in addition to evidence of active resistance to wind farms. These findings corroborate previous work on the overall nature of host community perceptions, add additional insight on the content of the licensing materials and expand the number of host communities analyzed for emerging sustainability challenges. More rigorous licensing procedures are needed to reduce corrupt practices, as well as the offering of avenues for community participation in the decision-making processes and eventual benefits of the wind farms.

Abstract:
Beach-rock exposures provide a record of Holocene sea-level rise along the 560-km-long northeast-facing coast of Ceará, Brazil, that differs from the record available along the other 4300 km of Brazilian coastline further south. Whereas documentation is available from southern Brazil to show Holocene sea levels as much as 5 m above today's level, our observations along the northeastern coast indicate that sea level here was not above the present-day level during the Holocene. Near Jericoacoara, about 240 km northwest of Fortaleza, characterized by strong surf, Precambrian rocks crop out from under a temporary cover of sand in small protected locations with less surf. Here in this upper tidal zone beach rock is being formed, while it is being dismembered synchronously by erosion at lower tide levels. This shows a rising sea level. Along the entire coast of Ceará west of Ponta Grossa the absence of beach rock higher than spring tide level indicates that sea-level was not above its present-day level during the Holocene.Notches in bedrock situated between 2 m and 6 m above spring-tide high-water level that we formerly described as Holocene, are now believed to be Sangamonian.

Abstract:
The accelerated urbanisation process that Brazil has gone through in the last 50 years has given rise to daunting challenges for public managers, especially in terms of local public policy management for the building of “healthy cities”. In Sobral, a municipality of 173,000 inhabitants in Ceará in the North-eastern region of Brazil, a number of municipal policies were initiated beginning in 1997, many in partnership with the federal and state governments. They were inspired by the vision of a healthy and equitable city and were marked by strategic planning and the implementation of intersectoral projects. This article lays out some of the actions and their results, including an increase in the public supply of drinking water from 65% to 97% of households; an increase in sewage networks from 7% to 65%; an increase in public refuse collection from 42% to 90%; the expansion of green areas; the construction of nine kilometres of bicycle paths; the universalisation of integral health care through the Family Health Strategy through a network with specialised out-patient and hospital services; and a 148% increase in the number of children enrolled in primary school. These initiatives also resulted in the improvement of quality of life indicators, including a reduction in infant mortality from 61.4 to 19.0 per thousand live births, a drop in the mortality rate from traffic accidents from 33.40 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2001 to 15.25 in 2003; and a jump in literacy rates among children in the first cycle of primary school from 40 to 90.7%. In the present article, the authors describe some of the successful strategies and projects initiated between 1997 and 2003, and discuss how this experience could be reproduced in other communities across Brazil and around the world.

The Ceara Rise is a seismic peak located in the Atlantic Ocean and receives both marine and terrigenous sediments. These sediments are important for understanding the paleoclimatic and paleo-environmental conditions in the ocean. With the goal of reconstructing the past sea surface temperature (SST), the lipid biomarkers n-alkanes and alkenones were analyzed in sediments of Ceara Rise. The quantification of both biomarkers was performed by Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID). For the n-alkanes, analytical curves, which resulted in acceptable figures of merit by official norms and the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology(Inmetro) were built. Because there is no alkenone standard commercially available for the construction of analytical curves for alkenones, the quantification was done by comparison of the areas of analytes to the area of a standard ketone commercially available. The quantification by comparison areas was validated by T-Test, in which the values of concentration of n-alkanes obtained for this quantification method were compared with the calculated concentrations from analytical curves, which led to satisfactory results. The n-alkanes were evaluated according to the proxies Carbon Preference Index (CPI) and Average Carbon Length (ACL). The results suggest that the main source of organic matter in the studied sediments originates from terrigenous material transported by rivers and by wind action. The , proxy that use the concentration of alkenones to calculate the SST, was used for climatic reconstruction of the region. The concentration range of alkenones was 0.001 to 0.516 μg g-1. According to the result of proxy, the estimated lowest temperature was 22.5 °C, toward the end of Early Miocene, while the highest temperature, 28.5 ° C, was held at half the Early Oligocene.

The type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disease of increasing importance in public health, since its incidence and prevalence have dauntingly advanced, and has been caused by a combination of genetic factors and lifestyle. In this view, public health indicates primary prevention to identify risk factors for T2DM and strategize in order to avoid exposure to risk by delaying or preventing the onset of the disease. The objective was to evaluate the risk for the development of T2DM among adults in Itapipoca town-CearÃ. It is a quantitative research with cross-sectional observational study conducted from January to March 2010, with 419 users of EstratÃgia SaÃde da FamÃlia (ESF) in Itapipoca town-CearÃ, the participants aged between 20 and 59 years. To collect data we applied a form in which demographic and clinical data and Finnish Diabetes Risk Score were registered. The data were stored in Excel, and processed in the Statistical Package for Social Science 18.0. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of CearÃ, under protocol 346/09. Out of the 419 participating users, 88.1% were female and the average age was 37 years, 60.4% were married or had common law-marriage, 39.4% attended to part of primary school and 58.2% belonged to lower social classes. Regarding risk factors for T2DM, 25.3% were aged ≥ 45 years, 59.7% were overweight, 84% were classified as cardiovascular risk, 83.3% were sedentary, 53.7% reported not eating fruit and / or vegetables daily, 12.9% were taking anti-hypertensive, 5.3% reported a previous history of high glucose and 47% had family history of T2DM. As observed, 5.2% of the sample were classified as having hypertension, and only 0.7% with probable diabetes. As for the risk levels for T2DM, 24.6% were at low risk, 63% in moderate risk and 11.7% at high risk. Amongst participants with high risk, 12.0% were men, 30.2% were aged ≥ 45 years, 37.4% were overweight, 21.1% were at increased cardiovascular risk, 12.9% were sedentary; 14.7% did not eat fruit / vegetables daily, 31.5% took antihypertensive drugs, 81.8% reported a history of high glucose and 23.9% had family history of T2DM. This study opens doors for further intervention research in the town, in which individuals at high risk for T2DM would be accompanied by health professionals from the ESF and the NÃcleos de Apoio à SaÃde da FamÃlia. With the aim to reduce or delay the onset of the disease, the individuals would be given guidance as to changes in lifestyle and interventions on potential risk factors found.

