A importância da atenção farmacêutica após a verificação da qualidade microbiológica de medicamentos contendo paracetamol encontrados em algumas residências de Américo Brasiliense - SP

It is known that a high microbial count can compromise the stability of medicines, thus reducing their therapeutic efficacy. This work tried to demonstrate that the microbial contamination can be directly related to the inadequate handling of the medicines stored in homes, making it possible to draw strategies to reduce the possible risks of medical therapy offering correct information and advising. The objective of this work was to evaluate the quality of the medicines containing paracetamol found in the residences of Américo Brasiliense-SP, using the microbial analysis of non-sterile method described in the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia (1988). The medicine samples (30 samples) were obtained directly from the interviewed local residents, who had received new medicine bottles of the same product. An analysis of viable microorganisms (bacteria and fungus) was carried out to identify pathogens found in the collected samples. Although 90% of the analyzed samples have shown some microbial contamination, the results indicated the absence of pathogenic microorganisms, and the total count of viable microorganisms was below the maximum value for non-sterile (104 UFC/g or mL). It was also verified that the local residents stored the medicines in appropriate places, according to the orientations received when they bought the medicines in pharmacies and drugstores, showing the importance of information for the correct use and conservation of pharmaceuticals.

Reabilitação do Patrimônio Ferroviário de Birigui - SP

Birigui nasceu e se expandiu a partir da Estrada de Ferro do Noroeste do Brasil. Esta permitiu que o município não fosse somente um posto de parada, mas sim um núcleo urbano. Além disso, foi essencial para o traçado urbano, visto que as ruas e quadras foram feitas paralelas a linha férrea. No entanto, atualmente, o local que deu início a cidade, não mais possui vestígios históricos, visto que sua primeira estação ferroviária foi demolida para a construção de uma nova a 1,7 km de distância. Tal demolição ocorreu devido uma modificação necessária do traçado da linha férrea. Percebe-se, portanto, que parte do patrimônio ferroviário de Birigui foi demolido, e outra parte encontra-se inutilizada, constituindo um vazio urbano em meio a malha urbana. Dar atenção a esses elementos históricos e ao contexto atual em que Birigui se encontra são essenciais para a elaboração de um projeto de reabilitação de seu conjunto ferroviário. A proposta busca a elaboração de espaços públicos coerentes às necessidades da população do bairro e do município. Além disso, trata-se de reintegrar esse espaço ao desenho da malha urbana, de modo a não ser visto mais como uma cicatriz ou um espaço obscuro, mas sim como um espaço de convivência e permanência dos moradores, assim como de preservação histórica

Avaliação das características geomorfológicas na sensibilidade ambiental a derrames de óleo: estudo de caso no baixo curso do rio Piracicaba

The environmental sensitivity charts to oil constitute an important tools for contingency planning and assessment of damage caused by oil spills. The main objective of this article is to evaluate the sensitivity of river dynamics to oil spills. Through the identification and mapping of fluvial geomorphological features will be assessed the importance of these resources in terms of sensitivity to oil spills. Through satellite images, was obtained the geomorphological mapping and geomorphological parameters were analysed, in order to characterize the environmental sensitivity to oil spills and derivatives. Therefore, the implementation of an environmental sensitivity mapping from geomorphological parameters contributes to the mapping of the environmental sensitivity to oil, which will assist in the containment and cleanup procedures in case of accidents in fluvial and terrestrial environments, that are slightly studied in Brazil

Potencial de contribuição e importância socioambiental dos 'catadores autônomos' de Rio Claro (SP) para o programa de coleta seletiva municipal

