Helmintoses zoonóticas transmitidas pelo consumo inadequado de peixes

Among the major food-borne parasitic zoonoses, the helminthiasis transmitted by consumption of fish have been highlighted because they involve a large number of individuals in many regions of the world in recent years. In the past, these parasitosis were restricted to underdeveloped nations or with peculiar eating habits; however the process of globalization of food production, the increased international travel and consumption of fish for their nutritional benefits caused the expansion into new areas, which had never before been recorded, making it a serious public health problem in some countries. This review discuss the main helminths transmitted by eating raw or undercooked fish, in order to alert the public, the scientific community and health authorities about their risks to human health, as well as stimulate the realization of new researches that contributes to a greater knowledge of the epidemiological situation in the country of these parasites and the development of strategies for prevention and control of them.

Projeto de Educação Ambiental e Lazer (PEDAL): dialogando a partir do cicloturismo na escola

The PEDAL had beginning with an interested group in accomplishing walks and bicycle trips looking for fruition of the disentailed leisure of the consumption. The objective of this report of experience is to present the cicloturismo as an alternative of fruition of the leisure that has been making possible debates and reflections that seek to the understanding of alunos/as of the basic education on the interface among the themes leisure, environmental education and quality of the life. In this report we considered intervention accomplished at a school of fundamental teaching in the city of Saint Carlos-SP. Starting from the results of the analysis of the registrations produced pelos/as alunos/as, we considered that the theme, of interest of the same ones, raised the construction of significant reflections, such as: the possibility of the use of the bicycle as means of transportation for the work or for the leisure; the need of public politics that promote and guarantee safety and respect to the cyclist.

Características do aço API X70 utilizado em tubos de transporte de petróleo e gás

Having in mind that petroleum's history presents a huge growth, the exploration and production areas have been receiving lots of investments, in order to attend the increasing demand for gas and petroleum. Looking through that scenario, new technologies have been evolving in favor of discovering new natural petroleum deposits and act with effectiveness in truly deep waters without giving up the worldwide best operational security practices. The use of rigid pipes in marine installations have been rising quickly and, thanks to this reality, the many storage and pipe launching forms became study objects and are getting improved. The analysis of steel API X70 characteristics, proving that they are suitable for use in pipes developed to transport gas and petroleum is the theme of this presentation. A tensile test was conducted to determine the base metal's mechanical properties, draining's tension, traction's resistance, elasticity's modulus and maximum tension. An aspect that is concerning too is the metallographic analysis, in order to determine the studied iron's microstructure. Results of analyzes showed that the steel has high resistance, with good capacity for deformation and well defined yield point, concluding suitable for the application in question

Estudo do efeito Bauschinger em tubos de aço API 5l x70 aplicados no transporte de petróleo e gás

Despite the growing concern in seeking more sustainable energy sources, oil demand is likely to grow in coming years. To keep up with this growth, the oil industry has increasingly invested in innovation and efficiency. Knowing that, new technologies have been developed to explore deeper waters, without giving up the best practices in worldwide operational safety. The use of rigid pipelines in deepwater offshore facilities is increasing quickly and because of this, the ways of storing and launching pipe have been studied and perfected. In this paper the Bauschinger effect on API 5L X70 steel was analyzed proving that there was a reduction in yield strength when an effort was applied in a previous direction, then an effort was then applied in the opposite direction. To observe this phenomenon, the tensile test was conducted to determine the mechanical properties of the base metal, such as yield stress, tensile strength, elasticity and maximum tensile, so then compare it with the results obtained in the Bauschinger Effect Test. The analysis results showed that the steel had high resistance, with good plastic deformation capacity without failing, well-defined yield point, showing itself appropriate for the operation of oil and gas pipes

HEALTH PROBLEMS AWARENESS DURING TRAVEL AMONG FACULTY MEMBERS OF A LARGE UNIVERSITY IN LATIN AMERICA. PRELIMINARY REPORT

Health safety during trips is based on previous counseling, vaccination and prevention of infections, previous diseases or specific problems related to the destination. Our aim was to assess two aspects, incidence of health problems related to travel and the traveler’s awareness of health safety. To this end we phone-interviewed faculty members of a large public University, randomly selected from humanities, engineering and health schools. Out of 520 attempts, we were able to contact 67 (12.9%) and 46 (68.6%) agreed to participate in the study. There was a large male proportion (37/44, 84.1%), mature adults mostly in their forties and fifties (32/44, 72.7%), all of them with higher education, as you would expect of faculty members. Most described themselves as being sedentary or as taking occasional exercise, with only 15.9% (7/44) taking regular exercise. Preexisting diseases were reported by 15 travelers. Most trips lasted usually one week or less. Duration of the travel was related to the destination, with (12h) or longer trips being taken by 68.2% (30/44) of travelers, and the others taking shorter (3h) domestic trips. Most travelling was made by air (41/44) and only 31.8% (14/44) of the trips were motivated by leisure. Field research trips were not reported. Specific health counseling previous to travel was reported only by two (4.5%). Twenty seven of them (61.4%) reported updated immunization, but 11/30 reported unchecked immunizations. 30% (9/30) reported travel without any health insurance coverage. As a whole group, 6 (13.6%) travelers reported at least one health problem attributed to the trip. All of them were males travelling abroad. Five presented respiratory infections, such as influenza and common cold, one neurological, one orthopedic, one social and one hypertension. There were no gender differences regarding age groups, destination, type of transport, previous health counseling, leisure travel motivation or pre-existing diseases. Interestingly, the two cases of previous health counseling were made by domestic travelers. Our data clearly shows that despite a significant number of travel related health problems, these highly educated faculty members, had a low awareness of those risks, and a significant number of travels are made without prior counseling or health insurance. A counseling program conducted by a tourism and health professional must be implemented for faculty members in order to increase the awareness of travel related health problems.