The planters play an important role in agriculture because they create the right conditions for the seeding process is done correctly. One of the factors that contribute to successful crop establishment is the distribution uniformity and depth of deposition of seeds at sowing, these factors ensure adequate plant population. It is very difficult to determine all the points that influence agricultural operations, so the tools of qualities present themselves as an alternative to ensure proper performance of the process in terms of the critical factors in this sense the CEP assists in quality control in the process steps especially in repetitive processes, it aims to ensure stable and continuous process improvement. This study aimed to assess the depth and uniformity of seed corn and rice based on two theoretical speeds shift 4 and 7 km.h-1 for the precision seeders mechanical and pneumatic and speed of 4 km and 8 km . h-1 for seed drills. The experiment was conducted in the experimental area of the Department of Agricultural Engineering, Federal University of Ceará, Campus do Pici, Fortaleza, Ceará. The soil where the experiment was conducted was classified as Typic yellow. The precision sowing machines were set to a spacing of 14 cm between maize and depth of 5 cm, because the seed drills was adjusted to the density of rice seed 80 g / m depth of 3 cm. For the precision seeders and streaming held up the process of seeding a distance of 50 m in length with seed corn (Zea mays L.) and rice, respectively. For precision sowing intervals of 1 m were taken at random for assessing the longitudinal distribution, as for seed drills evaluating the distribution density of the seeding was performed according to the recommendations of Fields (1998). The depth of deposition of seeds of maize and rice was performed by the method of manual excavation. Data were analyzed using Minitab Software - Version 16. With the increase in travel speed difference was observed according to the method of Kurachi et al. (1989) for the number of acceptable spacing, since with increasing travel speed and number of acceptable spacing decreased for both seeders, but the statistical analysis there was no difference between the measured speeds and speed did not have any influence on depth deposition of seeds to the air seeder. For seed drills to increase speed influenced the distribution uniformity and depth of rice seeds.
As semeadoras desempenham um papel importante para a agricultura, pois elas criam as condições adequadas para que o processo de semeadura seja feito de maneira correta. Um dos fatores que contribuem para o sucesso no estabelecimento da cultura é a uniformidade de distribuição e a profundidade de deposição de sementes no sulco de semeadura, estes fatores asseguram a população adequada de plantas. É muito complicado determinar todos os pontos que influem nas operações agrícolas, por isso as ferramentas de qualidades se apresentam como uma alternativa para garantir o desempenho adequado do processo em função dos fatores críticos, neste sentido o Controle Estatístico Processo auxilia no controle da qualidade nas etapas do processo, principalmente nos processos repetitivos, pois visa garantir a estabilidade e a melhoria contínua do processo. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a profundidade e a uniformidade de distribuição de sementes de milho e arroz em função de duas velocidades teóricas de deslocamento 4 e 7 km.h-1 para as semeadoras de precisão mecânica e pneumática e as velocidade de 4 e 8 km.h-1 para a semeadora de fluxo contínuo. O experimento foi realizado na área experimental do Departamento de Engenharia Agrícola da Universidade Federal do Ceará, Campus do Pici, Fortaleza, Ceará. O solo onde foi realizado o experimento foi classificado como Argissolo Vermelho-amarelo. As semeadoras de precisão foram reguladas para o espaçamento de 14 cm entre as sementes de milho e profundidade de 5 cm, já a semeadora de fluxo contínuo foi regulada para obter a densidade de 80 g sementes de arroz/m e profundidade de 3 cm. Para as semeadoras de precisão e fluxo contínuo realizou-se o processo de semeadura numa distância de 50 m de comprimento com sementes de milho (Zea mays L.) e arroz, respectivamente. Para as semeadoras de precisão intervalos de 1m foram tomados ao acaso para a avaliação da distribuição longitudinal, já para a semeadora de fluxo contínuo a avaliação da densidade de distribuição da semeadora foi realizada conforme as recomendações de Campos (1998). A profundidade de deposição de sementes de milho e arroz foi realizada por meio do método da escavação manual. Os dados foram analisados através do Software Minitab – Versão 16. Com o aumento da velocidade de deslocamento houve diferença segundo a metodologia de Kurachi et al. (1989) para o número de espaçamentos aceitáveis, já que com o aumento da velocidade de deslocamento o número de espaçamentos aceitáveis diminuiu para ambas as semeadoras, mas nas análises estatísticas não houve diferença entre as velocidades avaliadas e a velocidade de deslocamento não apresentou influência na profundidade de deposição de sementes para a semeadora pneumática. Para a semeadora de fluxo contínuo o aumento da velocidade influenciou na uniformidade de distribuição e na profundidade das sementes de arroz.

The main objective of this study was to determine the water use efficiency, the economic efficiency and the profit indexes for rice (Oryza sativa, L.) in the Morada Nova Irrigation District, state of Ceará, Brazil, from July to December, 2003. EPAGRI 109 cultivar was cropped in three different soil units: sandyloam, silt and clay loam, the last two called units I and II, respectively. Parshall flumes and siphon tubes were used to measure and apply water to the field basins. The irrigation system used was basin irrigation (inundation). Data used for the economical analysis were obtained from costs and revenues surveyed in each plot evaluated. Irrigation period for planning for the soil and climate conditions of Morada Nova was 120 days. The water use efficiency for sandy soils presented average values of 0.2 kg.m-3; in the case of heavy soils such value was 0.43 kg.m-3. The water application efficiency for clay-loam soils was 66% in average, whereas for sandy-loam was 35%, considering, in both cases, irrigation without deficit. Net profit for a thousand cubic meter, using diverted and applied water methodology, showed superiority for clay-loam soils with values between R$179,00 and R$94,00, while for sandy soils the values were less than R$58,00. Profit analysis for sandy-loam and clay-loam showed feasibility for both soil units, based on conventional criteria of investment analysis, but considering in the simulation a minimum wage of R$240,00/worker, crop plan for the sandy-loam unit was not feasible, according to the obtained results: cost-benefit relation (B/C) equal to 0.98; net present value (VPL) of – 603.9 and “internal rate of return” (TIR) equal to 3.5%. For the case of clay-loam soil the indexes presented feasibility: B/C = 1.145; VPL = R$4.204,10 and TIR = 60.33%.
Estudar a eficiência do uso da água (EUA), a eficiência econômica e os indicadores de rentabilidade na cultura do arroz (Oryza sativa, L.), foram os principais objetivos deste trabalho, realizado no Perímetro Irrigado de Morada Nova, Ceará, no período de julho a dezembro de 2003. Estabeleceu-se a cultura do arroz cultivar EPAGRI 109, em unidades de solo com texturas areia-franca, franca e argilo-siltosa, sendo esta, em duas áreas, as quais denominaram-se I e II. Utilizaram-se calhas Parshall e sifões de plástico como instrumentos para medição e aplicação de água aos tabuleiros. O sistema de irrigação utilizado foi inundação. Os dados utilizados na análise econômica foram de levantamentos de custos e receitas pertinentes à cada uma das unidades avaliadas. O período de irrigação do cultivo de arroz para as condições de solo e clima no Distrito de Irrigação Morada Nova situa-se em torno de 120 dias, período este que deve ser tomado como referência para o planejamento da irrigação. A eficiência de uso da água para os solos de textura leve apresentou valores médios de 0,2 kg.m-3; já para os solos de textura pesada, de 0,43 kg.m-3. A eficiência de aplicação de água na unidade textural argilo-siltosa, solo adequado ao cultivo de arroz apresentou um valor médio de 66%. Na unidade textural areia franca, porém, solo sem aptidão ao cultivo do arroz, a eficiência de aplicação foi apenas de 35%, considerando-se em ambos os casos, somente os eventos de irrigação sem déficit. A rentabilidade líquida de cada mil m3 , utilizando a metodologia de cobrança de água derivada e aplicada, mostrou-se superior nos solos argilo-siltosos com valores entre R$ 179,0 e R$ 94,0, enquanto os solos de textura mais leve esta rentabilidade não ultrapassou os R$ 58,0. A receita líquida obtida em 1,0 ha de arroz na unidade textural areia franca (R$1.900,00), comparativamente ao valor obtido na unidade textural argilo-siltosa (R$2.400,00), incentiva o cultivo de arroz em solos sem aptidão para a cultura, porquanto o sistema de cobrança de água atualmente em vigor, leva em consideração a área irrigada e não o volume de água aplicada. A análise da rentabilidade nas unidades texturais areia franca e argilo-siltosa, demonstrou a viabilidade do cultivo do arroz para ambas as unidades, em base aos critérios convencionais da análise de investimento, porém, simulando-se uma remuneração mensal do produtor no valor de R$ 240,0, o plano de cultivo na unidade textural areia-franca é inviável, conforme os resultados obtidos: relação benefício custo (B/C) 0,98; valor presente líquido (VPL) -603,9 e taxa interna de retorno (TIR) 3,5%. Na unidade textural argilo-siltosa, porém, os indicadores se mostraram viáveis: B/C 1,145, VPL R$ 4.204,1 e TIR 60,33%.

