Impacto do surto da doença de chagas na comercialização do açaí (Euterpe Oleracea mart.) no município de Pinheiro - MA

O presente trabalho foi realizado com o intuito de contextualizar o impacto do surto da doença de Chagas na comercialização do fruto de açaí no município de Pinheiro-MA. O açaí se destaca devido ao seu aproveitamento integral e por estar associado à agricultura familiar agroextrativista, além de sua importância socioeconômica nas regiões produtoras. É utilizado de inúmeras formas, como planta ornamental no paisagismo; construção rústica de casas e pontes; cobertura de moradias na área rural, remédio; produção de celulose; alimentação humana e animal, dentre outros usos, e sua importância econômica, social e cultural está centrada na produção de frutos e palmitos. O açaí é um fruto de alto valor energético e nutritivo, sendo consumido na região de estudo com farinha de mandioca, tapioca, peixe frito e em forma de suco, sorvete, entre outros. O uso da polpa de açaí generalizou-se em todo o país e o cultivo do açaizeiro e o processamento do seu fruto já ocorrem em vários estados brasileiros. Os métodos utilizados na investigação foram pesquisa documental, observação e aplicação de questionários no município de Pinheiro-MA. Os dados obtidos foram analisados e tabulados, sendo sumarizados em frequência, média e porcentagem. Com a pesquisa, constatouse que as pessoas diagnosticadas com a doença de Chagas foram contaminadas devido à ingestão de alimentos contaminados, algumas delas possivelmente por açaí, oriundo do município de Igarapé Mirim, estado do Pará. Quando os processadores e comerciantes da polpa de açaí foram indagados sobre a forma de transmissão da doença de chagas, quase metade dos entrevistados não soube responder à questão. Além disso, também foi constatado com a pesquisa que houve redução na comercialização da polpa do açaí, quando comparado ao mesmo período do ano anterior ao surto da doença na região. Isto demonstra a necessidade de um trabalho de conscientização da população e dos processadores do suco de açaí quanto às formas de transmissão e prevenção da doença, pois a higienização correta dos frutos ainda é o método mais eficiente de prevenção, sendo de suma importância que o produto passe por um processo de lavagem e de pasteurização.

As estratégias de coping e o impacto sofrido pela família quando um dos seus está em tratamento contra o câncer

The aim of the present study was to analyze the impact suffered by 40 people when discovering that one of their family members was diagnosed with cancer, to analyze their coping strategies and expectations towards the patient’s illness and future. The study made use of the Coping Strategies Inventory by Folkman and Lazarus. Results show that most of the patients’ caregivers are their married children, with an average age of 45.7 (dp=12.67), and gainfully employed. These family members reported the negative impact of the diagnosis, with the predominant feelings of sadness and fear of loss, even though they had a positive perspective about the future, expecting the patient’s recovery. As to the functional coping strategies, the most used were the resolution of problems, followed by social support; the least used was positive revaluation. As to the dysfunctional strategies, the most used ones were escape and avoidance and the least used was taking the responsibility for the illness. Conclusions are that despite suffering with the negative impact of the disease, the family members are optimistic about the patient’s future and seek to use strategies that solve the problem effectively, without blaming themselves for the patient’s illness.

Variáveis de impacto na queda da mortalidade infantil no Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, no período de 1998 a 2008

This is an ecological, analytical and retrospective study comprising the 645 municipalities in the State of Sao Paulo, the scope of which was to determine the relationship between socioeconomic, demographic variables and the model of care in relation to infant mortality rates in the period from 1998 to 2008. The ratio of average annual change for each indicator per stratum coverage was calculated. Infant mortality was analyzed according to the model for repeated measures over time, adjusted for the following correction variables: the city's population, proportion of Family Health Programs (PSFs) deployed, proportion of Growth Acceleration Programs (PACs) deployed, per capita GDP and SPSRI (Sao Paulo social responsibility index). The analysis was performed by generalized linear models, considering the gamma distribution. Multiple comparisons were performed with the likelihood ratio with chi-square approximate distribution, considering a significance level of 5%. There was a decrease in infant mortality over the years (p < 0.05), with no significant difference from 2004 to 2008 (p > 0.05). The proportion of PSFs deployed (p < 0.0001) and per capita GDP (p < 0.0001) were significant in the model. The decline of infant mortality in this period was influenced by the growth of per capita GDP and PSFs.

Representatividade das redes sociais no processo educacional: potencialidades dos grupos virtuais como ferramentas de ensino-aprendizagem no Ensino Médio

One tool that has been in evidence, especially among young people, is Facebook. It can be classified as a synchronous communication tool that allows communities of people with similar interests to discuss and exchange experiences in real time, promoting the sharing of information and the creation of collective knowledge, even if they being in different parts of the globe. In this paper we show that Facebook can be used as an educational tool to aid the work done in the classroom and the impact of creating closed groups in online social networking for educational purposes. The survey was conducted with a group of students at a private school in Bauru/SP. We investigated the interaction profile of students with a closed group created on Facebook and through a questionnaire analyzed whether students use virtual environments for personal or educational. The survey reveals students perceptions about relevant aspects and the potential use of this tool as teaching-learning strategy

As revoltas e seu impacto sobre a comunicação pública: o potencial do Observatório Participativo da Juventude

The Participatório: Observatório Participativo da Juventude (Participatory: Observatory on the Youth Participation) is an online platform created in August 2013 as part of the response of the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic of Brazil to the protests which took Brazilian streets in the middle of that year. This paper analyses the Participatório against the theoretical context brought by studies of digital activism and social movements. We revise relevant theories and present results of an empirical study indicating parameters to assess whether the apparent goals of the platform would have been reached. The data suggest that the initiative could achieve its purposes as long as it secures the efficacy of future improvements.

O impacto da depressão para as interações sociais de universitários

Studies have shown that aversive conditions at the university may have great influence on academic achievement and the development of psychiatric disorders such as depression. In university context, social relations have been investigated over the years, but are scarce publications relating mental health and social skills. Thus, this paper compared a group of college students with a clinical depression with a group without clinical depression for the consequences and feelings that differents responses of social skills may have in social interactions with various interlocutors. A total of 128 students participated, 64 for clinical depression and 64 non-clinical. Questionário de Avaliação de Comportamentos e Contextos para Universitários – QHC – Universitários, Inventário de Fobia Social (Mini-Spin), Inventário de Depressão de Beck (BDI) and Entrevista clínica estruturada para o DSM-IV (SCID-I) were applied. The data were analyzed by test t of Student. The results show that students with depression have a great difficulty about the social skills regardless of which require more or less assertion and general way for all social interactions, either family, friends, roommate and partner.

Impacto da internet para os movimentos sociais e para a abordagem da mídia tradicional

Este artigo busca analisar os impactos que a internet trouxe para os movimentos sociais, tanto na sua organização, quanto na sua abordagem midiática, com o intuito de entender a forma de atuação das manifestações sociais no novo milênio. Com o advento da internet a grande mídia perde seu monopólio, tornando a comunicação mais democrática - apesar de ainda ser segregativa e baseada na renda. O estudo foi desenvolvido por meio da pesquisa exploratória, descritiva e analítica de cunho qualitativo e os exemplos e objetos de estudo discutidos são as manifestações que ocorreram nos últimos anos como o Occupy Wall Street (EUA) e as manifestações brasileiras ocorridas no mês de junho de 2013, mostrando sua abordagem pela mídia e o peso que a internet teve no desenrolar dos acontecimentos.