Os objetivos da circunavegação da U.S. Exploring Expedition (1838-1842): longitude, mapeamento náutico e instituição das coordenadas geográficas modernas

Analisa o principal objetivo da viagem científica de circunavegação realizada pelos EUA entre 1838 e 1842. A tarefa de mapeamento destaca-se entre outras metas científico-estratégicas da viagem exploratória. A iniciativa da empreitada foi movida pela busca da exata localização em alto-mar após a instituição do sistema de longitudes, quando cartas náuticas e mapas de vários países foram conferidos, e outros, novos, desenhados. Os EUA participaram desse esforço internacional, dando início à constituição de um sistema cartográfico próprio.

Voyages as exercises of the gaze

This article focuses the relationship between journeys and photographs especially among anthropologists who travel. Having travelled to the Upper Negro River as an advisor of a PhD student, I discuss what digital photographs may mean in a context where verbal communication is impossible. Real or imaginary journeys are a source of images, reports, or travel logs in which it is difficult to discern what is real and what is fiction. After discussing a few famous scientific and literary journeys, the article focuses on some anthropological journeys and concludes that images produced by anthropologists are a result of trained intuition, a sensitive gaze, and memories of former travels. The article includes photographic essays that incorporate pictures I took in February 2012 among the Hupd'äh, in the Upper Negro River region.

El hecho y su estudio histórico-jurídico: Una propuesta para la enseñanza de la historia local

[ES] El presente trabajo pretende determinar e individualizar los rasgos diferenciales de las regiones insulares y su incidencia en la organización administrativa desde un examen histórico-jurídico e histórico-comparado. El estudio se enmarca en la línea propuesta por la Comisión de Islas, integrada en la Conferencia de las Regiones Periféricas y Marítimas de la Unión Europea. La Comisión de Islas concluyó que los archipiélagos, como entidades geopolíticas, requieren de una especial atención y sus específicas características sólo pueden ser analizadas por la vía de un sistema de representación global.

O yâmîyxop como forma de conhecimento: formas do imaginário maxakali. En: Avá, nº 19

O povo Maxakali fala uma língua do tronco linguístico Macro-Gé e habita a Terra Indígena Maxakali e duas Reservas Indígenas localizadas no nordeste do Estados de Minas Gerais. Tratarei aquí do imaginário presente nos yâmîyxop, termo que designa a um só tempo o colectivo dos espíritos animais e dos ancestrais, bem como os rituais e cantos realizados em honra destes. Da análise dos yâmîyxop se despreende um conhecimento quase enciclopédico do seres da Mata Atlântica, mesmo após os colonizadores brasileiros terem posto a floresta abaixo no início do século XX, deixando somente capim em seu lugar. Ademais, há nos yâmîyxop imagens relacionadas ao mundo do colonizador, tais como: as viagens feitas pelos aviôes, as bebedeiras propiciadas pelo álcool, as cercas que protegem as propriedades. Em suma, os yâmîyxop evidenciam um universo rico e plural, no qual a "natureza" dos seres é apreendida de forma distinta do conhecimentocientífico ocidental.

Experiencias en España sobre el comportamiento de sistemas de pisos prefabricados a lo largo de más de 40 años

No es fácil transmitir en unas pocas páginas la importancia que los prefabricados de hormigón han alcanzado en España. La presencia de estos elementos es constante en cualquier campo, desde la edificación, en la que nos centraremos en adelante, hasta la obra civil (puentes, muros de contención de tierras -fotografía n° 1-), las obras hidráulicas (tuberías, arquetas, ...), marítimas, etc. También abarca desde los sectores tradicionales, como los propios puentes o las naves industriales, a los más novedosos como los aerogeneradores que muestra la fotografía n° 2 y desde los elementos de mayor importancia estructura! a los puramente arquitectónicos, sin ninguna participación resistente (paneles de fachada, mobiliario urbano, etc.) Con todo, quizás el éxito más notable de los prefabricados no haya sido tanto la difusión alcanzada como la permanencia conseguida a lo largo de los años. Hablamos, como se describirá mas adelante, de un siglo de presencia en un mundo en continua evolución, años en las que el sector ha atravesado crisis muy graves (la actual no es la menos importante) a las cuales ha sabido adaptarse