Les fleuves urbains au Brésil sont synonymes d'environnements dégradés, dévalués et niés par la société. Ces espaces se sont rendus alternative d'accès au logement pour une masse de pauvres qui ne peuvent pas acquérir un espace sûr la ville. La jonction de pauvreté, d'habitation improvisée, peu d'infrastructure, avec l'occupation d'espaces exposés à des aléas naturels, a créé des territoires de risques et des vulnérabilités, qui fréquentement coïncident avec les environnements fluviaux urbains. Ainsi, il s'est défini comme principale proposition de cette thèse analyser les risques et les vulnérabilités socio-environnementaux de fleuves urbains au Brésil, en ayant le bassin hydrographique du fleuve Maranguapinho, localisé dans la Région Métropolitaine de Fortaleza - RMF, Ceará, comme espace d'étude de cas pour compréhension des interrelations entre des vulnérabilités sociales et exposition aux risques naturels, principalement les risques d'inondations. La méthodologie utilisée a employé des techniques statistiques, de la superposition cartographique, des incursions dans l’espace d’étude, pour produire un indice de vulnérabilité socio-environnementaux du secteur étudié. Il s'est conclu qu'il y a des forts coïncidences entre les espaces susceptibles à des processus naturels dangereux, comme est le cas des inondations - processus naturel remorque à la dynamique des fleuves et de leurs bassins hydrographiques, et les espaces de la ville qui présentent les pires indicateurs sociaux, économiques et de l'accès à des services et l'infrastructure urbaine
Os rios urbanos no Brasil são sinônimos de ambientes degradados, desvalorizados e negados pela sociedade. Esses espaços se tornaram a alternativa de acesso à moradia para uma massa de pobres que não podem adquirir um espaço seguro na cidade. A junção de pobreza, habitação improvisada, pouca infraestrutura, com a ocupação de espaços expostos a perigos naturais, criou territórios de riscos e vulnerabilidades, que frequentemente coincidem com os ambientes fluviais urbanos. Assim, definiu-se como principal proposta desta tese analisar os riscos e as vulnerabilidades socioambientais de rios urbanos no Brasil, tendo a bacia hidrográfica do rio Maranguapinho, localizada na Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza – RMF, Ceará, como área de estudo de caso para compreensão das inter-relações das vulnerabilidades sociais e exposição aos riscos naturais, principalmente os riscos de inundações. A metodologia utilizada empregou técnicas estatísticas, sobreposição cartográfica, trabalhos de campo, para produzir um índice de vulnerabilidade socioambiental da área estudada. Concluiu-se que há fortes coincidências entre os espaços susceptíveis a processos naturais perigosos, como é o caso das inundações – processo natural atrelado à dinâmica dos rios e de suas bacias hidrográficas, e os espaços da cidade que apresentam os piores indicadores sociais, econômicos e de acesso a serviços e infraestrutura urbana
The urban rivers in Brazil are synonymous of degraded, devaluated and denied environments for the society. These spaces had become the alternative access to housing for a mass of poor persons who cannot acquire a safe space in the city. The junction of poverty, improvised habitation, little infrastructure, with the occupation of prone spaces to the natural hazards, created territories of risks and vulnerabilities, that frequently coincide with urban fluvial environments. Thus, the main proposal of this thesis is to analyze the risks and the socioenvironmental vulnerabilities of urban rivers in Brazil, having being chosen the the Maranguapinho river hydrographic basin as case study area, located in the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza - MRF, Ceará, to the understanding of the inter-relations between social vulnerabilities and exposure to the natural risks, mainly the risks of floodings. The methodology used statistical techniques, cartographic overlapping, field research, to produce an socio-environmental vulnerability index of the case study area. It was concluded that it has serious coincidences between the susceptibles spaces to natural hazards processes, e.g floodings – natural process linked to the rivers’ dynamics and its hydrographic basin, and the spaces of the city that present the worse social, economic, access the services and urban infrastructure index