The Urban Solid Residues are the rests of human activity, popularly known by trash and considered by population like useless, undesirable and disposable. On the other hand, for the waste pickers, solid residues are the beginning of a cycle: they see in the other's people trash the only income, an economic value. Currently, in brazilian cities, one million collectors act, alone or in cooperatives, socially excluded by the work they do. The National Policy of Solid Residues (PNRS), instituted in 2010, established guidelines to the execution of integrated residues management, with should be practiced by city halls and other governmental institutions. This policy has, besides other things, goals of residues reduction and inclusion of waste pickers in the mechanism of selective collect and recycling. However, this and other public policies created for residue management are benefic only for cooperated waste pickers. That could negatively affect most of this class, since 90% are waste pickers working in a precarious way on the country's streets. This study has for objective show that most of waste pickers that work in a precarious way on the brazilian territory has a huge potential for the solid residues recycling chain and how they should be valued for the environmental services they provide, so they can be included with dignity on the society, ensuring economic and social benefits for this workers. The methodology adopted was based on the amount of residue collected by the 44 cooperated members of the Rio Claro‟s waste pickers cooperative to estimate the potential of collect and recycling did by 210 autonomous waste pickers who are active on city streets. It was observed that the cooperative collects the equivalent of 10.2% of all recyclable residues generated by city population. However, with the potential that these autonomous waste pickers have, which together could contribute 465 tonnes of solid residues per month, or 5,570 tons a year...

Dental caries-related quality of life and socioeconomic status of preschool children, Bauru, SP

AIM: To evaluate oral health-related quality of life of preschool children of Bauru, State of São Paulo, Brazil, and associate it with socioeconomic profile of households. METHODS: The sample consisted of 229 preschool children between 3 and 5 years and the dmft (decayed, missing due to caries, filled teeth) index was adopted for assessment children's dental caries in accordance with the standards recommended by the World Health Organization. Questionnaires were used for evaluation oral health-related quality of life (Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale) and socioeconomic profile of parents or guardians of the preschool children. Statistical analysis was performed descriptively by relative and absolute frequencies and by Spearman's correlation and Kruskal-Wallis test (p <0.05). RESULTS: A dmft of 1.65 (± 2.87) and a Sic Index 4.88 (± 3.20) were found, indicating the polarization of dental caries in the studied group. It was verified low influence of oral health on quality of life of the children examined. With respect to socioeconomic classification, 66.38% of families were in the lower middle class. Linear and statistically significant correlation was found between dmft and oral health-related quality of life for the overall score and domains of the questionnaire (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: It was found low influence of oral health on quality of life of the preschool children and the assessment of socioeconomic conditions of the children's families may guide practices aiming to reducing inequalities in the distribution of dental caries in the population.

Interventions that seek to change the areas occupied by squatters have been one of the most common forms of Urban Management Policies, trying revolver one of the major problems of Brazilian metropolises, namely the precarious living conditions of a large part of the population in the city. A Pedreira Prado Lopes, a slum located in the northwestern region of Belo Horizonte, is one of twelve local benefit program by urbanization of slums Vila Viva, a program of structural intervention in Slums at the municipal level. These interventions, which are benefiting 9,000 residents have funds of R$37,4 millions the PAC (Growth Acceleration Program) and were guided by PGE - Specific Global Plan prepared by technicians URBEL (Urbanization Company of Belo Horizonte) in 1998. This project intervention was the creation of a set of housing for former slum housing. The objective of this research is to know how this intervention impacted the lives of residents after settling in condominiums, seeking to describe the changes on the horizon of women who are in most household heads residents of these buildings, as shown by studies of the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), 2011

O bairro, a fachada, os moradores, os estudantes : Interações por meio da arte e da educação

O presente trabalho traz minha experiência como arte-educadora do Projeto Pintura na Fachada com educandos da EMEF Padre José Narciso Vieira Ehrenberg, Marcos em Campinas - SP. O objetivo do projeto é reunir os alunos da escola para que através da apropriaçao da linguagem artística da pintura mural, possam expressar suas questoes em relaçao ao bairro. O projeto consiste em colocar os alunos em contato com os moradores do bairro, para investigar os múltiplos olhares dos moradores antigos para o Jardim Sao Marcos. A partir dessa investigaçao e de conversas informais e entrevistas, os alunos identificaram os elementos imagéticos presente no discurso dos moradores, para reproduzi-los na pintura mural. A pintura mural é feita na fachada das casas dos moradores entrevistados em que o morador escolhe entre uma gama de imagens produzidas pelos alunos, a imagem que para ele representa o bairro ou a imagem que ele quer estampada na fachada de sua casa. A pintura mural nas fachadas das casas baseia-se na linguagem das intervençoes urbanas como instrumento crítico e investigativo das relaçoes sociais da comunidade local