Study of adverse events in an accredited secondary hospital of CearÃ: an approach to risk management. Author: Milena Pontes Portela Beserra. Supervisor: ProfÂ. Dr Marta Maria de FranÃa Fonteles. [Master degreeâs dissertation. Post Graduation in Pharmaceutical Science. Department of Pharmacy â Federal University of CearÃ]. BACKGROUND: Hospital Risk Management acts in the prevention, detection, control or eliminate risks that could cause harm to patients, in Brazil this concept was implemented in 2001 by the National Agency for Sanitary Surveillance (Anvisa), Ministry of Health with the project Sentinel Hospitals, and currently brings together nearly two hundred institutions. It consists basically of three pillars: pharmacovigilance, haemovigilance and technical surveillance. Indicators of results and adverse events are fundamental tools of quality by pointing out aspects of care that can be improved by making patient care without risks and failures, and therefore safer. In order to improve the quality of healthcare services in recent decades had the strength of the Hospital Accreditation Program consisting of external evaluation system that verifies the compliance of the structure and care processes with the adopted set of standards previously established. OBJECTIVES: To study adverse events suffered by hospitalized patients or that were related to drugs and related in a public secondary hospital accredited by National Accreditation Organization (ONA), in 2010, contextualizing the risk management approach in the hospital. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective documentary base at the Hospital General Dr. Waldemar Alcantara (HGWA) a survey of all reports of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), reactions to blood products and technical defects of materials, equipment and drugs, studying, and the risk management with a focus on pharmacovigilance, haemovigilance and technical surveillance, respectively. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: There have been 271 events, with 166 (61.3%) RAM, 64 (23.6%) technical defects, 41 (15.1%) transfusion reactions. We found a higher number of RAM in patients with extreme age and use of antimicrobials, as well as previously reported. The main reported ADRs were dermatological and medical groups were more involved antimicrobials for systemic use. The main blood component was transfused red blood cells, is also a major cause of anemia, transfusion reactions and the main indication. The most transfusion reactions reported were fever (55.6%), dyspnea (8.9%) and urticaria (8.9%), these reactions were immediate in 92.7% of cases, they occurred in up to 24 hours after transfusion. Techniques have been reported 64 complaints of 40 different products, the main products cited were: saline 100 mL closed system (14.1%) and micropore tape (7.8%). Had the potential to cause direct harm to patients 81.3% the complaints and the nursing staff was the main notifier. CONCLUSION: The HGWA presents a program of effective risk management, maintaining and working on positive indicators for the safety of the patient. Even more important is to note that you can perform a quality service in terms of risk management, even when it comes to a public hospital in northeastern Brazil with financial constraints.
Estudo dos eventos adversos em um hospital secundÃrio acreditado do CearÃ: uma abordagem no gerenciamento de riscos. Autora: Milena Pontes Portela Beserra. Orientadora: ProfÂ. DrÂ. Marta Maria de FranÃa Fonteles. [DissertaÃÃo de Mestrado â PÃs-graduaÃÃo em CiÃncias FarmacÃuticasâ Departamento de FarmÃcia da Universidade Federal do CearÃ]. INTRODUÃÃO: O Gerenciamento de Riscos Hospitalares atua na prevenÃÃo, detecÃÃo, controle ou eliminaÃÃo de riscos capazes de causar danos aos pacientes. No Brasil este conceito foi implantado em 2001 pela AgÃncia Nacional de VigilÃncia SanitÃria (Anvisa), do MinistÃrio da SaÃde, com o projeto Hospitais Sentinela, e, atualmente, congrega quase duas centenas de instituiÃÃes. à constituÃdo basicamente por trÃs pilares: farmacovigilÃncia, hemovigilÃncia e tecnovigilÃncia. Indicadores de resultados como os eventos adversos sÃo ferramentas fundamentais da qualidade por apontarem aspectos do cuidado que podem ser melhorados tornando a assistÃncia aos pacientes livre de riscos e falhas e, portanto, mais segura. Com o objetivo de melhorar a qualidade assistencial dos serviÃos, nas Ãltimas dÃcadas, tiveram forÃa os Programas de AcreditaÃÃo Hospitalar que consistem em sistema de avaliaÃÃo externa que verifica a concordÃncia da estrutura e dos processos assistenciais adotados com o conjunto de padrÃes previamente estabelecidos. OBJETIVOS: Estudar eventos adversos que acometeram os pacientes internados ou que se relacionaram a medicamentos e correlatos, em um hospital pÃblico secundÃrio acreditado pela OrganizaÃÃo Nacional de AcreditaÃÃo (ONA), no ano de 2010, contextualizando a abordagem no gerenciamento de risco hospitalar. MÃTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo de base documental no Hospital Geral Dr Waldemar AlcÃntara (HGWA) com levantamento de todas as notificaÃÃes de reaÃÃes adversas a medicamentos (RAM), reaÃÃes aos hemocomponentes e queixas tÃcnicas de materiais, equipamentos e medicamentos, estudando, assim, o gerenciamento de riscos com foco na farmacovigilÃncia, hemovigilÃncia e tecnovigilÃncia, respectivamente. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: Foram notificados 271 eventos, sendo 166 (61,3%) RAM, 64 (23,6%) queixas tÃcnicas e 41 (15,1%) reaÃÃes transfusionais. Foi encontrado maior nÃmero de RAM nos pacientes pertencentes aos extremos etÃrios e em uso de antimicrobianos, conforme jà bem descrito na literatura. As principais RAM notificadas foram as dermatolÃgicas e o grupo medicamentoso mais envolvido foram os antimicrobianos de uso sistÃmico. O principal hemocomponente transfundido foi o concentrado de hemÃcias, sendo tambÃm o maior causador de reaÃÃes transfusionais e a anemia a principal indicaÃÃo. As reaÃÃes transfusionais mais notificadas foram: febre (55,6%), dispnÃia (8,9%) e urticÃria (8,9%), essas reaÃÃes foram imediatas em 92,7% dos casos, pois ocorreram em atà 24h apÃs a transfusÃo. Foram notificadas 64 queixas tÃcnicas de 40 produtos diferentes, os principais produtos citados foram: o soro fisiolÃgico 100mL sistema fechado (14,1%) e fita microporosa (7,8%). PossuÃam potencial para causar dano direto aos pacientes 81,3% das queixas e a equipe de enfermagem foi a principal notificadora. CONCLUSÃO: O HGWA apresenta um programa de gerenciamento de riscos eficiente, com manutenÃÃo de indicadores positivos e trabalhando em prol da seguranÃa do paciente. Ainda mais importante à ressaltar que à possÃvel realizar um serviÃo de qualidade, em termos de gerenciamento de riscos, mesmo quando se trata de um hospital pÃblico do nordeste brasileiro com limitaÃÃes financeiras.

Abstract:
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo determinar a prevalÃncia de enteroparasitos em hortaliÃas, mais especificamente a alface (Lactuca sativa) de hortas comerciais e de uso coletivo no municÃpio de Fortaleza-CE e associÃ-la aos fatores ambientais, higiÃnico-sanitÃrios e sÃcio-econÃmicos locais. Inicialmente foram cadastradas, atravÃs de um censo, 165 hortas em Fortaleza, dentre as quais 57 foram escolhidas aleatoriamente para o estudo. Cinco unidades de alface (Lacuta sativa) foram obtidas por horta, totalizando uma amostra de 285 hortaliÃas. Considerou-se como unidade amostral, 01 pà ou touceira, independente do peso ou tamanho, colhidas ao acaso. O exame parasitolÃgico das unidades foi realizado atravÃs do mÃtodo de sedimentaÃÃo espontÃnea em Ãgua e o de centrÃfugo-flutuaÃÃo em sulfato de zinco empregados ao lavado das hortaliÃas e um questionÃrio foi utilizado para obtenÃÃo dos dados epidemiolÃgicos. Em 100% das hortas estudadas, uma ou mais amostras estavam contaminadas com enteroparasitos. Foi encontrada uma positividade em 73,3% das amostras de alface examinadas, sendo diagnosticados ovos e larvas de helmintos e cistos de protozoÃrios, dentre estes: Strongyloides sp (66,7%), AncilostomÃdeos (17,5%), Ascaris lumbricoides (3,2%), Entamoeba sp, Trichuris sp, Isospora sp, e Iodameba butschilii (1,1%); Taenia sp e Toxocara sp (0,7%); e Shistosoma mansoni (0,4%). Dentre as amostras parasitadas, 54,4% apresentaram uma espÃcie de parasito, enquanto que 18,9% apresentaram duas ou trÃs. A prevalÃncia de Strongyloides sp apresentou significÃncia estatÃstica (p<0,05) apenas para idade e renda dos trabalhadores das hortas. Os demais fatores como uso de Ãgua nÃo tratada na irrigaÃÃo, proximidades com coleÃÃes hÃdricas e poluentes, solos com declives acentuados, uso de adubo orgÃnico sem nenhum tipo de tratamento, presenÃa de vetores e animais domÃsticos e inexistÃncia de local adequado para os trabalhadores das hortas evacuarem, apesar de poderem ter contribuÃdo para a elevada prevalÃncia observada, nÃo atingiram significÃncia estatÃstica. Tal fato pode ser explicado pela homogeneidade das condiÃÃes ecolÃgicas que foram precÃrias na maioria das hortas.
The present study has the goal to determine the prevalence of enteric parasites on vegetables, more specifically the lettuce (Lacuta sativa) from commercial or collective vegetable gardens of the city of Fortaleza, located in Northeastern Brazil, and to associate the findings with the environmental factors, the hygienic-sanitation conditions and the socio-economic situations locally. Initially, 165 vegetable gardens were identified spread over the city, of which, 57 were randomly chosen to have 5 unit samples examined, reaching a total of 285 vegetable units analyzed from each vegetable garden from July/99 to May/00. A unit sample was considered the whole plant independent of the size or weight. The parasite search was done through the spontaneous sedimentation in water and the centrifugal-flotation on zinc sulfate used to wash the units. A questioner was used to obtain the epidemiological data. In 100% of the vegetable gardens, at least one unit was contaminated. The following parasites were found on 73.3% of lettuces: Strongyloides sp (66,7%), ancylostomideous (17.5%), Ascaris lumbricoides (3.2%), Entamoeba sp, Trichuris sp, Isospora sp, Iodameba butschi (1.1%); Taenia sp, Toxocara sp (0.7%) and Shistosoma mansoni (0.4%). Among the positive samples, 54.4% had one single species and 18.9% had 2 or 3 different parasites identified. The Strongyloides prevalence presented statistical significance (p<0.05) for the absence of vegetables cleaning before exit and for workerâs age, and income. The other risk factors such as untreated irrigation water, proximity to pools and pollutes, accentuated ground sloping, the usage of untreated organic fertilizer, the presence of flying vectors and domestic animals, and the inexistence of inappropriate place for fecal evacuation by the workers, reached no statistic significance, despite the possible contribution to the elevated numbers that were found; that was probably related to the homogeneous ecologic conditions observed in the majority of the kitchen gardens studied.

As semeadoras desempenham um papel importante para a agricultura, pois elas criam as condiÃÃes adequadas para que o processo de semeadura seja feito de maneira correta. Um dos fatores que contribuem para o sucesso no estabelecimento da cultura à a uniformidade de distribuiÃÃo e a profundidade de deposiÃÃo de sementes no sulco de semeadura, estes fatores asseguram a populaÃÃo adequada de plantas. à muito complicado determinar todos os pontos que influem nas operaÃÃes agrÃcolas, por isso as ferramentas de qualidades se apresentam como uma alternativa para garantir o desempenho adequado do processo em funÃÃo dos fatores crÃticos, neste sentido o Controle EstatÃstico Processo auxilia no controle da qualidade nas etapas do processo, principalmente nos processos repetitivos, pois visa garantir a estabilidade e a melhoria contÃnua do processo. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a profundidade e a uniformidade de distribuiÃÃo de sementes de milho e arroz em funÃÃo de duas velocidades teÃricas de deslocamento 4 e 7 km.h-1 para as semeadoras de precisÃo mecÃnica e pneumÃtica e as velocidade de 4 e 8 km.h-1 para a semeadora de fluxo contÃnuo. O experimento foi realizado na Ãrea experimental do Departamento de Engenharia AgrÃcola da Universidade Federal do CearÃ, Campus do Pici, Fortaleza, CearÃ. O solo onde foi realizado o experimento foi classificado como Argissolo Vermelho-amarelo. As semeadoras de precisÃo foram reguladas para o espaÃamento de 14 cm entre as sementes de milho e profundidade de 5 cm, jà a semeadora de fluxo contÃnuo foi regulada para obter a densidade de 80 g sementes de arroz/m e profundidade de 3 cm. Para as semeadoras de precisÃo e fluxo contÃnuo realizou-se o processo de semeadura numa distÃncia de 50 m de comprimento com sementes de milho (Zea mays L.) e arroz, respectivamente. Para as semeadoras de precisÃo intervalos de 1m foram tomados ao acaso para a avaliaÃÃo da distribuiÃÃo longitudinal, jà para a semeadora de fluxo contÃnuo a avaliaÃÃo da densidade de distribuiÃÃo da semeadora foi realizada conforme as recomendaÃÃes de Campos (1998). A profundidade de deposiÃÃo de sementes de milho e arroz foi realizada por meio do mÃtodo da escavaÃÃo manual. Os dados foram analisados atravÃs do Software Minitab â VersÃo 16. Com o aumento da velocidade de deslocamento houve diferenÃa segundo a metodologia de Kurachi et al. (1989) para o nÃmero de espaÃamentos aceitÃveis, jà que com o aumento da velocidade de deslocamento o nÃmero de espaÃamentos aceitÃveis diminuiu para ambas as semeadoras, mas nas anÃlises estatÃsticas nÃo houve diferenÃa entre as velocidades avaliadas e a velocidade de deslocamento nÃo apresentou influÃncia na profundidade de deposiÃÃo de sementes para a semeadora pneumÃtica. Para a semeadora de fluxo contÃnuo o aumento da velocidade influenciou na uniformidade de distribuiÃÃo e na profundidade das sementes de arroz.
The planters play an important role in agriculture because they create the right conditions for the seeding process is done correctly. One of the factors that contribute to successful crop establishment is the distribution uniformity and depth of deposition of seeds at sowing, these factors ensure adequate plant population. It is very difficult to determine all the points that influence agricultural operations, so the tools of qualities present themselves as an alternative to ensure proper performance of the process in terms of the critical factors in this sense the CEP assists in quality control in the process steps especially in repetitive processes, it aims to ensure stable and continuous process improvement. This study aimed to assess the depth and uniformity of seed corn and rice based on two theoretical speeds shift 4 and 7 km.h-1 for the precision seeders mechanical and pneumatic and speed of 4 km and 8 km . h-1 for seed drills. The experiment was conducted in the experimental area of the Department of Agricultural Engineering, Federal University of CearÃ, Campus do Pici, Fortaleza, CearÃ. The soil where the experiment was conducted was classified as Typic yellow. The precision sowing machines were set to a spacing of 14 cm between maize and depth of 5 cm, because the seed drills was adjusted to the density of rice seed 80 g / m depth of 3 cm. For the precision seeders and streaming held up the process of seeding a distance of 50 m in length with seed corn (Zea mays L.) and rice, respectively. For precision sowing intervals of 1 m were taken at random for assessing the longitudinal distribution, as for seed drills evaluating the distribution density of the seeding was performed according to the recommendations of Fields (1998). The depth of deposition of seeds of maize and rice was performed by the method of manual excavation. Data were analyzed using Minitab Software - Version 16. With the increase in travel speed difference was observed according to the method of Kurachi et al. (1989) for the number of acceptable spacing, since with increasing travel speed and number of acceptable spacing decreased for both seeders, but the statistical analysis there was no difference between the measured speeds and speed did not have any influence on depth deposition of seeds to the air seeder. For seed drills to increase speed influenced the distribution uniformity and depth of rice seeds.

A HipertensÃo Arterial SistÃmica à uma das doenÃas de maior importÃncia epidemio-lÃgica no Brasil. Dentre as principais causas de morte decorrentes da hipertensÃo, as complicaÃÃes cardiovasculares apresentam grande relevÃncia devido à sua fre-qÃÃncia e gravidade. Estudos anteriormente realizados em vÃrios paÃses demonstra-ram que a prestaÃÃo da AtenÃÃo FarmacÃutica (AF) proporcionou reduÃÃo da taxa de risco cardiovascular (%RCV) em pacientes hipertensos. Tendo em vista esse fa-to, foi decidido averiguar e demonstrar, atravÃs de um ensaio clÃnico randomizado, a influÃncia da prestaÃÃo da AF na %RCV de pacientes hipertensos atendidos pela farmÃcia da Unidade BÃsica de SaÃde Dr. AnastÃcio MagalhÃes. Com esse intuito, foram formados dois grupos de estudo, um Grupo IntervenÃÃo (GI), no qual os parti-cipantes foram submetidos a um Acompanhamento FarmacoterapÃutico (AFT) de nove meses de duraÃÃo segundo o MÃtodo DÃder, e um Grupo Controle (GC), no qual os participantes receberam a assistÃncia tradicional e foram monitorados duran-te o mesmo perÃodo. Ao inÃcio, meio e fim do estudo, foram registrados exames labo-ratoriais e nÃveis pressÃricos dos participantes, indicadores necessÃrios para o cÃl-culo da %RCV, realizado posteriormente atravÃs da Escala de Framingham. Foram incluÃdos 68 pacientes, com 56 deles tendo completado o estudo. No fim, foram ana-lisadas as diferenÃas entre os resultados obtidos, para cada grupo, durante o estu-do. ApÃs anÃlise estatÃstica, observou-se que houve reduÃÃo estatisticamente signi-ficante nas %RCV e nos nÃveis de pressÃo arterial sistÃlica (PAS) de 26,9% e de 4,5% do valor inicial, respectivamente no GI, enquanto que no GC nÃo houve mu-danÃa significante. AlÃm disso, observou-se tendÃncia à resultados positivos nos demais indicadores clÃnicos dos participantes da pesquisa, sendo mais acentuado no GI. TambÃm foi analisada, durante o estudo, a incidÃncia de Problemas Relaciona-dos a Medicamentos (PRM), tendo sido identificados e classificados 151 casos, ha-vendo predominÃncia do PRM 04, 03 e 05, com freqÃÃncia de 31,8, 28,5 e 21,2%, respectivamente. A maioria foi considerada real (65,6%), sendo 28,3% deles classifi-cados como PRM 04, tambÃm sendo o mais freqÃente dentre os considerados po-tenciais (34,4%), com freqÃÃncia de 38,5% dos potenciais. Foram realizadas 124 intervenÃÃes farmacÃuticas a fim de resolver ou prevenir os PRM, sendo, a mais fre-qÃente, o aprazamento das tomadas dos medicamentos (52,4%). ApÃs a realizaÃÃo das intervenÃÃes, 89,2% das que tiveram seu desfecho avaliado resultaram em so-luÃÃo/prevenÃÃo dos problemas. Ao fim do trabalho, pÃde-se inferir que a inclusÃo do serviÃo de AF na assistÃncia ao paciente hipertenso foi mais eficaz na reduÃÃo da %RCV e nÃveis de PAS, principalmente, em comparaÃÃo à assistÃncia tradicional oferecida. Por fim, enfatiza-se a importÃncia da prestaÃÃo da AF a pacientes hiper-tensos em relaÃÃo à melhora do quadro de saÃde atual e da prevenÃÃo de compli-caÃÃes cardiovasculares futuras, bem como de problemas relacionados à terapia normalmente nÃo detectados ou negligenciados.
The Systemic Arterial Hypertension is one of the most important diseases in Brazil regarding epidemiology. Among the major causes for death in individuals with hyper-tension the cardiovascular complications show great relevance due to their severity and frequency. Prior studies from several countries demonstrated that, through the Pharmaceutical Care (PC) practice, there was a decrease in the cardiovascular risk rate (%CVR) of patients with hypertension. Up to that, it was decided to investigate and demonstrate, by means of a randomized clinical assay, the influence of the PC practice on the %CVR from hypertensive patients attended by the pharmacy service from the Primary Care Unit Dr. AnastÃcio MagalhÃes. Aiming this, two study groups were formed, an Intervention Group (IG), in which the participants went through a 9 month Pharmacotherapeutic Follow-up (PTF) according to the DÃder Method, and a Control Group (CG), in which the participants received traditional care and were mo-nitored during the same period of time. At the beginning, middle and end of the study, laboratorial exams and blood pressure levels from the participants were registered. These were necessary for the %CVR assessment which was performed after using the Framingham Scale. Were included 68 patients and 56 of them completed the study. At the end, the differences between results from each group were analyzed. After the statistical analysis, it was observed a statistically significant decrease on the %CVR and systolic blood pressure level from the IG patients, equivalent to 26.9% and 4.5% from the baseline, respectively. The CG didnât show any significant differ-ence. Beside this, it was observed a tendency for positive results on the other clinic indicators from the participants, which was greater on the IG. The incidence of the Drug Related Problems (DRP) was determined, and 151 DRP were identified and classified. The DRP 04, 03 and 05 were the most predominant with frequency of 31.8% 28.5% and 21.2%, respectively. The majority of the DRP was considered the real type (65.6%), with 28.3% of them classified as DRP 04. Among the potential type (34.4%) the most common was also the DRP 04, representing 38.5% of this group. Several pharmaceutical interventions were taken in order to solve or prevent the identified DRP (124 total). The most common intervention made was the teaching about the right time to take the drugs (52.4%). After the developing of the interven-tions, 89.2% of the problems were solved/prevented. At the end, we were able to conclude that the inclusion of the PC service on the hypertensive patient health care was more effective at decreasing %CVR and SBP level, especially, in comparison to the traditional health care offered. Finally, we emphasize the importance of the PC practice oriented to patients with hypertension as a good strategy to improve current health status and the future cardiovascular complications prevention as well as the prevention of the therapy related problems which are normally undetected or ne-glected.

Abstract:
A esquistossomose mansÃnica à considerada uma doenÃa de grande importÃncia em saÃde pÃblica, porque, embora tenha uma distribuiÃÃo focal, ainda à prevalente em extensas Ãreas do globo. Nesses focos, a doenÃa pode determinar formas clÃnicas graves, reduzindo, drasticamente, a capacidade laborativa e os anos de vida, com qualidade, dos indivÃduos portadores. Recentemente, medidas de controle, baseadas em tratamento em massa, saneamento e manejo do meio ambiente, fornecimento de Ãgua de qualidade e controle quÃmico de caramujos, tÃm propiciado um impacto significativo na morbidade desta parasitose, primariamente, em virtude de reduÃÃo na carga de parasitas na populaÃÃo e, secundariamente, pela queda da prevalÃncia. A Ãrea endÃmica da esquistossomose no CearÃ, identificada em 1977, compreendia um total de 2.972 localidades, distribuÃdas em 16 municÃpios. AÃÃes de controle foram desenvolvidas, de forma sistemÃtica e uniforme, em todas as localidades endÃmicas do CearÃ, nos Ãltimos 20 anos. Algumas localidades responderam, de forma espetacular, Ãs medidas de controle, enquanto outras nÃo apresentaram a mesma resposta. Este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar quais os fatores responsÃveis pela manutenÃÃo da transmissÃo da esquistossomose, numa Ãrea sob o impacto permanente de medidas de controle. Em particular, comparou-se a execuÃÃo de prÃticas e de fatores de risco ambientais, da densidade de caramujos e do percentual de infecÃÃo natural de caramujos, em localidades de alta e baixa transmissÃo. Observou-se, que alguns fatores de risco eram mais frequentes nas localidades de alta transmissÃo e que outros eram distribuÃdos, igualmente, nos dois grupos de localidades. Adicionalmente, as localidades de baixa transmissÃo estavam num estÃgio de urbanizaÃÃo menos avanÃado que as localidades de alta transmissÃo, de forma que o contato com a natureza e o consequente risco de exposiÃÃo aos fatores ambientais era mais frequente entre os indivÃduos que viviam nas localidades de baixa transmissÃo. No entanto, nas localidades de alta transmissÃo, o ambiente oferecia maior risco pois, tanto a densidade como as estimativas da frequÃncia da infecÃÃo natural dos caramujos eram maiores, proporcionando, assim, riscos adicionais para a transmissÃo da esquistossomose.
Schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma mansoni is a very important disease from a public health perspective. Although, the disease is focused its distribution is worldwide. The infection can determine clinical disease which hamper the laborious capacity of individuals and reduce the quality-adjusted life years. Recently, control programmes based in treatment, sanitation, supply of clean water and chemical control of snails have had a significant impact on the morbidity of this parasitosis, mainly due to reduction of the intensity and prevalence of infection. The endemic area for schistosomiasis in Ceara, was delimited in 1977, and it includes 2,972 villages over 16 municipalities. The control programme has been implemented, systematically and uniformly, in all endemic villages of Ceara for 20 years. Some villages have displayed a dramatic decrease in the intensity and prevalence of infection, although other did not. This study aims to describe the factors involved in the maintenance of transmission of schistosomiasis in an area under pressure of control over 20 years. Specifically, we compared the prevalence of risky behaviors, environmental risk factors, density and natural infection rate of snails from villages with high transmission with those from low transmission villages. We have concluded that some risk factors were more prevalent in high transmission villages, and others had similar prevalence in both group of villages. Moreover, the low transmission villages were in a lower degree of urbanization, in order that the man-water contact were more frequent there. Despite a lower exposure to water in the high transmission area, the likelihood of infection was higher because the environment exposes individual to a higher burden of the parasite expressed by a higher density and natural infection rate of snails in the higher transmission area.

Abstract:
Among the complications resulting from diabetes mellitus, diabetic neuropathies stand out, which represent the main chronic complication associated with the disease, being usually misdiagnosed and treated incorrectly. Thus, early detection and prevention are essential to reduce the costs of diabetic neuropathies. This study aimed to report the application of a light-hard technology as a health education strategy for the prevention of foot ulcers. This is a descriptive study, of the experience report type, which involved the implementation of an educational action in health, from July 2020 to December 2020, by Nursing students from a Brazilian federal university. The consultations were carried out weekly in a city in the interior of Ceará. Weekly home visits were made to people at risk of developing foot ulcers. An explanatory manual was built to support educational action in health. The technology was implemented to teach how people with diabetes could prevent foot injuries. The project had a significant result, reaching 48 people with diabetes, who received self-care guidelines. In addition to people with diabetes, caregivers and family members also received foot ulcer prevention guidelines during health education visits. With the help of light-hard technology, it was possible to disseminate knowledge about lions on the feet to the public with diabetes.

Abstract:
Identifying spatial clusters of risk for dengue cases according to social vulnerability constitutes a powerful tool for effective epidemiological and urban management. In this way, this work carries out an ecological study that considered confirmed cases of dengue and actions of endemic agents in the municipality of São Carlos-SP, in the year 2019, through the application of the spatial scan technique for classification of the risk areas, computing the relative risk (RR), with a confidence interval of 95% (CI95%:) and the São Paulo Social Vulnerability Index (IPVS) to characterize these areas. Seven clusters were identified, two of which were high risk (RR=37.54 / RR=33.39), with the highest risk located in a region with high vulnerability and the second in a region with very low vulnerability. These results provide information that allows the targeting of specific control actions from the early detection of cases in places with greater dengue transmissibility.

Abstract:
Introduction: Stroke causes cell injury and neurological damage that induce paralysis of a particular brain zone from which it has been left without proper circulation owing to thrombus, embolus or hemorrhage. Objective: Identify, through scientific articles, the nursing diagnoses of Stroke patients. Methods: Bibliographic and descriptive research held at Virtual Health Library, using the specific descriptors: Stroke and Brain Ischemia that were crossed with the general descriptor: Nursing Diagnosis, written in Portuguese and published from 2008 to 2018. Results: Eight articles were selected between 2008 and 2018 we found two publications in the following years: 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015. The first publication was in 2010 and the last one in 2015, there is no evidence of research on nursing diagnoses in patients with stroke in the last four years. All studies were performed cross-sectionally, with data collected in the state of Ceará and with a sample ranging from 24 to 156 patients. The Nursing Diagnoses cited by the articles were: urinary incontinence; risk for aspiration; impaired verbal communication; intolerance and risk for activity intolerance; risk for disuse syndrome; risk for falls; fatigue; impaired physical mobility, impaired bed mobility, impaired wheelchair mobility; impaired transfer ability; impaired walking; sedentary lifestyle. Conclusion: Stroke results in disabilities that compromise the quality of life. The importance of preventing risk factors for stroke is clear, as well as the need for quick and effective care, emphasizing the individually, systematic and qualifies nursing care in order to decrease stroke sequels and guarantee quality of life.

Abstract:
Classical Swine Fever (CSF) is an infectious disease, caused by Pestivirus and highly contagious, considered of mandatory notification by the OIE. Considering the cases of CSP that occurred in Brazil in 2019, this article sought to correlate the epidemiological indicators recorded in the national territory with risk factors that predispose to the incidence of this disease, as well as with the components of the epidemiological chain that are associated with prevention and the consequences for the economy of the sector. The study revealed that in the first half of 2019, 667 cases were confirmed. In contrast, in the second half, 79 cases were confirmed, with the states of Piauí, Ceará, and Alagoas recording higher prevalence of the disease. In the analyzed period, in the regions of disease incidence, 1303 and 336 pigs were susceptible to the virus in the first semester and second semester, respectively; that is, they were exposed to the risk of getting sick. Therefore, analyzing and understanding the health indicators of CSP in the Brazilian territory (in space) and in the year 2019 (in time), means a way to ensure that the Brazilian pork market continues to grow, in addition to developing and improving plans to control, prevent, and eradicate the disease.

Abstract:
In recent decades, natural gas has been gaining importance in world energy scene and established itself as an important source of energy. One of the biggest obstacles to increase the usage of natural gas is its transportation, mostly done in its liquid form, LNG – Liquefied Natural Gas, and storage. It involves the liquefaction of natural gas, transport by ship, its storage and subsequent regasification, in order to get natural gas in its original form and send it to the final destination through natural gas pipeline system. Nowadays, most terminals for receiving, storing and regasificating LNG, as well as sending-out natural gas are built onshore. These terminals, however, are normally built close to populated areas, where consuming centers can be found, creating safety risks to the population nearby. Apart from possible damages caused by its cryogenic temperatures, LNG spills are associated with hazards such as pool fires and ignition of drifting vapor clouds. Alternatively to onshore terminals, there are currently several offshore terminals projects in the world and some are already running. Today, Brazil owns two FSRU (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit) type offshore terminals, one in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro and the other in Pece´m, Ceara´, both contracted to PETROBRAS. The identification of the operation risks sources of LNG terminals onshore and offshore and its quantification through mathematical models can identify the most suitable terminal type for a particular location. In order to identify and compare the risks suggested by onshore and offshore LNG terminals, we have taken the example of the Suape Port and its Industrial Complex, located in Pernambuco, Brazil, which is a promising location for the installation of a LNG terminal. The present work has focused on calculating the distance to the LNG vapor cloud with the lower flammability limits (LFL), as well as thermal radiation emitted by pool fire, in case of a LNG spill from an onshore and from an offshore terminal. The calculation was made for both day and night periods, and for three types of events: operational accident, non-operational accident and worst case event, corresponding to a hole size of 0,75m, 1,5m e 5m, respectively. Even though the accidents that happen at an onshore terminal generate smaller vulnerability distances, according to the results it would not be desirable for the Suape Port, due to the location high density of industries and people working. Therefore, an offshore terminal would be more desirable, since it presents less risk to the surrounding populations, as well as for workers in this location.

Abstract:
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) consists of an damage to the brain tissue by an external agent, whether due to falls, car accidents or aggressions. It is a situation that often requires emergency care, due to possible sequelae and the imminent risk of death. Thus, TCE is one of the main causes of death worldwide, especially in children and young adults, translating into an important public health problem with a high socioeconomic impact. Objectives: To report the number of hospitalizations for TBI, in order to clarify the relationship between it and the variables studied. Methods: Analytical epidemiological study carried out by research at DATASUS based on data on head trauma in Brazil, with patients aged less than 1 year to 80 years or more, between January 2011 and December 2020, associating the location according to the age group, region, race, gender, mortality rate, year and number of deaths in the country. Results: Observing the cases of intracranial trauma, in the last 10 years (2011- 2020), 1,033,512 cases were noted, 787,480 (76.19%) of which were male. As for the regional proportion, there is a higher incidence in the southeastern region, with 431,785 (43.02%) cases, with São Paulo being 236,653 (54.80%) the state with the largest number, followed by the northeast region, in which it occupies the second position with the highest number of cases, with 274,781 (26.58%) and Ceará the most relevant state with 65,602 (23.87%) cases. Regarding race, browns with 348,581 (33.72%) cases had the highest rate. Evaluating an age group, 17.23% of the cases are between 20 and 29 years old, followed by 14.88% between 30 and 39 years old. In relation to deaths, there is a total of 98,537, with the age group between 20 and 29 years with the highest incidence with 14,814 (15.03%), with a highlight in the male gender with 13,152 (88.78%). With regard to the mortality rate, a higher rate was observed in males aged over 80 years. Conclusion: Traumatic brain injury often requires an early diagnosis for a better prognosis. Judging from the large number of cases, it is worth investing in methods for early diagnosis, seeking to improve the prognosis and reduce the total number of deaths. In addition, it is necessary to look at the causes of TBI and to emphasize the prevention of causes that can be avoided, especially among the youngest who are the most affected group.
